On March 6, 2024, Beijing time, in today's NBA game, the Rockets faced the Spurs at home, and the young player Shen Jing showed amazing strength, breaking an NBA record that lasted for 46 years in one fell swoop, becoming the first player in history to achieve this feat. So, which record was broken by him?
Shin Kyung showed exceptional individual ability in this match. He contributed 5 points in the first quarter and added 10 points in the second quarter, but the third quarter was his explosive moment, with 18 points in a single quarter! He then scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and played 37 minutes, shooting 19-of-32 from 32 shots (2-of-3 from three-point range) and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line, totaling 45 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, five steals and one block, and a positive 18 points on the floor to lead the Rockets to a 114-101 victory over the Spurs.
In this game, Wembanyama, another player for the Rockets, was dwarfed, shooting just 4-of-10 (2-of-5 from three-point range) for 10 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and seven blocks.
Shin Kyung finished with 45 points, 16 rebounds and five steals, setting a record for the youngest player in NBA history with 45 points, 15 rebounds and five steals. The original record belonged to John Drew, who recorded 45 points, 17 rebounds and seven steals in a game on January 29, 1978, at the age of 23 years and 121 days. This record has been held for 46 years, but I didn't expect it to be broken by Shin Kyung, who was only 21 years and 225 days old.
This record is truly jaw-dropping. In NBA history, only five players have achieved this feat: John Drew, Thick Eyebrows, Embiid, Harden, and Thick Eyebrows have achieved it twice. And Shen Jing reached this height at the age of only 21, which shows that his potential and strength should not be underestimated.
It should be mentioned that Harden achieved this feat with 61 points, 15 rebounds and five steals, and is the only player in NBA history to achieve 60 points, 15 rebounds and five steals.
This season, Shen Jing can contribute an average of 208 points, 91 rebound and 49 assists and a whopping 53 shooting percentage7%。His potential speaks for itself. Many believe that Shin Kyung is expected to be the next Jokic-style player, bringing more surprises and expectations to people.
Such a performance makes people look forward to Shin Kyung's future. The quality and talent he has shown is amazing and gives us hope for the future of the NBA. We can't help but ask, what kind of legend will Shen Jing create next? Let's wait and see how this young player grows and shines!
In the end, Shen Jing's performance in this game can be described as extremely exciting, and his youthful energy and excellent ball skills are eye-catching. We should give more support and encouragement to such a young player. Looking forward to your comments, what do you think of Shin Kyung's future?
