In the first three quarters, he scored 57 points. In the NBA regular season on the 7th, Beijing time, the Wizards core Bradley Beal's performance was amazing, but he failed to help the team win a game with only 3 points in the last quarter. victory.
Nevertheless, his 60-point performance in a single game is enough to admire the fans, which has tied the personal single-game scoring record in the history of Wizards.
Before Bill, there was only one Wizard player who could play such a performance-"Agent 0" Gilbert Arenas.
Reminiscent of Curry's sudden burst of 62 points in a single game a few days ago, many "young people" lament the recent scoring status of NBA guards.

But in fact, in the ranking of individual scores in a single game, performances like Curry’s 62 points and Bill’s 60 points can only be regarded as "sprinkling", because of such performance, even the top 10 in NBA history single-game scoring list. Can't get in.

So far, there are both "ancient beasts" and "sounding gods list" of active players. Can you guess who is there?
1. Wilt Chamberlain 100 points
On March 2, 1962, Chamberlain scored a terrifying 100 points in the Philadelphia Warriors' victory over the New York Knicks.
Chamberlain made 26 of 63 shots and made 28 of 32 free throws.
The magic of this data sheet is that Chamberlain’s free throw percentage has never been excellent, but at the moment of making history, Chamberlain seized almost every opportunity and the free throw became very accurate.
In addition to scoring, his 63 shots, 36 hits and 28 free throws also made history.
2. Kobe Bryant 81 points
For most fans, Bryant's 81-point night is obviously more familiar than Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game.
On January 23, 2006, Kobe scored 81 points in the Lakers game against the Raptors, which is also the second highest score in NBA history. This game is considered one of the greatest games of Kobe's career.
In the third quarter, he scored 27 points. In the fourth quarter, he scored 28 points. Bryant's total score in the second half was even 14 points more than the Raptors team.
Kobe said after the game: "I should have scored 90 points or more. I missed a lot of opportunities, including 2 free throws and some open scoring. I missed many easy shots. I think 100 points are also possible. It's possible, I can. If I didn't take a 6-minute break in the first half, then I can.

3. Wilt Chamberlain 78 points
For Chamberlain, he was even more impressive than 78 points, perhaps because the game that night was divided into three overtimes.
On December 9, 1961, Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor fought and gave a wonderful duel.
In that game, Chamberlain scored 78 points and 43 rebounds.
Baylor, the "flying ancestor", also did not do much, dedicating 63 points and 31 rebounds. In the end, the Lakers led by Baylor won a 151-147 win.
4. David Thompson/Wild Chamberlain x2 73 points
If you find that when the list extends to fourth place, you have read Chamberlain's name for the third time, don't be surprised, because you will see him many times in the future.
Even when we introduce the achievement of "73 points in a single game", we need to mention Chamberlain twice.
Chamberlain scored 73 points twice, once in the 1961-62 season and once in the 1962-63 season.
Therefore, the focus here is not Chamberlain, but "Skywalker" David Thompson.
David Thompson's 73 points occurred in the 1977-78 season finale. Before the final game, "Iceman" George Gervin averaged 26.8 points per game, while "Skywalker" David Sampson was 26.6 points.
In the competition for the scoring champion of the season, the "Skywalker" scored 32 points in the first quarter and set a single-quarter scoring record. The audience scored a staggering 73 points, so that Sampson's average scoring reached 27.15 points.
But Gervin scored 33 points in the second quarter of the last game, directly breaking Sampson’s 32-point record and scoring 63 points at the end of the game, averaging 27.22 points per game. Successfully defended the scoring champion.
Although Thompson lost in the season's scoring competition, his record of 73 points in a single game has always remained in the historical list.
5. Wilt Chamberlain 72 points
"That man", he, here again.
On November 3, 1962, as a Warriors player, Wilt Chamberlain scored 72 points and 18 rebounds against the Lakers.
In the game, Chamberlain played 48 minutes, made 29 of 48 shots, had 72 points, 18 rebounds and 1 assist, but the team lost to the Lakers 115:127.

This is Chamberlain's fifth-highest score in his career, and unfortunately, it is also the fifth-highest score in NBA history so far.
6. David Robinson/Elgin Baylor 71 points
The 71-point record is again related to a famous "scoring game."
Before the end of the 1993-1994 NBA regular season, "Admiral" Robinson averaged 29.27 points per game, ranking second in the league, while O'Neal ranked first with 29.31 points.
In the last game, the Spurs made the ball for Robinson and helped Robinson score points.
So in the final moments of the game, even if the Spurs had a big lead, Robinson still remained on the court. In the end, he scored 71 points and averaged 29.8 points per game.
In the final game, he had to score 68 points in order to keep the scoring leader position, O'Neal "only" scored 32 points, and finally lost to Robinson by 29.3 points per game.
The other one tied with Robinson is Elgin Baylor, who scored 63 points against Chamberlain (sorry, Marshal Zhang has appeared again). On November 16, 1960, local time, the Lakers and the Knicks played. , Elgin Baylor scored 71 points and shocked four.
Technical statistics of the game on the spot.
In that game, Baylor made 28 of 48 and 15 of 19 free throws, scoring a staggering 71 points and 25 rebounds to help the team beat the Knicks 123:108.
Baylor's 71 points also set a record for the league's highest scoring game at the time.
Perhaps the "ancestor of the flying man" at that time would not have thought that a year later he would witness his record being broken by Zhang-(I am here again)-Boren.
7. German Booker/Wild Chamberlain 70 points
When the scoring list extended to seventh place, there were finally active players.
Another shooting guard with the 13th overall pick from the first round has done a good job!
On March 25, 2017, the Suns lost 120:130 away to the Celtics.
Booker played 45 minutes, made 21 of 40 shots, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 26 free throws and 24 free throws. He scored 70 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, setting a career record for scoring and a personal record for the Suns. , Became the sixth player in NBA history to score 70+ points in a single game. The 20-year-old Booker also became the youngest player in NBA history to score 60 points in a single game.
In this campaign, Booker scored 70 points with only 40 shots, which is the least number of shots of all players who scored 70 points.
In addition, Booker became the third player in NBA history to score 70+ but lose the game.
The other two are Thompson and Chamberlain with 73 points.
In addition, in the "70+ and lose" list, Zhang Dashuai has done it three times.
He scored 78 points in the game on December 8, 1961, 72 points in the game on November 3, 1962, and 70 points in the game on March 10, 1963.
Chamberlain did not lead the team to victory in these three games.
Nevertheless, he relied on this 70 points in 1963 to make himself appear on the NBA historical scoring list again.
8. Michael Jordan 69 points
Finally, after meeting with "Zhang Liangwan" again and again, another "old hooligan" in NBA history appeared.
That's Michael-(I have me on all records)-Jordan.
In a battle against the Cavaliers in March 1990, Jordan scored 69 points on 23 of 37 shots.
After an overtime "flying man" played a full 50 minutes in that game, the Bulls also defeated the opponent 117:113.
In the first quarter of that game, the Cavaliers John Williams committed a fierce foul against Jordan. Jordan fell heavily and lay down for a full minute or two.
Jordan was angry, looked up at Bulls assistant Mark Pfeill, and then said to himself, "They will pay for it." Such an episode also made the 69-point battle even more legendary.
9. Pete Maravich/Wiert Chamberlain 68 points
Pete Maravich was nicknamed the "pistol" at the time. In that era when confrontation was advocating, he was elegant and precise.
On February 25, 1977, Maravich, who played for the Jazz, scored 68 points in the game against the Knicks. This refreshed his career record for the highest scoring game in a single game and became the only one to rank among the NBA's historical scoring list. The top ten white players.
Even more difficult is that there was no 3-point line in that era, let alone a 3-pointer, which made Maravich's 68 points even more amazing.
The more amazing thing is still to come. After he scored 68 points, the legendary NBA referee Bavita whistled a foul and sent him off, so Maravich was also the first 60+ member to be sent off.
In addition to Maravich, there is another "68-point show" in NBA history, which belongs to Wilt Chamberlain.
On December 17, 1967, Wilt Chamberlain, who was already a 76ers player, scored 68 points and made 30 shots against the Bulls, setting a single-game record in team history and finally helping the team with 143: 123 defeated the opponent.
10. Wilt Chamberlain × 4 67 points
The reason why we took the trouble to name Chamberlain in the previous rankings is actually the point is that we have to mention him 4 times here, not bad for that one.
Chamberlain had scored 67 points four times in 1961, 1962 (twice) and 1963. This made the "10th highest single-game scoring in NBA history" and wrote four "Wild Chamberlain" in a crowd.
Having said so much, the question is, how many times "Wild Chamberlain" appeared in this narration of nearly 3,000 words?
