1313: Don't take chances
The fans of Staples Center were just happy not long after their carnival came to an abrupt end. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
James scored 6 points in a row, and Morris dunked, and the game was very lively.
But all of this calmed down after Link made his debut again.
People have not forgotten how explosive the guy who just scored 21 points in 12 minutes was.
Link jumped around twice, and to be honest, he felt his body still a little heavy.
But if you only want to score points, it's enough.
James' ecstatic mood disappeared in an instant, but at the same time, he was also lucky.
Link's physical fitness is definitely worse than that of each quarter. Moreover, 21 points in a single quarter are really exaggerated even for Link.
He can do it once or twice, but Link can't score 20 points in every quarter of the four quarters, right?
Therefore, it is unlikely that Link's performance in the next three quarters will be better than that in the first quarter!
If you say that Link can continue to output 20 points in every quarter, James will definitely not believe it.
The average score is 20 points per quarter, which is calculated... One game is 80 points!
There are a few people in NBA history who can score 80 points in a single game!? There is only one other than "Standalone Zhang" in ancient times!
Perhaps 40 points, 50 points or even 60 points in a single game are commonplace in this era.
But 80 points in a single game is still a record that is almost impossible to break.
Some time ago, when James was a guest on a show, the host asked him what his personal record was the hardest to break in NBA history.
James said bluntly: "The first difficulty is Jordan averaged 41 points in the finals created in 1993, and the second difficulty is Kobe's single game created 81 points."
This is indeed what James thought in his heart, because James' highest score in his career was "just" only 61 points.
James only had 60 points in a single game.
He really couldn't imagine what it meant to score 20 more points based on 61 points.
In fact, it's not just James. Most stars believe that Kobe's 81 points in a single game is unreplicable.
Although Link is very strong, James doesn't think he can exaggerate it to break the record of 81 points.
Really, that's too unrealistic.
Link's highest score in a single game so far has only 63 points. As it turns out, it is extremely difficult for Link to score 80 points in a single game. Not to mention, it is because Link's physical fitness is exhausted.
Therefore, James firmly believes that Link cannot score 20 points in every quarter.
His performance in the first quarter is likely to be his peak today.
In the next three quarters, Link will never be so magical!
Thinking of this, James' confidence rose sharply. He wanted to continue the Lakers' offensive momentum, and even Link could not change anything.
Link didn't think so much about it. He scored 80 points or 20 points in a single quarter. Link didn't come to the basketball court to calculate math problems.
He only knows that he is the one who has the ability to compete with the Lakers now. As the team leader, he must compete to the end.
Even the old Carter, who was in his forties, was hitting the basket with blood. Is there any reason for Link to retreat?
In the last year of your career, can you still leave regrets for yourself?
After Link came back, he used his usual skills again and suddenly stopped at mid- and long distance positions, trying to take advantage of James' negligence in defense at this position to score.
But James is also a top athlete after all. In addition to having a top body, James' basketball IQ is also top-notch.
Although medium and long distances are indeed the lowest cost-effective position, few people will choose to make a big fuss in this area. However, after Link scored a goal here, he still aroused James' alertness.
So this time, James was more careful to prevent Link from stopping and jumping again.
Unexpectedly, James really guessed it.
So at the moment when Link stopped urgently, James took a big step forward and stuck it on!
Since Link was already holding the ball with both hands, he could no longer be lucky. In this case, he was still stuck by James, so Link was basically killed!
But Link did not give up. While being pressed closely by James, Link still raised the basketball and prepared to shoot!
James raised his arms, but found that Link had just made a fake shot.
Seeing that James was not fooled, Link quickly raised the basketball for the second time.
This time, Link really made a jump shot. Moreover, not only did he not avoid James, he took the initiative to lean forward in the air and pounced on him!
James' raised arms were too late to withdraw, and in this way, he was forced to invade Link's cylinder.
"Damn, why do you learn to bearded?"
Before James could finish complaining, the referee blew the whistle.
But what surprised James the most was that Link made a shot that he forced to shoot was even more fucked!
When basketball entered the net, the referee whistle sounded. Just like in the first quarter, Link won him the opportunity to score three points as soon as he came up.
The whole audience exclaimed, Link could still shoot when he was posted to death, and he still made a three-pointer. How can he defend this?
James's heart, which was so excited just now, was also confused.
What's going on?
Is there any law? Is there any law of kings?
Link quietly hammered his chest and then stepped onto the free throw line.
If you want to get high scores, free throws are essential. If you don’t rely on free throws and score points alone, you won’t be allowed to get so many points in time.
So, Link didn't take it lightly. Today, he will take every free throw opportunity seriously.
Link continued to hit the free throw, and he never returned empty-handed when he went to the free throw line today.
After Link came back, he overtook the Lakers in the first round!
His personal score has reached 24 points!
24 points.
In less than a half, 24 minutes.
Young talents such as Ingram, Siakam, Mitchell averaged only 24 points.
And Link got such a score in less than one and a half minutes!
The Lakers' momentum came to an abrupt end, and Link's appearance made the situation turn upside down again.
This three-pointer was just an appetizer, because Link's performance next made James feel more and more terrible.
One round later, Link broke through and made a foul, and stood on the free throw line and made two free throws, with 26 points!
One minute later, Link dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and suddenly pulled the ball into the basketball again!
29 points!
Afterwards, Link finally made a fuss, and the Lakers also took advantage of this opportunity to stabilize the gap.
But Link's touch was not cold for too long. He quickly used a pull-up after a breakthrough to rewritten his personal score today to 31 points!
Before the second quarter was finished, Link scored 31 points!
James, who was originally lucky, suddenly felt that he was too naive. He was a naive middle-aged man.
He thought the first quarter was Link's peak, but in fact, Link could still replicate what he did in the first quarter!
Link scored wildly, although his scores today are mostly shooting, trying to avoid high-intensity physical contact.
But people still find it incredible. How could Link beat like this when he is exhausted?
Each time he paused, Link received a muscle relaxation massage from Seto.
Every time someone else scored a free throw, Link would support his knees with both hands and breathe heavily.
He seemed to be on the verge of overdrawing and would fall down at any time. But every critical moment, he could stand up and continue to score with full blood and continue to score!
31 points, 33 points, 35 points, 37 points...Link's score continues to soar.
In the second last attack in the second quarter, when Link made a shot from the right side of the court, Link's half-time score had reached 39 points!
21 points in the first quarter and 18 points in the second quarter.
While his physical fitness declined, Link still maintained his condition perfectly.
Under the Lakers' strong overall offensive, the Grizzlies also led the Lakers by 5 points 1.3 seconds before the end of the half with Link's performance!
"39 points in the half, my god! I don't know how much Link's score will become after the fourth quarter ends! Pay attention, the game is still very anxious now. In other words, the possibility of Link getting off work early in the second half is very low. Today, Link will score until the last second!"
Mike Bryn was shocked, with 39 points in the half, and looking at it alone, this may not be a big deal. After all, there are more than one player who scored 40 or 50 points in the first half of NBA history.
But what if Link continues in the second half of the game, how much will his full score be?
Mike Brin dared not think too much, and his rational side told him that this was impossible at all.
But his radical side told him that nothing is fucking impossible in front of Link!
In the last 1.3 seconds, Rajon Rondo made a three-pointer at a long distance, and the Lakers entered the locker room with a 5-point disadvantage.
In the first half, no one except Link scored in double digits. On the Lakers, James, Davis and Kuzma, all scored double digits.
Logically speaking, the Lakers should be the one who should lead.
But Link's game has never been reasonable.
James walked into the locker room with a dull look, and he had no idea how to stop that number 0.
Last time it was 61 points. Is there something even stronger this time?
James swallowed, and James seemed to understand Carl Malone's despair back then.
Under Link's crazy personal performance, in the face of how many points Link can finally get, 33 consecutive victories seem to be less important.
Kobe stood up with a serious expression.
Chapter completed!
