Rookies with 50+ points in a single game can't even get enough of them. The last time Liu Xiu scored 50+ points in a single game against the Grizzlies, there was no live broadcast in the United States. Whether you like him or hate him, it's actually a pity that you didn't see it.
of grand occasion.
The last time a rookie scored more than 50 points in a single game was Allen Iverson, and it dates back to the 1970s.
Whether you like it or not, you all want to see such a grand event with your own eyes so that you can brag to the fans who haven't seen the live broadcast.
For fans, showing off the classic games they have watched is one of the happiest things.
In North America alone, tens of millions of people witnessed this scene. In Liu Xiu's 58 minutes of playing time, Liu Xiu made 22 of 39 shots, including 6 of 11 three-pointers, plus 12 of 14 free throws, a surge of 62 points.
11 rebounds and 8 assists!
And led the team to beat Kobe's 58 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, defeating the Lakers and winning!
Tied McGrady’s single-game high of 62 points this season when he played against the Wizards in March!
He surpassed Chamberlain's record for the most points in a single game during his rookie season, and was also the first player in NBA history to score 60+ points in a single game during his rookie season!
The news from the sports channel of the TV station that night was transferred to online forums and portals, and to the newspapers and periodicals the next day...Liu Xiutu published it!
It doesn't matter how the media reported it before.
Now, first of all, let’s start with the title!
The rookie scored 62 points in a single game. Not to mention winning the game, the winner was Kobe who scored 58 points. Even if he lost, he would still be praised.
Rumor has it that Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak fainted when he heard the news.
A reporter called the Lakers for verification. The Lakers management staff denied the incident, then began to refuse to answer the reporter's calls, and finally seemed to have directly unplugged the phone line.
Kupchak is not the only news about the Lakers.
As for the competition itself, there are two topics that are also very popular.
Why didn't Malone and Payton play? Why did O'Neal rest the entire third quarter and then play the final quarter and the first overtime?
Why did Kobe vomit again?
Lakers players were also banned from interviews by the management and coaching staff.
Then the media and busybodies can only guess in the news or forums.
A post by a netizen claiming to be a doctor was the most lively in the ESPN-affiliated forum, and he was talking about Kobe Bryant vomiting.
He took screenshots of the last game where Kobe vomited and the game where he vomited this time, and compared them, as well as gifs and text descriptions.
Although Kobe played 58 minutes this time, his fatigue level was not as high as the last time they played against each other.
Because it was a real defensive confrontation, Liu Xiu and Kobe were hurting each other, and Kobe had to be responsible for the necessary supplementary defense and defense, which made him sick from exhaustion.
But this time, Kobe played for a longer time, and the consumption was actually smaller, and he didn't guard Kobe the whole time like that time. Jackson paid attention to this, and Jackson's physical distribution management has always been famous.
Therefore, the netizen who claimed to be a doctor came to the conclusion that Kobe vomited this time not because of fatigue, but because of stress reaction.
Not to mention that the layout of pictures and text posted by a doctor is so professional. Just the word "stress response", netizens feel professional when they see it!
News and topics about the Lakers are all about ridicule, fun, and even ridicule.
The Lakers have been so popular since the beginning of the new century. Last season, they finally failed to win a championship for a year, and then they immediately formed the Big Four. The news continues to be topical throughout the year. The key is that they are really strong!
Kobe and O'Neal have missed more than a dozen games, and Malone has missed nearly 40 games. They have still won 54 games, and they have won more games against strong teams than they have lost.
After all, they were used as the background, so everyone couldn't take a closer look at their excitement.
Barkley joked on the news program that a player who scored 58 points was laughed at so miserably...
…
Liu Xiu scored 62 points in a single game. In addition to the parties and backgrounds that became the focus, there were also some people who were targeted by reporters.
They want to hide, but they can't.
Anthony contributed to one of the more than 20.6 million paid viewings.
As one of the three best rookie candidates, he is naturally the focus of reporters' attention.
He said in an interview: "Me and him, I have always known that he is the more talented one. I think he may win this time, but we will see what happens in the future!"
When James, another Rookie of the Year candidate, was interviewed, he seemed to have prepared his words, but in the end he laughed bitterly and helplessly to hide his embarrassment.
The reporters who interviewed him also laughed along with him.
Yao Ming was also interviewed and boasted in a vindictive manner: "In my opinion, he is the greatest rookie in NBA history. I believe he will become the best player and surpass himself again and again..."
Interviews with these people have attracted a lot of attention and discussion.
The interviews of two other people also attracted much attention.
One is Tracy McGrady, who was previously the player with the highest score in a single game this season, but is now tied with Liu Xiu.
McGrady said in an interview: "I will not brush up points for the sake of a false reputation of having the highest score in a single game, and I will not try to overtake..."
The other one is McGrady's distant cousin Carter.
Carter said in an interview: "I have a very good relationship with Jayce, very good. He always stays at my house when he comes to Toronto. I am not talking about him, but I am telling the kids who want to enter the NBA in the future not to learn from him.
His style of play is incorrect..."
The cousins are both miserable now, and their comments are mainly ridiculed.
To be precise, the comments made by the shooting guards about this were mainly ridiculed...
Power forwards are different.
Nowitzki said in an interview: "He is the most talented rookie I have ever seen. His performance was so great. I recorded it and watched it several times..."
Although what he said did not receive much attention, when people discussed it, they mainly commented on it in a positive way.
Who makes the current NBA have so many power forwards with outstanding personal abilities and good team records that they can't even fit in the best lineup...
…
In addition to beating Kobe Bryant's 58 points with 62 points in a single game, this game brought about a very concerning and topical matter.
Liu Xiu’s scoring average.
Liu Xiu only averaged 16.8 points per game in February. In March, Liu Xiu averaged 24.5 points per game. At the end of March, his scoring average increased to 18.6 points per game.
At that time, people already thought it was crazy.
But at the end of March, almost no one felt that Liu Xiuneng continued to increase his scoring average too much, because there were 16 games in March, a lot of games, and he averaged 24.5 points per game, which was able to increase his scoring average by 1.8 points per game.
But there are only 9 games in April. If we want to increase the scoring average by 1.4 points per game to 20 points per game, it is difficult to say that it will be possible if Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and Iverson come in.
No, Liu Xiu averaged 33.5 points per game in the 4 games last week. Including the 20 points on April 2, he scored a total of 154 points. This only increased his average score from 18.6 points per game to 19.44 points. In the last 4 games, unless
Another average of 30+ per game, otherwise it would be impossible.
Judging from the situation where Liu Xiu has been defended more and more tightly in the past week, this is an impossible task.
As a result, Liu Xiu scored 62 points in a single game, which directly increased his scoring average by 0.57 points in one game.
What was originally said to be achieved by averaging 30 points per game in four games, Liu Xiu could do it in one game.
Averaged 20.01 points per game!
The third rookie averaging 20+ per game this season is released!
74 games, averaging 20 points, 8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.1 blocks per game!
In terms of competing for the best rookie, James and Anthony's last advantage in average data per game is gone now!
…
…
At the end of the regular season, there are popular games every day.
In the past, no matter how topical and exciting the game on the first day was, there would always be new hot topics about the game by the afternoon of the next day.
But there was none today. In the afternoon, Liu Xiu was still being discussed.
The league is not dissatisfied with this and is still increasing its efforts to promote Liu Xiu's performance in last night's game.
Liu Xiu's sneaker endorsement brand is also vigorously promoting it, spending a lot of money, and announced that this summer, the "Warden" series of boots will be launched.
Liu Xiu specifically called his person in charge to ask about the 'General Generation'. The other person was obviously perfunctory, saying that it was still under preparation, and then talked about the 'Warden Generation'.
Liu Xiu had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
Others give money, he is just the one who takes the money.
I can only watch the news to relieve the sadness caused by naming my signature shoes.
He had seen enough of the bragging alone in the morning. The media in both China and the United States were bragging.
Not only did we just watch, the domestic media and the American media each selected two to receive exclusive interviews. They were so busy that they were busy.
When he felt a little upset, he would look at his 'temporary ability evaluation' and 'ability evaluation' to calm down.
Now he no longer wants to read the flattering content.
