One Thousand and Ninety-Two: Just Take It by the Way.
The moment Link "destroyed" Kanter's ankle, the fear that grew in the hearts of the Thunder players also erupted.
Although the term "ankle finisher" has been around for many years, there are very few examples of players who can actually destroy an opponent's ankle by shaking on the court.
After all, we are all top athletes at the NBA level, and it is not easy to knock each other down. Moreover, NBA players generally have terrible ankle strength.
Although ankle sprains still happen from time to time, their ankles are already many times stronger than ordinary people.
However, just now, Link performed the role of "Ankle Terminator" vividly.
He not only tricked Kanter with a crotch pass, but also directly caused the opponent to sprain his ankle due to his unstable center of gravity.
This kind of arbitrary ending, not to mention the fans, even the players were shocked!
"It's incredible. Link almost made the Oklahoma City Thunder lose their confidence in the first quarter of the game. If Russell can't cheer up and lead the team to regroup, this game is likely to become a one-sided massacre. Got it!"
Hubie Brown covered his head. The old man has spent most of his life in the NBA in various capacities. But even he thought it was too exaggerated to directly show the other person being injured.
Although this is not the first case of Link, it has to be said that there are too few such cases! And Link's crotch penetration is really exciting.
Seeing Kanter walk directly into the player tunnel with the support of the team doctor after coming off the field, Link did not sympathize with the Turk.
how to say? Ankle sprains are not a devastating injury, but they are one of the most common injuries among basketball players.
Therefore, this injury will not affect Kanter's career. Maybe he will be able to return to the court alive and kicking in a few days and continue to complain.
Therefore, Link had nothing to feel guilty about.
By the way, he also told Kanter what would happen if he argued with him.
A dunk and an ankle finish, Link believed this would teach Kanter a lesson.
On the Thunder side, everyone was frightened.
Whether it’s Westbrook or Kanter,
Today, I was kept in check by Link.
For a time, they had no hope of winning.
Although the first quarter of the game is not over yet, when they think about the next three quarters, the Thunder players are not thinking about the chance to equalize the score, but they are thinking about having to go through three quarters of such a hellish and torturous game.
Their hearts ended with Kanter's ankle.
In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Thunder did not organize any effective counterattack. In the end, they entered the second quarter with a 12-point disadvantage.
In the second quarter of the game, when Westbrook and Link took a break, Victor Oladipo was in good form.
The 2013 No. 2 player seems to be dreaming back to his days in Orlando. Whether it's a breakthrough or a long shot, he can score the ball.
Although he has not performed well this season, you can still see the potential of that guy to become a star in him.
When Westbrook is away, Oladipo is the Thunder's first offensive point. And attacking with the ball is exactly what Oladipo likes the most.
With Oladipo's excellent performance, the Thunder once narrowed the point difference to 6 points.
After that, Joger replaced Link again, and the Thunder also brought back the "Turtle".
Thunder coach Billy Donovan undoubtedly hopes that Westbrook can equalize the score in one go.
But unfortunately, after Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double per game, came on the scene, the Thunder fell into trouble again.
"Another mistake. Link once again intercepted Westbrook's pass on the passing route. This was his fourth steal of the game!"
Seeing Link kill Westbrook as soon as he came up, Hubie Brown was worried for Westbrook.
So far in today's game, Westbrook's assist data is still 0. His pass was either passed out or intercepted. In short, there is no pass that can pose a direct threat.
Westbrook has been convinced by Link that he doubts his life.
It seems that it is indeed very difficult for Westbrook to get a triple-double today.
As a result, his simple and crude breakthrough and distribution lost its effect. Secondly, Westbrook couldn't get defensive rebounds today.
Adams and Sabonis didn't dare to just block people without grabbing rebounds today, because as long as you hesitate for a moment, Link will take the rebound away in advance.
Link initially said on social media that someone would never get a triple-double again, and was criticized and ridiculed by many Thunder fans.
But now, looking at Westbrook looking so embarrassed, no one can laugh anymore.
This is not just about not letting Westbrook get a triple-double, this is simply trying to kill Westbrook!
Thanks to the excellent organizational skills of the "Turtles", after half-time, the Thunder fell behind by 14 points.
If Kevin McHale were coaching the Thunder now, he would probably put Westbrook on the bench, just like he did to Harden.
He put his own star player on the bench and won the game in the end. I have to say that in this regard, McHale's courage is worthy of recognition.
Unfortunately, the result of this was that McHale was dismissed from get out of class. In this era, if there is a conflict between a star and a coach, 90% of the people who pack up and leave are coaches.
Therefore, even if Westbrook plays like this, Donovan does not dare to completely replace him with Oladipo.
Think about it, if Westbrook is not allowed to play, what kind of chaos he will have to face the next day.
Therefore, Donovan can only hope that Westbrook can bottom out and rebound. Although, such hope is very slim...
After the start of the third quarter, Link's data continued to skyrocket. Today, he may be the first to get a triple-double.
But when the game reached the end of the third quarter, Hubie Brown discovered that Link's goal today was not just a triple-double, but a quadruple-double!
"Westbrook broke through for a layup, but the moment he took off, the basketball was cut off by Link! This was already the 8th steal that Link got in this game. For the 8th time, Link broke his own Career record!”
Hubie Brown's heart began to pound, not because of how intense the game was, but because Link was only 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals away from a quadruple-double!
The last time someone could score a quadruple-double in an NBA game was back in 1994!
At that time, "Admiral" David Robinson scored 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks in the game against the Pistons, becoming the last player to get a quadruple-double so far.
In 1994, Westbrook was only 6 years old!
There have only been four officially recognized quadruple-doubles in NBA history.
Even Michael Jordan, who is on every list, failed to appear on the list of four-double records this time.
ESPN made a statistics counting the players who have completed or are close to completing a quadruple-double since the 1985-86 season.
In the end, there were only 20 after all. In other words, there are only 16 people who can achieve close to a quadruple-double.
This shows how difficult it is to do.
If Link can really hit a quadruple-double today, it will undoubtedly be the best response to Westbrook's triple-double per game!
Moreover, these data of Link are all real.
It seems that this year, Link's desire for MVP is greater than ever before.
In addition to Link's upcoming quadruple-double, Westbrook's turnover count today is also close to double digits.
The contrast between the two today is too obvious.
At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder trailed by 17 points. But in today's era, 1 point is not enough for Joger to safely declare that the game has entered garbage time.
Therefore, Link still has a chance to play in the fourth quarter.
At this time, he was only 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 steals away from a quadruple-double!
"Link, you are about to get a quadruple-double record!" During the break, everyone reminded Link.
To avoid the embarrassing situation like the last time he played Rockets, Link didn't know that he was about to break the 50+15+15 record.
Link looked up at the big screen and nodded calmly.
Today, Link looked up at the data from time to time. But not to see his own data, but to see Westbrook's data.
Seeing that guy being "returned to his original shape", Link felt relieved.
As for a quadruple-double in a single game?
Well, since I have the chance, let's take it by the way.
