241: Dunk on your head
Ross was panting on the bench, and before the game started today, he and his team looked at the Grizzlies as strong. No matter how magical the Grizzlies last season, they never beat the Bulls, and that's the fact.
The Grizzlies were only poor 12 points in the first quarter, which made Ross and the Bulls a little inflated.
The regular season vp and rookie vp, the first in the East and fifth in the West, are neither of the same level.
But now, Ross is ashamed of his pre-match attitude. His opponent is very strong, while the Bulls just think he is very strong!
"Derick, cheer up! The game is not over yet, we are only 4 points behind, and we can't give up!" Thibodeau's roar brought Rose's thoughts back to reality.
Ross nodded slightly, then took a sip of Gatorade. He knew the game was not over yet, and he knew that the Bulls still had hope of winning. But verbally speaking, there are two completely different concepts when it comes to playing the game.
Ross is now quite tired, and his breakthrough-oriented offensive method will naturally cost him a lot of money. The rough defense that the Grizzlies have always advocated has further increased Ross' consumption.
So, if he can score 8 points in the next six minutes, Ross is really unsure.
Now, he knows how the Memphis Grizzlies were bitten to the Western Conference Finals step by step.
They are really hard to deal with. You think the grizzlies have been killed, but they can always get up and give you a claw.
Of course, the hardest one among them is the No. 0 draft pick.
The electronic beep sounded, and Ross dragged his tired body into the court again.
It must not be yourself. The number of players who are defeated by the undraft is OK, but it must not be yourself!
But when Ross thinks so, he must admit that it proves that Link has put a lot of pressure on him.
※※※
After Link played again, both sides changed back to the lineup. It can be seen that the last 6 minutes will be the decisive moment that determines the outcome of the game.
Lorden is still defending Link. Although at present, Lorden has no choice but to use Link. But overall, he is already the best player in the Bulls' defense of Link.
Thibodeau never expected that the defense he was proud of would one day be forced to be forced to raise his head by a undraft. But he believed that even if the scene was a bit ugly, the final victory of the game would still belong to the Bulls!
Unfortunately, the Bulls' first attack gave Thibodeau a huge blow!
Ross, who was already extremely tired, made a layup directly hit by Gasol.
Ross went for a foul, but Gasol was not a fool either. After suffering a few losses, there would naturally be adjustments.
He was bleeding from the beginning, and Thibodeau's heart was shocked. He felt as if his heart had been hit hard.
The basketball that was flying out by Gasol Jr. fell into Guy's hands. Guy immediately fought back, but was brutally blocked by Ronnie Brewer.
Even so, Guy decided to force a layup in physical confrontation. Unfortunately, Guy failed to make the ball. Today, Guy was defended very badly. Including this attack, he only made 3 of 12 shots. In fact, Link was basically supported by the attack.
Seeing that Guy failed to make a layup, Thibodeau breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he seized this opportunity, the gap could be narrowed to two points or even one point!
However, before Brewer took off to protect the rebound, No. 0, wearing a dark blue jersey, flew in, grabbed the basketball before everyone, and directly pressed it back into the box!
"Beautiful patch-dunks! Link's follow-up was very active. The moment Rudy Gay missed a layup, he rushed to the basket and scored a patch-dunk! 36 points! Link's personal score today has reached the 36th point. I have a bold guess, will it be Link's 40th point night tonight? Can he do it??"
Link landed, then glared viciously at the stands behind the rebound. The Bulls players were silent, and the "big villain" just gave them another heavy blow!
Luo Erdeng shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect Link to rush in and make a tip-in. Besides, Link kept running in front of him, and he couldn't get stuck.
With 36 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds, Link can be said to have scored the most gorgeous data in his career so far!
Moreover, the data may rise!
"Continue, let them see how amazing!" Randolph shouted behind everyone, "The following is a crime, and doing these things at other people's home courts has made Randolph's adrenaline soar!
To be honest, Grizzlies players are born with the temperament of being villains.
The Bulls finally scored a goal this time, but it was not from Ross, but from Boozer! He made the big black bear's successful fight against Randolph at the basket, which made the big black bear very embarrassed. After all, he just finished shouting, but he immediately scored a goal against the opponent, which naturally made the big black bear very embarrassed!
Link knew that Randolph must be very angry now, so in the next round, he broke through and passed the ball, and when Boozer attracted Boozer's defense, he stuffed the ball into Randolph's hands from the crack.
Randolph took a big step and dunked directly, and Boozer could do nothing about it!
The Big Black Bears' dunk made fans talk about it. But what Kevin Harlan is paying attention to is that Link's data has become 36 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds!
It's getting closer and closer to the triple-double. Well, a triple-double with 40+ points!
After these two goals, both sides experienced several rounds of no score, and the score difference remained.
It was not until the third minute of the fourth quarter that Link's mid-range shot broke the deadlock.
This time, Link originally broke through and passed the ball to Gasol, but the "Spanish homeless man" did not seize the opportunity and missed the central shot.
When Noah wanted to grab the rebound, he realized that Link had been stuck!
For rebounding, the most important thing is not height bounce, but judgment and positioning of rebounding points!
Link then carried Noah and got the offensive rebound! He did not take a shot directly under the crowded basket, but handed the ball to Conley outside the three-point line to reorganize.
Conley did not disappoint Link. In the end, he assisted Link to hit Lolden again, with 38 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds! The Grizzlies led by 6 points!
"That kid is almost filling the data sheet." Grizzlies assistant coach Elston Turner's heart beat faster. He didn't expect Link to play like this today!
A triple-double is not easy for a player, and a triple-double with 40+ points has appeared very few times in the entire NBA history! Turner doesn't know the specific number, but he is sure that this is definitely a feat!
After scoring the goal, Link also looked up at his data. He didn't want to be reminded by Randolph to get a triple-double. After seeing the score, assists and rebounds were only one time apart, Link clenched his fists. It would be too bad to say that he didn't care about the data at this time!
He cares about the data very much, but Link will help the team win if the data is filled!
"As an all-round high-level guard, Johnson's career data is very comprehensive and balanced. But even he has only won one 40-point triple-double in his entire career. Even a basketball player like Jordan has only three 40-point triple-double in his entire career. Kobe Bryant? He hasn't even won one! But now, Link has the opportunity to touch this record! Let's see if he can accomplish this feat!" Soon, Kevin Harlan gave the data on the commentary stage.
Just like Turner imagined, a 40-point triple-double is rare in the entire league history.
Some people want to brush data and ignore the victory of the game. But Link is working harder! How to get the rebound? Force the opponent to hit the iron! How to let the opponent hit the iron? Defend seriously!
Therefore, Link's defense this round was even more fierce. Lorden tried three counter-runs and two no-ball screens, but every time, Link would block him in time!
Deng Yingqiao was defeated by the defense. After trying several times, he couldn't get rid of Link. He pulled off his elbow guard in annoyance and threw it to the sidelines to vent his inner anger.
The Bulls didn't have a chance, so Rose pulled out of the three-point line!
Randolph and Gasol Jr. immediately got stuck in the position, and Link rushed to the inside! Ross' shooting power was too great and hit the front of the basket. Under the protection of the Black and White Bears, Link easily took the rebounds, with 38 points, 9 assists and 10 rebounds!
"Get it, double-double! Link scored the second double-double data of this season! Of course, we all know that his goal is definitely more than that, and what we want to see is more than that!" Kevin Harlan shouted and sweated. He was completely ignited by Link!
"Let's go!" Link immediately yelled after grabbing the rebound, signaling himself to control the ball and advance. Conley had no objection to this, and he was willing to help Link get a triple-double.
Therefore, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with your teammates in daily life.
The Bulls are already 6 points behind. They don't care whether Link can get a triple-double. They just want to win the game. So, everyone strictly guarded their matchups, and Link didn't have a good pass goal.
Seeing this, Link and Conley fought and helped Conley catch Ross. Conley hit the middle distance after receiving the ball, and made a quick stop and jump shot!
Luo Erdeng hesitated. He didn't figure out whether he should stay by Link or switch to Conley. As a result, this hesitation gave Conley a chance!
Without a pass goal, you can create your own goal. Link and Conley's cooperation was very successful. Link scored 38 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds!
"It's still 2 points away, it's still 2 points away!" Conley reminded Link loudly after scoring the goal, and Link nodded silently.
For the Bulls, they are only two points away. If the Grizzlies widen the gap to 10 points, there is no need to play in this game!
Ross knew that he had to stand up. He played a pick-and-roll with Noah, but Gasol and Conley both delayed in front of Ross, and he was double-teamed again!
But Ross was not panicked, but hit the ball between the two legs and passed it to Noah who cut in the basket.
But just as the basketball rebounded, a black shadow rushed between the basketball and Noah. Ross felt a chill in his heart, and he saw the dark blue No. 0!
"Link, when did he rush out!? This guy's judgment on the defensive end was too accurate. He stole the ball from Ross to Noah. This was the opportunity for the Bulls to counterattack, it was an opportunity!" Kevin Harlan simply stood up, and at the same time, everyone on the Grizzlies' bench also stood up!
Link knew that he was not moving fast enough with the ball, so he immediately handed the ball to Conley after the steal.
At the same time, Link pulled to the right bottom corner. Seeing Lolden go to block Conley, Ross took the initiative to defend himself in front of Link.
Link and Rose, this is their first matchup today!
Lorden's height and wingspan are still very threatening to Conley, so after he broke through halfway through, he still handed the ball to Link, who was ambushing the bottom corner.
Link made a shot. After seeing Rose take a step, Link took advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's center of gravity changed to accelerate the breakthrough! Rose's center of gravity moved forward, but Link broke through behind him, which caught the youngest VP off guard!
"It's past! Link passed Derek Ross! He broke into the penalty area along the bottom line!"
"Fuck it!" Luo Er Deng was also annoyed. The scene of his destruction just now was still vivid in his mind. Seeing Link rushing in, he set off and waited for the boy to come in and die!
However, Link was not afraid of Deng Yingqiao's defense. He suddenly started to rise when he stepped into the edge of the penalty area! LorDeng followed up later, but was under pressure from Link!
Link's score is very strong now, and what's insignificant in front of Rose. Then I'll let you see how much energy I have!
Link then pressed Luo Erden and swung his right arm around and smashed the ball into the basket!
At that moment, all the players on the Grizzlies' bench jumped up excitedly. Jimmy Butler was so happy that he ran around the sidelines, not knowing what he should do!
"Apart from each other's dunk! Link passed Derek Ross with superb steps, and then dunked into the penalty area. Roalden was blocked by 40 points and triple-double, Link did it! This dunk also left the Bulls 10 points behind, completely ruining the victory!"
After Link hit the ground with a dunk, the United Center Arena had become silent, and Chicago fans were scared to pee, as if they had seen aliens!
Where is Link? He smiled jokingly into the stands, then ran back, busy defending the next round, deliberately making an expression of "Biross is just a routine operation to me."
Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, Link's heart was already turbulent. This was a 40-point triple-double, and this was a dunk across the board!
Chapter completed!
