One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Can't Escape
After enjoying the joy of his teammates and the cheers of the fans, Link finally calmed down a little.
After the game, he was so excited.
Because during the game, Link had been suppressing his emotions and forcing himself to stay calm.
So after the game was over, all the accumulated emotions burst out, and it was clear how excited Link was.
So much so that he actually swore at the camera during a nationally broadcast game...
I still haven’t set a good example as a good father.
Now that he had regained his composure, Link looked at the score on the big screen and took a breath himself.
It’s really dangerous!
In these 37 seconds, as long as one shot misses, even just once!
Now it's a different ending.
I don’t feel scared when climbing, but when I climb to the top and look back at my feet, I still feel a little scared.
This is how Link feels now.
He let out a big sigh of relief. Fortunately, he never liked to think too much during the game. Therefore, Link is confident that he can do even the seemingly impossible things.
If he had thought carefully about the feasibility of this matter during the game, he might not even have the confidence to do so.
Link was fortunate that his motives in the game were always very simple, he just wanted to win.
So sometimes, thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing.
Relying on his pure desire to win, Link created the greatest night in NBA history.
From 36 minutes to 53 minutes, it only took 37 seconds!
It is estimated that even Michael Jordan did not expect that Link could tie one of the greatest records in his career in 37 seconds.
With eight 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs, Link and Jordan were the only ones.
After continuing the regular season, Link also began to pursue Jordan in the playoffs.
Many reporters gathered around Link,
After calming down, Link also returned to his previous composure.
But the reporters were still not calm. When Link saw Stephen A. Smith, the guy's hands were still trembling.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, simply a miracle! Link, what have you done!?" Stephen A. Smith used several words of emotion when he came over.
"I just want to win the game, Stephen." Link patted Stephen A. Smith on the shoulder. He liked this guy's reaction.
"Congratulations, you did it! You must be very unwilling to lose the last game because of Leonard's consecutive steals at the last moment. So, is your act of revenge today?" After the shock, Stephen A. Smith did not forget his mission and officially started the interview.
"Of course, after being defeated by the Clippers once, I naturally wanted to win back as soon as possible. Having said that, after the last loss, many people said that I could not continue my scoring performance at critical moments under Leonard's defense. They said You must be right, otherwise I would have finished 37 seconds and 20 minutes today!"
Link's expression was kind, but there was a hidden edge in his words, and he harshly complained about those who doubted him.
"Kavai Leonard is indeed a strong enemy, but you want to completely block me? Sorry, such a person has not been born yet." Link was not satisfied, so he added later, he was as rampant as ever.
But on such a legendary night, Link did have a lot of money.
"After this game, you have scored 50+ points in the playoffs for the eighth time, which is equal to Michael Jordan. What do you want to say to tie this great record?" Stephen A. Smith Seeing that Link was in high spirits today, he took the opportunity to ask more questions.
"I don't have anything to say. I prefer winning games to personal records. It's great to tie this record, but it's not my goal. I'll tell you the rest when Michael comes to give me the award this summer. .”
"The next game, the series will move to Los Angeles. Will you continue to maintain your form? Although you created a miracle today, I have to say that the Grizzlies are still playing very hard. After arriving in Los Angeles, do you think the situation will be Has there been any change?"
Faced with this question, Link paused.
Yes, the most imperfect thing about today is that this miraculous 37 seconds and 17 minutes has not completely killed the Clippers.
Only two games of the best-of-seven series have been played, and the Grizzlies are still some distance away from a real victory.
The Clippers are indeed strong and ended the game in the first game. If it weren't for Link's miracle in the second game, the Clippers would probably have won.
Don't be too happy to fight against such an opponent.
This year's Los Angeles Clippers, let alone this season, can definitely be considered a very tough opponent based on the scale of Link's entire career.
But Link is not worried now, he has now accurately tested his limits.
He is confident that he can defeat all powerful enemies. Maybe the process will be a little bumpy, maybe the Grizzlies can't advance as easily as before 4-0, maybe this will go through a hard battle.
But as long as we can win, 4-3 or 4-0 doesn't matter.
Link then slowly approached the microphone with firm eyes: "The Clippers are a very strong opponent, but I will not allow failure. You have to know Stephen, when we encounter strong opponents, we will become stronger."
After saying that, Link ended the interview and walked towards the player tunnel.
At this time, the stadium was still full of fans, and no one wanted to leave the stadium early before Link.
Link waved casually towards the stands and was met with overwhelming shouts.
Stephen A. Smith looked at Link's back and smiled.
He felt like he really saw Michael Jordan.
Neither Leonard nor George attended the Clippers' press conference after the game.
They were probably still reeling from Link's shocking performance, so naturally they were in no mood to attend any press conference.
But Doc Rivers is not so lucky. As the team coach, he must attend the press conference.
So after being tortured by Link, Rivers had to face the torture of reporters.
"How does it feel to be reversed when the victory is already determined?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Rivers, are you feeling desperate? What were you thinking when Link made the last three-pointer?"
"Why didn't you come up with an effective countermeasure in those short 37 seconds? Were you so surprised that you forgot to deploy the tactics, or did you deploy them but it didn't work?"
The reporters' questions were like sharp knives piercing Rivers' heart.
Those scenes that he didn't want to recall again were reminded over and over again by reporters.
This is simply a whip and corpse.
Rivers just wanted to shout: "I am ruthless!"
Rivers spent the entire press conference with dull eyes, and then left the media room like a zombie.
Just as Rivers headed to the underground parking lot to get on the team bus back to his hotel, Rivers came face to face with his nightmare.
Rivers looked at Link three steps away from him, a little shocked.
He didn't expect that he would meet this guy by chance.
Link, who had just come out of the press conference, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Rivers to go the wrong way and walk to the Grizzlies activity area.
Is this the legendary being frightened stupidly?
"You're in the wrong place, Doug." Link looked at the dejected Rivers and pointed to the fork on the right, "That's the way to the underground parking lot."
"Thank you." Rivers replied weakly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
To be precise, the experienced coach seemed to be running away.
He didn't even look at Link, and in a flash, Rivers disappeared.
"Damn, am I so scary? It's like seeing a ghost when you see me." Link curled his lips. Rivers' pre-game temperament of fighting for wealth was gone.
It seems that this game did give the Clippers a great psychological deterrent.
Rivers is an old coach who has seen big scenes. Even he was frightened like this. The psychological state of the Clippers players can be known.
Suddenly, Link felt more confident. Maybe the battle in Los Angeles will be easier than expected...
Link smirked and headed straight for the locker room.
Escape? it's useless.
Anyway, in the end, everyone will inevitably have a battle in Los Angeles.
You can't run away.
It's better to clean up and accept the destiny.
The city of angels will now also fall into hell.
