Reverse Growth Superstar - 1307
In the Federal Express Arena, fans did not even dare to gasp.
Everyone clenched their fists, sweating profusely, staring at the stadium, unwilling to look away even for a second.
At this time, the Grizzlies and Bucks game has come to the most intense moment.
In the last 33 seconds, the Grizzlies held the ball and they only led the Bucks by 1 point. If this offense can be completed, the initiative will be completely in the Grizzlies’ hands.
This game is as fierce as people think. Although this game is just a foreplay of the “War of the Century”, it is also very important.
The Grizzlies need to win their 32nd straight game, and the Bucks hope to find a way to beat the Grizzlies.
Today, the Bucks really played well.
Antetokounmpo once again showed extremely high efficiency. His scoring in the first half hit the Grizzlies’ defense hard.
In the second half, the Grizzlies began to shrink, so the Bucks shooters stood up.
Today, the Bucks made a very high three-pointer, almost a shot.
Antetokounmpo relied on one move to break through and score crazy assists, and the shooters also relied on the extremely high three-pointers and the Grizzlies to bite to the present.
The last time the two sides played against each other, the Grizzlies relied on Link’s last-minute three-point craze to take away the game.
Today, the Bucks have a bit of a tooth for a tooth.
At this time, Antetokounmpo stood in front of Link.
He knew very well that even if Link scored a two-pointer, the Bucks still had a chance.
Today they made such a high three-pointer percentage, and they are likely to be able to tie the score at the last minute.
Of course, it’s best to prevent Link from scoring, but that’s an ideal state after all.
Antetokounmpo now dare not pack up votes and say that he must be able to guard Link and not let him score.
But he will try not to let Link make a three-pointer.
So, this time the Greeks defended Link very closely, almost holding Link in his arms.
The referee also closed one eye for this. At the last moment of this critical game, no referee dared to change the trend of the game easily.
The matters of the players still have to be settled by the players themselves. So as long as it is not too much, the referee will generally not blow.
Link didn’t complain. After playing in the finals for so many years, to be honest, Link has long been used to this kind of confrontation intensity.
He pushed Antetokounmbo away first, then went around to the side where Jokic had set up his screen, and walked beyond the three-point line.
At this time, Conley gave the ball to Link at the right time. Link dribbled to the top of the arc along the three-point line, Antetokounmpo posted it again!
When Link reached the top of the arc, he suddenly pulled his crotch and took a step back!
Although this move made Link farther away from the three-point line, for a player with “unlimited range”, even if he is far away from the three-point line, it is very threatening.
Seeing this, Antetokounmpo rushed forward. In any case, he couldn’t let Link easily start.
But Antetokounmpo’s center of gravity has just been raised, but Link, who was planning to shoot, turned into a sudden.
worship Buddha fake action!
Link didn’t jump too deep, he just passed by Antetokounmpo, and then right next to the Greek, stopping the jumper from the three-point line!
Antetokounmpo hurriedly reached out his hand from the side, but to no avail.
Link had already shot before he interfered.
All the fans in the audience stared at the basketball, and the tension was pushed to the highest point.
Whether this shot can make a hit is likely to directly determine whether the “War of the Century” will start, and whether the 33-game winning streak will become a reality.
This is an ordinary three-point jumper, but it is also an unusual three-point jumper.
After Link landed, he kept the right arm that was raised during the shot. He hadn’t received any interference just now. It stands to reason that this kind of ball should
“brush!”
As expected, I entered. Link hit a three-pointer, leaving the Milwaukee Bucks with 12 seconds.
But it scored three points, but it gave the Grizzlies a 4 point lead!
12 seconds to chase 4 points, unless the Bucks can create a more exaggerated miracle. Otherwise, the result of this game will be finalized!
“Go in, Link really didn’t have any softness. My God, I don’t remember how many times he hit a fatal blow at a critical moment. He is an incredible player. If people want to select a key ability in the future, A strong superstar, Link is definitely the undisputed number one!”
In the excitement of the fans and the commentator, Link raised his arms, and his two hands were compared with three fingers.
33, Link has already started to move towards that number!
In the last 12 seconds, the Milwaukee Bucks still did not give up. But embarrassingly, at this most critical moment, Antetokounmpo, as the leading star, could not get in.
There is no way, when you have an obvious shortcoming, you have to go through such an awkward moment.
Now the team needs a star to come forward, but the three-pointer Ann Antetokounmpo can only stand idly by.
Bucks coach Budenhorse can also choose to get a quick two point and then force the Grizzlies to the free throw line.
But no matter who gets to the free throw line, it doesn’t seem to be a big win.
So actually the only option for the Bucks is to shoot three pointers.
The Bucks used up the last timeout. After returning, the second master Middleton used heavy screens to shoot a three-pointer.
However, Dillon Brooks’s never-giving up defensive attitude allowed him to finally keep up with his opponent.
The moment Middleton took the shot, he found that Brooks actually interfered.
coupled with its huge psychological pressure, finally made Middleton lose his shooting rhythm.
“Boom!”
The basket made a crisp sound, and Middleton’s three-pointer hit the front of the basket!
This is a fatal strike.
“It’s over, 32 consecutive victories, the Memphis Grizzlies are one step closer to the historic record! The Milwaukee Bucks failed to stop them, let us look forward to the Battle of the Century at Staples tomorrow night!”
Although Middleton hit the iron, the game was over with 5 seconds left.
But that doesn’t make sense anymore. The Bucks have not paused, and their defeat is irreversible.
Looking at Link who raised his arms on the court, Budenhorse felt weak.
If the Bucks and Grizzlies actually meet in the finals, can they beat the Grizzlies?
Budenhorse shook his head, he had no answer in his heart.
In other words, he actually knows the answer vaguely, but he doesn’t want to admit it.
In the last five seconds, the Bucks players still fouled Conley’s tactics.
Kangli made two free throws steadily, which completely declared the end of the game.
In the end, the 7-point difference remained until the end of the game. 117 to 110, the Milwaukee Bucks once again died under Link’s three-pointer, and they personally took the chance of tying the winning streak to the Grizzlies.
When Link fingered Patrick Ewing’s jersey in New York, some people laughed dismissively: “33-game winning streak? How is this possible.”
But now, there is only one step left to make history!
After the game, the popularity of the “War of the Century” skyrocketed instantly. Today’s game can only be regarded as a “prologue”.
Tomorrow’s duel between the Grizzlies and the Lakers is the real highlight.
Regardless of whether Link can eventually tie the 33-game winning streak, he is already a winner.
Because in this era, it is almost impossible to achieve 30+ consecutive victories!
The Lakers’ 33-game winning streak appeared in the early 1970s. During that time, the league experienced too many player changes due to the expansion and the ABA.
In the entire league, there are not many really competitive teams.
It’s like you throw the current Grizzlies into the Development League, and they can still set a winning streak.
Several of the longest winning streaks in NBA history occurred in the early 70s.
This is no coincidence!
To put it bluntly, the Lakers’ 33-game winning streak hasn’t been shaken for so many years because it was the result of the right time and place.
Now that the league is very competitive, wanting to win more than 30 games in a row is simply a fantasy.
But the Grizzlies did it!
They are already the creators of miracles~www.mtlnovel.com~ So in the next game, whether you win or lose, the Grizzlies and Link are heroes.
But obviously, Link didn’t want to use this as an excuse.
In an interview on the sidelines after the game, Link said: “We are all very tired, and we were exhausted to the end in today’s game. But we didn’t get a rest, but we wanted to head towards Los Angeles immediately. Thank me. Without their help, the Grizzlies could not have made it this far.”
Everyone thought that Link would look down the stairs next, and would say something like “Tomorrow, just do my best.”
However, Link’s attitude is still very tough: “Although it is very hard, the reward is huge. We will continue to work hard, so tomorrow night, everyone will witness history together!”
After finishing speaking, Link pointed to the camera, and then returned to the player channel amidst the cheers of the crowd.
On social media, a bunch of people immediately said that they would expect Link to set a record and cheer everyone on the Grizzlies.
After Michael Jordan, this is the first time a player is so loved by fans.
Now, the pressure is all on the Lakers.
LeBron James was forced to push to a crossroads in history.
But he does not want to be the dust of history.
He and his team have to make the final resistance under the historical wheel.
