The second half of the game continued.
As the manager, Thibodeau, had decided to give up, Noah, who had been beaten mentally in the first half, did not continue to play.
Instead, he switched to a lineup of three defenders to see if a miracle would happen after the pace was accelerated.
However, after Ye Ran's strong attacks from the inside, he quickly gave up on his fantasies.
The Bulls, who were already defenseless, were easily defeated without Noah.
There were three minutes left in the third quarter, and the gap was 35 points.
Both teams simultaneously replaced all their main players and announced that the game had entered garbage time.
A group of substitutes from the Knicks came on stage happily and showed off their might.
They had defeated their opponents in three quarters in two consecutive games and had a lot of playing time in each game. For these fringe players, it was a blessing.
When the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match.
The Knicks scored 132:100.
They won the game at the United Center Arena.
He had achieved two consecutive victories in the beginning.
Ye Ran scored 34 20 6 in the first half.
With a 52 27 9 performance, he was undoubtedly the MVP of the match!
On the other hand, Carmelo Anthony passed the ball again and scored a double-double performance of 19 points and 10 assists. He had two consecutive double-double assists in two games.
This was also the first time in Anthony's career that he had assisted in two consecutive games.
This made many fans stunned. Was this still the original Melo Anthony who was obsessed with playing solo?
Who said that his passing ability was not good?
On the other side, the Bulls 'center player, Jokinoah, had only played half of the game, and his stats were all 0.
It could be said that he had played the most humiliating game of his career.
The Bulls had more than 40 rebounding points.
In this game, Ye Ran had grabbed 27 boards by himself…
For a team like the Bulls that focused on defense and rebound protection, this was a huge humiliation.
"Congratulations to Ye Ran for creating an incredible record. The rookie scored 50 points in two consecutive games!”
"Ye Ran has already set a historical record for two consecutive matches!”
"How many players in the NBA have never scored more than 50 points in their entire lives? Ye Ran actually did it in two consecutive games!”
"He also got 27 boards and nine blocks. If he plays all four quarters in this game, he has a chance to get his first triple-double in his career!”
"His performance made me completely unable to believe that he was a rookie. How many superstars can't produce such amazing numbers!”
" Perhaps, we are witnessing the rise of a legend. A new era is coming!”
The two commentators in the ESPM commentary booth sounded excited.
Just like they said, it wasn't uncommon for superstars in the league to get 50 points, but it was rare for them to get 50 points in two consecutive games.
What was even more terrifying was that Ye Ran had only played for three quarters in these two games.
If the opponent was a little stronger and let him play the entire game, the fans did not even dare to think about what kind of super data he would produce.
Among the rookies of the same year, there was no one who was worthy of being compared to him.
Only those legendary superstars who were destined to leave their names in history were the ones Ye Ran compared them to.
After the game, Noah was the first to return to the locker room. He had planned to slip away and not accept the interview.
However, he was surprised to find a few reporters waiting in the locker room…
It turned out that today was the opening day of the Bulls 'locker room. The reporters were allowed to enter the room for interviews.
This made Noah feel like he was on the verge of collapse. He felt that when he was unlucky, even water would be stuck in the gaps of his teeth.
"Qiao Jin, what do you think about this match? Before the match, you said that you wanted Ye Ran to have no more than 10 points.”
"But he got a career-high 52 points and 27 rebounded!”
The reporters, who liked to stir up trouble, directly asked the fans the most concerned and the sharpest question!
In the pre-match interview, Noah made a big fuss about making Ye Ran's data not exceed 10.
After the match, Ye Ran's 52 27 performance made Noah look like a joke.
"Obviously, I want to apologize for my stupid remarks before the game. Ye Ran is not a simple rookie. He has the potential to become a superstar.”
"It's obvious that I was locked in today, not Ye Ran. I didn't get a single point under his defense.”
"Losing to a future superstar like Ye Ran isn't embarrassing!”
Facing the cruel reality, Noah lowered his proud head and admitted his mistake in front of the camera.
He knew that with Ye Ran's strength, he would definitely be a super member of the Alliance in the future.
If he continued to be stubborn now, he might continue to be slapped in the face in the future.
In order to avoid such a situation, it was better to admit defeat now.
"The reason why we lost this match was because of me. My strategy failed!”Bulls head coach Thibodeau took full responsibility in the interview.
"I underestimated Ye Ran's offensive and defensive abilities. As a manager, I have failed in my duties.”
"Today, Ye Ran taught me a lesson. Never underestimate anyone!”
"In the future, I will keep this in mind and find a way to continue improving the team.”
It had to be said that although Thibodeau was not a good-tempered manager, he was at least a manager who dared to take responsibility.
They lost the match by a large margin.
Other than the difference in strength, he had let Ye Ran play too easily. The slow adjustment on the spot was definitely one of the responsibilities.
Although he had specially held a pre-match meeting before the game, he did not arrange any tactics specifically for Ye Ran because he looked down on him.
Therefore, he was not wronged to take the blame.
