When Lu Yao reached the top of the history of three-pointers in a single game, the fans in the audience cheered and pumped their fists excitedly. The Thunder players on the bench jumped up with excitement.
Scott also called a timeout at this time and recalled all Lakers players on the court to the bench.
At this moment, Scott had to give some face.
After all, this record is really legendary.
Can people believe that Lu Yao is just a rookie, but this rookie has averaged a terrifying 35+9+8 in the first fifteen games, and his shooting percentage is as high as 61%.
What's more, Lu Yao led the Thunder to victory in these fifteen games and broke multiple historical records. He scored 40+ triple-doubles in the half and 40+10 blocks and 10 steals in a single game. He became the second player after James to win three consecutive games. Player of the week guy.
If Lu Yao wasn't really a rookie, then people would praise him as an MVP-level player and a historical-level superstar.
The record of the historical three-point leader in a single game is somewhat inferior compared to his past records.
It can be imagined how invincible Lu Yao was in his rookie season. The entire powerful league could not single out his opponent.
When Teacher Yang Yi saw this scene in the CCTV live broadcast room, he was so excited that he was even speechless.
Teacher Yu Jia sat next to Yang Yi, also speechless. Their mood at this moment was the mood of thousands of Chinese fans.
Teacher Yang Yi took a deep breath, with some tears even visible in the corners of his eyes, and slowly spoke.
"I don't know what I can say, how to describe how I feel right now."
"Lu Yao from China broke the historical record for three-pointers in a single game in just half a game. He made 13 of 14 shots. What an incredible thing."
"This is something like a miracle for the entire league, not to mention that the person who created this record is from China."
"However, Lu Yao's appearance has brought unprecedented hope to our long-awaited group of Chinese people."
"With Lu Yao in Chinese basketball, he will one day be able to reach the top of the world."
Kobe was sitting on the bench, and fans in the audience behind him asked him questions.
"Kobe, how do you feel when you see your record being broken?"
Kobe turned his head, looked at the fan who asked the question, and responded with a smile.
"I'm definitely happy, but I won't give up on winning this game,"
In this sentence, Kobe is definitely not talking empty words. It is precisely because Lu Yao broke his record that he should work hard to win this game.
This is not only respect for Lu Yao, but also respect for the omnipotent self before.
Looking up at the scoreboard at this moment, after Lu Yao's historic three-pointer, the score between the Thunder and the Lakers reached 56:45, with the Thunder leading by 11 points.
Although it seemed that the Thunder held the lead, this advantage was all achieved by Lu Yao's explosive performance in the first half.
Just after halftime, Lu Yao had already scored MVP-level data of 39 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. It is natural for such a player to be beaten behind.
The Lakers' offense was steady and orderly in the first half. Randall and Clarkson, who felt cold in the first quarter, also felt warmer in the second quarter and were in good shape.
If the current Thunder did not have Lu Yao, they would be in decline.
If the Lakers can withstand the impact from the Thunder in the third quarter, they still have a chance to win the game in the second half.
At the end of the half, Clarkson ended the game with a three-pointer from across the court. The game entered the intermission, and players from both sides returned to the bench.
Scott sat on the bench and kept drawing tactics. The Lakers players were all listening. At this moment, they were bound to launch a counterattack in the second half.
The Thunder would never have thought that on Lu Yao's record night tonight, there would be several twists and turns due to a rebuilt Lakers, and they even almost lost the game.
Soon, the intermission ended, and the Lakers still maintained their original main lineup, showing their determination to recover the score.
The Thunder replaced Lu Yao and let Westbrook lead the team alone. After all, Lu Yao had almost played at full capacity in the first half. If Donovan continues to overuse Lu Yao, the Thunder will still have a tailwind. It shouldn't be.
With the referee's whistle, the third quarter officially began. Randall received a pass from the referee and handed the ball to Clarkson.
After receiving the ball, Clarkson followed the tactics and dribbled the ball steadily through the half. Just after the half, Randall was ready to come up to cover.
Westbrook at the top of the arc was focused on Clarkson in front of him, and Randall found an opportunity to cover Clarkson.
The two men's eyes met, and the tactics were executed immediately. After Clarkson mobilized Westbrook's center of gravity, Randall stepped forward to block Westbrook's position, and successfully blocked Westbrook with his tall body.
Clarkson took advantage of the opportunity to change direction in front of the body, and then Randall's screen came to the free throw line and made a mid-range shot.
The ball came out of the hand, spun in the air for a moment, and then fell steadily into the basket. At the same time, the score on the scoreboard was refreshed at this moment.
At 56:47, the Lakers scored the first goal of the third quarter. This goal also greatly increased the morale of the Lakers.
In the next game, although Westbrook performed well, due to West's injury and Lu Yao's dismissal, the Thunder did not have players who could respond to Westbrook.
This indirectly caused Westbrook's teammates to be unable to score the good ball passed out by Westbrook. Westbrook was trapped in a tight siege, and his shooting percentage also decreased.
At the same time, the Lakers' cooperation has become more tacit, and the recovery of Randall and Clarkson has also allowed Kobe to integrate into the team's off-ball system with confidence and use his unsolvable mid-range shooting ability to contribute points to the team.
The Lakers continued to use teamwork to seize the Thunder's flaws, and then turned them into points, constantly shrinking the point difference on the field.
Lu Yao watched this scene off the court, his eyes widened, and he looked up at the scoreboard, 65:61. Only five minutes had passed, and the Lakers were chasing the score by 7 points.
The situation on the court was completely in the hands of the Lakers, and the Thunder actually began to become passive.
Unless a player breaks the game at this time, the Lakers will tie the score sooner or later.
Westbrook on the court also felt helpless. Not only did most of his teammates miss the ball he passed, not to mention, he was still restricted.
Immediately afterwards, Clarkson and Kobe each hit a three-pointer from the wing.
For the first time, the Lakers took the lead in this game.
