Chapter 809: Thompson's first-quarter scoring record
"Huh!"
The Clippers' possession, what made the fans restless was that Klay Thompson hit another three-pointer!
In the first half of the game, Thompson only made 1 of 3 three-pointers, missed one two-point shot, and only scored three points.
And in the second half of the game, Thompson directly came to a three-point 4 of 5 and scored 12 points!
You know, there are nearly four minutes left until the end of the first quarter!
The devil knows how many points Thompson can score next.
……
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
In the next three offensive rounds of the Clippers, Thompson was two of three again, scoring 5 points, and the opposing Korver looked embarrassed, he felt that his defense was in place, but it was still difficult to stop Thompson's hot hand.
Larry Drew's face turned pale, he really couldn't stand this kind of game, and a Klay Thompson directly beat the Hawks out of temper.
If Thompson plays all kinds of tricks, like the peak Iverson, all kinds of breakthroughs and all kinds of tricks to score, then Larry Drew has nothing to say......
But now the key is that Thompson didn't have any work, just ran to catch the ball and shot, and as a result, the Hawks were defeated.
When will a player without the ball have such a deterrent?!
……
With the five points scored, Thompson had already scored a full 20 points in the first quarter, and under his leadership, the Clippers also played a three-point lead.
With 2:47 left in the first quarter, Richard replaced several players on the court, but continued to keep Thompson on the court.
With such a good feel, Richard naturally thought that Thompson could score more points.
The Clippers are missing a star who can make a splash, and there's no doubt that Thompson has that potential.
If you want to say who is the best man in this league to do miracles, then Klay Thompson can definitely be considered one of them.
Throughout his career, he has created many jaw-dropping miracles.
And tonight, sophomore Thompson should pull off the first miracle of his career.
……
"Huh!"
Another three-pointer, after the Clippers bench player came on the court, he also saw that Richard wanted Thompson to shoot more, so he passed the ball to Thompson as much as possible.
And Thompson continued the hot hand just now, lived up to expectations, and hit a three-pointer again.
The score in a single quarter has reached 23 points!
"Defend!"
"Help defend him!" Larry Drew couldn't stand this situation anymore and yelled at the court.
Josh Smith is still on the court, and at this moment he is also starting to help Korver pack Thompson.
Such a bag of clips did have a big impact on Thompson, at least he couldn't find so much comfortable space to shoot.
But even so, in the last two minutes or so, Thompson still relied on a three-pointer and five of two free throws to improve his single-quarter score to 28 points.
"DUANG......" The first quarter ended with Thompson's final three-point shot in the first quarter.
Thompson scored 28 points on 8-of-13 three-pointers, 1-of-3 on two-pointers and 2-of-2 on outside free throws in the first quarter.
On the other hand, on the Hawks' side, they only scored a total of 27 points in a single quarter, which is not as much as Thompson alone.
……
At the end of the first quarter, the players from both sides began to rest, and the fans in the stadium stood up and applauded Thompson's amazing performance in the first quarter.
The players sitting on the bench also got up to congratulate Thompson.
28 points in a single quarter, for a second-year rookie, is absolutely a miracle, at least in Richard's impression, no sophomore rookie can play such a single-quarter scoring data.
"Clay, you kid is really a god, I can't describe your performance in this game now." Sun Yue's face was full of joy and said to Thompson.
"It's definitely a performance that goes down in history, and there's definitely a place for you on this year's All-Star." Horford couldn't help but admire.
"Congratulations, Clay." Leonard, who has never spoken much, is also a rare hello to Thompson at this moment.
Being praised by everyone like this, Thompson scratched his head a little shyly, he never thought that he could play such a performance, scoring 28 points in a single quarter? Even he himself was scared.
Just as everyone was congratulating Thompson, the voice of "discord" rang out.
Richard cleared his throat.
"Don't be proud, Klay, it's only 28 points in a single quarter!"
"Man, do you know what your limit score is going to be in my mind?" Richard asked.
The Clippers will be stunned, only 28 points in a single quarter?! God, how many people in the entire history of the NBA can put up a 28-point performance in a single quarter? That's all?!
But when they heard Richard's next sentence, everyone pricked up their ears and listened, and even Thompson was curious about what his limit single-quarter score was in Richard's eyes.
"40 points!"
"Your limit in my eyes is 40 points in a single quarter! Otherwise, why do you think I'm going to pick you with the best draft pick we've had with the Clippers in years?! ”
As soon as these words came out, the Clippers will fry the pot directly, 40 points in a single quarter? This is probably a terrifying statistic that cannot be played even in the jersey of God.
Seeing that the generals exclaimed, their faces were all joking with Richard's expressions, and Richard couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If I wasn't a time-traveling person, I'm afraid I would look like a general right now.
Under normal circumstances, Klay Thompson has the highest single-quarter scoring record in the entire NBA history, that is, 37 points in a single quarter!
A terrifying single-quarter scoring record that no one can match.
This is what Thompson can really do in the first quarter, but what about his limits? It was certainly not 37 points, which Richard added to 40 points.
In his opinion, as long as Thompson feels good enough and gives Thompson enough ball, 40 points in a single quarter may not be impossible.
……
Just when the Clippers were surprised, a slogan was displayed on the big screen above the arena.
Congratulations to Klay Thompson for breaking the NBA's all-time first-quarter scoring record.
Listed below are a few of the players who scored super well in the first quarter.
Thompson's 28 points in the first quarter set the record for the most points scored in the first quarter.
And the original first quarter scorer, named Woshan Leonard, played 26 points in the first quarter against the Warriors in the 03-04 season when he played for the Nuggets, ranking first in history.
Now Thompson has directly broken this record that has been in the dust for nearly ten years.
The generals cheered again, and the fans at the scene also cheered for Thompson frantically.
Richard blinked, he didn't expect Thompson to break the record with a first-quarter score of "only" 28 points.
Speaking of which, everyone else was quite surprised by Thompson's performance in the first quarter, but Richard was not surprised at all, and even a little dissatisfied......
If Thompson's accuracy is a little better, he will be able to break through the 30-point mark, and the current 28 points in a single quarter is actually not too exciting in Richard's impression.
It won't take many years for this first-quarter scoring statistic to be broken by the 34-point pot in the first quarter, and McCollum, one of the Trail Blazers' future backcourt doubles, also scored 28 points in the first quarter.
And that's just the first quarter, and if you take the whole game into account, Thompson's 28 points in a single quarter is hard to rank in the entire NBA history.
Melon Anthony scored 33 points in a single quarter in the 08-09 season.
And Kobe Bryant alone currently has two 30-point performances in a single quarter, and a 28-point performance in a single quarter, as for the data of more than 20 points in a single quarter, it can't be counted at all.
Older players, such as Chamberlain Chamberlain, had a 31-point performance in a single quarter, David Thompson of Skywalker had 32 points in a single quarter, and George the Iceman had 33 points in a single quarter......
It's just that none of these data were played in the first quarter, so the current scoring record in the first quarter was really won by Thompson with 28 points.
……
When Thompson heard Richard say that his limit was 40 points, he was first shocked in his heart, and then he thought about it carefully, as if what Richard said was not entirely fantastical.
I made 13 three-point shots in this game, and if I hit them all, wouldn't this be 39 points, and is it really that difficult to break 40?!
If Richard knew that Thompson had such thoughts, he would probably vomit blood, and this kid would have started to think about 13 three-pointers in a single quarter.
……
"Coach, you're right, one day, I'll play a 40-point performance in a single quarter!" Thompson was a rare "brave" and said confidently to Richard.
Richard clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, you have to have this kind of courage!" ”
……
At the beginning of the second quarter, seeing Thompson break the scoring record in the first quarter, the Hawks had some pain.
This is not a good thing, in the future, when people mention Thompson's first-quarter scoring record, it is estimated that it will pull the Hawks out of the whip, just like Woshan-Leonard's original first-quarter scoring record, and the Warriors will be pulled out of the whip on the big screen......
Now that the record has been broken, there is nothing the Eagles can do to change this fact, and the only thing they can do is to stare at Thompson in this game and not give him a chance to continue to break the record.
If another record is broken in the second quarter, it is estimated that the Hawks players will definitely be embarrassed.
