1078: The strongest triple-double in history
The next day, Link's confirmed results were officially announced.
After examination, Link did experience a mild concussion. Therefore, he will be forced to enter the league's concussion protection program.
Before passing the concussion test arranged by the league, Link was unable to appear. He even couldn't participate in training.
However, this news did not cause any big stir.
Because after a season, players often experience mild concussions.
The most famous of them was the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals, when "big baby" Glen Davis was fucked directly on the court by Howard's elbow.
Although he staggered up and wanted to participate in the attack, he almost fell down after walking for a while, as if he was drunk.
Finally, the identification results showed that Davis had a serious concussion at the moment he was hit by the elbow.
Davis has a very serious concussion. In fact, most players have very mild concussions, which are far less terrible.
The league set up a very strict concussion test to ensure the safety of athletes and avoid making small things bigger.
Kevin Love just completed his second concussion test a few days ago. For most players, a mild concussion is not a problem, just a few days off.
Moreover, before the Christmas game, the Grizzlies had no big game to play.
The Grizzlies are now five games away from the Christmas game, with their opponents in five games being the Kings, Jazz, Celtics and Pistons twice in a row.
Although the Jazz and Celtics are both playoff-level teams, to be honest, these two games are not painful for the Grizzlies.
So even if Link is absent, it doesn't matter.
Therefore, the day after the game, the Grizzlies' 25 consecutive wins were still the Miracle of Link's 50+15+15 in a single game!
His terrible data is called "the strongest triple-double in history" by fans!
Even many active or retired big-name stars have expressed their feelings on their social media.
"I can't imagine what kind of data this is. I can only say that what Link did yesterday is as great as 81 points in a single game!" Kobe naturally praised Link loudly.
As a friend, Kobe Tylink was happy. As a business partner, Link made history and it was certainly good for beverage sales.
As a father, Kobe is also very pleased that his daughter's idol can do such a good job.
It can be said that after Link scored the "strongest triple-double in history", Kobe may be the happiest person in the world except for Grizzlies fans.
In addition to Kobe, the "old gangster" Michael Jordan also became serious at the press conference. "This is a great record. Link directly raised the NBA game by one intensity!"
It is the ultimate dream of countless people to be able to make Kobe and Jordan praise him at the same time.
However, Link turned this fantasy into reality.
Apart from Link, the second-fire man is not Harden, who scored 46 points in the last game and forced the Grizzlies into a desperate situation.
Draymond Green became the most discussed player after Link. It was really a matter of people sitting at home and the pot came from the sky.
Of course, most of the attention Green gets is negative. His social media is completely overwhelmed by the mouths of fans. The Internet is full of posts and news that ridiculed him.
Before the game, Green shouted the most fiercely. But after the game, when the Grizzlies really broke the Warriors' longest winning streak, Green didn't say a word.
Today, Greene is particularly quiet.
I don’t know how many media were holding their mobile phones at this time, waiting for Green, who was "big-mouthed", to come forward and continue to scold Link.
But from the beginning to the end, Green did not say anything about the Rockets' game against the Grizzlies.
As Link said, this time, even the "big mouth" had no room for interruption.
In the face of 25 consecutive wins at the beginning and the strongest triple-double in history, Green could not stand up any more.
Before the Warriors meet the Grizzlies next time and complete revenge, Green can only silently bear the scolding of the fans.
Link is still waiting for Durant to return the double reward. Of course, that may also turn into a double shame for Durant and the Warriors!
While fans were discussing Link, Link, the "protagonist" rarely had the opportunity to stay at home leisure.
The league's concussion protection program stipulates that players cannot go to train before passing the test, so Link is equivalent to getting a few days off.
However, Link can't be too indulgent these days. If he doesn't have a good rest and fails to get the test, the trouble will be great.
Unfortunately, Rachel happened to have a job task these days. Otherwise, Link would have had a more pleasant stay during the unexpected holiday these days.
During the days when Link was absent, the Grizzlies were not defeated.
On December 15, in the first game after Link was absent, the Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento Kings 96-92 away, expanding the opening winning streak to 26 games!
In this game, Wade took the banner of the offensive core. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, turning the Kings' outside line upside down.
This is the role of a veteran like Wade. Link is very relieved to hand over the game to a player like him.
Although the Grizzlies finally lost the game back to back against the Kings the next day, and their unbeaten golden body since the beginning of the season was broken.
But no one will be upset about this, and fans are already very satisfied with the Grizzlies' current record.
The record of 26 wins and 1 loss is still unmatched in the entire league.
You know, the current record of the defending champion Warriors is "only" 23 wins and 4 losses. As for other teams, it is even more unparalleled.
After two games, Link also ushered in two good things.
The first thing is that Rachel finally came home, and they can start creating people shamelessly... No, they are starting a sweet life.
The second good thing came from the chief team doctor Moon, who officially notified Link to participate in the league's concussion test.
If the test passes, Link will be able to come back from the front line immediately!
Although he missed only two games, Link felt that his body was almost rusted.
On December 17, under the leadership of Moon, Link officially arrived at the scene of the concussion test.
At first, Link thought that concussion tests were just to do some simple computer tests. As a result, when he walked into the training hall, Link was stunned.
"Is this a physical fitness test or a concussion test..."
Looking at the pile of equipment and trainers in front of him, Link couldn't help but complain.
"Yes, I forgot that you have no experience in this area. So let me give you a brief explanation. There are seven official concussion tests, except for computer tests, the other six are physical tests."
"What!?" Link swallowed, he was completely unprepared!
"From fixed bike practice, to jogging, to agility testing, to unconfrontational team training... After each of these procedures, make sure that the symptoms of concussion do not recur. Finally, NBA will also ask the neurologic medical expert they hired in charge of concussion to evaluate you, and only after you get professional advice will determine whether you can play. You don't have to be nervous, and if you really have no problems, the test will not go wrong."
Moon patted Link's shoulders to show comfort. Link curled his lips. Fortunately, Rachel asked him to rest early yesterday, otherwise he might have been terrified today.
Soon, Link realized the power of the League's concussion test. The test requirements were not ordinary strict and very harsh.
After warming up, you can ride a bicycle for 30 minutes and run for 30 minutes, and you can't stop in the middle! The heartbeat must be accelerated to more than 160 per minute. It is said that this can truly simulate the athlete's situation in the competition.
After Link was so tired that he was half dead, he had to participate in 30 minutes of one-on-one training without stopping, but he still couldn't stop.
After passing, there is still a 30-minute team training, and it cannot be stopped.
And this is just the first round, and such a test will take three rounds in total! After three times, Link did not show any concussion, so that's the end!
After completing the three rounds of tests, Link, who is known for his physical fitness, was exhausted.
If the league allows him to play with a helmet in the future, Link will definitely be the first to support it.
It’s not that I’m afraid of concussion, but that I’m afraid of this concussion test!
Fortunately, after some hard work, the experts finally agreed that Link could play and continue the game in his current situation.
He finally got out of the concussion protection program!
Moon couldn't help laughing as he watched Link lying panting on the wooden floor of the training ground.
Now, there are finally injuries that scare Link. From now on, that kid should be more restrained.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Grizzlies officially announced that Link will return in the next day against the Jazz.
So people immediately began to discuss whether the truce in the past few days would affect Link's state.
As a result, in the game against the Jazz on December 18, Link scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists as soon as he returned, and limited the shooting percentage of Jazz top Gordon Hayward to a pitiful 38.5%.
Hubby Brown, who commented on the game, couldn't help but joke, "If Hayward knew that he had to face such a strong opponent, he might have chosen to play e-sports instead of basketball."
With Link's strong performance, the Grizzlies easily killed the Jazz, currently ranked sixth in the West, 103-82.
As it turns out, Link has no problem at all, and his condition has not declined at all compared to before!
Link's return made the Memphis Grizzlies fully armed again.
At this time, all Memphis fans are looking forward to the arrival of Christmas Eve.
Chapter completed!
