Seven Hundred and Twelve: Return to the Dunk Itself
At the beginning of February, the Thunder and the Grizzlies presented fans with a hot enough matchup on this cold winter day.
The scene of Link's anti-lore was replayed over and over again by major TV stations. Many believe that even a few years later, this image will still be played out from time to time.
It must have been very sad for Durant during this time. As hot as Link is, he is as hot as he is. But Durant was on fire because he became one of the biggest backdrops in NBA history.
Link uses his own actions to write the perfect script that even Hollywood inspirational movies can't make up.
Against the Thunder, sanctioned the opponent with a lore, regained 10 consecutive victories, and created a historical record...
Nothing is more perfect than a game like this.
Link was not humble this time. In the past, Link actually didn't miss the past victories. After all, people always have to look forward. But this time, as long as a reporter interviewed, Link made no secret of his pride.
Anything that makes Durant uncomfortable, Link is more than happy to do it.
Link smashed the Thunder, and after his third 10-game winning streak this season, he has also won a record of 44 wins and 3 losses.
At this point, there are still more than 2 months before the end of the NBA regular season. But the Grizzlies are only 28 games away from the Bulls' 72-win record. Winning 28 of the remaining 35 games doesn't seem too difficult given the Grizzlies' winning percentage.
Therefore, everyone is now waiting for Link to perform another miracle - breaking the Bulls' 72-win record!
Before this season, the Bulls' 72-win record was considered one of the NBA's unbreakable records, tied with Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point record.
After all, among so many superstars in the NBA's history, the Bulls are the only team that has won 70+ games in a single season. It wasn't until the Grizzlies won 70 last season that the Bulls weren't so "lonely".
Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, James... All these greats, none of them even came close to the 72-win record. When the "OK duo" established a dynasty, the most winning season was only 67 wins.
But now, it seems only a matter of time before the Grizzlies beat the Bulls' 72 wins. As long as the Grizzlies don't have any major injuries in the past two months, there is basically no possibility of a rollover.
Even so, many people still can't believe the so-called "unbeatable" record.
There will be a day when it will be broken.
Now, every Grizzlies game is going to be a lot of attention. Because every time they win a game, they are one step closer to breaking history. Every time fans watch a Grizzlies game, they are witnessing history.
Link was right, what someone has done, they can do. And they can do what no one has ever done.
With surprised eyes and fervent anticipation, the Grizzlies continued their steady march after the game against the Thunder.
It's now February, and the All-Star Game is just a few days away.
The Grizzlies still have five games to play before the All-Star break. Against the Mavericks, Hawks, Cavaliers, Wizards and Magic respectively.
In five games, the Grizzlies have won four of them.
The only loss came to the Dallas Mavericks. That game was not because the Grizzlies were weak, but Nowitzki's performance was too strong.
As the last superstar who led the team to three 10-game winning streaks in a single season, Nowitzki seems to be deliberately accumulating energy to teach this junior like Link.
In the whole game, Nowitzki made 14 shots and hit 10 of them! But don't think Nowitzki is because he only hit the basket, the hit rate is so high. Among the 10 of 14 "German Tanks", it also included 3 of 4 from beyond the arc.
In the end, Dirk scored 26 points on 71.4 percent of his shots. The efficiency is so high that Link is far behind.
Dirk's efficiency combined with a five-man Mavs scoring in double figures gave the Grizzlies their only loss in five games.
But this loss is completely innocuous to the Grizzlies. Before the All-Star Game, they still ranked first in the league with a record of 48 wins and 4 losses. Most importantly, the Grizzlies still have a good chance of breaking the 72-win record.
But now, with the All-Star Game just around the corner, reporters and fans alike put the 72-win record behind for now.
At the press conference after the game with the Magic, when Link was interviewed by reporters, he found that the reporters' attention had all shifted to the All-Star Game.
"Congratulations, Link, you have won another big victory. The Orlando Magic are not your opponents at all. After losing to the Mavericks, the team has successfully achieved a wave of four consecutive victories. It seems that you even have the opportunity to do Four 10-game winning streaks in three seasons. But now, people obviously don’t care about winning streaks. Everyone is very curious, the dunk contest is coming, how are you preparing for your moves?”
The reporter's question after the game asked the voices of many fans.
Since Link announced his participation in the slam dunk contest earlier this year, the event has been in the spotlight. After that, George, Wall and Lillard also joined the battle, which made the slam dunk contest gain unprecedented attention since 2000.
And now, the game that fans have been looking forward to for more than a month is finally about to be staged.
Everyone started to make up their minds, what kind of anti-sky performance would those four people perform in the slam dunk contest. What 72 wins, what a winning streak, now all have to rank after the slam dunk contest.
Link looked at the reporter who asked the question and slightly raised the corner of his mouth. Why didn't Link himself look forward to this match? After waiting for so long, I can finally release it to the fullest in the slam dunk contest.
Link leaned forward and approached the microphone slowly. "During training, I tried several moves. But to be honest, I haven't decided which move to perform in the slam dunk contest. But I can guarantee you don't have to worry. The quality of my dunks, I'm happy to be loyal to bringing the dunk contest back to the dunk itself."
After Link finished speaking, he wanted to end his answer. But suddenly, he remembered a very interesting thing.
"By the way, instead of worrying about my dunk, you might as well worry about Bill Simmons. Tell him I'm ready, and I hope he's ready for his women's clothing. When I win the dunk contest, I will Hopefully the chic Ms. Bill will come and interview me in person."
Link ended his answer and leaned back in his chair. He found that the reporters also suddenly became bright-eyed.
The Slam Dunk Contest would not be perfect without Bill Simmons' womenswear!
Speaking of which, Bill Simmons has been silent for a long time. Link's battle with Durant a few days ago, he didn't say anything about it.
It is estimated that the guy Simmons is too anxious to write articles because he has been too anxious recently.
As the slam dunk contest draws closer, Simmons reckons he's more nervous than even Link.
Immediately after the press conference, efficient reporters hyped the topic.
The bet between Bill Simmons and Link made the already high-profile slam dunk contest even hotter.
But some reporters don't think Bill Simmons will be embarrassed. They think Simmons still has a chance.
"In the past week, we've seen news about George, Wall and Lillard getting ready for the slam dunk contest. And what about Link? No one saw him getting ready for the dunk contest. Maybe, Link just wanted to play. , didn't even think about winning. It's like Jordan, who created the lowest scoring record in the three-point contest, this kind of event is just seasoning for athletes of their level. Jordan is so embarrassing in the three-point contest, Still can't change his greatness. Link, even if he loses, he's still the best player this season. So, don't be nervous about Simmons, Link may not be serious at all."
This report is the most comfortable report Bill Simmons has read recently. Yes, maybe Link was just talking for fun and he didn't care.
But fans who know Link know that Link never jokes about victory, even if it's a slam dunk contest victory.
So one day after this report appeared, Link's eldest brother Zach Randolph revealed a thought-provoking news in an interview with reporters.
"Link didn't prepare for the slam dunk contest? Of course not, he was. Just...how to say? Link's preparation was different from everyone else. He didn't drive the car into the training hall, and he didn't wear anything strange. The cape to dunk. What he prepared was the most solid dunk action, and he put all his thoughts on the dunk itself. Like he said, he wanted the slam dunk contest to return to the dunk itself. Link is indeed not prepared. What a fancy show, when he dunks, what you see is the purest difficult dunk."
After Randolph finished speaking, he blinked at the camera.
Big Black Bear believed that when Link showed his moves in the slam dunk contest, the whole world would tremble with fear.
At least the first time he saw Link's dunks in the training hall, he was terrified.
