In the last section, Zhang Zhiyuan came up with a sarcastic comment.
He had just rested off the court for a long time, and he didn't even sweat now. On the other hand, Garnett and others were like carrying several bags of cement.
Pierce knew it was trash talk, but he still felt a little depressed after hearing it.
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers attacked first. Zhang Zhiyuan threw a long three-pointer and missed.
In the next round, he continued to shoot two or three steps away from the three-point line.
I don’t know if it’s because my hand feels cold, or if it’s a normal probability event, but I haven’t entered yet this time.
Pierce's eyes lit up. If Zhang Zhiyuan made a few more strikes, they would have hope of a comeback.
"Zhang's choice seems a bit inappropriate."
Smith commented.
When you are leading, there is no need to throw this kind of ultra-long three-pointer that depends on the touch. It is to give the opponent a chance.
"He only has a chance to take action in this position. If he gets closer to the basket, the Celtics will be double-teamed."
Buckley analyzed.
It's not just them who don't understand, in fact most people don't understand Zhang Zhiyuan's choice.
But Zhang Zhiyuan didn't care. In the third offensive round, he still shot a three-pointer.
The ball didn't go in.
Celtic counterattacked and scored again.
74 to 78, the point difference narrowed to 4 points.
"What are you doing?"
Kobe said angrily.
"Why panic? We are still ahead."
Zhang Zhiyuan said disdainfully.
This kind of words and this tone make it seem like Kobe has never seen big winds and waves.
Kobe gritted his teeth and endured it.
The Lakers attacked and Zhang Zhiyuan made his fourth three-point shot.
"It's too much, too willful."
Buckley said with envy.
If it were him, he would definitely not dare to fight like this.
"Xiao Zhang really dares to take action, even though it's a little bit inconsistent... it's beautiful."
Before Zhang Lili could finish his words, the ball was scored.
Zhang Lili's 90-degree turn showed off the fans' faces.
Ever since, there is a new word "not pretty" in the mouth of Chinese fans, which is used to describe a person who speaks quickly and turns around.
On the court, after Zhang Zhiyuan hit a 3-pointer, the score became 74 to 81.
Celtic's counterattack failed.
Turning around, Zhang Zhiyuan was double-teamed by Garnett and Pierce.
He could no longer see his teammates in his sight. In desperation, he could only take off and throw the ball towards the basket.
Aiming and adjusting posture are not conditions at all.
However, the cumulative hit rate superposition played a key role, the basketball trajectory was corrected, and the ball went in.
74 to 84.
At this moment, the coaches and fans watching the live broadcast felt the charm of the three-pointer.
It's frustrating when you're not accurate, but when you're accurate, it's very frustrating for your opponent.
Fortunately, the Celtics made two hard-fought shots. As a result, not only did they not narrow the point difference, but they actually widened it.
"That's it? That's it?"
Zhang Zhiyuan got up after falling to the ground, came to the sidelines, made a "that's it" gesture to the audience, and sent a soul torture to the Celtics.
"Cover him, don't let him vote."
At the same time, Garnett was still complaining loudly about Pierce.
The two teams formed a sharp contrast. Who is better and who is worse? There is no need to even look at the score.
The Celtics attacked, and Ray Allen scored through an empty cut.
76 to 84.
During the transition between offense and defense, Pierce hit Zhang Zhiyuan before halftime passed.
Zhang Zhiyuan received the ball and started the breakthrough. Pierce was too close to guard and Zhang Zhiyuan broke through.
Garnett made up for it and Pierce was chasing behind him. In this case, the difficulty of shooting was almost the same as before. Zhang Zhiyuan did not continue to gamble on luck. He threw the ball. The ball went to Fisher and then to Odom.
Dom scored.
"I'm not interested in scoring. I'm happiest when assisting my teammates."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
This trash talk is not very clever, but Garnett and others were still extremely unhappy after hearing it.
They knew Zhang Zhiyuan was showing off, but they just couldn't do anything about him.
Zhang Zhiyuan said he was not interested in scoring, but many Lakers fans still secretly said it was a pity. They still want to see Zhang Zhiyuan refresh his personal scoring record. At present, there is little hope.
Zhang Zhiyuan currently scores 40 and needs 14 more points to refresh the record.
14 points is not much, but the Celtics defended Zhang Zhiyuan too hard.
The Celtics attacked. Although they were 10 points behind, their pace was still unhurried, which made Lakers fans very anxious.
The basketball passed between their hands several times, and finally Pierce made a pull-up jumper.
The ball goes in.
78 to 86.
It was the Lakers' turn. Zhang Zhiyuan was pestered by Pierce. Kobe took the initiative to ask for the ball in singles and scored.
78 to 88.
"Why doesn't Kobe understand the beauty of adulthood?"
Sun Zhengping complained.
"There is no other way. If you deliberately help Zhang Zhiyuan break the record, the Celtics will easily catch him. As long as you can win, let the record take its course."
Zhang Lili said.
The Celtics attacked, Rondo patted the basketball on the outside, looking for a suitable passing object.
Zhang Zhiyuan was also observing, and finally he guessed that Rondo might pass it to Pierce.
Then, he went from behind Pierce to the side, Rondo passed the ball, and Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly accelerated and ran out, intercepted the ball, and counterattacked.
All this happened so fast that before Pierce could react, Zhang Zhiyuan was already several steps away from him.
Pierce chased after him, but it looked more like a showmanship.
Zhang Zhiyuan ran to the three-point line, took off, and shot.
"He is a cruel person."
Barkley complained.
I don’t want a steady two points, but insist on three points. It’s really cruel.
The ball was scored, and the crowd burst into cheers.
However, the referee signaled Zhang Zhiyuan to step on the line. This was a two-point ball.
"Fake."
Zhang Zhiyuan looked annoyed.
No one knows whether he is really upset or just pretending.
In short, the Celtics players and fans were really angry when they saw him like this.
78 to 90, the game continues.
Ray Allen scored two points on an air cut, and the Lakers counterattacked. Bynum caused a foul on Perkins under the basket and made one of two free throws.
Afterwards, the two sides played each other for several rounds, and the Celtics were unable to narrow the point difference.
With 3 minutes left in the game, the score was 86 to 99.
The Celtics had completely lost hope. Pierce was a little discouraged and was not focused enough when returning to defense. Then Zhang Zhiyuan threw away the ball and shot.
The ball was scored and 3 points were obtained. Zhang Zhiyuan's personal score reached 45.
Others think there is no chance for him to break the record, but he himself has not given up yet.
Is it difficult to score 9 points in 3 minutes?
Zhang Zhiyuan raised his hands and made a "nine" sign to the audience. The audience understood it instantly and cheered.
This is telling them that he wants to break the record.
"Empire's domineering spirit."
The Japanese commentator yelled.
"It's terrible. It would be terrible if our national team met Zhang Zhiyuan in the 2008 Olympics."
The guest said.
"Yamada-kun is too worried. We won't be able to enter the qualifying round and we won't be able to catch up."
The commentator said sadly and angrily.
Several Chinese students studying in Japan almost died from laughter when they heard this.
After laughing, I feel more satisfied and proud.
On the court.
The Celtics attacked, and Pierce singled out Zhang Zhiyuan angrily, making a shoulder-bumping move.
Zhang Zhiyuan fell to the ground and the referee called an offensive foul.
"My nanny..."
Pierce held back his curse midway. He was too tired and had no energy to curse anymore.
"So smart, so calm, and he played so well."
Sun Zhengping said with emotion.
If a player that everyone hates does this, others will just call him despicable, shameless, and movie king.
However, in the eyes of people who like Zhang Zhiyuan, Zhang Zhiyuan's falling to the ground is smart and intelligent.
The Lakers attacked, and this time Pierce defended very seriously. But guarding carefully does not mean that he can defend. Zhang Zhiyuan scored again.
He took completely unreasonable shots and scored unreasonably. Pierce had no temper at all and could only vent his anger towards the basketball.
Pierce slammed the basketball in his hand on the ground. The basketball bounced up and hit Pierce in the face.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately put on a yellow question mark face and looked at Pierce with a puzzled expression.
This scene almost sent the fans away, it was so funny.
"Hahaha... Oh, buddy, please don't do this. It's just a loss. There's no need to hurt yourself."
Buckley laughed.
"Stop talking about Charles, Paul is already very pitiful, and it makes me feel bad to see him."
Smith sighed.
It can't be said that Pierce's defense was not good in this game. He worked very hard, but he just couldn't defend. This is really worthy of sympathy.
On the court, Garnett started his performance. He roared to encourage his teammates, showing his spirit of not admitting defeat, even though the game was already lost.
The Celtics attacked and Garnett scored a mid-range jumper.
With such an excellent opportunity, Garnett naturally would not give up and roared again.
88 to 101.
When the Lakers attacked, Garnett had completely abandoned Odom and followed Zhang Zhiyuan.
Fisher passed the ball, the intention was too obvious, Garnett was waiting.
Then Garnett stole the ball and scored again on a fast break.
90 to 101.
Garnett hammered his chest hard, and those who didn't know thought they had overtaken the score.
Celtics fans were also moved by Garnett's unyielding spirit and screamed. Some fans even thought they saw hope.
The Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan reached for the ball before halftime.
Fisher passed the ball, Zhang Zhiyuan patted it twice, adjusted his shooting posture, and then threw the ball very elegantly.
"Wortfalk?"
Barkley started swearing. Zhang Zhiyuan’s choice was too damn excessive. No one would play like this.
"hiss......"
Smith.
After the basketball was released, Zhang Zhiyuan quickly made an action of drawing a gun and shooting (a cowboy duel action in American western movies).
The ball goes in.
Zhang Zhiyuan put his left hand on his hips, placed his left heel on his right foot, and then made a smoke-blowing motion.
"oh............."
Smith stood up suddenly and opened his mouth.
"hiss........"
The Japanese commentator rolled his eyes and held his head in his hands...
"Fuck...cow..."
Zhang Lili.
"ah......."
Some fans at the scene jumped up and made all kinds of crazy moves to express their excitement.
One fan shook his girlfriend crazily, another fan fell directly onto the audience in the front row, and a 300-pound fat man got so excited that he fell to the ground.
A female fan took off her shirt and waved it, and a fan jumped over the security guard and rushed to the court...
A female fan shouted: "Give it to me, give it to me."
The game had to be suspended.
In front of the TV, a wealthy Celtic fan smashed the TV, and a fan of Zhang Zhiyuan lit a car on fire to celebrate...
The fat man who fell to the ground was carried out, and the fans who rushed to the field were carried out. The undressed female fan was left alone, and the game continued.
At this time, the score was 90 to 104, and Zhang Zhiyuan personally scored 51.
The Garnetts and others stared at Zhang Zhiyuan fiercely, wanting to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
Kobe also rebelled and shared the same hatred as the Garnetts.
He was worried that Zhang Zhiyuan's position as the boss would be in jeopardy if he showed up to such high-profile moments a few more times.
The Celtics attacked and Ray Allen scored two points.
During the transition between offense and defense, Zhang Zhiyuan used his physical strength to throw away Pierce again and tried to catch the ball. Rondo rushed towards Zhang Zhiyuan like a crazy bull and bumped into Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan was knocked out of the field and fell into the audience. The scene was very chaotic for a time.
Odom ran over and pushed Rondo, and Garnett cursed. Then the two teams had a fierce scolding battle, which was as intense as the Chinese aunt.
The referee intervened and the farce ended quickly.
Rondo was called for a flagrant foul and ejected on the spot. Others did nothing and were only given verbal warnings.
Zhang Zhiyuan stood on the free throw line and made both free throws.
Later, Jackson tried to replace it.
Jackson didn't want to cause Zhang Zhiyuan to be injured for a record. The two teams already had a grudge, and now the Celtics players are full of anger. No one knows what outrageous things they will do next.
However, the fans at the scene did not agree.
Now Zhang Zhiyuan has just scored 53 points, tying his previous record.
"Change the picture, change the picture."
Fans at the scene shouted that they wanted to see Zhang Zhiyuan break the record.
Zhang Zhiyuan had no choice but to stand up: "Let me go, I'll be careful."
Jackson had no choice but to replace Zhang Zhiyuan again.
Subsequently, the entire Lakers team provided a screen for Zhang Zhiyuan. Odom grabbed Garnett for a foul and the referee did not call it. Zhang Zhiyuan successfully cut through the air, caught the ball, and dunked.
55 points.
When Zhang Zhiyuan came off the field, all the fans stood up and shouted MVP.
He deserves this game.
"The youngest Mr. 55 points is born."
Smith.
"I think the youngest Mr. Sixty and Mr. Seventy will all be his."
Buckley.
"I'm so envious. Watching this game makes me want to make a comeback."
Smith.
After Zhang Zhiyuan came off the field, both teams were like eggplants beaten by frost and lost their passion.
They all know that the next game is meaningless and no one cares.
The two teams went back and forth and played the last few rounds in a very harmonious manner.
No miracle happened and the Celtics lost the game.
94 to 107, the Lakers won by 13 points.
For the Celtics, Ray Allen scored the highest score on the team with 22 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Pierce had 18 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and Garnett had 15 points and 14 rebounds.
The Big Three scored a combined 55 points, slightly below their average, but not too far behind.
There was no problem with their offense, they just lost in defending Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan made 21 of 40 shots, 10 of 21 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 55 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal.
The shooting percentage was 52%, the three-point shooting percentage was 47%, the free throw percentage was 100%, the true shooting percentage was 66.5%, and the win-loss contribution value was 22.
The 21 three-point attempts in a single game also tied the previous record for the number of attempts, but the number of hits did not.
55 points in a single game is also the first 50-point score this season.
Relying on the incredible data, Zhang Zhiyuan led others away.
Kobe made 6 of 16 shots and only scored 17 points.
Odom made 4 of 12 shots and scored 10 points.
Bynum made 5 of 11 shots and scored 10 points.
Fisher had 6 points and 11 assists.
The four substitutes who came on the court scored a total of 9 points.
"The game is over, and the ending is pretty much what I thought."
Buckley said.
"Nonsense, before the game you could think of someone scoring 55 points on the Celtics."
Smith despises.
"Now I'm curious, will Zhang break out in the Finals? If he breaks out in the Finals, what will the Celtics do?"
Barkley changed the subject, which made Celtic fans feel inexplicably irritated.
They can only constantly comfort themselves and hypnotize themselves.
It's impossible, it can't be such a coincidence, he can't break out in the finals, there are seven games in the finals, he can't break out in every game...
"It's amazing. He scored 55 points against the Big Three of the Celtics. Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Sun Zhengping.
"If he continues to play like this, Xiao Zhang may even hope to surpass Michael Jordan."
Zhang Lili said.
Surpass Jordan?
Chinese fans cheered immediately after hearing this statement, and some fans even decided from this moment on to be fans of Zhang Zhiyuan for life.
After all, this is an existence that is expected to surpass the god of basketball.
"Asian basketball will soon be dominated by China. Where is the way out for our country's basketball?"
The Japanese commentator sighed.
"Maybe we should vigorously develop football. We still have a big advantage over China in football."
Yamada Ichiro said.
This is reasonable, but the Japanese fans are not happy. This approach is not so much a way to avoid its sharp edges as it is surrendering and admitting defeat.
