No.1 in basketball scoring-Chapter 832 - 355. The corner no one cares about

Even on the eve of the Final Four in the madness tournament, the spotlight showdown between the Charlotte Bobcats and Chicago Bulls was extremely popular in North America.

The Bobcats put up 131 points against the Bulls’ defense, giving the fans a small shock wave.

Brad Miller with 4 assists, Millsap with 5 assists, Hill with 4 assists, Felton with 5 assists, Mike Miller with 3 assists; in this game, the four players serving as the organizational core for the Bobcats got 18 assists, and the team had 31 assists. It seemed as if fans were seeing the Kings of old that had Webber, Divac, Turkoglu, Bibby, Doug Christie!

Not many media outlets claimed that the Bulls played poorly or failed.

Instead, many media, experts, and fans found excuses for the Bulls’ loss, analyzing the various reasons for losing, suggesting that had certain aspects been better, the Bobcats might not have won.

The Bulls’ record of 59 wins and 13 losses still ranked them first in the league after the loss.

The arguments seem quite valid; the Bulls indeed have strong abilities. If they prepare for the highlighted aspects, they might really achieve them.

But precisely because of the Bulls’ strength, the Bobcats’ performance in this game appears even more dazzling — ending the Bulls fans’ ’Second 70-win Dream’ and pushing back the Bulls’ quest for their 60th win to next month!

The most dazzling of all was Zhang Yang with his 52-point game.

Under Luol Deng’s face-to-face defense, he scored two consecutive three-pointers, then set up an open three-point opportunity for Felton, with a 9-0 run that directly collapsed the Bulls who held on for three quarters!

This time with 50+, he reignited a topic that was hot before the All-Star Weekend — the single-game 40+ ranking.

Counting this game, Zhang Yang has reached 16 instances of 40+ this season, only 1 shy of another player, Iverson, whose career-high single-season record is 17 instances! fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

With 10 regular-season games left unplayed, Zhang Yang has a solid chance to surpass Iverson, becoming the third-highest player for single-season 40+ since entering the Modern Basketball Era in 1976!

First and second are Jordan and Kobe, which is unparalleled — Jordan’s highest at 37, Kobe’s at 30. Even if Zhang Yang matches Kobe’s feat with a one-month average of 40+ every game, it would still only total 26.

But surpassing Iverson is already incredible.

In the Modern Basketball Era, Jordan’s scoring prowess is unmatched, with one game of 40+ for every 6 games in his career, and this includes his time with the Wizards; excluding it, the ratio would be even higher.

Apart from Jordan, Iverson was also considered exceptional, being the only player besides Jordan capable of 15 instances of 40+ in a single season in the Modern Basketball Era, until the 02-03 season when Kobe averaged 30 points and achieved 19 instances of 40+, dropping Iverson to third.

Even so, Iverson’s 17 instances from the 00-01 season, where he played 71 games, has him leading other scoring aces by a wide margin, with McGrady’s 13 instances during the 02-03 season following behind.

A gap of 4 seems small, but it’s actually a vast gulf; Pierce, undoubtedly one of the top scoring players in the first decade of the 21st century, had his best scoring performance in the 05-06 season averaging 26.8 points, accomplishing 4 instances of 40+.

Of course, when the media hypes this topic, there’s a prerequisite — calculated as single-player stats.

If calculated by season averages, Jordan would occupy four of the top five spots in the Modern Basketball Era, with Kobe clinging to the second spot, leaving no room for others.

Another topic garnering similar acclaim as Zhang Yang’s potential to surpass Iverson’s highest single-season 40+ instances — this is his third time this season scoring 50+ in a single game!

Accomplishing 50+ once in a season might be seen as an anomaly.

Achieving 50+ twice showcases the potential for high scoring ability.

Three times 50+ is a different story.

Before this game, only two active players had done this: Iverson with 4 instances of 50+ in the 04-05 season and Kobe with 10 in the 06-07 season; no one else.

The other active players who have reached an average of 30+ points per game, McGrady and James, have had a maximum of only two instances of 50+ in a single season.

Zhang Yang becomes the third active player to have surpassed two 50+ games in a single season!

The saying ’The scoring talent of the bad boy is the best in history’ reappears online, with quite a few fans supporting this notion.

There are contrasting opinions, of course; fans of Jordan and Kobe firmly assert that their Boss has the top talent in history. But it’s just a debate.

Even Royal fans, when discussing ’The bad boy’s talent is historically the best,’ only try to prove that King has better talent, rather than refuting...

In a corner where no one pays attention, there is one saddened person.

After two games against the Pistons, Zhang Yang’s average score has dropped to 31.98 points.

James has been working hard for three weeks, exerting a lot of effort to push his average score from 30.9 up to 31.7 points, a gap shy of just 0.3 points behind Zhang Yang, seeing that if he puts in a few more games of thirty-seven or thirty-eight points, he might surpass Zhang Yang.

He hopes the Bulls will shut down Zhang Yang and have his scores fall below his average score again. If Zhang Yang scores around twenty-five or twenty-six points, his average score would drop another 0.1 points, lowering the difficulty for James to overtake.

Instead, Zhang Yang unexpectedly throws in a 50+ point game, sending his average score back up to 32.25 points.

The thing bothering him the most — nobody cares about this matter!

...

After playing against the Bulls, Zhang Yang returned with his team to Charlotte. After resting for a day, April 1st came, and a new month began.

Yesterday, he was delighted all day, surfing the internet, watching TV, reading newspapers, all sports-related media seemed to have praised him.

To gain fame through performance on the court — what basketball player doesn’t enjoy it? Even the straight-faced who gets praised privately smiles non-stop.
