Seven Hundred and Eleven: Entering the Ranks of Great Players
The scene of Durant bowing to the stands in advance did not become a classic scene of pretending, but the scene of Link bowing to him is destined to be recorded in history.
When the buzzer sounded and the red lights flashed on the backboard, most Thunder fans stared, not terribly disappointed.
Because they haven't reacted at all to what happened!
They had just celebrated the victory before the last timeout. The result now? what is this? Link stuck his hand into their pockets and took away the victory he had put in his pockets!
Thunder fans, like Durant, were stunned. One second of heaven, one second of hell. By the time Thunder fans figured out what happened, it was over.
After Link bowed very "gently" to Durant, he was hugged by his excited teammates.
This time, not only the players, but even Jorge and Snyder in suits and ties, all hugged the players without hesitation.
The excited crowd was right in front of Durant and Westbrook. The two looked at each other and found that the other could not close their mouths.
"How did he do it?" Durant asked Westbrook after a long time.
Westbrook shook his head in a dazed look, his soul had not come back.
Link finally smiled after being hugged by his teammates. He has said that 2 seconds is enough time, nothing to be nervous about.
The frenzied celebration of the Grizzlies players continued, and the Thunder players walked into the tunnel one by one in dejection.
The most embarrassing thing is Durant, who celebrated the victory in advance. He was so embarrassed just now, and now he is so embarrassed.
Countless cameras surrounded Durant, just to capture him in a state of embarrassment.
This is the NBA, this is the superstar in the spotlight. Win and countless people will praise you. But if you lose, you have nowhere to run.
O'Neal sat on the commentary stand, his chest rising and falling rapidly, as if he had just played a game for a while.
Of course, O'Neal wasn't tired. He was panting so much because O'Neal even forgot to breathe at the moment when Link shot the ball.
"God, am I not dreaming?" O'Neal patted his huge head and looked at his two partners.
"I'm afraid this is not a dream,
Shaq. Durant thinks it's a dream more than you think, but it's the hard truth. Link used a difficult step-back jumper, two steps from the arc, to forcibly kill the game under the double interference of Durant and Westbrook. I know, this sounds so bizarre. But spectators, this is how the game ends. "
Kevin Harlan's tone is much calmer now, he has calmed down.
But when he calmed down and carefully recollected the ball just now, he felt even more terrifying.
The moment Link completed the lore, everyone just kept yelling. But few people care, how difficult that ball is!
To be honest, the Thunder's defense is the ultimate. Durant and Westbrook pressed step by step, leaving no space for Link, and the Thunder made no mistakes.
But the terrible thing is that even if the Thunder have done so much, they still can't stop Link from scoring.
After Kevin Harlan carefully recalled the ball just now, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Who can really stop him this season?
After Link celebrated with his teammates, the Thunder players had long since disappeared.
For Link, this is undoubtedly a pity. Just giving Durant a bow, Link is far from being satisfied.
Link then looked at the stands again and found that many Thunder fans were sitting in their seats, as if they could not accept the loss of the game.
Link smiled, it was right that he couldn't accept it. Only in this way can the previous two accounts be fully settled.
Reporters began to pour towards Link. If it was just now, the protagonists of this game were Link and Durant. Then after that extremely difficult lore, the protagonist of this game instantly became Link alone.
No one remembers the losers, that's the rules of competitive sports.
"Congratulations, Link, you just finished a perfect anti-lore! People are taking your anti-lore against the Pacers in 1994 with Kukoc's shot against the lore. What do you think , compared to your anti-lore strike and that classic anti-lore kill, which one is more exciting?"
The reporter congratulated Link as soon as he came up, and Link believed they had intended to leave the word to Durant before the last timeout.
"I don't know, it's up to the fans to judge whether it's good or not. But we all do the same thing, that is, tell everyone. Don't feel safe until the last second is over!"
Link made no secret of his proud expression, and was able to complete the anti-lore on the head of the mortal enemy. Such an opportunity is rare. Most importantly, Link also seized the opportunity.
With this capital, it is natural to have a good show under Durant's eyes.
"This shot of yours is worth a thousand dollars, in addition to pulling the Grizzlies back from the edge of the cliff to help the team beat the Thunder. You also used that shot to get the Grizzlies 10 straight wins! You did it, from the Thunder The team regained 10 consecutive victories. At the same time, the Grizzlies also became the fifth team in NBA history to obtain 10 consecutive victories three times in a single season. All this is because of that shot. For making history, Do you have anything to say?"
After the reporter said this, Link remembered that there was still a historical record. When he just shot, Link didn't think much of it at all, he just wanted to win.
If he thought so much at the time, he might not have made the shot.
Three 10-game winning streaks in a single season is indeed a remarkable record. The earliest team that could get three 10+ consecutive victories in a single season was the Bucks in the 1970-71 season. At that time, the Bucks had two superstars, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and "Big O" Oscar Robertson. They had 16, 10 and 20 straight victories, respectively, that season.
The second team that can achieve three ten-game winning streaks in a single season is the Philadelphia 76ers led by "Dr. J" Julius Irving. At that time, Irving averaged 24.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, which explained the true meaning of an all-around small forward.
After Irving, this record has been blank for many years, even the 72-win Bulls have not done it, until the appearance of that horrible big guy.
That's right, the third team with three ten-game winning streaks in a single season was the Lakers in the 1999-00 season. O'Neal was in its prime at that time, and Kobe Bryant gradually became a first-line superstar in the league. The beginning of the "OK" dynasty started from that time.
The last team that was able to hit 10 consecutive victories three times in a single season was the Mavericks in the 2006-07 season, who won two 12-game winning streaks and one 13-game winning streak. Although the Mavericks had a very tragic ending that season and suffered a black eight, Dirk Nowitzki was indeed worthy of the title of MVP that year.
Throughout the history of the previous four teams that can achieve three 10-game winning streaks in a single season, they all have one thing in common, that is, the great superstars in the team played a great season!
When the 32-year-old "Big O" was no longer as brave as he used to be, Abdul-Jabbar carried the Bucks to the championship. The legendary season of Julius Irving set the record for the legendary 76ers. The powerful performances of O'Neal and Nowitzki have allowed this ancient record to be reproduced in the 21st century.
And now, Link used an extreme lore to bring the Grizzlies into the ranks of three 10-game winning streaks in a single season.
Will he be able to put up an astonishing season like his predecessors? Everyone is looking forward to it.
At least for now, Link's performance this season is legendary enough.
He has stepped into the ranks of the great superstars with one foot!
"It's great to be able to hit the record, and I've said before that since four teams have been able to do it before, so can we. Even some things that no one has ever been able to do, we can do it. Of course, the most Happy to still win the game. We gave the Thunder a powerful blow, and they wanted a championship like crazy. But before we fell, they had to rely on it.”
After Link finished speaking, he smiled and turned to leave.
The historical record is only a subsidiary reward, and defeating the Thunder is the biggest gain today.
Link's answer was arrogant, but what could the reporters say?
The winner is to have arrogant capital.
