NBA: The King of Basketball, the more haters I have, the stronger I become!

Ye Chu's solo performance continues.

Not only on the offensive end, his strategy of actively guarding Russell Westbrook on the defensive end completely changed the course of the game.

People were surprised to find that Westbrook, who was so unstoppable against Stephen Curry's defense, instantly turned into a rookie when facing Ye Chu.

"It seems the outside world has underestimated Ye Chu's defensive capabilities!"

Even in the NBA, Ye Chu's defensive skills remain among the best in the league!

"The Oklahoma City Thunder are in big trouble. Ye Chu has completely shut down the team's offensive initiators!"

Durant probably never expected this.

The first one to falter was not Ye Chu, who was being closely watched, but rather Wei Shao, who was being kept under surveillance by Ye Chu.

Even more fatally, Ye Chu not only shut down Westbrook on the defensive end.

On the offensive end, he didn't hesitate and easily took on two opponents at once!

They completely overwhelmed the double-team of Thabo Sefolosha and Jeff Green.

After passing through the gap between the two, Ye Chu stopped abruptly and scored two more points with a mid-range jump shot.

This is his 58th point of the game!

He officially tied Wilt Chamberlain's rookie season single-game scoring record, set in 1959!

But Ye Chu's scoring continued.

The Thunder pulled one back thanks to Durant's mid-range jump shot.

Turning back, Ye Chusan received the ball on the left side of the three-point line, threatening to dribble past Sefolosha, and then drove into the paint before Jeff Green could double-team him, and launched a floater!

"Shh!"

As the basketball slid steadily into the net, Ye Chu scored his 60th point of the game!

This is also his first 60+ point game in his career!

This is also the first time among the many rookies of the Class of 09 to score 60+!

The gap between the two teams has widened to an irreversible level.

Brooks didn't want to waste any more time, so he substituted the entire starting lineup.

finally

Ye Chu's individual single-game score remained at 62 points!

When he was substituted off the court, the entire Ford Center stadium fell silent.

Before the game, the arena was filled with cheers, roused by Westbrook.

but now

You could hear even the slightest fart in the entire stadium.

"The Ford Center fell silent!"

The silence in the arena prompted commentator Smith to remark, "This is the first arena to be silenced by Ye Chu's performance, and it certainly won't be the last!"

"But to be honest, I really hope Ye Chu will aim for an even higher score!"

Charles Barkley, standing nearby, expressed some regret: "For example, a single-game record of 70 points, Kobe Bryant's single-game record of 81 points, or even Wilt Chamberlain's record for the highest single-game score in NBA history!"

There are three minutes left in the game.

There was still plenty of time, but the score was already close to 20 points.

Perhaps the reason that can stop Ye Chu from scoring further is not time!

Rather, the Oklahoma City Thunder were too weak; they couldn't hold on until Ye Chu scored 70 points!

finally

The game ended with Thunder fans leaving the arena early.

The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-95 on the road, a huge margin of 19 points, securing their fifth consecutive win to start the season and ending the Thunder's three-game winning streak!

"Kobe, that kid scored 62 points!"

After the game ended, Ron Artest, who had just finished watching the live broadcast at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, looked at Kobe next to him and said, "Your 56 points didn't last long!"

"That's because their opponents were too weak!"

Kobe ignored Artest standing to the side and said, "This kid has guts. When is our city derby against the Clippers?"

"Probably by the end of this month..."

Artest casually suggested a timeframe: "Who will guard him then?"

"Is it you, or me?"

Kobe and Artest were both top-tier perimeter defenders for the Lakers.

At the same time, they all possess top-tier defensive players in the league.

This season, Kobe Bryant was selected to the All-Defensive First Team for the fifth consecutive year.

As for Artest?

He's one of the toughest characters in the league!

Breaking Jordan's ribs, elbowing Harden's meridians, the Detroit melee, and so on.

These are the labels he is most proud of!

Then the problem is coming!

Who will guard Ye Chu when the Clippers play against the Lakers?

This is indeed a question worth discussing!

"You can't handle him?"

Kobe replied without hesitation, "If you can't handle it, leave it to me!"

Even if Artest takes on the task of guarding Ye Chu, Kobe believes that a matchup between him and this rookie is inevitable.

At the end of this month...

Kobe's fighting spirit, which had been dormant for a long time, was subtly rekindled!

Meanwhile, Toronto

Air Canada Centre Arena

Chris Bosh, who had also watched the match, turned his attention to DeMar DeRozan: "DeMar, I heard you fought against Ye Chu?"

"We've had our share of wins and losses!"

DeRozan paused for a moment, then decided to tell the truth: "Okay... I really haven't beaten him!"

"Don't worry about it, losing to Ye Chu isn't anything shameful!"

Bosh patted DeRozan, who wasn't in much spirits, on the shoulder: "Your good buddy James Harden lost too..."

have to say

Bosh knows how to comfort people...

DeRozan appeared quiet on the surface, but after the live stream ended, he quietly went to the training facility alone to continue practicing.

Ye Chu has scored 40+ points in a row, and even scored 62 points in a single game!

As for myself, I don't even have a fixed playing time now.

Only through hard work and practice!

The camera returns to the Ford Center.

After the game, Westbrook and James Harden declined to be interviewed by the media.

They were both in a terrible mood at the moment. Westbrook was upset because Ye Chu locked him down in the final moments of the game.

Harden, on the other hand, was defeated by Curry and Ye Chu once again, following his elimination by Davidson College in the NCAA quarterfinals.

"We lost the game; they played very well!"

Durant, as the team's leader, did give an interview to the media, but he was somewhat perfunctory: "The Los Angeles Clippers won this game, they deserved it, it's that simple!"

Why did we lose?

Isn't it because they're not as skilled as others?

If the team is strong, can they lose?

Sometimes Durant really wants to yell at these reporters. The facts are right in front of them, what's there to ask!

"Ye Chu's performance exceeded everyone's expectations!"

Of the team's three young players, two refused and one was extremely perfunctory. As the team's head coach, Brooks naturally had to say a few words: "Our coaching staff underestimated Ye Chu."

"We didn't give a super breakup the respect it deserved."

In other words:

Coach Brooks still treated Ye Chu as a rookie.

Their defensive tactics were designed to treat them like rookies.

However, although Ye Chu is a rookie, his abilities far exceed the scope of a rookie.

"The team's performance today was not very stable. We are still young and have a long way to go in the future!"

Coach Brooks actually has a lot to say about the Thunder's performance today.

Westbrook only played well for two quarters, while Durant seemed to be carrying the team alone.

Both teams' key players are very young, and their weaknesses are also very obvious.

The chemistry between Westbrook and Durant is not like that between Ye Chu and Curry.

They need a veteran to connect the two young players.

The problem is

Where can they find such a veteran now?

Allen Iverson?

Perhaps he's a good candidate!
