Adrian really has this idea to use the second quarter to refresh the single-quarter scoring record.
But what he thinks most about right now is to continue to score, do his best to score, score with all his strength, and leave a brilliant mark when he is about to leave the Los Angeles Lakers.
This is one of his ways to retaliate against the Lakers, because he knows very well that the more amazing his achievements are after the transfer, the more criticism he will receive from Buss and his followers in the future.
It is getting more and more serious. It may even be so serious that the Bass family finds it unbearable.
Therefore, at the beginning of the second quarter, Adrian continued his style of the first quarter without hesitation, scoring, and going all out to score.
Just after halftime, Adrian once again asked Fisher for the basketball. He made a fake move to break through to the left, and then changed direction with all his strength and cut to the right. Adrian's fake move did not
Corey Brewer was not fooled. He followed Adrian's footsteps, but one of his shortcomings was infinitely magnified in the confrontation with Adrian.
He was too thin, lacked strength, and lacked the weight to stop strong outside players from cutting in on the defensive end. As soon as his chest came into contact with Adrian's rushing body, he was immediately squeezed by Adrian without any suspense.
When he reached the side, he couldn't even make any resistance movement. Before others could catch up and double-team him, Adrian stopped and jumped, and sent the basketball into the basket with a front hook.
After using a mid-range hook to score the first two points at the beginning of the second quarter, Adrian became a little quieter. First, he shot a three-pointer from the left side near the baseline, but the force was too much. Basketball
After wiping on the backboard, he flew directly out of the sideline. Then he missed two mid-range shots and missed three consecutive shots. This performance naturally disappointed the fans who were hoping that Adrian would continue to score points like crazy in the second half.
.
But soon, Adrian's scoring gate opened again, and the scores came in like an endless stream.
During another attack, Adrian held the ball at the free throw line for a while and then suddenly passed the basketball to Vujacic on the three-point line. Because he was too focused on defending Adrian, Vujacic had been completely blocked.
After a while, he received the basketball from Adrian and instinctively chose to take off for a three-pointer.
Perhaps it was too long without taking a shot. Vujacic's three-pointer bounced off the frame. Al Jefferson immediately got into a favorable position under the basket, ready to compete for the rebound. Just before Al Jefferson
At the moment when he was ready to take off to grab the rebound, a figure wearing the purple and gold No. 1 jersey jumped up first and firmly grabbed the rebound above everyone's heads.
"Bang!" Holding the basketball tightly with both hands, Adrian rounded his arms and smashed it toward the basket!
"Bang!" This was not only Adrian's first dunk in this game, but also an instruction to open Adrian's scoring gate again. Next, Adrian's scoring was as unstoppable as a rushing flood.
.
During the next offense in the Lakers half, Adrian was already about to pass the ball. Just after halftime and one step away from the three-point line, Adrian suddenly took off.
This shot was so sudden. No one could have imagined that Adrian would suddenly take off and shoot one step away from the three-point line at this time. No one had time to stop Adrian's shot from this position. All they could do was watch.
He watched the basketball take off from Adrian's fingertips, draw a beautiful arc in the air, and fall straight into the basket.
"Bang bang bang...shua!" The basketball bounced on the basket three times in a row, and then like a naughty elf being caught, it fell into the hoop unwillingly.
Then in the next attack, the same position, the same distance. The same dribbling directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt. At the same place, Adrian took off again and shot another ball just like the previous one.
Three points. This time, before the ball touched the basket, Adrian had already turned around and raised his right hand high.
"Shua..." The sound of the shuai net coming from behind was extremely clear, and together with the cheers of the fans, it formed a surging chao.
When Adrian controlled the ball from the backcourt and went straight to the frontcourt for the third time, Corey Brewer could no longer stand in the three-point line and maintain a defensive formation waiting for Adrian to come, because if Adrian
If An can hit a three-pointer from that position, his defense is equivalent to allowing Adrian to score.
There was no extra energy to pay attention to the defensive formation. As soon as Adrian passed half court, Corey Brewer eagerly jumped out to defend Adrian.
"Papa..."
Choosing to save to defend Adrian was a mistake.
Although Adrian's three-pointer is quite threatening, especially today when his touch is so hot that he can bake eggs. But Corey Brewer, who saved Adrian to defend him, made a huge mistake.
It was his misconception that he could prevent Adrian's breakthrough.
A simple, but quick and confusing change of direction in front of the body. Although it is a basic basketball action, it is easy to use because of the basics. Adrian directly threw away Corey Brewer and cut into the three-pointer.
Branch line.
The Timberwolves' defense was stretched too far, so that after Adrian got rid of Corey Brewer, there was an empty road in front of him. Al Jefferson couldn't tolerate Adrian to continue to score, but pounced on Adrian
Except for another foul on Andre, he didn't even prevent Adrian from scoring directly.
After being hit by Jefferson in the air, Adrian lost his balance and threw the basketball to the basket. As if there was some mysterious attraction, the basketball hit the backboard, and then hit the basket.
The back edge of the basket bounced back and hit the backboard again before falling into the basket.
In the free throw, this time, Adrian did not make any mistakes. When the referee just blew the whistle to allow the free throw, Adrian shot the basketball in his hand and made a steady hit.
2+1
"Do you think you can stop me from scoring?" Adrian stared at Al Jefferson with a smile on his face. There was no anger at being fouled on his face: "You can try more, but no matter what
No matter how you try, the result is the same."
Adrian dribbles the ball for the fourth time
After missing three shots, he hit four in a row, scoring 11 points in a row on four of five shots, and also caused a foul that allowed three free throws.
With Adrian's three free throws, Adrian has scored 15 points in a row. Counting the initial mid-range shot, Adrian has scored 17 points in the second quarter. It seems that he scored like crazy in the first quarter.
Reappear.
Now, the second quarter is only half over, and Adrian still has enough time to complete what he failed to accomplish in the first quarter and break the single-quarter scoring record.
"God, Adrian has already scored 17 points in the second quarter, and now less than half of the time has passed. This is even more efficient than his scoring in the first quarter. Does he really want to score in the second quarter?"
Can you break the single-quarter scoring record in such a game?" Kenny Smith sighed, and at this moment, he found that his partner was looking down at something.
"Hi, Charles. We're not paid to tweet here."
"Shut up Kenny, I'm checking the halftime scoring record!"
"Oh." Kenny Smith said in a wakeful voice: "It is indeed necessary to check. Adrian's half-time score has reached 49 points. I believe this score is not far from the half-time scoring record, Charles
, who holds the record for points scored in a half?"
"Wirt Chamberlain." Charles Barkley raised his head with a look of disbelief on his face: "On March 2, 1962, the Philadelphia Warriors vs. the New York Knicks. Chamberlain scored 59 points in the second half!"
Kenny Smith's eyes suddenly widened: "Is it that 100-point game?"
Charles Barkley nodded heavily.
Chamberlain!
Wilt Chamberlain!
This is a name full of magic.
Although he lived in an era when there were only black and white video tapes, and although he lived in an era when the NBA was still a minor league, this name will make anyone who knows and loves basketball unable to help but feel awe the moment they hear it.
respect.
He is the most powerful ruler in the history of basketball, and his energy on the offensive end is astonishing. If you were to make a list of the greatest basketball players of all time, I believe that the vast majority of fans would put Chamberlain's name on it.
At the very top - at least infinitely close to this position.
Chamberlain's dominance over his basketball subjects is almost unique in the entire professional sports circle. He can use double teams, triple teams, and even shameless foul tactics. In short, he should use everything you think can stop him.
After Chamberlain's trick of moving forward, it is usually disappointing to find that this monster can still score points or grab rebounds at will.
Therefore, when "Big O" was asked by a reporter from the "Philadelphia Daily News" whether Chamberlain is the best player in history, "Big O" would throw out this sentence: "Historical records don't lie."
Wilt Chamberlain left a series of legendary records that are considered impossible to be broken. These include scoring 100 points in a single game, averaging 50.4 points per game, scoring more than 4,000 points in a single season, and winning 7 consecutive scoring titles.
, 11 times rebounding champion, 55 rebounds in a single game, averaging 27.2 rebounds per game...
A series of distant records that make people look like they are in an extragalactic galaxy can make anyone who tries to break them feel despair.
Among them, the one who scored 59 points in the half may be quite unknown, but if he breaks the record left by Wilt Chamberlain, such historical influence is completely incomparable with breaking any record left by others.
