Chapter 399 83 point

"What are the ratings?"

At this time, Ma Guoli, director of the sports department of CCTV, asked excitedly.

A staff member put down the phone and said excitedly: "Sofres said that it is now 31%."

"31%"

Ma Guoli's mouth opened wide.

What does a 31% rating mean? It means that nearly half of the households and people in the country are watching the game.

Of course, it cannot be compared with some of the phenomenal TV series in the past.

For example, the first real TV series in China, Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp, filmed in 81, had a 99% audience rating.

The score for The Desire is 98%, Journey to the West is 96%, The Legend of White Snake is 91%, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and A Dream of Red Mansions is 90%, Huo Yuanjia is 85%, and Water Margin is 78%.

But times have changed. These phenomenal dramas were all produced in the past when there were few entertainment programs on television. There is no comparison.

Take the most popular TV series in the past two or three years, Bright Sword, for example. Its highest viewership rating was 13.7%.

In the past decade, the most popular TV series is My Fair Princess, with a peak of 65% and an average of 55%.

However, it is daytime now, not night, and it is Monday, not Saturday, and everyone is at work. A 31% viewership rate is really an incredible statistic.

"Let's arrange to replay this game on Channel 5 at 8 o'clock tonight," he said immediately.

Soon after, the first quarter ended with the score at 42:27, and the Lakers were trailing by as many as 15 points in a single quarter.

Yao Ming played for 10 minutes, took a lot of shots, 7 of 5, 5 of 3 three-pointers, no free throws, and scored 13 points, which was a very good performance.

The Knicks never double-teamed him, and let Battier defend him alone. Many times when Battier was defending Kobe, Josh Howard would defend him.

Kobe played the entire quarter, made 9 of 5 shots, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 11 points, all of which were outside jump shots. His shooting percentage of 55.6% is very good.

The Knicks did not double-team him, and only provided backup defense after he broke through.

纳什首节打了10分钟，4投2中，其中三分球1投0中，得到4分9助攻，其中贺中秋一个人就送给了他7次助攻。

He Zhongqiu played the entire quarter, making 3 fast breaks, 4 cut-in dunks, and 8 strong attacks under the basket, making 15 of 15 shots, accounting for more than % of the team's total shots.

加上5罚5中，单节轰下恐怖的35分，一举将微笑刺客单节25分的记录提高了10分，另外还有5篮板1抢断3盖帽的数据。

At the end of the first quarter, everyone in the Staples Center stood up and all the Lakers fans rebelled, giving him extremely warm applause and cheers.

The Knicks' morale was high, while the Lakers' morale was hit rock bottom.

"Wolverine, how's your stamina?"

After He Zhongqiu sat down, several coaches from Carlisle immediately went over and asked.

He Zhongqiu panted a little, but shook his head and said, "There is no problem with my physical fitness. I will not leave the court until we defeat the Lakers today."

"Eat two bananas."

Ewing immediately took two bananas and gave them to He Zhongqiu.

He Zhongqiu smiled and took one.

His muscles and bones are now well-developed, at level 140, much higher than those of ordinary people. His muscle content is lower than that of people of the same weight, so when doing the same amount of exercise, he consumes less energy than others.

His physical fitness is at level 101, and his exercise consumption is even lower. This is the confidence he has in attacking the basket and playing all over the court.

On the sidelines, Jordan was being interviewed.

"Michael, do you think the Lakers have a chance to pull off a comeback tonight?"

"I've observed Wolverine, and his physical fitness is still very good. So in the first half, or even the first three quarters, I think the Lakers have no chance."

"Michael, do you think the Lakers have a chance in the final quarter?"

"Maybe, but if the point difference is too big, even if the Wolverines can't play in the final quarter, it will be difficult for the Lakers to catch up."

"How big of a gap do you think is needed to have a chance?"

"It should be kept within 10 points, 15 at most. In fact, if it exceeds 10 points, the chances are slim."

When the whistle sounded for the second quarter, everyone's eyes were on He Zhongqiu.

"Will Wolverine ever take a break?"

"Will Wolverine be playing?"

"Damn it, he's up."

"God, why doesn't he take a break?"

The Lakers were also watching, and when they saw He Zhongqiu stand up, the pressure in their hearts increased.

"Clap clap clap..."

When the Lakers fans saw He Zhongqiu stand up, they couldn't help but start applauding.

In addition to He Zhongqiu, the other four are fringe inside player Michael Ruffin, and the three outside players are Raja Bell, Ariza, and Tyronn Lue.

On the Lakers side, Yao Ming cannot play, he needs to rest for another two minutes.

Kobe stood up, he was not convinced and wanted to continue playing.

The other three are Luke Walton, Smush Parker, Brian Cook, and Kwame Brown.

Barkley said: "Kwame Brown + Brian Cook, such an inside combination will be beaten by Wolverine with one hand."

"If it's the Shark, he can still use the shark-cutting tactic, but for Wolverine, fouling is giving away points," said Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

On the court, He Zhongqiu shouted to Tyronn Lue: "Cousin, when I'm inside, don't worry about whether I have a position or not, just throw the ball in. When I want the ball, no matter where I am, just pass it."

"OK, cousin, watch me." Tyronn Lue shouted excitedly.

"brush!"

The Lakers attacked, Kobe made a quick stop and jump shot, hitting a mid-range shot.

42:29, Knicks attack.

He Zhongqiu received the ball on the left wing, turned and broke through Kwame Brown, then flew towards Turiak.

Turiaf is a sophomore, a passionate inside player who is good at using time differences to block shots. He averages 1.1 blocks per game this season.

Facing He Zhongqiu's dunk, he simply... dodged.

He had to dodge, he was flying so high, even if he was 208 cm tall and suddenly grew to 228 cm, he still couldn't touch the ball!
“Bang!” “Pah pah pah…”

As the sound of the basket being blasted was heard, applause also rang out in the Staples Center, as if it had become the home court for He Zhongqiu.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said enviously: "Wolverine is like having a pair of wings. When he jumps up, no one can block him, and no one even has the courage to stand in front of him."

Barkley said: "This kind of flying dunk after rushing up, even the big shark will be knocked away."

Kenny Smith said: "Wolverine has taken this violent and talented style of play to an extreme.

I don’t think there will be another player like him.”

Phil Jackson sighed inwardly that Wolverine still used dunking to finish the game, which showed that his physical fitness was still very good.

When Wolverine rushed to the basket, the Lakers were unable to make effective confrontation to consume his physical energy and reduce his hit rate. This was a very fatal problem and he had no way to solve it.

In the second quarter, He Zhongqiu continued to attack with all his strength, even when the Lakers sent out all their main players in the third minute.

After the second quarter, the score was 77:51. The Lakers were already 26 points behind at halftime at home and fell behind by another 11 points in the second quarter.

In the CCTV live studio, Xu Jicheng said: "In fact, the Lakers' offense is also good, 51 points in the first half, which is higher than the average score in the finals.

Yao Ming scored 20 points in 21 minutes in the first half, and Kobe scored 18 points. They both performed very well and had good offensive efficiency.

But Zhongqiu played like crazy today. After Alonzo Mourning was injured, he played like crazy. He scored 35 points in the first quarter, 24 points in the second quarter, and 59 points in the first half. His performance was horrible!"

Yang Jian said excitedly: "59 points in the first half, and 41 points in the second half, it will be over ."

Sun Zhenping nodded and said with emotion: "I can't imagine what would happen if Zhongqiu really broke 100 in the finals?"

Xu Jicheng thought for a moment and said, "Today's score exceeded 100, so the Knicks will definitely win. With a 3-0 lead, defending the title is basically a foregone conclusion.

With four consecutive championships and over 100 points in the finals, I believe his status in the NBA and in the basketball world will surpass that of the God of Basketball, Michael Jordan.”

"Surpass the God of Basketball?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhenping and Yang Jian's eyes lit up.

The TNT live studio was also very lively, with the three commentators excitedly discussing whether He Zhongqiu could break 100 points tonight.

Barkley said: "In the next two quarters, averaging 20.5 points per quarter, do you think it's difficult?"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "I think it would be very difficult for anyone else, even Michael Jordan, because he only scored 20 points in a quarter in the Finals once in his career."

Kenny Smith and Barkley nodded when they heard this.

But at this point, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar changed the subject and continued, "But for Wolverine, based on his crazy performance in the first two quarters, with consecutive 20+ quarters, I think he has a chance to do it next time."

Barkley felt his heart pounding when he thought about the possibility that the Wolverines could score 100 points in a single game in the finals. He had to take a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

Even for him, let alone the finals, even in the regular season, he thought it was almost impossible to score over 100 points in a single game.

Kenny Smith listened to the microphone for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: "Hey, guys, our ratings haven't dropped much, and they are still over 100 million."

"really?"

Barkley thought the ratings would drop drastically during the halftime break, but he didn't expect it to still be over 100 million.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: “45 years ago, Chamberlain scored over points in a single game, when there were only a few teams in the league and there was no television broadcast.

So in fact, not many people watched the game, and everyone only knew about it based on media reports.

And today, we have the opportunity to witness a victory of over 100 points, and it is the finals, and it is the finals of the Knicks and the Lakers, the two most watched teams in the league. The superstar who has the opportunity to break 100 points is a world-class superstar like Wolverine.

I think, at this moment, there are countless people around the world watching this game, and the number of viewers may not be counted.”

Kenny Smith said: "Speaking of Chamberlain, he is really a physical freak! In the season with the most playing time, he played 80 games per game, and his average playing time reached a terrifying 48.5 minutes per game, a record that is difficult to break."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar nodded and said, "The Philadelphia Warriors played seven overtime games that season, and he rarely took a rest, so he averaged 7 minutes per game."

Kenny Smith said: "It seems that Wolverine is also a physical freak, so I think he will not leave the court tonight."

"Probably," Jabbar said.

Barkley nodded excitedly and suddenly said, "The World Cup opens on June 6th. It seems that the finals may end before then."

"It's very possible."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kenny Smith said at the same time.

In the visiting team's locker room, He Zhongqiu was lying on a massage bed, and the team's physiotherapist was massaging his calf muscles.

"Listen up everyone, pass the ball to Wolverine as much as possible in the second half." Ewing called out excitedly.

"affim."

"of course."

"The boss must break 100 today."

All the players started shouting, even the injured Mourning, David Lee and Crawford.

He Zhongqiu also wants to break 100. With his current form, beating the Lakers will be no problem. If he has the chance to break 100, of course he will.

Soon after, the third quarter began.

When He Zhongqiu came on the court, he received applause from all the Lakers fans.

"Zhongqiu, are you serious?" Dayao asked helplessly.

"Dayao, don't worry, I will create a big, glowing background for you tonight," He Zhongqiu comforted.

"You fucking bastard!" Dayao cursed angrily.

After scolding him, he asked again: "You really don't want to rest?"

"Yes, I took a break. I just took a break for fifteen minutes." He Zhongqiu said.

When he heard this, Yao Ming was so depressed that he didn't want to talk anymore.

He Zhongqiu intervened and said, "Actually, Dayao, if I really want to take a break, I will smash your backboard. You don't think I can't smash it, do you? Even if I can't smash the backboard, I can still pull the basket down for you."

Yao Ming's eyes were filled with tears. He looked up at the ceiling in silence, cursing in his heart, "What the hell is this? Isn't this cheating?"

Next, He Zhongqiu began his offensive performance again.

Although not as good as the first quarter, the firepower was comparable to that of the second quarter. He scored 24 points again in a single quarter and 83 points in three quarters, surpassing his highest single-game scoring record in the regular season.
