Six Hundred and Forty-Four: This Is the First in History?

Indianapolis is a basketball city, from high school to college to NBA teams, it is very popular with local people.

Although in addition to basketball, Indianapolis also has the famous "brick factory" and the world-famous Indy 500 race.

But no matter how passionate the roar of the racing car is, it still cannot overshadow the status of basketball in the hearts of the locals.

Tonight, countless Indianapolis fans watched this high-profile battle. The Pacers, who won seven in a row, and the Grizzlies, who won six in a row, did not disappoint the fans. The process of the game was thrilling. Hard to beat.

But unfortunately, the resolution of this game will certainly not satisfy the Pacers fans. They failed to remain undefeated, they failed to witness George defeat Link. They saw George score a career high, but they also saw Link do it all.

For the passionate fans, tonight was a huge blow to them. Maybe Link will be a nightmare for Indianapolis for a long time to come.

At least, it will be Paul George's nightmare.

"You bastard, you actually scored 52 points on my head, are you fucking serious?"

On the banks of the White River, the breeze blew gently. Paul George stood on the fence by the river, watching the waves on the river, shaking his head helplessly.

"You're the one who got it first, George. At the end of the fourth quarter, I only got 39 points. You got 40 first to escalate the fight. So don't blame me."

Beside George, Link smiled and patted his good friend on the shoulder.

No way, there is no brotherhood in NBA games. Link didn't want to deliberately score 52 points on George's head, he just wanted to win.

"Hey, you guy... is really not a good person. But it's better, it's better to lose to you than to lose to someone else. The undefeated golden body is broken, and the pressure on your body doesn't seem to be that great." George straightened up again and looked at Link.

"Hopefully, by the finals, my progress will catch up with you. I won't give in, Link. I'll win the championship, even if I have to beat you."

"Welcome to me in the finals, George. I don't want to face LeBron James anymore. I hope you can let me change my opponent."

"Shit, it's like you're going to make it to the finals for sure.

"George waved his hand, it wasn't so stinky at Link University.

"Hey, let's go, it's time to go back, it's getting late. It's weird for two big men to come to the river to blow the air."

"Well, go back. By the way, Link, are you going to enter the free agency market next summer? Your contract with the Grizzlies expires next summer, right?" George glanced at Link as he walked.

"What? Are you trying to recruit me to join forces with you? Be careful I call the Alliance Office to report you."

"What are you recruiting? Recruiting, I'm not Larry Bird. Of course, I'd love to play with you..."

"This summer, I should not enter the free agency market. If there is no accident, I may continue to stay in Memphis." Link looked at the Seine River, and for some reason, thought of the Mississippi River in Memphis.

"Really? I thought you would want to go to a big city." George pouted. As a Californian, George had a bad impression of Memphis.

Although he didn't think Tennessee was a country, and he wouldn't call people there hillbillies, it was really backward.

A superstar nesting in a small place like Memphis? It's hard for George to imagine such a thing anyway.

"Big city? You mean Los Angeles? New York? Boston? Hahahaha, who doesn't like big cities? Just Memphis and my unfinished business."

Link lowered his head and smiled. He was not an American, so he didn't care that much about big cities and small cities. Before crossing, Link lived in a small town in the south. So there's nothing wrong with Memphis for him.

And since he settled in the Grizzlies, Memphis' crime rate has continued to decline and the economy has continued to grow.

When he was abandoned, it was Memphis who accepted him. When he was questioned by the world, it was Memphis fans who stood by him.

Therefore, Link did not want to abandon Memphis either. Indeed, in Los Angeles, in places like New York, Link gets more exposure and better business opportunities. If nothing else, the rookies selected by the Lakers every year have a higher exposure rate than some All-Star players.

This is no exaggeration. In the future, the high-ranked rookies in the Lakers, such as D'Angelo Russell, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and others, are not more exposed than the All-Star. ?

But according to Chinese thinking, Link attaches great importance to the concept of "home".

Memphis and the Grizzlies are Link's home.

Even if it costs some exposure and business opportunity, so what? And as long as a player is great enough, even in a small city, there is no shortage of exposure.

When James was in Cleveland, the exposure was equally high.

"Unfinished business?" George was a little surprised to hear Link say this. "But... you're already a champion. What else do you have to do in Memphis?"

"Last season's championship is just the beginning, George, it's just the beginning." Link did not continue to speak, but George was obviously very surprised.

He knew that Link was referring to the beginning, the beginning of a dynasty.

With 52 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, Link stunned everyone last night in Indianapolis.

When Link cut down this statistic at the time, he didn't actually think it was a big deal. After all, in the era he originally lived in, Westbrook and Harden had more than one 50+ triple-double performance.

So after the game, he also leisurely accompanied George to take a walk along the banks of the Seine. He had no idea what kind of storm he had set off in the league.

When Link woke up in the hotel room the next day, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

The 50+ triple-double that I accidentally got, in the end of 2013, when the era of small balls has not yet come, seems to be a bit too good.

It's so awesome that ESPN has produced a special program since early in the morning to analyze how great Link's 50-point triple-double is.

"There are many stars in NBA history who have scored 50 points in a single game. Wilt Chamberlain has a miracle of 100 points in a single game, and Kobe has the highest single-game record of 81 points among active players. Iverson, Jordan and other scoring masters have also scored 50+ points in many performances, and it seems that it is not difficult for a superstar to score 50 points in a single game." At the beginning of the show, Mike Brin's expression was very serious.

"But if you add more difficulty on top of the 50 points, such as scoring 50 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, there are only 14 players in NBA history. If it is 50 points and 10 assists, then in NBA history Only 4 people have completed it! Now, do you know what the concept of Link's 50-point triple-double is? Since the NBA has detailed technical statistics, no one has ever done it!"

"I wipe? Really?" Link, who was watching TV in the hotel room, was taken aback. Since the detailed technical statistics, no one has achieved 50+ triple-doubles? But Link feels...it doesn't seem to be difficult to complete.

Just when Link was stunned, Mike Brin on the TV began to popularize again.

"As one of the most comprehensive players in NBA history, LeBron James has not completed the miracle of 50 points and triple-doubles in a single game in his career. In the 2009-10 season, he scored 43 points against the Nuggets. Points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists. In the 2005-06 season against the Celtics, he scored 43 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. He also achieved a 40+ triple-double in the playoffs in his career. A triple-double is always missed, something as strong as LeBron can’t do it.”

"The great Magic Johnson is also one of the most comprehensive players in NBA history, but he didn't even have a 40+ triple-double, he only had a 30+ triple-double in his career. And Michael Jordan's career also There are only two experiences of 40+ triple-doubles, which is far from 50+.”

James, Magic, Jordan... Seeing these names being left behind by him, Link felt a little dreamy.

Really, bullshit.

"There are 50+ triple-double winners in NBA history. There were four before that. They were Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Rich Galen in the 1960s and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1970s. . These four ancient mythical beasts do not have detailed 50+ triple-double statistics, the league only statistics that they have done it. Therefore, video evidence is nowhere to be found. In other words, the fans who watched the game last night were this The first fans on earth to witness a player get a 50+ triple-double in the NBA on live TV. What can I say? Link started out making Grizzlies history. But now, he's making it Alliance History!"

Watching Mike Brin's explanation on the TV, the stunned Link just kept mumbling a sentence in Chinese.

"This time the bull is bad...this time the bull is bad...this time the bull is bad..."
