879:The Link Difference (part 3 of 5)

Steve. Cole was looking forward to the night at first.

If the Warriors can really suppress the Grizzlies, then not to mention the division finals, even the O'Brien Cup is not impossible!

But at this time, Kerr is like a college star who has just entered the NBA from the NAA.

A lot of star players who excelled in college find themselves in the NBA that they may be nothing.

Kerr feels this way now, and the self-confidence he has accumulated from his previous 6 consecutive wins has been torn apart by this game.

In the face of the Grizzlies' strength, the Warriors' previous six-game winning streak became worthless.

Kerr turned his head and looked at the team's bench.

found that Curry, Thompson and Green were also lonely.

Those three youngsters made an incredible start, and they took the Golden State Warriors to the next level in an instant.

They were climbing at an unpredictable pace, but Link's "mountain" suddenly stopped their progress.

And if you want to flip over Link, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

At that moment, the electronic beep sounded at the end of the game.

In the stands behind Cole, there was a loud noise.

The new coach of the Warriors couldn't help but look up at the big screen on the spot, 23-99, the Golden State Warriors lost by 24 points on the road!

Of course, the best six-game winning streak in team history stops there.

In Memphis, there's never a shortage of magic. But only grizzly bears can do magic here.

This sentence was once used badly by the media, and this time it made Cole deeply experienced.

"At the end of the game, the Golden State Warriors couldn't find their rhythm at all since they were beaten 20-0 by the Grizzlies in the second quarter! Their six-game winning streak was ended, and the Grizzlies have won five in a row since Link's return! The Grizzlies are only half a win away from regaining the first place in the West! ”

Hubi. Brown stood up and applauded the moment the game ended.

In the Grizzlies' toughest time, and once again, Link pulled the team back from the brink.

Link stood up from the bench and waved to the fans in the stands.

The fourth player in NBA history to record a triple-double in seven consecutive games, Link has added another prestigious title.

Soon, Stephen. A. Smith walked up to Link.

The exaggerated-looking reporter looked even more agitated than Link, walking from the sidelines to the pitch with his mouth in the shape of a "" all the time.

"You must be kidding! Again, you hit a triple-double in the third quarter, which is already your seventh consecutive triple-double! Can you tell us what kind of mood it feels!? Smith put the microphone up to Link's mouth.

Of course, he still forgot to close his own mouth.

"I'm happier with winning than with seven triple-doubles in a row. After this game, we are only half a win away from regaining the first place in the West. To be honest, I'm used to the position above and I really don't like to fall down. So, we'll be back as soon as possible. ”

Link still looked relaxed, not at all like a man who had just touched a winning streak.

"Really? So aren't you really thrilled with the achievement of seven consecutive triple-doubles? ”

"If anything, yes, I'm not very excited. Because soon, this title will no longer belong to me. Link nodded, which made Stephen . A. Smith looked confused.

"What do you mean? You're saying that soon someone will be able to do the same thing? ”

"No, I mean, I'm going to break the record of seven consecutive triple-doubles very quickly. So, there's nothing to be excited about. ”

With that, Link smiled easily and turned to leave.

Many fans in front of the TV squirted out a mouthful of old blood and watched Link being interviewed, which gave them the feeling of watching Bird be interviewed in the 0s.

As long as you can pretend to be forced, you will never talk well!

After Link was already gone, Stephen. A. Smith only remembered that he hadn't asked Link anything about Green.

Green and Link had such a stir before the game, and Green was abused so badly in today's game, which was originally a topic worth hype.

But once again, Green is ignored by Link.

Even Smith himself ignored Green. It seems that in front of Link's record and performance, Green is not worth mentioning at all.

Perhaps, as Link said, he and Green are not on the same level at all.

At the post-game press conference, the Warriors completely lost the spirit they had before the game began.

Steve. "They almost broke us down at the start of the second quarter, and that's what made the game go differently. ”

Today, he shot only 2% from three-point range, 36% from the field overall, and only scored 9 points in the game, Curry, who could no longer show a sunny smile, "I've never played a game like this, the Grizzlies' defensive intensity is unmatched, and hopefully we can get better in the future." ”

Draymond, who shot only 2 of them, missed all 4 three-point shots, and only scored 6 points, 0 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game. Green is undoubtedly the most embarrassing presence for the Warriors.

"Draymond, what do you think of Link's stats that far outpace yours today?"

Greene: "......"

"Can you elaborate on what happened when you were shaken? How exactly did you lose your center of gravity? ”

Greene: "......"

"Link hit a triple-double in the third quarter, and you said before the game that you could limit Link, so how do you think you are limiting?"

Green continued to be speechless, he had been asked about his autism.

Green first raised the bar with Link, but he was actually upset that Curry lost the best of the month.

But now, Link has proven that he deserves his best of the month. Because today it's not just that he didn't play as well as Link, Curry's performance is also far from Link's.

If Curry played better than Link today, Green would still be able to say a few words on this point.

But alas, Curry also overturned.

Green has lost all positions in fighting back against Link, and this "big mouth", who has always been unafraid of heaven and earth, is exceptionally silent today.

Eventually, Green got up and left the media reception room without saying a word.

I believe that this unique trip to Memphis will make Green shut up for a long time.

※※※

Popovich watched the Grizzlies-Warriors game, and after the game, he was silent for a long time on the TV screen where the commercial was showing.

In the third quarter, 29 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists...... Link's terrifying attack shocked Popovich.

He's not seen a triple-double in three quarters, he's even seen something as bizarre as 35 seconds and three minutes, what could be more incredible?

But whether it's 35 seconds and 3 minutes or a triple double in three quarters, most of these incredible moments are short-lived.

There's no way Maddie can play 35.3 points in two consecutive games, let alone two in a row, and if you ask Maddie to play that game again, he can't do it.

If 35 seconds and 3 minutes can be done so easily, then it is not a miracle.

In the same way, the same is true for three quarters and three pairs. Most players may be able to pull off a triple-double in a game once in a while, but they can't do it all the time.

The biggest difference between Link and the others is that he can continue his magical performance for several games. For him, creating magic is as simple as eating and sleeping.

One moment it was the first 20-point triple-double in a half in NBA history, and the next was a triple-double in three quarters.

Link is like he will never have ups and downs, and he can burst out with maximum power anytime and anywhere.

Thinking of this, Popovich shook his head.

No matter what, tomorrow he must put an end to Link's magic.

Link says he'll soon break the record of seven consecutive triple-doubles?

Dream on!

That's right, tomorrow, Feb. 7, the Grizzlies will play back-to-back games against the Spurs in San Antonio.

At the moment, the Grizzlies and Spurs have played each other twice, with each side winning once.

But the Spurs won precisely because of Link's absence.

This time, Link was very healthy and in perfect shape.

Popovich's only hope of winning is pinning on back-to-back.

Is Link in that good form at all times? Popovich does not believe that there is such a player in this world.
