Chapter 412 101 points in a single game + 38 points in a single quarter
Eddie Jones advanced to the frontcourt. There was no defender in front of him. He was a little distracted and observed Zhao Dong's position from time to time.
At this moment, Kobe suddenly rushed over and completed the steal.
Fortunately, Zhao Dong reacted quickly, before Kobe rushed in, he stood in front of the opponent, and the Lakers turned into a positional battle.
Kobe pushed forward with the ball, Zhao Dong retreated and defended in front, and did not make a close-up press action.
But at the moment when Kobe pushed across the center line and the ball dribbled to the floor, Zhao Dong suddenly strode forward and poked the ball.
Kobe believed that there was still a lot of time, the Blazers still had time to attack, and Zhao Dong didn't make a decisive move, so he was not mentally prepared, and he didn't react, and the ball was stabbed away.
Zhao Dong took advantage of the trend and rushed forward, using his tonnage and strength to squeeze Kobe away to get the ball, and entered the frontcourt with the ball.
Kobe, with red eyes, chased after him, trying to catch up with Zhao Dong.
He did it, one step outside the three-point line on the left wing, and he tied Zhao Dong.
In the next moment, regardless of the danger of being knocked into the air, he will force Zhao Dong to the sideline with his body.
"squeak!"
But at this moment, the sharp rubbing sound of sneakers sounded, Zhao Dong stopped suddenly and braked, but he was unprepared and rushed over.
When Kobe rushed over, Zhao Dong calmly got up with the ball and made a three-pointer.
At this moment, the eyes of countless fans all over the world were fixed on Zhao Dong and the ball he threw.
The orange basketball slid in the air and flew towards the basket along a beautiful arc.
Crack, Zhao Dong landed on the ground, and the next moment, before the basket entered the basket, he suddenly turned around, and made an OK gesture with his right hand that had not been put down.
"Shh!"
At the moment when the OK gesture was shown, there was an incomparably beautiful sound of washing baskets at the Staples Center. That clean and neat sound, like a tube of stimulant, instantly exploded the hearts of countless people.
"yeah!"
With a bang, the moment the ball was scored, the audience stood up, raised their arms and shouted wildly, cheering and shouting like a volcanic eruption, and the Staples Center fell into a complete boil.
"Hit it! Hit it! Zhao Dong hit a three-pointer! With 101 points, he broke Chamberlain's scoring record in a single game..."
At the moment the ball was scored, Su Qun's almost crazy roar sounded.
"A new history was born! With 101 points, Flying Dragon broke Chamberlain's record for highest scoring in a single game. He is the real No.1 in history! He is the true basketball god!"
Barkley roared excitedly.
"With 101 points in a single game and 38 points in a single quarter, Feilong has continuously set a new record for the first in a single game and a single quarter in history. He is a well-deserved god of basketball."
Smith growled excitedly.
"Oh, oh, look, what are the fans doing? They are bowing their heads to the flying dragon to pay tribute to the king. They are paying tribute to an invincible king..."
At this moment, Barkley suddenly shouted loudly.
It turned out that in the Staples Center at this time, many excited fans raised their hands to Zhao Dong, and then bowed deeply.
And with their tribute, more and more Lakers fans joined them.
"It's unbelievable. Zhao Dong received such treatment in the away game. Only a true king is qualified to have it."
Zhang Lili, with red eyes, said excitedly.
On the court, Zhao Dong waved his hands back to the fans.
At this time, he was of course very excited. He could break the [-]-point record. At the end of halftime, he never thought about it.
For the item of breaking a hundred in the system task, his rule is to fight against a weak team. He never thought of breaking a hundred against a super strong team like the Lakers.
The strength of the Lakers, to be honest, the main lineup is stronger than the Blazers, only the bench lineup is weaker, it is difficult to beat the Lakers, even more impossible to break a hundred.
However, today Kobe was very cooperative, always fighting him one-on-one, and Phil Jackson was also very cooperative. In the first three quarters, he rarely double-teamed him. Whether it was shooting percentage or physical energy consumption, they all guaranteed the need to break hundreds.
Just like Chamberlain's game back then, Dashuai Zhang, who was not good at free throws, actually hit a super high percentage of free throws.
Next, Larry Bird arranged a foul and gave Zhao Dong a chance to end alone, which again ushered in the cheers of the Lakers fans.
The score at this time was 132:108, and the Blazers led by 24 points.
"Congratulations, Dragon."
"Thank you!"
At the end of the court, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson sent their own congratulations, but this congratulation made them very heartbroken, and they were reluctant to send it, with wry smiles on their faces.
After Zhao Dong celebrated with his teammates again, he sat back on the bench, and Larry Bird handed over his data sheet with a smile.
He made 49 of 35 shots and a 71.4% hit rate, which exceeded his previous hit rate.
Among them, 13 of 10 three-pointers were shot, and the shooting percentage was as high as 76.9%, which actually exceeded his overall shooting percentage, which means that it exceeded his two-point shooting percentage. This kind of almost impossible thing was actually taken by him today After it's done, it's really a matter of days to be able to break through [-].
Especially 6 minutes after the last quarter, he made seven of seven shots, made all five three-pointers, and made all three free throws.
The final 22 free throws were 21, and the shooting percentage was 95.4%, which also exceeded the normal performance.
At the last minute of the game, the Blazers did not defend anymore, allowing the Lakers to hit two goals. The game ended, 132:114, a big victory of 18 points.
No one paid attention to this score. Everyone talked about Zhao Dong's 101.
On December 2000, 12, the Trail Blazers played away against the Lakers. Zhao Dong scored 13 points in a single game, which became the most eternal game in NBA history.
At this time, the ones who regret the most are Lakers owner Buss and general manager Jerry West.
"I really regret it. We should have persisted. He didn't reject us at that time." Old Buss said regretfully.
"Sorry, Jerry, I was in a hurry!" sighed Jerry West.
He has missed Zhao Dong for the second time in a row. The first time he did not initiate a deal with Zhao Dong because of Kobe, and the second time because of Zhao Dong's intentional delay, he was eager to strengthen and failed to persist.
Now he knows, maybe he will never have the chance to let that dragon come to the Lakers.
Like them, at this time in New York, the Blazers owner Paul Allen is also regretting that he did not go to Los Angeles, and he missed the greatest game in the history of the Blazers.
After the game, Zhao Dong accepted an on-site interview.
"Feilong, just now, Mrs. Lindsay announced that on your behalf, she will donate 500 million U.S. dollars to the Association for the Protection of the Disabled."
At the beginning of the interview, a reporter said.
Zhao Dong was taken aback, and said with a smile: "My wife's choice is very good. The disabled are a vulnerable group that we need to care about."
After staying at the scene for half an hour, he got rid of the media and fans and returned to the locker room.
General Manager Wester accompanied him all the way, and said with great regret: "Sorry, Feilong, I'm really sorry, this is a day worth celebrating, but I didn't prepare champagne."
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Then let's go back to Portland and celebrate."
"Of course." Wester excitedly said.
Before returning to Portland, when Zhao Dong and the team returned to the hotel, Wester had already prepared the celebration ceremony in advance and prepared a lot of champagne.
"101 points in a single game, the god of basketball is looking down on all beings!" The New York Times used Jordan's words as a headline.
"The real ruler, the god of basketball, is conquering the NBA league!" The Washington Post.
The next day, when Zhao Dong was still sleeping in bed, the media all over the world were reporting his match last night.
This day is the day when he truly became the God of Basketball, and all the media put the title of God of Basketball in front of his name.
After waking up, he checked his cell phone. From the United States to China, almost everyone he knew sent him a congratulatory text message.
Back in Portland, from the airport to the city center, there were fans vehicles welcoming the team, and the sound of horns never stopped.
When they arrived at the headquarters, owner Paul Allen had already rushed back from New York, personally arranged a very grand celebration ceremony for Zhao Dong, and invited hundreds of senior Blazers fans to participate.
After returning home from the celebration, it was almost evening. Lindsay also arranged for him to celebrate, and personally made a chocolate cake for him.
Next, the Blazers' schedule continues.
And the impact of that game continues and deepens.
In the world of basketball and sports, Zhao Dong is being deified.
The Blazers have become a hot topic for winning the championship. ESPN's probability of winning the championship is ranked first, and the Blazers rank first, with a probability of winning as high as 75%.
The Lakers slipped from first to third, still lower than the Nets, with only a 35% chance of winning.
The morale of the Lakers was hit, and the conflict between Kobe and his teammates was getting bigger and bigger, which affected the stability of the locker room.
Of course, the record of the Lakers has not been affected, because the strength of the Big Three is too strong. Even if there are conflicts in the team and performance fluctuates, it is not something that ordinary teams can defeat.
On the 25th, in the Christmas game, the Blazers ushered in the Lakers at home.
This is the third regular-season game for the two teams, with one more to follow.
The Lakers lost two games in a row, and were scored 101 points by Zhao Dong. This game is determined to revenge, and the morale of the whole team is very high.
No, it could be said to be full of murderous intent, every player's eyes were red, especially when they saw Zhao Dong, they wanted to pounce on them and take a few bites.
The management is very nervous. If they lose this game, the Lakers may collapse.
Now the Lakers are under too much pressure. Such a luxurious lineup can't beat the Blazers. What's the point of existence?
In particular, the three giants are under the greatest pressure.
Under such tremendous pressure, the Lakers' locker room united instead.
The Blazers have played so far, with 28 wins and 27 loss in the first 1 games, and only lost one game to the Nets. Of course, they don't want to lose to the Lakers.
But in this game, the Lakers played too hard and made enough preparations.
The two super centers always occupy the paint on both ends of the offense and defense. The Blazers can't defend, and it is very difficult for Zhao Dong to break through on the offensive end, because the paint is full of people, and their efficiency is not as good as the two super centers.
Compared with the last game, Kobe has improved. He no longer singled out Zhao Dong, but used his restraint to open the defense for O'Neill and Robinson.
At the same time, Phil Jackson also arranged to double-team Zhao Dong, reducing his efficiency.
Under various arrangements, the Lakers beat the Blazers on both offense and defense.
Although the Blazers used a strong bench lineup to recover some disadvantages, the main lineup was overwhelmed and eventually lost the game.
After winning the game, the Lakers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only the players breathed a sigh of relief, the Big Three breathed a sigh of relief, the management and coaching staff also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Lakers fans also breathed a sigh of relief.
If they lose to Zhao Dong's Blazers again this season, with the Lakers' current super luxurious lineup, it is likely to collapse.
It's not that the Lakers' operating income cannot be maintained, but that such a strong lineup is not enough, then everyone's persistence will be meaningless, and some people will definitely choose to leave.
This victory also made the media's evaluation of the Lakers pick up.
But ESPN still hasn't adjusted the Lakers' chances of winning. The reason they announced is that the Trail Blazers and Nets are still the two best-performing teams, and the Lakers still need to continue to prove themselves.
With 27 wins and 2 losses, the Blazers are still number one in the league.
On the 26th, the Blazers flew to Salt Lake City where the Jazz are located.
The Jazz rebuilt last year and has good potential. The absolute youth army has been training for a year, and now its strength has begun to emerge in the West.
Since the new season, 19 wins and 10 losses, sixth in the West.
In this game, the Blazers accidentally missed and fell under the youth army.
Zhao Dong still scored 40+ very steadily and grabbed 15 rebounds, but only received 5 assists.
The teammates' touches are all in Portland, but they didn't bring them.
Among the second scoring points, Eddie Jones made 18 of 4 shots and only scored 13 points with free throws.
Marion's performance in the new season has improved, but he performed poorly in this game, scoring 14 points on 4 of 9 shots.
The same goes for the others. The team's shooting rate is only 43%. This is because of Zhao Dong's high efficiency. Except for his shots, the others' shooting rate is only 31%, while the Jazz is 47%. It's no wonder if they don't lose, unless Zhao Dong Dong played a performance of breaking a hundred.
The Blazers achieved their first losing streak in the new season, with 27 wins and 3 losses, and their first position in the league is still unshakable.
Time came to the end of 2000.
At this time, some news broke out in the Lakers locker room, and the relationship between Kobe and his teammates became more tense.
Some media even broke the news that Kobe and O'Neal had a quarrel in the locker room.
There are many reasons. For Kobe, the various conflicts with his teammates brought about by his personality, from training attitude, to the distribution of the ball on the field, the distribution of shots, etc., and even his marriage.
The things about his girlfriend and marriage made his relationship with everyone worse, which made his psychology very bad, and his communication with his teammates became less, which increased the locker room. variable.
Kobe in this life is stronger than the previous life, and he has higher requirements for his teammates. At the same time, the Lakers did not win the championship like the previous life. The Lakers locker room is under tremendous pressure, especially the core of the team O'Neal. The pressure is huge. With a strong attitude, he also had a mental breakdown.
Victory is a good medicine for relieving stress, and a championship is a magic medicine for resolving conflicts. The Lakers management has realized that if they fail to win the championship this season, this super luxurious team is likely to collapse due to various internal conflicts.
The same was true for the Bulls back then. Under the tremendous pressure of the Knicks and Zhao Dong, they were unable to win the championship, which eventually led to Jordan's second retirement, the team rebuilt, and now it's the Lakers' turn.
Zhao Dong is well aware of the difficulties the Lakers are facing now, which is more troublesome than Jordan's Bulls.
Jordan's character is more domineering than Kobe's, and he has absolute control over the locker room. As long as he is there, the Bulls' locker room will have no major problems.
But the Lakers boss O'Neal is not the authority of the locker room and cannot really control the locker room.
In addition, Kobe is too young, coupled with personality problems, and now he has become a bomb in the Lakers locker room.
On January 2001, 1, the league announced the player of the month honors for the previous month.
There are rumors in the world that the league will implement the best of the month system in the east and west next season, so the honor of the best player of the month this season is particularly precious, because the best of the month will be watered down in the future.
Although the league no longer wants to give Zhao Dong this honor, he still won this honor with his incredible 40+ triple-double performance and the league's first record.
At the same time, he also continued to maintain the number one position in the official MVP rankings.
In fact, the league doesn’t want to give him this ranking anymore, it’s nothing new, but there’s nothing he can do about it. His performance is too strong. This season is a real explosion, with an average of 46.5 minutes per game. He didn’t have a truce. Fans will not agree.
