Two Hundred and Forty-Two: I Also Want to Be Insignificant
After Link dunked Lor Deng and scored 40 points, Thibodeau, who was still very high in the first quarter of the game, fell to the bench all of a sudden.
The Chicago Bulls trailed by 10 points with 1:08 left in the game. The most important thing is that the undrafted pick that was collectively ridiculed by the Chicago media before the game had already scored a triple-double of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists!
40 points, which is also Link's career high scoring record. As a little-known player, if there is no scoring record in the field, it is indeed almost meaningless. Today, Link is also the person who has scored 40 points in a single game. Undoubtedly, this added an important addition to Link's career resume!
Lol Deng got up with the help of his teammates. In the end, he still failed to stop the No. 0. 40 points, although not all of it was won by Lor Deng, it still made Deng Yingqiao feel extremely shameful.
This season, he has been hailed as one of the best wing defenders in the league. The results of it? As a result, he made an undrafted 40-point triple-double!
"Amazing Link, he has done things that many players can't do in their lifetimes! He scored 40 points and scored a triple-double, and Link swept the United Center with blood! Before the game, the Chicago media demoted Link. It's worthless! But now, when Link shows his performance to answer the question, what can the media say!?" Kevin Harlan is now completely facing Link. Lan is actually not optimistic about the Grizzlies.
But Link used his personal performance to reverse the whole game. It's hard not to be impressed by such a performance.
Thibodeau was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered to call a timeout. If even the head coach of a team is stunned, there is a high probability that they will not be able to organize any effective counterattacks.
Sure enough, in the last minute of the game, the Bulls played in a daze, and even Rose lost his fighting spirit.
In the United Center, fans began to leave the stadium in large numbers.
Today is January 1, 2012. Fans thought that the Bulls could use a big win as a New Year's gift for fans.
But the end result was disappointing.
Link was replaced with 30 seconds left in the game, which heralded the game's complete garbage time. When he was replaced, Link's data became 40 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.
No fans cheered for Link, and no one cheered for him. But Link looked at the fearful expressions of Chicago fans and that was enough.
The fun of the "big villain" is so simple and rude.
When the beep for the end of the game sounded, Link stood up and enjoyed the hugs and blessings of his teammates. 104 to 95, the Grizzlies counterattacked with 13 points at the United Center and tenaciously won the final victory. Of course, the final score no longer matters. Today, the only protagonist of the game is Link.
With a 40-point triple-double, Link became the first player in Grizzlies history to show this statistic. Another team history record was broken. In the future, when it comes to the history of the Memphis Grizzlies, Link will definitely be a name that cannot be skipped.
Ross, who scored 26 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, had his arms crossed and looked at Link from a distance. The guy's performance impressed Ross.
Ross kept telling himself that the person who was defeated by Link must not be himself. But sometimes it backfires.
He was selected to the All-Star Game in the second year, and became the All-Star starter in the third year. He won the MVP of the regular season, the first in the East, and was selected to the best team.
Is Derrick Rose amazing? He is simply one of the most amazing young men in NBA history. What about Link? If Ross was asked to answer, he would tell people, "That guy is just as amazing."
When he was in a daze, several reporters had already gathered around Ross. Ross shook his head, it seemed that he would inevitably become Link's background board today.
"Derrick, what do you think of your performance today? Your mid-range shots and three-pointers don't seem to be on target, and the overall shooting rate today is only 40%.
What is limiting you? Is it the Grizzlies defense or your own state? "
"All right. The Grizzlies are one of the best defensive teams in the league. The way they block the rim is very tough. Of course, I don't feel good in my hand. I will continue to improve."
The first question is quite common. But Ross knew that it was just the calm before the storm.
"As we all know, Link scored 40 points and a triple-double today, which is a very scary statistic. Even a superstar like Kobe Bryant has never had such a statistic. Link played in the first quarter of the Grizzlies' first quarter. What do you think of the brave step up to turn the game around and accomplish such a feat when you're 13 points behind?"
Sure enough, the second question made Ross embarrassed.
Rose's performance today is actually good, with 26 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds. Except for the low hit rate, there is no black spot. But at this time, no one will think that Rose is doing well, and Link's 40-point triple-double is there. Therefore, everyone also focused their attention on Link.
Ross looked up at the big screen, remembering the last goal, Link broke through himself and blocked Lor Deng's picture, and shook his head helplessly, "I can't judge, because I don't even know if I can do the same. matter."
After speaking, Ross waved his hand and left. The No. 1 pick in 2008, the youngest MVP in NBA history, could not escape the fate of being fouled by the following.
The record that the Grizzlies couldn't beat the Bulls has since become history. Rose is just lucky now that in the East, he doesn't have to meet an opponent like the Grizzlies in the playoffs.
Link wanted to remind Ross to pay attention to his style of play and the wear and tear of his body. But he was surrounded by reporters, and when he went to Ross again, he could no longer see anyone.
It seems that we can only wait for the next time.
At the post-match press conference, reporters asked Link if he scored 40 points and a triple-double today as a response to the Chicago media.
Link smiled and put his chin on one hand, "I'm just a trivial winner, really, very trivial. How trivial? Tomorrow's headlines in all sports newspapers and news will be me, including Chicago media. Trust me, I really want to be insignificant."
Link's response caused many Chicago media bosses to curse Link while urging their subordinates, "Leave enough space for that damn guy tomorrow! What? Boycott him? Unless I'm crazy, why am I doing this? !"
This time, the Chicagoans were a little overconfident about their youngest MVP.
※※※
Link didn't brag. The day after the game with the Bulls, the headlines of major sports newspapers and programs were all about him.
After all, the game was just too dramatic. Before the game, the Chicago media sneered at Link. In the game, the Grizzlies had only 12 points in one quarter. In the end, Link stood up and chased after him, scoring 40 points and a triple-double, completing a shocking reversal.
The script of a Hollywood sports movie is probably written to this extent.
Such an unusual game naturally attracted the attention of fans all over the world. And Link also blew up the entire basketball circle with his 40-point triple-double performance.
The ESPN columnist said, "Link is the most underrated super rookie."
Kevin Harlan tweeted, "I saw a great show."
Lor Deng was blunt in the interview, "I was beaten very badly at one point."
Kobe Bryant: "Why do I always take the case that I didn't get a 40-point triple-double as an example..."
Link has never enjoyed such treatment. In the past, he could only be regarded as a "niche star". But now, Link has entered the circle of high-level balloon stars.
Under this lively discussion, the first round of voting for the 2012 NBA All-Star Weekend began.
