Chapter 409 My goal is victory
Artest naturally didn't want to do it, but before he could say a few words to the referee, the referee stepped back, and then if you pester me again, I would give you a technical foul expression. Artest naturally didn't believe in this evil, but his teammates couldn't watch him take another technical foul and drag him aside.
A normal foul was not even a free throw, and since Brad Miller took the action first, the Supersonics continued to serve and attack. Artest was so angry that he saw Stephen picking the ball, he came over without saying anything, and his defense was particularly strong.
However, the referee did not care about him because he had suffered a little loss just now, and this was also the Kings' home court. Although he was a little bit more towards Stephen, Stephen's recent hot referee is not unaware of it. For such a player who is in the limelight, the referee dared not rashly to make a penalty.
On the one hand, the league is in good condition for such players. It is precisely with such magical performance that the league can be promoted globally. With Stephen's hot performance recently, the hot sales of the Supersonics' broadcast rights are proof of this.
On the other hand, the referee also needs to consider the reactions of the fans. If he punished Stephen severely, he might be welcomed by the fans on the spot. However, at the same time, he also needs to consider the reactions of the fans who watched this game on TV. For creating a new historical record, the referee also likes to see it.
Under various factors, although it was at the Kings' home court, the referee did not favor the home team, especially when it came to Stephen, Artest's actions could be permitted. Stephen was particularly annoyed by him, but he also knew that the safety of the team now depends on himself. If he could not control his temper, once he took action, he would definitely be suspended for a long time because of his criminal record. At that time, the team suffered a loss.
In the end, Stephen decided to fight back to a limit, and flew a elbow while getting rid of the defense. However, Artest was prepared for this and hurriedly dodged back and avoided it. At the same time, he was ready to call the referee to watch. However, Stephen also expected this situation and immediately took it back quickly. Then as soon as he accelerated, he reached a position within the free throw line.
The referee also saw what happened between the two people, and he kept watching here. Stephen's flying elbow was certainly a foul, but Artest's initial movement was not as bright as it was, so his accusation was not strong, and Stephen took it very quickly. He did not interfere because of the principle of favorable attack.
The referee at the bottom line felt that it was time to blow, so he signaled, but the referee shook his head and rejected his proposal. Seeing that Stephen was about to enter the basket and scored, Mickey Moore had to stand up and stop Stephen and hit the ball off Stephen's hand.
Stephen quickly grabbed the ball from the ground again, and Mickey Moore took another move, this time he hit Stephen's hand, and the referee came over and gave him a foul, and then gave Stephen two free throws. As Stephen easily made both free throws, his score in this game also reached forty-nine points.
Seeing Stephen almost tied the record set by Kobe last season, he scored 50 points in four consecutive games. All the fans were full of expectations, including the fans of the Kings. At this time, they had no expectations for the victory of this game. What they expected was to be participants in such a historical record.
You should know that even if it is 50 plus points in three consecutive games, it is unknown if Chamberlain's record deducted. From Elgin Baylor to Jordan, the time span is 30 years, and from Jordan to Kobe, the span is 10 years. Stephen got 50 plus points in three consecutive games after one season, which made David Stern feel that the grand occasion of the league is coming.
For four consecutive games, only Kobe was able to do it except Chamberlain. After one season, Stephen could break it. In fact, it was only half a year before, which naturally made the fans very excited and looking forward to it.
But just like good things are getting worse, Stephen's two consecutive shots were gone, but the two of them were shot to assist Durant and Cooperd, so Stephen stopped taking action and focused on assisting his teammates.
Ah? Many people screamed in surprise. Could it be that Stephen doesn't want to get a 50 plus point? You know, it's only one point away from fifty. However, the Kings players like this situation very much. Stephen doesn't score. Although the Kings are still behind and the difference is still expanding, they still focus on Stephen alone. Today they made up their minds not to let Stephen get a 50.
Seeing the game pass by minute by minute, it is more than two minutes away from the end of the game. The Supersonics have already led by more than ten points. However, since the Kings do not replace the main player, the Supersonics will not replace the main player in advance. Although Calesimo is anxious for Stephen, there is no way. The team cannot still lead. Just ask for a timeout to make Stephen score. That is too obvious.
But just when no one expected it, Stephen suddenly scored. As soon as he received a pass from Watson, Stephen jogged two steps and suddenly stopped. Everyone thought he was looking for his teammate's position. Even Artest did not stick to it, but Stephen suddenly jumped and took action at one meter off the three-point line.
The ball kept spinning and rolling in the air. The moment it flew out of Stephen's hand, the camera's lens was aimed at it, and everyone was waiting to see if it would fly into the basket. Only Stephen started to hold his hands high, but his eyes didn't even look.
With a "bang", the ball hit the rebound. Wilcox, Cooperd, Brad Miller and others under the basket all jumped up one after another, preparing to grab the rebound, but the ball bounced directly into the basket, then penetrated through the rope net and landed heavily on the ground.
Fifty-two points, Stephen's score was quickly displayed on the big screen, but Stephen's score did not end here. Mike Bibby was in a daze and dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Watling. Then Watson passed it directly to Stephen. After Stephen got the ball, he directly rushed to the empty basket in one-stop form, jumped and scored with one-hand dunk.
Fifty-four points, as the Kings replaced the main players one step ahead, Calesimo also replaced Stephen and others. It would be enough to get 50 points. It doesn’t matter how much more points are, and the main players are all out, and you are still on the field to score, which is suspected of scoring data.
After four consecutive games, the news quickly spread to major media and major websites. While they were excited, they also made them very depressed. They had already praised it so hard last time, so how should they praise it this time? I knew that I wouldn't say it was so exaggerated last time, but there was no regret medicine in the world, so they had to rack their brains to continue thinking.
In the media interview after the game, when a reporter asked what he felt about winning the feat of 50 in a row, Stephen said: "My goal is to win, and the score is only second." After that, he went to celebrate with his teammates.
