974: That's the best defensive player

Link got back on his feet, and he looked fine! What is it? This is the real warrior! Draymond. What about Green? He doesn't deserve the name in front of his jersey! ”

Mike. Brin has always been a very neutral commentator, but this time, he couldn't help but complain about Green.

Injuries are the enemy of all professional athletes and fans.

So Green's maliciously hurting elbow made him the enemy of all athletes and fans!

The game restarted and Link executed that technical foul free throw from Green.

Everyone tacitly assumed that Link's shot would definitely go in, but unexpectedly, Link's free throw actually hit the front of the basket!

"!" Link gritted his teeth, and his chest ached sharply again as he shot.

After relieving for a while, when I didn't move, the pain was not so intense. But when I moved, it was unbearable!

Pain is actually a trivial matter, the point is that Link's shooting will be greatly affected after the pain! The penalty just now is proof of that.

Link knew that things were more serious than he thought. It's true that a rib injury isn't enough to affect a player's career. After all, it's not as important here as places like ankles, knees, Achilles tendons, and shoulders.

But there is no doubt that this will affect Link's form in this game and even in the series as a whole. And the triple championship is as important to Link's career as the ankle, knee and Achilles tendon!

In the final few rounds of the third quarter, Link didn't score, and in addition to missing a free throw just now, he also missed a pull-up jump shot in the sport.

Therefore, in the end, the Warriors managed to close the difference to single digits before the fourth quarter.

They went into the fourth quarter with a nine-point deficit.

Although the Warriors have not found any clues so far, Link knows that it is impossible to hide it.

He had to deal with it before the Warriors could make a targeted arrangement for him.

So, during this break, Link told Joggle and his teammates about the situation.

As the fourth quarter began, it became clear to Kerr that the Grizzlies' shots were spread out a lot. Link is no longer doing whatever he wants to hit the Warriors' defense like he did in the first three quarters. The Grizzlies' offense instantly turned into a Spurs-style team offense.

Link can still score, but there are fewer difficult goals, and his shooting percentage has dropped a bit compared to the previous three quarters.

Even so, Link is still the Grizzlies' most dangerous offensive point. But there is no doubt that this is an opportunity for the Warriors to chase points!

After all, the Warriors are the most efficient offensive team in the league. Even if Link's offense is only a little worse than before, it will be difficult to overpower the Warriors again.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides fought very fiercely. Without Link's near-invincible scoring point, the Grizzlies' offense has weakened a lot.

The warriors, on the other hand, rushed to catch up.

Joggle couldn't have asked Link to do better, and he couldn't even imagine how Link could have kept playing despite the excruciating pain.

But competitive sports don't show mercy, and the Warriors won't show mercy to Link because he's injured.

Finally, in the final minute of the fourth quarter, Clay. A jump layup from Thompson allowed the Warriors to finally tie the score!

The Grizzlies held out for 47 minutes before being bitten by the Warriors in the last minute.

"The score was tied and the Warriors played very tenaciously in the fourth quarter! Coach Joggle called off the game and we don't know what Link's situation is right now. But it's clear that Link's attack power is not as strong as in the first three quarters! Last minute, let's see what the Grizzlies do! ”

Mike. Brin's palms were sweaty, and he really didn't want to see the tenacious Grizzlies being overturned in the last moments.

Although he is still neutral in his mouth, his heart has long been towards the grizzly bear.

Link clutched his chest on the bench, baring his teeth, severe pain tormenting him.

It's not that Jogel didn't think about simply replacing Link, but even the current Link is still the strongest player for the Grizzlies. There is no reason to substitute the best player in the team at such a critical moment.

So, after the timeout, Link still came on in the last minute of the game.

He knew he might not be able to pull off another miracle on the offensive end today. But he'll do everything he can to give others a chance to kill the game!

Link is playing again this time, and the task is to defend!

The best defensive player, ready to put all his energy into the defensive end!

"The game restarted and Link was still there. So far, we don't know the details of Link's injury. But judging from the performance in the fourth quarter, Link was still somewhat affected. ”

Mike. As Brin spoke, the Grizzlies started the first wave of offense.

This time, Tobias. Harris makes a rollover jumper over Barnes' head. But unfortunately, the shot missed, and the entire Oracle Arena was churning!

Soon, though, the cheers of the Warriors fans turned into a sigh again. Because Curry's three-point shot after rapid advancement was interfered with by Link in time!

Link stepped back quickly, chasing after Curry almost as soon as Harris missed.

Fortunately, with Link on the floor, if Curry made that three-pointer, Joggle would have been overwhelmed.

The Grizzlies quickly fought back, but still didn't score. Butler forced his way to the frame, but Livingston was just as determined and didn't let Butler get his way.

This time, Green didn't make a long pass from the backcourt after grabbing the rebound, but pressed the rhythm.

The Warriors want to control the time and play the last offense!

With 27 seconds left, the Warriors don't plan to give the Grizzlies any time. Now Link's offensive threat has decreased, which means that the Warriors only need to score this last shot to basically guarantee victory!

Cole still doesn't believe that Link can still drift in 1.8 seconds in today's state!

Curry controlled the tempo from beyond the three-point line, waiting for the clock to tick.

Every time it hits crunch time, the Grizzlies and Link are always winners. Today, Curry is bound to win Link at a crucial moment!

With 8 seconds left, Curry activated, and he took advantage of Green's cover to kill the restricted area!

Green didn't regret hurting Link in the third quarter, and this time the pick-and-roll Green was still not clean, and he took the initiative to knock down Conley.

But the referee did not blow the whistle, and it has to be said that Green is indeed a master in hiding small movements.

Curry was able to get rid of Conley and break through quickly, and although Harris switched the guard at the first time, his footsteps were naturally not as good as Curry's.

Curry went into the restricted area and looked like he was about to make a layup.

Link rushed over in time, and that was the only thing he could do now!

Curry was secretly happy when he saw Link rushing towards him!

In fact, he is not the end point of this game. His mission is only to attract Link to defend, and the real end point of the day is another man in the "Splash Brothers", Clay. Thompson!

At this point, Thompson got rid of Butler with an off-ball screen and took his place in the bottom right corner!

Curry and Thompson scored at the same time, Thompson was just in place, and Curry's pass was delivered!

"Curry attracts the defense, he breaks the ball! Clay. Thompson gets an open shot, can he kill the game!? "Mike. Brin saw that his scalp was numb, and the Warriors' tactics for this last attack were executed perfectly!

Not every team has the ability to execute such tactics when they can get an open shot at the moment of the kill!

The moment Curry passed the ball, Link turned the gun and pounced on Thompson.

But even so, Link was still too far from Thompson. When Thompson made the shot, Link was still in the middle of the three-second zone and the bottom corner.

Thompson made a successful move, and Kerr was already on his feet, ready to rush into the arena at any moment!

Link leaped to his feet, his eyes fixed on the basketball in the air.

He had another sharp pain in his ribs, but he couldn't take care of it anymore. He insisted on playing this quarter, not to stay and watch the Warriors players celebrate the victory!

Link straightened his long arms and his body kept rising upward.

Cole's expression changed from smiling to frowning.

It stands to reason that Link is not a threat to jump off the block from such a distance.

But Link's jump was so frightening that it looked as if the basketball couldn't get past Link's fingers......

"No...... Impossible. Cole's heart instantly cooled, and in the next second, he saw Link fan the basketball that flew into the air out of the bottom line at an incredible height.

Link flew past Thompson after Link completed the block, and from Kerr's point of view, Link seemed to fly straight over Thompson's head......

"This guy, he can fly!" Beside Cole, assistant coach Luke Brown came along. A scream from Wharton.

"Link actually completed the block, he saved the Memphis Grizzlies! Oh my God, he did, he was two steps away from Thompson and he forced the ball down! Link used his incredible bounce and determination to smash the victory that the Warriors had already won with one palm! ”

Mike. Brin stood up instantly, it was the most incredible cap he had ever seen in his life!

If you want to block a shot, one of the most necessary conditions is to stay in front of the shooter.

And just now, Thompson's opportunity can be regarded as a big vacancy!

But Link used his actual actions to tell everyone that no distance is safe under his defense!

All the Warriors fans covered their heads, they couldn't believe what they had just seen. The big open shot was blocked by Link, which is simply too scary and rebellious!

In the last minute, he repeatedly offered excellent defense, but he didn't let the Warriors score even one point.

When the best defensive player puts his or her attention on the defensive end, the results are pretty scary.

What about Link? After landing, he was not excited, and he was still very serious.

He knew very well that the game wasn't over yet, and the Grizzlies hadn't won yet. The ball still belongs to the Warriors, and the Grizzlies haven't landed safely.

After Thompson was blocked, Kerr used up his last timeout to set up the final shot.

Link went straight to Carter and to the Grizzlies' highest three-point shooting percentage today.

In the eyes of others, the Grizzlies were able to drag the game into overtime in the final 3.1 seconds, which was considered a victory. But Link didn't think so, as if just now, he didn't think his defense had failed.

He doesn't just want to stop the Warriors from scoring, he wants to kill the game!

"I'm going to grab the ball later, I'm going to get the last shot. But the last vote was given to me today, and it wasn't very safe. Link wasted no time and started talking as soon as he stepped into the bench. As he spoke, he covered his ribs in excruciating pain.

"So, today we need another person to step up and take the opportunity!" Joggle understood what Link meant, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Carter.

"Vince, bottom left, I know, you're ready. I snatched the ball and you threw it in for me, okay? Seeing that Jogger was also about to hand over the final attack to Carter, Link put his hand on the shoulder of "Old Flyer".

After 14 years of second chance, Carter really waited.
