Six Hundred and Sixty-Nine: This Time to Take the Vote

On the morning of December 5th, countless reporters gathered at the gate of St. Judy Children's Research Hospital, which was originally unattended.

Because today, Michael Jordan and Gilbert Arenas will personally donate to the hospital. It's not uncommon for two retired stars to come together for a public appearance.

Therefore, the visit of the two caused a great sensation.

However, when it comes to the visit of Michael Jordan and Arenas today, the topic of Link's 97-for-100 shooting from beyond the arc cannot be avoided.

Last night, when several media invited to participate in the gambling game released the video of Arenas and Link's shooting, as the reporters analyzed, the whole world went crazy.

"97 for 100? Is there a remote control inside the basketball?"

"I looked at the calendar and realized this wasn't a fucking April Fool's joke, incredible!?"

"Arenas is still in such a good state, but Link... well, for Link, you can never look at him with your usual eyes."

"79 3-pointers in a row? God, I can't imagine Michael Jordan's expression, after all, he only scored 5 points in the NBA 3-point contest."

The views of each video are frighteningly high, and basketball fans all over the world are discussing the three-point shootout.

When Link broke the league's three-point contest scoring record, he already attracted a lot of attention. But this time, 97 of 100 shots and 79 three-pointers in a row seem to be more exaggerated than breaking the record of the three-point contest!

Even today, there is little discussion of the game played last night. All eyes were attracted by the magical shooting performances of Link and Arenas.

Link also didn't expect that it was clearly a matter of Pera and Jordan, but now it was himself and Arenas who were on fire.

Still, Link was quite proud to be able to surprise Jordan in front of him yesterday.

Not born in the same era as Jordan, it is not that there is no chance for him to know himself through other means.

Now the most depressed person has become Pella.

On the one hand, he was delighted with Link's amazing shooting performance. But on the other hand, Pella's 1 million was not donated.

Originally wanted to give back to Memphis, but the money was not donated.

Anyway, Pera decided to donate to the hospital again after a while.

Pella won't do anything like gambling anymore. Because now, Pera can also say like Jordan, "I've never lost a bet."

Link's popularity continued to soar that that night, before the start of the Grizzlies' rematch with the Clippers, a video of Link's 97-for-100 three-pointers yesterday was being played on the big screen at FedEx Arena.

Before the game, Link was surrounded by several cameras. And the Clippers players on the road seem to have become transparent, and no one cares at all.

I don't know if I was frightened by Link's terrible three-point record. Tonight, the Clippers, aiming for revenge, played to a pulp.

It was thought that Barnes, who made Link's eyes red, would pay the price tonight. And the Grizzlies, who let the Clippers lose, will go through the test today.

In fact, the game was over in just three quarters. The Clippers seemed to be softening their hands today, shooting terribly low.

In the whole game, the Clippers made only 29 of 77 shots, and the shooting percentage was only 37.7%. Their 3-pointers were even worse, hitting 3 in the entire game and not even 1 in a quarter. 3 of 13, the audience three-point shooting rate was only 23.1%!

Under such circumstances, the Grizzlies led by 26 points after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the protagonists such as Link, Paul, and Griffin have all been on the sidelines. Therefore, the fierce battle did not arise.

In the end, the Grizzlies won the rematch with the Clippers 101-81 at home. Of course, the best opening streak has also become 18.

Link only had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists today, but considering that he only played in three quarters, this data is not too bad.

Link won the bet and won the ball, and for a time, he became the hottest star in the league, no one.

In the past, people were talking about Kobe, about James, and even about the young three-game scoring champion Durant.

But this year, there is only one protagonist - Link!

Link lived up to expectations. After defeating the Clippers, he led the team to two victories.

On December 7, the Grizzlies host the Warriors. For the first time this season, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors by 18 points. But that game Stephen Curry was out due to injury, and the Warriors were left behind.

Today, Curry returned, and Mark Jackson was able to send his best starter.

However, the ending has not changed.

The most beautiful thing the Warriors did in this game was to force the Grizzlies to the last minute. Klay Thompson and David Lee performed very well today. The former scored 30 points, while the latter did not lose to former teammate Randolph with 23 points and 11 rebounds.

But at the last moment, Link's two crucial three-pointers completely silenced the Warriors.

In the end, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Warriors 108-101 at home, leaving Thompson and David Lee reluctantly to join the "empty club".

Link scored 32 points in the game, including 4 of 6 three-pointers. At the critical moment, he also established his advantage by three-pointers, proving that he can score goals not only in training.

It is worth mentioning that Curry only made 2 of 7 three-pointers today, and the shooting rate was less than 30%.

To be able to step on the future three-point killer on three points, Link still feels quite a sense of accomplishment.

A day later, the Grizzlies won the Orlando Magic at home, which has completely entered the rebuilding period and is only 6 wins and 14 losses this season.

4 of the Magic's 5 starting 5 scored in double figures, but the efficiency was very low, basically relying on the scoring data piled up by shots.

Faced with such a fish-belly opponent, the Grizzlies will naturally not be soft-hearted. 97 to 85, the Grizzlies played steadily and won easily.

After this game, the Grizzlies officially won the 20th game of the season!

It's equivalent to playing a quarter of the regular season, but the Grizzlies still don't know what it's like to lose!

The 20-game winning streak also allowed the Grizzlies to surpass the "OK" Lakers who won 19-game winning streak in 2000. Together with the Bucks led by "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson in 1971, they became the winning streak in NBA history. The team with the fourth most games!

Link also performed well against the Magic, with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and his third triple-double this season.

Under the double explosion of the team's record and personal data, Link's call for this season's MVP has been getting louder and louder.

Although the season is only in December, Link's performance has already conquered most fans. He has met all the requirements to be a great player, last season he was 9 votes short, this season, he deserves to be at the top!

Link does not know whether he can successfully win the regular season MVP this season, after all, it is still a long time before the regular season ends. In the next half a year, anything is still possible.

But at the very least, Link will soon know whether he will become the All-Star ticket king this year.

Four days later, on December 13, the NBA will announce the results of the first round of voting for the 2014 New Orleans All-Star Game.

Link shocked the world last season when he came in ahead of Durant in the first round of voting, finishing third behind James and Kobe Bryant.

But this year, Link believes that even if he becomes the vote king, people will have no opinion.
