It's a challenge for any NBA player to score 30 points in half a game. Because this has high requirements for the player's scoring ability, hand stability and physical fitness.

The half-game is only 24 minutes, and the score is only 24 points a minute. So it's a great achievement to score 30 points at half-time.

Those who can score 30 points in the first half are not simple characters. Kobe, James, Durant...... Among them, Kobe Bryant has even done more than 20 half-time scoring 30 points, which is really very perverted.

Indeed, 30 points at half-time is not a record that has never been recorded before. But to be able to do this at least proves that you have the best quality.

You see, now Link's name has begun to be discussed with Kobe Bryant and the exile of James. For him, that's a success.

At this point, the game had reached the fourth quarter. But the fans have no intention of playing, but are still reminiscing about the scenes of the first half.

Link sat on the bench and played a game of "bottle toss" with Randolph. The two took turns tossing the Gatorade water bottle, and whoever could toss the bottle to the ground would win the $1,000 bet.

Link did this out of desperation, after all, the fourth quarter of the game was so boring, and he didn't need to play, so he had to find some other fun to pass the time.

By the end of the third quarter, Link had scored 43 points — a career-high scoring record.

By that time, the Grizzlies had a 28-point lead over the Rockets. To put it bluntly, the entire fourth quarter was garbage time, and Link had the Grizzlies clock out in the third quarter.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Stevens also specifically asked Link for advice. If he wants to go out there and score more points, Stevens will be very supportive.

But Link waved his hand to indicate that he would not play in the fourth quarter, and he brushed up on the points in garbage time, even if he scored a high score, it didn't have much value. Moreover, there is no point in going to the game in order to brush up points.

Rather than garbage time to go up and score points, Link would rather end the game with the glory of "31 points in the first half and 43 points in the third quarter". Anyway, there are more opportunities to get higher scoring data in the future.

As a result, Link was on the bench for the entire fourth quarter. And he has become the only reason why the fans are still on the scene.

"How so? The Rockets still have a long way to go. They have Harden, Jeremy. There are talented players like Lin and Parsons, but it will take some time for them to really establish themselves in the West. ”

"Yes, the Grizzlies have always been a team that has reached the Western Conference Finals two seasons in a row, and the Rockets haven't played the playoffs in the last three seasons. This game can also help the Rockets see how far apart they are from the real Western giants. ”

The commentators no longer explained the game itself, but began the "bear blowing meeting".

To analyze how the grizzlies won, it is simply impossible to analyze. Because the Grizzlies' strength is obviously stronger than the Rockets, there is no reason for this game, it is because it is stronger, so the Grizzlies slaughtered the Rockets.

In this way, the commentators are not blowing the grizzlies, but are really analyzing the reasons for today's game for the fans.

In competitive sports, food is the original sin.

The torturous fourth quarter finally came to an end, 118-95, and the Grizzlies beat the Rockets by 23 points at home. After slaughtering the Bucks by 18 points in the previous game, the Grizzlies immediately set a new record for the largest margin win this season.

After the game, Harden went straight back to the locker room, did not give any interviews to reporters, and was not even willing to stay on the court longer.

Today, Harden's performance in the second half did not pick up, 4-of-18 from the field, 1-of-6 from three-point range, and scored 18 points miserably before leaving in disgrace.

After playing the first three games, he was suddenly slapped to the ground with a stick today, and Harden must be very uncomfortable. As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the more painful it hurts.

Jeremy Lin, who appeared in Time magazine with Link last season, smiled wryly and hugged Link, and Link was happy for him if he was able to get this statistic. But the Rockets lost so badly...... Jeremy Lin couldn't be happier.

And McHale's embarrassed expression when facing the reporter's camera, Link was heartbroken when he saw it.

The whole rocket was beaten and shut up.

So you don't have to talk to someone like McHale before the game, just beat him up.

In the end, Link walked off the court to the collective cheers of Grizzlies fans. The fans insisted on being there during garbage time, just to be able to give Link the greatest tribute to Memphis at the end.

No player in the Grizzlies history has ever treated this kind of team.

As the commentator said in this game, Link is a veritable king of Memphis.

At the same time that the Grizzlies slaughtered the Rockets at home, the defending champion Miami Heat, at the Phillips Center in Atlanta, won the Hawks 95-89 away.

After the game, LeBron scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. James hugged his teammates one by one. James, it seems, is in a very calm mood. After all, it was just an ordinary victory for him.

After winning this game, the Heat's record changed to 5-1. Moreover, this is also the Heat's fourth consecutive win in recent times. Victory, for James and the Heat, is the norm. So, there's nothing to be excited about.

Back in the locker room, James saw Wade in a suit and leather shoes. Wade didn't play today due to a knee injury, which is why the game was a little bit scorching.

"Well done man, I knew you weren't going to go wrong." Wade and James embraced each other passionately, not caring if their suits would be stained with sweat.

"How's the rest? In the next game, you're going to be back. James sat in front of the locker and looked at the schedule.

In the next game, the Heat will go away to Tennessee and fight the Grizzlies!

"I just have a bit of knee soreness, and a break should relieve a lot of it. By the way, you may not know that you are playing on the field. Link scored 43 points against the Rockets today, a career-high scoring high. Wade took out his phone and shook it, he was in the locker room watching the game between the Heat and the Grizzlies at the same time.

"43 points? The kid is getting fiercer and fiercer. However, considering that the opponent is a rocket, it is not surprising. Every time he meets a rocket, it's like a chicken. James smiled and waved his hand, the relationship between the Rockets and Link, James naturally knows.

But the strong No. 6 striker didn't notice that his good partner Wade had a serious face.

"It's not just 43 points in a single game, LeBron. Link scored 43 points without playing a minute in the fourth quarter! He scored 31 points in the first half and put James Brown. Harden can't find North! The Rockets' defense is like a playground for him, and he can play whatever he wants. In the next game, we will face unprecedented stubborn resistance in Tennessee. That kid is progressing so fast! I'm afraid that now, he is really an opponent. ”

"43 points in three quarters? 31 points at halftime? Hearing Wade say this, James also frowned slightly.

At first, when he heard that Link scored 43 points, James didn't really pay much attention to it. After all, 43 is not an exaggerated number for him.

But knowing that Link scored 31 points in the half, James was not calm.

For the first time, James felt that Link would be a threat.

As Wade said, Link is progressing too fast! Before James could react, there was another strong enemy.
