1168:Triple-double on the same team (2/5)
Stephen. Curry's performance today was outstanding, and the 3+1 just now made Conley helpless.
Curry borrowed Green's cover to go around to the other side and shoot directly without a steady footing.
Conley knows that if Curry is allowed to shoot like this, the probability of the opponent scoring is very high. So, he pounced without reservation.
As a result, he hit Curry's shooting hand solidly. Curry's shot, however, still jumped into the net as if it had not been disturbed in any way.
Three-point shooting has to be added to the free throw, and Curry is unceremonious.
"Beautiful goal, Stephen. Curry is an out-and-out killer! Although he and Link don't seem to have any personal conflicts, I believe that his desire to win is no less than that of Durant and Green! ”
Kevin. While complimenting Curry, Harlan found Mike next to him. Brin was staring at the data sheet in a daze.
After that, the Grizzlies traded Link, Jokic and Gasol, and Curriga hit a free throw.
Until this time, Mike. Brin finally spoke.
"Kevin, did you find anything special about the Grizzlies' stats today?"
"Huh?" Kevin. Harlan was confused, the game was so anxious now, it didn't seem like the time to talk about data.
What's more, the Grizzlies' stats aren't anything special.
"If you look at the stats of Link and Jokic, Link has 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Jokic had 21 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. ”
"This ......" listens to Mike. As soon as Brin said this, Kevin. Harlan's eyes widened, too.
"That's right, today, the Grizzlies will have a good chance of having two players with triple-doubles! I've just checked that in the history of the NBA playoffs, there has never been a game where two people on a team have a triple-double at the same time! ”
After finding out the secret in the Grizzlies' data sheet, Mike. Brin smirked.
In fact, even if you expand the scope of "two players on a team with a triple-double" from playoff history to the entire NBA history, it has only happened seven times.
The last time this happened was 10 years ago in 2007!
At that time, Carter and Kidd, who were still on the Nets, contributed 46 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists and 10 points, 16 rebounds and 18 assists respectively.
While Carter is still playing and playing for the Grizzlies, Kidd has retired as a coach.
In other words, no combination of active players has ever achieved the feat of hitting a triple-double on the same team on the same field.
And in the history of the playoffs, no other combination has ever done that.
Today, Link and Jokic will have a good chance of breaking that record!
"As you remind, the Grizzlies do have a good chance of winning another brand new record today! But now is not the time to think about the historical record, after all, the Warriors are biting very hard. If you lose the game, it doesn't make sense to take the history. ”
Kevin. Harlan pointed to the score on the big screen, and the Warriors narrowed the gap to five points in one go. 5 points, which is far from enough to guarantee a win for the Grizzlies.
"Of course, but that's why Link and Jokic are more likely to break the record." Mike. Brin smiled, and now there is no reason for Link and Jokic to rest early.
The Warriors are on the lookout, whether it's Jokic, Link or Gasol, and now they are not objects to be put casually.
Durant is on a tight nerve right now, and he can't relax even when Link isn't holding the ball.
Curry's 3+1 has already filled the Warriors with the belief of winning. Therefore, the Warriors' defense in this round is watertight!
Eventually, Gasol's shot was disrupted by Green in time and missed the mark.
Grizzlies offense misses!
Just when all the Warriors players thought everything was fine, Jokic stuck McGee in advance and grabbed the offensive rebound in his arms.
It's hard to defend once, but the opponent catches an offensive rebound, which is a very demoralizing thing.
The momentum that the Warriors players finally brought up was leaked a lot in an instant.
After Jokic won the rebound, the angry McGee hurriedly posted it and gave Jokic a very rough confrontation.
Jokic was slammed by McGee before he landed steadily, so naturally he couldn't control his center of gravity and walked towards the bottom line.
Seeing that Jokic, who had lost his center of gravity, was about to step out of the baseline, he held up the basketball with one hand, turned around and passed the ball before he fell.
Faced with this situation, the average center forward can still pass the ball back, thank God.
But Jokic not only passed the ball back, but also found Link with precision to cut to the basket!
By the time McGee turned around, Link was already gliding through the air.
In the next second, Link hung his hands on the frame, and the reporter area of the bottom line ushered in a giant five-flowered Taishan top.
Jokic sent another wonderful pass to assist, and the Grizzlies also stabilized their position again!
Now, Jokic got his 8th assist and 9th rebound of the game! Keep up your efforts, boy, you're not far from breaking the record! ”
After Link scored, he rushed to the baseline and pulled Jokic up.
People say that the Spurs are an evergreen ivy and that their replacement and rebuilding can be completed unconsciously.
Now, however, the Grizzlies are more of an Ivy League.
In Butler and Whiteside and others left, in Gasol, Conley, Randolph and Tony. Aaron and the others are getting old now.
Link's right-hand man, but he was also born unconsciously.
Yes, it's only been a year since the Grizzly Bear last established a dynasty.
It will take decades or more for most teams to rebuild this glory.
But in just one year, the Grizzly Bear has quietly completed the rebuild!
After that, Durant's turnaround jumper was seriously interfered with by Link and missed. Jokic grabbed the rebound again, and the number of rebounds has reached double figures!
After getting the rebound, he handed the ball to Link, who held the ball and advanced quickly, as if he wanted to make this counterattack himself.
However, after Link burst into the Warriors' three-point line, he suddenly threw the ball high and completed a "Lynway connection".
Wade received a basketball empty dunk, and Wade, who ended the painful period, can also take off at any time. This has been proven in the previous two rounds.
The point difference returned to 9 points again, and Curry's 3+1 just now did not change anything in the end.
Link is firmly in control of the situation on the field, this is the Federal Express Arena, this is Link's territory!
Of course, he also got another assist. It seems that the Grizzlies are really close to breaking the record!
Eventually, the game returned to the rhythm of the first three quarters.
Both, the Warriors desperately chased the points, and they did play a good offense, but they just didn't see the score difference narrow!
And on the Grizzly Bear's side, it is already equivalent to a three-core operation!
Conley, Link and Jokic, all three of whom have excellent playmaking skills, allowed the Grizzlies' offense to show no signs of pulling their hips into the fourth quarter.
In the last 58 seconds of the fourth quarter, when Link grabbed an offensive rebound from Green's head and forced a foul on Green, Link's rebounds officially reached double digits!
So far, Link has 31 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, while Jokic has 25 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
The first combination in the history of the NBA playoffs that can hit a triple-double at the same time on the same court and team is officially born!
"Breaking the record, the Memphis Grizzlies have broken the league record again! Hahahaha, I even have some doubts that if this continues, the Grizzlies will break all the records in the history of the league! It's incredible that two players from the same team can hit a triple-double in a game at the same time! You know, this is the most intense Western Conference Finals! ”
Mike. Bryn, like the fans in attendance, was in complete frenzy.
And on the court, the Warriors players also hung their heads from the pride of the whole game.
If Link hits both free throws, the Grizzlies will have a 15-point lead!
To chase 15 points in less than a minute, it has to be said that it is an almost impossible task even for the defending champion Warriors.
35.13 minutes? That kind of case doesn't tell the whole story.
Link hugged Jokic and then stepped up to the free throw line.
Before executing the free throw, Link glanced at Durant with a smile on his lips.
"Welcome to my time, Kevin!"
Durant only felt a shock in his heart, and the last thing he wanted to see happened.
