In the last minute of the game, the leading player of the NBA Seltek team, Titum, had scored 48 points, and broke the net again at the last 38 seconds and three minutes.
He scored 51 points in the whole game, and scored more than 50 points for the fifth time in his career.
He led the team to beat the Hornets 130:118, surpassing the legendary star “Bird”, and became the player with at least 50 points in a single game for the most time in the history of the “Green Shirts”.
Titum is only 24 years old. This year is only the sixth NBA career.
He has set many team history records.
Yesterday, he rewrote the record of 50 points in four games held by Bird. He laughed and said: “It has been a while since the last single game exceeded 50 points, so I need this game.”
Tatum made 15 of 23 shots, including 7 of 12 3-pointers, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. His all-round performance won the fans’ “MVP” cheers.
Titum’s average 30.6 points and 8.2 rebounds this season are the best in his career. He led the “Green Shirts” to take the lead in the Eastern Conference with 33 wins and 12 losses. Seltec’s general coach Mazura laughed and said, “He makes me look like a better coach.” He added that when Titum was locked by his opponent, he could deal with it in various ways, not only shooting but also dribbling and cutting. Yesterday’s high score show was the product of personal skills and team cooperation.
