885: Do you believe the record I broke by the way? (4/5)
It wasn't until the electronic beep sounded that Link's murderous expression finally subsided.
Link stood still, panting and his chest heaving violently.
In the past five minutes, Link didn't feel tired at all.
He has only one belief in his heart - score, score, score!
It was only now, when it was all over, that a sense of exhaustion poured into Link's body.
"Win, we win!" Gasol was the first to rush up and hug Link, very excited.
Link's scoring performance in overtime, not to mention Popovich and Spurs fans, even everyone on the Grizzlies was stunned!
It's not the first time Link has burst out suddenly, but it's amazing how much power can burst out in a desperate situation.
Subsequently, more and more Grizzlies players came up and surrounded Link in the middle.
In the midst of the celebration, Link faintly heard someone shouting "You've broken another record, broken another record!" ”
"What!?" Link looked confused, what does it mean to break another record?
It wasn't until later in an interview that Link knew that his 17 points today were the highest personal scoring record in overtime in NBA history!
These unpopular historical records, if not mentioned by the commentators, no one would have thought of them at all.
Perhaps Chamberlain's 100 wins in a single game and the Grizzlies' 74 wins in a single season are well known.
But no one checks the record of the highest score in overtime every day, and who has nothing to do with it every day.
So, Link didn't know that 17 points was a record-breaking score.
"Link, another league record. Tell me, what does it feel like to break league records in a row? ”
"If I knew I would have made a three-pointer at the end, I would have scored one more point...... "Link muttered quietly, regretful.
While Link doesn't deliberately pursue data and records, he is quite willing to try it when there is an opportunity to improve historical data.
"What did you say?" The reporter tilted his head, and Link came back to his senses.
"Uh...... I mean, thanks to the San Antonio Spurs, if they hadn't been able to finish the game in regulation time, I wouldn't have had a chance to break the record. Well, that's it. ”
Link's answer was full of sarcasm, yes, the Grizzlies shot like this today, and the Spurs couldn't finish the game.
If you don't take the opportunity you want, then don't blame me for seizing my own opportunity.
Link's answer made countless Spurs fans waiting in front of the TV gnash their teeth, forget it if you lose, and be verbally humiliated by that guy, it's a double shame!
Knowing that he had scored a triple-double for the eighth consecutive game and broke the overtime scoring record by the way, Link's mood was instantly too good.
Unexpected joy is the easiest thing to make people happy.
Even if a few thousand yuan was paid on the day of the salary, the joy was not as strong as the unexpected fifty yuan from the pocket of the clothes that had just been dried.
Link was originally just trying to win today, but unexpectedly left his name on another league record.
This joy is simply self-evident.
So much so that at the press conference afterward, Link, who was in a good mood, also played well and talked a lot.
"As I said, my goal is just to win. The record of the highest personal score in overtime is only taken in passing and is not worth mentioning. ”
"What's it like to get your eighth triple-double in a row and leave Jordan and Robertson behind? I don't feel anything, it's the same as yesterday. Because, soon that number will be nine. When the time comes, don't ask me what it's like to get a triple-double for the ninth game in a row. ”
"How to rate Danny. Green's three-pointer? I don't know, did he score a three-pointer in my head? No, so I can't comment at all. ”
The entire press conference turned into a large-scale pretending scene for Link.
Bird, Wade, Jordan and other generations of forced kings, after watching this press conference, it is estimated that they will have to bow down.
Link is so shameless when he speaks!
A lot of local reporters in San Antonio can't listen anymore, but they can't help it, they have to listen if they can't stop!
Who made Link the winner?
In the world of competitive sports, the winner's fart is fragrant.
Finally, a reporter asked Link and Bill. Simmons, "Link, Beal. Simmons said before the game that even if you get praise from Jordan, it doesn't mean that you are really close to Jordan. But after the race, you broke the record right away. How would you rate Simmons? ”
"Old Bill? Oh my God, I thought he had been fired because I hadn't heard his funny remarks in a long time. I love his jokes, like this one, and the jokes he says are just as hilarious. ”
"Uh...... Bill. Simmons is not a joke, he's a columnist for ESPN. The reporter who asked the question didn't hear that Link was mocking, so he seriously reminded Link of Simmons' identity.
This anti-cuteness created a stronger comedic effect, which caused some of the reporters present to laugh out loud.
Link saw that this reporter was so "honest", so he also calculated, "Really!?" Oh my God, Bill is an ESPN columnist, so how did he say those things that didn't make sense? Is ESPN so short of columnists? If Bill doesn't understand basketball, he's going to listen to the advice of a professional player. For example, Michael. Jordan. Jordan said that Link is good, you just write it, don't BB anything else. Remember, don't go against Jordan next time. ”
After Link's words, he winked at the reporters.
Bill watching the live broadcast. Simmons nearly blew the monitor with a punch, and if it weren't for the fear of hurting his hand, he might have done that.
Michael. Jordan's praise for Link was all reflected in tonight's game.
Bill. Simmons's rebuttal, in the face of Link's actual actions, seemed comical and unreasonable.
On the Internet, countless fans have begun to criticize Simmons for his unreliable statements.
This time, Link estimated that it would be a long time before Simmons could not be heard.
After a bittersweet night, Link was finally able to relax.
After this game, the Grizzlies will get a day of respite. The day after tomorrow, on December 19, the Grizzlies will play the Bulls at home.
That game shouldn't cause too much trouble for the Grizzlies, though.
The Bulls' 16-9 record so far this season can't be said to be bad, but with Rose playing stop-and-go, the Bulls are really not a strong team.
This kind of opponent will not give people too heavy a psychological burden.
Link was contented on the hotel bed, ready to fall asleep, only to be woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone.
"Link, played well tonight, congratulations! I didn't mean to disturb your rest, but...... Where's your canvassing video!? "On the phone, I came to Jeff. Austin's anxious voice.
"Huh? What the heck? Link looked confused, canvassing? I didn't participate in the talent show.
"All-Star Voting Canvassing Video! Stephen. Curry and LeBron. James has posted them all, and the video is not low in views, they are menacing this year! Especially Curry, he is simply the new popular king of the West this year! The results of the first round of voting will come out tomorrow, you don't want to fall behind, do you? You are the king of votes, and you must be the king of votes! ”
"Oh, All-Star......" Link shook his head, the Grizzlies have been playing so hard lately that he's forgotten about the All-Star vote.
The identity of the All-Star ticket king is still quite important to Link.
The ticket king itself is not a small honor, and the ticket king also means greater commercial value.
Link tasted all these sweetness last year. Naturally, no one wants to lose the benefits that have already been obtained.
But...... Is it really necessary to canvass for votes?
Link smiled, "It's okay Jeff, I'm sure what I've done recently has been more effective than canvassing videos." Needless to say, I'm too sleepy today, let's see the results tomorrow. ”
Link shrugged his shoulders, isn't he the king of tickets, isn't that just a gift if he plays well in the game?
