When Li Yang went off the break with 41 points in the third quarter, the difference between the two teams reached 17 points, and the rest of the Celtics players did not let the difference narrow after the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the performance of the Celtics was still stable, Li Yang played a symbolic four minutes in the fourth quarter of the game and scored 3 points, because the difference had reached more than 20 points, and the performance of the other Celtics players was also good, the game basically entered garbage time, Li Yang was replaced by Stevens and did not return to the court until the end of the game.

44 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals, 2 turnovers, this is the data handed over by Li Yang in this game, although only 4 assists are far below his season average, but no one will pay attention, Li Yang scored 44 points, this is his ninth consecutive game to get 40+, tying the 40+ scoring record of Jordan and Kobe, the two leading scorers!

Although Li Yang had already accomplished this feat in the third quarter of the game, until the end of the game, both the ESPN commentators on the sidelines and the fans outside the court were talking about it.

"That's cool! Young's scoring prowess can be compared to two of the best scorers in NBA history, which is unbelievable. ”

"I guessed before the game that Young would be able to do this, and no one on the Pelicans team could limit Super Young who really wanted to score points!"

"I'm already looking forward to the next game, will Young break Jordan and Kobe Bryant's record against LeBron James? ”......

Yes, when Li Yang won 40+ in 9 consecutive games, the fans' eyes had turned to the next game.

For the next game of the Celtics, there are too many things to pay attention to, the matchup between Li Yang and James, whether Li Yang can extend the 40+ games to 10 games, thus breaking the record of Jordan and Kobe, and ...... Christmas Wars.

The Christmas game has always been the highlight of the NBA's regular season, and the league usually arranges the two teams that won the championship last season as the Christmas game, which is more likely to attract the attention of fans.

But James' departure from the Heat made the matchup between the Spurs and the Heat no longer so meaningful, so the league did not consider arranging a matchup between the Spurs and the Heat when it arranged the Christmas game in the summer.

However, the Spurs vs. Heat is no longer eye-catching, but the matchup between Li Yang and James is still the focus of fans, and the league is well aware of this, and it just so happens that both of them have changed teams, so the league will take the Celtics vs. Cavaliers as one of the three major games in the Christmas game.

In addition, Li Yang has won 40+ in 9 consecutive games, and he is only one game away from breaking the record, which naturally makes the next game particularly interesting.

Even Anthony Davis on the Pelicans' side talked about this when he said goodbye to Li Yang after the game.

"Yang, congratulations, good luck in your next game!"

"AD, you've been doing really well and I'm sure you've been able to play really well this season. Li Yang and Davis came to a big hug, and then patted each other's arms and said.

Davis nodded and said, "Of course, our goal this season is the playoffs, and I'm sure we can accomplish that." ”

"It's a pity. Speaking of which, Davis said with a little regret: "If we can work together, we will definitely be able to go far in the playoffs." ”

"AD, your current helper is also good. Li Yang said with a smile.

Davis didn't dwell on this topic for too long, in fact, he had already accepted the result, but Li Yang's outstanding performance in this game reminded him of regret.

The two chatted a few more words, and then said goodbye to each other, Davis also wanted to invite Li Yang to have a small reunion again, Li Yang considered that the next game would be a Christmas war, and it was just a day of rest, so he politely declined, anyway, there will still be a chance in the future.

After spending the night in New Orleans, the Celtics flew to Boston the next morning to prepare for the following Christmas Eve and Christmas, as well as the next Christmas fight.

In the outside world, Li Yang's performance has also become the most discussed topic among fans.

In 9 consecutive 40+ games, Li Yang shocked all fans and industry insiders with his scoring ability, and also made everyone look forward to the next matchup between Li Yang and James.

Some media also interviewed James at this time, asking questions about Li Yang's hot state, and at the same time talked about Li Yang is only one game away from breaking the record, and asked James if he will do his best to prevent Li Yang from breaking the record.

James didn't answer the question directly, the Cavaliers boss responded: "I don't care about that, I care more about winning or losing the game, the last time we met, he had a better team around him, so he won the game, and now, I have better teammates, I believe the team can win the game." ”

When James answered this interview, Li Yang was on the plane to Boston, so naturally he didn't know what James said, in fact, Li Yang didn't have the heart to pay attention to this issue for the time being.

On the plane, Li Yang kept an eye on the time, mentally calculating which of the flights from France and his own flights would arrive in Boston first.

Yes, Inia is coming, and the day before Christmas, Inia chose to fly from France to Boston to spend Christmas Eve with Li Yang.

Although Li Yang, as a traverser, does not attach as much importance to Christmas Eve as others around him, he naturally does not want this Christmas Eve to be alone, plus he and Inia have not seen each other for several months after separating in the summer, Li Yang is undoubtedly extremely longing for Inya's arrival.

Although Li Yang very much wanted to appear in front of the other party as soon as Inia got off the plane, the Celtic plane still landed later than Inya's flight after all, and Li Yang did not appear in front of the other party as soon as Inia got off the plane, but saw the figure that made him think about it when he just got off the airport hall.

The blonde hair hung down her shoulders and fell along her pale neck, revealing the curvature of Inya's melon-seed-like cheeks. A half-length trench coat and a pair of slim pants simply match Yuqiao to set off her unique temperament.

Standing in the crowd, Inia looked at Li Yang with a light smile and a light smile, unparalleled, even in the crowd, the plump figure was still so conspicuous, at this moment, Li Yang felt that the bright sunshine was eclipsed in that light smile.
