Since Link led the Grizzlies' defense in the second quarter, the two sides have been entangled until the end.

During this period, the Spurs' biggest lead was only five points, and they were unable to play the same devastating offense as they did in the first quarter. Link only rested for a minute and a half in each quarter. His figure running across the field has become the most impressive shot today.

Popovich has been waiting, waiting for the final moments of the fourth quarter to come. Now, he's finally waited.

At this point, Tim. Duncan is standing at the free-throw line. Just now, the "big fundamentals" caused Gasol Jr. to foul in the low post and won two free throws.

Popovich stood on the sidelines, but his eyes weren't on Duncan, but on Link. I saw Link seize the time of Duncan's free throws to support his knees with his hands, and did not miss any second of rest.

Popovich smiled proudly, even if you are an iron man, you should not be able to hold it now! After beating the Celtics yesterday, Link was so tired that he sat straight to the ground. It can be seen that yesterday's game was not easy for him either.

In such a situation, it is impossible for Link to hold out to the end with such a defense today!

"Link is tired, do you want to replace him for a break." On the Grizzlies' side, people naturally found out about Link's condition. Grizzlies assistant coach Elston. Turner reminded Hollins as he stared nervously at the court.

Of course he knew Link was tired, but he really didn't dare to get off Link! As soon as Link is off the court, the Grizzlies' defensive quality drops a notch.

The Spurs are indeed too strong, and this kind of strength is not the same as that of the Thunder and the Bulls.

Playing the Thunder, as long as you contain Durant and Westbrook, you basically win half the way. Playing the Bulls, as long as you watch Rose, the Bulls' offense is basically useless.

But Spurs are different, they are all soldiers. Everyone can pass on, everyone can vote. If you don't pay attention to it, the difference will be widened. This group of old guys has taken "team basketball" to the extreme, and this kind of offense is actually quite gorgeous.

That's right, gorgeous. Few people associate unpretentious spurs with the word flamboyant. But Hollins thinks this beautiful team offense is gorgeous.

Duncan made two free throws at the free throw line, don't look at this thing, he always likes to make a little comic behavior from time to time, but on the basketball court, "Stone Buddha" is absolutely reliable and will never drop the line at critical moments.

"Hit both free throws, Tim. Duncan remains steady. The Spurs led by three points with just 3:32 left in the game. Time is running out for the Grizzlies and they must overtake the score as soon as possible. "Cole was sweating profusely, not because the air conditioning at the ATT center was broken, but because the game was so intense.

Just over a week ago, the Spurs won by 10 points over the Grizzlies. As a result, now, it is inseparable from the Grizzly Bears. Kerr felt a little incredible, what is it that has sustained the Grizzlies to achieve so much potential. The Grizzlies are back to the same beast they were from last season, and they may not win, but they can definitely make their opponents miserable!

yes, Link is really tired, and the rest of the Grizzlies are very tired. But if you look at the Spurs players, are they relaxed?

Link is still working diligently defensively, and Leonard thinks this guy in front of him is crazy. It's not for anyone to be willing to defend at this level.

It's Anthony, and he's thankful that he can hold on to this kind of defense for a minute.

Leonard deliberately put Link in the bottom right corner this time, in order to prevent Link from easily defending and not allowing him to interfere with other people's attacks.

But Link still watched the whole half, and where there was a need, he rushed to it!

This time, the Spurs were very patient in passing the ball, the basketball passed through the hands of several people, and the Grizzlies also changed their defense several rounds.

Link first made up for Ginobili, and then immediately rushed to the inside to wrap Duncan.

In the end, Leonard was left empty again in the bottom left corner, and at this time, all the Spurs players unknowingly pulled to the right side, and no one could help Link to make up the defense!

"Damn it!" Link ran towards Leonard the moment Duncan started to pass the ball.

At this time, Link was almost overdrawn, he couldn't run, and he felt like his heart was already overloaded.

But Leonard was standing there, and he had the chance to pull the score away. If that shot is made and the Spurs stretch the margin to six points, everything will fall short, and the Grizzlies will likely lose to the Spurs for the third time this season, and the damn win-streak curse will continue to haunt the Grizzlies.

As soon as he thought of this, Link urged himself, "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Then, squeezing the last of his strength, he lunged at Leonard, interfering with the "Future Soldier's" shot.

Leonard didn't show any expression throughout the game, and Link didn't hear a word from him. But this time, when Link blocked it, he found that Leonard's brow was furrowed.

Link snickered, this guy's shot must have been seriously interfered with!

"Leonard's left-corner jumper! But Link sealed it! As always, he filled the vacancy with his positivity! Cole stood up, but not to cheer for the goal, but to prepare for the cheer of the iron!

"How is this possible!?" Popovich scolded secretly, that guy should have been physically exhausted!

"I think he has a strong heart, Pop. Stronger hearts than you and me, more than most of the players in this league. Budenholzer, who was next to Popovich, shook his head, Link is terrible today!

"Boom!"

Leonard was knocked to the side of the basket by Link's heavily interfered three-point jumper, and Link defended successfully!

Before Leonard could react, he saw Link suddenly turn and run backwards, and then grabbed the long rebound. So far, this is Link's 11th rebound of the day.

That guy was so tired, but still so positive. Leonard's brow furrowed even deeper, perhaps the most serious expression he'd ever had ever done on the basketball court.

Link got the ball and handed it to Conley, he couldn't run anymore and he didn't participate in the quick attack. Save your strength and deal with the Spurs' comeback in the last moments.

Link has only scored eight points today, but has already chipped in 11 rebounds, nine assists, four steals and three blocks. He put all his energy on the defensive end, and if the offense had gone to play with Leonard, Link would have been on his stomach long ago.

This time, the Grizzlies' fast-break didn't work, and Link received a pass from Conley from outside the three-point line. He looked at the situation on the court, so he held the ball and leaned on Leonard, he wanted to hit Spurs No. 2 with his back!

"Is Link going on offense? He still has the strength to stay on the offensive end!? "Cole is shocked, what kind of monster is this Nima!

Link certainly wasn't a monster, he was just waiting for an opportunity.

Just as Link was pushing into the middle distance, Rudy. Guy suddenly kicked off, shook off Spurs short center Blair, and cut along the baseline.

Guy was very happy to play small and big because he was pushed to the No. 4 position today. Link saw Guy coming in, so he hit the ground with his back to the ground.

After Guy held the ball, he took three steps directly, faced Duncan's block, came to a big loop under the basket, and pulled the rod to make a layup.

With his ninth assist, Link is still shining on the offensive end in his own way.

"There are just over 2 minutes left in the game, can Link still hold on!?"

As soon as Kerr finished saying this, Link collected another rebound. This time, Ginobili's jumper from beyond the three-point line was inaccurate, Gasol Jr. stuck Duncan, and Blair, a short center who came on for Split, jammed Gay.

But Link came from the side and snatched the rebound before Blair! Although Blair is in the fifth position, he will be more than 2 meters tall, so he has no advantage over Link.

The 12th rebound, Link is still fighting!

The Grizzlies didn't waste Link's effort, and this time, Conley received a return pass from Link after attracting the defense, and hit a shot from outside the three-point line!

In an instant, the Spurs were 2 points behind the Grizzlies! Kerr shouted from the commentary stand, "Double-double, Link scored his third double-double of the season today!" ”

Kerr looked at the data table, Link's score was still 8 points, and he got a double-double with 12 rebounds and 10 assists!

It can be said that it is very distinctive.

Link continues to contribute to the Grizzlies, and Popovich has been looking forward to Link's lay-up for a long time. But Link is like a little strong who can't be killed, and he hasn't died in the end!

Just when everyone thought that Link would be immersed in it, he jumped out and brushed another wave of presence.

This time, it was Ginobili who broke through the ball and wanted to find Duncan in the middle distance. Link, who shrank to the basket, reached out to destroy the pass at the moment of the Argentine's pass, and the ball of the "demon knife" was equivalent to being sent directly to Link's arms!

Popovich's neck is red every day, and Ginobili's pass is like that, always wandering on the edge of a top 10 and a turnover. But at this time, the mistake is simply fatal.

12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, a wonderful 10+10+5 data, was born!

"5 steals, this is a career high for Link! Tonight is destined to be Link's milestone night! ”

Link was still conscientious, even though he was so tired that his collar was soaked, he still didn't forget to run.

In the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies were on the verge of a shot. It was Link who led by example and helped the Grizzlies stabilize the situation.

And now, as the game is about to be decided. It was Link again, who stepped up and blew the horn for the Grizzlies to fight back.

In the next few minutes, the Grizzlies went from strength to strength. Instead, it was the Spurs players who began to pant because of the Grizzlies' tight defense, and their shooting consistency also decreased.

In the final 38 seconds of the first quarter, the Grizzlies had a three-point lead over the Spurs. If you score another goal, you can basically seal the victory.

This defense is about the final result for the Spurs. Popovich then stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly.

The Spurs were also very tight defensively, and basically everyone was being stared at. Although the Spurs have shifted to an offensive team, that doesn't mean they have completely abandoned defense.

Conley was forced to give the ball to the second playmaker Link, and as soon as Link got the ball, the Spurs instantly executed a strict man-to-man defense, cut off the passing route, and forced you Link to single Leonard.

Link looked at his teammates' positions, and then suddenly accelerated!

Everyone was stunned, this guy is really fighting!?

Leonard strikes with a big hand and prepares to steal Link's basketball! Just as he was about to stab the basketball away with his palm, Link leaned on Leonard and turned around.

It's over!

"What!?" Popovich's eyes widened, can Link still turn around at this time?

Actually, it's really not good, Link has reached the limit. The moment he turned around, his calves were sore.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered and fought into the box. Under Duncan's block, prepare for a layup.

But before he could jump, he had just made physical contact with Duncan when Link suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf and poured out of the bottom line!

The referee's whistle blows, Duncan fouls defensively, and Link wants to make two free throws! If you hit two free throws, the game is over!

The Grizzlies players excitedly ran over to pull Link up, only to find Link sitting on the ground in pain.

"What's going on!?" Conley crouched down to check, he was terrified.

"It's just a cramp, damn it." Link smiled bitterly, fortunately he wasn't hurt! But the taste of being tired and cramping is not pleasant.

After resting for about 20 seconds and making sure his leg was not damaged, Link stood up with his teammates' hands and limped to the free throw line.

The eyes of all San Antonios turned desperate, and the "Grim Reaper" stood on the free throw line, ready to kill the game!

Link insisted on standing on the field and holding the ball steadily. He knew that the responsibility was now on his shoulders. But he is not afraid to shoulder the responsibility, because being able to shoulder heavy responsibilities just shows that you are capable enough.

There's an old saying, how do you say it? With great power comes great responsibility.

Link, enduring a faint ache and intense exhaustion, hit the ground with two free throws at the free throw line!

With 10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, and 3 blocks, Link used his perseverance to fill up the data sheet and grind the Spurs to death!

Popovich's mouth opened wide before he remembered to close it.

That damn No. 0, what kind of monster the hell is it?

In the final 16 seconds, the Spurs trailed by five points because of Link's brave breakaway. The game is basically over.
