1093: Link's Quadruple-Double and Westbrook's Embarrassing Double-Double
In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Link stood in front of Westbrook.
At this time, the score difference between the two sides had reached 24 points, and Link had scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, triple-double data.
In contrast, Westbrook, who averaged triple-double, has only 17 points, 4 rebounds, 0 assists and 9 turnovers!
If Link can defend Westbrook this round, then the possibility of the Thunder turning around is already very slim.
The personal showdown between Link and Westbrook will also end with Link winning a complete victory.
However, at this time, all the fans were still watching Link attentively. The atmosphere at the scene was still very lively, as if the game was still very anxious.
All the players on the Grizzlies' bench also stood up, looking nervous.
They all knew that this round, Link was likely to break the record that had been sealed for 22 years!
On the court, Link was meticulous. In fact, he was not thinking about the four-double thing now.
Link knows very well that the more you want to brush a data, the less you can get it. You can’t play with the mentality of brushing data. Everything will go naturally and the data will naturally come up.
It’s like many players always try their best to win the 10th when they get 9 assists.
The result is that they will pass the ball for the sake of passing the ball and miss real opportunities.
Westbrook gasped, knowing that he had lost his reputation today.
I wanted to use this game to prove myself, but I didn't know that he lost even worse in this game than when he played against the Warriors last time!
He knew that this round was likely to be the last chance for the Thunder.
If this attack fails to make an attack, Thunder will not only lack time, but also lack confidence.
Anyway, he has to defeat Link once!
This time, Westbrook was very cautious in possession of the ball. He didn't plan to pass the ball anymore. He still had 0 assists in the fourth quarter, and he had already admitted it.
His current target is only one - attack the basket!
Westbrook took every step, but Link's defense did not make Song Creek because the team led the big score.
After walking near the free throw line, Westbrook suddenly turned around, and Link immediately moved a step further and changed the center of gravity.
"I'm fooled!" Seeing Link move with him, Westbrook was overjoyed.
He just wanted to make a half-turning move. After Link moved, Westbrook immediately turned to the other side.
This time, Link did not continue to move. Westbrook thought he had successfully shaken away Link, but it was not.
Link didn't follow him because he seized the opportunity to steal!
When Westbrook was doing the half-turning move, the ball closed very high. There was no doubt that it was a good opportunity to cut the ball.
Even if we put aside the factor of stealing data, Link will still be so cautious.
Link's defense does not actually pursue data. He only wants to destroy the opponent's offense.
But sometimes, this will make his data go wild.
Sure enough, Westbrook's half-turning fake move had not been completed yet, and the basketball suddenly lost control.
Link hit the basketball again!
"Damn it!" Westbrook was shocked, and at the same time, Link took the basketball and pushed forward in overtime!
Westbrook tried hard to grab the ball back, but after reaching out, he did not touch the basketball, but instead touched Link's arm.
Westbrook fell to the ground in a panic when he was moving forward quickly.
"Successful, successful! Four-double, Link got an incredible four-double data! And he is the second player in history to achieve four-double data due to 10 steals!"
With Mr. Hubby Brown's yell, the fans also raised their arms and jumped in the stands.
Link finally put an end to the perfect match with a powerful tomahawk-style buckle.
With 31 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals, Link officially became the fifth player in NBA history to score a four-double data! At the same time, it is also the first in the 21st century!
After the dunk landed, Link followed Iverson's actions and placed his palm next to his ears, signaling the fans to shout louder.
As a result, the entire Federal Express Arena was drowned out by the yelling of MVP.
"Listen, listen to this sound! This is the mvp that fans want, this is the performance that mvp should have! The next time the mvp rankings are updated, we will never accept any results other than Link No. 1!"
Link closed his eyes and listened to the sounds around him.
When I was unable to become a professional player in my previous life, Link's favorite thing in his career mode when playing NBA2k games was to perform well and listen to the voices of all the fans shouting MVP.
Whether it is reality or game, this is an honor for the players.
Although this is not the first time Link has enjoyed such treatment at the Federal Express Arena, no matter how many times he calls, Link will not feel bored.
Compared to the four pairs, the shouting is more touching.
Billy Donovan stopped the game, which acknowledged the defeat of the game and gave the Grizzlies players and fans some time to celebrate and cheer.
The moment the whistle sounded, Wade jumped up and jumped on Link's back.
The rest of the Grizzlies players also gathered excitedly to celebrate Link's great record of four-double.
On the other hand, Westbrook walked off the court with his double-double data.
Yes, he still won the double-double in this game, but it was just an embarrassing double-double composed of 10 mistakes...
10 turnovers and 0 assists, less than 5 rebounds.
Today, the man who averaged a triple-double per game was completely defeated in front of Link.
At this time, all the shots were directed at Link, and he became the only protagonist today.
In addition to the fifth player in NBA history to win four-double data, Link also became the 11th player to win 10 steals in a single game.
People originally thought that today would be a wonderful showdown between Link and Westbrook.
However, this is not a duel at all, it is a massacre.
When the timeout ended and the players on both sides returned to the game, people found that the Thunder and the Grizzlies had already won all the main players.
This means that the game has officially entered garbage time.
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Westbrook still failed to escape the fate of losing to Link.
If there were people who questioned the Grizzlies' ability to compete for the championship at the beginning of the season, then now, no one will dare to ignore the power of Memphis.
Indeed, their dynasty was finally broken by the Warriors last season, and the record of three consecutive championships was terminated.
But it is obvious that the grizzly bear will become even more brutal after being injured.
When the electronic beep sounded, the score was frozen at 117 to 95, and the Thunder lost by 25 points.
The Grizzlies achieved five consecutive victories, with a record of 32 wins and 2 losses that are ashamed!
As soon as the competition ended, several cameras immediately surrounded Link and took pictures wildly.
The fifth player in history who can score four-double data is a magical existence.
God knows how many years will happen to such a player next time. After all, it has been 22 years since the "Admiral"!
Therefore, everyone tried to record this memorable picture tonight.
Westbrook walked out of the court silently without being favored or paid attention to anyone.
This game made his average triple-double data meaningless. Link proved with practical actions that Westbrook's magical data cannot play a role in every game.
No matter how powerful the average data is, if you can't fight a tough battle, it's useless.
This is why Bill Russell is generally believed to be greater than Wilt Chamberlain.
Chamberlain's data is terrible, but "Lord of the Rings" Russell won more games.
Link was in a good mood, so he smiled when facing the cameras of the reporters.
The reporters asked a lot of questions related to quad and triple doubles, and Link also answered them patiently one by one.
And in the end, Stephen A. Smith asked a slightly less boring question.
"Link, Kanter repeatedly challenged you in this game, but you didn't reply to anything. Can you tell me how you controlled your emotions?"
Link shrugged, "I didn't deliberately control my emotions at all, because lions are born to ignore dog barking."
No one would think Link's answer was too much, because compared with the quad-double data, Link's answer was not painful at all.
Chapter completed!
