Latest website: Howard broke through the immature Azeri and launched an impact towards the basket.
If left alone, Howard can easily complete a dunk and score the 34th point of the game!
Most importantly, if he dunks successfully, the Rockets will swallow the Grizzlies' final point advantage and complete the lead.
Old Carter gritted his teeth and rushed up suicidely, dragging his nearly 40-year-old body to the jump, and collided with Howard in the air.
Although the Grizzlies have the initiative since the second quarter, if you scrutinize the data, you will find that they are actually quite embarrassed.
Butler scored 5 points, but he was knocked off the court and he could no longer play to help Link share the offensive pressure. Gasol scored 0, but he couldn't contribute any more.
Among the remaining players who can play, except for Link, none of them scored in double figures.
Harris only scored points, and he was severely restricted in the last three quarters. Carter scored points, you can't ask him to do more. Conley didn't feel good today, and he only had points recorded.
On the other hand, the Rockets have 32 points for Howard, 33 points for Harden, 4 points for Beverly, and 2 points for the "Jets" Terry who came off the bench.
Under normal circumstances, a team with two scoring 30 points must have won.
And the reason why the Grizzlies can be equal to the Rockets, the reason why they were able to suppress the Rockets before, is actually Link's 5 points, because he is still holding it!
Since Link can't help in scoring, the rest of the Grizzlies intend to share the pressure for Link from other places.
Therefore, Carter is so reluctant to hesitate, he does not want Link's 5 points to be reduced to an empty cut.
Carter went to stop Howard, who had already taken off, and naturally it didn't need to be said. The "Old Trapeze" was knocked out of the bottom line by the strong Howard, and UF was shot down by King Kong on the Empire State Building.
But in the same way, Carter also undermined Howard's dunk and prevented his direct scoring attempt.
"Vince Carter actually tried to stop Howard. Is he crazy? Or, he forgot his age?" The Houston local commentator gritted his teeth with anger, and Howard had a good dunk opportunity, and Carter was taken away.
"Damn!" Carter lay on the floor, feeling that his ribs were about to break.
Although Howard's physical fitness has fallen to its peak, for an elderly defender, Howard's impact is still difficult to resist.
Tony Allen and Harris ran up to get Katla up. Link saw this off the court, his knuckles were all white from clenched fists.
In the eyes of outsiders, Carter is overwhelming. But Link knew that Carter did this to force Howard to free throws.
It is better to let him free throws than to let him dunk. If Howard makes only one of two free throws, at least he can still score for the Grizzlies!
For this point, old Carter did not hesitate to confront a behemoth like Howard. He knew that before Link came back, even if the Rockets scored fewer points, it was a victory!
What's more, this is already the last round. After this round, Link is back!
At this point, there are 3 minutes and 52 seconds left before the end of the game. After the one-minute break, Link was ready in front of the technical stage and waited for Howard to take a free throw to replace Carter.
Howard got to the free throw line and made only one of his two free throws. Although this still allowed the Rockets to equalize, they failed to complete the lead.
"Damn old man, damn!" Howard scolded in annoyance. This was the second time he had made two free throws for deliberate fouls by the Grizzlies.
For the first time, Conley came to stop it. The second time, it was Carter just now. As if they didn't know the pain and fear, they rushed forward one after another, regardless of the consequences!
If Howard had not been fouled but dunked for these two goals, the Rockets would definitely overtake it!
As soon as Howard finished his free throw, Georgel used his third timeout from the bottom of the game.
Link stood up, opened his arms, and hugged his panting teammates. He knew that these guys had done their best.
"Sorry Link, we still let them equalize." Carter muttered softly in his ear as he embraced Link.
"Don't say that, you worked so hard for the minute..." Link patted Carter on the back, and he could feel the violent ups and downs in Carter's chest.
"Link." Carter did not leave after releasing his arms, but stared at Link's eyes.
"I'm here, Vince."
"Kill those for me!"
Link did not respond, but moved his body.
Link must admit that he is already very tired. This is a back-to-back game after all, and Link played two whole quarters before. Counting the minute that just happened, Link has only rested for three minutes today!
But don't know why, Link feels full of power at this time. As long as he wants to, he can temporarily shield the feeling of fatigue.
Perhaps this is the power of the desire to win.
Everyone has tried their best, even the old Carter is completely fighting. Under such circumstances, Link is not allowed to fail!
"The timeout is over. I doubt that the Grizzlies can hold on. They obviously lost points in the fourth quarter. Although Link is back, he only rested for one minute. No one knows whether his state will continue, he The Grizzlies will be over if there is any point in their shots!"
Van Gundy squeezed a sweat for Link, and the one-minute rest time was too short. But in this minute, the Rockets almost surpassed the score. This shows that Link does not have the conditions to continue to rest.
No matter if Lin Kexiu hasn't rested well, he must play.
"It won't help you come, don't continue struggling!" As soon as Link came on the court, Howard yelled out loud.
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 only wants to focus on one thing-scoring!
Azeri handed the ball to Conley, the game restarted, and the two sides returned to the same starting line in the last 3 minutes and 52 seconds. But the Rockets are the main force that cut the double 30, and the Grizzlies have only one main point guard who doesn't feel good, a backup shooting guard and backup center who can't score, and a short and exhausted four. Number position.
Leaving Link aside, the Grizzlies have no resistance at all. So whether the Rockets can win depends on how much Link can play and whether he can win one against five.
McHale thought that Link was at his limit, and he still thinks so. Link's career highest score in a single game is 55 points, and he has now scored 5 points, which is a signal that Link has approached the limit.
The Rockets can equalize the score in that minute and complete the lead in the last three minutes!
Ariza didn't want Link to catch the ball directly, and his defense also had the purpose of consuming Link. But instead of being afraid of confrontation, Link pushed Ariza away more rudely, and then went to the three-point line outside Ying Kangli.
As soon as Link received the basketball, he turned around directly outside the three-point line, took off, and shot! No adjustments at all!
Ariza didn't expect Link would choose such a hasty shot, and when he reached out to seal it, Link had already shot the ball.
"Shooting so quickly, it's impossible..."
Before the Houston native spoke, the basketball went through the net and slapped him.
For Link, it is impossible to score without any goals.
Three points are valid, Link scored the 54th point in a single game!
"This is the giant planet, the giant planet! That's why Link is the unanimous VP. Link's ability at critical moments is definitely the top of the top, let's wait and see!" Van Gundy clapped his hands excitedly and watched Link's game. enjoy.
"Damn, you can have all of this!" McHale became nervous, is it possible that Link has spare energy? 54 points, which has surpassed the highest score in a single game at the Toyota Center. It's only a difference from Link's career high!
We have already achieved this level, can we reach the top? ?
Then the Rockets attacked, Harden shook Tony Allen and Azerley with a European layup and scored his 35th point in the field.
This is Harden's second-highest score in a single game this season. Although Harden has a lot of hits today, his shooting percentage in sports games is actually not bad.
But this is far from Link's 54 points. Harden and Howard's firepower combined can compete with Link.
The point difference is back to one point, and it's time for the Grizzlies to make another move.
McHale yelled from the sidelines to signal to the Rockets players that Link would double-team just after halftime.
But Link seemed to see through the Rockets' strategy, so he did not personally hold the ball for half the time.
He still let Conley control the ball, but he ran to the right mid-range empty-handed.
If you rashly double-team Link without the ball, you will leak others out. With Conley's ability, he can definitely send the ball to the open.
So again, Ariza can only be one-on-one with Link. Howard is trading around the three-second zone. He wants to double-team Link, but if he does, it is equivalent to giving the basket directly to Azeri. Therefore, we can only wait for Link to hold the ball before wrapping it up.
Link leaned on Ariza with his back, and Ariza understood Link's thoughts instantly, so he began to wrestle with Link, hoping to push Link out.
Back-up singles, usually before the ball is received, the war has already begun.
But Ariza was surprised to find that Link's bottom plate was as solid as a rock! It stands to reason that Link should be very tired now, it is impossible to be that stable.
Link's perseverance far exceeded Ariza's expectations.
After Link got the basketball, Howard immediately stepped forward to double-team. But Howard was still not fast enough. Before he doubled up, Link turned over to complete a jumper.
Everyone on the Rockets stared at the basketball, and Howard even forgot to go back and grab the rebounds.
"Impossible, impossible..." McHale said silently in his heart. It is impossible for Link to score consecutive goals under such circumstances. He is already close to the limit, and he is exhausted!
McHale's thinking is also right, because ordinary stars do have their limits.
But what great players do best is to constantly push their limits.
"Go in, Link hit consecutive hits! With 56 points, Link broke his career highest score! Great Link, great unanimous VP. He is simply unstoppable, and the Rockets' defense is almost useless in front of him. "
Ariza collapsed. Today he spent most of his time playing against Link. Although Link's 56 points were not all taken on his head, it should not be said that Link also scored 40 points on Ariza at least. .
After being bombarded with so many points in a single game, no matter how firm a defender is, it will have a mental breakdown.
The rest of the Rockets were also hit somewhat. They restricted everyone in the Grizzlies, but they couldn't restrict Link.
The Rockets players are thinking about a question now-Link may really be invincible!
"56 points, Link took out all his scoring skills. If there is a student player asking how to become an all-around scorer in the future, then the coach can directly throw him Link's video of today's game. In Link's body , You can learn almost all offensive skills!"
Van Gundy now admires Link very much, admiring it all. Although the situation is getting more and more difficult, Link has become more and more courageous. He is like a spring, the more you press, the stronger he rebounds.
Instead, the Rockets generals were shaken by Link's determination. After an offense, every Rockets player became fearful, for fear that he could not shoot and drag the team's back.
At the critical moment, not everyone has the courage to stand up and shoot.
In the end, Harden can only bite the bullet and shoot a three-point jumper when the chance is not good. But this time, he failed to make the ball.
"Harden didn't make it. This goal may change the trend of the game! At the critical moment, any miss may ruin the game. At the critical moment, what you fight for is the key ability of the star!"
The Rockets had no time to regret, and the Grizzlies attacked.
When Link approached the Rockets' defense line again, the Rockets were all in a panic.
Ariza did not hesitate to grab Link's jersey to prevent him from receiving the ball, so Conley did not pass the first pass to Link, but handed it over to Tony Allen.
Tony Allen stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and waited, while Link finally got rid of Ariza with Azeri's off-the-ball screen, came out and handed Tony Allen.
The moment Tony Allen handed the ball to Link, he covered his crotch with his hands and blocked it, blocking Ariza who was chasing him!
If you wait for Ariza to get around, it will definitely be too late, but Link will take a shot if he gets a gap. So Harden had to change defense.
Suddenly, all the fans stood up. Link VS Harden, head star VS head star. The most critical offense and defense of this game happened to fall on the most critical two people!
Harden is on the lookout, and he promised that this is his most serious defensive round since entering the NBA.
Link looked at Harden, looking directly into his eyes. Harden wanted to take the opportunity to steal, but Link pulled the ball flexibly to a safe distance. Although his eyes were fixed on Harden, his hands were not affected at all.
"No, no, it's too simple to think, James. Do you know? Your every move is under my control."
After Link finished speaking, he took a step with the ball and started to break through!
Harden immediately retreated, Howard had never seen Harden so agile on the defensive end.
But just as Harden retreated, Link took a step back and retreated beyond the three-point line, and raised the basketball with both hands. He wanted to retreat and shoot!
Harden didn't hesitate, and immediately changed his focus and jumped toward Link. He reacted quickly. If this defense is completed, it will undoubtedly be the best defense of Harden's career!
But after Harden floated in the air, he realized that Link hadn't taken off at all! The next second, Link leaned forward and leaned towards Harden on his own initiative.
Harden was stunned, he knew this move too well, because he often used this trick to touch porcelain!
Harden didn't expect that he would eventually be killed by Tanci.
A voice echoed in Harden's mind at this time, "Do you know? Your every move is under my control."
Link didn't lie.
The two collided in the air, the referee blew the whistle, Harden defended the foul!
But Link didn't give up shooting after winning the whistle. On the contrary, he wanted to shoot the ball from the beginning!
So in the event of a collision, Link still worked hard to keep the shots from deforming.
So, when all Rockets fans thought that giving Link three free throws was the worst. The basketball went through the net without warning, leaving only the floating net.
"This..." Van Gundy was stunned~EbookFREE.me~ The Houston commentator next to him was stunned, and all the fans were stunned.
Time stagnated at that moment, and then quickly returned to normal.
"...It was scored, the goal was scored, too powerful, Link caused Harden to foul with a three-pointer. This is a four-pointer, a four-pointer! After this three-pointer, Link has already scored 59 points. If he makes a further penalty..."
Van Gundy swallowed, because even he, who had witnessed all of this with his own eyes, didn't believe the number. "If he makes an extra penalty, Link will score 60 points in this game. That's right, 60 points!"
The entire Toyota Center was silent, with their two star players a 35 points and the other 33 points. But all that was left to them at this time was despair.
Link didn't care about the dead silence of the scene. He stood on the spot with his right hand like a pistol, and then placed it in his mouth to gently blow out the "fireworks" of the "muzzle".
In this life-and-death western duel, Link was shot dead and finished!
