As soon as the All-Star Game ended, fans were bombarded by Link and their scalp was numb.

Madison Square Garden was bloodbathed, which was not something that could surprise fans. After all, the Knicks had to be bloodbathed several games each season.

But last night, Link's bloodbathing was too "complete".

The first player to score 50+ points in Madison Square Garden, and the first player to score 50+ triple-double twice in a single season.

Link broke two historical records in one breath, making people sigh.

The last player who could have such a devastating performance in the fourth grade was Larry Bird and what about after Bird? No more, even LeBron James was not so explosive.

Before the popularity of the dunk contest had dissipated, Link pushed himself into another craze.

At the beginning of the season, when ESPN selected Link as the top 50 superstars in the new season, Link was questioned a lot.

But now, when ESPN put Link at the top of the MVP rankings, few people raised objections.

Judging from Link's current performance, he is indeed worthy of such an honor. Even if he directly awards the MVP trophy to him now, probably few people have any objections.

You know, with an explosive personal performance, the Grizzlies have won 49 wins this season!

In another game, the Grizzlies will win the 50th victory of the season.

50 wins means that even in the fiercely competitive West, it is enough to enter the playoffs. As long as the Grizzlies win again in the next game, even if they don’t win a game in the next two months, they will still have a playoff spot.

The playoff spot was determined early at the end of the All-Star Game, something that had never happened before.

But it is these incredible things that highlight Link's greatness.

In the last two months of the regular season, everyone wanted to see what kind of miracles Link could create.

72 wins? Beyond 72 wins? Create another record that is almost impossible to break?

Everyone is looking forward to it!

But there is one person who has been waiting for the final regular season game with Link since the All-Star Game!

He is very willing to act as the stumbling block on Link's road of rapid progress.

※※※

On February 20, 2012, the first All-Star game after the All-Star Game officially started in Oklahoma City.

The Heat vs. Thunder, although it was last season since the two sides played in the finals, the two teams are still considered as imaginary enemies in the finals.

Unlike last season's 66 wins, this season, the Miami Heat's offensive has been much gentler.

The Heat have lost the record until now in the regular season. When the Grizzlies were almost winning the 50th game of the season, the Heat were still two games away from their 40th victory.

However, everyone could see that the Heat and James were holding on to their strength in the regular season and did not use all their strength. They did not intend to release this strength in advance, they wanted to put all their strength into the playoffs.

Therefore, even if the record is not so scary, the Heat are still considered one of the strongest teams in the league.

When two powerful teams collide, they will naturally receive live broadcasting treatment across the United States.

Today, James gathered everyone in the locker room before the game and made a simple speech. He hoped that everyone would do their best in this game and play this game as a playoff.

This season, the league's "strong west and weak east" trend is still very obvious. In the top eight in the Eastern Conference, except for the Heat and the Pacers, the strength of other teams is almost out of range compared to the top eight in the Western Conference.

Therefore, the Heat don't have many opportunities to gain experience in the East. Most of the opponents they face are quite average.

Now it is rare to meet a team with strength. James certainly hopes that the team can do its best to see what the Heat can do.

James originally thought that as long as the Heat took all their strength, they could easily kill the Thunder like they did two years ago.

But today's game scared James into a cold sweat!

"Kevin Durant dribbled outside the three-point line and took action directly! LeBron didn't expect Kevin's move to be so decisive. His blocking was half a beat slower. This space was completely enough for Durant! He hit a three-pointer, Kevin Durant continued to score, and the Thunder had widened the gap to double digits!"

In the Chesapeake Energy Arena, fans were cheering and the commentator was shouting for Durant's great performance.

James covered his head in annoyance because this was the 28th point that Kevin Durant cut on the top of his head!

Durant's outstanding form obviously made James not prepared.

From the beginning of the game today, Durant did not give James a chance to breathe.

The No. 35 seemed quite angry and wanted to sweep away all opponents who were standing in front of him.

James was finally looked at the big screen on the scene and gritted his teeth. He knew that he was in trouble today.

In the last five minutes of the game, Durant did not relax his offense. On the defensive end, he beat James and made the Heat miss the key offense. On the offensive end, Durant scored freely with his superb projection, which made James only shake his head and sigh again and again.

Three minutes later, Spoelstra replaced all the three giants in a loss. He couldn't believe that his team would be thrown into garbage time!

"The unstoppable Kevin Durant, 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists! Kevin defeated LeBron this time, and his performance will definitely make the Miami Heat nervous! If the Heat meet the Thunder in this state in the finals, they will be finished!"

The commentator shouted at the moment of the game and looked at the score again, confirming that he was not dazzled.

The away team is in front and the home team is in back. The Thunder abused the Heat as many as 22 points at home! This is not a dream, this is what happened in the past 48 minutes!

Not only is the Heat and the Thunder huge gap, but Durant and James also have a big gap in their personal performance today.

Durant's performance with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists was unmatched, while James's 26 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists were obviously much inferior.

Outside the three-point line, James made 1 of 6 shots today. As for this game, James was completely destroyed by Durant!

After the battle with the Heat, Durant was out of control. He knew very well that he could not be complacent yet, and this was just the beginning!

On February 23, the Thunder vs. The Clippers, another strong showdown.

In this game, the Clippers' sixth player Jamal Crawford performed bravely, scoring the team's highest 36 points in the game.

That's right, 36 points are just the highest score of the Clippers. Because today's highest score in the game was Kevin Durant who scored 42 points!

Durant continued his outstanding performance against the Heat in the last game, with Matt Barnes and Dudley's wheel defense not playing any role in Durant.

Under Durant's leadership, the Thunder scored 125 points in the fourth quarter and won the game.

Three days later, on February 26, All-Star MVP Kelly Irving came to Oklahoma with confidence and prepared to challenge Durant.

However, Durant still has no mercy against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the playoffs fringe team.

With 9 rebounds and 62.5% shooting percentage! Durant used an efficient quasi-triple double-double to destroy Irving's fragile team.

At this point, the Thunder have won three consecutive victories after the All-Star Game. In addition, Durant performed well in all three games.

After the game against the Cavaliers, Durant finally couldn't wait to say what he wanted to tell the world, "I want to play with Link now, I can't wait. The next game will be our last fight in the regular season, and I promise I will keep him in mind."

In an instant, everyone suddenly realized.

It turned out that Durant was fighting so hard in the first three games, preparing for his fourth fight with Link.

No one knows what kind of sparks will be sparked by both sides in the next game.

"It seems that Kevin is in extreme anger now. Perhaps Kevin has been in a bad mood since the last time he was defeated by Link. He has completely gone wild. He has killed James, Paul and Irving one after another. No one among them can even slow down Durant's pace. The only person who can stop him is Link. So, what about the Links?"

After the interview, David Aldridge ended the live broadcast of the Thunder and the Cavaliers with a meaningful question.

Where is the Links?

Memphis at 10 pm, Federal Express Arena.

Link walked into the shower panting, sweating all over.

"Link, go quickly, I don't want to be scolded." In the locker room, Old Billy, the security guard who locked the door of the training hall today, was urging Link to leave.

In order to prevent players from overtraining, Dave Joggel asked to lock the door of the training hall at 8 o'clock every night. That is to say, even if players need to practice more, it will be until 8 o'clock at most.

But today, Link insisted on his word and never left. Old Billy had no choice but to stay by Link's side to watch his training.

In fact, since last season, Link rarely stayed in the training hall so late. After all, for athletes of his level, sometimes rest is more important than training.

But today Link was particularly abnormal and seemed to want to be disturbed by anyone or anything.

Finally, at ten o'clock, Link suddenly stopped what he had in his hand and walked into the locker room.

"Don't worry, Billy, I'll go back soon. Today I'm making things difficult for you. Hehe, I'll give you five tickets tomorrow, which is a compensation for you." Link smiled apologetically while showering.

"Five tickets? You know, because of your outstanding record, the Grizzlies' tickets are not cheap now, no better than they were back then. The price of watching five games at the Federal Express Arena two years ago is only enough to watch one game now. Why? You don't want to exchange five valuable tickets for five nights of overtraining, right? I won't let you do this again, Link." Old Billy was startled. If something went wrong with Link, he wouldn't be able to take responsibility.

"Don't worry, I don't need five nights of overtraining, and I will never do it again. Even if someone asks me to train so late in the future, I won't do that."

"Then why do you have to train until this time today?" Old Billy became more and more surprised.

"Well," Link smiled, "It's a bit special tonight, Billy."

Of course, Link would not tell Old Billy that the reason why he had to train so abnormally until so late today was for the prompt that only he could see.
