287: Barkley-like player (4.7K)(1/3)
7 points, the game time is only more than 1 minute.
If the Lakers cannot overtake or equalize the score, this will be their last minute of the season.
When the Trail Blazers officially announced that Paolo would miss the rest of the season, most people thought the game would go to a tiebreaker.
But today, the Trail Blazers clearly wanted to end the series.
They wouldn't give the Lakers a chance to push the game into a seventh game.
At this time, the large TV screen in the fans' homes was divided into two parts: left and right.
ESPN also gave Kobe and Wayne a close-up and included their stats so far.
Kobe Bryant has already scored 44 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. In the fourth quarter, Kobe was like a god, scoring all kinds of fake balls.
Wayne currently has 36 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks.
Although he didn't score as many points as Kobe, you can see Wayne's presence on both the offensive and defensive ends.
His active sweep of defense, active fighting and exquisite passing were all the main reasons why the Blazers were still ahead by 7 points.
As the game progressed, even Lord Barkley, who always had a playful smile, began to frown.
Although Wayne's three statistics of points, assists and rebounds are not particularly exaggerated when viewed individually.
But when these three items are added together, it’s a bit remarkable.
Wayne is still 4 points away from scoring 40. This means that Wayne is very likely to score a 40-point triple-double.
Well, a 40-point triple-double in the playoffs.
Barkley had achieved such data in the Battle of Tianwangshan in the 1993 Western Conference Finals.
At that time, the Western Conference finals between the Suns and the SuperSonics were also quite brutal. Just like this year, no one was able to win two consecutive games over the other.
So in the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, Barkley scored a super triple-double of 43 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, leading the Suns to defeat the SuperSonics.
And that year, the Suns finally made it to the Finals.
It's just a pity that Barkley's opponent is Michael Jordan who is in his prime.
At that time, Barkley's 40-point triple-double in the playoffs was very sensational.
Because there were only two people who had obtained this data before him - Oscar Robertson and LOGO man Jerry West.
Barkley is third.
But West and Robertson, those are people from ancient times.
As we all know, the NBA at that time was very different from now, so any exaggerated statistics could be made.
But Barkley was different. Within the framework of modern basketball, he scored a 40-point triple-double in a game with a strong opponent like Tianwangshan in the Western Conference Finals.
The degree of shock can be understood.
Since then, sure enough, neither Jordan nor Kobe has been able to create another miracle like Barkley.
A 40-point triple-double in the playoffs has become a record that has been sealed in the corner of history.
To this day, Wayne dusted off history and dug up this record again.
So, Barkley was stunned.
No one understands better than him how difficult it is to achieve a 40-point triple-double in the playoffs.
To score 40 points means that you will definitely take a lot of shots.
And getting double-digit assists under such circumstances is a contradictory thing.
You are both the end point and the organizing point.
Moreover, your teammates must still be able to score after receiving the ball.
Barkley was able to get 10 assists and was inseparable from his teammate, then All-Star guard Dan Marley.
In that game, Dan Marley made 8 of 10 three-pointers, an astonishing shooting percentage.
Many times, when Barkley passes the ball to him, it is an assist.
Many of his 10 assists came from Marley.
If it weren't for Marly's accuracy that night, Barkley's assists would never have reached double digits.
Lord Barker's triple-double is a bit of luck.
But today, among Wayne's teammates, no one is particularly accurate.
His assists really come from his excellent organization.
In terms of assists, Wayne's gold content is much higher than Barkley's.
So, if Wayne can score a 40-point triple-double...
Barkley didn't even dare to think about it. It doesn't matter if I don't have a ring. Now you want to fight for this kind of record from me!?
Wayne, can you leave a way for us older generations to survive!
Of course, the players fighting on the court at this time have not yet thought about recording a 40-point triple-double.
Including Wayne himself, he doesn't even care much about his own data.
He only knows that he must do his best to win this game and not repeat the Trail Blazers' old path seven years ago.
Moreover, a 40-point triple-double was not unusual in Wayne's opinion, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, in that era of data explosion, Mouss had scored 40-point triple-doubles many times in the playoffs.
But for fans of this era, a 40-point triple-double in the playoffs is simply a miracle!
Now, in addition to Barkley, many commentators and fans have also discovered that there is something wrong with Wayne's data.
That No. 99 still doesn’t know how dominant a game he played.
"Beep~~~"
The buzzer sounded and players from both teams returned to the court.
Kobe remained calm on the surface, but actually he was already panicking!
He played like this in the fourth quarter and couldn't get the score back.
Can this last minute or so really create a miracle?
On the Trail Blazers side, Wayne and Gasol are still full of energy.
In terms of momentum, the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers!
After the game started, Kobe continued to attack. This time, the Lakers passed the ball several times but failed to find a suitable offensive opportunity.
Until the last 4 seconds, the ball was passed to Kobe.
At this time, Posey stood in front of Kobe with his arms raised high. As long as he didn't foul, the defense would definitely succeed this time!
As a result, Kobe Bryant forced a three-pointer close to Posey and made the ball without any chance.
Percy opened his mouth wide and looked confused.
Brother Wei is not a human being, and neither are you!
I really resisted the gods with a mortal body!
How to defend against this kind of ball?
Percy wanted to ask how else he could defend himself!?
Both arms are already raised high, and they are so close to the body.
Come on!
Come on!
Very advanced!
Get a haircut!
After the result, Wayne also scored a difficult three-threat mid-range shot under the interference of Odom, scoring 38 points in a single game!
Odom: ...
At this time, in the crowd, Odom and Posey looked at each other.
At that moment, they all felt that each other was so kind...
Percy: Brother, I understand your pain.
Odangdang: Brother, it’s really hard to make a living now! You’ve lost all your dignity!
The two almost hugged each other with tears in their eyes.
The score difference is 5 points, and the Lakers still have a chance.
But in the next attack, Kobe's difficult pull shot came out of the frame due to Gasol's interference.
Kobe's time in the air on this shot was obviously not as good as before. It can be seen that Kobe has been completely squeezed out.
To be continued...
