697: Set a small goal and win 10 games first
If you only turn your attention to the Grizzlies and Bucks in the fourth quarter, then you must feel that the game is going without any trouble.
Because the game reached the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the Milwaukee Bucks are already 17 points behind.
It was almost impossible for the Bucks to come back from the Grizzlies in two minutes to chase 17 points.
The camera swept the Bucks' bench, and everyone sat on the bench lonely for a year, with their eyes dull.
Until now this season, the Bucks have only won 7 games in total. To put it bluntly, they should be used to losing. It is not embarrassing to lose to the Grizzlies, the first in the league.
However, everyone on the Bucks seemed to have experienced a shameful defeat.
Brandon Knight put a towel on his head, and no one could see what his expression was now.
Larry Drew sat in the position, as if in a daze. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Logically, he helped the team take another step towards the No. 1 pick.
But who would like to lose all of their career experience?
Finally, the camera gives "Greek Monster" Antetokounmpo a close-up.
Antetokounmpo's eyes were empty and he had no energy that he should have at this age.
In fact, the process of this game is much more twists and turns than you see now, and the Bucks were not lagging behind at the beginning.
The reason why this team, which is used to losing, is so lonely when facing failure again today is because they were so close to victory.
Fans who only watch the game from the fourth quarter will not know that after the first quarter, the Bucks still led the defending champion by 6 points!
In the second quarter, after Link began to bombard, the Bucks still stabilized the situation in the first half and fell behind by only 5 points.
But in the third quarter, the Bucks no longer had the power to resist.
Link always plays for a while and takes a break for a few minutes, but the few minutes he is present is a complete disaster for the Bucks.
In the third quarter, Link scored 11 points in a single quarter, including a performance of 9 points in a row, completely defeating the Bucks' confidence.
They clearly realize how big the gap between themselves and the league first is. This gap is insurmountable.
The Bucks want to give the Grizzlies two consecutive losses? It’s simply a dream.
By the fourth quarter, the Bucks, who had lost confidence in resistance, were thrown away by the Grizzlies. Although the process was full of thorns, the final result was still similar to what they expected.
The Milwaukee Bucks are no match for the Memphis Grizzlies at all!
Antetokounmpo scored 15 points and 6 rebounds today, plus a block against Link.
For a rookie outside of Lotto, this data is really not bad. Moreover, he blocked Link's goal and would probably be able to successfully choose the top five today.
But compared with Link's 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Antetokounmpo's data became worthless.
By the way, Link scored those data and only took 27 minutes to play, and he almost didn't play much in the fourth quarter. The efficiency is so high that you can know.
Link didn't lie to Dave Joggel, and it was more than enough to get the Bucks in 30 minutes!
The Greeks are now quite depressed. A physically exhausted Link completely beat him up. He didn't know how big the gap between him and Link was.
And after today, Antetokounmpo no longer looks forward to meeting Link on the court.
Will he be happy to be with Link in private or on the training ground, but play with Link?
Forget it, it's really not interesting at all.
There is only endless sense of oppression!
That ghostly extraordinary person, the powerful flying and determination... Just thinking about it, Antetokounmpo felt extremely frustrated.
Finally, the electronic beep rang in the Bradley Center. At this time, there were only about half of the seats in the stadium.
The others all left as early as after the third quarter.
95 to 102, the Milwaukee Bucks failed to get upset, and they almost only played good goals in the half.
Or, Link killed the Bucks after only playing a good ball in less than 30 minutes.
At the end of the game, Link stood up with his tired body and kept applauding.
This game seems to be easy to win, but in fact it is really not easy to play.
Everyone was exhausted, including Link. Although Link only played for less than 30 minutes today, it was also a physical job to have to burst out in a concentrated manner for a period of time.
The entire Grizzlies were celebrating freely, and everyone felt like they were escaping from death.
Fortunately, this game was bitten. If the Bucks, which are at the bottom of the league, break the record of non-stop defeat, it would be embarrassing.
Link put his waist on his waist. Although the scene was a bit deserted, it did not affect his enjoyment of victory.
Antetokounmpo walked towards Link again, of course, at this time the Greeks lost a little less joy in their winning streak.
"You're so awesome, Link. I've tried my best, but you look relaxed."
"I? Easy? Hahahaha, I didn't play easily, okay? I'm almost exhausted. Come on, Jannis. You have great potential, believe me. When you reach the fourth year of your career, you will be as good as me."
"I will work hard!" Antetokounmpo replied seriously, as if this was the task assigned to him by Link.
Link smiled and waved his hand, signaling Antetokounmpo to go back and rest quickly.
Seeing a future superstar obedient like a child, I have to say that this feeling is quite pleasant.
Although he defeated Antetokounmpo, for Link, this game could not allow him to vent all the aggrieved emotions in his heart.
Losing to Durant is not something that can be comforted by defeating a team at the bottom of the league.
Until now, when Link remembers the scenes last night, he can't help but clench his fists.
Sometimes when you lose a game, you are eager to fill him with ten wins.
Ten games...Link smiled, and decided so happily.
At the post-match press conference, the reporters' questions were not only related to today's game, but also involved the painful defeat yesterday.
There is no doubt that the popularity of yesterday's game has not yet subsided. The grudge between the Grizzlies and the Thunder is still a topic that journalists talk about.
The reporters are very willing to replace the question of "How do you feel when you lose to Durant twice in a row" with 20 different ways to ask Link.
"It was indeed a pity that yesterday's defeat, after all, it broke our winning streak. But it doesn't matter. We stood up wherever we fell before."
In response to Link's answer, a reporter from the Oklahoma City Thunder started to raise trouble, "Stand up wherever you fall? When you lost to the Thunder, you were in the middle of a ten-game winning streak. What do you mean, can you still win a ten-game winning streak in the future?"
"Why not? We have this strength."
"Oh, you may not know what this concept is, Mr. Lin! You say you want to win 10 consecutive games, which means you think the Grizzlies can win three consecutive games in a single season! Then I tell you, there are only 4 teams in NBA history that can win 10 consecutive games in three consecutive games in a single season! Even the Bulls in 1996 cannot accomplish this feat! Now, do you know what you are talking about?"
The Russian City reporter showed off his power, and he must have thought he had scared Link.
Little did he know that Link just smiled slightly, "I really don't know this record. After all, I'm not like you, I only regard basketball as a number game. But since there are four teams that have done it before, what's the difficulty?"
"Then let's see if this is difficult or not!" The reporter from Ox City was full of confidence. He believed that Link would pay the price for his arrogance this time.
After the press conference, the Russian City reporter looked at the opponents of the Grizzlies in the next nine games.
After he looked at the schedule, he realized that Link was drunk and didn't mean to drink!
If the Grizzlies keep going well and really win 9 consecutive victories, then the Grizzlies' 10th opponent will be the Thunder!
Link said that where to fall and then stand up, it turned out to be that. That guy Link had long been thinking about getting back the 10 consecutive victories from the Thunder!
But after reading the schedule, the reporter of Oshima became more relieved.
Because he believed that Durant and Thunder would not let Link succeed!
Chapter completed!
