Chapter 1165 (1/2)
It's really rare to have two records in a game and two records from two different teams.
In the playoffs, 22 three-point games are the third in history. Houston Rockets this game will their ”magic ball theory” play to the extreme.
They made a total of 87 shots in this game, and 49 of them were three-point shots!
Throughout the history of the league, few teams dare to throw three-point shots like this. Only the rocket who is paranoid about playing magic ball can do this kind of thing.
22 three-point hits, which means the Rockets scored 66 points on three-point shots alone.
Such three-point firepower is enough to make any team blush.
However, at this time, the Rocket fans who saw the team break the record were not happy at all.
Because their three-point goal didn't bring them closer to victory.
It's all because of the 40 points and 3 doubles of link!
During the pause, the entire FedEx stadium was shouting ”MVP.”.
On the live big screen, also released the NBA playoffs 40 points triple double ranking.
This list is not long, so it's easy to see. Since the NBA officially has technical statistics, only five people can knock down 40 points and triple doubles in the playoffs.
”Flying pig Jazz” Buckley and Westbrook tied for third place in history with a record.
James and Oscar Robertson, another triple double, tied for second place in history.
Only link has become the only player in NBA history who can knock down 40 points and triple doubles three times on the playoff stage!
In the case of breaking countless records, link can still leave his name in the League record.
Twenty or thirty years later, when the fans of that era opened the league's historical records, they would be surprised to find out.
Link's name almost became a string in it!
I don't know that people at that time would think that link was greater? Or is Jordan greater?
”The great link, for us dedicated a great playoff performance. 40 points, triple doubles, 10 points in a row at critical moments. I've said for a long time that link will never be mediocre at a critical moment
Bill Simmons completely ignored the Rockets' 22 3-pointer in a single game and praised link directly. Because in the face of defeat, any record will become worthless.
Devon Booker just played a 70 point crazy performance in March, which is a record that even link can't match.
However, the record did not cause much controversy, and people did not give too much praise to Booker because of the 70 points in the single game.
Why? It's because the Suns lost the game in the end.
What's the point of not being able to lead the team to win 70 points?
Therefore, in the face of defeat, even if it is a single game 70 points this terrible record, the gold content will be greatly reduced.
What's more, 22 points in a single game are far less shocking than 70 points in a single game.
Harden sat on the bench, a little frustrated.
He thought link would be his stepping stone, just like Paul. I didn't expect that link's ”stone” is really unstable.
Obviously, the whole game was extremely iron, and the result is that you can rely on the shooting even very much at the critical moment.
Such an opponent, let harden feel deep despair.
Yes, on the surface, the Rockets seem to be able to fight the Grizzlies to the end most of the time. It seems that every time they are close to winning. It seems that a little bit of luck can change the result of the game.
If it's only once or twice, it may be a matter of luck. But every time it's like this, it's not luck that can explain it.
Every time at the critical moment was defeated by link, this is the real cruelest crush! This proves that the rocket has no ability to fight back at the critical moment.
”Beep ~ ~ ~ ~” electronic beep sounds, the pause ends, and the game will start again.
41 seconds, 9 minutes. To be honest, the Rockets are not completely without opportunities.
But for a team whose morale has been battered to pieces, the 9-point gap seems to be an insurmountable gap.
Sure enough, in the last 41 seconds, the Rockets did not make an exciting reversal.
In addition to the game's three-point hand to 50, the rockets at the last moment did not make any achievements.
It was 116-125, and the 9-point gap lasted until the end of the game.
Thanks to link's record setting career, the Grizzlies won the first set of the Western Conference semi-finals with 40 points and triple doubles for the third time!
At the end of the game, Bill Simmons stood up excitedly, raised his arms and cheered with the fans.
