unfinished glory

Chapter 194 Beyond the Legend
The two sides scored 79:65 in the three quarters, and the Grizzlies took a 14-point lead in the away game.

In the third quarter, relying on Li Chongxiao's 36 points in a single quarter, they beat the Spurs 38:9 in a single quarter, completing a 29-point comeback.

In the fourth quarter, Li Chongxiao was on the court at the beginning, and he was ready to beat the Spurs in one go.

This time he is not fighting alone, and his teammates are gradually recovering. Although the Spurs are also scoring goals, their unstable state has made them swallow the bitter fruit.

More than seven minutes into the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies made a concerted effort to beat the Spurs 27:14. With 4 minutes left in the game, the Grizzlies had taken a 27-point lead.

Popovich saw that the point difference was getting bigger and bigger, and Li Chongxiao's score was getting higher and higher, so he had to give up the game and remove all the main players.

Seeing the opponent concede, Li Chongxiao also had to follow the unspoken rules of the league, and he couldn't kill them all. After this round, he would end up resting.

He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and glanced sideways at the Spurs bench. Several old teammates, Duncan and Bowen, either covered their heads with towels, or lowered their heads to stop watching the situation on the field.

There was also no sound of cheering on the court, and the audience was sparse, and they had almost left.

Li Chongxiao felt dull for a while, just after passing the middle circle, he took off and shot a super long three-pointer.He turned around without looking at whether the ball was scored or not, and gestured to Carlisle to replace him.

There was a lot of wailing in the arena. With this three-pointer, Li Chongxiao scored 72 points today, surpassing another Spurs legend, David Robinson, and exactly one point more than the Spurs' highest score of 71 points. point.

……

It may not have been the Spurs' worst loss, but it was definitely their worst.

It's not just that the records of their team's famous stars have been broken one after another, nor is it because they were blown away by old generals at home, but because they let go of a superstar who can be ranked in the history of the NBA.

The two sides had a sweet start, and the development is also going well.However, as the Spurs continue to fight to the death, they hesitate to renew the contract, hesitate in the tactical arrangement, and care about the status of the team, and they will not force Li Chongxiao away.

Originally, the Spurs thought they would let go of a McGrady at most, but they didn't expect it to be a big Kobe.With the ability that Li Chongxiao has shown today, even Jordan, who is the same age, dare not say that he is stronger and better than him.

In the postgame press conference, Popovich was asked repeatedly why the Spurs would give up such a superstar, until he got impatient and walked out angrily.

The media seats of the Grizzlies are about to be reported, and the reporters who came to sing their praises in the last round will pay homage even more this time.

Regarding tactics No. 1 to No. 5, Li Chongxiao smiled and did not answer, claiming that it was the team's secret tactics and could not be easily revealed.

As for whether he can exceed 81 points, he also said that he has a chance, but he doesn't know if he can do it.

But the media and fans think he can do it, only 10 points away. In the remaining 4 minutes, according to Li Chongxiao's state in this game, facing a bunch of Spurs substitutes, as long as he is willing to shoot, 10 points Still very sure.

The next question that everyone is most concerned about is how many points he can score in the next game.

63 points, 67 points, 72 points, three consecutive games have scored 60+ points, the next game against the Celtics, can you still score 60 points?
Li Chongxiao himself doesn't care about how many points he can get. These three games have already proved his ability. Even if he only gets 10 points in the next game, no one dares to question himself.

……

This detonated the entire basketball circle from the news of the game, and everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

Experts and media from all walks of life have expressed their praise and admiration for Li Chongxiao, and the current players are basically convinced of him.

None of these three opponents are weak. Carter said that it would be difficult for him to score 50 points, let alone 60 points, or three consecutive times.

Durant also sent his blessings immediately, hoping to score 60 points once in his lifetime, expressing his desire to train with Li Chongxiao this summer.

Even Jordan came out and said: "He and Kobe are the most like me."

When the reporter interviewed Kobe, he said with a smile that he didn't seem to mind that Li Chongxiao scored 67 points in Staples.

The best way to cheer up an unlucky man is to find someone even more unlucky.

In addition, what made Kobe happy was that he won the fat man again, and also drove his former opponent into the quagmire.

In another Christmas game, when the Lakers played away against the Rockets, Kobe scored a triple-double of 31 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, while his partner Yao Ming, half booed and half cheered, Scored 52 points in three and a half quarters.

On the other hand, Tracy McGrady and O'Neill refused to unite when the soldiers pressed the border. One scored 19 points and the other scored 17 points. They lost the last fig leaf of being superstars.

It is said that when Alexander watched Yao Ming dunk and roar, he was so angry that he dropped his coffee cup.

……

After the Christmas game, the Grizzlies did not get a chance to rest, and they still have a super strong team to deal with.

The Celtics currently rank first in the East and second in the league, and they are still at home.After Garnett and Ray Allen joined the Boston Fleet Center, it has become the home of the famous devils. The teams that come here usually have to peel off their skins even if they don't die.

The Grizzlies' game this week is extremely difficult. The top four teams in the league have all touched each other, and they all play away games.No one knows how many times the team has cursed the league in secret.

In fact, although the Grizzlies are tired, their mentality is very relaxed.The Celtics are the last of their eight-game playoff team tour. Regardless of whether they win or lose, they can breathe a sigh of relief in the following games.

The nervousness turned against the Celtics, because Li Chongxiao's three consecutive 60+ scoring performances were too exaggerated, and they didn't want to be another stepping stone on Li Chongxiao's scoring road.

The Celtics have a tough interior defense, but the perimeter is relatively weak.Although there are defensive champions like Tony Allen, even first-tier defense players like Kobe and Bowen can't stop Li Chongxiao from scoring. Teacher Tony's two brushes are definitely not effective.

If it is easy to prevent Li Chongxiao from getting a high score, it is to surrender in advance.But it is impossible for ordinary teams to do this, let alone a legendary team like the Celtics.

As early as the end of the last game, their coaching staff held a meeting specifically because of this issue, and finally decided on the tactics, which are now waiting to be tested.
