Latest website: During the intermission, the Rockets' locker room was silent.

Howard panted, staring at the floor in a daze, no one knew what he was thinking.

Harden bit his lip, and he didn't seem to be happy after he scored 16 points at halftime.

Motel Yunus sat blankly in front of his cabinet, as if thinking about life. He originally thought he had become stronger, but now he felt like he was an ant.

Kevin McHale was also silent. Conventionally, this game simply cannot be played like this.

Randolph was injured, Gasol was troubled by a foul, Tobias Harris was overly exhausted, and Azeri could not be reused. The Grizzlies' inside line is a bit of a feather, and the rockets sitting on Howard and Motai Yunas should penetrate the Grizzlies inside.

The results of it? Mota Yunas swallowed the egg in the first half and couldn't even dunk a dunk that he had to make. Howard drove high and low, and lost his dominance at both ends of the attack and defense.

Without Iguodala, the Grizzlies' bench is not deep enough. Normally, the Grizzlies cannot gain an advantage on the outside.

The results of it? Tony Allen blocked Harden's defenses everywhere, and Old Carter's precise three-pointer gave Link a great attack space. In the second half, after Butler, who was no longer in foul trouble, increased his playing time, the Rockets were even more troublesome.

McHale really didn't expect the Rockets to be so passive. This should be a game that can't be lost. Before, he had never figured out why the Rockets would be like this.

But in the final attack before the end of the half game, when Link still shot the ball under the blocking of Ariza and Howard, McHale instantly understood the reason.

Indeed, conventionally, the Rockets cannot lose nor fall behind.

But Link is a player who breaks out of the norm!

His singles made the Rockets' plans all ruined, with 30 points at halftime, enough to make all tactics useless.

Ariza tried many methods to restrict Link, but all ended in failure without exception.

In front of Link, Ariza's defense had no deterrent.

Even if Howard wants to use a foul to prevent Link from scoring a goal, it is very difficult, because most of the time, Howard can't touch Link at all.

Now, the Rockets are 5 points behind, and the scene is very ugly. But McHale still doesn't believe that Link can beat one hundred!

"Continue to attack in the second half. Everyone will make a decisive shot as long as they have a chance! The Memphis is just lingering. Link can't make the second 30-point half! As long as our firepower can continue, the Grizzlies will soon be unable to withstand it. !"

McHale clapped his hands and roared, hoping to awaken the players' vitality.

All the Rockets players slowly raised their heads, trying to believe what the coach said.

"It's too early to give up. Are you going to give up your 6-game winning streak like this? Are you going to give up the chance to compete in the finals!? Only by defeating the Grizzlies can we show that we really have the ability to play in the finals. Strength! To cheer up, we still have a whole half!"

Howard gritted his teeth and nodded silently.

Harden clenched his fists and seemed ready to fight.

Even Motai Junas became focused, and he believed that he would definitely get a chance to score in the second half.

McHale refueled the rocket and reignited the thrusters.

But in the end, they actually did not find a way to contain Link.

McHale hopes to motivate his players with a passion, but a passion is not enough to defeat two consecutive defending champions.

Another time, in the Grizzlies locker room, the focus of the team was on Link.

"No problem, right?" Georg looked at Link with concern. The 30 points at halftime were indeed beautiful, but it also meant a huge amount of physical energy.

"Don't worry, I can hold it. Everyone, I still need the main attack in the second half. Everyone continues to open up for me. If you have an open opportunity, you must seize it!" Link knows that the game is not over yet. Leading by 5 points at half time, there is no guarantee that the Grizzlies will have the last laugh.

Everyone nodded in agreement, no one would compete with Link for the right to shoot.

The Grizzlies didn't have much blood or too much motivation. They just believed in Link.

At the beginning of the second half, the Rockets players' faces restored a trace of glamour. But the first attack in the opening game, Link let the confidence they just aroused be suppressed.

This time, Link shot directly after borrowing the screen from the three-point line, and the basketball made a clear hit. With 33 points in a single game, he is getting closer and closer to the highest scoring record in this arena.

Subsequently, Harden succeeded in touching porcelain Butler, allowing Butler to continue to be restricted by foul troubles.

But now, the Grizzlies are not afraid of Harden touching porcelain. Because even if Harden relies on Porcelain, it is already difficult to match Link on the offensive end.

After dozens of seconds, Link backed up and singled Ariza and turned over and made a jump shot! Ariza had completely covered Link's eyes, but Link entered anyway. Before Ariza interfered, Link aimed at the basket. Therefore, even if the line of sight is blocked when the shot is taken, there is no impact.

With 35 points, Link's score is like the height of an adolescent child, moving up frantically.

McHale stood on the sidelines, staring at Link. He doesn't believe that there are players in this world who can keep scoring so efficiently until the end. Once Link starts not to score, the Rockets can counterattack in one fell swoop!

As a result, everything McHale didn't believe became reality.

In the third minute of the third quarter, old Carter missed a three-pointer, and Link made a tip-up before Howard grabbed the rebound, 37 points!

After a minute and a half, Link was violated by Howard and stood on the free throw line, making two free throws, 39 points.

In the seventh minute of the third quarter, Lin tentatively broke through the basket after a tentative step, layup and avoided the block, 41 points. In the eighth minute, a dry jumper after the free throw line was 43 points.

Jeff Van Gundy watched Link's score increase and his roar grew louder.

Finally, at the end of the third quarter, Link made a jumper and fouled in a heads-up with Francisco Garcia from the middle distance to get a three-pointer.

So everyone in Houston could only watch Link's personal score rise to 46 points, tying the Toyota Center's personal single-game highest scoring record!

"It was a tie. Link scored today's 46th point. Although Jimmy Butler had to watch for 5 fouls, Link took it alone and Butler's points! The Rockets were 8 points behind. , This is not good news for them!"

Van Gundy's body couldn't help shaking, and Link tied the Toyota Center's highest scoring record, which is not the most exaggerated.

The most exaggerated is that there is a whole section left in the game! And now it's not garbage time, Link will definitely continue to attack with all his strength.

So, how many points can Link score in the end?

Van Gundy is really unpredictable.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Harden hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and he had the momentum to lead the Rockets to counterattack.

But soon, Link gave Harden a response ball from beyond the three-point line.

Under Ariza's tight defense, Link stepped back and shot a three-point jumper. It seemed that Link's shot meant a bit forcibly. But anyway, Link can get in!

49 points, the highest score record of Toyota Center has been refreshed. All Rockets fans covered their heads, they really want this nightmare to end quickly.

A minute later, Howard caused Gasol's fifth foul inside. At this point, the Grizzlies have committed five offenses in two of their starters, and are at risk of being forced off the court at any time.

The two sides were inextricably fought, but the Grizzlies were able to turn the tide every time.

Sure enough, Howard made just one of two free throws from the free throw line. After Gasol scored the rebound, the Grizzlies made another counterattack. Link drove off Ariza for an easy layup with 51 points in a single game!

"Who will stop him? Who can stand up? At least do something, he has scored 51 points!" The Houston local commentator next to Van Gundy can't stand it anymore, and Link's scoring today is as easy as a walk.

However, in fact, the Rockets have tried their best to defend Link, and Ariza also showed the attitude of playing the playoffs.

It just doesn't help!

Link scored high, but the Grizzlies still did not establish the status of the winner.

The reason is simple, Harden and Howard are equally working hard today!

They are not far from the Grizzlies, they don't want to just give up the best start record in team history, so they and Link died to the end.

In the end, Harden made Jimmy Butler 6 off the field five minutes before the end of the game and successfully scored 18 free throws in the game!

Howard also made persistent efforts, and in the next round, he managed Gasol.

At this point, the Grizzlies have already lost two generals from their incomplete lineup.

Georgel immediately stopped the game. Butler and Gasol graduated with six fouls. The Grizzlies were checkmates today!

And Link, who hadn't rested throughout the third quarter until now, began to pant.

With five minutes to go to the end of the game, the Rockets have chased the point difference to only 5 points. Harden and Howard did their best today, and both scored 30 points today, so Link scored 51 points and still did not win the game.

Seeing Link panting, Jorge was in a dilemma. Without Gasol and Butler, if Link was allowed to rest again, it would be difficult for the Grizzlies to stabilize the situation! But if Link is not allowed to rest, it will be difficult for him to fight back to back to the end of the game.

Link also didn't speak. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com allowed big sweat particles to slide off his forehead, and he took every second of his time to rest.

Georgel was still hesitating, he didn't know whether to replace Link. But before that, Link took the lead in making a decision.

"One minute, one minute is enough for me. Change me to play in one minute, and then we leave this ghost place with victory!"

Linkby gave a finger. He did need to rest, but it didn't take long.

Georgel then sent a lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Carter, Harris, and Azerley to play temporarily.

Seeing Link being replaced, McHale waved his hand, "Win the game before Link plays!"

McHale has refreshed his understanding of Link time and time again today. The performance of the Grizzlies No. 0 surprised McHale.

But in his opinion, no matter how strong a player is, there are limits. And now, Link has undoubtedly reached his limit.
