997: God-level performance? Then kill the gods!(2/2)
Link passed by James who fell, drove straight into the penalty area, and threw the ball gently.
Mozgov tried his best to jump up and found that he was only a slight difference from basketball!
But this gap is the most desperate.
Chris Paul once said that his favorite thing is the feeling of watching the basketball rubbing the big man's fingertips into the net after a throwing shot. The big man's helpless expression and the victory of making big profits made Paul full of accomplishment.
At this moment, Link also felt the fun of it.
The basketball fell into the net accurately. When James got up from the ground, he could only see Link turning around and raising his arms at him.
"I scored, the ball went in! Link killed the game, and he completely ended the suspense of this game! Under the 9 points behind in the last 8 minutes, Link scored 21 points in a single quarter with full firepower in the fourth quarter, leading the Grizzlies back and forth to win!"
Mike Bryn could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. Although there were still about 20 seconds before the end of the game, Link's just-drawing shot gave the Grizzlies an 8-point lead!
Theoretically, the Cavaliers still have a chance.
But realistically speaking, the Grizzlies have already led 1-0 in the finals!
"Incredible, this is a great reversal. Link scored 51 points in the whole game, which is the second time in his career in the playoffs to score 50+ points in a single game! If there are really superheroes in this world, it is Link!"
Two single-game games in the playoffs, this is a seemingly ordinary but very terrifying record.
First of all, in the entire NBA history, even if the degree of professionalism is not high and the data statistics are incomplete, only 21 people can enter the list of 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs.
If the range is further narrowed to two or more times and scored 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs, there will be only four people left on this list.
Now, Link is the fifth one!
Whether it is 21 points in a single quarter or 51 points in a single game, this is an extremely crazy performance. No wonder, an old freak who has seen countless big scenes will be crazy about Link.
Kelly Irving looked at Link who raised his arms, and looked at James, who had just gotten up from the ground and was still in a mess. He was greatly impacted in his heart!
After partnering with James for a season, Irving knew how terrible James was. He always believed that with the two sides' lineups being evenly matched, it was impossible for anyone in this world to defeat James!
He thought so until he chatted with James before the war.
But today, he witnessed the whole process of James losing to Link in 1-on-1.
James' performance today is already very exaggerated, with 44 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, playing for 45 minutes without stopping, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%. His performance today is no worse than his performance in the sixth game of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals.
But it is precisely because James has performed well that Irving is shocked.
James has even played this kind of god-level performance and cannot defeat Link. Where is Link's upper limit?
The young Anthony Davis did not touch Link's upper limit. Lillard, who came out of adversity of 1-3, did not force Link's upper limit, and the Warriors' death five-small did not force Link's upper limit.
Now, even the super god James, who had sacrificed the Eyes of Death, failed to force Link to the upper limit, which was really beyond Irving's boldest imagination.
The young Irving felt the extraordinary part of this battlefield for the first time. The NBA finals were simply a fight between gods...
After Link's throw, the morale of the Cavaliers completely bottomed out. Sure enough, in the next 20 seconds, they had no chance of organizing any decent counterattack.
James made a 2+1 under the basket, but it was useless.
In the end, the score was frozen at 110. The Grizzlies not only survived the most difficult four minutes, but also successfully reversed the game in the last 8 minutes. As the "lower dog" in people's hearts in this game, the Grizzlies once again went against the current!
Link won James from his personal data to the results of the game, and he won a nearly perfect victory!
James looked at the dome of the Federal Express Arena again, then lowered his head and left straight away.
Chapter completed!
