437: I really got 40 points
In the third quarter, when Link, after scoring 7 points in a row, said to George Carl, "You have to find someone to defend me, anyone can do it! Otherwise, I will get 40 points tonight." George Carl never thought that this was not just a provocation.
Because the game reached the fourth quarter, Link was only 6 points away from his 40th point.
More than ten seconds ago, Link scored a tip-in on the "company commander" Corey Brewer. That goal allowed Link to score the 34th point of the game. At the same time, it also left the Denver Nuggets behind the Grizzlies with 7 points!
George Carl found it unbelievable that they went back with a huge advantage of 15 points during the halftime break. But after six minutes in the fourth quarter, they were actually 7 points behind!
Thinking back on what happened during this period, George Carl felt his blood pressure soaring, as if he would faint at any time.
He fainted from anger, and he was talking about George Carl's situation.
In the third quarter, Link scored 7 points in a row to help the Grizzlies narrow the gap to 8 points, George Carl began to try to double-team Link.
As Stevens planned, Link used his superb passing skills and broad passing vision to connect the entire Grizzlies' offense.
So after the first three quarters, after the single-match between Link and Wilson Chandler, the Grizzlies instead played the coveted egalitarian offense.
Therefore, if you want the team to play a team attack, sometimes you need to give a certain player a certain right to fire.
After that, the Grizzlies' offense was unstoppable, but the Nuggets' offense was cut to pieces by the Grizzlies' resolute 1-on-1 defense.
The Nuggets have no disadvantages of stars and are once again exposed to the Grizzlies. Without singles, the Nuggets have no advantage in 1-on-1 offense and defense.
So to the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies not only reversed the 15-point gap, but also contrasted the Nuggets with 4 points!
Hubby Brown smiled proudly at the time, and he said that just equalizing the score will never be the Grizzlies' target!
These guys can always do better than you expect.
So in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies took advantage of the victory and chased. After a few minutes, they resisted the Nuggets' counterattack and widened the gap to 7 points.
During this period, Link almost became the scoring machine for the Grizzlies, and most of the Grizzlies' scores came from either his direct goals or his assists.
After that tip-in just now, Link not only scored 34, but also scored 10 assists and 6 rebounds. Before the game ended, he had already scored a double-double!
After Link's tip-off, the Nuggets were already a little dejected. Link was too strong today and was completely unstoppable!
George Carl also felt humiliated by the challenge of authority. Few people in the league dared to challenge him directly with words. The most important thing is that after provoking with words, Link immediately took action. This is the most terrifying thing!
"The Nuggets are 7 points behind again. If the Grizzlies finally stick to the end of this game, it will be a great reversal victory!"
"Yes, Link's performance in the second half was perfect! Score, assists, rebounds and defense, you can see him in every corner of the court! He proved with practical actions that his strength is completely worthy of the ranking of the All-Stars in the first round of voting!"
Thunder fans and New York fans should be disappointed, because even they must admit that Link's performance in the second half was impeccable.
Even if Durant and Anthony come, they may not be able to do this.
When the Nuggets attacked again, they no longer had the momentum of the first half. In the first half, the Nuggets were always proud and could complete the attack by passing through the half like lightning.
But now, everyone in the Nuggets is not confident enough. Their transmission is still very fast and frequent, but there is no substantial effect. It is more like treating basketball as a hot potato and no one is willing to take over.
Finally, "company commander" Corey Brewer had to forcefully attack Link before the 24-second attack time ended.
As soon as the ball was shot, George Carl covered his head.
It was too good to be in, and it was impossible to enter!
Brewer made a three-pointer with a blacksmith. He was not a steady three-pointer shooter, and his three-point shooting percentage this season was only 29.6%. Randolph accepted his 10th rebound in this game and became the Grizzlies' ball rights again!
George Carl looked at Link, his mind full of what he said to himself during the third quarter.
The game is far from entering garbage time now, and the main Grizzlies will continue to be present, and Link still has many opportunities.
Can he really get 40 points? I hope not. Link only had 40 points in his career twice, and George Carl believed that he would not be so unlucky.
However, the old man had just finished comforting himself, and Link scored the goal
After Link took advantage of Gasol's cover to break through and entered the penalty area, McGee was in trouble with the issue of "Link who should break through to the defense is still Gasol who shot in the mid-range shot."
Finally, Link made a pass to Gasol. McGee hurriedly stepped out of the penalty area and reached out to steal. He wanted to see who said that his basketball IQ was low!
However, Link was just a fake pass. After tricking McGee out of the penalty area, Link easily made a layup and McGee waved awkwardly, blushing. Today's five major embarrassment, McGee may occupy two seats.
"36 points! Link's score is still rising! The Nuggets have no choice but to do anything to him. Coach George Carl tried Brewer and Chandler today, but the results were not very ideal. They were really helpless when they took Link."
George Carl fell back on the bench. The Nuggets on the bench thought George Carl was going to curse, so he hurriedly lowered his head. But after a long time, George Carl did not make any sound.
The Nuggets looked up and realized that the old man was not angry, but stared at the stadium with dull eyes.
Thousand Win coach George Carl completely lost to the undraft today. He admitted that the Nuggets had no one to defend Link.
A few minutes later, the game ended. The Federal Express Arena shook and the fans shouted more crazier than usual. After all, the winning of this game was really heartbreaking.
106 to 97, the Grizzlies finally won the game with a 9-point advantage. This big reversal victory is much more exciting than directly crushing the Nuggets.
At the end of the game, Memphis Mayor A Walton cheered like an ordinary fan. How could he not be excited? At the end of the first half, he thought he was going to leave the Federal Express Arena in a very awkward situation.
But in the end, Link relied on his own efforts to save the carnival day belonging to Memphis and also the face of the city.
"Excellent game, textbook-like reversal! 40 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, Link stole the Nuggets' victory with impeccable performance! This morning, Link just became the third player in the first round of All-Star voting, and his ranking was even higher than Durant, Anthony, Garnett and other stars. I believe he must be questioned! But now, Link told the world that he can afford this ranking! Everyone, continue to vote for him enthusiastically!"
After Hubby Brown finished speaking, Link hugged and celebrated with his teammates on the court. George Carl was surrounded by reporters. There is no doubt that in today's era of advanced technology, reporters all know what Link squirted at Old Carl on the court.
So, they deliberately asked Old Carl what he thought about the loss of this game.
George Carl was in a bad mood, so he swears, "If anyone can limit the score of the guy who is raised by the bitch to below 30, he will be successful in defense."
And when this sentence reached Link's ear, Link only replied, "Thank you for the praise, I will continue to work hard."
If you limit yourself to below 30 points, you will be considered a win. Link can only regard George Carl's words as a compliment.
Afterwards, all the fans stood up together and shouted MVP. All the Grizzlies players stopped and were obviously shocked. After all, in the past, no Grizzlies player could have enjoyed such treatment.
Only when all the fans of the audience stood up and shouted MVP for you can experience what it feels like to fall in love with a city.
Link stood in the middle circle, enjoying this moment of honor that belonged to him.
Stevens smiled slightly, and Link, who was standing in the middle circle and enjoying the greetings of the fans, had become the facade of Memphis.
Chapter completed!
