711: Entering the ranks of great players
The scene of Durant bowing to the stands in advance did not become a classic picture of pretending to behave. Instead, the scene of Link bowing to him was destined to be recorded in history.
When the beeps and the red lights appeared on the rebound, most Thunder fans stared at each other and were not very disappointed.
Because they haven't reacted to what happened yet!
Before the last timeout, they had just celebrated the victory. What's the result now? What's this? Link put his hand into their pockets and took away the victory that was put in his pocket!
The Thunder fans were stunned like Durant. One second of heaven, one second of hell. When the Thunder fans figured out what happened, everything was already over.
After Link bowed to Durant very "gentlemanly", he was hugged by his excited teammates.
This time, not only the players, but even Joggel and Snyder, who were in suits and tie, vividly embraced the players without any worries.
The excited crowd was right in front of Durant and Westbrook. The two looked at each other and found that neither of them could close their mouths.
"How did he do it?" Durant asked Westbrook after a long time.
Westbrook shook his head in a daze, his soul had not returned yet.
After being hugged by his teammates, Link finally smiled. He said that 2 seconds were enough to have nothing to worry about.
The crazy celebrations of the Grizzlies players continued, while the Thunder players walked into the player channel one by one dejectedly.
The most embarrassing thing is Durant who celebrated his victory in advance. The more arrogant he was just now, the more embarrassing he was now.
Countless cameras surrounded Durant just to capture his current miserable appearance.
This is NBA, this is the superstar in the spotlight. If you win, countless people will praise you. But if you lose, you have nowhere to escape.
O'Neal sat in the commentary seat, his chest undulating rapidly, as if he had just played for a while.
Of course, O'Neal was not tired. He was so breathing because just now, O'Neal even forgot to breathe.
"God, I'm not dreaming, aren't I?" O'Neal patted his huge head and looked at his two partners.
"I'm afraid this is not a dream, Shaq Durant wants it to be a dream more than you, but it's a cruel fact. Link used a difficult step back jump shot and forced the game to kill two steps outside the three-point line under the double interference of Durant and Westbrook. I know, this sounds too incredible. But, everyone, this is the end of this game."
Kevin Harlan's tone has become much more dull now, and he has calmed down.
But calm down and carefully savor the ball just now, it feels even more terrible.
The moment Link completed the final kill, everyone was just yelling. But few people were concerned about how difficult it was to that goal!
To be honest, the Thunder's defense has been at its best. Durant and Westbrook pressed step by step, leaving no room for Link, and the Thunder did not make any mistakes.
But it's terrible that even though the Thunder have already achieved such an extreme, they still cannot stop Link from scoring the goal.
Kevin Harlan thought about the ball just now and then felt a chill on his spine again.
Who can really stop him this season?
After Link celebrated with his teammates, the Thunder players were gone.
For Link, this was undoubtedly a regret. Link was far from satisfied just by giving Durant a bow.
Link then looked at the stands and found that many Thunder fans were sitting in their positions, as if they could not accept the defeat in this game.
Link smiled, and it was right that he could not accept it. Only in this way can he settle the accounts of the previous two times.
The reporters began to pour towards Link. If the protagonists of this game were Link and Durant just now. Then after the extremely difficult finale, the protagonist of this game instantly became Link alone.
No one will remember the loser, this is the rule of competitive sports.
"Link, congratulations, you just completed a perfect counter-kill! People compare your counter-kill against the Pacers in 1994. Which one do you think is more exciting than your counter-kill against the classic counter-kill?"
The reporter said congratulations to Link as soon as he came up. Link believed that they wanted to leave this word to Durant before the last pause.
"I don't know, things like being wonderful should be left to fans to judge. But we have all done the same thing, just tell everyone. Before the last second, don't feel stable!"
Link did not hide his proud expression and could complete the anti-apocalypse on the head of a mortal enemy. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. The most important thing is that Link also seized the opportunity.
With this capital, you naturally have to show off your power under Durant's nose.
"Your shot is worth a thousand gold. In addition to pulling the Grizzlies back from the edge of the cliff and helping the team defeat the Thunder, you also used that shot to win 10 consecutive victories for the Grizzlies! You did it and regained 10 consecutive victories from the Thunder. At the same time, the Grizzlies have become the fifth team in NBA history to achieve three 10 consecutive victories in a single season. All of this is because of that shooting. Do you have anything to say about making history?"
After the reporter said this, Link remembered that there was still a historical record. When he was shooting just now, Link didn't think so much at all, he just wanted to win.
If he had thought so much at that time, he might not have been able to make an investment.
Three ten consecutive victories in a single season are indeed an amazing record. The first team to win three consecutive victories in a single season were the Bucks in the 70-71 season. At that time, the Bucks had two superstars, Jabbar and "Big O" Oscar Robertson. They won 16 consecutive victories, 10 consecutive victories and 20 consecutive victories in that season respectively.
The second team who was able to win three consecutive games in a single season was the Philadelphia 76ers led by "Dr. J" Julius Irving. At that time, Irving averaged 24.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, which interpreted the true meaning of an all-round small forward.
After Irving, this record was blank for a long time, and even the Bulls won 72 times, until the terrifying big guy appeared.
That's right, the third team that won three consecutive games in a single season was the Lakers in the 99-00 season. O'Neal was at its peak at that time, and Kobe gradually became a first-tier superstar in the league. The beginning of the "ok" dynasty began at that time.
The last team that was able to win 10 consecutive victories three times in a single season was the Mavericks in the 2006-07 season. They won two 12 consecutive victories and one 13 consecutive victories respectively. Although the Mavericks ended in that season very tragic and suffered a tragic eighth in black, Nowitzki was indeed worthy of the title of MVP that year.
Looking at the previous four teams in history that have achieved three 10 consecutive victories in a single season, they all have one thing in common, that is, the great superstars in the team played a great season!
When the 32-year-old "Big O" was no longer as brave as he was, Jabbar won the championship with the Bucks. The legendary season of Julius Irving laid a record for the 76ers legend. The powerful performances of O'Neal and Nowitzki allowed this ancient record to be reproduced in the 21st century.
Now, Link uses an extreme kill to bring the Grizzlies into the ranks of three 10 consecutive victories in a single season.
Can he show his amazing season performance like his previous seniors? Everyone is looking forward to it.
At least from now on, Link's performance this season is legendary enough.
He has entered the ranks of great superstars with one foot!
"I'm glad to reach the historical record. I've said a long time ago that since four teams could do it, we can do it too. Even something that no one could do. Of course, the happiest thing was to win the game. We gave the Thunder a powerful blow, and they were crazy about the championship. But before we fell, they could only think about it."
After Link finished speaking, he smiled and turned around and left.
Historical records are just affiliated rewards, and defeating the Thunder is the biggest gain today.
Link's answer was very proud, but what can the reporters say?
Chapter completed!
