Eight Hundred and Sixty-Nine: Triple-Double at Halftime

After the first quarter, the Heat were almost destroyed.

Although the 14-point difference is not an insurmountable gap.

But with Spoelstra running out of moves, it would be difficult for him to get back even if he was only 2 points behind.

Let the Grizzlies shoot? That 60% shooting rate in the first quarter is the end!

Let Link play solo without shrinking? Luol Deng will be beaten to autism.

Currently, with the Heat's existing personnel reserves, they are unable to make any effective adjustments.

Spoelstra decided to bet on the Grizzlies' touch. He believed that the Grizzlies' high shooting percentage in the first quarter was entirely due to their good touch.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Luol Deng assisted McRoberts for a dunk. It seems that this is the beginning of the Heat's counterattack.

But in the end, people discovered that what they thought was the beginning was already the end.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies' mid-to-long-range shooting performance remained solid.

Even Carter, who came off the bench, severely punished the Heat's defense with shots.

The Grizzlies' shooting percentage remains high, always above 60%.

Finally, in the fifth minute of the second quarter, when the Grizzlies widened the point difference to 20 points, Spoelstra compromised.

"Restore man-to-man defense and don't give them any more shooting opportunities!"

The Filipino coach knew that doing so would be close to suicide. Unless the Heat also play an offense that can match Link's, the 20-point difference will basically be impossible to catch up with.

On the other side, Dave Joerger also predicted the changes that Spoelstra will make. He looked at Link, and before he spoke, Link smiled and said, "Don't worry, our losing streak will not increase anymore."

Link is ready to step back onto the court, and from now on, he takes over the game!

In the Heat's first attack after returning from the timeout, McRoberts' layup was chased by Link.

McRoberts is not a fourth position with great passing vision, so after receiving a pass from Luol Deng, he only had eyes for the basket.

He thought that a small character like himself would not be targeted by Link, but in the end, Link told him how wrong he was with a chase.

The Heat clearly changed back to man-to-man on their subsequent defense.

So Link took advantage of the screen and drove straight in. Under Bosh's weak resistance, he succeeded in the dunk!

"Holy shit, there's no mercy..." Seeing the once-dominated "Dragon King" being ravaged by Link at will, Hubie Brown felt that it was really miserable.

Link felt that his body was full of power, which was probably the dividend brought by being in the best condition.

First he caught Wade, and now he dunked Bosh. Link felt like he was completely omnipotent today!

The 22-point difference was firmly on the Heat, and they were almost unable to recover.

But at least until the end of this half, Link will not stop.

After this goal, Link has already scored 13 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

If there is any data that Link has been unable to obtain until now,

That's a mistake.

Hubie Brown looked at Link's data sheet and then at the game time.

"Maybe Link can get a triple-double in half the game?"

"Ah!?" Chris Webber next to him was startled when Hubie Brown said this suddenly.

A full-court triple-double is a very difficult thing, but a half-court triple-double...

Weber swallowed, Link's comeback battle seemed to be perfect.

The biggest problem now is rebounding. It is not easy to grab five rebounds in seven minutes.

But just one round later, Link added a number to his rebounding statistics.

That was Gasol's free throw. After making the first free throw, the Spaniard took his second free throw.

As a result, on the second free throw, Gasol's shot bounced twice on the basket.

Just when everyone was waiting under the basket for the basketball to fall, Link suddenly rushed out and dunked the ball the moment it slipped!

The perfect combination of speed and bounce is vividly demonstrated by Link.

This goal was very similar to Allen Iverson's free throw dunk back then, but there was no way Iverson could record a triple-double at halftime.

The point difference was further widened, and Spoelstra had already fallen to the bench.

This game was a complete one-sided massacre.

When James was there, the Heat couldn't compete with Link. After James was gone, Link became even more lawless.

In this way, Link began his lawless performance.

Four minutes before the end of the second quarter, Link stole Cole's pass to Wade, quickly counterattacked, and then made a ground pass to assist Conley for a layup, his eighth assist.

In the next round, McRoberts hit a three-pointer and Link collected his seventh rebound.

After grabbing the rebound, Link counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt. Jimmy Butler received the basketball and pushed past Wade to attack the frame.

This time, Wade failed to stop the young Butler, and Link assisted for the ninth time!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen, paying attention to the data on it.

The point difference between the two teams is no longer important. What is important is every technical statistic of Link.

Every time Link's data increases, the fans will cheer excitedly.

Every time Link's data increased, Spoelstra's heart would be hit hard.

It wasn't until 2.3 seconds before the end of the second quarter that Link hit his 23rd point of the game with a back-turn jumper under Luol Deng's defense. A new record in team history was born.

"Triple-double, triple-double! Cheers, Link had a triple-double in half the game. This is the first time in the history of the Grizzlies! Incredible, his comeback really left the Heat helpless!" Hubie Breen Eyes widened.

With 23 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, Link recorded a beautiful triple-double in just half a game!

Although it had long been known that Link would end the first half with a triple-double, everyone felt incredible when the whistle actually sounded to end the first half.

When the miracle actually happens, no one can remain calm.

A half-time triple-double, this is not just a historical record for the Grizzlies.

Throughout the entire history of the NBA, since statistics have been collected, such a thing has only happened three times!

Bird in 1987, Kevin Johnson in 1997 and Kidd in 2010 are the few players who can achieve a half-court triple-double.

LeBron James, who is known as the all-rounder, cannot hit a triple-double in half a game!

But Link did something that only a very few people could do.

After half the game, the Heat were already 26 points behind, and the Grizzlies still shot 59%.

But all these statistics pale in comparison to Link's half-court triple-double!

During halftime, Link was invited to be interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"Half-time triple-double, this is a very remarkable achievement! Tell me, Link, how did you do it! Is this related to Draymond Green's provocation?"

Link scratched his head, not very excited, as if he could get a triple-double with just a little effort, "Draymond Green? What does this have to do with him? As we all know, he is trash! He Can his numbers compare to mine? Obviously, I can’t focus on someone like him.”

Link spread his hands with disdain on his face.

After this time, no one will dare to mention data in front of Link.
