Chapter 1495 The Miracle at Madison Square Garden (Part 2)

Even ten years later, scoring 50+ points in a single quarter is still a crazy thing, let alone in this era where defense is still paramount.

According to NBA official statistics, the league's average score per game is only 97.8 points, not even 100 points. When allocated to each quarter, it is less than 25 points, and the defense like the Celtics is at its best. It is very normal for a team to score less than 20 points in a single quarter.

So you can understand why in the home courts of many NBA teams, if the home team scores more than 100 points, all the fans will have a free burger, because this is really not an easy thing.

But tonight's game refreshed the views of many fans. In the first quarter between the Lakers and the Knicks, three Lakers scored in double figures, one scored over 15, and they scored 53 points in a single quarter!

"The Lakers scored an astonishing 53 points in the first quarter, which broke Madison Square Garden's single-quarter scoring record, and also broke the NBA team's highest scoring record in the first quarter!" Smith said during the break. Time said so.

The NBA single-quarter scoring record per game is an astonishing 58 points, which occurred in 1972 when the Buffalo Bisons played an away game against the Celtics, but this happened in the fourth quarter.

The record for the highest score in the first quarter is held by many teams. They are the Celtics against the Golden Nuggets in 1982, the Jazz against the Golden Nuggets at home in the same year, the Bucks against the Magic at home in 1989, and the Suns at home in 1990. Gold nugget, score is 50 points!

And tonight, this record was finally broken. The Lakers broke the 50-point barrier, scoring 53 points in a single quarter, adding another touch to the legendary name of Madison Square Garden!

However, this record is definitely not good news for Knicks fans. After the first quarter, the entire Madison Square Garden burst into harsh boos, and the target was not the Lakers who had just defeated the home team, but the home team Knicks!

"It's rubbish! We lost 53 points in a single quarter, and let someone score half a game's points in one quarter, rubbish! Disband now!"

"Shhhhh~~!~!!! The team is disbanded, the competition is over, and Dolan is going to die!"

"FUCK! I can't stand it anymore! Refund the ticket and refund the ticket!"

"Brother, let's go first. Bah, trash Dolan! Let the people of Los Angeles act so wild here!"

"Damn, this is the first time. The Lakers have almost broken all the shameful records of our team!"

"Kobe Bryant scored 61 points here last year, Ji Feng scored a 50+ triple-double, and lost to the Lakers by 58 points. This wasn't enough, and now it's here again! A garbage team!"

The Knicks, who were watching the game live and on TV, couldn't help but explode unexpectedly. To be honest, anyone who sees their home team being beaten like this will have an emotional explosion.

Of course, the Knicks' media is indispensable. The special commentator of New York Sports News severely criticized the Knicks at the end of the first quarter, bluntly saying that the current NBA team should be divided into the Knicks and 29 other teams!

Compared with the anger of Knicks fans and the media, fans of other teams are actually very happy to watch. There is no way. In terms of the ability to attract hatred, the Lakers have to be ranked second in the league. In this regard, the Knicks champions the entire league , this is all thanks to the New York media and the Knicks' saucy operations.

So when they saw your game, the joke makers on the Internet would not let the Knicks go easily. They made all kinds of jokes like crazy, and for a while the Knicks became the hottest sports topic here.

"Although I don't like the Lakers, I enjoyed watching this game. Hahaha, the Knicks are so pitiful, but I have to say, well done."

"53 points in a single quarter. I can't remember how long it has been since I saw such a scoring frenzy. They made Bynum a veritable shark. The Knicks were so rotten in front of him that they were eaten to the bone. "Left."

"Trivia, the Knicks didn't hit the peak of the season in the first quarter, so the Knicks paid the Zen Master, otherwise they would have scored at least 60 points in this quarter."

"Ji Feng appeared in the second quarter. I want to see 60 points in a single quarter."

"I really want to see the expression on the Knicks' owner's face now, it must be very exciting!"

This kind of ridicule makes many celebrities in New York feel very uncomfortable. For example, Spike Lee, who is sitting on the sidelines and has become autistic. He is so angry that he doesn't even bother to curse. If it weren't for the attributes of fans for many years to support him, he definitely should be now. On the way home.

"I just hope that the Knicks can restrict the Lakers in the second quarter, just for a moment, so that the fans at the scene can sleep well."

Accompanied by the bitter words of the on-site commentator, at the beginning of the second quarter, all five generals, Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Bynum, and Fisher, came off the court. However, the fans at the scene, including the Knicks players, were not happy at all, because Ji Feng is on the stage!

"Although Ji Feng is surrounded by four substitutes, who dares to underestimate him? Maybe the Celtics and Cavaliers are not afraid, but the Knicks are definitely not included." Barkley continued to praise Ji Feng from a different angle.

And Ji Feng did not live up to Barkley's praise. The first shot made Knicks fans feel cold. David Lee originally wanted to take advantage of Gasol's absence and dribble coquettishly with his back, but he still didn't shoot. Well, the ball is gone...

"Ji Feng completed a sudden attack. Didn't David Lee take a closer look with his back? He was too confident. Ji Feng helped the Lakers score two more points. It was also Ji Feng's first point in this game." Barkley said.

"NICE!" Ji Feng high-fived his teammates. He didn't come here just to win. Although they are almost certain to win this game, they will not be polite to the New Yorkers. They will win as much as they can. These are the exact words of Master Zen. .

Therefore, Ji Feng was full of firepower. In the next 6 and a half minutes, he made sudden outside shots and defended. Ji Feng instantly scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, leading the team to a 25-10 victory. be further expanded.

78-31, there is no suspense in this game.

The only suspense may be how many points the Lakers can score in the half.

At this time, Lakers talent Shi Shiran returned to the main lineup. Of course, Ji Feng still stayed on the court. This is the Lakers' strongest lineup.

Seeing this lineup, the Knicks head coach already feels like buying a train ticket and running away...

In the next less than six minutes, the Lakers continued to maintain a super shooting percentage, especially Ji Feng, who seemed very excited. After all, not playing in the first quarter had stifled him.

With 1 minute left in the half, the Lakers had scored 91 points. This is already a new record for half-time points in the history of the Lakers!

But it is a pity that the Lakers may not be able to achieve the feat of scoring 100 points at halftime.

But just when the commentators were about to praise the Lakers from another angle, Ji Feng showed off his power!

He first stole Du Hong's dribble and then went to the frontcourt for a chasing three-pointer. Then he slipped to the baseline to catch the ball at a 45-degree angle and scored another three-pointer!

97 points at halftime!

The Knicks finally woke up. With 27 seconds left, they would rather not play than give the Lakers a chance. They passed the ball back and forth, but they just didn't shoot, and the Lakers didn't complete the steal, and finally violated the rule in 24 seconds.

With 3 seconds left, Jackson didn't mean to call a timeout. Gasol served directly. Ji Feng was blocked by three players when he took the ball. He reluctantly dribbled to near the three-point line and shot directly.

This ball is just a tentative throw, but the fate is so wonderful!

Uh-huh!

The ball goes in!

A super long three-pointer!
