391 Youngest Mr. 60 points in the playoffs
In 1986, the sophomore, 23-year-old Jordan faced the Celtics, led by the league's No. 1 forward "Big Bird" Bird, in the first round of the playoffs, and scored 63 points.
21 years later, in 2007.
The fourth-year-old, 22-year-old Li Lei faced the Spurs led by the league's No. 1 forward "Shifo" Duncan in the third round of the playoffs, scoring 45 points in the third quarter and hoping to break Jordan's 21-year-old playoff scoring record.
It's a coincidence that no book is written.
On this night, Michael Jordan came to the sidelines to watch the game and witnessed Li Lei's performance.
You say how can Jordan's mood not be complicated.
Maybe the current Li Lei is not worthy of being compared with Jordan, but he is chasing Jordan at an unimaginable speed.
The youngest MVP in history!
The youngest FMVP in history!
The youngest DPOY in history!
The youngest Mr. 60 in history!
The youngest Mr. 50 in history!
The youngest Mr. 50 in playoff history!
The youngest Mr. 40 in playoff history!
ā¦ā¦
If before, Jordan could still ignore Li Lei's existence.
But when he saw Li Lei challenging his record again, Jordan couldn't ignore Li Lei.
Even, Jordan still had some worries and hesitations in his heart.
"This little guy won't break all my records one by one in the future, will he?"
During the break in the third quarter, the FedEx Center also played Li Lei's data on the big screen.
"45 points in three quarters!"
On top of that, they also set the NBA playoffs record in the top 10 for individual single-game scoring.

Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, or Michael Jordan......
Ten records, five belong to Jordan.
Lord Belle, Basketball Emperor, Fliggy, Scoring Machine, AI ...... The five supergiants only had a tie with Jordan.
That's where Jordan is terrifying.
Everyone knows that Jordan is great, with a 100% Finals win rate, ten scoring titles, and one of only two players in NBA history to receive DPOY as a guard.
But only by carefully analyzing each of Jordan's records will you know what Jordan's greatness really is.
Michael Jordan is everywhere!
The Grizzlies staff listed this set of records with the original intention of Li Lei. I want to tell everyone that the Grizzlies are about to unlock a new honor.
But looking at this set of records, no one can ignore the name "Michael Jordan".
Especially when Jordan also came to the FedEx Center tonight.
āMJļ¼ā
Suddenly, a Memphis fan shouted excitedly.
āMJļ¼ā
Someone took the lead, and dozens of fans joined in.
āMJļ¼ā
Thousands of people joined.
āMJļ¼ā
Nearly 20,000 fans shouted together.
āMJļ¼ā
The Grizzlies and Spurs players and coaching staff hesitated for a moment and joined in, clapping and chanting Jordan's name.
The bosses on both sides, Li Lei and Duncan, were also among them, reverently chanting Jordan's name.
This is Jordan's influence!
In the face of everyone's respect, Jordan was also a little moved, he stood up from the bench, patted his chest, and then raised his arms in response to everyone.
āMJļ¼ā
āMJļ¼ā
āMJļ¼ā
ā¦ā¦
With Jordan's response, the scene became even more enthusiastic.
Li Lei, as the boss of the Grizzlies, walked up to Jordan on behalf of his owner and hugged Jordan.
"Michael, thank you for your comeback in basketball. You've taken the sport to a level never seen before. ā
Jordan hugged Li Lei, patted Li Lei's back, and said sincerely: "You are the best newcomer I have ever met, go chase your dreams." ā
At this moment, Michael, without hesitation and bitterness, sincerely blessed Li Lei.
A good rest time has become a large-scale star-chasing scene.
It was also at the moment when Jordan and Li Lei hugged that the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to the top.
Memphis fans burst into confidence that their king would take over the scepter from Jordan and would rule the NBA world for the rest of the year.
ā¦ā¦
The fourth quarter comes back.
Li Lei did not rest, and played as soon as possible.
The same goes for Duncan on the other side.
Carlisle is well aware that the final quarter is crucial, and that the Grizzlies are now dead and must be resolved.
And Popovich on the other side also knows that the Grizzlies will fight hard, and he can't give the Grizzlies any chance.
The Western Conference finals have dragged on for too long, and the Spurs are all exhausted, and it is best to beat the Grizzlies in this one.
If this one is lost, not to mention that the Spurs may be eliminated. Even if the Spurs win a tiebreaker in the end, will they still have the strength to face the 76ers, who are sitting on the hill and watching the tigers?
ā¦ā¦
As soon as the game began, Duncan took possession of the ball and hit the key score.
ć
Grizzlies offense.
Li Lei faced Bowen's defense, directly started to break through, made a quick stop in the middle distance, and then made a backward jumper.
Swish!

Ginobili breaks through the trap and splits the ball to Parker.
Parker's second breakaway, mid-range throw, deflected wide under Lowry's interference.
But Duncan grabbed a crucial offensive rebound, forced Milicic to score, and caused Milicic to foul.
Duncan played a wave of 2+1.
ć
Grizzlies offense.
As soon as Li Lei got the ball, Bowen and Ginobili took a pinch attack.
Gasol came up to answer and passed the ball hand-to-hand with Li Lei.
Li Lei passed the ball out, instantly turned on the no-ball mode, and ran wildly to get rid of Bowen.
Gasol's pass came immediately.
Li Lei received the ball and threw it.
Bowen pounced and gave the confrontation enough.
Li Lei was fearless and did not hesitate to shoot against Bowen.
Swish!

Li Lei scored 50 points.
On the big screen of the FedEx Center, Li Lei's data is displayed.
And a note popped up: the youngest playoff 50-point playoff in NBA history.

Spurs attack.
Duncan continued to attack with the ball in the low post.
The Grizzlies couldn't take it anymore and took the bag.

Swish!

Grizzlies offense.
Li Lei broke through to the inside line with the help of Gasol's cover, but encountered Duncan's assistance and failed to shoot.
But at that moment, Li Lei slid past Duncan's side and picked up the rebound above Horry's head.
Li Lei threw himself into robbing, deceived Fei Huo Li with a false trick, and succeeded in playing the board.
Bang, boom!
ć
Li Lei's score: 52 points.
The game was very tight, with the scores of both sides alternating upwards.
Li Lei also played a magical performance, and his score continued to climb.

Last: 101, the Grizzlies lead by 3 points.
Li Lei broke through with the ball, causing Duncan's foul and getting two free throws.
Li Lei walked to the free throw line, and the Memphis fans trembled with excitement and shouted.
But when Li Lei received the ball, the whole court was silent. Memphis people didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the sound of their breathing would affect Li Lei.
Li Lei's first penalty hit steadily.
Swish!
ć
And Li Lei's personal score reached 60 points.
The big screen has changed again.
"The youngest playoff 60-point shooter in NBA history!"
Li Lei surpassed the "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain, "Answer" Iverson, "Fliggy" Barkley, and "Scoring Machine" Barry, ranking third in history.
Now, only the "God of Basketball" Jordan and the "Lord Baylor" Baylor are left in front of him.
Subsequently, it was Li Lei's second penalty.
Bang dang!
The basketball playfully jumped on the hoop and honestly jumped into the hoop, but the fans were nervous.
ć
Li Lei's score: 61 points.
He equaled Elgin Baylor "Lord Baylor".
Now, only the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan is left in front of Li Lei.
At this moment, Jordan still couldn't help but get nervous.
