Chapter 290: The Youngest 50 points

Although I broke Kobe Bryant's single-quarter three-point record in the second quarter, the score was still stalemate. Although the Wizards slowly began to narrow the score, they always couldn't overtake.

Doug Collins and Philip Sanders are constantly deploying troops, constantly changing tactics, trying to reduce the score or increase the score through adjustments.

87:91

Since I made the seventh three-pointer in the second quarter, Kevin Garnett's eyes have turned green. No matter where I run, he has never left. Such a tight defense has made me unable to make an elegant three-pointer again, and I can't make a beautiful step-back shot from the inside again. His big hands have always been over my head and threatening me. I only have the chance to score a strong attack and dunk in the inside after I grab the frontcourt rebound. At other times, I basically disappeared into Kevin Garnett's defense.

But because Kevin Garnett defended, the Timberwolves' inside defense was no longer so tight, which gave Louis Scola and Carlos Boozer the chance. They scored frequently in the inside, and the score was slowly getting closer. In the fourth minute of the fourth quarter, the Wizards were only four points behind, and I couldn't run anymore. I was a little tired. I had already reached 42 minutes on the court, scoring 45 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 blocks. In the Timberwolves' strict defense, my data was very exciting, especially in the second quarter, I shot 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, breaking Kobe Bryant's record. I seemed to have achieved success in this game. If I lost in this game, no one would criticize me.

I look forward to being able to get off the court and give me a few minutes to restore my strength, but there is a voice in my heart that reminds me loudly: If you persist, stick to it, and if you persist, you will definitely win the game.

I gritted my teeth and persevered because I believe I will lead the team to victory instead of just taking a nice stat.

Michael Jordan is controlling the ball from the outside, and I am still entangled with Kevin Garnett at a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line. This destined enemy has brought his defense to the extreme. I feel like I can't move, but no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it!

Louis Scola ran out to play pick-and-roll for Michael Jordan. King Joe quickly killed in the inside, Joe Smith, who chased Louis Scola, and stuck Michael Jordan's direction of progress. Michael Jordan twisted his body and jumped up in the air. His wrist shook, passing the basketball to Carlos Boozer who blocked Rahue Nestrovic. Boozer received the ball and tried hard, then half turned around, holding Rahue Nestrovic with his left hand, hooking the basketball to the basket with his right hand in a posture similar to the golden rooster.

Basketball has entered!

Carlos Boozer has an advantage in strength, and his skillful inside skills have made him not suffer much when facing Lahu Nestrovic. He has scored 16 points in this game. The Wizards are the player with the most points besides me.

"It's still two points away. We can tie the ball if we score another one!" Michael Jordan shouted.

Kevin Garnett ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball, and I followed him tightly to the three-point line. The Wolf King's athletic ability is too outstanding, his footsteps are too fast, and his height and wingspan are a bit unhuman. Whether it is Carlos Boozer or Louis Scola, he suffers a little, and at present, I can only defend him alone.

I tried hard to bend down and stared at Kevin Garnett, constantly analyzing his possible next moves in my heart.

No one dares to underestimate the Wolf King, just as no one dares to underestimate Michael Jordan. No matter where they appear, his threat is huge.

Kevin Garnett stared at me with wide eyes, his eyes full of murderous aura, but I was not afraid of this. If the eyes could kill people, then Sakuragi Hanamichi should have been dominating.

There were a burst of "squeaking" sounds behind me. I knew it was the basketball shoes rubbing the floor. I knew it was the Timberwolves players working hard to run. I knew it was the Wizards players working hard to make up for the gaps that were appearing. I didn't need to worry about this, I just needed to defend Kevin Garnett.

Kevin Garnett's eyes suddenly glanced to the left, and the basketball in his hand quickly sent it to the right. I quickly slid half a step to the left, and saw Kevin Garnett's shoulders did not move and quickly moved the center of gravity to the right.

I was right, Kevin Garnett wanted to pass the ball to my right. I stretched out my hand and touched the basketball with my fingertips, which left the original running trajectory.

In the surging crowd, Louis Scola ran to the basketball's landing point. She hugged the basketball and fell to the ground. Troy Hudson bent down and wanted to grab the basketball in Louis Scola's hand. Michael Jordan immediately made a gesture and demanded a pause.

The whistle sounded! Michael Jordan's timeout came at the right time, and he kept the Wizards' ball.

There is no need to make any tactical adjustments, because the Wizards are on the road to victory, with only two points difference, but the ball is still on the Wizards' side, but Doug Collins seems to want to say something, and he keeps licking his lips.

"Kaome, how old are you this year?" Doug Collins asked suddenly.

I was a little surprised and a little surprised. I didn't know why Doug Collins asked this, but I still said honestly:

"I was born on March 10, 1982. Today is February 2, 2003. I have 36 days to celebrate my 21st birthday. Today is 20 years old and 329 days." A lot of numbers broke out in my mouth.

Doug Collins nodded, with a mysterious smile on his face, and asked again:

"Do you know who is the youngest star in NBA history to score over 50 points? How old did he get 50 points?"

I was shocked! NBA has countless records, not only the scoring list, the blocking list, the assist list, the rebound list, but also many lists such as the youngest 50 points, the youngest 40 consecutive 40+, the youngest triple-double, the youngest quad-double and so on. However, few people pay attention to this list. Only when he is broken will someone make a big fuss.

"I don't know," I shook my head and said.

"It's Rick Barry, who scored 57 points when he was 21 years old and 261 days. This record has been covered for decades. But, Kwame, you have scored 45 points today, and there are 3 minutes left in the game. You have a good chance to break this record. Can you do it?" Doug Collins' tone was like the wolf grandmother seducing Little Red Riding Hood.

But I couldn't resist the temptation, so I nodded vigorously.

"Next, I will arrange a few tactics for you, and I will give you a chance to shoot, you must seize it!" Doug Collins encouraged me.

I turned my wrist guards hard, sorted out my lucky headband, and stood on the court again. Doug Collins kept arranging special tactics for me in this game to break the dusty records and constantly encouraged me to take that confident step. I was full of gratitude. Maybe he was not an excellent head coach, maybe he could not lead the Wizards to the championship, but he devoted his passion to me.

On the sideline serve, Michael Jordan slowly transported the basketball, I ran to the key inside, Kevin Garnett followed me to the inside, and the originally crowded basket seemed even more crowded.

I kept running under the basket, and kept tossing inside and outside the paint area, Kevin Garnett followed me tightly.

Finally, I waited for the gesture made by Michael Jordan, and I blocked Kevin Garnett behind me and sat down hard. When Carlos Boozer and Louis Scola were caught in, I quickly ran to the outside line. Carlos Boozer and Louis Scola blocked Kevin Garnett tightly.

I received the basketball from outside the three-point line, and 213 cm Rahue Nestrovic rushed over like a wind. But he was a little far away from me, so I jumped up, raised the basketball in my hand, and shot another three-pointer.

This shot was beyond everyone's expectations, because I had not made a three-pointer since the third quarter. My outside feel had been empty for a long time, and no one knew how it felt. If it weren't for the last moment, I wouldn't dare to arrange for me to take action like this.

But Doug Collins arranged for me to take action, and basketball was quite unreasonable.

"Three-pointer, another three-pointer, Kwame Brown hit a three-pointer again with his never-cold feel, and he made the Wizards successfully surpass the score." DJ was shouting loudly, and the fans at the scene made various cheers.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, Kevin Garnett made pick-and-rolls for Wally Szebiak, blocking Dennis Rodman of Wally Szebiak and Wally Szebiak received the basketball outside the three-point line without any adjustments, jumped high and shot the basketball in his hand.

The basketball passed through the basket. The Timberwolves once again led by 2 points.

I quickly sent the ball from the baseline, Michael Jordan drove the ball to the front court at a rapid speed, and the Timberwolves began to siege and intercept again.

The fast attack was not completed, and the fast attack became a positional battle. Kevin Garnett entangled me this time.

Michael Jordan used a pick-and-roll made by Louis Scola and broke in, then dismantled the basketball to Louis Scola. Louis Scola shot the basketball in his hand from one step inside the three-point line.

The basketball hit the rebound, and countless big men at the basket were struggling to compete for positions. Kevin Garnett also entered the paint area.

I have no defense, but basketball is not under the control of the Wizards at this time. If I want to get the ball, I have to break into the penalty area and grab that rebound.

I got into the inside from the gap between Carlos Boozer and Joe Smith. As soon as I got into the inside, I jumped high. Because no one took special care of me, I jumped the highest among the people who jumped. I received the falling basketball. I pushed my waist hard in the air, and with both hands, dunked the basketball hard to the basket!

"Bang!" The basketball was dunked into the basket by me!

"50 points!" I yelled with my hands on the basket. This was my first 50 points. I wrote the record under my name, and I succeeded!
