885: Do You Believe the Record I Broke Along the Way? (Thursday/Friday)

It wasn't until the electronic buzzer sounded that Link's murderous expression finally calmed down.

Link stood there, breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.

In the past five minutes, Link didn't feel tired at all.

He has only one belief in his heart - score, score, score again!

It was only now, when it was all over, that a wave of exhaustion flooded into Link.

"We win, we win!" Gasol was the first to rush forward and hugged Link, very excited.

Link's scoring performance in overtime, not to mention Popovich and Spurs fans, even the Grizzlies were stunned!

This is not the first time that Link has burst out suddenly, but it is amazing that he can still burst out such terrifying power in a desperate situation.

Subsequently, more and more Grizzlies players gathered around, surrounding Link in the middle.

During the celebration, Link vaguely heard someone shouting, "You broke another record, you broke another record!"

"What!?" Link was confused. What do you mean by breaking another record?

It was not until later in the interview that Link learned that his 17 points today were the highest personal score in overtime in NBA history!

If the commentators hadn't mentioned these unpopular historical records, no one would have thought of them at all.

Maybe people are familiar with records like Chamberlain's 100 in a single game and the Grizzlies' 74 wins in a single season.

But no one checks records like the highest score in overtime every day. Who has nothing to do to check these records every day?

Therefore, Link had no idea that 17 points was a record-breaking score.

"Link, another league record. Tell me, what does it feel like to break league records consecutively?"

"If I had known, I would have made a three-pointer on the last shot, so that the record would be one more point..." Link muttered quietly, regretting it very much.

Although Link will not deliberately pursue data and records, if there is an opportunity to improve historical data, Link is still quite willing to try.

"What did you say?" The reporter tilted his head, and Link came back to his senses.

"Uh... I mean, thanks to the San Antonio Spurs, if they hadn't been able to finish the game in regulation, I wouldn't have had a chance to break the record. Well, that's it."

Link's answer was full of sarcasm. Yes, the Grizzlies' shooting percentage was so low today, and the Spurs couldn't end the game.

If you didn't seize the opportunity given to you, then don't blame me for seizing the opportunity that belongs to me.

Link's answer made countless Spurs fans waiting in front of the TV gnash their teeth. Even if they lost the game, they had to be verbally humiliated by that guy. It was a double shame!

Knowing that he not only scored a triple-double for the eighth consecutive game but also broke the overtime scoring record, Link was in a great mood.

Unexpected joy is the easiest thing to make people happy.

Even if a few thousand yuan is paid on the day of pay, the joy is not as great as accidentally finding fifty yuan from the pocket of the clothes that have just been hung to dry.

Link originally just wanted to win today, but unexpectedly left his name in a league record.

This joy is simply self-evident.

So much so that at the subsequent press conference, Link, who was in a good mood, also performed well and made a lot of flirtatious remarks.

"I said, my goal is just to win. The record for the highest personal score in overtime is just a passing achievement and not worth mentioning."

"How does it feel to get your eighth consecutive triple-double, leaving Jordan and Robertson behind? It feels nothing, just like yesterday. Because, soon this number will become nine. Then, don't ask me again. What does it feel like to have a triple-double in the ninth consecutive game?"

"How do you evaluate Danny Green's three-pointer? I don't know. Did he score a three-pointer on my head? No, so I can't comment at all."

The entire press conference turned into a large-scale show-off scene for Link.

Bird, Wade, Jordan and other generation-defying kings will probably have to bow down after watching this press conference.

Link was so shameless when he spoke!

Many local reporters in San Antonio can’t stand listening anymore, but they have no choice but to listen even if they can’t stop!

Who makes Link the winner?

In the world of competitive sports, winners’ farts taste good.

Finally, a reporter asked Link about questions related to Bill Simmons, "Link, Bill Simmons said before the game that even if you get praise from Jordan, it doesn't mean you are really close to Jordan. But after the game, you It immediately broke the record. How do you rate Simmons?"

"Old Bill? Oh my gosh, I thought he was fired because I haven't heard anything funny from him in a long time. I love his jokes, and like this one, they were just as funny."

"Uh...Bill Simmons is not a joke, he is a columnist for ESPN." The reporter who asked the question did not realize that Link was mocking, so he reminded Link of Simmons' identity seriously.

This contrasting cuteness created a stronger comedy effect, causing some reporters present to burst into laughter.

Link saw that this reporter was so "honest", so he took advantage of it, "Really!? Oh my God, Bill is actually an ESPN columnist, so how did he say those completely irrelevant things? Is ESPN so short of columnists? If Bill doesn't understand basketball, then listen to the advice of professional players. For example, Michael Jordan. Jordan said that Link is excellent, so just follow it and don't say anything else. Remember, don't go against Jordan next time Yes."

After Link finished speaking, he winked at the reporters.

Bill Simmons, who was watching the live broadcast, almost punched the monitor. If it weren't for fear of hurting his hand, he might have actually done that.

Michael Jordan's praise for Link was all reflected in tonight's game.

Bill Simmons' rebuttal seemed funny and unreasonable in the face of Link's actual actions.

On the Internet, countless fans have begun to criticize Simmons for his unreliable statement.

This time, Link probably won't hear Simmons' voice for a while.

After a night that was bitter and then sweet, Link was finally able to relax.

After this game, the Grizzlies will get a day to breathe. The day after tomorrow, December 19, the Grizzlies will face the Bulls at home.

However, that game shouldn't cause much trouble for the Grizzlies.

The Bulls' record of 16 wins and 9 losses so far this season cannot be said to be bad, but with Rose playing intermittently, the Bulls are indeed not a strong team.

This kind of opponent will not put too heavy a psychological burden on people.

Link lay contentedly on the hotel bed and was about to fall asleep when he was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone.

"Link, you played well tonight, congratulations! I didn't mean to disturb your rest, but...where's your canvassing video!?" Jeff Austin's anxious voice came from the phone.

"Huh? What the hell?" Link looked confused, canvassing for votes? I didn't participate in the talent show.

"What a canvassing video for the All-Star voting! Both Stephen Curry and LeBron James have posted it, and the number of clicks on the video is not low. They are coming hard this year! Especially Curry, he is simply the new favorite in the Western Conference this year. King! The results of the first round of voting will come out tomorrow. You don’t want to fall behind, do you? You are the vote king, and you must be the vote king!”

"Oh, All-Star..." Link shook his head. The recent Grizzlies games were so intensive that he had forgotten about All-Star voting.

Being the All-Star vote winner is quite important to Link.

The top vote itself is not a big honor, and the top vote also means greater commercial value.

Link had tasted all these sweetness last year. Naturally, no one wants to throw away the benefits that have been obtained.

But...is canvassing really necessary?

Link smiled and said, "It's okay Jeff, I believe that what I have done recently is more effective than the canvassing video. I won't say anymore, I am too sleepy today. Let's see the results tomorrow."

Link shrugged, isn't he just the top vote-getter? Isn't that just given away if he plays well in the game?
