Howard broke through the immature Azeli and charged at the basket.

If left alone, Howard could easily complete the dunk and score the 34th point of the game!

Most importantly, if he dunks successfully, the Rockets will devour the Grizzlies' last point advantage and complete the comeback.

Carter Sr. gritted his teeth and rushed suicidally, dragging his almost 40-year-old body to jump, and collided with Howard in the air.

Although the Grizzlies have been in control since the second quarter, if you look at the data, you will find that they are actually quite embarrassed.

Butler scored five points, but he was no longer able to play to help Link share the offensive pressure. Gasol scored 0 points, but he couldn't contribute anymore.

And among the remaining people who can play, except for Link, there is no one who scores a double.

Harris only scored points, and he was badly limited in the second three quarters. Carter got the points and you can't ask him to do more. Conley didn't feel good today, and he only had points in the account.

On the other hand, the Rockets, Howard scored 32 points, Harden scored 33 points, Beverley scored 4 points, and the "Jet" Terry who came off the bench also had 2 points.

Under normal circumstances, a team with two men scoring 30 points would have won long ago.

And the reason why the Grizzlies can still be on par with the Rockets, and the reason why they were able to suppress the Rockets for a time before, is actually Link's 5 points, because he is still holding on!

Since they can't help Link with scoring, the rest of the Grizzlies plan to share the pressure for Link from elsewhere.

That's why Carter is so resolute, he doesn't want Link's 5 points to be in vain.

Carter went to stop Howard, who had already taken off, and the result was naturally needless to say, the "old flyer" was directly knocked out of the bottom line by the strong Howard, and the UF was shot down by King Kong on the Empire State Building.

But again, Carter sabotaged Howard's dunk and stopped his attempt to score directly.

"Vince. Carter actually tried to stop Howard, is he crazy? Or did he forget his age? The Houston local commentator gritted his teeth in anger, and Howard had a good dunk opportunity, but it was lost by Carter.

"Damn it!" Carter lay on the floor, feeling like his ribs were about to break.

Although Howard's physical fitness has fallen to the peak, for an aging guard player, Howard's impact is still difficult to withstand.

Tony. Aaron and Harris ran up to pick Kartra up, and Link watched the scene from the sidelines, his knuckles turning white from clenched fists.

In the eyes of outsiders, Carter is not self-sufficient. But Link knew that Carter was doing it to force Howard to make free throws.

It's better to let him make free throws than to let him dunk directly. If Howard only hits one of the two free throws, then at least he can still fight for the Grizzlies!

For this point, Carter Sr. did not hesitate to play against a giant like Howard. He knew that until Link came back, even letting the Rockets score fewer points would be a victory!

What's more, this is already the last round. Survive this round and Link is back!

At this point, there were 3 minutes and 52 seconds left until the end of the game. After a one-minute break, Link was ready at the technical bench and waited for Howard to make a free throw to replace Carter.

Howard stood at the free throw line, and sure enough, he hit only one of the two free throws that were very "stable". Although this still allowed the Rockets to equalize, they were unable to complete the comeback.

"Damn old man, damn it!" Howard yelled in frustration that this was the second time he had hit one of two free throws for a deliberate foul from the Grizzlies.

The first time, it was Conley who came to stop it. The second time was Carter. As if they didn't know the pain and fear, they rushed forward one after another, recklessly!

If Howard doesn't get fouled and dunks directly to score these two balls, the Rockets will definitely overtake!

No sooner had Howard made a free throw than Joggle used his penultimate timeout of the game.

Link stood up, opened his arms, and hugged his panting teammates. He knew that the guys had done their best.

"Sorry Link, we still let them equalize the game." Carter whispered in his ear as he hugged Link.

"Don't say that, you've worked hard for that minute......" Link patted Carter on the back, he could feel the violent heaving of Carter's chest.

"Link." Carter let go of his arms and didn't leave, but stared into Link's eyes.

"I'm here, Vince."

"Kill those bastards for me!"

Link didn't respond, but moved his body.

Link must admit that he is tired. It was back-to-back games after all, and Link had played two full quarters before. Counting the minute just now, Link only had a total of three minutes of rest today!

But for some reason, Link felt empowered at this time. As long as he wanted to, he could temporarily block out that tiredness.

Perhaps, this is the power of the desire to win.

Everyone has done their best, even old Carter is completely out of the way. In such a situation, Link cannot afford to fail!

"At the end of the timeout, I was skeptical that the Grizzlies would be able to hold on, and they were clearly losing points in the fourth quarter. Although Link was back, he only had a minute's rest. No one knows if his form can continue, and if his shooting is half a point difference, the Grizzlies are finished! ”

Van Gundy was sweating for Link, a minute of rest was too short. But even this minute, the Rockets almost overtook the score. It can be seen that Link does not have the conditions to continue to rest.

Whether Linchor is well rested, he has to play.

"It's useless if you're here, stop struggling!" As soon as Link came on the court, Howard roared in full swing.

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!

Azeli handed the baseline ball to Conley and the game restarted with the two sides back on the same line in the final 3:52. But on the Rockets' side, the main team that cut down the double 30, while on the Grizzlies' side, there is only one main point guard who doesn't feel good, a backup point guard and backup center who can't score, and an exhausted short four.

Link's point of view aside, the Grizzlies are completely defenseless right now. So whether the Rockets can win or not depends on how far Link can play, and whether he can play against five.

McHale had long thought Link had reached his limits, and he still thinks so. Link's career-high single-game score is 55, and he's now scored five points, which is a sign that Link is close to his limit.

The Rockets can use the same minute to equalize the score in the last minute, and they can complete the comeback in the last three minutes!

Ariza directly didn't want Link to catch the ball, and his sticking defense also had the purpose of consuming Link. But instead of being afraid of the confrontation, Link pushed Ariza away more brutally, and then went to the outside of the three-point line to meet Conley.

As soon as Link received the basketball, he turned around directly outside the three-point line, jumped up, and shot! No tweaks at all!

Ariza didn't expect Link to choose such a hasty shot, and by the time he reached out to seal it, Link had already thrown the ball.

"It's impossible to shoot with such a rush ......"

Before the Houston local commentator could finish speaking, the basketball went through the net and slapped him.

There is no goal impossible for Link.

The three points were effective, and Link scored his 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 in key moments is definitely the best of the best, let's wait and see! Van Gundy clapped his hands hard with excitement, and watching Link play was nothing short of enjoyable.

"Damn, it can be all there!" McHale is nervous, is it possible that Link still has the strength to spare? 54 points, which has surpassed the highest score in a single game at the Toyota Center. It's only one point away from Link's career-high score!

We've already done it to this extent, can we still reach the top!?

Then the Rockets attacked, and Harden shook off Tony with a European step layup. Allen and Aizeli scored their 35th points of the game.

This is already Harden's second-highest score in a single game this season, and although Harden has a lot of porcelain today, his shooting percentage in athletic battles is actually not bad.

But this is still a far cry from Link's 54 points. Harden and Howard's combined firepower can compete with Link.

The margin is back to one point, and it's time for the Grizzlies to make another move.

McHale shouted from the sidelines, signaling to the Rockets players that Link would wrap up as soon as halftime.

But Link seemed to see through the Rockets' strategy, so he didn't hold the ball himself for half the court.

He still kept Conley in possession and ran unhurriedly to the right mid-range empty-handed.

If you rush to trap Link off the ball, you'll leak the rest of the guys. And with Conley's ability, he can definitely get the ball into the open space.

As a result, Ariza could only be one-on-one with Link once again. Howard was circling around the three-second zone, and he wanted to go up and pick up Link, but if he did, it would be like giving the basket directly to Azeli. Therefore, you can only wait for Link to hold the ball before wrapping it.

Link leaned on Ariza's back, and Ariza instantly understood Link's thoughts, so he began to wrestle with Link, hoping to push Link out.

Back-to-back singles, usually before receiving the ball, 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 tired by now, and he can't be so steady.

Link's gritty was far greater than Ariza had expected.

As soon as Link got the basketball, Howard stepped forward to wrap it up. But Howard was still not fast enough, and before he could get the bag up, Link rolled over and made a jumper.

Everyone on the Rockets had their eyes on that basketball, and Howard even forgot to go back and fight for the rebound.

"Impossible, impossible...... McHale silently thought in his mind, Link couldn't score consecutive goals in such a situation, he was already close to the limit, he was exhausted!

McHale was right, because the average star does have limits.

But what great stars do best is push their limits.

"It's in, Link hits in a row! With 56 points, Link broke the highest score in a single game of his career! Great Link, great unanimous VP. He was simply unstoppable, and the Rockets' defense was nothing in front of him. ”

Ariza collapsed, he spent most of the time against Link today, although Link's 56 points were not all scored on his head, but at least Link also blasted 40 points on Ariza's head.

Being bombarded with so many points in a single game by a counterpoint, no matter how resolute the defender is, will have a psychological breakdown.

The rest of the Rockets were also somewhat hit, and they restrained everyone in the Grizzlies, but they couldn't contain Link.

The Rockets players are now pondering one question – Link may really be invincible!

"At 56 points, Link showed all his scoring skills. If a student player asks how to become an all-around scorer in the future, the coach can just throw him a video of Link's game today. You can learn almost every offensive skill in Link! ”

Van Gundy now admires Link very much, and admires it so much. Although the situation is getting more and more difficult, Link is getting more and more courageous. He's like a spring, the more you press, the harder he bounces back.

On the contrary, it was the Rocket generals who were a little shaken in their determination by Link. After that, every player of the Rockets became timid, for fear that they would not be able to shoot and drag the team back.

At critical moments, not everyone has the courage to stand up and shoot.

In the end, Harden could only bite the bullet and make a three-point jumper when the opportunity was not very good. But this time, he couldn't get the ball in.

"Harden didn't make a shot, and that shot could change the game! At critical moments, any miss could ruin the game. At the critical moment, it is the key ability of the star to fight! ”

Before the Rockets had time to repent, the Grizzlies attacked.

By the time Link approached the Rockets' defense again, the Rockets were terrified.

Ariza did not hesitate to pull Link's shirt to prevent him from receiving the ball, so Conley's first pass was not given to Link, but to Toney. Aaron transit.

Tony. Allen stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and waited, while Link borrowed Aizeli's off-ball cover to finally get rid of Ariza, and came out to play with Toney. Aaron gave a hand.

Tony. The moment Aaron handed the ball to Link, he covered his crotch with both hands and blocked it straight, blocking Ariza who was chasing!

If you wait for Ariza to get around, it will definitely be too late, and Link will make a move if he gets the slightest gap. As a result, Harden had to switch defenses.

Suddenly, the fans stood up. Link vs Harden, star of the house vs star of the house. The most critical attack and defense of this game happened to fall on the two most critical people!

Harden is on the lookout, and he assures that this is the most serious round he has defended since entering the NBA.

Link looked at Harden and looked him straight in the eye. Harden wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a steal, but Link nimbly pulled the ball to a safe distance. Although his eyes were fixed on Harden, his hands were not affected in the slightest.

"No, no, no, it's too simple, James. Do you know? Your every move is under my control. ”

After Link, he took a step with the ball and began to break through!

Harden immediately stepped back, and Howard had never seen Harden so agile on the defensive end.

But at the moment when Harden stepped back, Link took a step back and retreated outside 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 center of gravity and jumped up to pounce on Link. His reaction was quick, and if this ball was defended, it would undoubtedly be the best defense of Harden's career!

But after Harden floated in mid-air, he realized that Link didn't jump at all! In the next second, Link leaned forward and took the initiative to lean towards Harden.

Harden was stunned, he knew this action too well, because he often used this trick to touch porcelain!

Harden didn't expect that he would eventually be killed by Porcelain.

A voice echoed in Harden's head at this point, "You know what? Your every move is under my control. ”

Link didn't lie.

The two collided in the air, the referee blew the whistle, and Harden fouled the defense!

But Link didn't give up shooting after winning the whistle, on the contrary, he wanted to shoot the ball from the start!

So in the event of a collision, Link still tried to keep the shooter moving without deformation.

So, when all the Rockets fans thought that making Link three free throws was the worst case scenario. The basketball passed through the net without warning, leaving only the net drifting.

"This ......" Van Gundy was stunned, the Houston commentator next to him was stunned, and the fans in the stadium were stunned.

Time stood still in that moment, and then, quickly returned to normal.

“...... It went in, the ball went in, it was so powerful, Link caused Harden to foul on a three-point shot, it's a four, a four! After this three-pointer, Link has already scored 59 points, and if he hits another free throw......

Van Gundy swallowed his saliva because even he who witnessed it all didn't quite believe the number, "If you add free throws, Link will score 60 points in this game." That's right, 60 points! ”

There was a dead silence in the entire Toyota Center, and their two leading stars scored 35 points and 33 points. But at this time, they were left with nothing but despair.

Link didn't care about the dead silence of the scene, he stood in place, his right hand shooting was like a pistol, and then put it in his mouth, gently blowing out the "fireworks" of the "muzzle".

In this life-and-death duel in the West, Link was killed with one shot and called it a day!
