After the start of the second half, players from both sides returned to the field and the game continued.

Zhang Yu made adjustments, Curry, Clay, Leonard, Green, and Antetokounmpo made their debut. The king is also Rondo, McColemo, Rudy Gay, Casspi, and Cousin The main lineup composed of Si.

The Kings attacked, Cousins ​​blocked Green for the ball inside, Rondo passed the ball, and the others opened up space.

Cousins ​​hit Green with his back, and Green was pushed back steadily, but his confrontation was stronger than Olynik, and he did not fall into a defeat. Antetokounmpo came up to help defend, and Cousins ​​passed to Casspi.

Leonard's rotation was in place, Casspi hit a three-pointer, and the long rebound fell into Clay's hands.

Clay quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and McColemo kept blocking him. Seeing that there was no good shot, Clay passed the ball to Green, who followed up in the middle, and ran to the bottom corner to open up space.

His offensive desire is indeed very strong, but he will not shoot for the sake of shooting. If there is a better opportunity and not passing the ball, that is not what a qualified Warriors player should do.

Green catches the ball and advances to the basket, the three of the Kings shrink, and Green passes the ball to Curry on the outside.

Curry was left unattended, caught and shot, and hit the net with a three-pointer, 58:53.

Looking back, Cousins ​​received the ball from a high position, played face-to-face singles, took advantage of his size, stuck Green in a position, broke through to the inside, and made a successful mid-range shot with an emergency stop, 55:58.

Cousins ​​likes to attack from the outside with the ball very much. Faced with this alternative style of play, Green has nothing to do. His disadvantages in size and strength are too great.

Fortunately, in the next round, after Leonard made a mid-range shot, Zhang Yu adjusted his defensive matchup, letting Antetokounmpo go against Cousins ​​and Green against Casspi.

Antetokounmpo's strength is stronger than Green's, and his height does not suffer in front of Cousins, and can cover Cousins' shooting space, so Cousins ​​​​does not take another shot, but wants to advance to the basket Down and then shot.

He forced himself into the penalty area, but gave Green time to assist in the defense. Green saw it before making a move. He took the ball and passed it to Clay next to him.

Clay advanced quickly with the ball. In front of him, Curry took the lead. McColemo turned around and Rondo chased Curry together.

Curry rushed into the penalty area, but made a detour, ran to the weak side, and took away Rondo and McColemo.

Clay dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, with no defense in front of him, pulled up and shot, a three-pointer hollowed into the net, 61:55.

Round transition, Rondo and Cousins ​​play a pick-and-roll, Cousins ​​rolls down, attracting Leonard's shrinking help defense, Rondo points the ball to Rudy Gay on the weak side, the latter dribbles against Clay's defense , a long two-pointer, 61:57.

The Warriors attacked, Leonard screened for Clay on the weak side, the Kings switched defenses, and Curry lobbed the ball to Leonard.

Leonard misplaced McColemo in singles and had advantages in height and weight, but McColemo's defense was very hard. Under his interference, Leonard turned over and hit the iron with a jumper.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu frowned slightly. Today's Kings are in a very good state. No matter how they shoot, they are also very active in defense. It is not a simple matter for the Warriors to win today.

The Kings attacked, Casspi screened for McColemo, and the Warriors switched defenses. McColemo didn't have the opportunity to run out of space, but Rondo still passed the ball. McColemo made a three-pointer against Antetokounmpo.

Looking back, Green held the ball in a low post, Antetokounmpo raised it up to cover Curry, Cousins ​​couldn't defend it, Curry received Green's pass, made an open three-pointer, and hit the iron.

"Oh……"

There was a huge sigh from the audience. This was an absolutely good opportunity for Curry, but he was unlucky and it was a pity that he didn't grasp it.

Curry himself shook his head in annoyance, and turned back to defend.

Fortunately, in the next round, he made up for it.

The king attacked, Rondo passed the ball to Rudy Gay for singles, Curry suddenly emptied Rondo, went up to pinch, broke the ball from Rudy Gay, and ran forward.

Clay followed up from the other side, and the King had no time to retreat. Only McColemo retreated to the backcourt.

Curry pushed towards the basket, McColemo had to come up to intercept, Clay inserted into the penalty area, Curry threw the ball into the sky, Clay grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket heavily with one hand!
Bang!

63: 57.

"Klay-Thompson!!"

The DJ at the scene shouted Clay's name, and the fans cheered loudly. Clay punched hard and let out a loud roar, venting the depression that had accumulated in his heart for a long time.

But the king's morale was not affected by this dunk. Looking back, Cousins ​​played a low single, which caused Antetokounmpo's foul and made two free throws, 63:59.

After hitting the free throw, Cousins ​​gave the crowd a defiant look.

We haven't lost yet!
Green sent the baseline ball, Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, Antetokounmpo set a screen for Clay on the weak side, Clay raised 45 degrees, and Curry passed the ball.

McColemo's focus was so intense that he slipped past Antetokounmpo's screen in time to reattach to Klay.

Seeing this, Antetokounmpo immediately stuck Cousins ​​behind his back, reached out for the ball, and wanted to play tactics again.

But Clay didn't intend to pass the ball. He took a step back, then changed direction, handed the ball to his right hand, and suddenly pulled it up and shot!
McColemo's reaction was quick, and he rushed over immediately and raised his hand to interfere, but there was a gap between his height and Clay, and he didn't touch the basketball.

brush!
The basketball flew past McColemo's fingertips and fell into the net, 66:59.

"Unbelievable shooting, Klay scored the first 8 points in the third quarter!" Warriors on-site commentator Bob Fitzgerald said.

"It seems that he has found his form, and the Warriors need his performance." Jim Barnett echoed.

Jim Barnett started in 1985, and Bob Fitzgerald started in 1993 as the team's on-site commentator. It has been more than 20 years, and they are the two voices most familiar to Bay Area fans.

After Klay made a three-pointer, Curry was the first to run up to give him a high-five, shouting:

"Good job, Clay, I knew it, you must be fine!"

Others also ran past Clay and gave him high fives. Clay grinned:
"Don't forget to pass the ball to me, I have found the feeling!"

"Okay!" Everyone laughed.

The Kings, who were 7 points behind, began to get a little impatient. Cousins ​​wanted the ball from a high position, but instead of hitting the inside line, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Clay reached out for the ball, Green passed the ball, Clay dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt, Antetokounmpo consciously screened for him, Cousins ​​and McColemo both pounced, Clay had no room to shoot, Passed back to Green, who followed up in the middle, and took two steps back.

Green dribbled the ball twice, failed to find any good passing route, and passed it back to Clay. Clay pointed in front of him, signaling Green to cover him.

But Green just took a step this way, and McColemo's attention was also attracted by Green, preparing and covering, Clay was two steps outside the three-point line, suddenly pulled up and shot!
brush!
McColemo's reaction was a step slower, the interference was not enough, and a three-pointer went into the net, 69:59.

"Three points - Klay Thompson~~~"

The high-pitched voice of the DJ at the scene seemed to overturn the ceiling of the Chase Center, and the Warriors' bench was also boiling.

"Clay's three-pointer! It was a sudden shot, and he fooled everyone!" Jim Barnett said loudly.

"It's Klay's 11th point in the quarter, and he's in attack mode!" Bob Fitzgerald said.

The 10-point lag made the Kings players very impatient. Rondo and Cousins ​​picked and rolled and broke through to the penalty area. Under the double interference of Antetokounmpo and Clay, they missed a layup.

The rebound was accepted by Antetokounmpo, and the Warriors counterattacked. Antetokounmpo made a long pass to find Leonard who was going down quickly.

Clay sent the frontcourt ball, Curry transitioned to Green on the weak side, Green and Leonard handed over, Rudy Gay and Casspi switched defenses.

Leonard held the ball at the top of the arc and Green went down. At the same time, Clay started from the weak side and cut into the penalty area first. McColemo followed him closely.

Clay scored 11 points in the third quarter, and two three-pointers were made against McCollum, which made him feel ashamed. Don't let him score again.

After Clay came to the penalty area, he stopped for a while, and after Green and Leonard on the line finished hand-to-hand, he used Antetokounmpo's cover to cut out to the strong side, and McColemo followed closely.

But then, Green made another screen for Clay. McColemo finally couldn't keep up. Casspi's footsteps were slow. Clay came to 45 degrees and received a pass from Leonard for a three-pointer.

brush!
McColemo was late, and the basketball went hollow, 72:59.

"The 14th point! Clay found the three-pointer and made four three-pointers in a single quarter!" Bob Fitzgerald said.

"Clay! Clay!" The audience also got excited and shouted Clay's name.

The Kings players were a little overwhelmed, but even if it was like this, Tyrone Corbin did not call a timeout, allowing the players to adjust themselves on the court, and no one knew what he thought.

Fortunately, Rudy Gay stepped forward, singled Leonard, made a mid-range emergency stop jumper, and helped the King stop the bleeding, 72:61.

The Warriors attacked, and after Curry received the baseline ball from Antetokounmpo, he passed it directly to Clay.

Clay dribbled the ball across the half court and waved his hand. The others opened up the space, and McCollum was on the verge of a formidable enemy.

Clay carried McColemo sideways to dribble to the left of the free throw line, half-turned and raised his hand and waved it. McColemo jumped up directly, and Clay collected the ball. After he landed, he jumped up and shot. The action is very stretched.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 74:61.

"At the 16th point, Clay started his personal attack mode, and he didn't concede a goal in the second half!" Bob Fitzgerald exclaimed.

"The point difference has also been widened, and the Kings are losing control of the game!" Jim Barnett said.

At this time, with 5 minutes left in the third quarter, the Warriors fans were all smiling when they saw that the game had finally entered the rhythm they expected.

On the sidelines, Zhang Yu looked very surprised when he saw Clay scoring the 16th point in a single quarter with his head in his hands.

Cole looked at Zhang Yu strangely:

"Ronan, what's wrong with you?"

"Klay, he, he scored 16 points..." Zhang Yu murmured, his eyes widened.

"16 points? Isn't this a good thing, Clay finally found the touch." Cole was even more surprised.

"But this is playing against the Kings, at our home court, or in the third quarter!" Zhang Yu grabbed Cole's arm with an incredulous expression.

"Ah? Is there any problem?" Cole asked puzzled.

Zhang Yu took a few deep breaths, calmed down slowly, and let go of Cole's hand, but his fingers were still trembling slightly:
"You'll know later, Clay may be about to make a big event today, the kind of event that will go down in history!"

……

When Zhang Yu and Cole were talking, the king had already completed an attack, Casspi hit a three-pointer, 74:64, the king was still tenaciously resisting.

Looking back, the Warriors still wanted to find Clay, but McColemo followed him tightly, and the King also deliberately blocked the passing route between the Warriors players and Clay.

After spending more than ten seconds of attack time, he never found a chance to pass the ball to Clay. Antetokounmpo, who took the ball, decided to come by himself. , European step layup, 76:64.

The Kings attacked, and Rondo's pass to Cousins ​​was predicted in advance by Green. He came out of the diagonal stab and completed the steal. The Warriors pushed to counterattack.

Green took two steps from the right and passed it to Curry in the middle. Curry advanced with the ball. Clay was on the left and Green was on the right. The Warriors played a three-line fast break. Measure, retreat to the position below the free throw line.

Curry came to the top of the arc and threw the ball to Clay, who followed up from the left. Only then did McColemo remember that the Warriors are different from other teams. Their first choice for fast break is three-pointers!
McColemo rushed towards Clay in a hurry, but it was too late. Clay shot the ball as soon as he caught it, and his movements were extremely smooth.

brush!
A three-pointer went into the net, 79:64.

"Oh, my god! 19 points, Klay is unstoppable!" Bob Fitzgerald yelled.

The cheers in the auditorium also became much louder. For Clay, who was in a very struggling state, 19 points in a single quarter was the best performance of the season. They saw the hope of Clay's recovery.

"One more point, Clay!"

"Take a single section of 20+!"

"You're finally back, Clay!"

The fans are looking forward to Clay getting 20+ in a single quarter, clearing up the previous decline and getting on the right track.

Clay waved his hand towards the auditorium, shook his right hand twice, and smiled.

There was a hot feeling in his palm, and he knew that everything was back.

……

The Kings attacked, and Rondo played the role of Ding Haishenzhen. He patiently controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and did not get impatient because the score was behind. Detokunbo's assisted defense made a layup, 79:66.

Looking back, Clay came to the low post on the left, stuck McColemo behind him, the rest of the Warriors pulled away, and Curry passed the ball.

Clay hit McColemo with his back, Casspi came up to help defend, Clay jumped up and threw the ball to Green who went around the basket, Green was left unattended, turned around and made a layup, 81:66.

"Beautiful pass! After Clay attracted the defense, he assisted Green to complete a layup. He did not deliberately pursue 20+ in a single quarter and made the most correct choice." Bob Fitzgerald praised.

After Green made a layup, he came up and clapped Clay hard, and said with a smile:
"Thanks, brother, I'll pass the ball to you later!"

In the next round, Cousins ​​singled Antetokounmpo, hit the iron in the mid-range shot, and the rebound was protected by the recovered Curry.

The Warriors attacked, Curry passed the ball to Green at the top of the arc, and ran to the weak side to open up space. Green kept paying attention to Clay's running position.

Clay borrowed Antetokounmpo's cover and went up to 45 degrees on the strong side. McColemo was blocked, but he quickly squeezed through the cover and followed up.

But Green still passed the ball, and Clay shot the ball as soon as he caught it, even if McColemo stuck to him, he was not afraid at all.

Due to Clay's height advantage, McColemo didn't touch the basketball, but it still caused a strong interference to Clay.

Clay adjusted the arc of his shot slightly, and the shot was a little shorter. The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high.

"Oh……"

There was a loud sigh from the audience, and the fans who had raised their arms high to celebrate Clay's goal put their arms down again in disappointment.

But at this moment, the basketball bounced high and bounced off the backboard, and fell straight down again, falling into the net!

84: 66.

"Yeah!!"

The fans raised their arms again, raised their arms and shouted, and a huge sound wave swept through the entire Chase Center.

"The 22nd point! This is the first time Clay has scored 20 points in a single quarter this season!" Bob Fitzgerald shouted.

The king, who was behind by a big score, still did not give up the fight. McColemo made atonement and hit a three-pointer with a pass from Rudy Gay, 84:69.

The Warriors attacked, and Curry dribbled the ball across half court without looking at anyone else, and passed it directly to Clay who followed behind.

After Clay received the ball, he paused for a moment and looked up at the basket. The nervous McColemo immediately took a step forward, ready to block Clay's shot. The other Kings players also stared at Clay. Always be ready to help.

They have been feared by Clay.

But Clay just made a feint. He then dribbled the ball into the three-point line, throwing McColemo a position away, and mentioned that Casspi and Rudy Gay, who were above the free throw line, rushed over, but they also fell behind. took half of his body.

Clay rushed into the penalty area and picked the basket directly. Cousins ​​jumped from the side and jumped up to block the block, but he was a step slower. Clay was surrounded by four Kings players and made a layup, 86:69.

"24 points! Klay Thompson broke his career scoring record in a single quarter!" Bob Fitzgerald yelled.

"The Warriors have controlled the game, and the Kings were defeated by Clay alone!" Jim Barnett said.

But he underestimated the fighting spirit of the Kings players. Looking back, Cousins ​​played Antetokounmpo in a low post, and Green came to help defend, but was a step slower, and Cousins ​​scored 2+1, 86:72.

In the next round, the Warriors still wanted to find Clay, but Clay was so stared at that he failed to pass the ball several times. When 24 seconds were about to expire, Green made a hasty three-pointer and hit the iron with a long rebound. It fell into the hands of Rondo.

Rondo pushed for a fast break, but the Warriors retreated quickly, and the other Kings players failed to follow up in time.

Rondo rushed into the Warriors penalty area for a layup by himself, missed the basket under Leonard's interference, and the rebound was accepted by Antetokounmpo.

The Warriors turned from defense to offense, and Antetokounmpo advanced with the ball in the middle and passed it to Curry who followed up on the left.

Curry took the ball all the way to the top of the arc, flicked his left hand, and the basketball passed between Antetokounmpo and Green, and came into the hands of Clay on the far right.

Clay pulled up and shot, Casspi jumped up to interfere, but he was already a step behind, the basketball went into the net hollow, 89:72.

"The 27th point! Clay is killing all directions!!" Bob Fitzgerald shouted loudly, his voice trembling because of being too excited.

After Klay made the three-pointer, he stuck his tongue out, laughed and ran back to the backcourt, surrounded by standing ovations.

In the Chase Center, not many people are still sitting and watching the game. They all realize that something unusual will happen today.

The Kings were also intimidated by Clay's aura, and the offensive end lost its tricks. Cousins ​​​​hastily shot a long two-pointer and missed the basket.

The rebound was protected by Leonard, and Clay directly reached out to him for the ball, and Leonard passed the ball immediately.

Clay dribbled the ball across half court and played a pick-and-roll with Green at the top of the arc. McColemo was blocked, and Clay dribbled to the free throw line.

Casspi immediately greeted him, and Rudy Gay ignored Leonard, and returned to Clay to help defend.

But Clay doesn't care so much, he only has the basket in his eyes now, and against the interference of Casspi and Rudy Gay, he pulls up and shoots.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 91:72.

"Good! 29 points, incredible goal, Klay Thompson chasing the records of George Gervin and Carmelo Anthony!" Bob Fitzgerald shouted.

His voice was already a little hoarse, but he didn't bother to drink water.

"There is 1 minute and 31 seconds left in the third quarter. Clay only needs to score 5 more points to break the record. There is enough time. I hope he can seize this opportunity!" Jim Barnett said nervously.

At the turn of the round, Rondo controlled the ball at the top of the arc and stabilized his rhythm, but it was of no use.

The Warriors' morale was like a rainbow, and there was no flaw in the defense. The King passed the ball several times, but failed to find a chance. In the end, McColemo hit the iron with a three-pointer, and the rebound was captured by Antetokounmpo.

The Warriors attacked, Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, came to the left sideline, next to Clay, and the other three stood on the weak side. They also lost their minds, forgot to run tactics, and wanted to find Clay for every ball.

The audience has all stood up and stared at Clay intently. At this moment, he is the focus of the audience, the center of the spotlight.

Clay made an air cut, Curry passed the ball, and McColemo hurriedly took a step back to block Clay's passing route.

Clay withdrew to the three-point line, and McColemo followed, but Clay ignored his defense and shot immediately.

McColemo only had time to raise his hand, and could only watch the basketball fly overhead.

brush!
The basketball went into the net hollow, 94:72.

"Oh, my god!! Point 32, tonight, he is God!" Bob Fitzgerald almost broke his voice.

"Klay! Klay!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

The fans have lost the ability to organize words, just chanting Klay's name.

Looking back, the Kings players were completely panicked. Even Rondo, who has seen many big scenes, has never experienced such a thing.

They had no morale, they just passed the ball ineffectively on the periphery, and finally Cousins ​​made a long two-pointer. Fortunately, he was lucky, and the basketball stumbled and fell into the basket, 94:74.

The Warriors are attacking, and everyone knows that the Warriors are definitely looking for Clay. The King is strictly guarding Clay, McColemo sticks to him tightly, and the others are ready to help defend at any time.

At this time, Zhang Yu made a gesture, and the Warriors understood and started running.

Leonard is in the bottom corner on the right, opening up space, Antetokounmpo and Green stand on both sides of the free throw line, and Clay stands in the left corner.

After Curry dribbled the ball for half court, he handed the ball to Green, then ran to the left 45 degrees, and Green passed it back to Curry.

At the same time, Clay started from the bottom corner, cut into the penalty area, and then turned around and moved towards the top of the arc.

McColemo chased after Clay, but when he ran to the free throw line, Green and Antetokounmpo suddenly blocked him, and Clay came to the top of the key and got a huge vacancy.

Casspi rushed towards Clay in a hurry, but it was too late. Clay received the pass from Curry, caught the ball and made a three-pointer, making an easy hit, 97:74.

"Yes!! Klay broke the scoring record in a single quarter in NBA history, 35 points in a single quarter, he did it, he created a miracle!" Bob Fitzgerald shouted loudly.

"The king has completely collapsed, and the Warriors have won ahead of schedule!" Jim Barnett said.

All the fans raised their arms and shouted, the Chase Center was like a pot of boiling hot water, with high-pitched, sharp voices ringing non-stop.

At this time, with 31.3 seconds left in the third quarter, the Kings did not grab time. Rondo controlled the rhythm and assisted Rudy Gay to hit a two-pointer, leaving 7.2 seconds for the Warriors.

Curry sent the ball from the baseline and passed it directly to Clay. Clay dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt. The Warriors fans who had just sat down immediately stood up again and stared at Clay.

McColemo and Rondo surrounded them, and they must not let Clay score again.

Clay has entered the killing mode at this time, rushing into the three-point line, no matter how many people are defending in front of him, he will shoot when he pulls up.

Snapped!
McColemo's defense was fierce, and he slapped Clay's arm heavily. The basketball lost control and flew into the sky.

"Di-"

The referee whistled decisively, McColemo fouled the thug, and Clay stood on the free throw line.

"Clay! Clay!"

The fans chanted Clay's name-mvp is exclusive to Curry, and they could only shout Clay's name.

Curry waved his hands to mobilize the emotions of the fans. All the players on the Warriors' bench stood up. Cole stood on the sidelines, applauded, and asked curiously:
"Ronan, how do you know that Clay will be recorded in history today?"

Zhang Yu was standing next to Cole. Compared with the excited people on the bench, his expression was much calmer, and he didn't seem so excited.

Facing Cole's question, he smiled and said:
"Would you believe me if I said that when Klay only scored 16 points, I knew he would break the scoring record in a single quarter?"

"I don't believe it! At that time, there were only 5 minutes left in the third quarter, 5 minutes and 18 points. I dare not even dream of thinking like this!" Cole shook his head decisively.

"This is my answer. Believe it or not is up to you." Zhang Yu spread his hands and smiled.

On the court, amidst the cheers of the fans, Clay made two free throws and scored 37 points in a single quarter.

With Rondo's ultra-long three-pointer, the third quarter ended. The Warriors led the Kings by 99 points 74:25. They played a 44:21 super offensive climax of the Kings in a single quarter. Clay scored 37 points alone. points, far exceeding the Kings team's points in the third quarter.

When the players from both sides left the court, the entire Warriors team gathered around to celebrate his breaking the record. Bob Fitzgerald sat on the commentary seat, looked at Clay not far in front of him, and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice. said:
"Dear viewers, we just witnessed history. Klay Thompson made 13 of 13 shots in a single quarter, 9 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 37 points without throwing a goal. His name will be passed down forever , and tied with the greatest scorers in NBA history, he is the most explosive super shooter in a single quarter in NBA history!"
