879: What Makes Link Different (3/5)
Steve Cole was still full of expectations for the night at first.
If the Warriors can really suppress the Grizzlies, then let alone the division finals, it is not impossible even for the O'Brien Cup!
But at this time, Cole seemed to be a university star who had just entered the NBA from NCAA.
Many celebrity players who performed outstandingly in college will find that they may be nothing after they arrive at the NBA.
Cole feels like this now. The confidence he has accumulated from the previous 16 consecutive victories has been torn apart by all this game.
In the face of the Grizzlies' strength, the Warriors' previous 16 consecutive wins became worthless.
Cole turned his head and looked at the team's bench.
It was discovered that Curry, Thompson and Green were both lonely.
The three young men made an incredible start, and they instantly raised the Golden State Warriors to a higher level.
They were climbing at an unpredictable rate, but Link's "mountain" suddenly blocked their progress.
And it is probably not that easy to turn over from Link.
At this moment, the electronic beeping sounded at the end of the game.
There were huge sounds coming from the stands behind Cole.
The new Warriors coach couldn't help but look up at the big screen on the scene. 123 to 99, the Golden State Warriors lost in shame by 24 points away!
Of course, the best 16-game winning streak in the team history stopped here.
In Memphis, there is never a lack of magic. But only the grizzly bears can create magic here.
This sentence was once used badly by the media, and this time Cole deeply understood it.
"After the game, the Golden State Warriors have been beaten 20-0 by the Grizzlies in the second quarter, and they have no rhythm at all! Their 16 consecutive wins were finished, and the Grizzlies have won five consecutive victories after Link's return! The Grizzlies are only half a win away from regaining the first place in the West!"
Hubby Brown stood up and applauded the moment the game ended.
During the Grizzlies' toughest time, once again, Link pulled the team back from the edge of the cliff.
Link stood up from the bench and waved to the fans in the stands.
The fourth player in NBA history who can score triple-double data in seven consecutive games has added another very important title.
Soon, Stephen A. Smith walked to Link.
The reporter with an exaggerated expression looked even more excited than Link. He walked from the sidelines to the field, and his mouth was always in an "o" shape during this period.
"You must be kidding! Once again, you scored a triple-double in three quarters. This is already the seven consecutive games you have won a triple-double data! Can you tell me what this is!?" Smith reached the microphone next to Link's mouth.
Of course, he still forgot to close his mouth.
"I'm more happy with the win than seven consecutive triple-doubles. After this game, we only had half a win left to regain the first place in the West. To be honest, I'm used to the position above and really don't like to fall down. So, we'll go back as soon as possible."
Link still looked relaxed, not like someone who had just touched the winning streak.
"Is that true? So are you really not excited about the achievement of seven consecutive triple-doubles?"
"What to say, yes, I'm not very excited. Because soon, the title will no longer belong to me." Link nodded, which made Stephen A. Smith confused.
"What do you mean? You mean, soon someone can do the same thing?"
"No, I mean, I'll be able to break the record of seven consecutive triple-doubles soon. So, there's nothing to be excited about."
After Link finished speaking, he left a relaxed smile and turned around and left.
Many fans in front of the TV spewed out a mouthful of old blood. Watching Link for an interview made them feel like watching Bird in the 1980s.
As long as you can show off, you will never speak well!
After Link had gone away, Stephen A. Smith remembered that he had not asked Link about anything related to Green.
Green and Link had such a big sensation before the game, and Green was abused so badly in this game today. This was originally a topic worthy of hype.
But again, Green was ignored by Link.
Even Smith himself ignored Green. It seemed that Green was not worth mentioning at all in front of Link's records and performances.
Perhaps as Link said, he and Green are not on the same level at all.
At the post-match press conference, the Warriors completely lost the energy they had before the game started.
Steve Cole looked worried, "They almost defeated us at the beginning of the second quarter, and that's what made the game different."
Today, the three-point shooting percentage was only 12%, the total shooting percentage was only 36%. Curry, who scored only 19 points in the game, could no longer show a sunny smile. "I have never played such a game. The Grizzlies' defensive strength is unmatched. I hope we can get better in the future."
Draymond Green, who made only 2 of 11 shots, lost all three-pointers and four shots, and scored only 6 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, is undoubtedly the most embarrassing existence of the Warriors.
"Draymond, how do you think Link is far ahead of your stats today?"
Green: "..."
"Can you tell me in detail what happened when you were shaken down? How did you lose your center of gravity?"
Green: "..."
"Link scored a triple-double in three quarters. You said you could limit Link before the game, so how do you think you are limiting?"
Green continued speechless, he had been asked about being autistic.
Green initially argued with Link, but in fact he was frustrated because Curry lost the best of the moon.
But now, Link has proven that his best-deserved reputation for the month. Because today is not just because he is not as good as Link, Curry's performance is also far from Link.
If Curry played better than Link today, Green could still make a few words about this.
But unfortunately, Curry also failed.
Green lost all his position to fight back Link. This "big mouth" that has always been fearless, is particularly silent today.
Finally, Green stood up without saying a word and left the media reception room.
I believe that this unique trip to Memphis will shut up Green for a long time.
※※※
**Vicci finished watching the game between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. After the game, he was silent for a long time when he was facing the TV screen where the advertisement was being played.
In three quarters, 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists...Link's terrible attack power shocked **Vic.
He has never seen a player who has won a triple-double in three quarters. He has even seen such bizarre things as 35.13 seconds. Is there anything more incredible than that?
But whether it is 35 seconds, 13 minutes or three-quarter triple doubles, most of these incredible moments are short-lived.
It is impossible for McGrady to score 35.13 points in two consecutive games. Not to mention two consecutive games, even if you ask McGrady to play that game again, he will not be able to do it.
If it is so easy to do 35 seconds and 13 minutes, it will not be called a miracle.
Similarly, three-quarter triple-double is the same. Most players may be able to achieve three-quarter triple-double in one game occasionally, but they will never do this often.
The biggest difference between Link and others is that he can continue magical performances for several games. For him, creating magic is as simple as eating and sleeping.
Sometimes it was the first half-time triple-double in NBA history, and sometimes it was a triple-double in three quarters.
Link seemed to have never had any ups and downs in his state, and he could burst out with the greatest power anytime and anywhere.
Thinking of this, **Vicci shook his head.
Anyway, he must end Link's magic tomorrow.
Link said he will soon break the record of winning triple-double in seven consecutive games?
Go dreaming!
That's right, tomorrow, December 17, the Grizzlies will play a back-to-back game with the Spurs in San Antonio.
At present, the Grizzlies and the Spurs have fought twice, and both sides have won one victory.
But the game the Spurs won was precisely because of Link's absence.
This time, Link is very healthy and in good condition.
**Vicci's only hope of winning is placed on his back to back.
Chapter completed!
