Big Dipper Wilt Chamberlain: More than 100 points in a single game

Big Dipper Wilt Chamberlain: More than 100 points in a single game

In the blink of an eye, the NBA has been suspended for a month, let us take this time to understand those legendary celebrities, so that in the future debates with people, sit on their "old fans" identity.

In the first issue, let's take a look at "Zhang Dashuai" Chamberlain. (Jordan must be very familiar with it, and I will not repeat his greatness here.)

Chamberlain is best known for its 100 points per game (except for the origin of the nickname "Zhang Twenty Thousand"), so what is the specific situation of 100 points in this single game?

It was on March 2, 1962, when Chamberlain scored 100 points in the Philadelphia Warriors' game against the New York Knicks, helping the Warriors win 168-147.

It is reported that Chamberlain enjoyed the nightlife the night before this game, and it is worth mentioning that he made 28 of 32 free throws in the game, which is much higher than the 50.6% of his season average.

However, Chamberlain's horror is not just 100 points per game, he is a double machine of scoring + rebounding.

In addition to his career 7-time scoring champion and 11 rebounding kings, his total number of rebounds is the first in NBA history (23924), and what is even more terrifying is that he is the only player in history who can average 40+ and 50+ points per game in a single season, which makes Elgin Baylor, who averaged 38 points per game at the time, not the scoring king (Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game in a single season).

Chamberlain's significance for basketball is more about pushing the rules forward: to limit him, the NBA widened the three-second zone from 12 feet to 16 feet, introduced the concept of offensive interference balls, and formulated rules for prohibiting feet from landing on the free throw line when free throws land.

Chamberlain played for the Philadelphia Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers, all three of whom retired his number 13 jersey.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that Chamberlain is still a good gentleman in the game, has never been sent off the field in his career, has only had one clash with his opponent, or the opponent is annoyed by his two consecutive blocks, and Chamberlain is only pushing the opponent away.
