40+ games in the playoffs: Westbrook 7 times, Harden 11 times, James has 2 more times than Curry + Small Card + KD

NBA single game with 40 points, easy? In the past two seasons, the stars have scored more than 40+, 50+ and even 60+ points in a single game than before! After all, the current league encourages players to attack, and in terms of rules and rhythm, it also advocates that the game develops towards a high-scoring trend.

For players, the difference between the regular season and the playoffs is still obvious, and Lillard has only scored 40+ points in the playoffs four times so far, which shows that it is not actually easy. So how did other players achieve this?

Leonard 5 times 215 points

Xiao Ka has scored at least 40 points in a single game in his career so far in the playoffs, averaging 43.0 points per game and a shooting percentage of 56.5%. High efficiency, good offense and defense, are both labeled by Leonard.

From the Spurs to the Raptors to the Clippers, Leonard's role has also been changing. During the Spurs, they were defensive and leaned towards 3D. Before leaving the Holy City, they had become the absolute core of the outside line, but Zaza's footsteps changed Leonard's professional trajectory and could also be said to have brought a championship to the Raptors.

During the Clippers' period, Leonard was troubled by injuries, but once he played, he was still the best player in the team, especially in terms of efficiency and impact on the game, but the Clippers couldn't stand it and played less! Now, there is a contract problem again, and the new season has not yet started.

Westbrook 7 times 312 points

From the triple-double king to the substitute to the offseason, Westbrook's career has had highlights and surprises! In terms of 40+ performance in the playoffs, he has won 7 times so far, but it is basically difficult to do it again in the future. After all, his subsequent team status is not as good as the Thunder period.

in terms of play style, Westbrook is good at counterattacking. Among these 7 40+ points, the shooting percentage is 46.0% like his career shooting efficiency. It is not too high, but full of fighting spirit is what impressed us most about Westbrook. He still loves basketball and is eager to win the championship.

Westbrook's teammate Murray last season has scored 40+ points in the playoffs six times, with a shooting percentage of 62.6%!

Jokic, currently, he has 7 times with Westbrook and has a shooting percentage of 61.6%. Among other players, Mitchell has 7 times!

Doncic 8 times 344 points

Luca started to fully score, or data. In terms of playing with a ball and a core, it is the best in history, and this refers to the data category!

Judging from its first six seasons, although basketball play has made its data more gorgeous due to the influence of the times, it can still fully surround James, who is also the core playing style of the ball. This is the excellence of Doncic.

Playoff stage, Doncic has scored 40+ points at 8 times, of which the shooting percentage is 52.9%. It can be said that he is one of the most defensive players in the current service and has lost weight this offseason. He is believed by the media in the new season to win the MVP!

Harden 11 times 469 points

The Beard never missed the playoffs in his career. He also had 11 games in 40+ games in a single game, ranking third among active players! Among these 11 games of the playoffs, his shooting percentage reached 55.5%, which shows that his score was very impressive at his peak.

Harden has now transformed, and his playing style during the Rockets era has not helped him win the championship of his dreams. I remember Kobe pointed out that Harden's biggest problem is that holding the ball frame is his main scoring method, and his lack of ability in off-ball, back and wing cutting also makes Harden easily restricted at critical moments.

James is more than Ka Little Card + Curry + Durant

As the active player with the most games in the playoffs, James has now scored 40+ points in a single game, of which the shooting percentage has reached 56.9%!

Durant ranked second in active service, currently has at least 40 points in the playoffs, with 14 games, while Leonard mentioned earlier, 5 games, and Curry has 8 games.

For this reason, James is equivalent to 2 more times more than the sum of these three active superstars in this regard! Of course, this has a lot to do with the team's configuration, tactical needs and the most direct number of playoff participation games.

The top ten players with 40+ games in the active playoffs are shown in the figure below:
