Many people know that basketball is a team competition, the team's good cooperation can play a good record, most people also recognize the phrase "defense wins the championship", but as an audience, we still prefer to watch gorgeous individual performance shows, and the shock brought by a person harvesting the game is indescribable. For example, Jordan and Kobe Bryant, two representative stars of the 90s and 00s, their influence is directly proportional to their personal scoring ability. In the NBA game, 30+ in a single quarter is undoubtedly a personal achievement with high gold content, and there are only a few people in history who can complete this feat, this time, let's take stock of those stars who have created 30+ in a single quarter by themselves.
The first: the Ancient Divine Beast- Velt Chamberlain
Back in antiquity, on March 2, 1962, Chamberlain's Warriors defeated their city rival Knicks 169:147 and scored 31 points in the fourth quarter, which was also the first move of 30+ in the individual quarter. In the same game, Zhang Dashuai also scored 28 points in the third quarter and approached 30 points, shooting 36 of 63, and scored 100 points that no one has broken so far in the whole game.
Although the rules of basketball in ancient times were immature and the scoring was relatively more exaggerated, it has to be said that Chamberlain's scoring ability against the sky is beyond doubt.
Second place: Skywalker – David Thompson
As a 75-year NBA champion show, the legend is that Skywalker's vertical jump height can be 48 inches (1 meter 22), and he has personally said that he has touched the top edge of the rebound, and his talent is evident. David Thompson, a division guard/small forward, scored 32 points in a single quarter against the Detroit Pistons in the regular season game on April 9, 1978, and scored 27.21 points per game, temporarily ranking first in the scoring list, unfortunately Providence, because Oforge Gervin miraculously missed the scoring king with 63 points!
At the age of 30, this incredible scoring maniac retired early in the middle of injury and marijuana, which is really regrettable!
Third place: The Iceman – George Gervin
For George Gervin, not a veteran NBA fan may not know much about the scoring god, who was selected by the Suns in the 40th place in the 3rd round of the 1974 NBA Draft, but he chose to stay with the Spurs as a shooting guard/small forward.
After 16 years since Chamberlain scored 31 points in a single quarter, the Iceman George Gervin led the San Antonio Spurs to a 53-point score in the first half of the 1978 regular season, 33 points in a single quarter, and a total of 63 points to beat the Jazz, and thus beat Thompson, the leading scorer who had just cut a full 73 points, and became the leading scorer of the 77-78 season!
Fourth place: The Flyer – Michael Jordan
All kinds of NBA lists, generally rarely miss our basketball god - Jordan, since he is famous under the no void, as one of the most outstanding scoring guards in the history of the NBA, Jordan NBA career of 15 years, 1072 regular season games average 30.1 points per game, tied with Chamberlain first in history, 179 playoff games, Jordan and Yang can average 33.4 points per game, these great achievements are due to Jordan's stable scoring ability.
On November 27, 1988, in the Chicago Bulls' game against the Denver Nuggets, Jordan shot 19 of 27 from the field, slashed 52 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, including 30 points in the fourth quarter. Sadly, the Bulls lost to the Nuggets 123:128!
