The winning or losing of a game depends in most cases on the ability of the team's star to play well. Today, the NBA played a number of wonderful games as usual, and after a battle, many stars played excellent performances, Trae Young, Cunningham, Banqueiro, Haliburton, Turner, Alphabet Brother, Gobert, Simmons, Mitchell, LeVert, Maxi and other stars all played bright statistics.
Let's take a look at what data these stars have played today! Move your fingers and say your best player of the day in the comments section!
36+12, Trae Young felt the recovery of the third quarter clocked in
The Hawks have gone 3-1 in the past four games, but team leader Trae Young has been slow to find the feel to shoot, shooting just 34.8 percent from the field and 22.9 percent from three-point range in four games.
Perhaps the continuous iron play in the past four games is in exchange for today's big explosion against the Pistons.
In the first three quarters of this game, Trae Young scored all doubles, scoring 23 points and 7 assists on 9-of-13 shooting in the half, helping the team maintain a slight lead, and in the third quarter Trae Young regained his skills, hitting three points in a row, scoring another 13 points in a single quarter, leading the team to open the score in one fell swoop, and the team firmly grasped the situation in the final quarter, and Trae Young did not play again.
In this game, Trae Young played only 30 minutes in the third quarter, shooting 12-of-20 from the field, including 4-of-6 from three-point range, 8-of-10 from the free-throw line, and a double-double of 36 points, 2 rebounds and 12 assists, with a plus-minus of +12.
At 35+9+8, Cunningham set a career high in scoring
Cunningham is more interested in being a great playmaker than a finisher than his fellow leader.
But that doesn't mean Cunningham doesn't have super-finishing ability. No, today's game against the Hawks, Cunningham put on a personal offensive show, he scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting in the first quarter, another 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting in the second quarter, and he scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 10-of-13 shooting from the three-point line throughout the first half to help the team clench the score.
In the second half, Cunningham reduced the number of shots and focused more on organizing passes, but the opponent's overall offensive firepower was even better, and the Pistons lost to the Hawks 112-136.
Despite the loss, Cunningham's excellent performance in this game could not be hidden.
Cunningham played 33 minutes, shooting 14-of-23 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, contributing a team-high 35 points and a quasi-triple-double of nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal.
It is worth mentioning that 35 points also set a new career scoring high for Cunningham.
21+12+7, Banqueiro 6 consecutive 20+ wins for the first time in his career
Against the Hornets' aging center Plumlee, the new leader Banqueiro with more speed and flexibility plays with ease, and his extremely steady style of play combined with sudden shooting makes the Hornets helpless, and even more valuable is that Banqueiro also has a good passing ability.
Without Rozier and Ball, the Hornets' past offensive continuity also disappeared, and the Magic fully crushed each other throughout the game, completely losing suspense in only three quarters, and finally the Magic ended the five-game losing streak in the opening season and ushered in the first win of the season, and the pressure was instantly given to the Lakers.
Banqueiro continued his solid performance over the past five games, playing 27 minutes, shooting 8-of-14 from the field, including 1-of-4 from three-point range and 3-of-7 from the free-throw line, and recorded a double-double of 21 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, with a plus-minus of +27 to mark his first career victory.
It is worth mentioning that Banqueiro scored 20+ consecutive games to continue to the sixth.
In addition, Banqueiro scored 20+ in the first six games of his career, and looking at NBA history, he can tie for third place with Oscar Robertson, Grant Hill, and Wilkes, second only to Zhang Dashuai's 56 games and Erwin Hayes' 10.
25+12, Haliburton scored five consecutive assists on the double All-Star
The Kings traded cornerstone guard Haliburton to the Pacers for Sabonis in the second half of last season in order to gain more immediate power.
The Kings are currently struggling to win this season, struggling to sink to the bottom with the Lakers in the West, and the arrival of Sabonis has not brought the Kings a little improvement, but Haliburton has become a leader in the Pacers.
Today, the Pacers beat the Wizards 127-117 to win their second game of the season, and as the team's backcourt commander, Haliburton once again handed in the perfect scorecard.
Haliburton was on fire in the first quarter, scoring 12 points and four assists on 4-of-5 shooting in a single quarter, and at the end of the first half he scored 14 points while also providing eight assists to lead his team to 75 points at halftime to take a double-digit lead and hold it until the end.
Haliburton continued his solid play, playing 36 minutes, shooting 9-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-6 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, with a double-double of 25 points, 2 rebounds, 12 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus of +12.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, Haliburton has assisted in five consecutive games on the double. So far this season, Haliburton is averaging 23 points and 10.3 assists per game, pointing to the All-Star!
27+10+5, Turner dominates the inside at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends
In the last game against the Bulls, Pacers center Turner finally ushered in a comeback, and the short playing time allowed Turner to slowly regain the feeling of a formal game.
In today's game against the Wizards, Turner vented on the Wizards the stuffiness that he couldn't play for a long time due to injury.
In the first quarter, Turner was mediocre on the offensive end, but the pressure on the defensive end was full, sending two blocks in a single quarter, and in the second quarter, Turner strengthened his personal aggression, continuously caused damage on the inside, frequently walked to the free throw line, and scored 11 points on 8-of-8 free throws in a single quarter to help his team take the lead in the score.
In the crucial fourth quarter, Turner gradually got better, not only blossoming inside and outside the offensive end, but also controlling the team's rebounds and timely hot pot to the opponent to limit the Wizards' basket offense, and finally managed to win his first win of the season.
Turner is in excellent form in this game, dominating the inside line on both ends of attack and defense! He played 32 minutes, shooting 7-of-14 from the field, including 3-of-4 from three-point range, 10-of-10 from the free-throw line, and slashed 27 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks, with a plus-minus of +20.
30+14+9, Brother Alphabet is unstoppable in his all-round skills
In the past two games, Brother Alphabet has bombarded 40+ in a row, and he is in good form. This time at home against the Knicks, facing Randle, whose physical talent and athletic talent are far inferior to his own, Brother Alphabet played crushing dominance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and even showed good organizational skills.
In the first half, Brother Alphabet chose to bombard the opponent's box more when he didn't feel good on the outside, and at halftime he scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on 7-of-11 shooting to lead his team to a score lead.
The Bucks never fell behind in scoring points, rebounds and assists throughout the game, and as the final whistle blew, the Bucks continued his unbeaten gold run.
Alphabet played 38 minutes, shooting 11-of-22 from the field, including 1-of-6 from three-point range and 7-of-11 from the free-throw line, and scored a quasi-triple-double of 30 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a terrifying plus-minus of +27!
It is worth mentioning that in four games so far this season, Alphabet has a total of 138 points, 53 rebounds, and 25 assists, and he is the second player in the NBA in the past 60 years to have at least 125 points, 50 rebounds, and 25 assists in the first four games of the season. Larry Bird, who had only had a 1987-88 season, had 133 points, 52 rebounds and 30 assists in the first four games of the season.
22+21, Gobert double 20 sent old Jen Xiti "mileage sadness"
The Timberwolves gave the Lakers a five-game losing streak 111-102.
James scored 28 points on 10-of-24 shooting, the 1135th game of James' career to score more than 20 points in a single game, successfully surpassing Karl Malone (1134) and ranking first in history!
James' brilliant twenty seasons have set too many records, but they have also been accompanied by a lot of "mileage sadness". Today is no exception, since you Lao Zhan has won the record, then you have to leave me the victory.
And what prevented James from gaining fame and fortune was the Timberwolves' new center Gobert.
The absence of Davis made the Lakers' already thin interior more vulnerable, and Gobert's physical talent dominated the game, and every rebound almost became Gobert's bag, and finally won the game easily with the absolute advantage of the inside.
Gobert played 37 minutes, shooting 7-of-11 from the field, 8-of-12 from the free-throw line, and had a plus-double of 22 points, 21 rebounds (8 frontcourt rebounds), 2 blocks, 2 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus of +8.
30+5+7, Simmons equaled his personal halftime three-point goal
The Blazers sat at home to welcome the Rockets from afar, and Lillard was absent due to injury in this game, facing a group of talented young talents in the opponent, Simmons, as one of the two guns in the Blazers' backcourt, took the initiative to carry the offensive banner.
In the first half, Simmons was hot on his hands, shooting 8-of-12 from the field, including 7-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, and chipped in 23 points, three rebounds and three assists, leading his team to build a double-digit lead and set the tone for victory.
It is worth mentioning that in the second quarter, Simmons shot 6 of 8, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 17 points in a single quarter! Seven three-pointers in the half also tied Simmons' personal half-time three-point goal record, and the Trail Blazers' half-time three-point record was eight.
Simmons played 38 minutes, shooting 10-of-20 from the field, including 7-of-15 three-pointers, 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, and recorded 30 points, five rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block, with a plus-minus of +18.
This season's Trail Blazers are no longer a strong and weak team, they can also win games with defense, and Simmons has been able to stand alone, even if Lillard is not in Simmons!
41+4+3, Mitchell vs. Greenshirts double prospect
In the last game against the Magic, Mitchell sleepwalked the entire game, shooting only 30%, playing the worst game since joining the Cavaliers.
Facing the Eastern Conference powerhouse Celtics, Mitchell bottomed out, scoring 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting in the first half, but the opposite double tan combined for 38 points in the half, and the Cavaliers trailed by as many as 13 points at halftime.
The Cavaliers strengthened their key defense against the green shirts, and Mitchell was full of fire, scoring 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting in the third and fourth quarters, successfully helping the team erase the point difference and drag the game into overtime, in which Mitchell scored 5 points on 2-of-2 shooting in overtime to team up with LeVert to achieve the final victory.
Mitchell played 45 minutes, shooting 15-of-26 from the field, including 5-of-9 on three-pointers, 6-of-6 from the free-throw line, 41 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus of +18, and did not lose in the race against the double tanhua (32 points).
LeVert 41+4+7+3 missed today's best
In the past five games, with Garland out due to injury, LeVert has no longer been a simple scorer, but has taken on part of the team's organizational tasks, averaging 6.3 assists per game in five games, allowing Mitchell to devote more energy to the attack.
Today the Cavaliers challenged the Celtics away, facing the green shirt double agent who has been in hot offensive form since the start of the game, although Garland still failed to play, but the Cavaliers in addition to Mitchell and the presence of LeVert, this game LeVert completely released his offensive desire, revealing his true face as a first-class attacker.
LeVert scored 15 points each in the first and second half, and led the team to a wave of excellent attack and defense in the second half when the team was behind by double digits at halftime, dragging the game into overtime.
In overtime, LeVert completely dominated the game, hitting a difficult three-point shot with the ball at the top of the arc in a row, and finally helped the team successfully reverse the game. LeVert scored 11 points and 1 assist in overtime, and 13 of the Cavaliers' total 18 points in overtime related to him.
LeVert played 42 minutes in this game, shooting 12-of-21 from the field, including 6-of-8 on three-pointers, 11-of-12 from the free-throw line, and took 41 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, with a plus-minus of +21, which was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.
It is worth mentioning that Mitchell and LeVert are the second pair in NBA history to score 40 points and hit five three-pointers in the same game. On February 22, 2019, George and Will Shao also scored 40 points and five three-pointers on behalf of the Thunder.
In the face of a strong opponent, in the case of the team's core point guard could not play, LeVert turned the tide in overtime, but such an explosive performance still failed to be selected as the best of the day! Because he met the third big of the 76ers.
Maxi 44+8+4 was voted the best of the day
To be able to beat many of the above stars to be elected the best today, you can imagine how against the sky it is, yes! This man is Maxi.
Today, the 76ers face the Raptors on the road, and the last time the two teams met was the day before yesterday, when Maxi scored 31 points but failed to help his team win.
Since 31 points aren't enough to win the game, let's add some more heat today. Maxey started the game with a burst of 5 shots, scoring 14 points on 4-of-4 three-pointers. Maxey continued to fire in the second quarter, hitting all five shots in a single quarter, including 3-of-3 three-pointers for 13 points.
Throughout the first half, Maxi was unstoppable, shooting 10-of-10 from the field in 20 minutes, including 7-of-7 three-pointers, and bombarding 27 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound, leading his team to a 17-point lead.
Entering the third quarter, the 76ers collectively slackened, the Raptors took the opportunity to recover a little point difference, and in the crucial fourth quarter, Maxi re-draped, scoring 13-of-5 shooting in a single quarter, further opening the score and achieving revenge on the Raptors.
Maxey played 39 minutes, shooting 15-of-20 from the field, including 9-of-12 three-pointers, 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, and shot 44 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, with a game-high plus-minus of +29.
Maxi also set six records:
Maxey scored 27 points on 10-of-10 shooting in the first half, tying Irving (2020) and Yao Ming (2008) and becoming the NBA's highest first-half 100 percent shooting since the 1996-97 season.
After this game, Maxi became the third player in 76ers history to score at least 27 points in the half after Iverson and Embiid in '96-97.
3. 9 three-pointers in a single game tied the 76ers' all-time three-point record, previously held by Danny Green and Dana Barros.
Maxi's true shooting percentage in this game is as high as 97.2%, and he is the 21-year-old (or younger) player in NBA history, and the highest true shooting rate in a single game.
5. 44 points in a single game set a career scoring record for Maxi.
After this game, Maxi also became the second player in 76ers history to cut 40+ in a single game before the age of 22, the other being Iverson (5 times)
With such a performance against the sky, it is undoubtedly selected as the best today!
