NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!
Chapter 74: New Record - Read on!
In the second quarter, after taking Jennings out, the Bucks brought in backup point guard Luke Ridnour to continue the game.
This is a traditional point guard who prioritizes playmaking, so the Bucks' offensive burden falls on the team's leader, Michael Reed.
里德是00年的二轮十四号秀,曾经在06年对战爵士的时候砍下了57分的高分,也曾在06-07赛季以场均32.4分短暂领跑过得分榜。
Today, this veteran shooter seems to have rediscovered his former glory, shouldering the Bucks' offensive firepower.
Despite the Clippers' defensive interference, Reed always managed to make the shot in various ways.
The second quarter ended with a whistle, and Reed scored 12 points in the quarter.
10 points in the first quarter, 12 points in the second quarter, for a total of 22 points at halftime.
This would have been Reed's career night at any time.
However, the scoreboard showed that the Bucks were still trailing by 5 points, 50-55.
On the sidelines, Reed, panting heavily, looked at Zhou Yi of the Clippers across the court, his eyes filled with shock and admiration.
"Zhou! He scored 15 points in the second quarter! He's already scored 29 points by halftime!"
The commentators' voices revealed the secret to the Clippers' lead.
The Bucks fans fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.
Bucks fans did not betray their team, but anyone who sees such a young talent scoring with abandon on the court can't help but admire him.
Zhou Yi, who had a hot hand in the first quarter, entered a strange state after stepping onto the court in the second quarter.
Zhou Yi had heard of the Zone mode in interviews with Jordan and Kobe, and had also read about it in countless novels.
This concept was first proposed by Tex Winter, the mastermind behind the triangle offense, to describe an invincible state of focus on the field.
Even when Delfino's hands were already on Zhou Yi's face, Zhou Yi, in Zone mode, could still put the ball in the basket despite the defense.
During halftime, in the away team's locker room, everyone looked at Zhou Yi as if he were a savior.
On this night when Kaman and others had a cold shooting night, Zhou Yi forcefully lifted the team to victory.
An excited Byron Davis walked up to Zhou Yi and gave him a high five.
However, he moved very gently, as if afraid that his palm would ruin Zhou Yi's feel for him.
After the high-five, Baron Davis even kissed his palm, believing that this would allow him to absorb the tactile sensations of the I Ching.
"Fuck Baron, stop your disgusting actions, get the ball safely into my hands on the field, and I'll lead you to victory."
Upon seeing Baron Davis's actions, Zhou Yi laughed and cursed.
"Understood! Zhou, I will be your most loyal teammate."
Baron Davis, the former troublemaker who dared to argue with the general manager, now bowed to Zhou Yi like a soldier.
Looking at Zhou Yi's face, Byron recalled the conversation on the plane.
"Your name will also be engraved on the championship ring."
Perhaps in the near future, this will really come true.
......
When the whistle blew in the third quarter, Zhou Yi returned to the court.
He is now incredibly grateful to his past self for choosing Hamilton's endurance talent after winning the championship in Madness 3.
As summer training and competitions continued, Zhou Yi could feel his physical limits constantly being raised.
NBA's top scorers each have their own unique scoring methods, but behind every scoring machine is a superhuman physical ability.
Hamilton's stamina was the foundation that enabled him to score so many points in the first half of the game.
On the court, with only a five-point difference, the Bucks players did not give up.
Delfino was still sent to the opposite side of Zhouyi by Skiles, which was their best option.
All of the Bucks' defensive resources are in the paint, and their bench forwards are not as effective as Delfino.
On the three-point line, Zhou Yi, who was tightly guarded by Delfino, received a pass from the round-faced Deng.
The moment the basketball came into Zhou Yi's hands, Ridnour rushed over to cover it.
Skiles watched this scene nervously from the sidelines; it was a change in his defense after halftime.
Double-teaming is the ultimate test for scorers in the NBA, and the local inequality of 2-on-1 will greatly test the scorer's ability.
Zhou Yi has already scored 29 points in the first half at the Bucks' home court; we can't let this kid score anymore.
The moment Ridnour double-teamed him, Zhou Yi chose to shoot, trusting his instincts tonight.
On the sidelines, the Clippers players watched nervously as the basketball arced through the air.
The basketball flew in a beautiful arc before falling into the basket.
"He hit a three-pointer, bringing Zhou's total to 32 points of the game."
"Yes!"
The moment the basketball flew into the hoop, Zhou Yi clenched his fist in a celebratory gesture.
On the sidelines of the Bucks court, Skiles helplessly rubbed his forehead.
Watching Zhou Yi forcefully sink a three-pointer under double-team, the head coach, who had played in the NBA for 20 years, had a bad feeling.
The game continued, and the Bucks continued to execute their double-team strategy.
However, Zhou Yi's touch was incredibly hot tonight, and the two players who were double-teaming him were practically useless against him.
35 points, 40 points, 46 points.
At the end of the third quarter, Zhou Yi scored 17 points in the quarter, bringing his total score to 46 points.
The Bucks and Clippers are now 11 points apart, and 30-year-old Reed is starting to feel the strain under the intense pressure.
Reed's final three-point attempt was an airball.
On the Clippers' bench, Zhou Yi looked at the bright red scoreboard above his head.
With four more points, I can get fifty points.
However, an 11-point deficit might lead the Bucks to surrender and forfeit the game.
After all, not everyone is willing to be just a background character.
On the sidelines, TV commentator Jim Parschke was sweating profusely with excitement and pulled a handkerchief from his pocket.
He has been a commentator for 38 years. He has met Jordan, Kobe, and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during his time with the Bucks.
He has seen countless geniuses showcase their talents on this field.
Today, Zhou Yi also impressed this seasoned commentator with his incredible scoring performance.
As Parschke was wiping away sweat, a TV station employee patted him on the shoulder and handed him a note.
Paschke took the note and opened it, then his pupils dilated and he froze on the spot.
「周易是1990年8月7日出生,今天他19岁零99天。」
"The youngest player in NBA history to score 50 points – LeBron James."
"Record age: 20 years and 80 days"
The words on the note made Parschke realize that he was witnessing a new record.
He cleared his throat and gripped the microphone tightly, his hand trembling.
"Four points left! Zhou could break the record and become the youngest player in NBA history to score 50 points."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a new chapter in history!"
