After the Thunder led by 12 points, Scott called a timeout and made substitution adjustments, replacing all the main players on the field, which also announced that the Lakers had given up resistance.
It's not easy for them to get to this point. After all, they are facing the Thunder, which has won fifteen consecutive games and is at its peak, and has the best players in the league.
Soon, as the referee's whistle sounded, the game ended. The Thunder defeated the Lakers 120:109, leaving a victory at home.
Although the Lakers completed a huge chase from 20 points behind to take the lead in the first three quarters, they were delayed by the Thunder's steady play until the fourth quarter and regained the advantage.
In this game, Kobe made 12 of 18 shots, scoring 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. It is really amazing that the 36-year-old can still perform such an outstanding performance after suffering a devastating injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon. In awe.
If it weren't for Kobe's many key scores, the Lakers would have been defeated by the Thunder in halftime.
But the most valuable player of this game is not Westbrook who scored 31 points and 10 assists, but Lu Yao.
In the entire game, Lu Yao scored a double-double of 51 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. He made 13 of 14 three-pointers, breaking the NBA's historical single-game three-point record. He is a well-deserved MVP!
There is no doubt that Lu Yao will definitely win the MVP list announced tonight.
From scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter to reverse the Clippers in the first game, to having a 40+ triple-double at halftime, and now becoming the all-time three-point champion in a single game, there is no doubt that Lu Yao’s rookie season is full of legendary qualities. .
Today's superstars feel a threat from the east, and the star Lu Yao is already high in the sky.
Lu Yao, wearing a microphone on his head, stood on the sidelines and was interviewed by reporter Ma Fanshu who came to CCTV.
"Lu Yao, how do you feel about you breaking the three-point mark in a single game in NBA history?"
Lu Yao looked down at his hands, with a thoughtful look on his face, and then slowly spoke.
"To be honest, this is a joyful thing. In my first season in the NBA, I am really happy to be able to break the record set by Kobe."
"What's more, Kobe is also one of my favorite stars. Being able to break his record feels like a legacy from him."
"However, I can't complete this record without the support of my teammates. If they hadn't created opportunities for me, I probably wouldn't have set the record with such a hitting rate."
Lu Yao's flawless answer not only respected Kobe, who had set this record before, but also praised his teammates.
There is no doubt that his speech will attract another wave of fans.
After Ma Fanshu asked this question, she turned to the next topic.
"So Lu Yao, you said before that we will win until the All-Star Game. Now it seems that this is really possible. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Lu Yao scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Well, maybe, after all, it's still some time before the All-Star Game, and we can't guarantee that we can win until then. Maybe the winning streak will end at some point. Woolen cloth?"
"What I said before was a bit loud. If I have offended anything, I will sincerely apologize, but I will also do my best to make this sentence a reality."
After Lu Yao answered a few follow-up questions, Ma Fanshu was about to end the interview. At this moment, the audience roared with MVP calls.
This MVP call is undoubtedly dedicated to Lu Yao tonight.
Now Lu Yao is a hero to Oklahoma fans. In their eyes, Lu Yao's status can be compared with Durant and Westbrook, the two players who helped the Thunder rise.
Maybe this season, the Thunder can reach the top with the help of Lu Yao.
The photographer who was about to pack up his equipment also stopped what he was doing and looked at Lu Yao with celebration in his eyes.
Seeing this, Ma Fanshu suddenly had an idea and asked Lu Yao one last question.
"Lu Yao, how do you feel about the city of Oklahoma?"
Lu Yao smiled and lowered his head, then slowly spoke.
"like very much."
…
Amidst the shouts of MVP, Lu Yao walked into the player tunnel and disappeared from the fans' sight.
Despite this, all fans who watched this game will remember this historic game.
Back in the locker room, the Thunder teammates had been waiting for a long time. Before Lu Yao could react, they stepped forward and lifted him up.
Immediately, everyone threw Lu Yao into the air and celebrated wantonly.
"Lu, it's okay. You have to be the MVP tonight."
"Historical three-point champion in a single game! Lu, do you know, you are the historical single-game three-point champion!"
At this moment, Ibaka patted his chest and boasted.
"My teachings are better. Look at how strong Lu is now."
This sentence immediately attracted scorn from others.
"You, a big center, stay in the paint every day. Does it have anything to do with Lu's historical single-game three-point leader? You will brag."
After saying that, the locker room was once again filled with laughter.
After some celebrations, although they still felt unfinished, they all went home and prepared for the next game.
After defeating the Lakers, the Thunder continued to stay first in the league with a 16-game winning streak. They have already opened 7 wins with the Warriors, who are second in the league, showing their dominance.
The Thunder, which has 23 wins and 3 losses, has set a record for the first 25 games in team history. It is unknown whether they can hit the 60-22 record in team history.
After changing into casual clothes and preparing to leave the Energy Center Arena, Lu Yao unexpectedly bumped into Kobe.
When Kobe saw Lu Yao, he extended his hand to him and congratulated him.
"Lu, congratulations, you have reached the position of the three-point leader in a single game in history."
Lu Yao also held Kobe's hand and nodded vigorously towards Kobe: "I feel extremely honored to be able to break this record in front of you."
Hearing this, Kobe was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"I thought you would think I was very angry and wouldn't dare to say this. That's right. I seem to be quite a stingy person."
"Next time we meet on the court, I will definitely try my best to defeat you, Lu."
The two chatted happily for almost half an hour, during which they talked about a lot, including Chinese basketball and Dayao Yao.
In Kobe's eyes, Lu Yao and Dayao are completely different. Kobe's evaluation of Lu Yao is much higher than that of Dayao.
For Kobe, Lu Yao is a player who is completely ahead of his time.
After a long time, the conversation between the two came to an end. Lu Yao and Kobe hugged each other. Kobe patted Lu Yao on the back and said from the bottom of his heart.
"Young man, the future is yours,"
