One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Five: Let’s Talk About It After We Become No. 1.

Durant repeated his old trick. He used the screen to get rid of Link, and then faced Jokic's defense and made a pull-up jumper.

At this time in the last game, Jokic always looked frightened every time he faced Durant's shot.

But today, Durant can no longer see that expression on Jokic's face.

Jokic bravely rushed forward and struggled to reach the thrown basketball.

Durant therefore deliberately increased the arc, but Jokic's finger still touched the basketball!

"Jokic completed the block, but he didn't let Durant get what he wanted!"

Seeing this scene, Mark Jackson was not surprised.

He said before the game started that the young people of the Grizzlies would not back down in this game.

Facts have proved that he was right. Today, the young people of the Grizzlies not only did not shrink from the battle, but also bottomed out.

Although Link scored the most points on the field today, everyone's eyes were also focused on Link.

But the efforts of the rest of the Grizzlies team cannot be ignored.

Link dared to charge forward so boldly because he had a group of teammates behind him to strengthen his defense.

Durant's shot was blocked, and Green immediately rushed to fight for the out-of-control basketball.

But as soon as he took off, he found that Harrell took advantage of the speed of the rebound and seemed to catch the basketball first.

Today, Green is not the only one who is actively working hard on the basketball court!

Seeing that Harrell was about to snatch the basketball away, Green secretly pulled Harrell in the air.

In the end, Harrell failed to catch the ball directly, but clicked and the basketball flew out of bounds.

Green let out a big sigh, his efforts were not in vain. Although this attack failed, at least the team retained the offensive ball.

The basketball flew out of bounds and it looked like the referee was about to blow the whistle.

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out.

Dinwiddie dived towards the audience and got the ball back with reckless abandon!

"What!?" Green didn't expect Dinwiddie to be so active. This was completely different from his timid performance in the last game!

Dinwiddie rolled into the audience and "exploded" several Warriors fans in the front row.

But the basketball was successfully rescued. Conley received the ball steadily and then threw it vigorously forward!

The camera lens on the scene moved quickly following the basketball, and finally settled on No. 0.

"The ball was recovered, and the Grizzlies used their series of efforts to recover the ball. Now the basketball fell into Link's hands, and he got a chance to fight back!"

Mark Jackson stood up directly, because if this shot hits...

After receiving the basketball, Link ran forward quickly. He glanced at both sides of him and found that only Curry was following him.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about.

Link raised the basketball with both hands and jumped to almost the same height as the basket.

Then, while everyone held their breath, Link slammed his arms hard.

"Bang!"

The basket made a loud noise. If the league hadn't reinforced the backboard now, God knows whether Link's dunk would have shattered the backboard like the "Shark" did.

The backboard sank suddenly, so frightened that the reporters next to the basketball stand almost ran away.

After Link let go, the backboard immediately rebounded and rose, making a "creak" sound, as if the entire basketball stand was about to fall apart.

Indeed, Link has never been a power player.

But don't underestimate his power.

After scoring the goal, Link did not celebrate or talk trash. Instead, he hurried back and "fished" Dinwiddie out of the crowd with everyone.

"Did the ball go in!? Did it go in!?" After Dinwiddie got up, he asked while looking up at the big screen without caring about his own body.

On the big screen, the Grizzlies already lead the Warriors by 19 points. Link's scoring data changed from 49 to 51. There is only 1 minute and 18 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors' plan to reduce the score failed, but the Grizzlies counterattacked.

They were generalized!

Link's firepower in the fourth quarter really lived up to expectations. After scoring 40 points, he still did not stop and continued to attack.

And now, his score has exceeded the 50 mark!

"51 points, Link scored the 51st point of the game! God, we thought Link would only score 40 points today. But today, his performance exceeded everyone's expectations!"

Mark Jackson felt his scalp was numb. As someone who had been in the NBA in the 1980s and had been both a player and a coach, he had experienced countless games.

Therefore, he also knows very well that scoring 50 points in a single game in the playoffs is a very rare thing.

However, Link seemed to be deliberately pursuing this goal today. He attacked fiercely from the beginning until now. Not only has the firepower not been interrupted, it has become even more fierce in the fourth quarter!

What a terrible guy!

"Don't worry, the ball went in. We're going to win, kid." Link said, touching Dinwiddie's head.

Today, these four guys did not disappoint.

Jokic had 15 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks!

Harrell had 6 rebounds and 2 blocks and made 5 of 6 shots from the free throw line.

Dinwiddie made 3 of 4 from three-point range, and Richardson scored 14 points. Moreover, the combined number of mistakes made by the two today is still 0 so far. Adding up the number of steals, there were 5!

"Now, we kicked their butts in their home court!" Jokic laughed naively and used a rare swear word.

Durant, Green, Curry and Thompson looked at each other, but were speechless.

Today, their performance was not bad, but unfortunately Link played too well.

Throughout the game, Link was like a supercar with a full tank of gas.

No matter how hard they chase, they just can't catch up.

Link's offense today paralyzed the Warriors' defense, and in the fourth quarter, Link opened the score in one fell swoop.

Cole called another timeout. There was still one minute left in the game, but this was already his penultimate timeout.

This shows how frequently he called timeouts today.

Warriors fans had their heads in their hands, unable to believe what they were seeing.

Link actually scored 51 points like chopping melons and vegetables, and those young people on the Grizzlies team actually fought so hard. All this seems a bit unrealistic to the fans in the stands.

The powerful Galaxy Battleship was actually sunk by Link and a group of brats!

This is the Oracle Arena. Shouldn't it be the Warriors who have won the big victory? ?

Taking advantage of this timeout, Mark Jackson also immediately taught everyone why he was so excited when Link scored 50 points.

In the playoffs, 50 points, this seems to be a seemingly unremarkable thing.

However, in the entire history of the NBA, there are only 23 people, including Link, who can squeeze into the list of 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs.

Moreover, this does not include Curry, Durant, James and others!

If the condition is to score 50 points in a single playoff game more than once, then there will be only 5 players left on the 23-man roster.

"LOGO Man" Jerry West twice, the great Allen Iverson three times, "Zhang 20,000" Chamberlain four times, Jordan has the most, he has done it eight times!

That's right, even a monster like Chamberlain, who scored 60+ points in a single game more than 30 times in the regular season, has only performed 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs four times in his life.

This shows how difficult it is to score 50+ points in the playoffs!

Facing the tightest defense and the fiercest confrontation, it would be good if a normal person's data does not shrink, let alone 50 points.

But today, Link scored 50 points in the playoffs for the fifth time in his career! This means that he officially surpassed Wilt Chamberlain and became the second person in NBA history to score 50 points in a single playoff game, second only to Jordan!

Hearing Mark Jackson's introduction, Warriors fans were even more disheartened.

They are now going against a historical superstar! Do they really have hope?

Not the hope of this game, the hope of the entire series...

Link sat on the bench, looking at the 19-point difference, and smiled with satisfaction.

He didn't study any historical rankings. He couldn't even remember how many times he had scored 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs.

Today, Link just wanted to win. From the moment he stepped into the arena, he wanted to win.

So, he scored, scored, and scored like crazy.

He thought of the beautiful night scene in Oakland last night, and what he wanted to do most was to destroy the wonderful night of the Oakland fans with his own hands.

So, unknowingly, he got 51 points.

"Link." At this time, Quinn Snyder, who looked like a villain, appeared in front of Link with a smile.

Even if this guy smiles normally, he gives off a malicious feeling.

It's a shame that he didn't go to Hollywood to play a villain but to be a basketball coach.

"What's wrong Quinn?"

"Hahaha, you didn't know it yet, but you broke the record again!"

"Pfft!" Link, who was drinking water, almost sprayed Snyder in the face.

Are you saying that this league record can’t be broken?

Link remembered that he had been breaking records one after another. It must have been going on for several seasons. How could there be so many records to break?

"What record?"

"The number of 50 points in a single game in the playoffs has officially surpassed Chamberlain, and now ranks second in history!" Snyder said, showing two fingers.

"Second? Who is first?" Link asked again.

"Of course it's Jordan, he did it eight times and you did it five times."

"Oh, let's talk about breaking the record when I surpass him." Link waved his hand lightly, and then prepared to play again.

Snyder froze on the spot, boy, are you serious?

After more than a minute, the game ended. 125 to 112, the Warriors scored two difficult three-pointers at the last minute, but it was too late.

With a terrifying scoring data of 51 points, Link silenced the Oracle Arena.

"This is no longer his battlefield." Looking at Link being interviewed on the court, Snyder muttered to himself.

"What?" Joger thought Snyder was talking to him, so he asked again.

"I said, this is no longer Link's battlefield. Do you think that guy's goal is just to win the championship? No, that guy's goal... is Michael."

After saying that, Snyder walked into the player tunnel.

It is generally believed that no one in the world can surpass Jordan, and there will never be a greater player than Jordan in the league. .

But Snyder now believes that in a few years, this statement may become outdated.

The total score was 2-1, and the Grizzlies took the lead again. The beautiful Auckland has been trampled into ruins by Link.
