The San Antonio Spurs wanted to destroy the Grizzlies all the time, but they never succeeded.

In the third quarter of the game, Link's dunk through Split made Popovich almost have a nervous breakdown.

Obviously, success was just around the corner, but he died suddenly. This kind of thing keeps repeating itself, who can stand it.

Little did Popovich know at the time that it was just the beginning of Link's torture of himself.

In the second half, Link played very hard. But in the end, it helped the Grizzlies stabilize the score and was not pulled away by the Spurs in one fell swoop.

Whenever the Spurs were ready to take away the game in a wave, the guy who was sweating, panting, and had a different skin color than everyone on the court would always stand up and give the Spurs a slap in the face.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Parker made a free throw, and the margin widened to six points. Then, Link took a tentative step outside the three-point line and directly pulled up the shot, one arrow pierced the heart, and the difference was narrowed to 3 points!

In the seventh minute of the third quarter, Ginobili broke through in European steps, and was stunned to make a miraculous goal with Gasol's supplement, and the difference was expanded to 5 points!

Before this advantage could be covered in his pocket, Link used a layup in the transition offense to beat the Spurs back to the time before liberation.

Parker hit a three-pointer as soon as the fourth quarter began, and the Frenchman was quite strong today. But then, Link grabbed an offensive rebound in the three-second zone, and then assisted Conley to score a three-pointer into the net!

This has been going on until now, with 42 seconds left before the end of the race. Ginobili's layup was blocked by Link, and the Grizzlies got the ball.

When Ginobili broke through Iguodala and made a successful layup, Popovich couldn't help but cheer. As a result, that damn No. 0 came out again, and Popovich's excitement was suppressed.

Popovich felt like he was going to vomit blood! At the same time, he was amazed. It's so tired that you can still burst out with strength, what a terrible perseverance!

What a terrible desire to win!

Popovich watched carefully that in the fourth quarter of the game, when both sides made free throws, Link would take the opportunity to rest on his knees. This proves that Link is indeed too tired, no matter how good his physical fitness is, he can't withstand such a toss.

Link, however, always pushes himself to do things that are beyond his physical range. It can be seen that Link will not allow this game to be lost.

The moment the Grizzlies player got the ball, Stevens immediately called a halt to the game. At this point, there are only a few tens of seconds left before the end of the game, and any one goal has the potential to change the course of the game.

Link sat down on the bench, his chest rising and falling violently. The live camera also gave Link a close-up, and the stats of Link's game were played at the bottom of the screen.

41 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists plus 1 steal and 2 blocks, 40 points and a double-double!

Popovich pressed Link to single, and as a result, Link did not "live up" to Popovich's expectations.

Instead of being dumbfounded in the second half, he played with amazing efficiency in both halves.

This is the third time Link has scored 40 points this season, and his scoring explosion is undeniable. But because a lot of the shooting power is in Link's hands, even if Link scores 40 points, the Grizzlies are still only tied with the Spurs. It was a great game and a brutal one for Link. If he loses, then the sacrifices he has made will be in vain. "Hubby. Brown's hands trembled slightly as he looked at Link's stats.

Scoring 40 for the third time in a single season, before, could anyone dare to imagine that the Grizzlies could produce such a star?

Link has done everything he could, and he's costing Popovich dearly. But the game is not over yet, and who will have the last laugh in the end is not certain.

If you score 40 points and lose the game, what's the point of 40 points?

Stevens laid out the offense and defense for the next round and left one last timeout just in case. After the timeout, the Spurs made a substitution, with Popovich replacing Split with Dio and Duncan playing at the No. 5 position. Replaced Ginobili with Green to solidify the defense and three-pointers.

On the Grizzly Bears' side, it's still the same. The Grizzlies' five starters were all tired, and Link was the hardest. Conley is tired and has Vasquith instead. Iguodala is tired and has Jimmy. Butler and Tony. Alan. The big black bear is tired of Speights and Arthur, and the big white bear is tired of Azeli.

Only Link, he has no one to replace. So, he's also the longest-playing player for the Grizzlies today.

Now that the two sides are drawn, the Spurs are also paying extra attention to defense this time. Whoever wins this round will have the key to victory.

Even Leonard is somewhat scared when facing Link now. Being scored 41 points on top of the head by one person is not a wonderful experience. Although not all of these 41 points were scored on Leonard's head, it was Laonard who was mainly opposite Link today. So, he has to carry this pot.

At this time, Popovich had actually changed his strategy. He admits that his strategy of forcing Link to play singles was wrong. Nonsense, 41 points were scored by someone else's singles, if this is considered a success, then is there any defense in this world that fails?

Therefore, he specially instructed Duncan, "Help defend Link!" If Link breaks through, protect the basket immediately! ”

Link didn't hold the ball this time, but cut close to the box without the ball and received a response pass from Gasol Jr. Popovich must admit that Stevens' tactical arrangement was very delicate. In order to let Link not be hindered, Gasol Jr. was deliberately pulled to the middle distance, which also pulled away the Spurs' center by the way.

Popovich nodded approvingly, worthy of being a well-known NCAA young coach, worthy of the man who made the Grizzlies change dramatically in his first year of entering the Grizzlies.

But again, it's the players who play on the pitch and decide the game.

Duncan saw Link catch the ball and attack the frame, and hurried to the basket with two big steps, very decisive!

Link didn't think Duncan was going to come up, so he wasn't ready to pass. When he was already on the layup, he found that Duncan had made up for it.

This time, Link didn't have the strength to curl up in the air and dodge the block with a pull-up layup, nor did he have the strength to turn the shot into a pass and send the ball to Gasol.

He was too tired, his physical strength had long since passed the last critical point, and he had long since dried up. In the face of Duncan's reinforcement, Link couldn't do anything.

In the end, Duncan took a slight leap and, with his excellent judgment, easily slapped the basketball in Link's hand. Although Duncan's bounce is better than nothing, as an old monster who can block while standing, he will not miss a shot in the face of such an exhausting layup.

Link fell to the ground in embarrassment, and he wanted to get up and chase after him immediately, but he really couldn't. By the time he got up and was ready to accelerate, the Spurs had formed a situation of more play and less in the frontcourt.

Parker ended up sending all Memphis fans into despair with his mid-range shot.

"Tony. Parker scored his 30th point of the game! The French almost ...... "Hubi. Brown paused, remembering that the Grizzlies had fought so hard today, and that Link had played so perfectly, he couldn't bear to say the next words, "The French almost, killed the ...... game"

Duncan rushed up and hugged Parker, Split frantically waved the towel, and Dio shook his fists vigorously. The Spurs players seem to have started to celebrate the victory.

Once again, Spurs are on the brink of victory. But this time, will Link still be able to stand up and stop them?

Looking at the Spurs players who were celebrating, Link limped off the court with his waist crossed, and in the end he couldn't walk anymore, so he beckoned two teammates to support him.

Stevens and all Memphis fans were taken aback, but luckily, Link just had cramps.

It's so tiring.

Seeing Link's state, Popovich's brow finally relaxed. It dragged on for 48 minutes, and finally brought him down!

Stevens rushed to get the team doctor to massage Link, and they had 10.3 seconds left. This physical condition, playing overtime is also in vain, because it will definitely not be able to hold on. So, the only way is to get a three!

Of course, Stevens wasn't prepared for Link to make the final shot. After all, he is tired like this, and the hit rate is not necessarily guaranteed. Mike. Conley, Stevens' last resort!

But before Stevens could speak, Link, who was sitting on the ground and receiving a massage, was the first to speak.

"Brad, I'm okay." Link's eyes are firm, and he still wants to stand up again and completely break the Spurs' dream!
