On March 18, Beijing time, due to the NCAA officially entering the crazy March, today's league only arranged a showdown between the Pistons and the Magic, but the league's "single seedling" made the fans feel very surprised.
Pistons second-year rising star Sadiq Bay scored 21 points in the first quarter of the game, and had already scored 30 points at the end of halftime. In the end, he hit 10 three-pointers to break 51 points, two statistics to set a new career high, leading the Pistons to a 134-120 victory over the Magic, ending a four-game losing streak. Sadik Bay's fiery performances have helped the league break multiple records.
With Sadiq Bay contributing 50+ points in this game, the league has already scored 50+ by six players in March, successfully setting a record for 50+ in a single month in NBA history, the remaining five are: Irving, Towns, James, Tatum and Durant. Irving and James both contributed 50+ twice this month.
In addition, the data shows that the league has appeared 50+ 8 times since entering March, which is a new high in the league in the past 60 years, and second only to the 9 times in history in December 1962. With 13 days left in March, this record is expected to be broken further in the future. It can be seen that March Madness does not only exist in the NCAA, the NBA also has its own Crazy March.
So far this season, the league has seen 13 people, a total of 17 50+. The 13ers contributed 50+ to tie the all-time record of the 18-19 season, a number that is expected to be further refreshed with most teams in the league still having 1/6 of their regular season journeys left. After All-Star Weekend, several players played crazy, and the league's season scoring record was constantly being refreshed. This season is destined to be extraordinary.
The details of 50+ of 13 men and 17 times this season are as follows:
Irving (60 points, 50 points), Towns (60 points), James (56 points, 50 points), Trae Young (56 points), Tatum (54 points, 51 points), Durant (53 points, 51 points), Morant (52 points), Doncic (51 points), Sadiq Bay (51 points), Alphabet Brother (50 points), Embiid (50 points), Jaylen Brown (50 points) and Curry (50 points).
It is worth mentioning that the Magic can be regarded as a high-scoring "cash machine" for players this season, and 4 players have cut 50+ on them, namely:
On January 3, Celtics core guard Jaylen Brown scored 50 points, setting a career scoring record;
On Jan. 20, Philadelphia's leading core Embiid scored 50 points after playing just 27 minutes, tying his career scoring record;
On March 16, Nets core guard Irving contributed 60 points in the first half, achieving the first 60+ career goals in the case of a crazy 41 points;
