416: Private number
With four fouls early on the line, Anthony scored just 20 points by the time he reached the final 1:32 of the fourth quarter.
He scored 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting and 50 percent shooting. Truth be told, that's already a pretty good statistic. But such a performance and the expected Cameron. Anthony, clearly and seriously inconsistent. The performance of the King of New York today can hardly be called excellent.
Although there was still more than a minute to go in the game, Mike. Woodson beckoned and swapped his top card.
Anthony hung his head, without the all-encompassing pride he had when he first got off the plane. There was no need for him to play again because the game was already over early.
To be exact, after the third quarter, the game was over.
In the third quarter, Link started the game with a wave of 5-0. Then, the Grizzlies went from strength to strength, with Link scoring 13 points in a single quarter, while the impatient Knicks scored nothing but fouls and technical fouls.
At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies went on a 19-1 spurt. In the end, with a score of 85-64, it entered the fourth quarter of the decisive battle.
The 20-point margin gives the Memphis Grizzlies peace of mind. So much so that Young Marshal Stevens did not let Link play again throughout the fourth quarter.
Grizzlies fans are no stranger to such a scene. So far this season, many games of the Grizzlies have been taken away in a wave in the third quarter, and then Link played on the bench in the fourth quarter.
One moment stealing a banana, the other playing a game of bottle toss with Randolph......
Once again, Link hasn't gotten up from the bench since the end of the third quarter. Today, the Grizzlies face the best team in the East. However, they still settled the battle in three quarters. Link's 28-point performance certainly made Cameron. Anthony was disgraced. After all, Link didn't play for the entire fourth quarter. If you play, wouldn't it be easy to score 30 points. ”
Hubby on the commentary seat. Brown watched yawning and the fourth quarter was just too boring. Now, while the Knicks have narrowed the gap to 13 points, what's the use of that? They're running out of time.
This is the terrible thing about opening the score in the third quarter, even if the opponent wants to chase, there is no time to chase.
"The Knicks were a little too pushy today, with three of the five fouls alone, which is incredible. It turns out that it's not the average age of a team that plays more calmly. "The game is boring, Hubi. Brown passed the time by analyzing and analyzing data.
Today, the Knicks' trio of Anthony, Wallace and Chandler are all five fouls. Smith, Kidd, and Ronnie. Brewer committed three fouls each. The team fouled a full 10 more than the Grizzlies, which is simply unreasonable......
The Knicks may be very horizontal in the East, but they are in the West......
Anthony's state at this time is simply a microcosm of the entire Knicks team.
The king of New York, who was full of arrogance and said to Link today, "You're going to die here", covered his head with a towel at this time, buried his head deeply, and was extremely lonely.
In Memphis, New Yorkers really can't really talk.
Link had 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Anthony had 20 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 5 turnovers and 5 fouls...... Link completely overwhelmed the best of the week in the East today in terms of statistics, which is also the third top small forward that Link has defeated after Durant and James. Although Link and Anthony did not face each other directly today, in terms of performance, it was indeed Link who was better. Hubi, do you think Link has really grown into a top superstar this year? ”
Hubi. After Brin summed up the Knicks' stats, his partner started asking questions.
"Can you become a top superstar?" Hubi. Brown smiled, "Have you ever seen a role player who can lead a team to clock out in three quarters without saying a word?" ”
As soon as the two finished speaking, the electronic beep on the pitch sounded. The game is over, and the Knicks are relieved!
105-95, the Grizzlies finally beat the Knicks by 10 points at home. However, the 10-point margin did not faithfully reflect the course of the game. If it weren't for the Grizzlies pulling down all their main forces at the last minute, the margin would not have been less than 15 points. ”
"For the Knicks, this was their worst loss of the season. At the same time, the game also interrupted the Knicks' six-game winning streak. I think this ball will hit the Knicks players hard. ”
The blow was really big, and even Anthony walked into the players' tunnel without saying a word after the game. The wooden floor of the Federal Express Arena is estimated that Anthony doesn't want to stay even half a second.
Since Anthony left early, the reporters gathered in front of Link.
At this time, Rachel, who was watching the live TV broadcast of the game in the hotel, picked up her phone and prepared to send a congratulatory text message to Link.
But as soon as she took out her phone, Rachel dismissed the idea.
Anyway, he doesn't look at it, what else is there to hair?
Rachel thought that Link would treat her at least a little bit specially. As a result, the text message that I carefully wrote was just one of many blessing messages.
One less is not less, one more is not too much.
Rachel collapsed on the bed with a pillow in her arms, staring at the ceiling.
Why do you care so much if Link is reading your text messages? Why were you so disappointed in your interview yesterday?
Rachel blushed slightly, then shook her head.
Indeed, it was Link's story that led her to re-choose a career related to basketball. But to say like......
"Sober up, girl. You and him are just friends, friends! Rachel muttered to herself, turning off the TV.
Meanwhile, at the Federal Express Arena, Link finally gets rid of the difficult reporters. But fortunately, Link and the Grizzlies were the winners today, so Link didn't have any problems that were too out of line.
When they walked into the locker room, everyone came over to hug Link and congratulate him on taking out another formidable opponent.
At the same time, he also defeated Anthony, the best player of the week in the East, as the best player of the week in the West.
In Randolph's words, "After this game, you're the league's Player of the Week!" ”
Link was naturally in a good mood, hugging his teammates and sitting in front of the locker, he also took out his phone and flipped through the unread text messages once.
As always, many people sent their blessings to Link. But today, Link doesn't see Rachel in the names of many senders.
Sure enough, Rachel's two flashes of disappointment yesterday were not delusions.
The first two days were busy with the Knicks, so Link didn't bother with it. Now that the game against the Knicks is over, the haughty Anthony is gone, and it's time for Link to deal with the things of life.

"Are you going to Charlotte for the next game?" Rachel's phone was the voice of her boss asking.
"Charlotte?"
"yes, the Grizzlies are going to Charlotte for their next game on the road."
"Uh...... Are there any other arrangements? ”
"Oh? I thought you were only interested in the Grizzlies. If you want to go somewhere else, of course. ”
"Let's go somewhere else, I've been in Memphis long enough, I've been interviewing Grizzlies long enough." Rachel pursed her lips and looked out the window at the bleak sky.
"Are you sure?"
As soon as the boss finished asking, Rachel's phone vibrate. She took her phone away from her ear and glanced at it, then smiled faintly.
"Forget it, I've changed my mind, I'm going to continue to follow the Memphis Grizzlies game." Rachel replied.
"This is my private number, I will use it to contact you in the future. Of course, I won't miss your texts and calls again. ”
Rachel hung up and looked at the text message that made her feel better.
Do you like it? Maybe.
