The other day, when the Lakers missed the playoffs, Brother B had bet with the fans in the comment area that James would not play next. Most fans in the comments section believe that Old Zhan will play two more games for this scoring king, and brother B's opinion at that time is absolutely not. On the one hand, the rhythm is too big and unnecessary; on the other hand, Lao Zhan has a lot of career honors, which is really not bad for this scoring king.
Sure enough, two days later, James announced the season reimbursement, on the one hand, he was also worried that his ankle injury would worsen, on the other hand, the team did not enter the playoffs, and there was no point in the superstar playing again, so it was better to let the bench players exercise for a while. So back to the original question, if a player has a chance to win the scoring game, should he rush it?
In fact, I personally think that this is beyond reproach, 44 years ago today, there was a fairly good war. It happened to be the 1977–78 season, the closing day of the regular season. The battle for the scoring champion between "Iceman" George Gervin and "Skywalker" David Thompson has intensified.
Before the start of the day's game, Skywalker was in second place with an average of 26 points per game, only 0.2 points lower than the "Iceman". For this scoring king, he took pains to blast 32 points in the first quarter of the final game, setting a record for the highest score in a single quarter at that time, and then scored 53 points at halftime and 73 points on the whole game, increasing the average score per game to 27.2 points.
Skywalker put there hard brush points, "Iceman" naturally can not be left behind, after calculations, he needs to cut 59 points in a single game to return to the scoring throne. In that game, he scored 53 points in the first half and 33 points in a single quarter, breaking the record of 32 points in a single quarter that Skywalker had just set.
He then scored 63 points to regain the scoring throne. In that era when 27 points per game could win the scoring king, the two sides had to play a god-level performance of 73 points in a single game against 63 points in a single game, brushing back, but I believe that the fans at that time must have seen it very happily. So much so that this story has been passed down to this day, and fans still relish it.
