63 points in a single game, although this is not the highest scoring record in NBA history, but it has also become the focus of discussion among fans.

After all, Link's background of scoring 63 points is quite special.

First of all, before the game, whether it was the Houston media or Dwight. Howard, who has provoked Link, has said that he will make the injured Grizzlies pay the price and fall off the altar.

Moreover, the Rockets are indeed one of the strongest teams in the league at this stage. Their previous 6-0 record was the same as that of the Grizzlies.

Link's 63 points were neither brushed on the belly of the fish nor scored in an inconsequential game.

He scored 60+ points in a single game against a strong opponent and in a crucial match. So this 63 points is extremely high.

And of Link's 63 points, only 12 came from free throws, and the rest were all athletic scores. For comparison, Harden scored only 35 points, but he scored 18 points from the free throw line.

Link told everyone that if you want to score a high score, you don't have to rely on free throws.

Link's extreme efficiency, extremely arrogant celebration and his arrogant speech after the game made him once again the focus of attention of basketball fans around the world.

Almost all sports news is talking about Link's 63 points, and sports TV stations will take out Link's 63 points highlights from time to time. Because as long as Link's 63-point highlights are played, the ratings will increase significantly.

The Grizzlies even took the opportunity to launch a Link 63-point commemorative T-shirt, which was pre-ordered as soon as it was announced.

Even the next night, Link's heat wave had not yet dissipated.

The next day, before the start of the Heat vs. Mavericks game, when reporters interviewed Wade on the sidelines, they completely put aside the game itself and asked a question related to Link.

"Dwayne, what do you think of Link's 63 last night? By the way, I must remind you that 63 points in a single game is the highest scoring record in a single game in the NBA since Kobe Bryant scored 82 points against the Raptors in January 2006! In other words, in the past eight years, no player in the NBA has scored more points per game than Link yesterday. ”

The reporters asked Wade this question, and there was some desire to do something in it.

With Wade's unyielding personality, coupled with the experience of the two competing for the championship in previous years, reporters believe that Wade will definitely express disdain for Link's 63 points.

But to the surprise of reporters, Wade did not express his disdain for Link, but also used praise for Link.

"It was a great game for a lot and Link almost single-handedly carried the team. 63 is remarkable, and he could have scored even higher if he wanted to. Wade puffed out his cheeks and smiled.

"Huh?" The reporters were stunned, the style of painting is wrong!

Originally, they wanted to use this incident to hype up the hostile relationship between Wade and Link, but Wade didn't cooperate at all.

While Wade and Link have indeed competed for a championship over the past two years, reporters still underestimate Link's personal relationship in the league.

Wade was genuinely happy for Link.

In addition to Wade, many stars also commented on Link's 63 points.

Wade's opponent today, "German Chariot" Nowitzki, who led the Mavericks to win the championship in 11 years, also praised Link vigorously.

"When we were 11 years old, Link was in a lot of trouble for us. That's when I believed he was going to be the best player in the league. ”

"The best player? What do you mean? ”

"I mean, he was the best player in the league until he retired." When the German said this, it was as if he were complimenting his teammates.

In Indianapolis, in the Pacers' training gym, George, who has been reimbursed for half a season but has been able to do simple training, said even more exaggeratedly, "I'm not surprised at all, Link has always been the kind of player who can score as many points as he wants." The reason why he only scored 63 points this year is because the Grizzlies, who had a neat lineup before, didn't need him to shoot so many times. And the reason why he only scored 63 points yesterday was because 63 points was enough for the Grizzlies to win. ”

That night, on a show at .T., Scott. Pippen was also asked about Link.

"Scott, I think there's a question the whole world is thinking about right now. Link or Michael, who is stronger? On the show, O'Neill bluntly threw the problem to Pippen.

In this day and age, there are very few players who will be compared to Jordan. At best, people say that so-and-so is the next James, the next Kobe, but rarely say that so-and-so is the next Jordan, as was the case in the late nineties and early millennium.

Because too many facts have proven that Jordan is impossible to surpass and come close to existence. From the earliest Grant. Hill, Anferne. Hardaway, to Kobe, Carter, James. Of all these so-called "Jordan successors", none of them can really reach Jordan's heights.

Over time, people stopped comparing the player to Jordan.

But now, the question of who is better is so-and-so player or Jordan is back because of Link.

Pippen is not shy about this question, as he has replied countless times, "Link is nothing in front of Michael at the moment than honor." ”

Pippen couldn't hide his pride when he replied, but he didn't want to belittle Link, and he quickly added again, "But compared to the ability to dominate the game, I really think Link is terrifying. His scoring versatility and defensive toughness often make me see Michael's shadow. ”

"Maybe right now, Link can't be compared to Michael, but if his career is as long as Michael's, who knows?"

Pippen didn't directly answer who was stronger Link or Jordan, but his meaning was very clear, "As long as there is enough time, Link may really reach Jordan's heights"

Pippen's words still carry quite weight, after all, he used to be the most powerful assistant next to Jordan, and no one knows Jordan better than him.

If Wade, Nowitzki and George praised Link before, it can still be interpreted by fans as "good personal relationship, so it is touted". Then Pippen, a person who has almost no personal relationship with Link, does not have such a situation of private touting.

For two whole nights, people were talking about Link, talking about his 63 points.

Some people think that Link's 60+ points are nothing remarkable, and it is a bit premature to compare them to Jordan now.

But there are also those who believe that Link's 63 points are already quite impressive. Because 63 points does not represent Link's upper limit, but only his lower limit! He can score 63 points, but not only 63 points!

Once again, Link has become the focus of controversy.

As the protagonist of this incident, Link does not care about public opinion on the Internet at this time.

He didn't even watch the news on TV, but threw a small party at home and invited all his teammates to come and play.

Having just played back-to-back road games and back-to-backs, the Grizzlies players are very tired. So Link organized a party as soon as he got back to Memphis, hoping that everyone would relax before the next game arrived.

"Link, the discussion about you on the Internet has gone viral." Carter was shaking his phone with a cigar in his mouth, but he had been following the news related to Link all day.

"No, I don't want to watch basketball news at all, just spare me." Link waved his hand, he was really tired.

Back-to-back battles, the second game only had a 3-minute break. How hard those 63 points were, only Link himself knows.

Now when he mentions last night's game, Link feels worried. Link isn't a god either, and he's going crazy when he talks about basketball 24 hours a day.

Carter smiled, put away his phone, and didn't discuss the game with Link again.

The Grizzlies spent one of their few relaxing moments at Link's lakeside cottage in this way.

The Grizzlies players are finally recovering from the torment of back-to-back road and back-to-back games.

But Grizzlies general manager Chris. Wallace, but he still can't get out of his job.

Randolph's return date is still uncertain, Azeli is a little overwhelmed, and the Grizzlies' interior reserves are very tight right now. Although the Grizzlies won the Rockets in the last game, the Grizzlies' lack of interior reserves was also fully exposed.

Now, he must continue to search for free agents.

What if, find another treasure boy like Link?
