Six Hundred and Sixty-Six: Mao Sui Recommends Himself a General

"Link destroys his opponent again!"

Hubby Brown laughs like a 20-something, when you're in the best seat in the best basketball arena in the world, watching a great performance from a great star, it's hard not to Happy.

Throughout the game, the Suns' Morris brothers were babbling trash talking to Link. Today, the performance of the two brothers is also really good. They came off the bench and brought a lot of trouble to the Grizzlies.

However, before the end of the third quarter, Link hit the buzzer with a difficult backboard against Markieff Morris, widening the difference to 22 points! It completely kills the suspense of the game.

The moment the ball was scored, Hubie Brown ushered in the most enjoyable moment of his day—feeling the enthusiasm of FedEx Arena.

In the roar of people, Link shook his fingers at the Morris brothers.

On the surface, the league does not allow anyone outside Mutombo to do this. Even if Jordan shook his finger, he would be called a technical foul.

But after Mutombo retired, the league actually turned a blind eye, and there were not a few people who did the finger-waking action. As long as it is not excessive, the referee generally will not trouble the players.

And if the referee is really looking for trouble, Link has already thought about his words, "I am celebrating myself in the face of the fans, not humiliating my opponent."

The Morris brothers looked at the arrogant Link and could only shake their heads secretly. Neither of them could handle him, Link was really unstoppable.

With one full quarter left in the game, Grizzlies fans are already celebrating the start of a 17-game winning streak.

After the Nets continued, the Grizzlies ushered in a good start in December. At the same time, it also rewritten the league's longest winning streak from 15 to 17!

According to Joger's practice, Link did not play again throughout the fourth quarter. The game has been decided, and Jogel will not continue to take risks with his star.

Link sat on the bench. Although he only played three quarters, he had already scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. This data is enough to make him the best in the game after only three quarters.

"Hey Link, how are you preparing for that?" Beside Link, Quinn Snyder, who joined the team this summer, chatted with Link.

Although Snyder looks like a villain,

But in fact, people are very easy to get along with. Just like Severus Snape in Harry Potter, almost everyone thought he was the villain when they saw him appear, and finally realized that they were just bad-looking, and that people were good people.

"What's the matter?" Link wiped his sweat and replied to Snyder.

"Betting with Jordan! Hahahaha, this is so exciting, Link! Can you believe it? You are betting against Michael, Jordan! No one dares to bet against Jordan because everyone who bet against him loses. ." Snyder was so excited, as if he was more interested in that thing than the game was going on.

"Hey, don't mention it. No one dares to bet with Jordan, even if they can win." Link shook his head.

He once heard an interesting story that before the start of the Bulls' home game, the live big screen in the United Center Arena would occasionally play video of the horse race. Then Jordan, the old gambler, kept betting against Pippen on which horse was faster.

As a result, Jordan scored "another" 72 wins.

Later, Jordan learned that the horse racing video in the United Center is not live, but recorded! The games all happened the day before. And Pippen, he knew the outcome of the game in advance.

But he still let Jordan win because he was Jordan.

That's why Link said that even if he could win, no one would dare to beat him.

Originally, before the game started today, Link had just played a heads-up with the boss Pera, and this matter was over.

But because of Pera and Jordan's bet, it was postponed until tomorrow. Until now, Link didn't know who his opponent was. Just betting with Jordan, there is so much pressure.

"No matter who it is, Jordan is sure to lose this time. Let him know that this is not his age, hahahahaha." Snyder looks like he can't wait to eat melons, anyway, he will play tomorrow to shoot three-pointers It's not him.

Link was distressed, although Pera's original intention was to donate money if she lost, otherwise she wouldn't pick opponents stronger than herself again and again.

If he wanted to win, he'd pick Cuban on the Mavericks.

But Link doesn't want to lose, and he is exactly like Jordan in this regard. Even if it was a gamble, Link didn't want to lose. What's more, this has changed from player vs boss to player vs player, and the nature is completely different.

In the wild thoughts, the signal for the end of the game finally sounded. The Phoenix Suns lost to the Grizzlies for the second time in a row this season, 91-110. The Morris brothers scored 28 points today, which is quite efficient.

But the Grizzlies played a perfect performance with 7 players scoring in double figures, pressed the Suns down, and won the 17-game winning streak.

17-game winning streak, which isn't just the league's longest opening streak. It also ranks seventh on the longest winning streak in league history.

In NBA history, there have been 4 teams that stopped 17 consecutive victories in a single season. They were the Washington Congress in the 1946-1947 season, the Celtics in the 1959-1960 season, and the Mavericks led by Nowitzki in the 2006-2007 season. And the 2006-2007 Suns led by Nash. Those four teams share the league's seventh longest winning streak, with the Grizzlies fifth.

Of course, on their heads, there are 3 other teams that have won 18 consecutive victories. But it is believed that the Grizzlies will soon join them.

Another perfect night. After the game, Link was interviewed by reporters as always. But today, the question that the reporter asked has nothing to do with the game!

"Link, just when you won 17 consecutive victories, Michael Jordan announced the players who will complete the bet with him. Gilbert Arenas, who has been out of sight for a long time, will represent Jordan to complete the bet. Against your three-pointer. Do you have anything to say about that?"

"What? Arenas?" Linkmon circled. He thought that Jordan would find Durant, Kobe and even James. But Arenas? what's going on?

Arenas has largely disappeared from the NBA since being waived by the Orlando Magic in 2011. From 2012 to 2013, he briefly played the CBA, but naturally he failed to reach the height of Marbury.

Just a week ago, Arenas said in an interview with TMZ that he would never appear on the professional basketball court again, officially announcing his retirement. ,

Is such a guy who has announced his retirement and was no longer a superstar in the league many years ago, would be chosen by Jordan to challenge himself?

what the hell!

The only thing Arenas and Jordan have in common is that they both played for the Wizards. But in 2003, when Arenas joined the Wizards, Jordan just retired, so the two have never been teammates.

How did these two guys get together?

"Are you sure it's Arenas?" Link asked again, afraid of the reporter's mistake.

"Gilbert Arenas, yes, it's him." The reporter nodded affirmatively.

Seeing that Link was a little confused, the reporter immediately explained, "This summer, after seeing 50-year-old Jordan still able to dunk, Arenas once said that he wanted to play Jordan one-on-one. Of course, Jordan didn't accept it. So After this incident, Arenas found Jordan overnight and expressed his willingness to play on behalf of Jordan. Jordan also said that if Arenas can win you, he will satisfy Arenas and play with him."

"As a result, Arenas made 96 of 100 three-pointers in the Bobcats training hall! Jordan immediately decided to let Arenas challenge you!"

"How many hits out of 100?" After listening to the reporter's explanation, Link felt that the matter was even more sinister.

In the future, a video of Curry shooting 94 of 100 three-pointers on the training ground exploded on the Internet. Although it's just training, this is already a fairly exaggerated three-point shooting rate.

However, the reporter just said that Arenas made 96 of 100 three-pointers in the training ground? Two more than Curry, who made three-pointers like free throws in the future! ?

how can that be! ? Arenas hasn't played at a high level for so long. Although Arenas' NBA career three-point shooting percentage is not bad, 35.1%. But the 96-for-100 shooting rate still surprised Link.

The reporter seemed to have discovered Link's thoughts, so he smiled, "If you don't believe it, you can watch the video on the Internet. Arenas' shooting video has been released, and it's genuine."

Hearing that there was a video from the reporter, Link suddenly remembered that before he crossed over, he had really watched the video of Arenas throwing a three-pointer after he retired.

What happened at the time was that Arenas and Nick Yang Xiaxia made a bet to shoot a three-pointer, and the loser would give each other 100,000.

As a result, Arenas made 95 of 100 three-pointers on video, while Nick Young has not shown his face for unknown reasons.

People say it's fortunate that Nick Young didn't show his face, otherwise it would be a disgrace.

Now, the three-pointer with Arenas has changed from teammate Nick Young to himself, and Link can't escape, so he can't pretend to disappear like Nick Young.

If beaten by a retired player, it's really a rollover scene. And Arenas is also a strong man, and he is very eager to win a one-on-one chance with Jordan. Therefore, the "General" will definitely not release water.

Link covered his forehead and walked towards the player tunnel. He only felt a pain in his brain now.

Really, don't bet against Jordan.
