Lu Yao, who scored 28 points in the half, was in hot form tonight and had a chance to hit a score of 40+.
In the commentary box, Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at the statistics table and talked with relish.
"Lu was in very hot form tonight, scoring 28 points at halftime. It seems like he wants to hit 40+ points again!"
"If Lu scores 40 points tonight, this game will be his fourth consecutive game with 40+ points."
At the same time, Lu Yao's personal data from the previous three games also appeared on the live broadcast room.
They are, 50+ triple double, 40+20, 40+ large triple double!
If you go back and watch Lu Yao's first three games, then this game in which he scored 28 points in half will seem ordinary.
Because in the 40+20 game, Lu Yao scored 40 points in the first half, becoming the first rookie in history.
At the same time, he is also the first person in history to score 40+ consecutive points. No one can have such a performance in his rookie season.
If he continues to score 40+, his record will become out of reach.
Barkley looked at the data table and couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Lu Ke really says that the bigger the better. In the eleven games since his debut, more than 80% of the games he scored more than 30 points, which is terrifying!"
Kenny Smith was also shocked on the sidelines. Although they have been observing Lu Yao since his debut until now, Lu Yao's performance in every game is still enough to shock them.
What's more, Lu Yao has led the Thunder to 10 consecutive victories!
At this moment, the screen in the live broadcast room changed and a face appeared on the screen.
Kenny Smith cleared his throat and said: "We are honored to invite Michael Jordan to connect with us in this game. Michael, what do you want to say about Lu Yao's current performance?"
That's right, what appears on the screen at this moment is the God of Basketball, the man known as the Black Jesus, Michael Jordan!
When Jordan heard this question, he immediately smiled and replied without hesitation: "This young man is very strong, even better than I was back then!"
As soon as these words came out, the fans watching the live broadcast were in an uproar.
The God of Basketball publicly admitted that Lu Yao is better than him! This is extremely rare for Jordan, who is extremely competitive.
It can be said that there are very few people who can be recognized by Jordan. Many historical superstars are not looked down upon by Jordan.
But who is Lu Yao? Lu Yao is just a rookie, but this rookie is recognized by Michael Jordan.
Barkley was also very surprised. After all, as Jordan's old rival, he had often quarreled with Jordan, so he naturally knew his character.
"Michael, are you kidding me?"
Hearing this, Jordan burst into laughter and said nonchalantly: "How can I be kidding? This young man's performance in 11 games since his debut has been enough to surpass my performance in my rookie season. What should I deny?"
"And I also believe that he can maintain this performance to finish the season."
"Charles, aren't you Lu's number one fan? Why don't you even believe in your idol?"
After saying that, Jordan didn't forget to mock Barkley, making Barkley snort in anger.
"Fake, you are still the same."
At that time, Jordan was not only the strongest player in the league with his skills, but also the strongest player in the league with his trash talk.
At the same time, the news that Jordan publicly recognized Lu Yao quickly spread throughout the Internet.
After all, Jordan, who rarely appeared in public, dropped a big bomb when he showed up, which immediately aroused the curiosity of countless people.
…
At the same time, Jordan's words quickly reached Lu Yao's ears.
The audience on the sidelines sent the picture of Jordan's connection on their mobile phones to Lu Yao's eyes. Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jordan say that he was better than the original Jordan.
Unexpectedly, even the god of basketball affirmed him.
After childhood, many people dreamed of becoming a player like Jordan. Lu Yao was the same way back then.
Although he did not really become Jordan, Lu Yao was very happy to be recognized by Jordan.
Soon, the halftime break ended and the third quarter began.
Lu Yao stepped onto the court again, his whole body seemed to be full of strength!
The ball was handed over to the Thunder, with Westbrook taking charge and leading the Thunder to launch a new round of offense.
After halftime, Westbrook handed the ball to Lu Yao on the wing. Facing Olynyk's defense, Lu Yao turned around and made a turnaround jumper. He faced Olynyk's defense and scored easily.
Even before the Green Army's double-team was in place, Lu Yao had already scored a goal.
In the next game, Lu Yao led the Thunder to speed up the pace. The fast pace is not good news for the Green Army's positional warfare tactics.
It was too easy for Lu Yao to be double-teamed by two people.
After Lu Yao grabbed the rebound, he came to the frontcourt alone. At this moment, all five members of the Green Army were already in position. Lu Yao was facing a one-on-five situation.
But Lu Yao didn't feel nervous at all. He first passed Jeff Green with a change of direction, then turned around and shook off Rondo, and rushed into the paint. Three people in the paint came up to cover the defense.
But this was completely useless to Lu Yao.
Olynyk rushed forward quickly. Lu Yao had already caught his movement and took a step forward. Olynyk's center of gravity was mobilized at the same time.
Suddenly, Lu Yao pocketed the ball, raised the ball over his head, and used a crisp European step to pass Olynyk directly.
There were two more people staying inside, but after Lu Yao passed Olynyk, he directly pulled up, not giving the other two people a chance to defend.
The ball fell steadily into the basket. At this moment, the eyes of the Green Army players were filled with despair.
What's this? What's this?
At this moment, the Green Army players have such an idea in their minds.
Facing such a defense, Lu Yao couldn't feel the pressure. So what kind of defense is needed to restrict Lu Yao.
The answer is, no.
Throughout the third quarter, Lu Yao was almost frantically restricted by the Green Army team, but it still didn't help.
Lu Yao continued to use unsolvable offense and unpredictable ball control to score one goal after another.
But the moment Lu Yao's personal score reached 45 points, the Thunder's lead had reached 20 points.
Donovan called a timeout, and when garbage time came, there was no need for Lu Yao to play.
The Green Army did not struggle and replaced themselves with substitutes. The rest of the game became boring, and fans even began to leave early.
Today, Boston is silent!
As the game ended, it was announced that Lu Yao scored 40+ points in his fourth consecutive game, leading the Thunder to a 116:95 victory over the Greens!
With 11 consecutive victories, the Thunder's gap with the teams behind them has become wider and wider, and they have opened four games ahead of the second-placed Warriors in the league.
Today's Thunder is unstoppable and invincible!
