Nine Hundred and Sixty-Four: The First Person with Five X Five Statistics in the Playoffs (Three/Five)

Every fan in FedEx Arena was cheering.

No matter men, women, young or old, everyone unleashed their passion.

Because until the fourth quarter of the game, the Grizzlies have firmly controlled the initiative.

Throughout the game so far, the Grizzlies have not given the Warriors any chance. The Warriors neither played the league's best offense nor the defense they were proud of.

From the first quarter, the Grizzlies have stabilized the situation until now. During this period, Curry and Thompson tried to take over the game many times.

However, the successive strikes and the inconsistency of goals made it impossible for them to close the point difference.

Neither side scored high today, but the Grizzlies were able to maintain the lead.

The Grizzlies' excellent defense and the Warriors' poor shooting percentage are on the one hand, but on the other hand, the reason why the Warriors have been unable to take the lead is because of Link's truly MVP-level performance!

At this time, it was the Warriors' offensive round, and "Brazilian Lightning" Leandro Barbosa was controlling the ball.

In the previous round, Barbosa used his speed to hit the basket for a layup, narrowing the point difference to 11 points.

If he scores another goal, he can help the Warriors reduce the point difference to single digits before the main lineup returns!

In this regard, Barbosa is full of confidence. Whiteside, who is guarding the Grizzlies inside at this time, is tall, but Barbosa believes that as long as he is fast enough, he can avoid the behemoth's blockage!

The battle-hardened Brazilian waved his hand and called Speights to come cover.

Speights is a center with shooting ability, and Whiteside doesn't dare to let him go even half a step. When he was with the Grizzlies, Speights' shooting ability was already very good.

Now that he has joined the shooting-focused Warriors, Speights' shooting stability has been further improved.

In the third quarter that just ended, he had already made two half-shot baskets due to Whiteside's negligence. Therefore, now Whiteside does not dare to give Speights a chance to start shooting.

Whiteside was moved out of the penalty area, and for Barbosa, everything was much easier!

He pretended to break through to the unprotected side. After Dellavedova shifted his center of gravity, the Brazilian used an extremely fast forward change of direction and whizzed past Speights!

Although he is no longer young, Barbosa's speed is still amazing.

Seeing that he was shaken away, Dellavedova simply bypassed the screen from behind Speights, intending to cover directly to the basket to prevent Barbosa from making a layup.

It has to be said that Dellavedova is somewhat foolhardy. He is indeed active enough, but his thinking on the defensive end is not so delicate.

Seeing that Dellavedova actually let him go so far away, Barbosa did not hesitate and chose to make a pull-up jumper!

Barbosa has always been a reliable shooting guard. At his peak, he averaged 44% of his three-point field goals per game! Emergency stop mid-range shots are no problem for him.

Dellavedova knew he had made a big mistake, but it was too late to block it. Unless he's lightning fast, there's no way he can shoot faster than Barbosa.

Off the court, Steve Kerr had already waved his fist in advance.

As long as Barbosa can reduce the point difference to single digits, then it is not impossible for the Warriors to turn defeat into victory if they send in the main lineup later!

It's true that Dellavedova isn't lightning fast, but there are others on the Grizzlies' roster who can.

Barbosa takes his shots calmly and has a very good feel for his shot. He had a hunch that the ball would hit the net stably!

But as soon as the basketball flew into the air, the Brazilian saw a black shadow coming from the side. In the air, he used a smashing gesture in a volleyball game and slapped the basketball he had just thrown away!

"Bang!"

The basketball made a muffled sound in the air and was ejected into the stands like a cannonball.

Afterwards, the guy who completed the block landed firmly on the ground, and because of the buffer, he bent his knees and squatted on the ground.

The moment the man landed, Barbosa seemed to feel the wooden floor beneath his feet shake.

The Brazilian was completely stunned. He would never forget the number printed on the Grizzlies jersey, that 0...

"Link, it's him again, he once again stopped the Warriors' attempt to narrow the point difference to single digits! God, he was really everywhere today. Barbosa has obviously completely shaken Dellavedova. , he did get a chance to shoot. But who would have thought that Link could catch up immediately! The fifth block, this is the fifth block that Link has given today, and at the same time, this also means With..."

After saying this, Mike Brin paused and glanced at the information in his hand. After confirming that it was correct, he continued yelling into the microphone.

"This also means that Link has become the first player in NBA history to contribute 5X5 data in the playoffs!"

After yelling, Mike Brin himself swallowed his saliva. Link really didn't lie. He "satisfied" Warriors fans in this game and produced beautiful statistics.

Not just beautiful statistics, Link simply broke a data record in the playoffs! Moreover, it is still a record that is very difficult to break!

5X5 data means that in a single game, each of the five data points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks of a player reaches 5 times or more.

At first glance, this may not seem like much.

More than 5 points, rebounds and assists are not difficult in the eyes of the fans. Although it is very difficult to steal and block more than 5 times in a single game, there are also a lot of people who have done it.

But if a player is required to meet all five data exceeding 5 in a single game, it would be very harsh.

In fact, since the league officially introduced detailed statistics in the 1985-86 season, there have only been 15 times in NBA history where players have played 5X5 data!

Don't get me wrong, just because this has happened 15 times in history doesn't mean that 15 players have done it.

Because Rockets legendary center Hakeem Olajuwon alone accounted for 6 of them. In addition to him, there are other players who scored 5X5 data more than once.

In other words, there are only 8 players in history who can do this kind of thing!

From the 1985-86 season to the current 14-15 season, there have been so many outstanding players over so many years, but only 8 of them can get 5X5 data.

And these 8 people do not include Jordan, James, Kobe, Duncan, Iverson, O'Neal, Barkley and other great superstars.

It can be seen that it is very difficult to achieve 5X5 data in a game.

All the previous stars who achieved 5X5 statistics achieved this achievement in the regular season.

No one has ever been able to do this in playoff history. Even Olajuwon, who has scored 5X5 data 6 times, has never performed such an exaggerated performance in the playoffs.

Wade scored 36 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks in the 2006 Finals.

Howard also scored 17 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks in the second game of the Finals against the Lakers that year.

But whether it is Wade or Howard, they are only close to this record at best.

But today, Link successfully filled all five of his statistics to 5, becoming the first person in the playoffs to hit 5X5 statistics in a single game!

Precisely because this thing was so unbelievable, Mike Brin paused just now and only dared to yell after confirming that it was correct.

Even he couldn't believe that Link actually broke this record! In the playoffs, and even in the fierce Western Conference finals, he scored 5X5 data...

Link really has something for everyone.

After Steve Kerr saw Barbosa's shot missed, the fist he was about to swing lowered again.

Link blocked Barbosa's almost-certain shot, prevented the Warriors from closing to single digits, and broke a playoff record...

It’s really heartbreaking.

In despair, Cole waved his hand and signaled the main players to take advantage of this dead ball opportunity to come out.

But at this time, he no longer had any expectations for a comeback and victory.

Seeing Green and Bogut come on stage, Link pointed to the big screen at them.

The two of them looked up and saw only a series of numbers.

28 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals and a fresh 5 blocks... This string of numbers made the entire Warriors team feel desperate.

Seeing the frustrated expressions of Green and Bogut, Link walked up to them with his hands on his hips and smiled at them.

"I warned you a long time ago, don't be so confident."

Bogut and Green did not respond this time. They both knew that they were unable to reverse the situation today.

The game is still going on, but the Golden State Warriors' first game of the Western Conference Finals has ended early.
