unfinished glory

Chapter 297
Li Chongxiao himself didn't feel much about not scoring or approaching 100 points, but the fans felt very regretful.For the first time in years, someone came so close to Chamberlain's record.

People used to think that Chamberlain's record would be unbreakable, but now it seems that Li Chongxiao has great hope of breaking this record.

Just like after Kobe scored 62 points in three quarters, he said "don't worry, I will score 70 points in the future" and then scored 81 points.Li Chongxiao's sentence "Let's talk about it next time" also makes people think about it.

Fans who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement picked up the schedule one after another, looking for the next game between the Lakers and the Raptors.It is a pity that the two teams have finished the two duels this season, and fans can only regret that Chamberlain's record will be broken next season.

This game is also of great help to Li Chongxiao personally. Some media who previously wavered between him and Westbrook for the MVP of this season have now given their votes to Li Chongxiao.

Westbrook's triple-double is certainly powerful, but the traces of brushing are very obvious.The Thunder even created a "big card forward" position to block people for him.

Of course, some people say that this is a manifestation of strength, and it cannot be brushed by other players.However, Li Chongxiao still chose to give up the act of earning points even though he had the opportunity to complete the achievements of the past and the present, which is very virtuous.In contrast, it is not surprising that everyone is more inclined to the latter.

Soon it was time for these two players to face off. Within a week of the end of March and the beginning of April, the two teams would play two games, with the Lakers playing first and then away.

For the so-called MVP competition that was exaggerated before the game, Li Chongxiao seemed a little lacking in interest. He also routinely stated in the interview that this is an ordinary regular season, and he only hopes to help the team win and get a better ranking.

But Westbrook is sharpening his sword. His desire for honor has been deeply rooted since Li Chongxiao received the MVP trophy in front of him.When facing the media, he vowed that he could perform well in this game and lead the team to a victory.

Li Chongxiao didn't think that the team would lose to the Thunder when they were in good condition, so he played the game step by step, and easily scored 47 points in three and a half quarters, overwhelming the Thunder, and the game entered garbage time.

At this time, Westbrook only scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and he remained on the court tirelessly pursuing statistics.

Li Chongxiao has seen the jokes written by netizens: 9 points Westbrook is the most responsible, 9 points Westbrook is the most active, and 9 points are the most selfless.

After pushing his teammate to get two rebounds, he scored 10 assists and went from 27 points to 34 points regardless of the point difference.Originally thought that he would end up with a triple-double, but in the last minute and a half, he made 3 three-pointers abruptly, and hit one to raise his score to 30 points before giving up.

This kind of triple-double practice made the fans on the scene tired for a while, especially because Westbrook used the data to compete with Li Chongxiao for the MVP, which made the Lakers fans even more upset.So in the last half of the game, as long as Westbrook scored a stat, the audience booed; as long as he made a mistake, the audience applauded.

……

The so-called enemy is my hero.For fans of other teams, Westbrook's practice of swiping data seems to be uncomfortable, but for the Thunder, it is something worthy of their appreciation.After Durant left, the team fell from the championship team to the brink of the playoffs, and Westbrook's persistence became even more precious.His triple-double performance is the only consolation for the fans after the team's record is straight.

So when it came to the home game, Westbrook was even more cheerful.Not to mention Scott, any fan can see his thoughts.

So the Lakers' tactic is very simple. They put Westbrook at the beginning to prevent him from passing and assisting.Then stepped up the rush on the rebound, allowing Horford and Adams to block each other, and the guard and small forward stepped forward to get the rebound.

With such a simple tactic, Westbrook is the top iron.He only collected assists and rebounds at the last minute of the last game, and he naturally wanted to get them at the beginning of this game.In this way, he just fell into the trap of the Lakers. In the first quarter of the game, he always wanted to pass the ball, and was cut off by the Lakers several times.

In the second quarter, under the persuasion of the head coach, Westbrook changed his style of play and prepared to score first.But the Lakers also reacted quickly, which will strengthen their double-teaming.

After the halftime game, no one thought that Westbrook's first double figure was a mistake, and 10 times in the halftime broke the historical record.

The Lakers have led by as many as 27 points. Basically, this game is another big victory, and it will soon enter garbage time.Li Chongxiao also scored 35 points, and easily got 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

After 2 minutes in the third quarter, when the score difference reached 32 points, Li Chongxiao took a rest. The Lakers only had half of the main players on the court, and Jabari Parker led the game.

Westbrook was unrestrained at this time and seemed very calm. First, he made a 2+1 layup and scored in double figures. Then, under the cover of Adams, he got 5 rebounds and raised the number of rebounds to 8.

In this quarter, the Lakers did not have an inside defense. He kept attacking the inside, and then distributed the ball. By the end of the quarter, the number of assists rose smoothly to 10 points.

But the point difference between the two teams remained unchanged, so Li Chongxiao still had no intention of playing.Westbrook also started 2 minutes into the fourth quarter, and successfully reached 10 rebounds, achieving a triple-double.

At this time, everyone thought he was going to rest, but Westbrook still seemed dissatisfied. Facing the Lakers' full bench lineup, he started scoring performances.A player of Westbrook's level played as a substitute, and Seth Curry, who was of average strength, couldn't bear it. In more than three minutes, he got back 10 points.

Since the opponent broke the unspoken rules first, Li Chongxiao was also annoyed.He stood up, took off his training clothes, and offered to play.After going up, he first made an assist to help Seth Curry hit a three-pointer in return, and then found the right opportunity to get two consecutive rebounds on Westbrook's head.

Seeing that Li Chongxiao was a little angry, his teammates also played one after another, and helped him get a triple-double in three rounds, taking advantage of the trend to open the score to [-] points.

At this time, Li Chongxiao raised his left hand high and stretched out a finger, and his teammates all laughed.The classic "12345 tactic" has long spread from the Grizzlies throughout the league, making Kobe dumbfounded when he knew the reason.

From the end of the game, it was Li Chongxiao's performance time, shooting from various angles and methods, which made the Thunder fans on the scene addicted to watching, and some couldn't help applauding.

In the end, Li Chongxiao scored 32 points in a single quarter and got a triple-double of 70 points. He said to Westbrook: If you really want to score data, no one can compare to me!
