Howard broke through the young Azeli and launched an attack on the basket.

If you leave it alone, Howard can easily complete the dunk and score the 34th point in the game!

The most important thing is that if he successfully dunks, the Rockets will swallow the Grizzlies' last 1-point advantage and complete the overtake.

Old Carter then gritted his teeth and rushed up suicide, dragging his nearly 40-year-old body to jump, and collided with Howard in the air.

Although the Grizzlies have taken the initiative since the second quarter, if they take a closer look at the data, they will find that they are actually quite embarrassed.

Butler scored 15 points, but he could no longer play and help Link share the offensive pressure. Gasol scored 10 points, but he could no longer contribute.

Among the remaining people who can beat, there are no one who scored in double digits except Link.

Harris only scored 8 points, and he was restricted in the last three quarters. Carter scored 8 points, you can't ask him to do more. Conley felt bad today and only scored 8 points.

In contrast, the Rockets, Howard scored 32 points, Harden scored 33 points, Beverly scored 14 points, and the "Jets" Terry, who came on the bench, also scored 12 points.

Under normal circumstances, a team with two scored 30 must have won a long time ago.

The reason why the Grizzlies can still be on par with the Rockets and that they can suppress the Rockets for a while before was actually because of Link's 51 points, because he is still holding on!

Since they can't help Link in scoring, the rest of the Grizzlies plan to share the pressure for Link from other places.

That's why Carter was so determined that he didn't want Link's 51 points to be an empty score.

Carter went to stop Howard who had taken off, but there was no need to say much. The "old flying man" was directly knocked out of the bottom line by the strong Howard, and UFO was shot down by King Kong on the Empire State Building.

But likewise, Carter also undermined Howard's dunk, preventing his attempt to score directly.

"Vince Carter actually tried to stop Howard. Was he crazy? Or did he forget his age?" The local commentator in Houston was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Howard had a good chance to dunk, but was killed by Carter.

"Damn it!" Carter lay on the floor, feeling his ribs almost broken.

Although Howard's physical fitness has fallen to its peak, for an elderly defender, Howard's impact is still irresistible.

Tony Allen and Harris ran up and pulled Carter up. When Link saw this scene off the court, his fingers turned white due to clenched fists.

To outsiders, Carter is overestimating his abilities. But Link knew that Carter did this to force Howard to make a free throw.

It is better to let him make a free throw than to let him dunk directly. If Howard only made one of two free throws, he could at least score 1 point for the Grizzlies!

For this one point, Old Carter did not hesitate to face a monster like Howard. He knew that before Link came back, even if he wanted the Rockets to score 1 point less, it would be a victory!

What's more, this is the last round. After this round, Link will come back!

At this time, there were 3 minutes and 52 seconds left before the end of the game. After a minute of rest, Link was ready in front of the technical table and waited for Howard to make a free throw and then replaced Carter.

Howard stood on the free throw line, and indeed made only one of the two "stable" free throws. Although this still allowed the Rockets to equalize the score, they failed to overtake.

"Damn old man, damn!" Howard cursed in annoyance. This was the second time he had made two free throws because of the Grizzlies' intentional foul.

The first time was Conley who came to stop him. The second time was Carter just now. They rushed up one after another, regardless of the consequences, as if they didn't know the pain and fear!

If Howard did not get fouled but dunked directly, the Rockets would definitely overtake!

As soon as Howard finished the free throw, Joggel used the third-last timeout of his game.

Link stood up, spread his arms and hugged his breathless teammates. He knew that the guys had done their best.

"Sorry, Link, we still let them tie the game." Carter murmured softly in his ears as he hugged Link.

"Don't say that, thank you for your hard work in that minute just now..." Link patted Carter's back, and he could feel the violent ups and downs in Carter's chest.

"Link." Carter let go of his arms and did not leave, but stared at Link's eyes.

"I'm here, Vince."

"Kill those bastards for me!"

Link did not respond, but moved his body.

Link must admit that he is already very tired. After all, this is a back-to-back game. Link played two whole quarters before. Including the minute just now, Link only took a total of three minutes off today!

But for some reason, Link felt that he was full of strength at this moment. As long as he thought, he could temporarily block out the feeling of fatigue.

Perhaps, this is the power of seeking victory.

Everyone has tried their best, and even Old Carter has made every effort. Under such circumstances, Link will not allow failure!

"The timeout is over, I doubt whether the Grizzlies can hold on. They obviously lost points in the fourth quarter. Although Link is back, he only took a minute off. No one knows whether his condition can continue. If his shot is a bit off, the Grizzlies will be finished!"

Van Gundy was worried about Link. The one-minute rest time was too short. But in this minute, the Rockets almost overtook the score. It can be seen that Link did not have the conditions to continue to rest.

No matter whether Linkhuo has a good rest, he must appear.

"It's useless to come, don't keep struggling!" As soon as Link came on the court, Howard shouted with great might.

But this time, Link ignored Howard. Instead, he ignored him and walked towards the bottom line.

From now until the end of the game, Link wants to focus on one thing - scoring!

Azelley handed the baseline ball to Conley, and the game started again. Both sides returned to the same starting line in the last 3 minutes and 52 seconds. But the Rockets were the main force who scored the double 30s, while the Grizzlies had only a poor touch point guard, a substitute point guard and substitute center who could not score, and an exhausted short four-position.

Putting aside Link, the Grizzlies have no resistance at all. So whether the Rockets can win depends entirely on how much Link can play, and whether he can fight five with one.

McHale had long believed that Link had reached the limit, and he still thought so now. Link's highest score in a single game in his career was 55 points, and he has scored 51 points now, which is a signal that Link has approached his limit.

The Rockets can equalize the score in that minute just now and then they can complete the overtake in the last three minutes!

Ariza didn't want Link to catch the ball, and his defense also had the purpose of consuming Link. But not only did not fear confrontation, but also pushed Ariza away more ruthlessly, and then rushed to the outside of the three-point line to connect Conley.

As soon as Link received the basketball, he turned around outside the three-point line, took off and shot! There was no adjustment at all!

Ariza didn't expect Link to choose such a hurry to take action. When he reached out to seal it, Link had already thrown the ball.

"It's impossible to shoot so quickly..."

Before the local Houston speech was finished, the basketball passed through the net and slapped him in the face.

For Link, it is impossible to score without any ball.

Three-pointers are effective, Link scored the 54th point in the single game!

"This is a super planet, a super planet! This is why Link is unanimously voted MVP. Link's ability at critical moments is definitely the top level among the top, let's wait and see!" Van Gundy clapped his hands excitedly, watching Link's game was simply enjoyable.

"Damn, this can be done!" McHale became nervous. Could it be that Link still has enough energy? 54 points, which has surpassed the Toyota Center's highest score in a single game by 8 points. It is only 1 point away from Link's highest score in his career!

Having already achieved this level, can we still reach the pinnacle?

Then the Rockets attacked, Harden used a European step to shake off Tony Allen and Azeli, and scored his 35th point in the game.

This is Harden's second highest score in a single game this season. Although Harden has many hits today, his shooting percentage in sports wars is actually not bad.

But this is still far from Link's 54 points. Harden and Howard's firepower combined can compete with Link.

The score difference has returned to one point, and it is time for the Grizzlies to make a move again.

McHale shouted on the sidelines, signaling to the Rockets players that Link would double-team as soon as he passed the half.

But Link seemed to have seen through the Rockets' strategy, so he did not personally hold the ball and pass the half.

He still let Conley control the ball, but he slowly ran to the middle distance on the right without any hesitation.

If Link rashly double-teams without a ball, he will leak others. With Conley's ability, he can definitely send the ball to the open space.

So, Ariza could only go one-on-one with Link again. Howard was dealing with him near the three-second zone. He wanted to double-team Link, but if he did this, it would be equivalent to giving the basket directly to Azeli. Therefore, he could only wait for Link to hold the ball before wrapping up.

Link leaned against Ariza. Ariza instantly understood Link's thoughts, so she began to fight with Link, hoping to push Link out.

Back-to-back singles usually start the war before the ball is received.

But Ariza was surprised to find that Link's lower plate was as stable as a rock! Logically speaking, Link should be very tired now and it is impossible to be so stable.

Link's perseverance is far beyond Ariza's expectations.

After Link got the basketball, Howard immediately stepped forward to double-team. But Howard was still not fast enough. Before he double-teamed, Link turned over and jumped into the game.

Everyone in the Rockets stared at the basketball, and Howard even forgot to go back and fight for rebounds.

"Impossible, Impossible..." McHale silently said in his heart. Link could not score consecutive goals under such circumstances. He was approaching his limit and he was exhausted!

McHale's thinking is correct, because ordinary stars do have their limits.

But what great stars are best at is to constantly break through their own limits.

"I got in, Link hit a row! 56 points, Link broke the highest score in his single game in his career! The great Link, the great unanimous MVP. He was simply unstoppable, and the Rockets' defense was useless in front of him."

Ariza collapsed. He spent most of today against Link. Although Link's 56 points were not all taken by him, at least Link also scored 40 points on Ariza's head.

If you are hit by a opponent in a single game, no matter how determined the defender is, he will be mentally disintegrated.

The rest of the Rockets were also somewhat hit. They restricted everyone in the Grizzlies, but they could not limit Link.

Rockets players are thinking about a question now - Link may be really invincible!

"56 points, Link took out all his scoring skills. If a student player asks in the future, how to become an all-around scorer, the coach can throw it directly to him Link's video of today's game. In Link, you can learn almost all the offensive skills!"

Van Gundy now admires Link very much, and admires him so much that he is impressed. Although the situation is getting harder, Link is becoming more and more courageous as he fights. He is like a spring. The more you press, the more powerful he rebounds.

On the contrary, the Rockets' generals' determination was a little shaken by Link. In the subsequent attack, every player of the Rockets became timid, fearing that they would not be able to make the team's back.

At critical moments, not everyone has the courage to stand up and shoot.

In the end, Harden had to bite the bullet and make a three-point jumper when the opportunity was not very good. But this time, he failed to make the ball.
