Chapter 517 The First in History! The Only One in History! At Most Only 1 Left
Chapter 517 First in history! The only one in history! The Bobcats and Jordan, who at most only had a leaf left to cover their shame!
"Here he comes! Lin's here again! I knew it! Hahaha! Lin's here again! I knew he'd definitely play!" Barkley cheered again, raising his arms. "Lin didn't disappoint his fans this time!"
"I knew it. Once he chooses to aim for historic data, he'll go all out until he gets it. He won't stop until he does! Lin is the kind of person who will never leave anyone with any reason to criticize him."
"He won't give anyone any chance to say things like he 'wanted it but didn't get it' or 'was shameless but still didn't get it'."
"So, Lin, go for it! Go get some data that no one can touch!"
On the court, the Knicks did not make any substitutions, sticking with the same five-man lineup. Gentry was determined to continue setting a new record for the most players scoring in double figures on a single team in a single game!
The records for single-game net points and single-game high assists belong to Lin Tian and the players, but if the Knicks players can achieve the record for the most players scoring in double figures in a single game under his coaching, then that record belongs to him as the coach!
No matter when he becomes head coach, Gentry will have to add a few things to his resume!
Keep it for later.
As the fourth quarter began, Barkley continued to showcase his limited vocabulary, cheering and celebrating Lin Tian's return. Then, on the very first possession after the start of the game, Lin Tian drove to the Bobcats' basket with a layup, scoring his 40th point!
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
"Go, Lin! Three more assists!"
"Shoot the ball into the basket, everyone!"
"Bring Amar'e and Carmelo on! Let them help Lin get assists!"
Surprisingly, Lin Tian's blatant data padding and lingering during garbage time did not draw any dislike or boos from the away fans. Instead, countless fans cheered him on and encouraged him.
Fans are hoping that Lin Tian can deliver a historic performance!
If you break the record, we'll support you!
We want to be a part of history, we want to witness history firsthand, we want to experience this moment!
This is what the Bobcats fans at the stadium were thinking!
Lin Tian certainly wouldn't let them down!
In the next three minutes, Lin Tian assisted Ward, Muhammad, and Svitney to score points.
After Sweetney's thunderous dunk, Barkley couldn't contain himself any longer and continued to roar, "30 times! Lin did it! 30 assists! Second in NBA history! The last player to dish out 30 assists in a single game was Scott Skiles!"
On December 30, 1990, Skiles, playing for the Orlando Magic, recorded 30 assists in a single game, becoming the NBA's all-time leader in assists for a single game!
"Now, Lin has tied! Lin has tied Skiles' record of 30 assists, becoming one of the NBA's all-time leaders in assists in a single game!"
"Lin also scored 40 points! Skiles only managed 22 points that night! Tonight, Lin not only tied Skiles' assists, but also scored almost twice as many points!"
"40 points and 30 assists! An epic stat line! Let's remember this night!"
"I have to say, Charles," Kenny said from the side, "it's not time to cheer yet, nor is it time to remember this record."
"Lin hasn't gone down yet! He's still continuing!"
"Lin is clearly not content with just tying Skiles' record! Lin's goal is absolutely to surpass the limit, to exceed 30 assists! He definitely wants to be number one! He wants to hold the record for the only one!"
"The game continues! Ward receives a pass from Lin and shoots...miss, what a pity!"
"Sweetney...missed too! Knicks players need to step up! We can't let the Knicks' starters come up for the final shot at a time like this!"
As Barkley continued to express his regret, Lin Tian made several consecutive passes, but his teammates failed to score.
This incredibly simple assist went on for three minutes without actually being delivered!
With the fourth quarter almost halfway through, there were only 6 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game!
At this point, whenever the game goes into a dead ball situation, whenever the basketball goes out of bounds, and whenever Gentry stands up on the sidelines, the fans and commentators get a little nervous.
They were all worried that Lin would be replaced!
It would be such a shame to be substituted when the game has come to this point!
If we miss this chance, who knows if we'll ever get another one!
No, it's more about whether there will be a next time; that's hard to say!
"Go for it, Lin!"
"Put that damn ball in!"
"Let Amaree finish this off!"
"Go for it! 31 assists! Go for it!"
"The last time!" Amid the Charlotte fans' undisguised defection, Lin Tian held up one finger and said, "The last round! Whether I get an assist or not, I'll be going to rest this round."
As Lin Tian spoke, he dribbled the ball toward the frontcourt.
His words made several people on the field extremely nervous.
Some people even prayed that Lin Tian wouldn't give the ball to them.
Just kidding, if they catch the ball and miss, preventing their own leader from breaking the historical record, who knows if they'll be held accountable later?
He might get traded to some godforsaken place like Milwaukee or Cleveland first thing tomorrow morning because he stepped onto the plane with his left foot first.
The best approach is to avoid taking responsibility and not receive the ball!
Despite their fear, the players still made their runs, screened for each other, and executed their tactics flawlessly.
However, the Knicks players' actions were clearly unnecessary.
They originally thought that Lin Tian would be very careful and meticulous in carrying out this attack, and would only pass the ball when he found an absolutely perfect opportunity.
But just as everyone started running, with less than 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, Lin Tian passed the ball!
A rather stylish and sudden pass, the basketball flew directly into the hands of Barnes who had just cut to the basket!
Barnes held the basketball and feinted towards the sky, anxiously defending against the Knicks' offense and preventing Lin Tian from getting his 31st assist. The Bobcats player immediately jumped up, spreading his arms to try and slap Barnes down, ball and all.
Go take the free throw!
Two points are fine, but what about the 31st assist?
Don't even think about it!
This is the Bobcats' last stand.
Given Barnes' physical abilities, he really didn't have time to dodge the attack. Just as he was about to be grabbed and held tightly, in a moment of panic, he casually tossed the basketball towards the basket.
However, he didn't complete his shooting motion at all; he just threw the ball casually toward the rim, and then he was completely grabbed and lost his balance.
In other words, whether this ball goes in or not depends entirely on luck.
But who is Lin Tian?
The chosen one, the god of the version.
My chosen one is going to give me a helping hand to break the record, and he will definitely break it!
"Whoosh!"
"Beep beep!"
Two sounds rang out almost simultaneously, the basketball obediently went into the hoop, and the referee's whistle blew right on time!
At the same time, Barkley's roar was also heard on television by everyone watching the game.
"Here it comes! His 31st! Lin has recorded his 31st assist! He holds the all-time record! From today onwards, Lin is the NBA's single-game assist leader! He stands at the very top of all point guards in history!"
"The greatest point guard of all time! The greatest of all time! No doubt about it!"
"Let's congratulate Lin! Congratulations to the Knicks, and congratulations to everyone who watched tonight's game!"
"40 points, 31 assists, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 1 block! Let's remember Lin's stats tonight!"
"What Lin achieved tonight is unprecedented in history, data that no one has ever obtained or even come close to! This is the kind of person he is when he's willing to boost his data and give back to his fans!"
"And Lin has already left the court! Having achieved his goal, Lin has indeed left the court! Even though there's still half a quarter left in the game, Lin still went off!"
"So here's the question: did Lin use the 'flash sale' feature tonight, or not?"
Amidst Barkley's incredibly excited shouts, as if he himself had achieved 40+30, Gentry stopped letting Lin Tian play on the court. Taking advantage of Barnes's lack of free throws, he called a timeout to let Lin Tian off the court, allowing him to enjoy the cheers and this wonderful moment in the away game.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
The Charlottes at the Spectrum Center cheered and shouted for Lin Tian without reservation, celebrating for him and happy for him!
After all, they didn't expect their home team to win this match, so they naturally lowered their expectations early on.
Even with a humble attitude and no expectation of winning, witnessing a top-tier individual performance of historical magnitude is definitely worth the ticket price.
It's a huge profit, no loss at all.
As for Lin Tian, after Gentry called a timeout, he pointed a finger to the sky, as if to interact with the fans celebrating for him from all directions.
"I did it, Michael. I told you I would give you a night you'll never forget." On his way back to the Knicks' bench, Lin deliberately took a detour and wandered over to Jordan's side.
"I told you, Michael, I'll give you and your team an unforgettable night." Lin Tian said, smiling as he opened his arms, gesturing for Jordan to hug him.
Even though Jordan felt disgusted, like he'd swallowed a fly, and wished he could just strangle Lin Tian, he knew that in this situation, he had to keep smiling and send Lin Tian a smile and his blessings.
There's nothing we can do about it; he's not only a basketball god now, but also a boss.
They have to be careful about the impact and image; if they're not careful, their own fans might think they're petty, and it could even affect the box office.
No, looking at Lin Tian's 40+30 stats, and thinking about the other stats Lin Tian has created and achieved in the past few years, Jordan felt that he was not a basketball god at all, Lin Tian was.
So what could Jordan do? He could only force a smile, give Lin Tian a hug, and then whisper in Lin Tian's ear, "You damn bastard, I'll send you to hell sooner or later!"
"I'll definitely outlive you, because I'm young!" Lin Tian said. "Next time I come to Charlotte for an away game, I want the best possible hospitality, otherwise, I guarantee you'll be in even worse shape than today!"
"Today, you've only lost by 65 points so far. You still have 6 minutes left to get yourself dressed. Michael, keep it up! Don't let me leave the game and then let our role players go on another run and break the record for the biggest point loss in history."
After saying that, Lin Tian walked straight to the Knicks' bench. Stoudemire, Anthony, and others rushed over and hugged Lin Tian, celebrating excitedly with him.
A night of history!
An absolutely historic night!
Moreover, everyone knows that no one can say anything about Lin Tian manipulating data that night.
It's not because he actually didn't swipe.
It's because Skiles, who had 30 assists back then, racked up far more assists than Lin Tian!
Back then, Skiles played until the end of the game even when his team was leading by nearly 40 points throughout the fourth quarter!
He played for a full 44 minutes that night before reaching 30 assists.
In terms of stats, Lin Tian, who left the game 6 minutes early tonight and only played for 38 minutes in total, is really no match for Skiles.
Not to mention Lin Tianke also scored 40 points!
40 points and 31 assists!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime event in NBA history!
Apart from Lin Tian, none of the other players have ever scored 25 points and had 30 assists even once!
This is also the third time Lin Tian has achieved a stat line of 35+25!
Even Lin Tian himself, sitting on the bench, felt that this number was somewhat unreal.
Of his 31 assists, 9 were three-pointers and the remaining 22 were two-pointers. In addition, 7 of Lin Tian's assists resulted in fouls and free throw opportunities.
The Knicks made 5 of those 7 free throws.
This means that the Knicks scored a total of 116 points directly because of Lin Tian that night!
One person scored 116 points!
This number, without needing to be checked or calculated, is absolutely the highest in history!
And it's the kind of first place that's a precipitous leap forward!
Apart from Lin Tian, there has never been another player in the history of this league who has scored more than 100 points for his team in a single game!
An absolute, precipitous lead!
Who told Skiles to only score around 20 points that night, and why was the Magic's three-point shooting so much worse than the Knicks' today?
An absolutely epic night!
With Lin Tian off the court, the rest of the game became less interesting. For Jordan and Charlotte, the last six minutes of the game were truly a battle to protect their last shred of strength.
It's already unavoidable that the Bobcats will have their historic stats broken tonight. If they are to suffer another historic point difference on top of that, they'll never be able to face anyone again!
I can't bear the embarrassment!
Fortunately, the players really lived up to expectations, outscoring the Knicks 24-16 in the final 6 minutes!
Thanks to this final few minutes of offensive surge, the Bobcats ultimately lost by only 57 points!
167: 110!
This 57-point deficit, while indeed the Bobcats' biggest and most crushing loss in franchise history, is just another case in the grand scheme of NBA history.
In NBA history, there are plenty of games where teams lose by 60 or 70 points. From this perspective, Jordan and the Bobcats did manage to leave themselves with a meager amount of dignity, preventing them from going home completely naked.
But of course, there was only one leaf left, no more.
It could barely block vital points, not even an inch more.
After all, besides Lin Tian's incredible 40 points and 31 assists, there were other records to be set that night!
For example, his 167 points in a single game set a new Knicks franchise record.
又比如除了林天的40分之外，小斯也拿下19分，再加上14分的安东尼、13分的杰克逊、12分的奥库，拿下11分的史密斯。
In addition to them, Wallace, Barnes, Ward, Mohammed, and Sweetney, who came off the bench later, also scored in double digits!
Tonight, a total of 11 Knicks players scored in double figures!
First in NBA history!
Before them, the SuperSonics had 10 players scoring in double figures twice, and the Suns had done it once!
But with 11 players scoring in double figures, this is the only time in NBA history that such a thing has happened!
What does it mean to bloom in multiple locations, fire a volley of arrows, gallop like ten thousand horses, spill mercury, or bombard indiscriminately?
That's it!
The Bobcats' defense was never intact tonight; it was a complete mess, shattered, and riddled with holes from start to finish.
Their fate was sealed the night before last.
The Knicks ended the night with an incredibly crazy team celebration!
Lin Tian has added another brilliant chapter to his already legendary career.
This night belongs to New Yorkers!
Meanwhile, Lin Tian's performance that night once again silenced the NBA players.
That evening, among all the players caught by reporters, some expressed surprise at Lin Tian's performance, some expressed disbelief, and some offered congratulations.
But no one dared to express disdain or claim that they could do it too.
Nobody dares.
not a single one!
After all, if Lin Tian scores 60 or even 70 points, the league's top scorers will be completely unconvinced and unafraid, and will all want to try it themselves.
But 30 assists...
I really don't dare to think about it, and there's no way I can think about it.
Too scary!
