Six Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Set a Small Goal and Win Him Ten Games First

If you only set your sights on the Grizzlies-Bucks game in the fourth quarter, you must have felt that the game went without a hitch.

The Milwaukee Bucks trailed by 17 points in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.

Chasing 17 points from the Grizzlies in two minutes is almost impossible for the Bucks.

The camera swept across the Bucks' bench, and everyone sat lonely on the bench for a year with dull eyes.

So far this season, the Bucks have won only seven games. To put it harshly, they should get used to losing too. Losing to the Grizzlies, the league's No. 1, is no shame.

However, the Bucks seem to have experienced a humiliating defeat.

Brandon Knight draped a towel over his head, and no one could see his expression now.

Larry Drew sat in his seat as if in a daze. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. It stands to reason that he helped the team take another step towards the No. 1 pick.

But who wants to have a career full of failures on their resume?

Finally, the camera gives "Greek monster" Antetokounmpo a close-up.

Antetokounmpo's eyes were empty, and he didn't have the energy he should have at his age.

In fact, the process of this game is much more tortuous than what we are seeing now, and the Bucks are not behind in the beginning.

The reason why a team that is used to losing is so lonely today when faced with defeat again is because they were so close to winning.

Fans who only watch the game from the fourth quarter will not know that after the first quarter, the Bucks are still 6 points ahead of the defending champion!

In the second quarter, after Link started bombarding indiscriminately, the Bucks still stabilized the situation at halftime, only 5 points behind.

But by the third quarter, the Bucks could no longer resist.

Link always plays a few minutes and then takes a break, but the few minutes he's on the floor can be a complete disaster for the Bucks.

In the entire third quarter, Link scored 11 points in a single quarter, including a performance of 9 points in a row, which completely destroyed the confidence of the Bucks.

They clearly realize that

How big is the gap between himself and the first in the league. And this gap is insurmountable.

Bucks want to give the Grizzlies a two-game losing streak? Just a fool's dream.

In the fourth quarter, the Bucks, who had lost their confidence in resistance, were thrown away by the Grizzlies. Although the process is full of thorns, the end result is still pretty much as expected.

The Milwaukee Bucks are no match for the Memphis Grizzlies!

Antetokounmpo scored 15 points and 6 rebounds today, plus a block on Link.

Not bad for a rookie outside the lottery. Moreover, he blocked Link's goal, and it is estimated that he can be selected as one of the top five today.

But compared with Link's 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Antetokounmpo's data becomes insignificant.

By the way, Link cut those numbers in only 27 minutes of playing time, and he barely played in the fourth quarter. The high efficiency can be known.

Link didn't lie to Dave Jogel, it's more than enough to get the Bucks in 30 minutes!

The Greeks are quite depressed now, and Link, who is physically weak, has completely knocked him out. He didn't know how big the gap between him and Link was.

And after today, Antetokounmpo no longer looks forward to meeting Link on the court.

Would he be happy to be with Link in private or on the training ground, but play against Link?

Forget it, it's not really interesting at all.

There is only endless oppression!

The phantom brilliance, the mighty daring and the gritty determination... Just thinking about it makes Antetokounmpo feel so frustrated.

Eventually, an electronic beep sounded inside the Bradley Center. At this time, only about half of the seats in the arena were still occupied.

The rest, all left as early as the third quarter.

95 to 102, the Milwaukee Bucks failed to upset, they almost only played halftime.

In other words, Link played a good shot for less than 30 minutes and wiped out the Bucks.

At the end of the game, Link dragged his tired body to his feet and clapped loudly.

This game looks easy to win, but it's really not easy to play.

Everyone was exhausted, including Link. Although Link only played for less than 30 minutes today, it is also physical work to focus on bursting out for a period of time.

The Grizzlies were all celebrating, and everyone had a feeling of escaping death.

Fortunately, this game was bitten off. It would be a shame if the Bucks, who were at the bottom of the league, broke the record of unbeaten streak.

Link akimbo, although the scene was a little deserted, but it did not prevent him from enjoying the victory.

Antetokounmpo was walking towards Link again, and of course, the Greeks' winning streak was a little less joyful this time.

"You're amazing, Link. I've tried my best, but you look so easy."

"Me? Easy? Hahaha, I'm not playing easy, okay? I'm exhausted. Come on, Giannis. You have a lot of potential, trust me. When you're in your fourth year of your career , you will be as good as I am."

"I'll work hard!" Antetokounmpo replied solemnly, as if this was a task given to him by Link.

Link smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Antetokounmpo to hurry back to rest.

Watching a future superstar be obedient like a child, I have to say, this feeling is quite refreshing.

Although Antetokounmpo was defeated, for Link, this game was not enough for him to vent all the aggrieved emotions in his heart.

Losing to Durant is not something that can be appeased by beating a team at the bottom of the league.

Until now, Link can't help clenching his fists when he thinks of the scenes from last night.

Sometimes you lose a game and want ten wins to make up for it.

Ten games... Link smiled, so happily decided.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters' questions not only related to today's game, but also more or less related to yesterday's tragic loss.

There is no doubt that the heat of yesterday's game has not dissipated. The grudge between the Grizzlies and the Thunder is still a topic that reporters talk about.

Reporters were more than willing to ask Link the question "How did you feel about losing to Durant twice in a row" in 20 different ways.

"Yesterday's loss is really regrettable, after all, it broke our winning streak. But it doesn't matter, where we fell before, we stood up where we were."

In the face of Link's answer, a reporter from the Oklahoma City Thunder began to challenge, "Stand up from where you fell? When you lost to the Thunder, you were on a ten-game winning streak. You mean, can you win a ten-game winning streak in the future?"

"Why not? We have the strength."

"Oh, you probably don't know what that concept is, Mr. Lin! You say you have 10 straight wins, which means you think the Grizzlies can get three 10-game winning streaks this season! Then I'll tell you , Only 4 teams in NBA history can achieve 10 consecutive victories three times in a single season! Even the Bulls in 1996 couldn't accomplish this feat! Now, do you know what you're talking about?"

The Oklahoma City reporter was showing off his might, and he must have thought he had fooled Link.

As everyone knows, Link just smiled slightly, "I really don't know this record, after all, unlike you, I only treat basketball as a numbers game. But since 4 teams have done it before, what's so difficult? ?"

"Then let's see, is it difficult?" The Oklahoma City reporter was full of confidence, he believed that Link would pay the price for his arrogance this time.

After the press conference, the Oklahoma City reporter took a special look at the Grizzlies' opponents in the next nine games.

After he looked at the schedule, he realized that Link was a drunkard, not drinking!

If the Grizzlies have been going well, they do win their 9-game winning streak. Then the 10th opponent of the Grizzlies is precisely the Thunder!

That's what Link meant when he said where he fell and then stood up again. That guy Link has long wanted to get his 10-game winning streak back from the Thunder!

But after reading the schedule, the Oklahoma City reporter felt more relieved.

Because he believed that Durant and the Thunder would not let Link succeed!

The most exciting battle before the All-Star Game has entered the countdown.
