473: Only one All-Star? Monthly Pass)

"He was a hungry beast today, so hungry that he ate all the rebounds!"

Finally, Hubby Brown can only use this sentence to describe Link in this game.

This sentence appeared in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, with Link and Rudy Guy again, and long rebounds again.

This time, Guy and Link, who were unwilling to accept, took off continuously and lit the basketball three or four times.

Guy was very upset today. He thought he would lose, but he didn't expect that he would lose so badly. The Magic was 18 points behind, and he only scored 15 points. And in terms of his most proud athletic ability, he also lost to Link again and again.

So this time, Guy worked very hard. He was not only competing with Link, but also competing with himself.

"I must grab a rebound on his head, sure!" Guy told himself in his heart.

So, Link and Guy took off continuously. In the first few times, both of them touched the rebounds at the same time and pointed the falling basketball into the air again and again.

But continuous jumping is not an easy job. In the last moment, Guy no longer had much strength, so the jumping height was a little shorter than usual.

In this way, he let Link win the fifth offensive rebound in this game! At the same time, this is also Link's 15th rebound in this game, a career high!

Then, there was Hubby Brown's sentence, "He is a hungry beast today, so hungry that he ate all the rebounds!"

After Guy landed, he no longer had the strength to chase Link again. He watched Link, who had grabbed the offensive rebound, turned around and wiped himself, reached the middle distance, and made a gentle jump shot.

When this "short worker" who signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies walked into the training hall of the Federal Express Arena, Guy didn't look at him directly. After all, Link was just cut by the Rockets. If he really had the strength, would the Rockets sign a second 10-day contract with him?

Guy thought to himself that he and this guy would not be teammates for too long.

As a result, they really didn't be teammates for too long. But it was Guy himself who took the lead in leaving the Grizzlies.

"The ball went in, the Orlando Magic fell behind 20 points, and they were defeated! Coach Jac Vaughan called for a stop to play. After the timeout came back, the game should be garbage time." After Hubby Brown said that, he retrieved Link's data on his tablet.

"34 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists, Link turned into a rebounding machine today and won a large double-double! 15 rebounds, which is also the highest number of rebounds in a single game in Link's career so far! Moreover, 5 of them are frontcourt rebounds. Today, Link is extremely violent."

Link walked off the court, slapped Stevens in high fives, and sat comfortably on the bench.

I really had a good fight today. After two days of enduring, Link released all his strength today.

Today's game made Link initially realize his current situation. If he was to welcome the playoffs in such a situation, Link felt for the first time that he hoped that time would be faster.

In the studio t.nt, Charles Barkley looked embarrassed. A few days ago, he said that the Magic might be upset at the FedEx Arena, and he said that Guy might be out of the blue.

As a result, the Magic are now behind 20 points. Guy's 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a 41.4% shooting percentage make it difficult for him to compete with Link.

Barkley could see that Guy wanted to explode, he was working hard all over the game, and he really wanted to win at the Federal Express Arena.

But unfortunately, Link used his hard power to completely suppress Guy. Only then did Barkley realize that Link and Guy were no longer at the same level.

Although Guy is also a star player, not all the stars are the same.

It's like, would you think Guy and James are athletes of the same level?

"Charles, you have to be glad that you didn't make a bet on kissing your ass this time." Kenny Smith started to swipe.

Barkley just smiled and said nothing. Although the Magic was defeated today, the game was quite good to see Link's wonderful performance.

After returning from the timeout, both sides indeed replaced the main lineup, and the game completely entered garbage time.

On the bench, Randolph and Gasol were both complaining, "Link snatched all our rebounds."

"Don't worry, I'll have more days to grab your rebounds in the future." Link was in a good mood. Grant Hill's excellent state that was not able to continue back then, now, he will continue!

A few minutes later, the electronic beep ended the massacre. 105 to 82, the Orlando Magic lost the game by 23 points away.

A few days ago, the Magic almost overwhelmed the defending champion Heat, and they only lost to the Heat by 2 points in the end. But this does not mean that they can get a advantage on the Grizzlies.

Because maybe, the Grizzlies are stronger than the Heat now?

※※※

Link's perfect data of 34+15+7 was touted by many media the next day.

When the Grizzlies fought with the Thunder, even if Durant met Guy, he could not get such data, but Link did it.

The highlights of Link and the Magic were played on the TV, because there were too many exciting goals yesterday. If you remove the free throws, you can basically all of them on the highlights.

Link's outstanding performance and the Grizzlies' incredible record, coupled with this special time in January, finally asked countless basketball commentators a question, "How far is the Memphisman from the championship?"

That night, on a local talk show in Miami, the famous Heat team reporter Anthony Qian En was invited to become a guest on today's show.

The team reporters are a very special group. Since they often report on a team regularly, they are very familiar with the players and know many inside stories about NBA teams.

Anthony Qianen is not only close to Heat players, but also has an old acquaintance with Heat general manager Pat Riley. Therefore, Qianen is still well-known in the circle of Heat and team reporters.

Tonight, the host talked about a lot of topics with Qian En, including what the Heat players usually do in the locker room, which of the Big Three is the hardest to interview, etc.

But it was not until the end of the show that the talk show host brought out the most important question today. This question is the hot topic recently, "How far is the Memphis people from the championship? Can they break the Heat's defending title?"

"This is a good question, because the Memphis Grizzlies have performed very well recently. They are unbeatable for the regular season this year. Link even scored 34 points and 15 rebounds in the last game. Indeed, they have reason to be regarded as winners, but "Chun En collapsed a lot at the beginning, but he couldn't escape one.

"But I think the chances of the Grizzlies defeating the Heat are slim. The reason is very simple. The Grizzlies only have Link, one All-Star player, while the Heat have three. The playoffs are a stage for competing for stars. Indeed, the Lakers' experience this year tells us that a piling of stars may not necessarily win, but without stars, they will definitely not win."

Anthony Chanen was confident and continued to add, "Of course Iguodala was selected for the All-Star lineup, as did Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, but that was once. And the Miami Heat, not counting before, had three people selected for the All-Star Game this season alone. So, I stick to my point of view."

Link did not watch this Miami local TV program, and he didn't care about how a Heat reporter evaluated the Grizzlies.

But Anthony Qian En's remarks were spread on the Internet the next day.
