The cheers at the scene grew louder and louder, and even affected the normal progress of the game, and the referee had to suspend the game.
"Five-double, my God, what did I see? The first five-double in history was born! Is there something wrong with statistics? In modern basketball, someone can actually have a five-double. If you don't see it with your own eyes, Wow, I really can’t believe it! I’m really lucky now to be able to commentate on such a wonderful matchup!” Barkley gushed in the ESPN studio.
The broadcast camera swept across the audience, and everyone was cheering. Even the Hollywood stars in the VIP seats were shouting crazily.
Outside the Staples Center, fans who had no chance to enter the stadium celebrated even more unscrupulously. Even the police who maintained order joined the celebrants.
In front of the TV, even though they were thousands of miles apart, the audience was infected by the rich atmosphere of the scene. Many people couldn't help but start dancing and cheering.
At this moment, Zhang Guan not only conquered the audience in Los Angeles, but also the audience in the United States and basketball fans around the world.
At this moment, Zhang Guan definitely deserves the word "great". His title as the number one active player in the NBA is undisputed. Many people even think that Zhang Guan is the number one player in NBA history.
"Five pairs! Zhang Guan actually did it!" Kobe took a breath, and at this moment he was convinced by Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan scored 101 points before, which was not enough to completely convince Kobe. After all, Kobe was a person who had scored 81 points. He felt that if he had given himself more chances to shoot during his peak period, he could have scored 100 points.
However, the data of five-doubles is different. Kobe knew that even at his peak, it was impossible to achieve five-doubles. Kobe knew that not only himself, but even Jordan at his peak and even Chamberlain at that time could not achieve a five-double.
Five-double data includes points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Scores, rebounds and assists are the three necessary data. For top inside players, ten blocks is not difficult; for top defenders , can do it even with ten steals. But if you ask the inside players to steal ten times, or ask the defender to block ten shots, it will be difficult. What's more, other data also need to be in double figures.
A five-double represents true omnipotence. In terms of difficulty, a five-double is more difficult than scoring 100 points in a single game. At least Chamberlain has achieved 100 points in a single game. If there are enough shots, I believe there will be other scorers who can do it. As for the five-double data, no one has ever achieved it.
"Five-double, how is this possible? How can someone get a five-double!" James' eyes widened with horror on his face. At this time, he was no longer interested in playing, not to mention that the current score was 118 to 110, a gap of 8 points. With less than a minute of game time, James had no hope of victory.
James knew that what he faced today was a god-like opponent. He couldn't help but look at his teammates. Although these teammates were all excellent, they were no longer enough to help him win the championship again. Every year, Every time these teammates get a year older, the Heat are further away from the championship.
"I need stronger teammates! We have to reinforce!" This thought flashed through James' mind, but when he thought of the Heat's boss Mitch Arison, he felt that reinforcement was actually a matter of It doesn’t rely on general knowledge.
The Heat's largest shareholder is Carnival Cruise Line, and the group's president, Mitch Arison, is also the Heat's boss. Arison has assets of 6 billion US dollars, but he does not want to pay luxury tax for the Heat, so the Heat do not have any important signings.
Of course, Arison cannot be entirely blamed for the Heat's lack of reinforcements. The high salaries of the Big Three are also one of the reasons that hinder the Heat's recruitment. Taking James as an example, his annual salary was 14.5 million US dollars the season he first entered the Heat. It rose to 16.02 million U.S. dollars, and to 17.55 million U.S. dollars in the third year. The annual salary this season is 19.07 million. Bosh's annual salary is the same as James's, and Wade's is about 400,000 less than them. The salary of these three people alone accounts for 70% of the entire team's salary.
…
The game restarted with less than a minute remaining. Although the Heat are 8 points behind, they have the advantage of serving from the front court. If they can score a three-pointer and reduce the point difference to 5 points, it is not completely impossible.
But Zhang Guan's quintuple-double was a huge blow to the morale of the Heat players. It immediately made the Heat players a little unwilling to compete. In fact, for most of the Heat players, they were not interested in the championship. Not as eager as two years ago.
Compared with last year and even the year before, this year's Heat team has not changed much in its lineup. At least the main lineup should not have changed. These players have all won championships with the Heat. For them, it would be great to get another championship ring, but if they really can't get it, it wouldn't be a pity.
People are like this. When they don't get it, they crave it so much that they are even willing to give everything. But once they get it, they don't cherish it so much.
Therefore, in the NBA, it is easy for a team to win the championship in one year, and it is common for a team to pursue the victory and win the second consecutive year. However, it is very difficult to win the championship for three consecutive years. In the third year, it is difficult to guarantee that the team will continue to maintain the high fighting spirit of the first two years. So when people talk about Jordan, they call him "great" because leading the team to two three-game winning streaks is really difficult in the modern NBA league.
The Heat served in the frontcourt. After Wade missed a three-pointer, Gasol grabbed the defensive rebound. The Heat didn't even foul and allowed the Lakers to pass the ball to Zhang Guan. At this time, Coach Spoelstra's The shout made the Lakers realize that it was time to foul.
Zhang Guan made both free throws, and then Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, followed by a new round of foul tactics.
Time was slowly passing by. When there were 20 seconds left, Zhang Guan once again stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, widening the point difference to 7 points. The Heat were completely desperate.
James made the Heat's last attack of the game, but the ball did not go in. After the Lakers grabbed the rebound, the Heat did not choose to foul. They had given up the game.
Finally, the sound of the end of the game sounded.
"Win! We won! Championship!"
All the players of the Lakers rushed to the court at the same time. Each of their eyes looked like crazy people, and their faces were full of excitement. They could finally enjoy the fruits of victory!
For the Lakers, this season has indeed experienced too many ups and downs. From Howard's departure, Kobe's injury, to a series of injuries to other players, the team couldn't even make up five people to play. With a record of 16 wins and 31 losses, the Lakers were second to last in the Western Conference. At that time, the Lakers were really good at everything. bully.
When everyone thought it was impossible for the Lakers to enter the playoffs, Zhang Guan arrived. With a record of 34 wins and 1 loss, they caught up with the last train of the playoffs and reached eighth place in the Western Conference on the last day of the playoffs. Advancing to the playoffs, they created a miracle.
In the first round of the subsequent playoffs, the Lakers trailed the Spurs 0-3. When everyone thought the Lakers had been eliminated, they miraculously won four consecutive games and came back. They created another miracle.
Today, the Lakers defeated the Heat in the finals and won the championship. They staged a good show of "Black Eight wins the championship"!
At this moment, D'Antoni even hugged his head and cried. As the head coach of the Lakers, D'Antoni has indeed experienced too many ups and downs this season. He has endured too much pressure, and he finally released it at this time.
This is the first championship in his coaching career! He has been coaching for many years and finally tasted the championship!
"The Lakers won, maybe it's not surprising. When they beat the Spurs, the Lakers' odds of winning the championship were among the top five. And when they beat the Thunder, we all know that the Lakers are a team with a total A strong team with championship potential. But in February of this year, did anyone think that the Los Angeles Lakers would finally win the championship trophy?"
The TV commentator paused and then continued: "For the Lakers, they have experienced a magical season, a season full of miracles. In this season, they have indeed created too many incredible things. And all of this is Zhang Guan brought it! There has never been a star who can do this, bring a team back to life, and then sit on the throne of the championship."
"Single-handedly leading the Lakers to the championship, the comeback from a 3-0 deficit, the highest score in NBA history with 101 points in a single game, and the five-double we just witnessed, coupled with this championship ring, I think If I call Zhang Guan the number one player in the NBA, no one will object! Or maybe, we should call him the number one player in history?"
…
"The first man in history! This hat is a bit big. There are too many superstars in NBA history. They have all led an era. Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, Bird, Olajuwon , and Jordan!" Bass said with a smile.
"I don't think so. Statistically speaking, Chamberlain's 100 points have been surpassed by him, and these players who are leading the era have never had five-doubles. More importantly, he allowed us to win the championship! Kupchak paused and then said: "If it were Jordan, could he lead us into the playoffs? Starting from 16 wins and 31 wins!"
"I think it should be possible..." Bass said uncertainly.
"When we were behind 0-3 to the Spurs, could Jordan lead us to a comeback?" Kupchak then asked.
Bass hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "I don't know. After all, they are players from two eras."
"Yes, they belong to different eras. If you compare Zhang Guan and Jordan now, it will inevitably lead to controversy. But Zhang Guan is better at creating miracles!" Kupchak looked at Zhang Guan and continued: "But people The easiest thing to remember is a miracle! Maybe a few years later, people will only have one name left in their memory of Jordan, but when they talk about Zhang Guan, they can still remember the 101 points and five-double data in a single game! By then , he will become the 'first person in history' in people's hearts!"
