As soon as the game opened, the two sides attacked and defended each other, and the game was not lively.

Back-to-back goals from both teams seem to have set the tone for this game.

This matchup, no, this whole series, is sure to be quite intense.

The Warriors continued to hold the lead, but Durant was a little uneasy.

He didn't know what Link had just said to Jokic, which made Durant care.

After talking to Link, Jokic didn't seem to be downcast anymore.

In the Western Conference Finals last season, to be honest, Jokic didn't impress Durant much. In his opinion, Jokic is just a slightly better second-round pick.

But this year, Jokic's stellar play has made it impossible for Durant to turn a blind eye to him anymore.

That guy is definitely capable of causing trouble for the Warriors!

It is precisely because of this that Durant is jealous.

Link and Jokic have very high ball quotients, and God knows what they're up to.

However, the Grizzlies' offense after that was very dull.

Jokic and Link didn't play much of a fine game, and the offense ended with Wade's stop-and-go shots.

Durant couldn't believe that he had taken the Grizzlies down so easily this time, could it be that Link and Jokic were just bluffing?

It's not impossible!

Link has great skills, and it is impossible to make his teammates explode with just a few words every time.

Durant instantly felt a lot more relieved, and now, he just wants to focus on offense!

The Warriors' offense is still aggressive, and Durant is still very aggressive.

This time, Durant chose to use his back to play alone against Link.

However, when it comes to dribbling with his back, Durant is very uncomfortable.

In addition to blocking Durant from advancing easily, Link kept reaching out to interfere with Durant's dribbling.

And Link was very accurate, and there wasn't a single attempt at a steal that resulted in a foul.

Durant played extremely uncomfortable and ended up with a turnover jumper without being fully prepared.

With the lesson just learned, Link jumped up and reacted very quickly to interfere with the shot!

Even Durant couldn't easily aim for the basket this time around.

"Bang!"

The basketball knocked out of the frame, and Durant missed for the first time in this game under Link's defense!

The moment Durant hit the iron, Link immediately rushed to the frontcourt.

Durant didn't have time to be annoyed and hurriedly followed.

Want to fight back? There are no doors!

Durant chased Link as he turned his head to look at the basket.

Sure enough, Jokic has grabbed the rebound and is ready to launch a long pass in the backcourt!

"Come on, come on, send the ball over!" Durant meditated in his mind, waiting for Jokic to pass the ball.

Young players are really young players, they have just suffered a loss, and they don't know what to do.

Then, let's break it again and give him a long memory!

Jokic raised the basketball and was about to pass, but suddenly slammed the ball to the ground at the moment of the ball!

"What!?" Durant, who was about to jump and cut off the basketball, was stunned, this was not a high ball, it was actually a ground-hitting pass?

Landing a ball from the back? That fat guy is crazy!?

Of course not, Jokic was just doing what Link had told.

Indeed, launching a long ball from the back is an unbelievable thing for the average player.

But for Jokic, it's no different from a normal pass!

The basketball bounced back vigorously after hitting the ground, passing through the legs of several people, and then bounced precisely to Link's side!

Durant has just had his center of gravity all raised and was ready to jump up and cut off the basketball, and now he has no time to lower his waist.

So, he could only watch Link receive this ground-hitting pass that pierced almost the entire half of the court and walked away!

"What kind of fairy pass is this!? Are you sure it's a ball that a number five can pass!? "Mike. Brin was completely stunned.

After so many years of commenting on the game, he has never seen a big man pass the ball like this!

Indeed, this is not the first time that long-range ground passes have appeared in the playoffs.

The likes of Nash, Rondo, Paul and Link have all had the experience of successfully completing long-range ground passes.

But they are all outside players without exception, and Link is strange enough to be in this ranks as a striker!

Now, there is actually a center mixed in!

The moment Link received the basketball, he felt extremely relieved.

Now, it's time for the world to take a good look at the full strength of this fat man's second-round show!

It's been several years since the Grizzlies drafted Jokic. Now, it's time to show the results!

After two big steps, Link burst into the box and scored with a one-handed smash!

Durant couldn't stop the Grizzlies from fighting back again, and trying to steal Jokic's pass was more difficult than he thought.

That big fat man who looks like no threat at all is now playing a role in the Grizzlies!

Link gestured to Jokic and thanked him for his wonderful pass.

Jokic also laughed innocently, sure enough, listening to Link's advice, you can't go wrong!

Of course, when Link and Jokic whispered just now, it wasn't just as simple as letting him pass the shot.

Link has given him more tasks.

On the ensuing attack, Curry hit a high-toss layup to give the Warriors the lead again.

Conley has been defending very hard, but Curry is the kind of guy like Link, and it's hard to really limit him.

Durant is waiting for him, and this time, he will never let Link score easily!

Link ran to the Warriors' half, neither receiving possession nor running too hard.

After he reached the bottom right corner, he simply stood still.

It seems that this attack will need someone other than Link to handle it.

Conley pushed forward slowly, gesturing as he went.

At this point, Jokic suddenly mentioned the mid-range position and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Green is on the lookout, and he knows very well how good Jokic is at finishing in the low post. Therefore, he needs to do everything in his power to ensure that Jokic stays out of the restricted area.

Jokic received the basketball, but his next move left everyone dumbfounded.

I saw that he didn't make any pause after receiving the basketball, but turned his back to the basket and threw the ball to the back of his head without looking back!

And before that, Link, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, suddenly activated and killed Durant by surprise.

It turned out that Link was not ambushed in the bottom corner to shoot three-pointers, nor to let others handle the offense, but to cut to the basket empty-handed.

As a result, Link's move was spotted by Jokic, and this wonderful legend was born!

There was an exclamation from the audience, this goal was very similar to Yao Ming's behind-the-head pass back then, but it was more difficult!

Yao Ming's ball, after receiving the basketball, saw his teammates cut in from the other side, and then passed the ball out.

But Jokic's ball, he passed it out the moment he received it. Moreover, I didn't look at Link the whole time!

After Jokic's stunning backhead, Link, who cut along the baseline, avoided Durant's pursuit with a pull-up layup and successfully drove the ball up.

The score was equalized again, and the connection between Jokic and Link shocked the world again!

"How did this guy do it? It doesn't make sense! Nikolai. Jokic is amazing, how did he just judge Link's position!? ”

Mike. Bryn was puzzled, and in front of Jokic, Divac, Brad. Miller, and even his teammate Gasol Jr., and other fifth-position passing masters, seem to have been overshadowed!

A chubby Jokic began to come back to defense, and he was still the same player who looked intimidating.

But now, he has become the number one dangerous man on the field.

After that, the Grizzlies were as tough as ever. Clay. Thompson faked a real shot past Wade and got to the basket, but Jokic showed up in time to complete the block with his tofu-cube-high bounce.

It turns out that with the right timing and positioning, you can complete the block even if you don't jump high.

This time, Durant stuck to Link for the first time, and Klay immediately rushed back to Wade's side.

The Warriors' strategy was clear, which was to cut off the passing route and avoid the Grizzlies from making an easy counterattack.

But after doing so, the Warriors' overall defense was not fast enough.

Jokic remembered Link's advice just now, so after winning the basketball, he began to dribble himself to initiate the switch!

Watching Jokic dribble quickly across the halfcourt, all the Warriors players were stunned.

What's going on!? He didn't even pass the ball? The center can hold the ball and go down!?

Green naturally won't let Jokic get his way, and he rushes in diagonally to cut off Jokic's ball.

Generally speaking, big men can easily break the dribble, and even if they can't make a direct steal and just poke the ball out of bounds, the Warriors still have a chance to reorganize their defense.

However, just as Green was about to touch the basketball, Jokic flexibly changed hands behind his back, allowing Green to pounce!

"Changing hands behind his back in the process of advancing with the ball, shaking Green! Oh my God, Jokic's technique is so delicate! In this day and age, where do you go to find such a center!? "Mike. Brin's whole scalp was numb.

After shaking off Green, Jokic took advantage of the situation to get inside and then dunked with both hands!

The Grizzlies completed the overtake, and Jokic made another contribution!

Durant's eyes widened and he swallowed.

Link, I'm afraid it's not poisonous! It's really going to break out with whoever you talk to!

Link certainly didn't have that much magic, he just reminded Jokic a few words.

Suggestions such as "pay attention to more passes", "watch more movements", and "play fast with the ball when you have the opportunity" are really commonplace.

It's Jokic's own ability to make these mundane suggestions useful.

Jokic scored a goal that shook the entire Federal Express arena.

The young Serbian fat man yelled at the stands, as if he had vented all the grievances of the past year.

Meanwhile, Steve. Kerr called the first timeout of the game.

He had to revisit Jokic's threat and set it up accordingly, the goofy-looking fat boy who was threatening the Warriors' victory!

On the court, Link jumped up directly in excitement and jumped on Jokic's back.

Jokic also simply carried Link to the bench.

This year, the originally immature arms were finally able to shelter Link from the wind and rain!

Link was very excited, because the two goals of Jokic just now were extremely exciting in Link's opinion.

Jokic did live up to his expectations, and his performance made Link feel very relieved.

Of course, this is just the beginning. There are still many tricks for Link and Jokic today.
