Chapter 297 Returning to Home
In the battle against the Rockets, Channing scored 82 points, which attracted the attention of basketball fans all over the world.

That night, Channing became the youngest player in NBA history to score 60, 70 and 80 points in a single game. A future potential star like Tete has transformed into a mature superstar at the same level as Kobe, James, and Wade.

With the superstar Channing leading the team and the addition of a superstar Yao Ming, the price of the Philadelphia team has risen. After this battle, everyone feels that the future of the Philadelphia team is limitless.

In the post-match press conference, Channing became the focus of the audience.

"Why did you score 82 points tonight? Does it have something to do with tonight's opponent being the Rockets?"

It was such a stupid question at the beginning. This reporter didn't want to pay attention to Channing's scoring performance at all, he just wanted to bring rhythm to attract attention.

Channing's answer was also very blunt:

"Yes, I think Houston should have more respect for my friend and compatriot Yao Ming. This is worthy of Yao's contributions and sacrifices in the Rockets for so many years. Unfortunately, the crazy fans have caused a lot of psychological damage to Yao Ming. An account, I put it on the Rockets."

Channing's frankness surprised the reporters at the scene, they had never heard such a straightforward answer.

Another reporter followed up with a question:

"Tonight's game, you have maintained a large point difference. It can be said that nearly half of the game time is garbage time, so why don't you rest during garbage time, and choose to continue to score points? Is it to break the record?"

Another rubbish question, Channing rolled his eyes:
"First of all, I don't think there is so-called garbage time in basketball games. This is an insult to every player who works hard on the court. Yao missed the game tonight, so I played some more time, that's all. .”

"Secondly, even if your so-called garbage time occurs due to the large point difference, it is because the Rockets are too weak and are destined to become the background of Mr. 82 points."

Channing's response became more and more rigid. Cheeks heard the strong dissatisfaction in Channing's tone, and hurried out to smooth things over so that the press conference could go on.

In fact, Channing was really unhappy. He played hard on the court and broke Kobe's record with his own strength, but was picked on by these ignorant and stupid reporters.

It also means that Channing caught the Rockets to vent their hatred, and it also means that Channing dares to fight hard during garbage time. Anyway, it means the same thing. As a yellow-skinned guy, how could Channing break the current basketball king-Kobe? record?There must be something wrong with this.

Qian Ning's response was also quite crazy, I just want to beat the Rockets to death, I just want to score points crazily if I don't end in the garbage time, what can you do to me?
Of course, these extremists are still a minority, and most journalists are still very professional and know how to disguise their inner discrimination.

The record-breaking 82 points completely exploded the Chinese basketball circle.

Countless fans posted frantically on the Internet, and Channing's 82-point video highlights soon had more than 3000 million views, and once again topped the Weibo trending searches.

Stars such as Dayao, Ah Lian, Sun Yue, and Daqi sent their blessings one after another. Wang Qizhuba sent a congratulatory message from Guangdong, and Channing’s former eldest brother and former younger brother Iguodala also called from Detroit. Congratulations to Channing.

That night, Channing also appeared in the NBA's official top five balls, and he had two exclusive seats. One was the crotch man who dunked Hayes and Landry after the ball was scored, and the other was the last shot against two defenses. Man's drift made a strong three-pointer.

The NBA official website also sent blessings to Channing in the most prominent position on the homepage:
"Congratulations, great Mr. 82 points!"

Back in Philadelphia, the 76ers’ three consecutive away games are finally over. They withstood the devil’s schedule and defeated the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets in a row. Although the Nuggets and Rockets are not strong enough, the Lakers are a real match A tough battle, and Philadelphia also defeated the Magic and Cavaliers in the East one after another, proving that they belong to the first echelon of the league.

The first opponent back home is the Pistons. With the departure of main players such as Ben Wallace and Billups, the strength of the Pistons has declined significantly this season. A good player, but the rookie guard Rodney Stuckey, whom Dumars is optimistic about, has never shown enough talent. The civilian Pistons who have defeated the Lakers F4 in history have come to an end.

The biggest highlight of this game is the offensive and defensive duel between Iguodala and Channing. Facing his former owner, Iguodala was very excited. The offense with the ball and the touch of the outside line are far better than usual. He was holding back his energy to show off in front of Philadelphia to express his dissatisfaction with the team trading him.

Facing Iguodala, Channing seemed not very focused, mainly because he really felt guilty.

Last season, Channing once imagined winning the championship with Iguodala. Channing is Jordan in Philadelphia, Iguodala is Pippen next to him, and Reggie Evans, a rebounding idiot, plays the role of Rodman.

Unexpectedly, in just one season, the three of them parted ways. Because of the unsatisfactory salary negotiations, Reggie Evans left the team first and joined the Raptors. In order to get Yao Ming, Channing also ruthlessly agreed to use Yi Godala as a bargaining chip.

After the team lineup was reshuffled again, the Philadelphia team's lineup configuration and record performance have made a breakthrough this season. Now they are the number one in the Eastern Conference, with the most powerful center in the league and the top five MVP money rather.

The more excited Iguodala played, the less energetic Channing became. At the end of the first half, the Philadelphia team only led the Pistons by 5 points, and they did not have the strength to play No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

Coach Cheeks also understood this. He simply reduced Channing's playing time in the second half, allowing him to rest after scoring 82 points.

Dayao, who took a game off, took over the banner of the team leader in the second half and completely destroyed the Pistons' inside line with undefendable turnaround jump shots.

At the end of the game, the Philadelphia team beat the Pistons 112:98 by 14 points. Yao Ming scored 29 points and 13 rebounds, the highest number of points and rebounds in the game; Iguodala scored 23 points and 4 rebounds. Ball's all-around data of 5 assists, but the rest of the Pistons failed to give him enough support, making Iguodala seem to have returned to the time when he led the team independently in Philadelphia.
