1233: Best Shooting Guard and Best Small Forward

Link scored 61 points at Staples, which undoubtedly became the most highly anticipated thing since the beginning of the new season.

Staples, James, Link, 61 points...

When you pinch these elements together, it is difficult for you to not want to be popular.

After the game, most fans were lamenting Link's strength.

"I can understand why Link wants to retire now. Does he have any fun in such an alliance?"

"Shot 61 points on LeBron's head...Link will not be able to play if he doesn't retire."

"Zhan is indeed old, so the question is, why won't Link grow old?"

"Anthony Davis scored 40 points and 20 rebounds and even lost the game, which is incredible!"

For a moment, the voices about the Grizzlies being a "pseudo-strong team" completely disappeared.

As long as you can win on Staples, a highly anticipated stage, you will be recognized by the whole world.

In addition to fans, many stars also expressed their views on Link's 61 points.

"Don't compare me with him, his scoring ability is more exciting than me that night."

Gilbert Arenas showed a rare humility in the live broadcast, both scoring 60 points from Staples, but Arenas took the initiative to lower his position.

"Link is a scoring machine. If he appeared in the late 1990s and early 21st century, I think it would be difficult for the Lakers to establish a dynasty." O'Neal spread his hands in a show and gave Link the biggest compliment.

"Score 61 points on James' head?" Jordan smiled softly at the camera, "It's really hard."

This matter has become a hot topic in the basketball world. From ordinary fans to stars, everyone is discussing Link's 61 points.

You know, this season has just begun. God knows what kind of performances Link will perform in the remaining half a year.

Link's performance made him look like a person about to retire.

Even in the last year, he still lets the entire league live in his own shadow.

The whole world is discussing Link, but what fans never expected was that the day after Link scored 61 points, there was a player who did something almost as crazy as Link.

On October 30, the Washington Wizards faced the Houston Rockets at home.

Due to the obvious gap in strength between the two sides, this was a game that was not very popular.

However, this game eventually became the focus of tonight.

The game was extremely fierce and the Wizards' offense was surprisingly smooth.

In the whole game, the Wizards made 57 of 91 shots, with a shooting percentage of up to 62.6%!

Japanese rookie Hachimura performed well, scoring 23 points with a 60% shooting percentage.

The space-fourth-position Bertans, who was born in the Spurs, also had a great touch, making 6 of 9 shots from outside the three-point line, making 21 points in the game.

Do you think this is over? No, the Wizards scored the highest score today is not Hachimura or Bertans, but Bradley Bill!

Bill made 20 shots tonight and efficiently hit 14 of them, half of which were three-pointers!

This made Bill score a shocking 46 points in the whole game.

But with the Wizards playing so well, the final winner of the game was the Houston Rockets!

The reason why the Rockets won is also very simple, because James Harden scored 59 points in the whole game, and he performed more magical than the entire Wizards.

59 points, Billink's 61 points yesterday was only two points missing!

In the end, with Harden's final shot, the Rockets won the game 159-158.

That's right, 159 to 158, both sides completely played a refreshing offensive basketball and scored at the All-Star Game level!

Before people could recover from Link's miracle of 61 points in a single game, Harden immediately had another 59 points in a single game.

I have to say that this season is really a season of fighting gods.

There are many strong teams and many strong people.

Harden's offensive performance was shocking, and Link and Harden's first 61 points and the other second 59 points were inevitably compared.

After Harden scored 59 points, espn also struck while the iron was hot and began to vigorously promote the November 4 game.

Because that day, the Grizzlies will face the Rockets at home!

What kind of spark will arouse when Link, who scored 61 points in a single game and Harden, who scored 59 points in a single game? Will there be a more exaggerated game between the two super scorers?

This season, there are really continuous climaxes.

※※※

Before Link's popularity of 61 points dropped, Harden's popularity of 59 points rose.

Which one is better in scoring ability, Harden or Link has become the most discussed topic.

At this moment, an expert at espn released a statistics that counted the best players in various positions in the past 40 years from 1980 to 2019.

The two most interesting positions in this statistics are the small forward and the shooting guard.

Because in both positions, a certain player has completed his monopoly.

In the statistics of the best shooting guards in previous years, Jordan was selected as the best shooting guard every year from 1985 to 1998, except for the year of retirement, and truly dominated an era.

After entering the 21st century, Iverson, Kobe and Wade became the best second position of this era.

Although Kobe was the one who won the "Starring Guard of the Year" the most among the three, he was elected for four consecutive years at most, which was not considered a rule of an era.

From 2014 to 2019, Harden's best shooting guard of the year was monopolized.

He and Jordan are truly players who can monopolize the list.

As for the small forward position, Bird and Pippen monopolize the 1980s and 1990s respectively.

In the first three years of the 21st century, the author believed that the best small forward was McGrady.

James was the next four years, but the 2008 small forward of the year was snatched away by Pierce. Then, James was selected for three consecutive years.

Since McGrady was in front and Pierce was interrupted in the middle, James did not monopolize an era.

Until 2012, the best small forward every year has been Link, and it has never changed.

In other words, a strong person like Durant has never been selected once!

Link also became the third No. 3 player to dominate an era after Bird and Pippen.

Once this list was launched, Harden and Link became even more popular!

One is the greatest shooting guard of this era, and the other is the greatest small forward of this era.

If these two people do a good job, what if they can do it? That single game score cannot be 170?

I have to say that espn is indeed very good at hype. But the list is being put on at this critical moment, just to keep the popularity of Link and Harden rising!

Of course, if you look closely at this list, there are many unreasonable aspects.

For example, in the 1990s, Hill and Dominic Wilkins were also very strong, but Pippen was the best small forward for 10 consecutive years.

For example, Wade was selected as the best shooting guard of the year in 2009, which is actually quite controversial.

But the fans didn't care about those things at all, they only cared about Link and Harden.

Anyway, espn did succeed.

Now, fans around the world are setting their sights on November 4th.

Everyone wants to watch the offensive battle between Link and Harden.

Until then, both sides still have games to play.

Harden's performance continues to be hot, playing against the Spurs and the Heat, with 36 points in one game and 39 points in one game, which makes Harden's current average score of a crazy 39.5 points!

With nearly 40 points per game, Harden is definitely a historic scoring performance.

After scoring 61 points, Link became much more gentle. In the game against the Suns on November 2, Link just scored 24 points and 7 assists in an understatement.

Although the Grizzlies finally won the ball, they finally won the big score.

But the fans obviously did not enjoy watching it, and 24 points could not satisfy the outside world's expectations for Link.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters did not ask too many questions related to this game.

Almost everyone focused on November 4th.

"Link, in the next game against Harden, who is currently averaging nearly 40 points, what kind of scoring performance do you think you will have? Will you score 60+ points again? Or higher?"

Faced with this problem, Link just shrugged: "I never thought about scoring with Harden. His scoring ability is too strong, and scoring with him is a desperate situation."

Link's answer surprised the reporters on the scene.
