Just when all fans were expecting Sun Yi to attack Chamberlain's record of 14 consecutive 40+ points, Sun Yi's 10 consecutive 40+ points came to an abrupt end.
It's not that Sun Yi is incompetent, it's that his opponent is too good!
In the home game against the Timberwolves, who were last in the Western Conference, the Warriors players broke out collectively and defeated the Timberwolves in only two and a half quarters.
After three quarters, the Warriors scored 100 points, leading the Timberwolves by 35 points.
Sun Yi's performance was remarkable, scoring 36 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, as long as Sun Yi plays for two or three minutes, it will be easy to score 40+ points.
But the problem is that the score difference between the two teams is huge, and the fourth quarter has become garbage time. If Sun Yi continues to play, he will be suspected of scoring points.
Although Sun Yi's popularity has skyrocketed with 40+ points in 10 consecutive games, there are so many people who are famous, so naturally there are those who want to smear him.
Sun Yi's anti-fans believe that Sun Yi's ability to score 40+ points in 10 consecutive games was all because of the team's help. The gold content is not high, and even a star can do it.
Sun Yi's loyal fans immediately quit and called on like-minded fans to protest against their idol, citing a series of Sun Yi's real data.
In terms of team contribution, Sun Yi led the Warriors to a nine-game winning streak in these ten games.
In terms of personal statistics, Sun Yi averaged 43.8 points per game, shot 70% from the field, 55% from the three-point range, 98% from the free throw line, averaged a plus-minus of 28 per game, and had the lowest turnover rate on the team.
It can be said that no player in the league can achieve such a high efficiency.
After seeing Sun Yi's series of real data, the little black guys were speechless. They couldn't open their eyes and talk nonsense. They could only ignore it and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.
So far, this online scolding war has ended with Sun Yi's fans winning a big victory.
This incident caused quite a stir on the Internet. Naturally, Sun Yi came across the relevant news and reminded himself of it.
Don't let the little black guys grab the handle, otherwise the higher you hold it up, the harder it will fall.
Now that this situation occurs, it is Sun Yi's turn to make a choice.
All members of the Warriors support Sun Yi to play in the fourth quarter. After all, such an opportunity is rare.
Sun Yi is very grateful to the coach and teammates, but he can't do this.
If he appears in garbage time to score points, he will not be able to get rid of the label of data brush.
Moreover, he is still young and his strength has not yet reached its peak. He will still have the opportunity to hit this record in the future.
Just like that, after the start of the fourth quarter, Sun Yi failed to play.
The fans at the scene felt happy and regretful when they saw this scene.
In their hearts, they still hope to see Sun Yi shamelessly go on the field to collect statistics, and at the same time hope that a miracle will happen. As long as the Timberwolves recover the point difference, then Sun Yi can make an honorable debut.
But the Timberwolves couldn't hold up the wall. Even if the Warriors' substitute players showed off, they couldn't narrow the point difference.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 128-94, winning ten consecutive games.
In the post-game interview, media reporters asked Sun Yi why he did not continue to play in the fourth quarter.
Sun Yi followed his inner thoughts and replied: "I don't think it's a pity. This is my second season. There is still a lot of time left for me. I believe I can break this record in the future."
The media reporters' eyes lit up and they immediately drafted tomorrow's front-page headlines in their minds.
So in the following interviews, the reporters became more and more pleased with Sun Yi.
These are their parents who provide them with food and clothing!
After accepting the post-match interview, Sun Yi returned to the locker room, changed into training clothes, and went to the training hall for additional training.
…
After defeating the Timberwolves, the Warriors traveled to Dallas to face the Mavericks away from home.
In this game, Sun Yi failed to continue his hot streak. His shooting percentage in a single game fell below 50% for the first time. He scored 22 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
After Sun Yi was targeted and defended by the Mavericks, the Warriors had no players to step up and shoulder the offensive burden. As a result, they failed to capture the score at the critical moment and lost an excellent opportunity to take the lead.
The Mavericks relied on the outstanding performance of Nowitzki and Dayao to maintain their lead until the end.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 96-88, ending the Warriors' ten-game winning streak.
After the game, Sun Yi communicated with Dayao for a while, and then was escorted by the staff back to the locker room to join the team.
…
After the winning streak was ended, the winning spirit in the hearts of the Warriors players unknowingly evaporated, causing the Warriors' state to fluctuate in the following games.
They can win against a strong team like the Bulls, the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference, or they can lose to a weak team like the Kings, the second-to-last team in the Western Conference.
It can be said that the Warriors' state is very unstable, which makes fans who follow them extremely worried.
Warriors head coach Nelson is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and is not worried about the team's status.
A NBA season spans a very long time, and it is normal for a team to have its ups and downs. As long as the problems are identified and solved, they can get back on track again.
…
On March 30, the Warriors faced the Nuggets at home.
Sun Yi's condition improved somewhat, with a triple-double of 38 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks, leading the Warriors to defeat the Nuggets and maintaining their lead until the end.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 125-86.
At this point, the Warriors ended March with a big win.
…
On April 1, the league announced various honors for March.
Sun Yi's performance in March was obvious to all, and he was undoubtedly the Western Conference Player of the Month.
In the March game, Sun Yi averaged 35.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game, leading the Warriors to a record of 12 wins and 4 losses.
Derrick Rose won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month.
Seeing Sun Yi hitting 40+ points in a row in March, Rose was obviously stimulated. He tried his best to compete for the regular season MVP.
In the March game, Rose averaged 28.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game, leading the Bulls to an excellent record of 13 wins and 3 losses.
With his outstanding performance in March, Rose overtook the second-ranked LeBron James, and the gap with Sun Yi is gradually narrowing.
At this stage, Sun Yi, Rose, and James are ranked in the top three in the MVP rankings, and the final result is still full of suspense.
The game in April is crucial to several of them and will determine who is the winner of this season's regular season MVP.
In addition, John Wall won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month in March.
The Western Conference Rookie of the Month goes to Blake Griffin.
After the honors are announced, the most critical month of April begins, and each team will face an extremely brutal playoff battle.
