One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty-Two: The Road Has Come to an End
The game eventually fell into garbage time. Link scored his 50th point of the game with more than four points left before the end of the game.
This crazy scoring ability made the Milwaukee fans turn pale with fright.
If you want to score 50 points, in addition to having superb scoring skills, you also need enough playing time to do it.
For example, Kobe Bryant scored 50 points in the playoffs in overtime.
But what about Link? He scored 50 points with just over four minutes to go...
This is simply inhuman behavior.
In the past, Milwaukee fans would have been thankful they had a beast like Antetokounmpo.
But now, Antetokounmpo has become a docile sheep.
After the game was suspended, the Greeks staggered towards the bench like zombies.
His eyes were dim and his expression was dull. He was obviously very disappointed in the fourth quarter, and Link's words just now completely destroyed this sturdy "Greek monster".
22 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. Looking at the data alone, Antetokounmpo's performance is not bad.
But the process of this game was too torturous for Antetokounmpo.
He has not scored a point throughout the entire fourth quarter. When the team needed its star to step up the most, Antetokounmpo did nothing.
He was suppressed by Link throughout the game and had no room to fight back.
He and Link were like Jordan versus rookie Miller.
Miller also ambitiously wanted to bring Jordan down from the altar, but he was educated to the point where he couldn't speak.
It's just that Antetokounmpo is worse than Miller.
In the end, Miller did grow into Jordan's old enemy, and his shot of pushing away Jordan was regarded as a classic.
And Antetokounmpo...he will never have a chance to beat Link in his life.
No matter how successful he is in the future,
When people look back on his career, they mention that Link was the one opponent he never defeated...
Budenholzer looked at the disappointed players, shook his head and sighed.
It's over, the Milwaukee Bucks' 19-20 season is over.
Link's 50 points destroyed the confidence of all Bucks players.
Not just confidence in this one game, but confidence in this entire series.
There are no ifs. Now even Budenholzer himself doesn’t want to face the next game, let alone the players.
Budenholzer doesn't know if he's lucky or unlucky.
Unfortunately, the first time he led his team to the finals, he encountered an opponent that was almost impossible to defeat.
Fortunately, he and the Bucks have become part of this legend, and they are witnesses of the legend.
They have experienced this great era that may never be replicated again. Unfortunately, they can only play the role of losers in this period of history.
"The game is over, it's over. Link once again scored 50 points. This is Link's third 50-point performance in a single game since the playoffs this season! He did not leave any mark for his final season. He has left no regrets for the fans. Link’s career is complete and he can leave with peace of mind after the next game.”
Mike Brin was silent for about a minute before finally speaking again.
He just stopped talking, not because he was out of words, but because he himself was deeply shocked by Link's performance.
Mike Breen is a veteran commentator who has experienced the Jordan era. As a commentator for the Knicks at the time, he will never forget how Jordan ravaged the New York Knicks and other teams in the Eastern Conference at that time.
But in the past ten years, every time he recalls the Jordan era, Mike Brin always feels that Jordan has given him less and less shock.
Now, he finally knew why.
Not because the memory is too long, but because Link gave him a greater shock!
He feels that he is lucky because he is one of the few commentators who has witnessed the entire careers of two generations of basketball gods.
But speaking of it, Link's career was really too short.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last scene.
Although it’s hard to say how many more games there will be in the series, Mike Breen firmly believes that the next game will be Link’s final performance.
Link doesn't like to procrastinate in front of the championship.
And as for the current Bucks... can they still show any decent fighting power?
Link's end is right in front of him.
After the timeout, the game resumes. But now, no one is paying attention to the game.
Link sat on the bench, waiting for the seconds to pass.
In the Battle of Milwaukee, despite the Bucks' intensive three-point attack, he still led the team to survive.
Before the game started, he never thought about 50 points. After all, Link didn't come here to set a new record.
But I didn't expect that the resistance of Milwaukee people would ultimately bring about all this.
Therefore, a great game also needs a great opponent to set off.
When he was on the court, Link only thought about killing and going crazy one last time.
But now that he has calmed down, Link hopes that time can pass slower.
His career is about to end...
He didn't know how Kobe and Wade felt when they faced their final battle. Link only knew that his emotions were very complicated now.
His final game was not scheduled to be at home and was not promoted early. After all, no one knew beforehand what Link's final battle would be.
He not only has to fight hard in the playoffs, but also enjoys every last minute and second as much as possible...
It's really difficult.
This kind of farewell battle may be the most special farewell battle.
Link plays more than 100 games every season. After all, Link has not missed the playoffs in any season in the past ten years.
He has never thought about the question "what will happen when the game is over", because the game seems to be endless and there is no end in sight.
But this time, the last game is really coming...
"Beep~~~~"
Just as Link was thinking wildly, the electronic buzzer sounded that represented the end of the game.
128 to 105, the Milwaukee Bucks played a high-opening and low-moving game.
They resisted bravely in the first three quarters of the game, and even had a 12-0 offensive climax in the first quarter.
They gave the fans at the scene unlimited reverie and hope, and they seemed to really be able to change the trend of this series.
But it is a pity that Link completely destroyed the hope with a great 50-point performance.
The cruelest thing is not to have no hope, but to give a little hope and then take it back...
Grizzly and Link often do cruel things like this.
After the game, the Bradley Center was lifeless, but the fans in the square outside were dancing with excitement.
This may be the weirdest scene in NBA playoff history.
3-0, which means that Link's goal of four consecutive championships has been achieved ahead of schedule!
The next game will no longer be a fierce finals showdown, but Link's retirement performance.
Whether Milwaukeeans want to admit it or not, this is true.
After the game, Link re-entered the court as a winner and was interviewed by reporters.
The person who conducted the sideline interview with Link today was Link’s old acquaintance Stephen A. Smith.
Link smiled. Smith, a humorous guy, could always find exciting and interesting topics. Link also liked working with him.
But today, Smith, who is wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, is not smiling as usual.
His expression was heavy. Link had rarely seen this funny reporter look so serious.
After Stephen A. Smith walked up to Link with his photography team, he paused first and signaled the camera not to be busy filming.
Then, he walked up to Link, as if he wanted to say a few words to Link in a private capacity.
Smith stared at Link, then grabbed Link's arm.
Link was completely confused. What was he going to do?
At this time, Stephen A. Smith, a reporter who usually played the buffoon, uttered a few serious words.
"Don't leave, Link, we can't bear to leave you."
Outside the Bradley Center, countless fans were chanting the same thing.
