099: Better than Hill? (11/40)

Adelman stood on the sidelines in despair. He looked at the Grizzlies No. 0 who was controlling the ball, and felt a little lack of confidence.

Yes, his team entered the fourth quarter with a 6-point advantage, and his scorer created a miracle of 30 points in 3 quarters. However, now, his team is in danger.

All of this is because of that number 0.

At this time, the person who defended Link on the court had become Contney Lee Kevin Martin. He sat on the bench with a lonely face. He scored 30 points in the first three quarters, but Link made 0 of 4 shots in the fourth quarter. Moreover, Martin did not get even a chance to go to the free throw line.

As the game was about to end, Martin's score was still the same as at the end of the third quarter. Since Martin could not score, Adelman decided to replace Contney, who was better at defending, and Lee went up to try it.

It is obvious that Contney Lee's defense is several times stronger than Martin. He is a typical 3D player, with three-pointers and defense.

But now Adelman sent Contney Lee up, it was already a bit too late. Link was overwhelmed with confidence at this time, and he called for cover to break through Contney Lee, and turned around and jumped out after mid-range.

Contney Lee's reaction was half a beat slower, but this was enough to give Link a shot.

Link, who felt hot, did not waste any chance. The basketball drew a rainbow arc and fell into the net, making a mid-range shot!

The entire Federal Express Arena was in full swing because the fans here had just witnessed a great show.

"The ball is in, Link scores again! The 14th point is already the 14th point that Link scored in the fourth quarter! 14 points in a single quarter, Link completely dominated the final battle in the fourth quarter! There are 38 seconds left in the game, and the Houston Rockets are 7 points behind. They have no chance, Link kills the game!"

Jeff Van Gundy applauded in the commentary seat. At first, he thought the Rockets would win, but he thought it would be a glorious night for Kevin Martin.

But Barkley said it well and didn't draw conclusions so quickly.

"Yes, 14 points in a single quarter. Not only 14 points in a single quarter, Link also restricted Martin's pellets in the fourth quarter. Therefore, the highest scorer in the whole game is no longer Martin, but Link. He has scored 32 points, which is the highest in the game. Of course, this is also a new high in Link's career score in the NBA. Let us congratulate Link for playing a classic battle."

Barkley wiped the sweat from his forehead. In the fourth quarter, the game became extraordinary, and he was so passionate.

Sometimes, you can tell by identifying a player's quality and looking at his performance at a critical moment. Martin didn't score a point at a critical moment today, while Link used 14 points in a single quarter to help the Grizzlies complete the reversal. Which one is better or worse is the right one.

Adelman had only one timeout left in his hand, so from a theoretical point of view, the Rockets had already lost. He shook his head helplessly, the white-haired coach looked very tired. Adelman could not remember how many times the Rockets collapsed in the final quarter, and the collapse in the fourth quarter seemed to have become a "curse" that entangled the Rockets.

30 points in the third quarter, entering the fourth quarter with a 6-point advantage, but ended up like this

"Wait and cry, Morey." Adelman complained to himself. The defeat in this game shouldn't have happened. It was Morey who gave up his most powerful weapon.

Morey, who was sitting in front of the TV to watch the game, was really stunned. He believed that tomorrow at the Toyota Center, he would definitely be surrounded by a lot of embarrassing problems.

When fighting the Vipers, that guy scored 52 points. When fighting the Rockets, Link scored another 32 points! Morey curled his lips. It seemed that he had let go of a guy with a strong desire to take revenge.

In the last 38 seconds of the game, the Rockets, with low morale, did not cause any storm. Instead, Randolph's 2+1 score at the basket completely ruined the Rockets' hope.

In the end, the score was frozen at 110-100. The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the invading Houston Rockets by 10 points at home.

On the Rockets, Kevin Martin scored 30 points, and "Diamond" Scola also scored 19 points. It seems that they shouldn't lose.

At the end of the third quarter, most people thought so. But Link told everyone with his unremitting efforts, "The result of the basketball game will never be known until the last moment."

"It was a great victory, and it was a personal heroism victory. Link's performance in the last quarter was perfect. He limited the Houston Rockets to turn over on both ends of offense and defense. There is no doubt that Link was named the best player of the game. He deserves such praise."

"This game is not only of Link, but also of the Grizzlies. They defeated their two direct competitors at the Rockets and Hornets at the last two games, which made them increasingly stable in the battle for a playoff spot. I believe the Grizzlies will have a chance this year. The playoffs require such a team and such players. If Link and the Grizzlies miss the playoffs, it will be a loss for the league!"

After the game, Barkley and Jeff Van Gundy instantly became crowded with the Grizzlies. There was no way, the Grizzlies' performance today was really exciting. Except for the hardcore Rockets fans, no one doesn't like them.

Link stood in the middle of the court, enjoying the shouts of worship from all the fans. He successfully protected the Federal Express Arena. This sense of accomplishment made Link unable to control his emotions.

In NBA, he seemed to have found greater happiness than making money!

32 points, which actually does not exceed Link's ability. Because Hill during this period occasionally has 30+ points performances. Moreover, Link summarized that his average score is higher than Hill's, which is actually very normal.

First, his playing time is longer than Hill in his twilight years. Second, his ability is the combination of Hill in the two periods, and his shortcomings are not so obvious. The third and most important point is that his physical fitness is much more abundant than Hill, so his offensive stability is better and his sustainability is stronger.

From this point of view, he not only gained Hill's ability, but even surpassed Hill! Link really wants to try it out, what does it feel like after having the physical fitness of Peak Hill? At that time, would he also surpass Peak Hill?

After Link and the fans finished their celebration, Link found that the reporters had already piled up. Moreover, there were no Rockets players at the scene.

Here, it has truly become a stage that only belongs to the winners.

"Link, can you tell us what was supporting you in the last section to perform so well?" Link found that the person who asked him this question was actually yellow-skinned. Moreover, the microphone he handed over had four letters "cctv".

It seems that China is also preparing for this game. Chinese players and the Rockets are simply catching the g-points of Chinese fans everywhere.

"My teammates, my fans and my beliefs, without these, there would be no victory today."

Link's answer stunned the Chinese reporter in front of him for a moment. Because he didn't expect that Link's Mandarin was so good, with almost no unnatural aspects.

You can't say that you are Chinese Americans, but even many Hong Kong compatriots have less standard Mandarin. The CCTV reporter interviewed Jeremy Lin, who is also a Chinese American, but that guy can't even speak some complete sentences.

"Link, did your parents teach you how to speak Chinese?" The reporter then added a distraction. Of course, Chinese fans are very interested in this question.

"Of course, it's not bad to be able to master the language of both countries." Link shrugged. With this, he will definitely be more popular with Chinese fans than Jeremy Lin in the future.

After that, Link also accepted interviews from many reporters. As the most highly-announced player of the Grizzlies today, he was naturally the last to return to the locker room.

Before entering the locker room, Link deliberately looked in and looked at whether anyone had "attacked" him.

Seeing that everything was normal in the locker room, Link stepped in.

However, he had just walked into the locker room and Mr. Tony and Randolph suddenly jumped out from behind the door, took two glasses of Gatorade and poured them on Link's head. Suddenly, laughter came from the entire locker room. Together, everyone was helping them act!

Link stood helplessly, but he finally couldn't defend himself. Speaking of which, Tony Allen and Randolph, two extremely fierce people on the court, were privately like children. Link no longer remembers how many times he was attacked by them.

"Surprise! Hahaha, I hope you will like it, Zach and I prepared it for you!"

Since that was the case, Link was not polite. He picked up the water cup on the table, pretended to go to collect the water, and then suddenly fought back!

The entire locker room was in chaos, like a high school student's classroom.
