介绍:
LeBron James scores franchise record of 61 as Miami beat Charlotte
Onto basketball,
LeBron James scored a career best and a franchise record of 61 points as Miami pounded Charlotte 124-107.
James had 24 points at halftime, then added 25 in the third quarter.
The record-breaker came with 5 minutes and 46 seconds left, when James spun through three defenders for a layup that fell as he tumbled to the court.
James said he felt as if he was on a breeze.
"You know, it felt like I had a golf ball throwing into the ocean. Especially in the third quarter, at one point I pulled up behind the three-point line, probably like thirty feet, and when that one went in I knew I was in a really, really good groove. And I'm not much of a three-point shooter. I've worked on it, but hey, I was able to knock a few down."
James' previous career best had been 56 points, on March 20, 2005, for Cleveland against Toronto.
In other action, the Los Angeles Lakers have managed to snatch a second straight win! They narrowly edged past the Portland Trail Blazers with a dunk from Wesley Johnson with 6 seconds remaining.
Wesley had 14 points while Paul Gasol added 22 in the 107-106 road victory.
The win also snapped Portland's five game winning streak.
Elsewhere, New Orleans suffered its eighth defeat in a row, 96-89 against Sacramento.
Brooklyn extended its winning run to three, 96-80 over Chicago.
Memphis, Detroit, Minnesota, and the Milwaukee Bucks were the morning's other winners.
Li Na to skip the inaugural International Premier Tennis League
Australian Open champion Li Na has confirmed that she will skip the inaugural International Premier Tennis League tournament to be held later this year.
The tournament, which will take place in four Asian cities, Bangkok, Mumbai, Singapore and Dubai, is designed to raise the profile of tennis across Asia and the Middle East.
The tournament falls on November 27th and wraps up on December 14th.
Li Na said she chose to give the new tournament a miss because it falls at a time when most tour players opt to get some rest, and comes just weeks before she would be due to defend her Australian Open title in January.
Asia's top male player, Japan's Kei Nishikori, has also decided not to take part.
Russia's Maria Sharapova and Swiss great Roger Federer are also skipping the IPTL.
But Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Tomas Berdych and Andy Murray will be in the line-up.
