60+ consecutively, two games of 125 points, Fujian foreign aid Robert Gordon grabbed the headlines in an almost violent way to cut points, the fake Dengge for the new owner has not yet taken 30+, the real Dengge has been in the CBA.
Gordon shot 18-of-34, 7-of-15 from three-point range, and 20-of-20 free throws from the free throw line, scoring 63 points in 43.3 minutes, and he also broke the fujian men's basketball team's record for single-game scoring. The playing time is the first in the whole team in Fujian, although Fujian eventually lost the game, but this foreign aid is really used fiercely, and it is all hard-earned money.
The Fujian single-game record of 62 points, broken by Gordon, was set by himself in the last game.
Facing Xinjiang, he scored 62 points in 40 minutes with almost the same efficiency as this game, but the team also lost. Gordon is not the first player in CBA history to score 60+ in two consecutive games, the first is The 08-09 Season's Jilin foreign player Leon Rogers, on March 11, 2009, he scored 66 points on 15 of 26 shooting against Shanxi, and 15 three-pointers are also CBA record.
After Rogers, the 16-17 CBA welcomed a second consecutive 60+ player, when Jamal Franklin, who played for Shanxi, beat Beijing with 61 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, the first 60+ triple-double in CBA history. Three days later, he and Liaoning played three extra hours, which can be described as fighting until the dark of the sun and the moon, playing 58 minutes to score 60 points, 13 rebounds and 21 assists, fighting until the leg cramps unfortunately lost the game.
The record is not exclusive to Gordon, but he is the first player in CBA history to lose both 60+ games in a row, which is a bit embarrassing. As a representative of the southern team, Fujian has always stood on the CBA with a dashing and flexible offensive posture, and in recent years, due to their failure to establish a defensive system, it has become the norm.
Since entering the CBA in 2004, Fujian has maintained a variety of single-game scoring records, but the super high score is actually not the strength of Fujian players, before Gordon, Fujian team history only 1 single game 60+. Russ Smith, a minor foreign player from the 17-18 season, scored 61 points on 20-of-41 shooting against Zhejiang on January 25, 2018.
Smith was another record-setter in Fujian before Gordon.
In the summer of 2017, in the NBL League, there was a small man who shot 10 three-pointers in a game, bombed 81 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals, which is only 185 cm tall Smith. He averaged 61.5 points per game that year, and his ability to cut points was unbelievable.
In fact, before coming to China, Smith had a very gorgeous resume, and he helped the University of Louisville win the NCAA championship as a starting guard in 2013. He entered the NBA in 2014 and was sent to the Development League, but he scored 65 points in a single game on March 24, 2016, breaking the G-League scoring record held by former Beijing foreign player Jordan McRae.
After coming to Fujian, Smith continued his flying instinct, all the way to 30+, 40+, and on December 19, 2017, he faced Xinjiang and slashed 58 points, defeating the defending champion who had just won the championship at that time. On January 24, 2018, he scored another 61 points, becoming the first player in Fujian team history to win a single game of 60+, and even grabbed 15 rebounds in that game.
Smith averaged 33.6 points per game in the 17-18 season and contributed 11 40+ times in a single season, making him the first crazy scorer in Fujian history, and it was not until Gordon's arrival that his scoring record was broken. Fujian not only has foreign aides who can cut points, but also has many scoring records among local players, and Wang Zhelin scored 51 points in the face of Bayi on January 18, 2020, becoming the holder of the single-game scoring record for local players in the current CBA.
Long before Wang Zhelin, Gong Songlin had cut 50 points.
In the 06-07 season, the 26-year-old Gong Songlin was at the peak of his career, but at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, he still lost at the last minute. Gong Songlin, known as the king of Fujian, has a good long-range shot, returning to the league, when he faced Shanxi, he scored 50 points on 13 of 16 three points, a local player scoring record that has been maintained in fujian history for nearly 14 years.
Gong Songlin's most classic battle may not be this one, in the 04-05 season, he faced the defending champion Guangdong, 7 of 11 three points, scoring 48 points, so that Guangdong could only leave the Jinjiang Zuchang Stadium with a loss. Unfortunately, Gong Songlin failed to realize his dream of a national team competition, and in 2012, before Wang Zhelin entered the first team, like the transition of the times, he left Fujian.
Fujian team history also had a very sensational Asian player 50+ performance, that is, the peak of the 15-16 season of Asian foreign aid in the CBA, Lebanon is known as "Asia's first small forward" Fatih Hatib was nearly 37 years old at the time, but against Shanxi, yes, it is Shanxi, he played the whole game, scored 53 points, and led the shortage of manpower Fujian to victory.
Hattib has only played two seasons in the CBA, and in Fujian this year, the veteran averaged 41.2 minutes per game, averaging 25.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 43% from three-point range. It can be seen that the title of Asia's first small front is worthy of the name, 37 years old won 50+, which is also the current record of the CBA.
Fujian once had many stories, but now I don't have the heart to reminisce.
Gordon has played 18 games for Fujian so far this season, averaging 43.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 10 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 48.4% from the field and 96.3% from the free throw line, ranking first in the league. Whether from the data or from the field performance, Gordon is not a very unique data brush, his two 60+ games once almost helped the team to erase the point difference.
However, Gordon is not a god after all, and in the final quarter, his physical fitness declined, he encountered key defenses, and the Fujian team's attack stagnated, and the net loss of 20 points in the final quarter was negative. This is also the norm in Fujian matches after the arrival of Gordon, who not only has a high playing time, but also ranks third in the league with 46% usage, and who can maintain concentration while handling the attack uninterrupted for 48 minutes?
Gordon apparently didn't get the support he deserved, none of his teammates even scored more than 13 points in this game, and the team, which was not very good at defending, lost 288 points in two games after losing front Huang Yichao. Can Fujian's current strength reserves, even if the double foreign aid, the playoffs or fantasy, anyway are lost, Gordon big package will naturally cause controversy.
Since Gordon's arrival, Li Yiyang's performance has immediately lost its style at the beginning of the season. In Gordon's absence, Li Yiyang started the two games, he scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists against Liaoning, and 4 points, 7 rebounds and 18 assists against Tianjin, and the rookie's performance was equally exciting. Watching the one-man show of foreign aid, or watching local players pay tuition, this is a collision of two voices.
Fujian is not without young players worth looking forward to, in addition to Li Yiyang, they have local star Chen Linjian, as well as Ou Junxuan and Wang Yixiong, who have arrived this season. Wang Yixiong, who has just returned, has now scored in double figures in two consecutive games, and he and Au Junxuan need the team to give them a higher tactical status and more opportunities for training.
Obviously, we can't make decisions for Fujian, and Gordon's two consecutive 60+ miracles are really breathtaking, and there is nothing to say. But Fujian and Gordon set a new record in team history, and in the past two games, Xinjiang won the highest 53 assists in A single game in CBA history, and Shandong set a new team record with 40 assists.
This is certainly not the point, and what really deserves Fujian's attention is that they have only won 7 wins and 26 losses so far this season. In the history of the Fujian team, there have been two seasons to win only 8 games, respectively, 8 wins and 30 losses in the 04-05 season and 8 wins and 24 losses in the 10-11 season, and in terms of winning percentage, last season they won 13 wins and 39 points, with a winning rate of 25%, which is actually the second worst in team history.
Fujian's last 5 games, they will have to face Xinjiang, Guangzhou, Shandong, Guangzhou, Beijing Control, all playoff teams, they have to win at least 2 games to get rid of the embarrassing situation of creating or equalizing the worst record in team history. It seems that Fujian may have thought of this worst-case scenario after letting Wang Zhelin go.
Gordon is still using his all-round skills to constantly break the scoring record in team history, but what is the significance for Fujian? The underdogs, who are hard to win, seem to be showing the league teams exquisite objects in order to sell this increasingly value-added foreign aid priority renewal rights next season. In addition, Fujian can get only a few piecemeal news and one defeat after another.
Fujian fulfills the drama of Gordon's lonely hero, and the story is nothing more.
