One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirteen: Don’t Take Chances

Not long after the fans at Staples Center were happy, their carnival came to an abrupt end.

James scored 6 points in a row and dunked Morris. It was a lively game.

But everything calmed down after Link reappeared.

People have not forgotten how explosive the performance of the guy who just scored 21 points in 12 minutes was.

Link jumped twice. To be honest, his body still felt a little heavy.

But if you just want to score points, it is completely enough.

James' ecstatic mood disappeared without a trace in an instant, but at the same time, he was also lucky.

Link's physical fitness is definitely not as good as each other. And 21 points in a single quarter is too exaggerated even for Link.

He can do it once or twice, but it's impossible for Link to score 20 points in each of the four quarters, right?

Therefore, Link's performance in the next three quarters is unlikely to be better than his performance in the first quarter!

If you want to say that Link can continuously output 20 points in every quarter, James will definitely not believe it.

An average of 20 points in one quarter, that’s 80 points in one game!

There are several people in NBA history who can score 80 points in a single game! ? Excluding "Dashuai Zhang" from ancient times, there is only one!

Perhaps 40, 50 or even 60 points in a single game are commonplace in this day and age.

But 80 points in a single game is still a record that is almost impossible to break.

Some time ago, when James was a guest on a show, the host asked him what he thought was the most difficult personal record to be broken in NBA history.

James said bluntly: "The first difficulty is the 41 points per game in the Finals created by Jordan in 1993, and the second difficulty is the 81 points in a single game created by Kobe."

This is indeed James' true inner thought, because James' own career-high score was "only" 61 points.

James has only scored 60 points in a single game once.

He really couldn't imagine what it was like to score 20 more points on top of 61 points.

In fact, it's not just James. Most stars believe that Kobe's 81 points in a single game cannot be replicated.

Although Link is very strong, James doesn't think he can be exaggerated enough to break the record of 81 points.

Really, that's so unrealistic.

So far in Link's career, his highest score in a single game is 63 points. Facts have proved that even for Link, scoring 80 points in a single game is extremely difficult. Not to mention, it was when Link was exhausted.

Therefore, James firmly believes that Link cannot score 20 points in every quarter.

His performance in the first quarter of the game was probably the peak of the day.

In the next three quarters, Link will never be so magical again!

Thinking of this, James' confidence soared. He wants to continue the Lakers' offensive momentum, and even if Link comes, he can't change anything.

Link didn't think too much about 80 points or 20 points in a quarter. Link didn't come to the basketball court to do math problems.

He only knows that he is the only one who has the ability to compete with the Lakers. As the leader of the team, he must fight to the end.

Even Carter, who is in his forties, is going to the basket with all his heart. Is there any reason for Link to back down?

In the last year of your career, is it possible that you still have regrets for yourself?

When Link attacked for the first time after returning, he repeated his old tricks and suddenly stopped in the mid-to-long range, hoping to take advantage of James's negligence in defending this position to score.

But James is also a top athlete after all.

In addition to having a top-notch body, Lao Zhan also has a top-notch basketball IQ.

Although medium and long distances are indeed the most cost-effective location, few people would choose to make a fuss in this area. But after Link scored here just now, it still aroused James' alert.

So this time, James was more careful to prevent Link from making another emergency stop jumper.

Unexpectedly, James really guessed it.

So the moment Link stopped suddenly, James took a big step forward and stuck to him!

Since Link already holds the ball with both hands, he can no longer dribble. Being stuck by James under such circumstances, Link was basically protected to death!

But Link didn't give up. Even though he was pressed closely by James, Link still raised the basketball and prepared to shoot!

James raised his arm, but found that Link had just faked a shot.

Seeing that James was not fooled, Link quickly raised the basketball for the second time.

This time, Link actually made a jump shot. Moreover, instead of avoiding James, he actively leaned forward in the air and pounced on him!

James' raised arm had no time to retract it, and just like that, he was forced to violate Link's cylinder.

"Oh, why are you trying to grow a beard?"

Before James finished complaining, the referee blew the whistle.

But what surprised James the most was that Link's shot that was forced against him actually went in!

The basketball hits the net and the referee whistle blows. Just like the first quarter, Link got himself a chance to hit a three-pointer as soon as he started.

The whole audience exclaimed. Link could still shoot even though he was being pinned down, and he was still a three-pointer. How could he defend against this?

James' heart, which had been filled with excitement just now, was also in chaos.

What's going on?

Are there any laws? Is there any royal law?

Link silently hammered his chest and then stepped to the free throw line.

If you want to score high, free throws are essential. If you don't rely on free throws and just rely on sports games to score points, you won't be allowed to score so many points in time.

Therefore, Link did not take it lightly. Today, he will take every free throw opportunity seriously.

Link's free throws continued to hit, and he never returned empty-handed from the free throw line today.

In the first round after Link came back, he overtook the Lakers!

His personal score has also reached 24 points!

24 points.

In less than a quarter and a half, 24 points.

Young talents such as Ingram, Siakam, and Mitchell only average 24 points per game.

And Link achieved such a score in less than one and a half quarters!

The Lakers' momentum came to an abrupt end, and Link's appearance turned the situation upside down again.

And this three-pointer was just the appetizer, because Link's subsequent performance made James feel even more terrifying.

One round later, Link broke through and drew a foul. He stood on the free throw line and made two free throws. He scored 26 points!

One minute later, Link dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and suddenly made a pull-up, and the basketball scored again!

29 points!

After that, Link finally struck the iron once, and the Lakers used this opportunity to stabilize the point difference.

But Link's hand didn't feel cold for long. He quickly used a pull-bar layup after a breakthrough to rewrite his personal score today to 31 points!

Before the second quarter was over, Link had already scored 31 points!

James, who was originally lucky, suddenly felt that he was too naive. He was a naive middle-aged old man.

He thought the first quarter was Link's peak, but in fact, Link could still replicate what he did in the first quarter!

Link scored like crazy, although most of his scoring today was based on shooting and he tried to avoid high-intensity physical contact.

But people still find it incredible, how could Link still fight like this when he is exhausted?

During each pause, Link receives a muscle-relaxing massage from Saito.

Every time someone else made a free throw, Link would put his hands on his knees and gasp for air.

He looked as if he was on the verge of overdraft and ready to collapse at any moment. But in every critical moment, he can stand up and continue to score as if full of blood! Score again!

31 points, 33 points, 35 points, 37 points... Link's scores continue to skyrocket.

In the penultimate offense of the second quarter, when Link hit a drift shot from the right side of the court, Link's half-time score had reached 39 points!

21 points in the first quarter and 18 points in the second quarter.

Even though Link's physical fitness declined, he still maintained his condition perfectly.

Under the Lakers' strong overall offensive, the Grizzlies also relied on Link's performance to lead the Lakers by 5 points 1.3 seconds before halftime!

"39 points at halftime, my God! I don't know how much Link's score will be after the fourth quarter is over! Pay attention, the game is still very anxious now. In other words, Link clocked out early in the second half The probability is very low. Today, Link will score until the last second!"

Mike Breen was stunned. He scored 39 points at halftime. Viewed in isolation, this may not be anything. After all, there are more than one player in NBA history who scored 40 or 50 points in the first half.

But what if Link continues his form in the first half in the second half? What will his overall score be?

Mike Brin didn't dare to think too much. His rational side told him that this was simply impossible.

But his radical side told him that nothing was fucking impossible in front of Link!

In the last 1.3 seconds, Rajon Rondo hit a three-pointer from a long distance, and the Lakers entered the locker room with a 5-point disadvantage.

In the first half of the game, no one from the Grizzlies scored in double figures except Link. For the Lakers, James, Davis and Kuzma have all scored in double figures.

Logically speaking, the Lakers should be the ones taking the lead.

But Link's game never makes sense.

James walked into the locker room with dull eyes. He had no idea how to stop No. 0.

Last time it was 61 points. Could it be even stronger this time?

James swallowed. James seemed to understand Karl Malone's despair.

Under Link's crazy personal performance, and in front of the question of how many points Link can score in the end, 33 consecutive wins seem to be no longer so important. .

Kobe stood up with a serious expression.

He felt that one of his records seemed to be in danger.
