845: It's not Houston's turn to speak

All the fans inside the Toyota Center covered their heads with their hands, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

After Link blew out the gunsmoke, he was immediately killed by Tony. Aaron took him into his arms. Then more and more Grizzlies players rushed up and surrounded Link.

"3+1, you're really a tooth for a tooth, Link!" Tony. Allen smiled, he was touched by Harden all night, and he finally waited for Harden to be touched.

"We're going to have a seven-point lead in the last minute, and we're going to win!" Conley was also very excited, and he was suppressed by Beverley for a whole game today, and finally raised his eyebrows.

On the bench, almost all Grizzlies players also stood up to cheer and yell for Link. Even the old Carter was so excited that he didn't have the composure of a veteran at all.

In the face of that wonderful four-pointer, the cheers are over, what do you want to be calm.

After celebrating with his teammates, Carter and his teammates looked at Howard and Harden.

I saw both of them hanging their heads, their hands on their hips, and all the frustration was written on their faces.

Both of them scored 30+ points today, and they both showed their best form, but it was precisely this that hit people the most.

Even if they tried their best, they still couldn't shake the Grizzlies' dominance of the game.

Their best efforts are worthless in front of Link!

Eventually, the referees had to step in to remind the Grizzlies that the game was still going on. Otherwise, God knows how long this group of guys will celebrate.

Link broke free from the crowd and stepped onto the free-throw line.

In front of the basket, Link looked up at the Rockets players and fans in the stands.

Without exception, they all wore disappointment, horror and disbelief on their faces.

Link smiled contentedly, Houston Rockets, go to hell!

After receiving a pass from the referee, Link took a deep breath and slapped the basketball.

At the scene, the fans at the Toyota Center even forgot to boo to interfere. Amid a few sporadic boos, Link made a free throw.

The basketball did not go directly into the net, but hit the neck of the basket first.

As it turned out, back-to-back, high-intensity battles still affected Link's shooting somewhat. Tired, he can't control his shooting well, and God knows how Link has persevered until now.

But in the end, the basketball still bounced into the net. Although Link is tired, his shooting is more than outrageous.

60 points, Link in the fifth year of his career, finally squeezed into the 60 points club!

Jeff. Van Gundy immediately flipped through the historical record, and in the history of the NBA, there are actually not many stars who can score more than 60 points in a single game.

But to be able to do it so early like Link is very rare.

It took James 11 seasons and Kobe Bryant 10 seasons to complete such a miracle as 60 points in a single game, and it was not until the ninth year of his career that he did so.

Link, on the other hand, scored 60 points in a single game in his fifth year of career.

Although there are not one or two stars who can score more than 60 points in a single game, it does not mean that this record can be broken if you want to. Because those who can score 60 points in a single game are almost all historical superstars.

Michael. Jordan, Carl. Malone, George. McCann, David. Robinson, Pete. Malanovic, Allen. Iverson......

Ordinary stars can't get to the edge of this record at all.

If nothing else, let's take the scoring maniac Durant as an example. He has been working hard in the league for seven years, let alone 60 points, and even Link's last scoring record of 55 points is beyond his reach.

In other words, to be able to join a club with 60 points in a single game is to establish a player's place in history!

And Jeff. Van Gundy even believes that this won't be the last time Link will do it!

"It was a great night, a night that was totally Link's. 60 points in a single game, Link is now with Michael. Jordan, Jerry. West, Carl. Great stars such as Malone were put together. From now on, there will be another Link name in the great list of 60 points in a single game! ”

After Van Gundy finished speaking, he looked at the Houston commentator next to him, who had been showing off his might and shouting that the Rockets would win.

The guy was just covering his forehead now, and he couldn't say a word.

And he is just a microcosm of the heart of the Houstonians at this time.

All of Houston was subdued by Link.

After Link scored 60 points, the Houston Rockets trailed by seven points in the final 1 minute.

McHale called a timeout, but he didn't know what to do. It was as if he was back in the 80s, back to Larry. The period during which Byrd ruled the Union.

Once, McHale served as Larry. Bird's teammates have seen the opposing coach anxious on more than one occasion. Because no matter what the other side does, they can't stop Bird from wreaking havoc on the court.

Now, once again, McHale is feeling that way. Only this time, he is no longer a teammate of the great superstar, he has become the helpless coach himself.

Link's 60th point completely crushed the Rockets' ego-esteem, and this timeout was in addition to allowing Jeff. Van Gundy didn't do anything other than having time to show the fans how great Link's 60 points were.

After the game restarted, Howard and Harden's first pick-and-roll combination didn't come out. Tony. Allen's superb skills to get rid of the cover allowed him to interfere with Harden's three-point shot for the first time.

Harden continued to hit iron at critical moments, which completely ruined the Rockets' victory.

Therefore, the difference in key ball ability between stars can often determine the outcome of a game.

The moment Harden hit the iron, the whole of Houston fell silent. Although there are dozens of seconds left in the game, everyone knows that Houston has inevitably fallen again.

The Rockets have given up on the game, but Link hasn't given up yet. In his opinion, a 7-point difference is not enough insurance.

So, while the Rockets players have started to paddle on the court, Link, who only rested for three minutes today, is still actively running. The gap between the two sides' desire to win can be seen.

Eventually, Link got a three-point shot in the bottom right corner.

So after continuing the 3+1 just now, Link hit a three-point shot again, and at the last moment of the game, Link's shooting was as if he had a shooting percentage bonus, which was completely different from Harden.

After that three-pointer, Link turned his career-high to 63 points.

And the difference between the two sides in this game has also become 10 points.

Link finally relaxed at that moment, and at this point, he believed that the Rockets had no hope of overtaking the score.

In the end, the 10-point difference was fixed at the end of the game. In the last few tens of seconds, the Rockets did not organize any effective counterattacks, and the Grizzlies did not let the opponent close the difference.

118-108, the Memphis Grizzlies won a difficult victory on the road and maintained an undefeated record! At the same time, it also ended the Houston Rockets' six-game winning streak, breaking the dream of Howard and Harden to create the best start record in team history!!

In addition to Link's 63 points in this game, the Grizzlies also set a record. That's the first team in NBA history to score double-digit net points in every game and start a seven-game winning streak!

When Randolph and Iguodala fell, it was said that the Memphis dynasty was about to fall.

And today, Link told you with practical actions, "As long as I'm here, you don't want to get rid of the rule of the grizzly bear!" ”

Harden and Howard lost their home courts, and there were no excuses for losing.

Today, the Rockets have a full lineup, with both Harden and Howard performing well. In other words, it's the best the Rockets can play at this stage.

However, the Rockets, who were at their best, ran into the Grizzlies and still couldn't win.

In an instant, the finals seemed to be particularly distant to them. After all, everyone knows that if a Western team wants to reach the Finals, it must pass the Grizzlies first no matter what.

McHale looked at the score on the big screen and sighed in disappointment. The Rockets are indeed one of the best teams in the West right now, but alas, they have met the greatest players of their era.

The disillusioned McHale and the Rockets walked off the court, and although this was their home court, they were not entitled to stay on the court as losers.

Link, who had 63 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, stood on the sidelines, and the ESPN reporter smiled and stretched out the topic, "Link, how do you feel?" You've broken the Toyota Center's record for the highest score, and you've also broken the record for the highest score in your own career. I'm sure you must be very excited, right? ”

Link scratched his head, very calmly, as if his score was 23 instead of 63 today.

"The excitement is a little bit exciting, but not because of 63 points, it's not because of seven wins in a row. It's because I've finally put the Houstonians to a halt to that unrealistic fantasy. Even if the alliance were to change dynasties, it would not be Houston's turn to speak. ”

Link finished speaking, tapping his finger on the lens of the camera.

The Houston commentator slammed back into his chair and closed his eyes as if dead.
