Chapter 423 Another record, surpassing Kobe's 61 points!
After a short halftime break, the third quarter began as scheduled.
The Knicks continued to double-team Wang Xiucheng relentlessly, trying to minimize his touches on the ball.
Wang Xiucheng was happy to enjoy this treatment.
Brunson stayed close to Wang Xiucheng, while Hart, Grimes, or Barrett were always standing not far from Wang Xiucheng, keeping watch.
This makes it easy for the Nets to get open looks.
Both Westbrook and Benciunas have the ability to pass the ball to open spaces.
With six minutes remaining in the third quarter, the Nets' lead had returned to 20 points.
Nash called a timeout.
Firstly, it was time for a timeout, and secondly, he was preparing to make a substitution.
It seems like the game is over, so there's no need for Durant to play for so long.
Compared to Westbrook and Wang Xiucheng, Durant is relatively fragile.
Moreover, Nash also wanted to see if Wang Xiucheng could set another record on this court.
Nash looked up at Wang Xiucheng's data on the big screen.
It's already 51 points!
Nash remembers that Wang Xiucheng's scoring record was 53 points, achieved in a 128-86 victory over the Wizards.
Wang Xiucheng has already scored 51 points today, and with his ability, scoring 53 points is definitely not a problem.
Nash even thought Wang Xiucheng had a chance to set a new record at Madison Square Garden!
The pause ended quickly.
Durant and Westbrook were substituted out, and the Nets were once again led by Wang Xiucheng alone.
Benxi plays point guard to relieve Wang Xiucheng of the ball-handling pressure.
Other players include Seth Curry, Zeng Fanbo, Isaiah Thomas, and center Sharp.
Two minutes into the game, Wang Xiucheng finally made another three-pointer.
He brought his score to 54 points.
This is also a new record for Wang Xiucheng himself.
The dome screen started flashing again, indicating that another record had been set.
The audience stood up and applauded again, interspersed with jerks' whistles.
Some children have even become somewhat numb, clapping absentmindedly while eating snacks.
Of course, there were bound to be some boos from the audience.
With the game down to the last minute, Wang Xiucheng, who had been tightly marked, finally got the ball.
Starting from the backcourt, Wang Xiucheng dribbled between his legs and turned, completing a smooth sequence of movements before finding himself behind Brunson.
And Wang Xiucheng's foot had just crossed the center line.
Wang Xiucheng, who suddenly slowed down, was rear-ended by Brunson from behind and hit on the back.
Brunson, having anticipated this, reached out from behind to hug Wang Xiucheng, not wanting him to have a chance to shoot.
Even though he knew very well that Wang Xiucheng had just crossed the center line and was still at least 5 meters away from the three-point line.
No normal person could shoot from this spot.
However, as I said before, this league is not short of abnormal people.
Whether it's LeBron James, Stephen Curry, or even Trae Young, the "Mayor of New York City," they all love shooting here.
Wang Xiucheng is that kind of person too.
Therefore, Brunson immediately took decisive measures after realizing he had been deceived by Wang Xiucheng.
But, it's too late.
Using the momentum from Brunson's "rear-end collision" from behind, Wang Xiucheng jumped and threw the basketball.
The moment his feet left the ground, the basketball slipped from Wang Xiucheng's hands, and he was caught by Brunson.
The referee held up three fingers, then watched the basketball fly toward the basket.
The basketball flew out in a very high parabola.
It looks like the highest point is even higher than the top edge of the backboard.
Swish!
The basketball slammed into the net like a cannonball!
beep!
The referee only blew the whistle at this point.
Brunson committed a foul, and Wang Xiucheng needs to take an additional free throw!
Brunson raised his hands, accepting the consequences of the foul.
But his head was shaking like a rattle.
He didn't know how to stop Wang Xiucheng tonight.
Brunson never played against Kobe, so he doesn't know if his Knicks predecessor felt as desperate as he does now on the night Kobe scored 61 points!
Brunson looked up at Anthony on the sidelines.
He really wanted to ask Anthony, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Bang!
Wang Xiucheng missed his free throw.
This was also the first free throw Wang Xiucheng missed tonight.
With a snap, the basketball was slapped towards the top of the key by Ben West.
Wang Xiucheng, who was still standing at the free throw line, jumped up immediately and intercepted the basketball with one hand.
Before the ball even landed, Wang Xiucheng tossed it toward the basket with one hand.
Swish!
The ball goes in.
Wang Xiucheng's throw caused him to lose his balance and stumble backward several steps.
Brunson instinctively gave Wang Xiucheng a hug from behind, then realized what was happening and, with a touch of arrogance, pushed Wang Xiucheng away again.
Wang Xiucheng used this strength to gain a foothold.
Then Wang Xiucheng smiled and stepped back.
Benxi, extremely excited, swung his arms and ran towards Wang Xiucheng.
It was as if he had scored the goal himself.
A collective gasp rippled through the stadium.
Wang Xiucheng has already scored 59 points!
And there's still a whole quarter left in the game, so scoring 61 points is just too easy!
beep!
The referee blew the whistle to end the third quarter.
Wang Xiucheng scored another 14 points in the third quarter.
The total score has reached 59 points!
The Nets are now leading their opponents by 21 points, 101-80.
Wang Xiucheng returned to the bench, plopped down in a chair, and took a deep breath.
A cameraman with a balancing device around his waist was filming Wang Xiucheng up close with his camera.
Tonight is destined to be Wang Xiucheng's night of recording; no matter how much footage of Wang Xiucheng is recorded, it will never be enough.
"Want to play a little longer?"
Nash asked Wang Xiucheng.
In a normal game, if the Nets have a significant lead, like today, Nash usually lets Wang Xiucheng rest for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
But today is clearly a special day.
Wang Xiucheng nodded.
Wang Xiucheng knew that this record did not belong to him.
It belongs to the Nets, not the Nets.
So he didn't refuse out of politeness.
After resting for less than three minutes, Wang Xiucheng stood up again, donned his armor, and went back into battle.
Then, three minutes into the game, Wang Xiucheng broke through to the inside and scored with a high lob.
The whistle blew the moment the basketball went through the net.
Randall fouled!
Wang Xiucheng was pulled to the ground by Randall.
Wang Xiucheng didn't wait for anyone to come and help him up; instead, he got up on his own and stood directly on the free-throw line.
The fans all stood up and applauded, and the chant of "MVP" rang out again in unison.
Swish!
Amidst these voices, Wang Xiucheng was punished and advanced.
Three points scored successfully.
Wang Xiucheng's score finally reached 62 points.
Officially broke Kobe's record of 61 points on this court!
