: 841: Refresh the "strong" perception

Latest website: The personal highest score record of Toyota Center belongs to Harden, who has just joined the Rockets just a few years ago.
On February 20, 2013, in the Rockets' home game against the Thunder, Harden made 14 of 19 shots and 11 of 12 free throws, scoring 46 points. And these 46 points are the highest personal score record of the Toyota Center.
Many people may be surprised, after all, Harden has only joined the Rockets for a few years. Speaking of the Toyota Center's highest scoring record, it is easy to think of Yao Ming and McGrady, or the old superstars who came to the Toyota Center to play away games.
However, when McGrady played for the Rockets, he scored 48 points in a single game, but that was on the away game. Yao Ming's highest score in a single game at Toyota Center is 41 points, which is still some distance away from first place.
In fact, it is not Yao Ming or McGrady who ranks behind Harden, but Scola. The Argentine has scored 44 points in the Toyota Center, which is the second highest individual score in a single game at the Toyota Center.
"Big Dream" Olajuwon scored 52 points at the Rockets' home court, but the Rockets' home court was not at the Toyota Center.
Therefore, a magical fact is that the young Harden is indeed the player with the most points in a single game at the Toyota Center.
But today, this record is likely to be rewritten.
Because the half-time game is about to end now, Link has scored 28 points!
"Link, it's Link again! God, how many goals did he score in the second quarter? The Rockets changed a lot of people to defend him, but none of them worked!"
When Link used a toss to score a goal on Motai Junas, Jeff Van Gundy's mood was out of control.
28 points in a single game, which is already a very high score. But Link now scored 28 points in halftime, and his efficiency is quite high!
Beside Van Gundy, his partner with whom he had been holding the bar was speechless. He once said that Link could not stand up a team alone, but Link did it.
The entire second quarter was almost a solo performance by Link. When the Grizzlies opened up the space and speeded up the rhythm, Link simply did what he wanted.
The Rockets also thought about double-teaming, but Carter and Gasol's three-pointers were unrelenting. If you dare to let him go, the Rockets have to fall into a passive position.
If it weren't for the Rockets' own offense played very well today, it is estimated that the game is now in garbage time.
Being scored by Link again, Motai Yunas felt more uncomfortable than anyone else. So far, the Lithuanian score is still zero! Link did what he said and really left Motai Yunas without a point.
On the defensive end, Motai Yunas is almost autistic by Link. He feels that he is more than 10 centimeters taller than Link's. No matter how much interference, Link can change the goal.
Lithuanians were also angry from the beginning and gradually became scared.
Now as soon as he confronted Link, Motai Yunas was extremely nervous. And when you get nervous, your performance gets worse. The defense is also scared, and the shot is also inaccurate.
The second quarter ended with 30 seconds left, and the Rockets had the final shot.
At this point, the Rockets are 3 points behind the Grizzlies. Although not much behind, when the Grizzlies were troubled by injuries and fouls, and the Rockets' own shooting percentage was not bad, the Rockets failed even if they were 1 point behind.
Harden held the ball on the perimeter, waiting for the last few seconds to pass. When the time on the timer became "8", he called Howard to cover and broke through immediately!
Harden's scoring in the second quarter has become much weaker than that in the first quarter. Tony Allen's defense has made Harden still have not fully found the rhythm. Both the shooting percentage and the efficiency of clashing are much lower than the first quarter.
So Harden did not succeed. Seeing Tony Allen still guarding himself, Harden hit the ground at the moment of Howard's pick and roll and sent the ball to Howard!
Cut inside the frame after the pick and roll, which is one of Howard's favorite offensive methods. After rushing up, Howard's offense will become more deterrent.
But seeing Gasol, who was tall and long in arms, was standing under the basket with his arms high, Howard hesitated.
It would be difficult for him to put the ball in through Gasol if he violently directly. If Gasol made an offensive foul, it would be more than worthwhile.
At this moment, Howard glanced at Motel Yunus who cut towards the basket. So, when the 24 seconds offensive time was about to run out, Howard chose to pass!
"Pass the ball again, this time it's Motai Yunas, he went to the basket after receiving the ball!"
This time, all Rockets fans felt that the ball should be scored. In the second quarter, Motai Yunas was indeed tortured by Link. But even if the shot fails, the layup and dunk should always be scored.
Motel Yunus is full of energy, ready to wreak havoc on the basket. Link said he could not get a point? Now let him regret saying that!
Because Gasol was blocking Howard, he couldn't interfere with Motel Yunus for the first time.
Motel Yunus took two steps after receiving the ball. As long as he can slam the ball in, the Rockets are only 1 point behind. Moreover, he can be regarded as breaking Link's curse.
But just when Motai Yunas was about to push the ball into the basket, Link killed it from the side and instantly jumped to the same height as Motai Yunas.
"You can't get a point after saying that."
Link murmured in a low voice, and then with a harder arm, he directly fanned the basketball out!
Motai Yunas felt that his heart was petrified in an instant, he gave up!
Motel Junas won the main position in the Serie A giants Benetton before he became an adult. His experience in professional competitions is more abundant than that of Link's fourth-year draft pick.
But today, in just one game, Link has refreshed Motai Yunas's perception of the concept of "strong". He had never been so tortured by any opponent before, and Link let Lithuanians experience real despair.
Link opened his arms to maintain his balance and landed heavily. This time, when he looked at Motai Yunas again, the other party was no longer angry.
At this moment, Link could only see fear in his eyes.
The 24-second offense time is up, the ball is exchanged, and the Grizzlies have a 5-second offensive opportunity.
"Link blocked the dunk that Motai Yunas almost must make. It is not that simple to score points on Link. Don't think the Rockets are safe. Five seconds is enough for Link to do a lot of things. !"
McHale on the sidelines shook his head, very helpless.
It seems that the goal was a failure caused by a missed attack by Motai Junas.
But in fact, this ball was doomed to fail since Harden and Howard played the pick and roll.
When Harden and Howard did not dare to take the initiative to attack unscrupulously, when they were shocked by the Grizzlies defense, it shows that the Rockets have lost control of the initiative of the game.
Before they knew it, they had been suppressed.
In the last 5 seconds, the Grizzlies won the final attack before the end of the half game. The Rockets were under great pressure, and throughout the second quarter, they had nothing to do with Link. In the last round, he also knew that a miracle would not happen.
As long as Link receives the ball, they have nothing to do.
Gasol sent a long pass to the baseline and the goal was Link. Although Ariza pressed close to stop Link from catching the ball, Link got rid of him by just hanging up a screen.
As soon as Link got the ball near the center line, Ariza and Beverly posted it. At this point, Link didn't even approach the three-point line. But even so, the Rockets still adopted a double-teaming strategy early.
They have been beaten by Link, and in the last 5 seconds, the Rockets will defend one to the death!
Link didn't even think about it, and immediately handed the ball to Conley, who was emptied. Beverly had to retreat. Conley may not have scored that burst, but it doesn't mean that it can be released. Today, the Grizzlies’ freshmen and four juniors have a very impressive shooting percentage from the outside.
Conley didn't panic because there was not much time left in the game. After Beverly opened, he gave the ball to Link again!
Today, Link undoubtedly has unlimited firepower!
When Link received the basketball, he just cut into the free throw line, so he immediately stopped shooting.
At this time, in addition to Ariza, Howard followed and interfered with Link's shot.
At this moment, it is equivalent to two people blocking Link!
Ordinary players are seriously disturbed by one person, and their hit rates are very low. But Link suffered two simultaneous defenses, and Rockets fans still couldn't relax.
They all prayed in their hearts, hoping that Link could miss the ball.
But it is a pity that Link has never known what it means to be kind to the enemy.
Under the interference of Ariza and Howard's big hands, Link leaned back slightly in the air, and quickly shot, avoiding the cover.
Howard immediately turned his head after landing and saw the basketball knock to the front of the basket. At the same time, the red light on the backboard flashed and the second quarter ended!
Howard let out a sigh of relief, and finally prevented Link from it! But before he had time to grin, the basketball that fell twice passed through the net!
He and Ariza hadn't changed anything, Link seemed to ignore their defense and still shot the ball beautifully.
"Go in, a buzzer-stop jumper! So now, Link has scored 30 points in the half game! 30 points in the half game, gentlemen and ladies, this is the highest individual half since the start of the season. Field scoring record! The Memphis Grizzlies were in trouble today, but Link, he alone turned the situation around!"
After seeing Link's goal, Harden stood there for a long time without responding. 30 points in the half, and most of the goals are based on individual singles, not many free throws.
Under such circumstances, 30 points can be scored in the half. Harden thinks this is incredible~EbookFREE.me~ Link did not celebrate the goal too high-profile, he just clenched his fist and gave it a strong wave. Walked into the player channel with his teammates.
The injuries of Randolph and Iguodala did greatly reduce the Grizzlies' strength.
But if the Rockets think that they can subvert the Grizzlies' rule, it would be wrong!
Link promised that as long as he is still there, the Grizzlies' rule will not be interrupted this year.
Jeff Van Gundy looked at Link's 30 points in the half and then at Toyota Center's highest score of 46 points.
Today, he has always had a strong feeling.
He has always felt that a new record is likely to be born. As early as when Link led the Grizzlies to equalize in the second quarter, he felt this way.
Now it seems that Link is not far behind breaking the Toyota Center’s highest scoring record...
