I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 55

According to common sense: 3 points are 2 point more than 1 points, but the shooting percentage of three-pointers is lower than that of two-pointers.

It's common sense to go to Nima!

After Liu He made four consecutive three-pointers, all common sense is a fart.

76: 58.

Seeing the nearly 20-point difference, Jeff Van Gundy really didn't dare to shrink his defense anymore and let Liu He continue to shoot.

I still remember that the Heat team coached by Jeff's brother "Big Fat" Stan Van Gundy was also thrown to death by Liu He.

In that game, Liu He made 11 of 11 shots and 7 of 7 three-pointers, a [-]% hit rate.

而这场比赛，刘河的三分球上半场2投2中，下半场至今4投4中，总计6投6中。

Fuck, this is the nemesis of the Van Gundy family!
As soon as he met the team coached by Van Gundy, Liu He, who was extremely accurate, directly evolved into a hundred shots.

Jeff Van Gundy wondered if Liu He had a grudge against his family.Otherwise, why would he explode as soon as he met the team coached by his two brothers.

In any case, the Rockets dare not shrink their defensive formation anymore.

And this, once again liberated O'Neill.

The big shark escaped from the cage and returned to the sea, which must be accompanied by bloody hunting.

O'Neal's scoring once again ushered in a skyrocketing.

At the end of the three quarters, O'Neal has scored 53 points.

Coach Jeff Van Gundy wanted to give up, but he didn't dare.

Tonight's game is a Christmas game, and league commissioner David Stern and a series of executives are sitting on the sidelines.

Playing badly in front of the league management, isn't this slapping them in the face?
If you dare to slap them in the face tonight, they will "specially" take care of the Rockets tomorrow, and the Rockets will be bad for the next few seasons.

So in the fourth quarter, the two sides are still fighting with real knives and guns!

However, Phil Jackson also understands the world. Seeing that the point difference between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, and the scene was not good, he replaced a few starters. Of course, O'Neal was kept on the court.

In this way, the point difference between the two sides is narrowing, but O'Neal's score is improving.

56...58...60...62...

In the end, O'Neal scored a full 3 points with 74 minutes left in the fourth quarter, increasing his career single-game scoring record by 13 points.

O'Neill called a timeout at this time and applied for a rest.

74 points, enough!
This score surpassed the 1994 points scored by David Robinson on April 4, 24.

It also surpassed the 1978 points scored by David Thompson on April 4, 10.

Second only to Chamberlain's 100 points, it ranks second in NBA history.

This is also the team history record of the Lakers.

After all, inside players are different from outside players. They have to score goals one by one, which is more difficult and consumes more energy.

Except for the 12 points in the pick-and-roll with Liu He in the opening game, O'Neal's subsequent goals were not easy and consumed a lot.

At this time, O'Neill was extremely tired, and even if he wanted to continue brushing, he couldn't move anymore.

Therefore, O'Neill simply chose to rest.

At this moment, the entire Staples Center erupted with huge cheers, and everyone at the scene stood up to applaud and cheer for O'Neill.

O'Neill was physically tired, but his spirit was extremely excited and he was very happy.

Such a scoring feast, even O'Neill cannot remain indifferent.

The league executives on the sidelines and the management of the Lakers are even more happy. This game does not know how much attention and money will be earned for the NBA and the Lakers.

In the end, O'Neal's data was fixed at 74 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 blocks.

Liu He scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals.

The rest of the Lakers players did not score in double figures.

The entire Lakers also beat the Rockets 128:102.

Yao Ming, who played against O'Neal, scored 38 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks. The statistics are also very beautiful.

To be honest, after the game, O'Neal gave up defending and focused on scoring, so Yao Ming also took the opportunity to play brilliant statistics.

It's a pity that this data is not worth mentioning when compared with O'Neill.

At the press conference after the game, Liu He proudly declared: "Shaquille O'Neal and I scored 100 points together."

At the same time, the two Christmas battles in the two foreign countries have also ended one after another.

The Mavericks beat the Kings 111-103.

德克·诺维斯基砍下31分14篮板5助攻3抢断3盖帽。

Antoine Walker scored 23 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks.

Antawn Jamison had 22 points and nine rebounds.

Steve Nash had a double-double with 14 points and 11 assists.

Four Mavericks scored in double figures.

Kings here:
Mike Bibby had 23 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Verati Divac had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Gerald Wallace had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Brad Miller 13 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists
The loss of the Kings, which lacked the two cores of Peja and Webber, was not wronged.

The last Christmas game, like the predictions of fans and the media, became a scoring show for McGrady and James.

詹姆斯全场28投13中，砍下34分2篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽。而且詹姆斯今晚的三分球爆了，全场10投4中，命中率高达40%。

只不过麦迪更胜一筹，全场29投15中，砍下44分8篮板11助攻3抢断1盖帽，三分球也是9投5中，数据全面碾压詹姆斯。

The Magic also won the final victory 113-101.

In the interview after the game, McGrady praised James: "He has incredible abilities, his potential is endless, and the future is unimaginable."

And James also said very modestly: "That man is terrible, he is almost omnipotent, and he has a lot of things worth learning."

The business of the two of them boasted to each other, all of them were sophistication of the world.

James is quite happy.

Although the team lost, but his performance is not bad.

As a rookie, he can compete with a superstar like McGrady, isn't that enough?
At this moment, the reporter told James: "The game between the Lakers and the Rockets is also over."

James nodded, pricking up his ears and waiting for the next words from the reporter.

Some time ago, because of the best rookie of the month, James, Anthony, and Liu He made a fuss, which once became the focus in early December.

The worst is James, who scored 3 points in the game against the Lakers.Los Angeles fans called "22 to 3" for half a month, which hit James hard.

And tonight, Anthony failed to participate in the Christmas game, and the performance of James and Liu He naturally became the focus of fans.

James puffed out his chest, quite confidently.

I scored a high score of 34 points tonight!

Can Liu He score more points than himself?
Even if you score more than yourself, it is limited.

Sure enough, the reporter said: "Liu He scored fewer points than you."

James then smiled.

But soon, the reporter added another sentence: "However, Liu He and O'Neal scored 100 points in total!"

James: "..."

???

100 point?
The Cavaliers also scored 101 points, which is considered a high score. After all, teams in this era averaged just over 90 points per game.

But Liu He and O'Neill scored 100 points together, what kind of concept is this!
随即，记者报出了刘河的详细数据：26分7篮板11助攻2抢断，其中三分球7投7中。

得分确实比詹姆斯少，但是肯定比他的34分2篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽，三分球10投4中的数据好看。

More importantly, Liu He scored 26 points... Calculated, O'Neal scored 74 points.

74 points!
James was stunned.

At this moment, the light of Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Walker, Jamison, Bibby, Divac, McGrady, and James was all overshadowed by O'Neal.

As bright as the sun covering the stars.

The next day, all newspapers across the United States mentioned the great statistic of 74 points, and O'Neal became the focus of all fans' discussions.

Many players and coaches also expressed their views on this.

Phil Jackson: "I always knew he had this ability, but when he did it in front of my eyes, I was still stunned."

Jeff Van Gundy: "Seriously, I did everything I could think of and I still couldn't stop him, that's it!"

Yao Ming: "It is my honor to be able to face him and witness such a miracle!"

Kobe: "This is him, I always knew what kind of great guy he was."

Liu He: "There is no one among the best big guys"

Jordan: "I regret that I didn't go to Los Angeles last night. I missed a feast."

Magic Johnson: "I just do magic, and he has supernatural powers!"

For a while, O'Neill was in the limelight.

And because of the stalk of "scoring 100 points together", Liu He will also be mentioned occasionally.

As for the performances of other stars in the Christmas game, such as Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Nowitzki, Bibby, James... you can only find them in the corners of the newspapers.

Other players can accept it. After all, they have experience. As a rookie, James is uncomfortable.

I scored 34 points!

However, apart from the local Cleveland newspaper, he couldn't find a single newspaper that mentioned him.

Therefore, most people will only remember Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, but they don't know the second peak, K[-].

When James was depressed, Liu He seemed very happy.

So far, the Lakers have achieved a record of 25 wins and 2 losses.

In the past 27 games, Liu He has made a total of 97 three-pointers.

According to this speed, Liu He can upgrade the badge of "[-] shots, [-] hits" in the next game.

2003 12 Month 28 Day.

The Lakers host the Celtics.

Considering that O'Neal played 45 minutes in the last game and was very exhausted, Phil Jackson chose to let O'Neal take turns in this game.

So, the Lakers' starting lineup became:

Fifth position: 38-year-old "Cobra" Horace Grant.

Number four: 40-year-old Ma Long.

Number three: 19-year-old Liu He.

No. 25: [-]-year-old Kobe.

Number one: 35-year-old Payton.

Today's starting lineup of the Lakers is quite "mature", with an average age of 31.4 years old, and this is still when Liu He is seriously "delayed".

From the Celtics:
Number five: 28-year-old Mark Blunt.

Number four: 32-year-old Vin Baker.

The third position: 26-year-old Paul Pierce.

No. 23: [-]-year-old Yeri Vershko.

One: 28-year-old Mike James.

Compared with the extremely unhealthy lineup of the Lakers, the Celtics' lineup is much more reasonable. All five players are in their prime, with an average age of 27.4.

Staples Center also erupted with far more boos than usual when the Celtics players came out.

The Celtics are the old enemy of the Lakers.

The yellow-green battle is also a game of grievances. This is not a one-time or two-time grievance, but a grievance accumulated over decades.

The Lakers have entered the Finals 25 times and won 11 championships.

The Celtics have entered the Finals 22 times and won 16 championships.

And the number of times they played directly in the finals was 10 times, and the Lakers only won 2 of them.

In terms of grievances, there is no grievance between other teams that can surpass these two teams. It can almost be said that they are enemies of life and death, and they are absolutely incompatible.

Celtics team spirit Bill Russell once said: "He will never wear a Lakers jersey in his life."

Of course, because Kobe violated his words later, he even publicly stated many times how much he hopes Kobe can be his child.

When Kobe retired, the Celtics cheered for the Lakers for the first time and gave Kobe a piece of Celtics home floor.

Of course, there is another person who also made a great contribution to the reconciliation between the Green Army and the Purple and Gold Army.

He is this year's No. [-] pick, LeBron James.

He is the first and should be the last Lakers player to kneel at the Celtics' home court, which is of epoch-making significance.

Back to topic.

The Celtics have declined in the past ten years, and their momentum is obviously not as good as that of the Lakers.

This season, Antoine Walker was released, and the Celtics with Paul Pierce as the core cannot be compared with the Lakers' Galaxy Battleship.

But tonight, O'Neal's absence gave the Celtics an opportunity.

And as long as there is a slight chance, as the mortal enemy, the green army will do its best to kill the Zijin army.

The game begins, the jump ball phase.

The old cobra just stretched out his hand symbolically, and didn't jump at all.

You can't ask too much from a 38-year-old veteran who has retired once and came back just to grab the ring.

This also reflects from the side the problem that the depth of the bench lineup is seriously insufficient under the gorgeous lineup of the Lakers.

Except for Fisher and George, the Lakers can't even find qualified substitutes for the second, fourth, and fifth positions.

Whenever a player is injured, it is a disaster for the Lakers.

Mark Blunt flicks the ball back home and the Celtics attack.

Mike James' breakthrough was cracked and he immediately distributed the ball to his teammates.

The Celtics passed the ball from the outside several times, but unfortunately the Lakers' outside defense was very strong and they never found a chance.

Seeing to 24 seconds.

The Celtics handed the ball to Pierce. Pierce faced Kobe's defense and forcibly missed the shot.

But at this moment, Mark Blunt grabbed an offensive rebound and succeeded in the second offense.

0: 2.

Phil Jackson frowned.

In this game, I'm afraid the Lakers' inside line will be blown up.
