Nine Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Twenty-One points...just

Klay Thompson's magical moments this season are actually no less than Curry's.

Last summer, after Thompson renewed his contract with the Warriors and signed a four-year maximum salary contract worth $70 million, his career as a governor seemed to be opened up.

At the beginning of this season, on November 2, 2014, in the game against the Lakers, Klay Thompson hit five three-pointers in a single game. While climbing to fifth place on the three-point shooting list in team history, he also achieved a career high. of 41 points. With his help, the Warriors beat the Lakers by a huge margin.

No one knew at that time that it was just the beginning of "Buddha's light shining everywhere".

On January 18, 2015, the Warriors challenged the Rockets away from home. Thompson played 31 minutes and scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 5 blocks, setting a career single-game block record. At the same time, he also became the first guard in the history of the Warriors to send 5 blocks in a single game since Baron Davis in 2007.

January 24, 2015, was definitely the highlight night of Thompson’s career. In the Warriors' home game against the Kings, Thompson made all 13 shots in the third quarter and scored 37 points, setting a new personal single-quarter scoring record in NBA history!

At the same time, he hit 9 three-pointers in a single quarter, which also set a new record for three-pointers in a single quarter in NBA history.

Thompson played 33 minutes in the game and made 16 of 25 shots, including 11 of 15 three-pointers and 9 of 10 free throws. He scored an outrageous 52 points!

Since then, the whole world has known Klay Thompson’s reputation.

This seemingly honest guy is an out-and-out playboy in life. On the court, he is a super scorer who kills without blinking an eye!

52 points in a single game is no joke. If Link hadn't scored 63 points in a single game this season, Thompson might have been the player with the highest score in a single game this season.

And Thompson's 37 points in a single quarter is a record that even Link has never touched.

Everyone knows that once Thompson feels hot, nothing grows.

Thompson's 4-for-4 shooting performance in the first quarter today is a sign that he is hot!

"Believe me, no one can stop Klay Thompson today, not even Link! We have fantasized countless times about who is stronger between Thompson and Link, who have a hot touch and compete on the same court. Today, everyone will get the answer!"

Mark Jackson on the commentary desk was extremely excited. The myth that Link can't be defeated will be broken by Thompson today!

In the past, even if the Grizzlies lost, Link's performance would definitely outperform the opposing players.

People say that Grizzly Bear may be defeated, but Link can never be surpassed.

But today, Mark Jackson and all Warriors fans believe that Thompson will disgrace Link!

After the start of the second quarter, the Grizzlies still did not change their defensive strategy.

Link also started to score more actively, and he hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up. Then, he deflected Green's underhand layup and gave the Warriors a 5-0 start.

The point difference was only 4 points. When Steve Kerr saw that the momentum was not right, he made a big move and replaced Klay Thompson in advance.

Before Thompson took the court, Kerr muttered next to him, "Destroy them!"

This may be the only coach in the league who dares to say in the second quarter that he will destroy the Grizzlies!

But Cole is not blindly confident. He knows that the angry Klay Thompson may be more terrifying than Link!

Taking advantage of the dead ball on the court, Thompson stepped onto the court.

He is unsmiling,

His eyes were fixed on Link.

Step over the bodies of the Warriors? Do not make jokes! Whether Link wants it or not, the Warriors will change the alliance!

As soon as Thompson came on the court, the entire Oracle Arena seemed to be shaken.

Cole stood confidently on the sidelines with his hands folded across his chest. Next, he just had to admire it.

The Warriors had one tactic in the second quarter - feed Thompson the ball!

On Thompson's first attack after returning, Green assisted Thompson and hit a three-pointer.

Thompson caught the ball in the right corner and shot, but Butler was a step slower, maybe half a second slower.

But half a second was enough for Thompson to put the ball into the basket.

After one round, Curry passed back to Thompson who followed up and scored another three-pointer!

Thompson has completely shot with confidence. He is not fearless at all now, and it doesn't matter whether there is a defense in front of him.

He catches and shoots, and he hits every shot.

"Block the pass, block their pass to Thompson!"

Seeing Thompson hit his second consecutive three-pointer, Link yelled at everyone. The Warriors are now feeding Thompson the ball, and all the Grizzlies can do is prevent Thompson from receiving the ball.

In the third time, Butler indeed completed the steal and assisted Link in a counterattack.

The Warriors now pass Thompson mindlessly as soon as they get the ball, which makes their passing intentions easy to judge.

But even after the Warriors made a mistake, Cole remained indifferent. Because he believes that in the face of Thompson's amazing touch, it doesn't matter how many mistakes he makes!

Sure enough, in the fourth round, Thompson scored again!

This time, Butler's steal was half a beat too slow, and he was only just shy of intercepting the basketball. You know, even if you know the opponent's passing target, you can't intercept the ball every time.

Even Link cannot guarantee a 100% steal rate.

Butler also lost his defensive position because of the steal. The steal failed, but it gave Thompson space to shoot.

Thompson received the basketball at 45° on the right side, watched Butler rush past him due to inertia, and then shot confidently.

Then, the sound of the basketball rubbing against the net pierced Link's ears.

"Fuck!" Link was speechless. Thompson had already scored 4 three-pointers in a row!

Butler's defense is already good, but it still doesn't work.

Cole smiled and said that one or two mistakes were not enough to prevent the grizzly bear from perishing!

After that, Joger switched to Link to defend Thompson. But now, when Thompson's touch reaches its highest value, even Link's defense is useless.

Link's steal rate is indeed higher than Butler's. After he switched defense, he intercepted three passes from the Warriors to Thompson and converted these steals into points.

But Thompson's shooting percentage has not decreased at all. He can now easily hit even against the defense!

Thompson scored 6 three-pointers in a row since his appearance in the second quarter. It was not until the 7th that he was defended by Link!

But there is no point in forcing Thompson to hit the iron at this time. His three-point shooting rate of 6 out of 7 in a single quarter has already created a miracle!

"Thompson won. Even after Link switched defenses, he still couldn't stop him from scoring! He made 6 three-pointers in a single quarter and only missed 1 in 7 three-point attempts! This is Klay Thompson, this is magic. The Golden State Warriors! What the Heat, Thunder and Spurs failed to do, the Warriors did! From today on, the era of the Memphis Grizzlies dominating the league is officially a thing of the past!"

Mark Jackson and the fans raised their arms and cheered together. After the electronic buzzer sounded, indicating the end of the second quarter, Thompson's score was fixed at 26 points, 26 points in a single quarter!

Throughout the quarter, Thompson made 10 of 13 shots and 6 of 7 three-pointers, scoring most of the Warriors' points in the second quarter.

Although the Warriors were caught with 6 turnovers in the second quarter, this did not affect their score of 65 points after halftime and walked into the locker room with a 21-point advantage!

Klay Thompson once again created a miracle. Of course, he is also very likely to completely defeat Link in this game!

When the intermission came, Link didn't leave immediately.

He stayed on the court, looked at Thompson's shooting percentage, looked at the surrounding stands, and looked at the point difference between the two teams.

Then, he walked back without saying a word.

Thompson naturally became the subject of an interview with reporters during halftime. He smiled happily when facing the camera, "Oracle Arena will not be easily captured. I just want to prove this! Even the Memphis Grizzlies, even last season MVP, don’t talk nonsense in this place!”

All Warriors fans were cheering and singing, and their mobile phones were flooded with news that Thompson defeated Link and the Grizzlies in just half a game.

Sitting on the sidelines, Gianna turned to look at her father with a worried look on her face. She was simply shocked.

She never expected that Link and his team would lose like this.

"What's wrong with you?" Kobe looked at his daughter and spread his hands. His expression was very relaxed, neither ecstatic nor too anxious.

"Didn't you see? Link and the others are 21 points behind! I don't like this result!" Jaina lowered her head in grievance.

"Then why are you downcast?"

"Because they trailed by 21 points at halftime, because Klay Thompson is completely unstoppable!" Gianna was a little angry. She thought Kobe was teasing her on purpose.

"So what? That's Link. It seems that you don't know your Chinese teacher well enough. What did I say about him before?"

"You said that, like you, he is one of the greatest players in history." Gianna answered honestly.

"Yes, great athletes will not be knocked down so easily. Look, the game is not over yet."

After Kobe finished speaking, he leaned back easily and looked at the big screen.

21 points? What a fart!

The Warriors allowed the Grizzlies to steal too many times in the second quarter, but Link was not fooled. It was his diligent defense and command that caused the Warriors' 6 turnovers in a single quarter.

If it weren't for these 6 mistakes, the Grizzlies might even be 30 points behind.

Link never lost, he kept resisting. And what about the Warriors? They were indifferent to those mistakes. .

Kobe believes that in the second half, the Warriors will regret their arrogance and laxity!

Leading by 21 points and want to win? That's fucking Link!
