"Hey, this little guy looks like Ji Feng back then. He sent out 9 assists in the half. Does he have a chance to challenge the rookie assist record set by Ji Feng back then?" Barkley was a little excited in the live broadcast room, and the reason for the excitement John Wall, of course.
This guy only scored 6 points at halftime, but he sent out 9 assists, almost reaching double figures. If Griffin hadn't just missed an unguarded mid-range shot, Wall should have brought it with him. 10 assists entering the second half.
But even so, Wall is good enough, because he has already reached the rookie half-time assist record set by Ji Feng in the rookie game a few seasons ago.
"In his first rookie game, Ji Feng scored a luxurious triple-double of 47 points, 18 assists and 10 rebounds. At that time, he set many records. In addition to being the first triple-double in the history of the rookie game, he also had 40+ points. In addition to a huge triple-double of 15+10, he also bagged the highest points and assists in a single game. I still remember the scene.”

He won the rookie game again on behalf of his sophomore year, and scored back-to-back triple-doubles with 48 points, 17 assists and 10 rebounds, and took advantage of the situation to break the record he created a year ago. The highest scoring record in a single game, and also took the second place in the assist list.”

I'm not pretending. Ji Feng breaks too many records every season. It's impossible for him to remember every item clearly, and he clearly understands that most records are only temporary, and only the championship is Eternal, so he doesn't mind if his record is broken by future generations. This represents the progress of basketball, doesn't it?

Counting Cousins' 33 points and 14 rebounds, it barely had the flavor of Ji Feng's back then. But finally, someone It can break the record set by Ji Feng. This is the first time among the 157 records set by Ji Feng in four years that a record has been broken," said an ESPN reporter.
