1146: Savage expansion
Link scored 60 points and the Grizzlies beat the Warriors by 27 points.
The result of this game made countless fans cheer.
People don't remember Clay anymore. Thompson's excellent performance in the fourth quarter will not care if the Warriors have a complete lineup.
The Grizzlies bloodied the Warriors, and fans only recognized this result.
After this game, the Warriors' record changed to 58-15. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, relied on a wave of 14 consecutive wins to win 66-6!
Before the game entered April, the Grizzlies were on the verge of 70 wins.
The difference between the two sides is close to 10 games, and the Warriors' desire to sit in first place in the West has become a matter as low as winning the lottery.
Whether Warriors fans like it or not, it's true that the Grizzlies dominated the regular season this year.
And they are also very likely to get 70+ wins in a single season for the third time!
On the evening of the second day after the game, at O'Neal, Barkley and Kenny. In a basketball show hosted by Smith, they all said: "The appearance of the Grizzlies has made 70 wins in a single season less valuable." ”
"Once, we only had a team with 70 wins, and that was 72 wins against the Bulls. I, like most people, was adamant in my belief that 72 wins in a single season was a record that could never be broken. Until the destruction of the planet, there will be no second team that will score 70+ wins. Barkley sat in the studio, his mind full of memories of the despair of being ruled by Jordan.
"The result? The Grizzlies are about to play a 70+ win record in a single season for the third time in five years. That's right, not once or twice, but a third time! ”
Buckley's exaggerated expression and body language allowed him to convey his shocked emotions in full.
"yes, the dominance of Link and the Memphis Grizzlies in the regular season is unquestionable. They won 70 in the 12-13 season and a record-breaking 74 in the 13-14 season. Although they didn't reach 70 wins in the 14-15 season, their 69 wins were actually quite impressive. After Barkley finished speaking, Kenny with glasses was wearing a letter. Smith also began to turn over history.
"And this season, before the March schedule is over, they have already hit 66 wins! I can't predict what the Grizzlies' final record of the season will be, but it's quite possible to ...... "Kenny. Smith paused, teased his glasses at the camera, and continued.
“...... Chances are, this league will set a new record for most wins in a single season! ”
"In that regard, Link has undoubtedly surpassed Michael, hasn't he?" O'Neill, who had been listening to it for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
"Of course, but it would be more convincing if Link could win a few more championships."
All night, all three of them talked about Link on the show.
Fans are now excited to see what the Grizzlies can do in the regular season.
Warrior? The Warriors are no match now. The only thing the grizzly bears need to surpass now is themselves!
"Looks like you're looking forward to what you're going to do next." Rachel leaned on Link's shoulder, smiling.
The two of them happened to be watching at this time. Naturally, O'Neill, Barkley, and Kenny were heard on the T TV program. Smith what they chatted about.
"Of course, otherwise can you expect warriors? Time and time again, the Warriors have lived up to the expectations that others have placed on them. Link shrugged, the grizzly bear was able to get such attention, thanks to his peers.
James, on his side, continued to recuperate in the regular season. On the Warriors' side, March's otherwise easy schedule was a mess.
It's hard for grizzly bears to just don't want to stand out.
"When you win the championship this summer, our family will welcome a new member. So, come on, Link, as a gift to him. Rachel stroked her already visibly erect belly, and she felt as if Link was holding her arm harder.
"Don't worry, we won't miss a single one of the things we want this summer! Rest early, you can't stay up late now. With that, Link gently picked Rachel up from the couch with a strain of his arms.
"I've gained a lot of weight lately......" Rachel's face flushed slightly.
"Is there one? I don't think so. ”
"You mean I've always been fat!?"
"Damn, when did you learn to be a journalist and let out deadly torture."
"Hehe, I'm a sports journalist, stupid."
The former high school girls basketball player who nearly gave up basketball is now one of the nation's deadliest sports journalists.
And the undrafted draft that used to be impossible to get along in the development league is already working hard towards the next step of his career and life.
※※※
The Grizzlies beat the Warriors by 27 points, a game that nearly disqualified the Warriors from competing with the Grizzlies for first place in the West.
Just when people thought the Grizzlies would stop and prepare for the playoffs leisurely, they stepped up their offense instead!
On March 28, the Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento Kings for the fourth time of the season at home, completing the regular season win against the Kings.
On the 29th, the Grizzlies fought the Pacers back-to-back. This time, Link didn't give his college friend a chance.
This time last month, the Pacers put the Grizzlies in crisis. It was precisely because of that loss that the Warriors had the illusion that they could surpass the Grizzlies.
Today, Link had a triple-double of 36 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to take the game into his own hands.
Link didn't treat George as his own at all today, and he was ruthless as soon as he came up, shooting 7 of 12 from beyond the three-point line, with a shooting rate of 58.3%!
On the other hand, George, although the data of 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists is not bad, compared with Link, there is still a significant gap.
The final score of the game was 110-97, and the Grizzlies won cleanly! After this game, the Grizzlies' winning streak also came to 16 consecutive wins!
On March 31, the Grizzlies broke the calves again. This means that the Grizzlies have a single-month winning record in "March Madness"!
"The Grizzlies are still winning, oh my God, who's going to stop them!"
"It's unbelievable that they were able to win all the games in March! With 69 games to come, the Grizzlies now only need one more win to make a third 70-win record in a single season! ”
"That's why people love the Memphis Grizzlies, and if they can win, they're not going to give up. Rotational rest? Well-being? None of them exist. The Spurs and the Cavaliers should learn from the Grizzlies' spirit. ”
Amid the praise, the final half of the 16-17 season officially kicked off, and Link continued to move towards a goal of surpassing 74 wins.
On April 2 and April 4, the Grizzlies won back-to-back victories over the Lakers and Knicks.
So far, the Grizzlies have won an incredible 71 wins at the beginning of April!
No one could stop the Grizzlies' brutal expansion, and when the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies, that outcome was already doomed.
At this time, the Grizzlies' achievement is not just as simple as 70 wins in a single season for the third time in team history.
A record that no team has been able to touch since the founding of the NBA is now in Link's hands.
