The moment Link "broke" Kanter's ankle, the fear that grew in the hearts of the Thunder players exploded.

While the term "ankle finisher" has been around for many years, there are very few examples of an opponent's ankle being broken by shaking it on the court.

After all, everyone is a top athlete at the NBA level, and it is not easy to shake each other down. Moreover, the ankle strength of NBA players is generally very terrible.

Although such things as ankle sprains still happen from time to time, their ankles are many times stronger than the average person.

However, just now, Link played the role of "Ankle Terminator" to the fullest.

Not only did he tease Kante with a crotch-piercing passer, but he also directly caused the opponent to sprain his ankle due to an unstable center of gravity.

This kind of freewheeling finishing, not to mention the fans, even the players were taken aback!

"It's incredible, Link almost made the Oklahoma City Thunder lose confidence in the first quarter. If Russell can't pick himself up and lead the team back together, there's a good chance that this game will turn into a one-sided slaughter! ”

Hubi. Brown covered his head, and the old man had spent most of his life in the NBA in a variety of different capacities. But the picture of the other party's injury directly swayed, even he thought it was too exaggerated.

Although this is not the first case of Link, it has to be said that there are too few such examples! And Link's crotch is outstanding, which is really exciting.

Watching Kante walk straight into the tunnel with the help of the team doctor after leaving the field, Link did not sympathize with the Turk.

How so? An ankle sprain is not a devastating injury, it is one of the most common injuries among basketball players.

So, the injury won't affect Kante's career, and maybe he'll be back on the pitch in a few days' time.

Therefore, Link has nothing to feel guilty about.

By the way, he also told Kante what happened to him raising the bar.

A dunk and an ankle finish is something Link believes will teach Kante a lesson.

And on the Thunder side, everyone was scared silly.

Whether it's Westbrook or Kante, they were all packed up by Link today.

For a moment, they had no hope of winning.

Although the first quarter of the game is not over yet, when they think of the next three quarters, the Thunder players are not thinking about a chance to equalize, but about going through a hellish and torturous game like three quarters.

Their hearts were ended along with N'Golo Kante's ankle.

In the final minutes of the first quarter, the Thunder didn't organize any effective counterattacks. In the end, they entered the second quarter with a 12-point deficit.

In the second quarter of the game, during the break between Westbrook and Link, Victor. Oladipo was in good form.

This 13-year list seems to be dreaming back to the Orlando period, whether it is a breakthrough or a long shot, he can score the ball.

Although he has not performed well this season, you can still see in him the potential of that guy to become a star.

In Westbrook's absence, Oladipo is the Thunder's first point of attack. And attacking with the ball is exactly what Oladipo likes the most.

With Oladipo's excellent performance, the Thunder once narrowed the gap to 6 points.

After that, Jogger was replaced by Link again, and the Thunder side also brought the "Turtle" again.

Thunder coach Billy. Donovan will undoubtedly hope Westbrook can pull off the equaliser.

But unfortunately, after Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double per game, appeared, the Thunder fell into the mud again.

"Another mistake, Link intercepted Westbrook's pass on the pass route again, and it was already his fourth steal of the game!"

Seeing that Link broke Westbrook as soon as he came up, Hubi. Brown sweated for Westbrook.

So far in today's game, Westbrook's assist stats are still 0. His pass was either passed out or cut off. In short, there are no passes that can form an immediate threat.

Westbrook has been cut off by Link to doubt his life.

It seems that Westbrook will indeed have a very difficult time to get a triple-double today.

As a result, his simple and crude breakthrough point was ineffective. Second, Westbrook couldn't brush up on defensive rebounds today.

Adams and Sabonis Jr. didn't dare to just stop grabbing the rebound today, because if you hesitate at all, Link will take the rebound early.

Link initially said on social media that someone wouldn't get another triple-double, and was complained about and ridiculed by many Thunder fans.

But now, looking at Westbrook's embarrassment, no one laughed anymore.

It's just that Westbrook won't get a triple-double, it's just killing Westbrook!

Thanks to the excellent playmaking skills of "The Turtle", the Thunder trailed by another 14 points at halftime.

If it's Kevin now. McHale is coaching this Thunder team, and he is expected to put Westbrook right on the bench, just like he did with Harden back then.

pressed his own star on the bench and won in the end. I have to say that in this regard, McHale's courage is still worthy of recognition.

It's a pity that the result of this is that McHale is out of class. In this era, if there is a conflict between the star and the coach, 90% of the people who leave are the coach.

Therefore, even if Westbrook played like this, Donovan would not dare to replace him completely with Oladipo.

Think about what kind of bloody storm he would have to face the next day if Westbrook wasn't played.

As a result, Donovan can only hope that Westbrook will bottom out. Although, such hope is very slim......

After the start of the third quarter, Link's stats continued to skyrocket. Today, on the contrary, he may be the first to get a triple-double.

But when the game reached the end of the third quarter, Hubi. Brown found that Link's goal today was not just a triple-double, but a quadruple-double!

Westbrook broke through for a layup, but the basketball was cut off by Link the moment he jumped! This is already Link's 8th steal in this game, and the 8th, Link has broken his career record! ”

Hubi. Brown's heart began to pound, not because of how intense the game was, but because Link was just three rebounds, two assists and two steals away from hitting a quadruple-double!

The last time someone could score a quadruple-double in an NBA game was back in 1994!

At that time "Admiral" David . Robinson finished with 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks against the Pistons, becoming the last player to record a quadruple-double to date.

In 1994, Westbrook was only 6 years old!

There are only four officially recognized quadrupians in the entire history of the NBA.

Even Mielke. I have it on every list. Jordan, this time, also failed to appear in the list of quadruple-double records.

ESPN has done a tally of players who have completed or come close to completing a quadruple-double since the '85-86 season.

In the end, there were only 20 of them. In other words, there are only 16 people who can achieve close to four pairs.

This shows how difficult it is to do.

If Link can really hit a quadruple-double today, it will undoubtedly be the best response to Westbrook's average triple-double per game!

And Link's data is all real.

It seems that this year, Link's desire for MVP is greater than ever.

In addition to Link's imminent quadruple-double, Westbrook is also close to double digits in turnovers today.

The contrast between the two today is too obvious.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder trailed by 17 points. But in this day and age, one point isn't enough for Jogel to reassure him that the game is in garbage time.

As a result, Link still had a chance to play in the fourth quarter.

At this time, he is only 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 steals away from a quadruple-double!

"Link, you're about to get a quadruple-double!" During the break, everyone was reminding Link.

Lest there be another embarrassing thing when the last time he hit the Rockets, Link didn't know that he was about to break the 50+15+15 record.

Link looked up at the big screen and nodded calmly.

Today, Link often looks up at the data from time to time. But not to look at your own data, but to see Westbrook's data.

Seeing that the guy was "beaten back to his original form", Link was relieved.

As for quadruple-doubles in a single game?

Well, since you have the chance, let's take it by the way.
