Seven Hundred and Twenty-Four: What About the Link People?
Just after the All-Star Game ended, the fans were numb from being bombarded by Link.
The bloodbath at Madison Square Garden was not something that should have come as a surprise to fans. After all, the Knicks have to go through a few bloodbaths every season.
But Link's bloodbath last night was too "complete".
The first player to score a 50-plus triple-double at Madison Square Garden, and the first player to have two 50-plus triple-doubles in a single season.
Link broke two historical records in one breath, which made people sigh.
Larry Bird was the last player who could do this in the fourth grade. And after Byrd? No, even LeBron James didn't explode like that.
It was clear that the heat of the dunk contest had not dissipated, and Link pushed himself into another craze.
At the beginning of the season, when ESPN selected Link as the top 50 star of the new season, Link suffered a lot of doubts.
But now, when ESPN put Link at the No. 1 spot on the MVP rankings, few objected.
Judging from Link's current performance, he is indeed worthy of such an honor. Even if the MVP trophy is directly awarded to him now, it is estimated that few people have an opinion.
You know, under the circumstances of individual performance bursting, the Grizzlies have won 49 games so far this season!
In one more game, the Grizzlies will get their 50th win of the season.
50 wins, which means enough to make the playoffs even in the competitive West. As long as the Grizzlies win the next game again, even if they don't win a game for the next two months, they still have a playoff berth.
It's never happened before that a playoff spot can be determined early on right after the All-Star Game.
But it was these incredible things that highlighted Link's greatness.
In the last two months of the regular season, everyone wanted to see what miracles Link could create.
72 wins? Beyond 72 wins? To set another record that is almost impossible to break?
All are looking forward to it!
Except for one person, he has been waiting for the last game of the regular season with Link since the All-Star Game!
He is very willing to play the role of the stumbling block on Link's soaring path.

On February 20, 2012, the first national broadcast game after the All-Star Game officially started in Oklahoma City.
Heat VS Thunder, although the two sides played in the finals is a matter of last season. But until now, the two teams are still considered each other's imaginary enemies in the finals.
Unlike last season's 66 wins, this season, the Miami Heat's offensive is relatively gentle.
So far in the regular season, the Heat have a record of only 38 wins and 14 losses. While the Grizzlies are getting close to their 50th win of the season, the Heat are two games short of their 40th.
However, everyone can see that the Heat and James were holding back in the regular season and did not use their full strength. They don't plan to release this energy in advance,
They want to put all their energy into the playoffs.
So, even with a less intimidating record, the Heat are still considered one of the strongest teams in the league.
When two powerful teams collide, they can naturally get the treatment of the national live broadcast level.
Today, James gathered everyone in the locker room before the game and made a simple speech. He hopes that everyone will do their best in this game and make this game a playoff.
This season, the trend of the league's "strong west and weak east" is still very obvious. Except for the Heat and Pacers, the strength of other teams in the top eight in the east is almost broken compared with the top eight in the west.
Therefore, there are not many opportunities for the Heat to gain experience in the East. Most of the opponents they faced were quite average in strength.
It is rare to encounter a strong team now. Of course, James hopes that the team can go all out to see what the Heat can do.
James thought that as long as the Heat exerted all their strength, they would be able to kill the Thunder as easily as they did two years ago.
But today's game made James break out in a cold sweat!
"Kevin Durant dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line and shot straight away! LeBron never thought that Kevin's shot would be so decisive. His block was half a beat slower. For Durant, this is The space is completely enough! Kevin Durant continues to score, and the Thunder has widened the point difference to double digits!"
Inside the Chesapeake Energy Arena, fans cheered and commentators chanted for Durant's great performance.
James covered his head in chagrin, because this was the 28th point Kevin Durant scored on top of his head!
Durant's excellent state obviously made James less prepared.
From the beginning of the game today, Durant did not give James a chance to breathe.
That No. 35 seemed quite angry, eager to wipe out all the opponents in front of him.
After being raped, James looked at the big screen at the scene and gritted his teeth. He knew that he was in bad luck today.
In the last five minutes of the game, Durant did not let up his offensive. On the defensive end, he risked James and made the Heat miss key offenses. On the offensive end, Durant scored recklessly with superb shooting, making James only shake his head and sigh again and again.
Three minutes later, Spoelstra replaced all the Big Three in a loss. He couldn't believe that his team would be thrown into garbage time!
"The unstoppable Kevin Durant, 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists! Kevin beat LeBron this time, and his performance will definitely make the Miami Heat nervous! If the Heat are in this state in the finals When they meet Thunderbolt, they are finished!"
The commentator yelled at the end of the game and looked at the score again to make sure he wasn't dazzled.
81 to 103, the visiting team is in front and the home team is behind. The Thunder beat the Heat by as much as 22 points at home! This is not a dream, this is what happened in the past 48 minutes!
Not only is there a huge gap between the Heat and the Thunder, but there is also a huge gap in the individual performances of Durant and James today.
Durant's 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists are unmatched, while James' 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists are obviously inferior.
Beyond the three-point line, James made 1 of 6 shots today. As far as this game is concerned, James was completely destroyed by Durant!
After the battle with the Heat, Durant was out of control. He is very clear in his heart that he can't be complacent yet, this is just the beginning!
On February 23, Thunder VS Clippers, another strong duel.
In this game, the Clippers' sixth man, Jamal Crawford, performed brilliantly, making 13 of 20 shots and scoring a team-high 36 points.
That's right, 36 points is just the Clippers' highest score. Because today's highest score in the game is Kevin Durant who blasted 42 points!
Durant continued his excellent performance against the Heat in the last game. The wheel defense of Matt Barnes and Dudley did not play any role on Durant.
Under the leadership of Durant, the Thunder scored 125 points in the fourth quarter and won the game.
Three days later, on February 26, All-Star MVP Kelly Irving came to Oklahoma confidently, ready to challenge Durant.
However, in the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers, a team on the fringes of the playoffs, Durant still has no mercy.
37 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 62.5% shooting! Durant used an efficient quasi-triple-double to destroy Irving's fragile team.
So far, the Thunder have won three straight after the All-Star Game. And in three games, Durant performed well.
After the game against the Cavaliers, Durant finally couldn't wait to say what he had wanted to tell the world for a long time, "I want to play Link now, I can't wait. The next game will be when we The last match of the game, and I promise I'll keep it in his memory."
In an instant, everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that in the first three games, Durant worked so hard to prepare for the fourth fight against Link.
No one knows what kind of sparks the two sides will wipe out when Durant meets the Grizzlies again in the next game.
"It seems that Kevin is in a very angry mood now. Maybe since the last time he was beaten by Link, Kevin has been in a bad mood. He has gone completely mad, and he has killed James, Paul and Irving, none of them can even slow Durant. The only one who can stop him right now is Link. So, what about the Links?"
After the interview, David Aldridge ended the live broadcast of the game between the Thunder and the Cavaliers with a meaningful question.
What about the Link people?
FedEx Arena in Memphis at 10 p.m.
Link walked into the shower panting, sweating all over.
"Link, let's go, I don't want to be scolded." In the locker room, old Billy, the security guard in charge of locking the door of the training hall today, was urging Link to leave.
In order to prevent players from overtraining, Dave Jogel requires the doors of the training hall to be locked at 8 o'clock every night. That is to say, even if the players have to practice more, it will be up to 8 o'clock at most.
But today, Link said no matter what. Old Billy had no choice but to accompany Link to watch him train.
In fact, Link has rarely stayed in the training hall so late since last season. After all, for an athlete of his level, sometimes rest is more important than training.
But today Link was very abnormal, and he didn't seem to want to be disturbed by anyone or anything.
Finally, at ten o'clock, Link suddenly stopped what he was doing and walked into the locker room.
"Don't worry Billy, I'll go back right away. I'm embarrassing you today, hehe, I'll give you five tickets tomorrow as compensation for you." Link smiled apologetically while taking a shower.
"Five tickets? You know, because of your record, the Grizzlies aren't cheap now, they're not as cheap as they were back then. The price of five games at FedEx Arena two years ago is now just enough for one. What? You don't want to trade five expensive tickets for five nights of overtraining, right? I won't let you do that again, Link." Old Billy was taken aback, if What went wrong with Link, he couldn't be held responsible.
"Don't worry, I don't need five nights of overtraining, never again. Even if someone asks me to train so late, I won't do it."
"Then why do you have to train until this time today?" The more old Billy thought about it, the more strange it became.
"Well..." Link smiled. "Tonight is special, Billy."
Of course Link wouldn't tell old Billy that the reason why he had to train so abnormally so late today was for the reminder that only he could see.
"Grant Hill's abilities have been superimposed in the 00-01 season."
