On April 14, 2019, Beijing time, the Dallas Mavericks ushered in the final game of the regular season of this season.

To be honest, the result of this game against the New Orleans Pelicans does not affect the fact that the Dallas Mavericks have already locked in the regular season first.

Moreover, with the hard strength gap between the two teams this season, under normal circumstances, this game should not have attracted attention from the whole United States.

But because of one thing, the game suddenly became eye-catching.

That is the scoring battle between Bayonet and James Harden.

Because Jiang Hao had two games off last week, this allowed James Harden to seize the opportunity and successfully smoothed out all the gaps between him and Jiang Hao and even overturned.

Before this game begins, all the regular seasons of the Houston Rockets this season have officially come to an end.

James Harden ranked first among all players with an average of 33.8 points per game and a total of 2541 points.

And the next seat is the bayonet.

The Bayonets ranked second with a total score of 2514 per game.

Therefore, for the Bayonets, if they want to turn defeat into victory and defeat James Harden in the scoring king competition, they will need to score at least 28 points in this game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Under such circumstances, the attention of this game was naturally raised, and everyone wanted to witness with their own eyes whether the bayonet could once again turn the tide at the last moment.

With Jiang Hao's offensive ability this season, his opponent in this game is the New Orleans Pelicans with average strength, so it is not difficult for him to score 28 points, but there are always exceptions in everything. The game is the game, and anything can happen during this period.

After all, Michael Jordan is the peak, and he can't guarantee how many points he will get in one game.

So, for the Bayonet, the 28 points in this game were not as simple as I thought.

"I don't think there is any suspense. As the leader of the Dallas Mavericks, in my opinion, for other Dallas Mavericks players, even if they lose this game in the end, they will get as many points as possible. I mean, the Bayonet will get all the Dallas Mavericks players in this game."

In the TNT live broadcast room, when Charles Barkley said these words, he did not notice that Shake O'Neal next to him gradually pulled down.

"But I believe that Bayonet will not take the initiative to do this. He will score 28 points with his own ability. To be honest, I feel a little sympathetic to James Harden, who is sitting in front of the TV and paying attention to this game. Because I have experienced this feeling of being surpassed but eventually being surpassed."

When Shake O'Neal finished saying this, the TNT live broadcast was instantly filled with hilariousness, because everyone remembered the scoring battle between Shake O'Neal and Admiral David Robinson many years ago.

In the 1993-94 season, with Michael Jordan suddenly retiring after winning three consecutive championships, the entire league was in a turmoil, and 10 teams won 50+ wins for the first time. Jordan's throne of scoring for seven years became suspenseful in the fierce competition between Robinson and O'Neal.

On the eve of the regular season finale, O'Neal ranked among the top 29.35 points per game, and Robinson averaged 29.27 points per game and reluctantly followed. Although the two were only 0.08 points, if Robinson wanted to overtake, he had to score more than 60 points in the final game. The highest score in his previous career was only 43 points, and it is easy to imagine how difficult it was.

On April 25, 1994, the Spurs challenged the Clippers away. Robinson, who had always been modest, played aggressively at the beginning of the game and used accurate mid-range shots to win the team's first 18 points. Since then, Robinson has been unstoppable. Not only did he score many strong attacks in the inside, but he also created killing and free throws, he scored 43 points after three quarters.

Due to the huge difference in strength between the two sides, the winner and loser in the fourth quarter was lost early, but in order to help Robinson, the Spurs handed over almost everything to him to attack. The red-eyed Robinson rose inside and outside to increase the score to an astonishing 64 points. Perhaps because they felt that it was not safe enough, Spurs coach John Lucas even "crazy" deliberately fouled the Clippers in a big score lead of 1 minute and 33 seconds to gain offensive time for Robinson, so he scored another 7 points, including a three-pointer at the top of the arc. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Clippers 112-97. Robinson played 44 minutes in the game, scoring 71 points in 26 of 41 shots, creating the highest score in his personal career, while also overtaking O'Neal with a 0.44-point advantage to steal the scoring king.

After the game, the Spurs coach surrounded Robinson like a hero returning, shouting, "David won!" Although some media accused Robinson of scoring points, O'Neal was even more angry and scolded Robinson as a ridiculous hypocrite, Lucas strongly supported his favorite disciple: "Record is a record. Robinson achieved a 71-point feat based on his own strength. No matter how defense he faces, he can send the ball into the basket. No matter how angry others are, he cannot change the fact that he scores the scorer."

"We can't comment on what has been so many years. In fact, the media misinterpreted my meaning at that time. I did not mock David. He was able to get 71 points in the last moment. That was his ability. I just wanted to show the excitement of this kind of thing through this incident. I believe that James Harden is 100% the same as what I thought at the beginning."

O'Neal reiterated one seriously, that is, he did not mock David Robinson. As he said, it was also a skill to get 71 points. After all, not everyone can do it in that situation. In other words, being able to get the support of his teammates is itself a kind of recognition of strength.

"From my understanding of the bayonet, his personality is full of competition, and before that, he publicly stated that he wanted to win the scoring champion more than once, so we have reason to believe that he will be fully fired in this game."

"The only question now is whether the bayonet will ask his teammates to help him with all their strength? Or that kind of suggestive requirement."

Kenny Smith said.

"Absolutely no, the bayonet is very similar to Kobe in his youth. In my case, I would only believe in themselves, what they want, they would personally go all out to win. I mean, the bayonet cannot ask for help, in this case, he doesn't even believe everyone except him. Although this sounds a bit incredible, it is a fact."

O'Neal shook his head, he knew so much about players like the bayonet.

So what was the state of Bayonet himself before the start of this game?

"I don't want to say those boring polite words, I just say, I want the scoring champion, so I will do my best."
