Genius remember the address of this site in one second: [Er Yuetian Novel Network] The fastest update! No ads!
In the third quarter, after scoring 7 points in a row, Link said to George Carr, "You have to find someone to guard me. Anyone can! Otherwise, I'll score 40 points tonight." At the time, George Carr never thought that this was not just a provocation.
Because now that the game has reached the fourth quarter, Link is only 6 points away from his 40th point.
More than ten seconds ago, Link made a tip-off on "Company Commander" Corey Brewer. That goal allowed Link to score the 34th point of the game. At the same time, it also makes the Denver Nuggets behind the Grizzlies by a full 7 points!
George Karl felt unbelievable. At halftime, they came back with a huge advantage of 15 points. But after six minutes in the fourth quarter, they were seven points behind!
Recalling what happened during this period, George Karl felt his blood pressure soaring, as if he would faint at any time.
Fainted by anger, he was talking about George Karl's situation.
In the third quarter, Link scored 7 points in a row to help the Grizzlies reduce the difference to 8 points. George Karl began to try to double-team Link.
As a result, just as Stevens planned, Link used his superb passing skills and broad passing vision to connect the Grizzlies' offense together.
So in the third quarter, the Grizzlies played their coveted egalitarian offense after the one-on-one duel between Link and Wilson Chandler at the beginning of the game.
Therefore, if you want the team to play a team offense, sometimes you need to give a certain player the right to fire.
After that, the Grizzlies' offense was unstoppable, but the Nuggets' offense was torn apart by the Grizzlies' resolute 1-on-1 defense.
The Nuggets have no star disadvantage, once again exposed in front of the Grizzlies. Without a single player, the Nuggets have absolutely no advantage in 1-on-1 offense and defense.
So at the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies not only reversed the 15-point gap, but also beat the Nuggets by 4 points!
Hubie Brown laughed smugly at the time, and he said, just to tie the game, it will never be the Grizzlies' goal!
These guys, always do better than you expect.
So in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies chased after the victory. After playing for a few minutes, it resisted the counterattack of the Nuggets and opened the difference to 7 points.
Link became almost a scoring machine for the Grizzlies during this period, with most of the Grizzlies scoring either from his direct goals or his assists.
After the tip-up just now, Link not only scored 34, but also scored 10 assists and 6 rebounds. Before the game was over, he had already got a double-double!
After Link tipped the basket, the Nuggets players were already a little dejected. Link is too strong today, completely unstoppable!
George Karl also has a sense of humiliation that his authority has been challenged, and few people in the entire league have dared to provoke him directly with words. The most important thing is that after provoking with words, Link immediately put it into action, which is the most terrifying!
"The Nuggets are 7 points behind again, and if the Grizzlies finally stick to the end of this game, it will be a great comeback win!"
"Yes, Link's performance in the second half of the game was perfect! Scores, assists, rebounds and defense, you can see him in every corner of the court! He proved with practical actions that his strength is completely worthy of it. Rankings in the first round of voting for the All-Stars!"
Thunder fans and New York fans should be disappointed, because even they must admit that Link's performance in the second half of the game was impeccable.
Even if Durant and Anthony come, it won't necessarily be able to do that.
When the Nuggets attacked again, they no longer had the momentum they had in the first half. In the first half, the Nuggets were always high-spirited, and they were able to complete the offense through the halfcourt like lightning.
But now, everyone in the Nuggets lacks self-confidence. Their transmission is still fast and frequent,
But nothing substantive. It's more like taking basketball as a hot potato that no one wants to take over.
In the end, "Company Commander" Corey Brewer had to force a shot against Link before the 24-second attack time was over.
Just as the ball was thrown, George Carr covered his head.
The defense is too good, it is impossible to enter!
Brewer is a three-pointer. He is not a solid three-point shooter, and his three-point shooting rate this season is only 29.6%. Randolph received his 10th rebound of the game and became the Grizzlies again!
George Karl looked at Link, thinking about what he said to himself in the third quarter.
The game is far from garbage time, the Grizzlies will continue to be present, and Link has many opportunities.
Can he really get 40 points? I hope not. There are only two 40-point nights in Link's career, and George Carr believes that he will not be so unlucky.
However, the old man had just finished comforting himself when Link scored a goal...
After Link used Gasol to cover the breakthrough and entered the penalty area, McGee was in trouble on the question of "the Link who should be the defensive breakthrough or the Gasol who made the mid-range shot".
Finally, Link made a pass to Gasol. McGee hurriedly stepped out of the penalty area and reached out to steal, but he wanted to see, who would say that his basketball IQ is low!
However, Link was just a fake pass. After tricking McGee away from the penalty area, Link easily made a layup... McGee waved his hand embarrassedly, his face flushed. Today's Top Five?
"36 points! Link's score is still rising! The Nuggets can't do anything about him. Coach George Karl tried Brewer and Chandler today, but the results were not satisfactory. They took Link, It's really helpless."
George Karl fell back to the bench. The Nuggets players on the bench thought that George Karl was going to curse, so they hurriedly lowered their heads. But after a long time, George Karl did not make a sound.
The Nuggets looked up and found that the old man was not angry, but stared at the court dully.
Thousand wins coach George Karl, completely lost to that undrafted pick today. He admitted that the Nuggets didn't have anyone who could guard Link.
After a few minutes, the game was over. The FedEx Arena was shaking, and the fans were screaming more frantically than usual. After all, winning this game was heart-wrenching.
106-97, the Grizzlies narrowly won the game with a 9-point advantage after trailing by 15 points at halftime. This reversal victory is much more exciting than directly crushing the Nuggets.
At the end of the game, Memphis Mayor A.C. Walton cheered like a regular fan. Can you not be excited? At the end of the first half, he thought he was leaving the FedEx Arena in a very embarrassing situation.
But in the end, Link relied on his own efforts to keep the carnival day that belongs to Memphis and the face of the city.
"Fantastic game, textbook reversal! With 40 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, Link stole the Nuggets' victory with impeccable performance! This morning, Link just became an All-Star in the first round. The third-ranked player in the vote, he ranks even higher than Durant, Anthony, Garnett and other stars. I believe, he must be questioned! But now, Link has told the world that he can afford it This ranking! Everyone, continue to vote for him enthusiastically!"
After Hubie Brown finished speaking, on the court, Link also hugged and celebrated with his teammates. And George Carr was surrounded by reporters. There is no doubt that in today's technologically advanced age, journalists all know what Link sprayed on the old Karl on the court.
So, they deliberately asked old Karl what they thought of the loss of the game.
George Karl was in a bad mood, so he exclaimed, "If anyone can limit that son of a bitch to below 30 points, it will be a successful defense."
And when this sentence reached Link's ears, Link only replied, "Thank you for the compliment, I will make persistent efforts."
Limit yourself to less than 30 points and win... Link can only take George Carr's words as a compliment.
Afterwards, the audience stood up collectively and shouted MVP. All the Grizzlies stopped, visibly stunned. After all, in the past, no Grizzlies players can enjoy such treatment.
You can only experience what it's like to fall in love with a city when the fans stand up and shout MVP for you.
Link stood in the middle circle, enjoying this moment of honor that belonged to him.
Stevens smiled slightly, and Link, who stood in the center circle and enjoyed the fans' greetings, has become the face of Memphis.
When it comes to Memphis in the future, people will never say, "There's never been a superstar here."
