1129: He completely destroyed me
The four minutes went by quickly, and in a short time, it was already the end.
The numbers on the timer were constantly jumping, but Devin. Booker's score didn't change in the last few minutes.
At this point, there were only 53 seconds left until the end of the match. And Devon. Booker's scoring data column still has the number "38" written on it.
Countless Suns fans and Warriors fans were expecting Booker to score 40+ points at the Federal Express Arena today, however, they didn't wait for that moment until now.
Ever since Link switched to Booker, the high-performing sophomore guard has been completely frozen.
It's not just that he can't score, but even his confidence has been completely wiped out!
No one knows what Link said to Booker when he countered a few rounds ago, but since then, Booker has been at Link's mercy as if he had become a puppet.
Obviously, there is only one goal away from 40 points, however, this ball Booker can't cross no matter what.
By this time, the Suns were already trailing by 12 points. If it weren't for Bledsoe's repeated fouls on the basket, the margin might have gotten even bigger.
When the Suns were missing Booker, their most important scoring point, their offensive threat plummeted.
Link completely locked up Booker in the final moments and didn't even let Booker score even one point. No one can threaten Link at a critical moment! ”
Hubi. Brown looked at Booker, who looked lonely, and he knew that the game was over.
God knows what Link just said to Booker, but the sophomore guard must have a deep understanding of Link's scary nature by now.
In the previous two encounters, to be honest, Link and the Grizzlies were not forced to show their housekeeping skills.
And because of this, Devon. Booker will have the dangerous idea of "wanting to beat Link".
But after today, Booker probably won't think about beating Link for a long time.
The gap between them is even bigger than he could have imagined.
Sure enough, in this key offense of the Suns, Booker was still in a mess, and he was not even so active in running without the ball.
German. Booker couldn't step up, and Bledsoe had to bite the bullet and go on.
However, his break-through style of play has made the Grizzlies on guard.
This time, when Bledsoe broke into the box, what awaited him was a tough high-altitude interception by Harrell.
With the interference of Harrell and Conley, Bledsoe missed a layup.
This offensive miss also means that the Suns are completely out of the picture.
"It's over, and the Suns missed their last chance. With 44 seconds left on the clock, I don't think the Suns have anyone right now who can step up and replicate the miracle of Maddie's moment. ”
Melvin on the sidelines. Booker stumbled to his seat, burying his head between his hands.
Every time Booker goes to a bigger stage, he always takes the opportunity to shine.
From high school to college to the NBA, it's true.
But this time, the exception happened.
Link's strength is not comparable to Booker's occasional fiery touch.
If you want to own this stage, Booker still has a long way to go.
In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 110-97.
The Phoenix Suns played a game of high and low, and they took the lead in the first quarter with the help of Booker and caused a lot of problems for the Grizzlies afterwards.
But the most crucial last four minutes, Devin. Booker's score was 0.
In the crucial four minutes, he was completely clean sheet by Link!
"The game was over, and although it was a bit difficult to win this game, the Grizzlies managed to recover and avoid a losing streak. They have maintained a hold on to the Warriors in the standings, and it may take a little more effort for the Warriors to return to the first place in the West. ”
Hubi. Brown let out a big sigh of relief, and the game was really thrilling to watch. If the Grizzlies really roll over on the Suns and Booker, it is estimated that many people will be as indigestible as him.
However, Link's anchor still stabilized everything after all.
German. Booker was outstanding today, but as long as it's the win Link wants, it's useless for you to be as good as you are.
After the game, Booker walked into the tunnel without saying hello to anyone.
Earl. Watson's heart ached, and Booker's lonely appearance now was in stark contrast to his energetic appearance yesterday.
Then, Watson's eyes were focused on Link.
That guy is really horrible.
Not only can he win fights, but he can also sow fear in the hearts of his opponents.
Watson only felt fortunate that his playing days were just staggered with Link.
Otherwise, he may also experience fear that he has never seen before.
Booker Jr. is gone, but Booker Sr. is still there.
After the game, Link and Booker Sr. hugged warmly. It wasn't until this time that many people knew that the guy who had been dancing with excitement was Devon. Booker's father.
"Your son is excellent, and he really blew my mind." Link smiled, he was the winner anyway, and he could say whatever he wanted.
"You've taught him a good lesson, Link. In the crucial last four minutes, you were 5-0 and the kid was completely frozen by you, which must have been a very memorable experience for him...... If you can, let him attend your bootcamp this summer. ”
"Hahahaha, I'll think about it, Melvin."
Link didn't speak out against Booker's father, but gave them enough respect.
After all, his real enemy is not the Booker father and son.
Who is Link's real enemy? Of course, it's the group of guys who are eyeing the number one in the West!
In the post-game press conference, the young Booker finally regained his senses. It seemed that he had digested the terrible four minutes of experience just now.
A reporter asked Booker: "You almost scored 40 points today, you must be very satisfied with your performance if you can play to this extent on the Grizzlies' head, right?" ”
Faced with this question, Booker waved his hand vigorously: "Don't, I don't have anything to show off in this game." At the critical moment, I completely disappeared and failed to shoulder the responsibility of leading the team to the Jedi counterattack. In fact......"
Booker paused, and his mind remembered Link's "Don't mess with Jesus."
“...... In fact, I was completely destroyed by Link today. There's still a big gap between me and him, and I've learned a lot from this fight, so hopefully I'll keep up the good work in the future." ”
The reporters were dumbfounded, and although Link had 11 rebounds and 12 assists today, he "only" scored 27 points.
Booker is 11 points ahead of Link in scoring!
However, it was such a guy who scored nearly 40 points and said that he was destroyed by Link.
What did Link do to this young man with great potential......
"Nothing, it just told him about the cruel side of this alliance. To become a true superstar, you have to be able to carry the team forward when it matters most. Why do we need an old-fashioned Wade? Because even if he misses all of his first 15 shots, he may make the last shot. ”
On the other hand, Link replied to the reporter like this, and by the way, he also made a joke about Wade, who was abused by Booker today.
It's a joke, but what Link says is also true. Sometimes, 2 points at a critical moment may be worth more than 20 points in a normal time.
A high score doesn't necessarily end the game, but a key goal does!
"You must be very happy to win the Phoenix Suns without danger, right? What kind of change will this win bring to the Grizzlies' mentality? Afterward, a local Memphis reporter stood up and asked a question that couldn't have been more ordinary.
But Link is a player who can answer ordinary questions very unusually.
"To be honest, it didn't make a difference to us. But for the guys who got sores on their butts in the second place, they must be in a hurry. Hahahaha, regain the first place in the West? It's the funniest joke I've ever heard. ”
Link winked at the reporter, an ordinary question, just like that, it became full of gunpowder.
Link officially announced that the arrogance of the Golden State Warriors is over!
