Chapter 629 The Tsunami Brothers
After the third quarter, the game has lost its suspense.

Clay's godlike performance widened the point difference to a gap of 25 points, and also broke the morale of the Kings.

In the fourth quarter, the main force of the Warriors did not play again, and the Kings also lost all will to resist. The game soon entered garbage time. In the end, the Warriors beat the Kings 120:97.

克莱全场22投16中，三分12中10，罚球7中7，狂砍49分5助攻2篮板1抢断1封盖，其中第三节13中13，三分9中9，罚球2中2，砍下37分，打破由乔治-格文和卡梅隆-安东尼共同保持的NBA单节得分纪录。

After the game, the Warriors embraced Clay and went back to the locker room. Everyone took a bottle of water and poured it on his head to "cool down" his fiery touch. Even Zhang Yu couldn't help but give Clay A glass of ice water was poured over his head.

Clay smiled and accepted the "baptism" of his teammates and coaches. Although he was in a mess, he was happier than anyone else in his heart.

For a scorer, the scoring record in a single quarter is second only to the scoring record in a single game, and it is one of the most valuable records. Although it is not as hard as the scoring champion, it ranks among the top ten scoring records in a single quarter Those on the list are all the top scorers in history such as Anthony, George Gervin, David Thompson, Chamberlain, Kobe, Jordan, and from now on, Klay will be on par with these names, and even overwhelm them , No one can question his scoring ability anymore.

No matter how crazy the celebration was, there was an end, and everyone finally stopped pouring water on Clay's head, and booed for Clay to say a few words.

Clay wiped his face from top to bottom twice, shook the water off his head, poohed twice, and muttered:

"I'm going to take a shower, hiss...it's too cold!"

……

There was a kind of laughter in the crowd, this sentence is too "Clay"!

Kobe tweeted:
"Klay Thompson! Great scoring performance!!"

During the intermission, Zhang Yu delivered a speech, which boosted the morale of the whole team.

……

Clay's reaction was emotional:
"I can break the scoring record in a single quarter. I must thank the boss for arranging tactics for me. In the third quarter, everyone is passing the ball for me. I thank my teammates for their trust in me. Without their help, I would not be able to break this record. At the same time, I am very sure that I have regained my touch. This game is a good sign, a very good sign! I saw some people on the Internet saying that I am just a neurotic knife. Today’s game speaks for itself. Did you score 37 points in the first quarter?"

Before that, Clay was just an excellent scorer and an excellent shooter, but from now on, he is one of the most explosive scorers in NBA history, and this record is the best proof.

In the second half, Zhang Yu dispatched the Death Five, and the Warriors set off a storm of counterattacks. The Splash Brothers made a total of 7 three-pointers, leading the team to a 37:22 super attack wave, reversing the score in one fell swoop and establishing the final victory. .

After the game against the Kings, the Warriors flew to Dallas non-stop the next day, and on December 12, they challenged the Mavericks away.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Rockets 121:110. Curry scored 34 points, Clay scored 26 points, Leonard scored 22 points, and the three scored 82 points. When the others were in poor condition, they carried the team. Take eight straight victories.

After the turmoil, Zhang Yu took Clay, Curry, Green, and Dinwiddie to today's post-match interview.

After Clay scored 37 points in a single quarter, Ren Du's second line seemed to be opened up. In the game against the Mavericks, he continued to work hard, making 17 of 8 shots, 13 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and 25 of 4 free throws. With 2 points, 4 rebounds, 112 assists and 95 steals, the Warriors beat the Mavericks [-]:[-] and won seven consecutive victories.

But 37 points in a single quarter is unprecedented, which is an extreme manifestation of scoring explosiveness. At the same time, 9 three-pointers also broke the NBA record for three-pointers made in a single quarter.

Dinwiddie said:
"I am very honored to witness history on the spot. This is the craziest scoring performance in a single quarter in the history of the NBA. I still have an unbelievable feeling that it just happened. This is simply unbelievable. Let's have a drink!"

However, today only Clay is the protagonist, and most of the reporter's questions are related to Clay, and the others can only be counted.

Warriors fans are very satisfied with the name of this offensive combination, Curry is the best shooting point guard in the league, Klay is the best shooting guard in the league, they argue with Thunder fans, Leonard or Durant who is the best The best shooting small forward in the league, Leonard temporarily overwhelmed Durant with his abnormal three-point shooting percentage and the Warriors' first record in the league.

库里22分，格林7分13篮板8助攻4抢断3封盖的全能表现，丁威迪替补上场，18分7助攻的小爆发，也是勇士今天能击败国王的重要功臣。

It's just that when the All-Star game was approaching, the status of the Warriors' team had some ups and downs, and the mentality of the players was also a little slack. In a few games, the intensity of away defense was very low. Zhang Yu even had two rounds of rest, and only lost four games. Contest.

……

Moreover, the "Big Three" is too prevalent now, and many teams have the Big Three. This shocking title that used to be said is almost rotten.

After the title of "Brother Tsunami" was proposed, it spread immediately.

Anthony has a game to play today. He scored 29 points and led the team to beat the Celtics. He was in a good mood. After the game, the reporter reminded him that the scoring record in a single quarter had been broken. He also congratulated Clay:
"Records are meant to be broken. Congratulations to Clay. He is a very good scorer. I hope he can get back to his form and perform better."

December 12 is a big game day. The league has arranged a total of 28 games, including the Raptors against the Bulls, the Spurs against the Clippers, the Wizards against the Eagles, and the Grizzlies against the Thunder.

As long as the whole team can maintain the best condition and the strongest fighting spirit in the playoffs, that's enough.

The Warriors lineup that Zhang Yu has painstakingly built has overflowing offensive resources.

He and Clay didn't know each other. They met many times in high school, and they were also rivals in the NBA. They were also little princes of nightclubs. They had the same hobbies. It can be said that they cherish each other.

Love and Clay have been friends since they were young. They met when they were playing baseball in Oregon, and then they both embarked on the road of basketball. The relationship between their families is also very good, and they are really good brothers.

But after the third quarter, the entry of this game has rushed to the No. 3 trending search on Twitter. No. 1 is "Clay scored 37 points in a single quarter".

On December 12, the Warriors challenged the Rockets in back-to-back away games, and Clay once again played a key role.

从1月份到2月13日全明星周末开始之前，勇士取得了16胜4负的豪华战绩，其中在1月上半旬有一波九连胜，延续了12月八连胜的良好状态。

Harden also tweeted, complete with a glaring emoji:

Although Green's three-pointers still haven't picked up, as he said, it doesn't matter at all whether he can make open three-pointers in the regular season.

In this way, the Warriors have gathered the three best shooters from outside positions in the league, and the title of "Tsunami Brothers" is well-deserved!

"Congratulations to my brother Klay for breaking the scoring record in a single quarter. It's a great achievement. I'm so happy for him. He's a real super shooter!"

Curry, Green, and Dinwiddie also sent the most sincere congratulations to Clay. Curry said:

Spurs star George "Iceman" Gervin, who is also the co-holder of the NBA single-quarter scoring record, tweeted after the game:
"Congratulations Klay Thompson, I'm glad to see you broke this record, you are a true professional, I love your shooting and defense, congratulations again!"

The Warriors-Kings game didn't get much attention, and it wasn't even nationally televised.

Shortly after the game, Love, who scored 28 points and led the team to a big victory over the Pistons in the absence of James, also posted a tweet immediately:
"Congratulations to my brother Clay for breaking the record, break those doubts, you are the best shooter!"

However, this means that the Warriors have now maintained the No. 3 ranking in the league and are [-] games ahead of the Thunder, which is ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference. Zhang Yu can be so magnanimous.

"I have recovered my form. My shooting has never felt so good. I will play better and help the team win more games!"

Clay is naturally the most dazzling player for the Warriors today, but without the outstanding performance of others, the Warriors would not be able to win.

If the Warriors have a poor record and are still struggling for a place in the playoffs, he will never allow players to relax.

Before Christmas, the Warriors' offense relied on Curry and Leonard's performance. Clay played a few games, and Zhang Yu specially arranged a lot of tactics for him in order to find him a touch. The Warriors also lost a few games because of this. Contest.

Someone proposed the title "Tsunami Brothers". Curry and Clay are splash brothers. Leonard's three-point shooting rate this season has reached a terrifying 44.7%, which is the highest among the three, averaging two three-pointers per game. The ball is also the top shooter in the league, which can be tied with Curry and Clay.

The next day, reports from the major media, praise from commentators, and exclamation from celebrities spread across the Internet like wild flowers blooming everywhere.

"Incredible third quarter, congratulations to my brother Klay!"

Of course, Zhang Yu couldn't escape the reporters' questions. Unlike the surprise and admiration shown by the Warriors players, Zhang Yu's reaction to Clay's record breaking was relatively indifferent, and even gave people a feeling that he knew it would happen:
"This is a very remarkable achievement. I have to praise Klay. In the past period of time, his state has struggled a bit, but he has maintained a steady state of mind. He is not rushing or rushing. He has been playing in the right way. This record is In return for Clay's mentality, if he does the right thing, he will naturally get a good return, even if he doesn't have 37 points, he can still get 36 points, 35 points, congratulations Clay, he is back!"

After the game, the Warriors fans were very excited and praised the performance of the Warriors' Big Three, but some people raised objections, thinking that although Green is a blue-collar player, he is the best defensive player and was selected to the best third team. The names of the Big Four and the Big Three do not match the facts.

In the first half, the Warriors, who fought back to back, were a little sluggish, trailing the Rockets by 53 points at 58:5.

37 points in a single quarter is even more shocking than 60+ points in a single game, or even 70+ points in a single game. Kobe Bryant's 81 points in a single game and Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game are among the best. It caused a moment of wonder, and then stopped paying attention.

"Hahaha……"

After Christmas, once Clay broke the record, he finally recovered, the tsunami brothers merged, and the Warriors' offensive frenzy swept the league.

Before the start of the season, he announced that he would retire after the end of the season. His mentality was much calmer and he was no longer so paranoid. He often praised young players who played well on Twitter.

Before the game was over, some players who hadn't played tweeted to praise Clay's performance.

People have no time to pay attention to other games. Clay’s impressive performance has shocked the entire United States. ESPN, TNT, and ABC TV stations are all regretful. Such a famous game in history is not broadcast live in the United States. How much traffic will be lost? !

But Zhang Yu didn't blame everyone. In the long 82 regular season games, he couldn't ask the players to be tense all the time, and it was inevitable that they would relax sometimes.

……

Zhang Yu also praised Clay's performance:
"It's great to see Klay regain his touch. His long-range shooting is very important to the team. Without his three-pointers, the Warriors' game is incomplete..."

Green said:

Curry, Clay, Leonard, and Antetokounmpo, as the top four scorers in the Warriors, are comparable to the offensive firepower of other teams, as well as Bogdan, Olynyk, Wiggins, Ding No team can defend the Warriors' offense with high-quality role players such as Weedy and Covington.

The most important thing is that Curry, Clay, and Leonard are all 20+ scorers per game. Their offensive firepower is the best in the league. Their shooting is like a tsunami, which can destroy any opponent's defense.

"Clay changed the situation of the game. We didn't establish much advantage in the first half, but his performance in the third quarter destroyed the King's defense. He proved with his actions that he is still the omnipotent Lai!"

In the post-match interview, Clay said with high spirits:

In the season when Curry first entered the league, the Warriors needed to work hard for the playoffs. Zhang Yu did not hesitate to let Curry take the ball and let go. It is common to play 38 or 39 minutes in a game.

At that time, the Warriors won only one game, and they were not qualified to consider whether they still had enough physical strength in the playoffs. Zhang Yu could not wait to let Curry play for 40 minutes. As long as he could win, he didn't mind killing the main players. Never take a vacation.

Rotational rest is a luxury, and only the top-ranked teams are eligible to have it. Teams working hard for the playoffs have no other choice but to kill their main players.

　Make up for today.
