Nine Hundred and Forty-Five: The New God of Alliance

Link had 53 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Klay Thompson had 49 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Just looking at the statistics and the anxious score, some people must have thought that this was a scoring battle between Link and Thompson, a life-and-death showdown. As for Thompson, he just lost to Link.

But in fact, the two of them didn't feel like they were "fighting each other" at all today. Although Thompson's statistics are very good, fans who have watched the game have a feeling-Thompson was completely blown away.

In fact, in terms of scoring, Thompson is not much worse than Link. He also scored nearly 50 points, and his performance was not bad.

Moreover, Thompson's shooting percentage is higher than Link.

But the reason why people think Thompson was completely defeated is mainly because at the critical moment, Link's performance completely defeated Thompson.

Fans are always most impressed by the critical moments of a game. Even if a player performs well before, he will be forgotten once he disappears at the critical moment.

Thompson's outstanding performance was mainly concentrated in the first half, but his superb performance in the first half did not kill the Grizzlies.

There is no doubt that fans will remember the player who killed the game more deeply.

Less than half an hour after the game ended, the whole world went crazy.

The video of Link drifting back to kill the game at the last moment has seen an exponential increase in views!

In China, early in the morning, people suddenly shouted in countless classrooms and offices.

Almost all sports TV stations were broadcasting Link's winning goal.

Reversed 21 points, defeated another opponent with a magical performance, and firmly ranked first in the Western Conference...

Link's killing blow really meant too much. It can be said that everyone except Warriors fans will cheer for this elegant goal.

After the game, when Link finished the interview and returned to the locker room, he was "attacked by cake" by his teammates.

This big cake was originally bought secretly by Iguodala to celebrate the Grizzlies winning first place in the Western Conference.

It's good now, the whole thing has been put on Link's head, and used to celebrate Link's victory.

Link and his teammates had been fooling around in the visiting team's locker room at Oracle Arena for a long time, until everyone was exhausted and finally stopped.

Of course, the visiting team's locker room at Oracle Arena was already in a mess.

"I'm exhausted, pause, pause..." Link laughed while wearing rough clothes and sat in front of his locker.

"Truce, truce, damn, I didn't even get a bite of this cake." Iguodala also slumped in his chair.

At this point, no one on the Grizzlies is clean.

From players to coaches, everyone has "bullet marks" left by the cream. In the fierce cake fight just now, no one was spared.

"Hey, today's game is really exciting, isn't it?" Link finally stopped breathing after resting for a few seconds.

"Being behind by 21 points, I fought back and completed the buzzer beater. God, I never thought I would play a game like this in my life." Iguodala shook his head, recalling everything that had just ended, he still I feel incredible.

"This is all because of you, Link. Without you, we might be finished now." Jimmy Butler still has some lingering fears. If the Grizzlies lose today, he will definitely be criticized by the fans and media for allowing Thompson to score 49 points. "Meeting".

"No, it's because of everyone. Everyone, after falling behind by 21 points, performed very tenaciously, thank you! I said,

The feeling of destroying the other person's good wishes is actually quite enjoyable. Do you feel it today? "Link looked around at his teammates.

"Well...it's really fun to be a villain." Gasol replied with a silly smile.

"Today, we successfully won the first place in the Western Conference. But this is not our ultimate goal. This summer, when we win the third championship trophy... it will definitely feel better than now!"

Link stood up, and the teammates beside him also showed eager expressions.

This group of bandits couldn't hold it any longer.

Retaining first place in the Western Conference is just a warning to the entire league from the Grizzlies.

The real robbery is yet to come!

※※※

April 14, the day after the game between the Grizzlies and Warriors.

Although last night's game and the final victory have been discussed for a long time, today, the popularity of this game has not decreased at all.

The picture of Link's successful game is still being played continuously, and the miracle of his final data surpassing Thompson's is still being talked about.

The battle between the Grizzlies and the Warriors seemed like a preview of the playoffs for fans.

Now, everyone is looking forward to the exciting performances in the playoffs.

And, Bill Simmons’ bald look!

Although the Player of the Month award in April will not be announced until the day before the playoffs start, almost everyone believes that Link can win this award for the sixth consecutive time, becoming the first and only player in NBA history to win all the awards in a single season. Player of the Month Award for Six Months!

Link's personal data in April is still unmatched, and the Grizzlies' record is also outstanding. After experiencing 53 points in a single game last night, a 21-point reversal, 11 points in 1 minute and a buzzer beater in 1.8 seconds, people have a better impression of Link.

Some fans even believe that Link is fully worthy of the title of Best of the Month just based on his game last night.

Bill Simmons was sitting at home, stroking his hair and watching the replay of Link's winning game on the TV.

Simmons doesn't feel upset now, but rather struggling.

This reaction was somewhat beyond his own expectations.

Because, even he had to admit that Link's game last night was really exciting!

On the one hand, it is very likely that he will be embarrassed in front of people all over the country and even the world.

But on the other hand, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Link played really well in yesterday's game!

Trailing by 21 points, don’t back down or give up. Even if he was 9 points behind in the last minute, Link still chose to face the difficulties...

At first, Simmons hated Link because he hated the media for praising Link too highly and always saying that he surpassed Kobe and caught up with Jordan.

In addition, Link is a bastard himself, who curses people all the time, which makes Simmons even more repelled.

But now, Simmons discovered that Link was really not praised by the media.

Taking yesterday's game as an example, it was really hard for Simmons to deny Link's greatness.

Moreover, if Link really becomes the first player in NBA history to win all the best players of the month in a single season, then Simmons will be even more impressed.

He knows better than anyone how fierce the competition in the Western Conference is. The Western Conference Player of the Month every month has no water at all. He is definitely the best among the superstars.

And winning this award six times in a row is enough to prove a player's strength.

In the past, Simmons believed that winning the best six months in a single season was something that only God could do. So now, what else is there to say?

Bill Simmons smiled. He really didn't expect that he would react like this.

He really didn't expect that he would actually admire Link.

As he said before, this was his last bet with Link. Because now, he has fully recognized Link's greatness!

Simmons smiled, then turned off the TV and called ESPN.

"Hey, aren't you going to arrange a barber and barber chair for me on site?"

That afternoon, Bill Simmons also posted an update on his social media, a simple sentence.

"We hate Link, but we also love Link."

A new "God of the Alliance" has been born in Simmons' heart.
