Indianapolis is a basketball city that is loved by locals from high school to college to NBA teams.

Although in addition to basketball, Indianapolis is also home to the famous racetrack "Brick Factory" and the world-famous Indy 500.

But no matter how passionate the roar of the cars is, it still can't overshadow the status of basketball in the hearts of the locals.

Tonight, countless Indianapolis fans watched this high-profile battle, and the Pacers, who have won seven in a row, and the Grizzlies, who have won six in a row, did not disappoint the fans.

But sadly, the settlement of this game certainly won't please Pacers fans. They couldn't keep their unbeaten streak alive, and they didn't see George crush Link. They watched George score a career-high point, but they also saw Link do it all.

For the passionate fans, tonight was a big blow to them. Perhaps Link will be an Indianapolis nightmare for a long time to come.

At the very least, it will be Paul. George's Nightmare.

"You bastard, you actually scored 52 points on my head, are you fucking serious?"

On the banks of the White River, a gentle breeze blows. Paul. George propped himself up on the fence by the river, looking at the waves on the river, and shook his head helplessly.

"You were the one who went crazy, George. At the end of the fourth quarter, I only scored 39 points, and you scored 40 points first to escalate the battle. So, don't blame me. ”

Next to George, Link smiled and patted his best friend on the shoulder.

No way, there is no brotherhood in NBA games. Link didn't want to deliberately score 52 points on George's head, he just wanted to win.

"Hey, you guy...... He's not a good guy. But it's better to lose to you than to someone else. The undefeated gold body is broken, and the pressure on the body doesn't seem to be so great. George straightened up again, then looked at Link.

"Hopefully, by the time the finals come, I'll be able to catch up with you. I'm not going to throw in the towel, Link. I'm going to win the championship too, even if I have to beat you. ”

"Welcome to the Grand Finals, George. I don't want to face LeBron anymore. James, I hope you can give me a change of opponent. ”

"Damn, it's like you're going to make it to the finals." George waved his hand, Link didn't have such a stinky fart when he was in college.

"Hehe, let's go, it's time to go back, it's not too early. Two big men came to the river to blow the wind, which was weird and awkward. ”

"Well, let's go back. By the way, Link, are you going to enter the free agent market next summer? Your contract with the Grizzlies expires next summer, right? George glanced at Link as he walked.

"What? Are you trying to recruit me to join forces with you? Be careful, I'll call the league office to report you. ”

"Recruit what, recruit, I'm not Larry. Bird. Of course, I'd love to play with you......"

"I'm probably not going to be a free agent this summer. If nothing else, I'll probably stay in Memphis. Link looked at the banks of the Seine and, for some reason, remembered the Mississippi River in Memphis.

"Really? I thought you'd want to go to a big city. George pouted, as a Californian, George actually had a bad impression of Memphis.

Although he didn't think of Tennessee as a country and didn't call the people there hillbillies, it was a backward place.

A superstar nestled in a small place like Memphis? It's hard for George to imagine such a thing anyway.

"Big city? You mean Los Angeles? New York? Boston? Hahahaha, who doesn't love a big city? It's just Memphis, and my unfinished business. ”

Link looked down and smiled, he wasn't an American, so he didn't care so much about big cities and small cities. Before the crossing, Link lived in a small town in the south. So there's nothing wrong with Memphis for him.

And since its arrival in the Grizzlies, Memphis' crime rate has continued to decline, and the economy has continued to grow.

When he was abandoned, it was Memphis who took him in. When he was questioned by the whole world, it was the Memphis fans who supported him.

So, Link didn't want to abandon Memphis either. It's true that in places like Los Angeles and New York, Link gets more exposure and better business opportunities. Not to mention anything else, the rookies selected by the Lakers every year have a higher exposure rate than some All-Star-level players.

It's no exaggeration to say that future high-pick rookies with the Lakers, such as D'Angelo. Russell, Brandon. Ingram, Lonzo. Bauer et al., which is not more exposed than All-Stars?

But according to Chinese thinking, Link attaches great importance to the concept of "home".

Memphis and the Grizzlies are Link's home.

Even if it comes at the expense of some exposure and business opportunities, so what? And as long as a player is great enough, there is no shortage of exposure even in small cities.

When James was in Cleveland, the exposure was no less than that.

"Unfinished business?" Hearing Link say this, George was a little surprised, "But...... You're already a champion. What else do you have to do in Memphis? ”

"Last season's championship was just the beginning, George, just the beginning." Link didn't continue to speak, but George was clearly surprised.

He knew that the beginning that Link was referring to was the beginning of a dynasty.

※※※

With 52 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, Link's performance at Indianapolis last night scared everyone.

When Link cut this statistic at the time, he didn't really think it was a big deal. After all, in the era in which he originally lived, Westbrook and Harden staged 50+ triple-double performances more than once.

So after the race, he also accompanied George to the banks of the Seine for a walk. He had no idea what kind of storm he had set off in the Alliance.

When Link wakes up in his hotel room the next day, he realizes that things are not as simple as he imagined.

The 50+ triple-doubles that I accidentally took seemed a little awesome at the end of 2013, when the era of small balls had not yet completely come.

It's so awesome that since early in the morning, ESPN has produced a special program to analyze how great Link's 50-point triple-double is.

"There are many stars in the history of the NBA who have scored 50 points in a single game. Chamberlain had the miracle of 100 points per game, and Kobe Bryant had the highest single-game score of 81 points of any active player. Iverson, Jordan and other scoring masters have also had many 50+ scoring performances, and it doesn't seem difficult for superstars to score 50 points in a single game. "At the beginning of the show, Mike. Brin's expression was very serious.

"But if you add to that 50 points, for example, and grab 10 rebounds at the same time, then only 14 people in NBA history have done it. If it is converted to 50 points and 10 assists, then there are only 4 people in NBA history who have completed it! Now, do you know what Link's 50-point triple-double is? No one has done it since the NBA had detailed technical statistics! ”

"I rub? Really? Link himself was taken aback by watching TV in his hotel room, no one has ever made a 50+ triple-double since there were detailed technical statistics? But Link felt ...... It doesn't seem like it's that hard to complete.

Just when Link looked confused, Mike on the TV. Brin started to popularize science again.

"LeBron. As one of the most well-rounded players in NBA history, James has not been able to complete the miracle of 50 points + triple-double in a single game in his career, he has achieved 43 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists against the Nuggets in the 09-10 season, 43 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in the game against the Celtics in the 05-06 season, and has also achieved a 40+ triple-double in the playoffs in his career. But he always misses a 50+ triple-double, and LeBron can't do such a thing. ”

"The great Magic Johnson is also one of the most well-rounded players in NBA history, but he hasn't even achieved a 40+ triple-double, and he has only achieved 30+ triple-doubles in his career. And Michael. Jordan has only had two 40+ triple-doubles in his career, which is far from 50+. ”

James, Magic, Jordan...... Seeing these names being left behind by himself, Link felt a little dreamy.

Really, it's awesome.

"There are 50+ triple-double winners in NBA history, and there have been four of them before. They were Wilt in the 60s. Chamberlain, Elgin. Baylor, Richie. Galen and the 70's Skyhook Jabbar. These four ancient divine beasts don't have detailed statistics of 50+ triple-pairs, the alliance only counts that they have done it. As a result, video evidence is nowhere to be found. In other words, the fans who watched last night were the first fans on the planet to witness a player get a 50+ triple-double in the NBA on live TV. What more can I say? Link started out just making Grizzlies history. But now, he's making league history! ”

Looking at the TV in Mike. Brin's explanation, the stunned Link just kept muttering a sentence in Chinese.

"It's awesome this time...... This time it's awesome...... This time it's awesome......"
