After scoring this goal, Lu Yao let out a breath, and everything suppressed in his chest was released at this moment.
He now ranks first in the single-quarter scoring list in history. At the same time, after scoring this goal, his personal score reached 54 points.
In just half a half, Lu Yao not only broke the historical record with 34 points in a single quarter, but he also scored 54 points in the half. Looking at the league, he was second only to Kobe Bryant's 55 points in the second half in 2006.
In that game, Kobe also scored a high score of 81 points, leading the Lakers to reverse the Raptors, leaving a legendary story in the history of the league.
Tonight, Lu Yao is also heading towards becoming a legend.
At present, Lu Yao only needs to score 6 points to reach 60 points, becoming the youngest 60-pointer in the league!
The 20-year-old Mr. 60 points, not to mention, Lu Yao only played seventeen games. He scored 60+ points in a single game in only seventeen games. This shows how terrifying Lu Yao is.
At this moment, there were 0.6 seconds left in the second quarter, and Lu Yao did not leave the Nuggets a chance to counterattack.
After this goal was scored, the Thunder already led the Nuggets by 14 points. All it took was Lu Yao to exert a little more force in the second half to take the game directly into garbage time.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the ball was handed over to Farid. Farid had just passed the ball to Lawson's hands. Before Lawson could take the ball, time was already running out.
The Nuggets did not complete this attack, which also announced that the Thunder entered the second half with a 14-point lead.
During the halftime break, the on-site staff worked hard to produce a highlight video of Lu Yao's second quarter. Ten minutes before the start of the second half, this video, which had been worked overtime, was played.
The video starts with Lu Yao's first goal in the league, then goes to Lu Yao's various record-breaking goals, many key goals, and finally Lu Yao's highlight goals in the second quarter.
At the end of the video, the staff showed all the records set by Lu Yao. People couldn't help but be amazed when they saw this long list of records.
Is Lu Yao really just a rookie? Everyone's impression of rookies was completely overturned by Lu Yao.
Such a player seems to have suddenly appeared in the league, an unprecedented player.
They have never seen a team that can lead the team to the first place in the league in just one rookie season. They are versatile and proficient in internal and external offense, have accurate shooting, and can wreak havoc on the opponent's inside.
Facing multiple double-teams, Lu Yao can easily break through the defense and score easily.
On the defensive end, Lu Yao is even more unsolvable. His wingspan of 2m31 makes Lu Yao's steals even faster. While his footsteps are solid, he can also block shots covering a large area.
Lu Yao's advantages are simply countless with two hands. Lu Yao's emergence is undoubtedly a miracle for this alliance. He will lead an era that only belongs to him.
Lu Yao was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, watching the video displayed on the big screen, his hand holding the mineral water bottle stopped, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
In the auditorium, the audience unanimously showed respect. At this moment, the Pepsi Center heard the MVP call that belongs only to Lu Yao!
Historically, there are not many fans who can make away fans shout MVP. Only players who perform extremely well and have to be impressed will receive heartfelt cheers from away fans.
Obviously, Lu Yao has gained the respect and admiration of Nuggets fans today, and the voice of MVP became louder and louder, as if resounding throughout the entire Denver plateau.
Thunder teammates came to Lu Yao's side one after another. Westbrook shook Lu Yao's shoulders and celebrated for Lu Yao.
The shouts of MVP continued until the start of the second half.
Players from both sides made adjustments one after another to prepare for the next game.
Similarly, neither side made any substitution adjustments and still maintained the lineup at the end of the second quarter for the third quarter.
At this moment, the fans watching this game couldn't help but look forward to it. The moment they saw Lu Yao come on the court, the Pepsi Center once again burst into cheers.
Obviously, Lu Yao wants to hit the youngest 60-point player in history in this game.
For him, this game is not enough to allow him to rest. He wants to completely kill the game.
The game restarted and the ball was handed over to the Nuggets. Farid served from the baseline and handed the ball to Lawson.
After receiving the ball, Lawson slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, trying to slow down the rhythm and wait for his teammates to get into position.
After his teammates were in position, Lawson faced the defense and quickly started to change direction in front of his body. He passed the defensive player in one step and broke through to the inside.
At this moment, the Thunder's interior is empty, which is a good time for Lawson to lay up.
But can the result really be what he wants? Obviously this is not possible.
After Lawson passed the defensive player, Lu Yao, who was standing in the bottom corner, also started to fly towards Lawson.
The moment Lawson shot the ball, Lu Yao also jumped up. In his eyes, the ball at this moment was so small that he could easily grasp it.
"Bang!" There was a loud sound, and the basketball in the air seemed to turn into a volleyball, and it was violently slapped to the ground by Lu Yao.
The Thunder teammates reacted quickly, protected the ball, and passed the ball back to Lu Yao when Lu Yao landed.
The Thunder's offensive round in the third quarter began at this moment.
Lu Yao slowly dribbled the ball across the half court. Facing Chandler's tight defense, he seemed unhurried. While he kept pushing forward, he was also looking for opportunities to pass Chandler.
Chandler's spirit was already tense at this moment, and he did not dare to relax at all, for fear that Lu Yao would seize the opportunity and pass him by.
In this way, the two of them were in a stalemate all the way to the top of the arc. Lu Yao kept using large changes of direction in front of his body. Each change of direction was three meters away. It is terrifying to think about it, let alone Qian De who faced this scene in person. Damn it.
Chandler swallowed, but at this opportunity, he was passed by Lu Yao.
After Lu Yao passed Chandler, he immediately retreated and returned to the three-point line, putting a considerable distance between himself and Chandler.
After a three-point shot, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the basket steadily.
Lu Yao's personal score reached 57 points!
…
At the three-point line on the wing, Lu Yao held the ball and faced the double-team of two people, protecting the ball sideways, looking for an opportunity to break through.
Just when the two of them were deceived by Lu Yao's movements, Lu Yao suddenly made a three-point move to meet the two of them without any fear.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the ball that escaped.
With the crisp sound of brushing the net, the ball hit.
Lu Yao's score reached the 60th point.
