Chapter 308 Try Chamberlain

With a 20-point lead, the Clippers easily defeated the Thunder and won their second consecutive home victory.

比赛结束鸣哨声响起那一刹那，球馆上空喷射出五颜六色的庆祝彩带，中央大屏幕上显示苏阳本场个人数据：49分15助攻11篮板3抢断2盖帽。

With such data, looking at the only one in NBA history, using "all-around fighter" is no longer enough to accurately describe its power.

The announcer shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please use your warmest cheers to congratulate Su Yang on achieving the record of scoring 9+ in 40 consecutive games, and wish him the next game to continue until he scores 15+ in 40 consecutive games...

Cheers instantly resounded throughout the arena, the audience stood up and applauded, and there were bursts of MVP shouts.

Su Yang got up and waved, bowed slightly towards the surroundings of the arena, and then walked towards the oncoming Westbrook and Harden.

Harden raised his hand and said, "Great, I hope you can beat the Lakers the day after tomorrow and break this record."

Su Yang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Then you will beat me hard tomorrow night, it will waste their energy."

According to the schedule, the Thunder will play back-to-back against the Lakers tomorrow night, and the Lakers will play against the Clippers after the Thunder. If the Thunder can consume a lot of energy for the Lakers, then the defensive pressure on the Lakers against the Clippers will inevitably decrease.

In that way, the probability of Su Yang scoring 10+ in 40 consecutive games will be greatly improved.

Harden backed away with a chuckle, Westbrook came over again, shook hands with Su Yang directly, then leaned close to him, and whispered: "Congratulations, and besides, KD asked him to convey the congratulations, because for some reason, it is not convenient for him to meet you face to face. speak."

Su Yang said: "Then please take me to convey my thanks, and look forward to the next contest between us."

Westbrook turned around and left with Harden, and the audience gave applause and farewell.

Su Yang gave high-fives to all his teammates, and then followed the staff to the middle circle for a post-match interview.
The ESPN reporter picked up the microphone and said: "OK, I will first ask the fans the most concerned question, that is, why did you leave the court early for a rest, and you are unwilling to score 1 extra point to reach 50 points. Has no one reminded you?"

Su Yang recalled a little, and said: "I didn't pay attention at the time. Paul George reminded me after the game, but I didn't want to interfere with the rotation due to face problems, so I just stopped at 49 points. If this happens again, I will Hit more."

"OK, the second question, after you rest for a day, you will play against the Lakers in the same city, and you and Kobe have scored 9+ points in 40 consecutive games at the same time. Will you break the record by beating Kobe head-on?"

"The Lakers are a very good team. I can't guarantee that I can beat them. I will try my best, but I will always take the team's victory as the first goal, just like Kobe made adjustments for the team back then. ..."

Back in time to February 2003, 2, that night, the Lakers played against the Knicks.

Because O'Neal was troubled by a toe injury, Zen master Jackson told Kobe before the game that he hoped Kobe would take more responsibility on the offensive end. Kobe did not refuse or hesitate, and directly started the crazy scoring mode, scoring 46 points that night.

In the next eight games, Kobe scored 40+ points in a row, including 51 points against the Nuggets and 52 points against the Rockets, averaging 44 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.56 steals per game.

But with the continuous scoring momentum too strong, Zen Master Jackson once again found Kobe, hoping to temporarily stop the crazy scoring mode. The reason is that Kobe's limelight is too strong, which may make O'Neal unhappy and affect the playoffs.

Kobe was very angry at Zen Master's request, but for the sake of the team's long-term record, he did not play like before in the game that night. As a result, after the game, he scored only 32 points, and the consecutive record came to an abrupt end.

Unfortunately, even with that adjustment, the Lakers still lost to the Spurs in the second round of the playoffs that year.

"Of course..." The reporter chuckled knowingly.

"Finally, I would like to ask, if the next game against the Lakers, you successfully raised the record to 10 games, will you try to hit 14 or 15 consecutive games? We want to see you tie or break the record created by Wilt Chamberlain .”

Hearing this, Su Yang thought for a while.

In the NBA, when talking about many records, Chamberlain is often not included in the discussion.

The reason is that Chamberlain's various records are too perverted. 100 points in a single game is even trivial. The most terrifying thing is that he averaged 50 points and 25 rebounds per game in a single season. He also averaged 47.8 minutes per game and was the only center in assists.

As for scoring 14+ in 40 consecutive games, it is only an insignificant one of Chamberlain's various records.

But from the perspective of today's people, it is really unbelievable. Even Jordan only managed 9 consecutive games with 40+.

"If you can play alongside Chamberlain, it's worth the effort."

Su Yang said: "But I will always take the team's victory as the first goal. That is my only criterion for basketball games. I don't play for statistics, I don't play for records, and I don't even play for fans. I just want to win. And play."

The voice fell, and the audience cheered.

The reporter smiled and signaled the end of the interview, Su Yang turned around and walked to the sidelines, leaving the field with his teammates.

Back in the locker room, Jr. pretended to be the host and led the whole team to simply celebrate for Su Yang.

After the cheers were over, Jordan touched his chest and said, "Let me put my words here first. In the next game against the Lakers, I will do my best to cover for you, and I will also work hard to grab rebounds and give you the greatest help. I want to see Until you break the record."

"Me too!" Kaman continued, and other teammates echoed their agreement.

Su Yang looked around his teammates and found that everyone had a serious expression on their faces, that kind of hope came from the heart.

"I suggest that you don't care too much about winning or losing, especially the occasional regular season, that has little impact."

Davis said: "I just listened to your interview, and you mentioned many times that the team's victory will be the first goal. In fact, Kobe had 9 consecutive 40+ games and lost to the Spurs and Knicks in the middle, which did not affect his shock. "

"I also agree." McGrady said, "In my two scoring championships back then, some people always said that it was because the Magic team had a bad record, so I could shoot without any scruples, but it turns out that the scoring championship has nothing to do with the record. Don't worry about the fans. view."

Su Yang nodded silently.

It is true that the scoring title has little to do with the record. Jordan can win the championship and win the scoring title at the same time. However, among the teams with such poor records in the league since ancient times, there are very few players who can win the scoring title.

McGrady's meaning is very clear, that is, to break the record first, especially when the critical moment is a few points away, don't think about scoring and assisting, just do it yourself, and it doesn't matter if you don't win. After all, such an opportunity, the entire career may just one time.

"I thought the same..."

Randolph said: "Although you don't need to do anything to prove your strength, breaking the record can fail to earn income. To a lesser extent, it is the topic of popularity, which affects the ownership of this season's MVP. To a greater extent, it determines the final history. status."

When he said that, Tucker and others nodded in agreement, and dozens of pairs of eyes of the whole team stared at Su Yang.

"Then try to surpass Chamberlain..." Su Yang also felt moved, "Go all out."
