Chapter 647 Hitting the Percentage Record in a Single Game
Chapter 647 Hitting the single-game percentage record
"brush!"
Lao Wang made a penalty hit.
"8 out of 8 shots, 6 out of 6 free throws, old K has already scored 22 points." Su Qun said with a smile.
As soon as the ball was thrown out, Lao Wang had already turned around, not even looking to see if he made the free throw.
When he crossed the center line, Quentin Richardson and Nash, who were originally at the center line, had already entered the frontcourt.
Of course, Parker and Crawford were also chasing them.
At this time, Muhammad served from the baseline and Marion caught the ball in the backcourt. Nash immediately ran back, dropped Crawford, and stretched out his hands to Marion.
"Snapped!"
Zhu Fangyu quickly stepped in from the left and touched the ball at the moment Marion passed the ball, destroying the quick pass.
However, Marion regained control of the ball, but the fast break had no chance. It turned into a positional battle, and Nash ran back to the backcourt to catch the ball.
Lao Wang was in the penalty area. He was too intimidating and couldn't get in. The Knicks didn't have many offensive options. Quentin Richardson continued to move without the ball. Finally, he used a pick-and-roll to find a small opening in the right elbow area and caught the ball.
Jump shot immediately.
"Snapped!"
Lao Wang caught up one step, flew to block the shot, and fanned the ball toward the Suns' frontcourt.
Crawford chased with all his strength and got the ball before it went out of the baseline.
At this time, Nash and Marion had already returned to defense, and after Wang blocked the shot, he also started a quick descent from the right elbow area, and then rushed down from the top of the arc.
Crawford threw the ball over the penalty area, then started running towards the backcourt while looking at the penalty area.
"boom!"
Lao Wang jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and flew towards Marion who had just rushed to the basket.
Marion's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly stepped aside.
"boom!"
The next moment, the basket was exploded, and the ferocious force caused the basket frame to sway up and down.
Next, the Knicks failed to attack again, and Wang scored another goal. Before the end of the first quarter, Nash stepped forward and stabilized the Knicks' situation with a three-pointer. At 33:18, the Suns led by 15 points.
The first quarter of the game ended.
"Tiejun made 9 of 9 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. He played 10 minutes in the first quarter and scored 24 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks." Zhang Liji said.
Su Qun analyzed: "The Knicks averaged 111 points per game before, and averaged 32 points per game in the first quarter. Now they only scored 18 points, a little more than half. The offense was really poor today, and the run and gun tactics were not used at all.
.”
Zhang Liji said with a smile: "In the first quarter, there were only 4 low-post attacks by inside players, and none of them were successful. There were only 3 outside layups, two of which were fast breaks, and all of them were successful. One was a positional battle, and none of them was successful."
In other words, of the Knicks' 18 points, only 4 were scored in the low post, and they were not scored inside. The other points were scored from outside and Stoudemire's outside shots.
As for the Suns, the Tiejun's offense is all at the basket, with 100% offensive efficiency, which is why the Suns lead by 15 points in a single quarter."
Su Qun said with a smile: "And it's the result of the Knicks' stubborn control of the main force. If they dare to substitute substitutes, they will definitely lose more."
At the beginning of the second quarter, Lao Wang stood up from the bench.
After the Knicks saw this, D'Antoni quickly overturned his decision to substitute on the bench and continued to play the main force.
The Suns still had Wang and a bunch of substitutes playing for half a quarter. The Knicks wanted to use their main lineup to chase points, but they didn't succeed.
Lao Wang went against his previous habit and went all-out attack again in the second quarter. In the second minute, he beat Muhammad for three fouls, and his ferocious low attack made Stoudemire afraid to get close.
After half a quarter, he once again made 5 of 5 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 14 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, and once again made two blocks and a steal.
At 51:33, the Suns scored half a century in just one and a half quarters.
However, the Suns' defense was average in this half of the quarter, and the Knicks successfully used run-and-gun tactics and scored 15 points in the half.
D'Antoni wanted to win very much. This was his chance to prove himself, so he did not give up the game and continued to play the main force.
The Suns also changed their main force in the second half of the second quarter.
Ten minutes later, at the end of the second quarter, Lao Wang once again made a strong attack in the second half. He made 5 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 13 points. He scored 27 points in a single quarter and 19 of 19 shots in the half.
13 of 13 free throws, 51 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls, beating the Knicks.
The Knicks scored 14 points in the second half and 29 points in a single quarter.
At halftime, at 71:47, the Suns led by 24 points.
"The Suns scored 71 points at halftime. Did the Knicks defend?" Barkley wondered loudly.
"Obviously, not really." Kenny Smith immediately shook his head.
Barkley asked again: "How many points is D'Antoni prepared to let the Suns score on him today? 130 points? Or more?"
"Old K scored 51 points by himself. D'Antoni's running and gunning was originally sacrificing half-court defensive intensity to win more offensive rounds. How do you ask the Knicks to defend Old K?" Kenny Smith said with a smile.
"Haha..." Buckley laughed.
During halftime, many Knicks fans took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and never returned. By the time the third quarter began, Madison Square Garden was already one-third empty.
"Old K, continue to annihilate the Knicks in the second half."
After entering the locker room, Colangelo shouted excitedly.
"as you wish."
Lao Wang drank a glass of energy drink and took out two bananas from the closet to replenish his energy.
"Old K consumed too much energy in the first half. I bet he wouldn't have played like that in the second half, so here's our chance to chase points."
The Knicks did not give up, and D'Antoni had no reason to give up the game. Today he gave up, which proves that he lost, not the game, but the concept he insisted on.
His persistence paid off, and the Knicks' offense played better in the third quarter.
The Suns are basically a reorganized team. Although they have 8 wins and 1 loss in the past, they are still in the process of running in. Moreover, Zhu Fangyu and Josh Howard are only in their second year, and the defensive abilities of Kenyon Martin and Williams are only average.
The defensive foundation of the main lineup is not very good, and it is all supported by Lao Wang's defense.
Although Lao Wang has his own defensive system, he played too fiercely in the first half and could no longer provide strong defensive energy in the second half. Therefore, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Suns' defensive intensity was not as strong as in the first half.
Under the Knicks' run and gun, there are holes everywhere.
However, although Lao Wang languished on the defensive end, he did not languish on the offensive end. He put all his energy on the offensive end, fully demonstrating his strong physical advantages. With his incredibly powerful offensive ability, he still beat the Knicks.
Bag.
It's just that his offensive quality began to decline along with his physical fitness, reducing his offense at the basket and increasing some mid-range attacks.
After the third quarter, he made 9 of 11 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 22 points.
At 93:79, the Suns only led by 14 points, and the Knicks recovered 10 points in a single quarter.
Su Qun said excitedly: "In three quarters and 34 minutes, I made 28 of 30 shots, 17 of 17 free throws, 73 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. Old K went crazy today!"
Zhang Lili was excited but also regretful: "If there had been no overtime, it would have been difficult for the Iron Army to break Chamberlain's single-game 100-point record today.
In that game that year, the Warriors played the Knicks at home. Chamberlain scored 69 points in the first three quarters. In the final three overtimes, he made a total of 36 of 63 shots, a field goal percentage of 57.14%, and 28 of 32 free throws. Normally, his free throw shooting is very poor.
But the state was really great that day, and he scored 100 points on the Knicks."
Su Qun looked forward to it and said: "If Old K can score 100 points on the Knicks today, and this is Madison Square Garden, then the Knicks will look ugly."
"Haha, unless the Knicks try their best to tie the score in the last quarter and play overtime." Zhang Lili laughed.
Lao Wang was sitting on the bench, and Kenyon Martin next to him suddenly pointed to the Knicks and said: "Old K, look."
Lao Wang looked over and saw Nash lying on the floor. A staff member was fanning him with a towel, and a masseur from the K-era Club was massaging his calves.
"Haha, are you so tired that you're going to have cramps?" Zhu Fangyu shouted with a smile.
"His physical fitness is mediocre to begin with. He averages just over thirty minutes per game at most, and he has to lie down for a few more minutes. D'Antoni fucks him, and now he averages 36 minutes per game. He has been like this from the beginning of this season.
, just lie down and rest when you get the chance," assistant coach Scott Skiles said.
"Nash didn't take much rest in the three quarters today. He has played 36 minutes. If he hadn't been able to rest for 15 minutes in the middle, his physical fitness would have collapsed." Assistant coach Frank Johnson said.
"Ignore him, this is the outcome he hopes for."
Scott Skiles turned around and said to Lao Wang excitedly: "Old K, you scored 73 points in three quarters, do you still have the physical strength to explode again in the last quarter?"
Lao Wang drank the remaining half glass of energy water in one gulp, felt it for a while and said: "I was quite excited to play today, it's not bad."
"That's good, even if I can't break Chamberlain's record, I still have to break his second single-game scoring record in history." Scott Skiles said.
"He scored 78 points, and he also scored 73 points twice. He has already tied the record of 73 points. If he scores another 6 points, he will be second in history." Frank Johnson said excitedly.
Xiao Fan was also very excited, waved his hand and said: "As long as you can still fight, others will try their best to supply you with ammunition."
"good."
"Old K, it's up to you."
Others responded excitedly.
At this time, the final quarter begins, and the referee blows the whistle to signal the players to come on.
Sun attack.
The Knicks' main center Muhammad has committed 5 fouls and has not come up. Substitute forward Maurice Taylor and Lao Wang faced off.
White Chocolate didn't break through anymore. He was a little tired. When he saw Lao Wang asking for the ball in the low post on the left wing, he stopped playing and lobbed the ball in.
Lao Wang caught the ball and stood up to make a hook. Taylor was shaken up immediately, and then he immediately lowered his body, broke through from the left side to the baseline, and hit the basket with a dunk.
Stoudemire returned to the basket from the weak side, stretched out in response to the story, and completed his defense.
The defense was perfunctory, but the offense was very dedicated. After catching the ball, he immediately retreated to the baseline, moved two quick steps to the right, avoided Lao Wang, and then passed the ball to Nash who was coming down the baseline to meet.
The three Marion players were almost in the frontcourt. Nash made a long pass to Alan Houston. The latter stopped at the three-point line on the right wing. Josh Howard, who was chasing him, rushed over. Then he jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
"boom!"
Although there was a small gap, he still missed.
Alan Houston shook his head helplessly. He had played for 30 minutes today, and his physical fitness was running low. Moreover, the injuries on his body were aching, which also affected his shots.
Zhu Fangyu rushed in and grabbed the rebound, and the Suns attacked.
"It's 75 points."
Barkley looked at Old K's scoring record and shook his head. It was still impossible to break 100 within 48 minutes.
Three minutes later, as Wang made two free throws, the Suns bench cheered. With 79 points, he had broken Chamberlain's record for the second-highest score in a single game in history.
After half a quarter, 108:91, the Suns led by 17 points.
D'Antoni called the second long timeout of the quarter to buy Nash some rest time because Nash's leg was cramping.
"Ten points in the half quarter, now 83 points, 17 points away from breaking 100, and 18 points away from breaking Chamberlain's record. It seems really difficult to break!" Su Qun shook his head and sighed.
"The Knicks didn't give up. D'Antoni probably saw that the Iron Army couldn't break 100 points, so he wanted to keep playing," Zhang Liang said.
Su Qun sighed: "Probably so. Second place actually doesn't mean much, first place is more significant, or it may break a hundred."
Zhang Liyi nodded and agreed with this. Secondly, it really doesn't mean much, especially to the Knicks. Even if it doesn't break Chamberlain's record, breaking 100 years is meaningless.
I didn’t feel anything at all the second time.
D'Antoni actually thought what the two said. Anyway, Chamberlain scored 100 points on the Knicks. Even if he scored another 100 points today, it would be nothing more than that, so he fought hard and refused to surrender.
, fight to the end, and lose a little less.
Now he no longer wants to win, he just wants to lose less. If the point difference can be reduced to single digits, he will be confident of defeating the Suns in the future.
He absolutely does not believe that old K can perform such a terrifying performance every night. It is absolutely impossible, so he must fight!
After the timeout, Lao Wang, who had replenished two glasses of energy water, came on the stage in high spirits.
Today's physical condition is particularly good, and he still feels like a dragon and a tiger. In 6 minutes, he decided to give it another shot, hitting 90+ which was a great feeling.
I 100% never thought about it because I don’t have time.
"boom!"
Marion missed a jump shot, Wang got a backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
Lao Wang caught the ball under the basket and hooked near the basket. Knicks substitute forward Taylor fouled and the ball hit the basket and then fell into the basket.
"Two plus one, beautiful!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.
"brush!"
Lao Wang stood on the free throw line, dribbled, hooked, and the ball went through the basket.
"86 points, come on, old K!" Barkley shouted.
"brush!"
Nash turned around and threw a three-pointer, and the Suns attacked.
The others did not attack, only passed the ball, and were responsible for stretching the defense. Lao Wang attacked the basket again and let him play alone.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
Immediately after catching the ball, he made a back arch that was neither light nor heavy, bumping Taylor behind him, then turned around and dunked, and Stoudemire's thug who came in to double-team fouled.
Xiaosi waved his hand regretfully, he shouldn't have stretched out his hand randomly.
"Thanks, Amare."
Lao Wang smiled and patted Stoudemire on the head. With Stoudemire looking helplessly, he walked towards the free throw line.
"Haha, is Stoudemire giving away points?" Barkley laughed.
"brush!"
Hook shot, extra penalty hit.
"The score is 89!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.
"114:94, the Suns lead by 20 points, and there are still 5 minutes left. If we keep playing like this, focus all our shots, and attack alone, the Tiejun really have hope. D'Antoni still doesn't give up, he really wants to see the Tiejun
A hundred points?" Zhang Lili said excitedly.
Su Qun shook his head and said: "It's useless for the Knicks to give up now. Old K will definitely continue to fight. The Knicks can only carry on."
"That's right." Zhang Lili smiled and nodded.
The Knicks attacked and Stoudemire hit a mid-range shot. This attack took 8.5 seconds.
When the Suns attacked, White Chocolate felt that he had to play harder and show his strength so that the Suns would be willing to give him a big contract next year. So when he saw that Old K did not enter the paint this time, he immediately rushed out with the ball.
Got in.
He reached the basket, was blocked by Taylor, and immediately pulled to the right, but his ball had already flown to the left side of the basket, into the hands of Wang Tiejun behind Taylor.
The next moment, Lao Wang burst out from behind Taylor.
"boom!"
"Beep!"
The sound of basket smashing and whistle sounded at the same time.
"Oh ho!"
The Suns bench cheered.
"Two plus one in a row, what a great job!" Barkley roared excitedly.
"Now it's 91 points. As long as the free throws are made, it will be 92 points. There is still time." Kenny Smith said excitedly.
"brush!"
Lao Wang made another free throw.
"92 points!" Su Qun shouted loudly.
At this time, on the hanging screen in Madison Square Garden, Lao Wang's personal score for this game was displayed, a huge number of 92, which made the remaining Knicks fans feel very dazzling.
"Shh!"
Some fans finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then countless fans began to boo.
"Is this a boo?" Su Qun asked in surprise.
"Knicks fans have this habit. If the home team doesn't perform well, they won't give them face. Ewing, O'Neal, and even Jordan have all been booed here." Zhang Lili said.
In the TNT commentary box, Barkley was pressing the headset, with a look of shock on his face.
"What?" Kenny Smith asked.
Putting down his hand, Buckley's face surged with endless excitement, and he said in a shuddering voice: "You know, Kenny, our ratings are sky-high, sky-high!"
"How much?" Kenny Smith asked quickly.
"It was only 35 million after the third quarter, and now it's 55 million, 55 million, and it's still soaring!" Barkley's face turned red with excitement.
When Kenny Smith heard this, he felt that the adrenaline in his body suddenly surged to the top, and his scalp was numb.
"Are we going to break the record tonight?" he asked tremblingly.
"Five, fifty-eight million?"
At this time, Buckley pressed the headset again, and the director told him that in less than half a minute, the ratings had increased by another three million.
