After the year-end battle between the Bobcats and the Knicks, Zhang Yang topped the headlines on major sports media websites!
This time, he scored 52 points in a single game. The level of shock among the fans was not as great as the time he scored 50+ against the Jazz Team, which was the first time in NBA history that a player under 20 had scored 50+ in a single game.
But in terms of the sensation and impact it caused, this time was even greater!
Because the place where Zhang Yang scored 50+ was in the Big Apple City, at the basketball holy land, Madison Square Garden!
It was broadcast nationwide, and the viewership of this game in the basketball holy land was more than double the viewership of the Bobcats' game against the Jazz Team at home!
This was the second time that Zhang Yang had scored 50+ in a single game this season. Before him, only one other player had reached 50+ twice this season—Gilbert Arenas, who had overtaken Iverson to top the scoring leaderboard.
