One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Six: A Masterpiece with an Educator (4/5)

Since the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, the cheers in FedEx Arena have not stopped.

Until now, there are only 32 seconds left before the end of the game, and cheers still fill the audience.

At this time, the Milwaukee Bucks were already 13 points behind the Grizzlies, and they had no hope of winning.

After all, even the miraculous reappearance of the "Tracy McGrady Moment" takes 35 seconds.

On the field, both sides have deployed full substitute lineups. The last 32 seconds were just a formality, the Bucks had given up resistance.

The game restarted, but the live camera did not focus on the court, but gave a close-up of Antetokounmpo on the Bucks bench.

A few days ago, after the game against the Clippers, Antetokounmpo said arrogantly: "I don't want to be thought of as arrogant, that's not who I am, but I really don't think anyone can stop me. I."

A day ago, the Greek faced the camera and said with a smile on his face: "Link is no longer the most dominant player in the league, he is just one of the most dominant players."

But what now? The confident smile completely disappeared without a trace. Instead, there were only dull eyes and helpless faces.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's statistics for this game are 37 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals. It seems that "Antetokounmpo" performed well today. He almost scored 40 points at FedEx Arena!

However, under these brilliant statistics, only 4 points were scored in the last five points, and all three shots from beyond the three-point line were missed. Of course, that includes four turnovers in the last five minutes!

The Greek's crucial performance in the last five minutes made his superficial statistics worthless.

And this is why the Milwaukee Bucks are so far behind.

On the other hand, Link has 46 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 4 steals so far, a 40-point triple-double!

Among them, he scored 5 three-pointers in the last five minutes! Moreover, the shooting percentage is a terrible 5-for-5.

In addition to offense, Link almost locked down Antetokounmpo's defense in the last five minutes, which was also amazing.

Although the data is better than Antetokounmpo, Link also performed much better than the Greek at critical moments.

It was Link's outstanding performance at the critical moment,

Letting the Grizzlies completely kill the game.

That's right, throughout today's game, Antetokounmpo was in a state of 50-50 with Link.

But the difference in the last five minutes was enough to separate the two.

You know, five minutes ago, Antetokounmpo just hit a three-pointer, widening the point difference to 5 points. Moreover, at that time, Antetokounmpo provoked Link with confidence.

Five minutes later, everything changed.

Antetokounmpo came to FedEx Arena confidently with an exaggerated 16-game winning streak and the honor of being number one in the MVP rankings.

As a result, he was completely dominated by Link for the last five minutes.

Antetokounmpo wanted to take over the banner of the league's number one player from Link, but today he found that he was still far away.

"Beep~~~~"

Antetokounmpo was stunned, and a harsh buzzer sounded throughout the audience.

This focus battle officially ended. The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, who were in the midst of a 16-game winning streak, 124-112 at home, with a 12-point difference.

The loss of this game put the Bucks' plan to break the best winning streak in team history on hold.

God knows if they will have a second chance to get close to 20 consecutive wins this season.

On the contrary, the Grizzlies have won eight consecutive victories after this game!

We are already infinitely close to the "small goal" of ten consecutive wins set by Link!

"It's over, it's over! The Memphis Grizzlies have proven their invincible dominance as the defending champions. Link also proved that until he retires, there will be no player who can surpass him."

Mike Breen cheered. Link's performance in this game was simply wonderful.

With such a huge size difference, Link actually scored a 40-point triple-double!

This is really shocking.

Link made a total of 9 of 15 shots from beyond the three-point line today, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 60%. The most important thing is that 5 of the three-pointers came in the last five minutes.

His lethality at critical moments is amazing.

People say Antetokounmpo is likely to surpass Link this season. But Link used his own performance to defend his throne.

After the game, Antetokounmpo did not hug Link, but "escaped" into the tunnel in despair.

Originally, in his imagination, he would proudly shake hands and hug Link with a victor's attitude, showing off his general style.

However, the style of a general is unique to the victor.

He really didn't dare to face Link and face this tragic defeat.

His near-disappearance in his final moments made him miserable.

This season, he has led the Bucks to victory all the way until now. He has always felt that he is very strong, strong enough to compete with the strongest players in the league.

But today, Antetokounmpo feels extremely weak.

When he was forced to make mistakes again and again by Link, when he was left open outside the three-point line but did not dare to take a shot...

This deep feeling of powerlessness made him feel that he and Link were not on the same level at all.

Even Antetokounmpo will put away his arrogance after this game.

Facts have proved that the ceiling of this league is far higher than he imagined.

Even though he is 2.11 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.24 meters, he still can't touch him.

Link is right, let’s talk about succession after he gets even a championship ring...

The Bucks players left the game in despair, and Link, who scored a triple-double with 40 points, became the protagonist today.

After the game, Link proudly said in an interview with reporters: "Now, we are the team with the most consecutive wins in the league."

After the Bucks' 16-game winning streak was interrupted, the Grizzlies' 8-game winning streak is still the longest winning streak.

The Bucks were the only hope to stop the Grizzlies from continuing to wreak havoc, but now they themselves have been trampled.

"Link, how do you evaluate Giannis' performance today? Before the game, he was so confident. But during the game, how did you limit him at critical moments?" The reporters continued to talk to Antetokounmpo related things.

And Link had no intention of saving face for "Antetokounmpo".

"Giannis is a good player, but to be the best in the league... hahaha, don't be ridiculous, he couldn't even give me trouble in the last five minutes. The Bucks can win 16 games in a row The only reason is because they are meeting us now. No one, no team, can stop our championship plan this season."

Link's response was very rude. Guys like Antetokounmpo just have to beat him up to make him remember.

At the subsequent press conference, reporters conveyed Link's words to Antetokounmpo exactly.

Antetokounmpo is now one of the top three superstars in the league. Doesn’t he want to lose face?

Many reporters thought that with Antetokounmpo's current arrogant personality, he would definitely have a fight with Link.

However, after hearing reporters relaying Link's words, Antetokounmpo just shook his head helplessly: "Link is too strong. I have never been so dominated by my opponent at the last moment. Now thinking about my experience in the last five minutes of the game, I It makes everyone shudder. He really beat me today, and I have to keep working hard."

Antetokounmpo's statement shocked reporters.

This is the "Greek monster" that everyone is afraid of! ?

Why did you become so good all of a sudden?

Ten minutes later, Bill Simmons posted a photo of Antetokounmpo's arrogance yesterday and a photo of him being beaten up today on his social media, and added a sentence.

"No matter how naughty a child is, he is afraid of a strict teacher."

Link, an educator, presented another masterpiece of his educational career.

The rampaging pace of the "Greek monster" was blocked by Link.

So who can stop Link from wreaking havoc next?
