Chapter 697 (1/2)

Link's last 0.3 second make-up shot dragged the Spurs into overtime, and once again won him the top five spot of the day.

This game not only disappointed Popovich and Spurs fans, but also the fans of the other 29 teams in the league.

The Spurs gave people hope that the Spurs would stop Grizzlies, and everyone thought the Spurs were the ”savior.”.

But in the end, when the hope was shattered, people would rather that the Spurs had not given them hope.

After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

32-2, 8 in a row! The Memphis Grizzlies have no intention of stopping. More and more people believe that the Bulls' incredible 72 win record is about to end this season.

Among them, the most hope to see the Grizzlies break the record is Charles Barkley, who has been trampled by Jordan countless times.

”It's time for the bull of '96 to fall off the altar! I support grizzly with both hands. After all, people can't live in the glory of the past. If I can, I would like to witness the birth of a new dynasty! ”

Buckley now does not hide his love for Grizzlies and link on the show. People joke that Barkley never dares to offend any Chinese players any more.

But in fact, many fans expect the Grizzlies to break history. Jordan in the 1990s is a memory of the last century. Many people have not experienced the era when Jordan ravaged the league.

Now young fans naturally hope that they can witness the birth of an era.

In addition to the record of 72 wins, the heat of the slam dunk competition is also fermenting under the super high popularity of link.

Originally, this year is still no reason for stars to participate in the dunk contest. But after link announced his participation, many players were ready to move in an instant.

After all, who doesn't want to beat the best players in the active League?

After the game with the Spurs, NBA officials officially announced that the Indiana Pacers star, link's good brother Paul George, joined the dunk contest lineup.

George's current position is not low, last season he in the Eastern Conference finals and James's seven games, let him have become the league's first-line star.

This season, the Pacers have been doing well. Now, the record is 27-6, better than the Spurs! It's also the best team in the League except Grizzlies.

And George this season average 22.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game, is also very amazing. The Pacers' record combined with George's personal data makes him absolutely worthy of the league's first-line superstar.

George's joining makes the slam dunk competition more popular. Link vs George, Fresno University civil war, first-class stars versus first-class stars... These exciting stunts have doomed the success of this slam dunk contest.

Link was very surprised to learn that George was going to take part in the slam dunk contest. After all, George didn't perform well in the slam dunk contest last season. I didn't expect that after George became famous, he would choose to challenge again.

”You don't even tell me in advance when you participate in the slam dunk contest?”

Link ”yelled” on the phone, laughing, of course.

”Hey, you always surprise others. I have to surprise you. Get ready, link. This time I won't let you take all the honors. ”

George was very excited. His desire to beat link was not so strong. But as long as he can compete with link, even in the slam dunk contest, George is very satisfied.

Two days later, on January 10, before the Grizzlies and Suns game began, NBA officials released the results of the third round of all star voting.

Link didn't disappoint, or, once again, let some down.

After three rounds, link's vote rose to 1.07 million, ranking first and still holding the position of the king of votes! James came second with 1.05 million votes.

Durant, who has been eager to surpass link, can't even surpass James. Durant got 1.03 million votes after three rounds. Still can only rank third, from link more and more far away.

It's worth mentioning that because of Kobe's injury again, Paul George has completed the counter attack with 900000 votes, becoming the fourth player in the general table.

From this also can see, this year's dunk competition is how bright star. The first and fourth in the all star vote are in a slam dunk contest, something fans never thought about before.

That night, the sun once again encountered the grizzly bear. Suns coach honasek was speechless, as if his team was specially arranged to celebrate link's winning streak.

Finally, the Suns completed their ”mission” with a 84-103 loss to the Grizzlies for the fourth time this season! At the same time, it also makes the night of link's winning ticket King more perfect.For honassek, tonight was both unfortunate and lucky.

Unfortunately, the sun once again failed in the Grizzlies. But fortunately, this is the last time the Suns have met Grizzlies this season.
