Nine Hundred and Thirty: Do Whatever You Want and Break the Record
Kobe quickly found the information he wanted.
The highest scoring record in a single game in the NBA All-Star Game belongs to Wilt. I am on every list. Chamberlain.
He scored 42 points in the 1962 All-Star Game, a record that still stands today.
Ranked second is Michael Jordan, the "god" who scored 40 points in the 1988 All-Star Game.
After that came Rick Barry, Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin's 38 points, Garnett's 37 points in 2003 and Kobe's 37 points in 2011.
These are all players in NBA history who can score more than 37 points in the All-Star Game.
According to Link's current performance, it is not impossible for him to score 42 points in this game.
Kobe looked at the court with interest. What would Link turn into?
After Link scored 5 points in a row, he calmed down a little.
After all, this is the All-Star Game, and everyone has the right to perform. This is not Link's show alone.
Harden and Curry seized the opportunity to hit three-pointers, and the Eastern Conference also began to counterattack in a big way.
But a few minutes later, Link took up the scoring banner again. As the historical vote king, Link was unequivocal today. And whenever he gets the ball, Madison Square Garden erupts with loud cheers.
"The whole world wants to see Link perform, and every offense he makes is a joy to watch. If it weren't for the fact that the Grizzlies were too strong and suppressed other teams, I believe no one would hate a player like Link."
While talking, Link succeeded in beating James in a back-up, adding to his scoring data again.
So far in the game, Link's hit rate is still 100%. Originally, there was no defense in the All-Star Game. Coupled with Link's own superior offensive stability, he was able to seize every hard-won shot opportunity with the highest efficiency.
After half the first quarter, Link was replaced by Cole. At this time, he had already scored 9 points.
If we continue playing like this, there is a great chance that Link will score over 40 points!
After Link came off the court, Cousins winked at Link.
The king's center's message is clear, "No matter when you play, you will get support!"
So as soon as the second quarter started, Cousins passed an alley-oop to Link!
It is common for people to see small men passing the ball to big men. But it is very rare for a big man to pass an alley-oop to a small man.
Cousins put his versatile skills on full display as he passed the ball accurately from beyond the three-point line, allowing Link to easily dunk.
Link himself became more and more excited as he played. He felt that his whole body was now full of strength. So after one round, Link did something that made all the fans in the audience scream loudly.
During an offense, Link cut in empty-handed and received a timely pass from Lillard.
With almost no one blocking him, Link worked hard and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.
But after dunking the basketball in, Link's head hit the basket...
This is actually a performance error.
After Link landed, he rubbed his forehead in embarrassment.
But no one laughed at Link. Not everyone can make a "mistake" like hitting his head against the basket.
"God, I don't know if Link really didn't control the angle, or if he just wanted to show off his jumping. He actually hit his head on the basket, it was really scary!"
"Yes, he was so excited today. Link has never been interested in the All-Star Game, but once he became interested, no one else had anything to do with it."
The entire first half of the All-Star Game was spent under Link's indiscriminate bombardment.
At first, fans and stars in the stands only occasionally stood up and cheered.
But in the second half of the second quarter, people's butts couldn't even touch the bench! Almost everyone was standing and watching Link's performance.
In the last 1.3 seconds of the second quarter, Link took a step forward from the midfield line and shot a buzzer-beating shot from a long distance. As a result, the basketball still hit the net incredibly hollow!
At that moment, it seemed like all the fans wanted to rush into the stadium. Link raised his right hand high and pointed at the big screen.
Above, Link's data was displayed directly on the big screen.
After that incredible long-distance three-pointer just now, Link had already scored 27 points at halftime! The 9 points in the first quarter were just a warm-up. Link scored 18 points in the second quarter, putting the spotlight on him alone.
The 27 points in the half were also the highest half-time score in the history of the NBA All-Star Game!
Previously, the All-Star Game half-time scoring record was jointly held by Kelly Irving last season and Glenn Rice in 1997.
No one thought that just one year later, Irving's record would be broken.
Now, everyone is talking about Link and how many points he can score. And, can I get the MVP?
During the halftime interview, Link also said bluntly, "I'm here to win the All-Star Game MVP today! If anyone wants to stop me, I'm very welcome!"
After saying this, Link also glanced meaningfully at Durant on the sidelines.
Durant wanted to stop Link, but there was really no way...
Kobe gritted his teeth on the sidelines, as if he was fighting on the court at this time.
17 years ago, it was here that Michael Jordan became the MVP of the All-Star Game. Kobe Bryant was "unkind" and guarded against Jordan in the All-Star Game.
Now, 17 years later, although Kobe cannot continue the glory of that year. But he is very happy to see a strong player whom he admits can continue the legend in the "Basketball Mecca"!
There is no doubt about Link's strength. Although he is not strong in confrontation in the All-Star Game, he is not very defensive. But without the support of strength, there is no way to score 27 points in the half.
Klay Thompson, who participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, is an example. He took 8 shots in half the game, which is a lot. But so far, Thompson's score is still 2 points.
Throughout the first half, Thompson made only 1 of 8 shots. Facts have proven that just by having the right to take action, you may not be able to get good data.
And what was Link's shooting percentage in the first half? 54.2%!
Such efficiency cannot be achieved by having too many shots. On the contrary, the more shots you have, the harder it is to maintain a high hit rate!
The power Link showed even amazed Kobe.
In the second half, Link continued to output. In order to worry about others, Link's score did not increase so fast in the second half. But in the third quarter, he still used three consecutive dunks to distance himself from others.
After the game entered the last five minutes of "real playing time", James started to defend seriously without any hesitation.
However, it was too late to think of containing Link at this time!
For the first goal in the fifth minute, James pressed closely and did not allow Link to make easy moves.
Although James has never had any conflicts or quarrels with Link, it does not mean that they are friends.
On the contrary, James is still Link's biggest enemy, and they are still the two most powerful contenders for the championship.
Therefore, James' defense against Link in the last five minutes was very tough.
But Link's condition has been completely broken, and it is completely impossible for James to contain it.
In the first attack in the fifth minute, Link forced a three-pointer against James' defense and hit again!
People even wondered whether Link installed a remote control inside the basketball. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so accurate!
A minute later, Harden struck the iron, and Link grabbed the offensive rebound from Drummond's head. Then he used a beautiful step to shake "Zhuang Shen" away from the basket and easily put the ball in.
After this goal, Link's score in this game has reached 41 points! It's only a few centimeters away from breaking Chamberlain's record!
"Link! Link! Link! Link!"
At this time, many fans in Madison Square Garden were chanting Link's name. Link's popularity in New York today is even higher than Anthony who plays at home.
In the All-Star game, which is an entertainment game, no one cares about winning or losing. People just want to watch the most powerful players put on the most exaggerated performances.
At this time, Link is undoubtedly the best to satisfy everyone's appetite.
Is there anything more worthwhile than witnessing a star break the All-Star single-game scoring record?
At this time, both Harden and Westbrook had given up resistance. Even Durant on the sidelines didn't have the same energy as yesterday.
Whether Link can break the scoring record is still unknown.
But Link winning the MVP is almost a sure thing...
James was frightened by Link's state. On the surface, it was just a performance, so Link could score as he pleased.
But James knows very well that he has not let go at all now! But even so, Link still does whatever he wants.
James really couldn't imagine what a disaster it would be if Link carried this state into the playoffs.
In the penultimate minute of the game, James was fully focused and was about to defend Link once.
He didn't want to deliberately prevent Link from breaking the record, but he really didn't want to see Link before it was too late.
As soon as Link passed halftime, James immediately leaned forward and refused to let Link catch the ball easily.
There is no doubt that this is the most serious round played by this All-Stars!
At this time, Lillard, who came off the bench, was in possession of the ball for the Western Team. Lillard was deliberately waiting for Link, so he didn't act rashly.
Link glanced at Lillard, then used James as his axis, suddenly turned around, got rid of his entanglement, and cut inside!
Whether Link is holding the ball or without the ball, he can easily get rid of the defense.
James followed immediately. Although he was temporarily escaped by Link, this did not mean that his defense had completely failed.
Lillard still has no space to pass the ball, and James is biting Link. But Link still pointed to the sky, signaling Lillard to throw the ball directly!
In Lillard's judgment, if this ball is passed to an alley-oop, there is no possibility of success.
But seeing Link so determined, Lillard had no choice but to do it!
So Lillard threw the ball directly into the air. This ball was passed very high, because if it was not passed higher, it would be intercepted by James.
Moreover, the angle of the basketball is also very far back. Although it is easier for Link to catch it in the front, it is also easier for James to grab it!
"This ball is impossible. Damien and Link were too hasty. The ball is high and behind. Even if Link catches it, it is impossible to score."
James thought the same way. It turns out that Link is not a god yet and he can be defended!
Where's Link? He didn't give up. The No. 0 forward still jumped high to reach the ball that seemed destined to fly out of bounds.
When Link jumped up, the basketball had already flown to the back of the basket.
This is completely a negative angle!
"This ball is impossible to catch, LeBron blocked every angle!"
Just as the commentator said it was impossible, he saw Link leaning back as far as he could in the air, catching the basketball, and then gently pushing the ball towards the basket with one hand.
Because his body leaned back at an excessive angle, Link fell directly to the floor.
What about basketball?
The basketball flipped directly back from behind the basket and then went hollow into the net.
"This..." James felt goosebumps all over his body. This may be the most incredible alley-oop he has ever seen.
Even Lillard who passed the ball to Link was stunned. He really didn't expect that Link could actually score this ball!
No one in the Portland Trail Blazers could catch that pass anyway.
The moment the basketball hit the net, the entire court was silent for a second, as if time had stopped.
However, that is just the "calm before the storm".
A second later, the whole place exploded. The number "43" was also printed on the big screen at Madison Square Garden.
Cousins excitedly ran to Link and picked him up from the ground.
The record that no one has been able to break since 1962 was finally rewritten by Link today! The All-Star half-time scoring record and the full-game scoring record were both collected by Link!
The whole world is dancing for Link, except Kevin Durant.
His current expression is more bitter than bitter gourd.
