846: How does it compare to Michael?

63 points in a single game, although this is not the highest scoring record in NBA history, but it has also become the focus of discussion among fans.

After all, Link's background of 63 points was quite special.

First of all, both Houston media and Dwight Howard had provoked Link before the game, and they all said that they would make the injured Grizzlies pay the price and fall from the altar.

Moreover, the Rockets are indeed one of the strongest teams in the league at this stage. Their previous record of 6 wins and 0 losses is the same as the Grizzlies.

Link's 63 points were neither scored on the bottom team nor obtained in irrelevant games.

He scored 60+ points in a single game in a strong opponent and a key game. So this 63 points have a very high value.

And of Link's 63 points, only 12 points came from free throws, and the others were all scored in sports games. In comparison, although Harden scored only 35 points, the free throw accounted for 18 points.

Link told everyone with practical actions that if you want to score high scores, you don’t have to rely on free throws.

Link's extremely efficient, extremely arrogant gun-drawing celebration, and his arrogant speech after the game once again made him the focus of basketball fans around the world.

Almost all sports news is talking about Link's 63 points. Sports TV will occasionally take out Link's 63 points highlights. Because as long as Link's 63 points highlights are posted, the ratings will be significantly improved.

The Grizzlies even took the opportunity to launch a Link 63-point commemorative T-shirt, but they were pre-ordered as soon as they were announced.

Even the next night, the heat wave brought by Link had not dissipated.

The next day, before the Heat vs. Mavericks started, when the reporters interviewed Wade on the sidelines, they completely put aside the game itself and asked a question related to Link.

"Dwyne, how do you evaluate Link's 63 points last night? By the way, I must remind you that 63 points in a single game is the highest score record in NBA in a single game since Kobe scored 82 points against the Raptors in January 2006! That is to say, in the past eight years, no NBA player's single game score is higher than Link's yesterday."

When the reporters asked Wade this question, he was somewhat of a mentality of trying to make trouble.

With Wade's unyielding personality and the experience of the two competing for the championship in the past few years, reporters believe that Wade will definitely express disdain for Link's 63 points.

But what surprised the reporters was that not only did Wade not express disdain for Link, but instead used all the praises on Link.

"That was undoubtedly a great game. Link almost carried the team alone. 63 points were amazing. If he wanted to, he could even get higher points." Wade puffed up his cheeks and smiled slightly.

"Ah?" The reporters were stunned. The style of painting was wrong!

They originally wanted to use this matter to hype up the hostile relationship between Wade and Link, but Wade was completely uncooperative.

Although Wade and Link have indeed been competing for the championship in the past two years, the reporter still underestimated Link's personal relationship in the league.

Wade was really happy for Link.

In addition to Wade, many stars also expressed their opinions on Link's 63 points.

Wade's opponent today, Nowitzki, the "German Chariot" who led the Mavericks to the championship in 2011, also kept praising Link.

"In 2011, Link caused us a lot of trouble. At that time, I believed that he would become the best player in the league."

"The best player? You mean?"

"I mean, until he retired, he was the best player in the league." When the German said this, he seemed to be praising his teammates.

George, who has been reimbursed for half a season but has been able to perform simple training, said even more exaggeratedly, "I'm not surprised at all. Link has always been the kind of player who can score as many points as he wants. The reason why he only scored 63 points this year is because the Grizzlies with neat lineups did not need him to take so many shots. The reason why he only scored 63 points yesterday is because 63 points is enough for the Grizzlies to win."

That night, on a show on T.n.t, Scott Pippen was also asked about Link's questions.

"Scott, I think the whole world is thinking about a question now. Who is stronger than Link or Michael?" In the show, O'Neal threw the question directly to Pippen.

In today's era, few players are compared with Jordan. At most, people say that someone is the next James and Kobe, but they rarely say that someone is the next Jordan like in the late 1990s and early millenniums.

Because too many facts have proved that Jordan is impossible to be surpassed and approached. From the earliest Grant Hill, Anthony Hardaway, to the later Kobe, Carter, and James. No one can truly reach Jordan's height.

Over time, people no longer compare players with Jordan.

But now, the question of which one is better, is that because of Link.

Pippen is not afraid of this question because he has answered countless times, "In terms of honor, Link is nothing in front of Michael at the moment."

Pippen couldn't hide his pride when he answered, but he didn't want to belittle Link. Soon, he spoke again and continued to add, "But I really think Link is very scary than his ability to dominate the game. His versatility in scoring and strong defense often let me see Michael's shadow."

"Maybe Link is not comparable to Michael yet, but who knows if his career is as long as Michael?"

Pippen did not directly answer which one is stronger than Link or Jordan, but his meaning is very clear, "As long as there is enough time, Link may really reach Jordan's height."

Pippen's words are quite important. After all, he was the most capable assistant next to Jordan, and no one knows Jordan better than him.

If Wade, Nowitzki and George’s praise for Link before can be interpreted by fans as “a good personal relationship, so it’s flattering.” Then Pippen, who has almost no personal relationship with Link, does not have a private flattery.

For two whole nights, people were discussing Link, discussing his 63 points.

Some people think that Link's 60+ score is nothing great, so it is too early to compare it with Jordan.

But some people think that Link's 63 points are already quite outstanding. Because 63 points do not represent Link's upper limit, but only represents his lower limit! He can get 63 points, but not only get 63 points!

Once again, Link became the focus of controversy.

As the protagonist of this incident, Link did not care about the public opinion online at this time.

Instead of watching TV news, he held a small party at home and invited all his teammates to come to his house to have fun.

Just after playing consecutive away games and back-to-back, the Grizzlies players were very tired. So Link organized a party as soon as he returned to Memphis, hoping that everyone could relax before the next game came.

"Link, the discussion about you on the Internet has become very popular." Carter shook his cell phone with a cigar in his mouth. He had been paying attention to news about Link all day long.

"Don't, I don't want to watch basketball-related news at all now, so let me go." Link waved his hand. He was really exhausted.

The back-to-back battle was fought, and the second game was only 3 minutes off. Only Link knew how hard it was to get the 63 points.

Now when we mention last night's game, Link feels heartbroken. Link is not a god, he will also go crazy when discussing basketball 24 hours a day.

Carter smiled, put away his cell phone, and stopped discussing the game with Link.

The Grizzlies players spent one of the few relaxing times leisurely in Link's lake villa.

The Grizzlies players finally recovered from the torture of consecutive away games and back-to-back games.

But Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace is still unable to get out of work.

Randolph's return date is not yet determined, and Azeli is a little overwhelmed. The Grizzlies' inside reserves are now very nervous. Although the Grizzlies beat the Rockets in the last game, the Grizzlies' lack of inside reserves has been completely exposed.

Now, he must continue to Taobao in the free agent market.
