One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Nine: He Completely Destroyed Me
The four minutes passed very quickly, and in a short while, it was already at the end.
The numbers on the timer kept beating, but Devin Booker's score did not change at all in the last few minutes.
At this time, there are only 53 seconds left before the end of the game. The number "38" is still written in the column of Devin Booker's scoring data.
Countless Suns fans and Warriors fans are looking forward to Booker scoring 40+ points at FedEx Arena today. However, they have not waited for this moment to arrive until now.
Ever since Link switched defense to Booker, the outstanding second-year guard was completely frozen.
Not only was he unable to score, but his confidence was completely wiped out!
No one knows what Link said to Booker when he fought back a few rounds ago, but since then, Booker has seemed to become a puppet, at the mercy of Link.
It was obviously only one goal away from 40 points. However, Booker could not cross this goal no matter what.
At this time, the Suns were already 12 points behind. If Bledsoe hadn't hit the basket again and again and caused fouls, the point difference might have become even greater.
When the Suns lack Booker, their most important scoring point, their offensive threat also plummets.
"Link completely locked up Booker at the last moment and didn't even allow Booker to score a single point. At the critical moment, no one could threaten Link!"
Hubie Brown looked at Booker who looked lonely, and he knew that the game was over.
God knows what Link just said to Booker, but the second-year guard must now have a deep understanding of Link's horror.
In the two previous matches, to be honest, neither Link nor Grizzly were forced to use their special skills.
It is precisely because of this that Devin Booker has the dangerous idea of "wanting to defeat Link".
But after today, Booker probably won't think about defeating Link for a long time.
The gap between them was wider than his wildest imagination.
Sure enough, in this key attack of the Suns, Booker was still confused, and he was not even that active in running without the ball.
Devin Booker couldn't stand up,
Bledsoe could only bite the bullet and continue.
However, his breakthrough-oriented style of play has put the Grizzlies on guard.
This time, when Bledsoe broke into the penalty area, Harrell's tough high-altitude interception was waiting for him.
Under the double interference of Harrell and Conley, Bledsoe missed a layup.
The failure of this attack also means that the Suns have no chance of victory.
"It's over. The Suns missed their last chance. Although there are still 44 seconds left in the game, I don't think anyone in the Suns can stand up and replicate the miracle of Tracy McGrady's moment."
Melvin Booker, who was on the sidelines, fell into his seat in despair and buried his head in his hands.
Every time Booker steps onto a bigger stage, he always gets a chance to shine.
This is true from high school to college to the NBA.
But this time, an exception occurred.
Link's power cannot be compared to Booker's occasional hot touch.
Booker still has a long way to go if he wants to own this stage.
In the end, the score of the whole game was fixed at 110-97.
The Phoenix Suns played a high-start and low-go game. They took the lead in the first quarter with the help of Booker, and later caused a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies.
But in the most critical last four minutes, Devin Booker scored 0.
In four crucial minutes, he was completely zeroed by Link!
"The game is over. Although it was a bit difficult to win this game, the Grizzlies recovered and avoided a losing streak. They maintained their suppression of the Warriors in the record rankings, and the Warriors want to return to first place in the Western Conference. , I’m afraid it will take a little more effort.”
Hubie Brown let out a sigh of relief. This game was really thrilling for him. If the Grizzlies really turned over the Suns and Booker, many people would probably be as unable to digest it as he was.
However, Link's sea-fixing needle stabilized everything in the end.
Devin Booker performed very well today, but as long as it is the victory that Link wants, it doesn't matter how good you are.
After the game, Booker walked into the tunnel in despair without saying hello to anyone.
Earl Watson felt a little heartbroken. Booker's lonely appearance was in sharp contrast to his energetic appearance yesterday.
Then, Watson's eyes focused on Link again.
That guy is really scary.
Not only can he win games, he can sow fear in the minds of his opponents.
Watson only feels lucky that his playing days happened to be at the same time as Link's.
Otherwise, he may also experience a fear he has never experienced before.
Little Booker is gone, but Old Booker is still there.
After the game, Link and Old Booker hugged each other warmly. Until then, many people knew that this guy who had been dancing with excitement was Devin Booker's father.
"Your son is excellent. He really surprised me." Link smiled. He was the winner anyway, so he could say whatever he wanted.
"You taught him a good lesson, Link. In the critical last four minutes, your score ratio was 5-0. The kid was completely frozen by you. This must be a very unforgettable experience for him... ... If you can, have him come to your training camp this summer."
"Hahahaha, I'll think about it, Melvin."
Link did not speak rudely to Booker's father, but instead gave them enough respect.
After all, his real enemy was not the Bookers.
Who is Link's real enemy? Of course they are the guys who are eyeing the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference!
At the post-game press conference, young Booker finally regained his consciousness. It seemed that he had already digested the terrible four minutes he had just experienced.
A reporter asked Booker: "You almost scored 40 points today. You must be very satisfied with your performance to be able to hit the Grizzlies to such an extent, right?"
Faced with this question, Booker waved his hands: "No, I have nothing to show off in this game. At the critical moment, I completely disappeared and failed to shoulder the responsibility of leading the team's counterattack. In fact... ..."
Booker paused, and Link's words "Don't mess with Jesus" came to mind again.
"...In fact, I was completely destroyed by Link today. There is still a big gap between me and him. I learned a lot from this game, and I hope I can continue to work hard in the future."
The reporters were dumbfounded. Although Link scored 11 rebounds and 12 assists today, he scored "only" 27 points.
In terms of scoring, Booker surpassed Link by 11 points!
However, it was this guy who scored nearly 40 points who said he was destroyed by Link.
What exactly did Link do to this young man with great potential...
"Nothing, I just told him the cruel side of this league. To become a real superstar, you must be able to carry the team forward at critical moments. Why do we need an old-fashioned Wade? Because even if he misses all the first 15 shots, in the end He might as well make the shot."
On the other side, Link answered the reporter like this, and by the way, he also made a joke about Wade, who was completely abused by Booker today.
Although it was a joke, what Link said was true. Sometimes, 2 points at a critical moment may be more valuable than 20 points at ordinary times.
A high score may not end the game, but a key goal can!
"You must be very happy to win the Phoenix Suns without any danger, right? What kind of change will this victory bring to the mentality of the Grizzlies?" Afterwards, a local Memphis reporter stood up and asked an ordinary reporter A very common question.
But Link is a player who can answer ordinary questions very unusually.
"To be honest, it has no impact on us. But for those guys who got sores on their butts after sitting in the second place, they must be very anxious. Hahahaha, regaining first place in the Western Conference? This is the funniest thing I have ever heard. joke."
Link blinked at the reporter. An ordinary question became so explosive.
Link officially announced that the Golden State Warriors' arrogance is over!
