At the Federal Express Arena, there are fans waving the huge flag of the Grizzlies. In the past, in Vancouver, the fans used to be so enthusiastic. But in the team's year after year of defeat, the enthusiasm faded.

Later, the Grizzlies came to Memphis. However, Memphis is a city like Vancouver. Here, people are more concerned about their livelihoods. Basketball? Just pay attention once in a while.

But now, the team is about to reach the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row. The enthusiasm of Memphis fans was also completely ignited.

At this point, the series aggregate score had become 3-2. After a two-game winning streak at home, the Grizzlies were pulled back by the Spurs after moving to the ATT Center.

But that still hasn't affected the Grizzlies' determination to advance, and they're bound to beat the Spurs on this home court!

After all, the Grizzlies haven't lost at home so far in the series!

Link gets the basketball from beyond the three-point line, and Leonard's defense is now less difficult for Link. It's not that Leonard has become weaker, it's that Link has become accustomed to Leonard's defensive intensity.

Link looked up, and behind Leonard, Burreth . . . Christian Dior is ready to defend himself. The Spurs' defense is always one after the other, but if you look closely, you can also find patterns.

Link then counts the plan, calls Gasol Jr. to cover, and then breaks through to the basket!

Under the "warm care" of Leonard and Dior, Link, who went deep under the basket, to open up more space for Randolph.

When to pass the ball, it's actually a science. It's early. Doesn't serve the purpose of attracting the defense. But wait until you get to the basket before passing the ball, and it's too difficult to pass.

However, it is not too difficult for Link to find teammates in the cracks.

Link pretended to make a layup after jumping, but in the air, he used his waist and abdomen to hook up and pass the ball under Dior's armpit.

At this time, Randolph, who was standing at a medium distance, was completely empty. Link has fully achieved his goal of attracting the defence, and his passing is still deadly!

Randolph lived up to Link's brilliant pass, and since he scored 22 points and 16 rebounds in Game 4 of the series, Randolph's form has picked up somewhat. This time, Randolph's mid-range shot still hit steadily!

"Hey!" Popovich threw his fist helplessly, it was really something that could not be helped.

Dio doesn't help defending, Link wants to score. Dio helps defend, Link can help others score.

Link, Link...... This entire series, Link has been a nightmare for the Spurs.

Randolph's shot gave him his 18th point of the game, and at the same time, it also put the Spurs behind by 10 points with three minutes left in the game!

"The efficiency is so low, and with the Grizzlies' tough defense, most of the Spurs' players today are very inefficient offensively! Leonard, who scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the last game, has only made 1 of 4 shots so far. Duncan wasn't as efficient today, shooting just 42.4 percent from the field. Parker made 6-of-12 shooting and had four assists, but five turnovers! Rumor has it that Stephen. Jackson is already very unhappy with Parker's form and style of play, and this may be the first time in history that the Spurs have been in the news of infighting. ”

Hubi. Brown finally summed up the Spurs' state today in one sentence, "It's like a mountain of defeat!" ”

The Spurs have actually performed very well in this year's playoffs, with Kawhi Leonard shooting 100% from three-point range in the first game and Duncan and Parker both scoring 20 points in the second game. In the third game, Dior made 7 of 9 shots and cut all-around statistics, and in the fifth and sixth games, the Spurs also played their wholeness.

But it's the playoffs, and it's not about who plays worse, it's about who plays better.

The Spurs' performance is great, but the Grizzlies' performance is even better!

Link has played six games, and none of them have been below 20+5+5. In Game 3 of the series, he even had the first playoff triple-double in Grizzlies history. Except for a slightly lower shooting percentage in the first game, there were basically no black spots in the entire series.

His excellence allowed the Spurs to be completely buried.

In the final three minutes, the shouts of Grizzlies fans were even more aggressive. Making it to the Western Conference Finals two years in a row is not an easy feat.

Chris. Paul's dream for so many years is to touch the floor of the Western Conference finals, and the Rockets, who won 22 consecutive games that year, are far from the Western Conference finals. And now, the Grizzlies are only 3 minutes away from standing on the battlefield of the top of the West for the second year in a row!

"The Memphis Grizzlies have risen and they proved that last season's success wasn't just a flash in the pan! Being able to defeat the Spurs in the playoffs for two consecutive years shows the Grizzlies' ability! I know that many people have the impression that the Grizzlies are still an underwhelming team. But the Memphis players will let that impression fade over time! ”

Hubi. Brown knew the game wasn't over yet, but he didn't shy away from celebrating the victory early.

The Grizzly Bears are like hungry beasts, and once the prey is in hand, they won't let go easily! The San Antonio Spurs are the prey of the Grizzlies players at this time!

"A grizzly bear without Guy could have sunk like this."

"With Randolph's form slipping and Guy being out for another season, the Grizzlies can't go very far."

"Without Mayo, Guy and Randolph, use Link as a scorer? Haha, the Grizzlies have one more round of tours this year! ”

"Using an undrafted pick as the core? The Grizzlies are hopeless! ”

'He's a good player, but not to the point where he can lead the team alone.

"Bang!" Link broke through for a one-handed dunk, and the basket made a loud noise. This sound shattered the Spurs' last hope, and at the same time, it also broke the doubts that had been haunting Link's ears for a whole season!

Now, Lao Tzu has led the team to the Western Conference Finals, what else do you have to say!

After the goal, Link raised his arms to the stands and was greeted by thousands of fans. 23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, Link cut another 20+5+5 to end the game!

For him, it was undoubtedly a season that established the status of the team! Last season, Link was just a wonder soldier, and he was just Zack's right-hand man.

But this year, he proved that the team is still one of the best teams in the West with himself at its core!

After 20 seconds, the game was over. Confetti fell from the sky, and the entire Federal Express arena shook.

Duncan walked up to Link and hugged him. But instead of saying, "The future is yours," he said, "You're great, you deserve this victory better than anyone else." With this honor, let's go to the finals. ”

To be recognized by opponents, especially players like Duncan, Link is naturally very happy.

But Link is also well aware that this may not be the last time the Spurs will cause problems for the Grizzlies.

"Next season, your No. 2 will be very strong." Link patted Duncan on the back and muttered in his ear.

"Haha, you're right, next season is not sure who will say goodbye to whom."

Link shook his head, sure enough, this is Duncan's style.

"But ......"

Link wanted to be separated from Duncan, but found that Duncan's arms were still holding him tightly, and he said, "But." ”

"You're really good, though. Keep up the good work and you'll be the top star in the league. I believe that the future is yours. ”

Five years ago, when the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4-0 in the NBA Finals, Duncan embraced LeBron on his way to the league's No. 1 position. James, and said to James the famous quote of the century: "The future is yours." ”

Now, five years later, Duncan, who is almost 40 years old, once again embraces one of the league's top small forwards in the playoffs, which can't help but evoke many associations.

As noted by ESPN's famous correspondent. Adander tweeted after the game: "When Link looks into Duncan's eyes and talks to him like LeBron does, it always comes to mind. Maybe in a few years, we will usher in a whole new era. This time, the future may really belong to Link! ”
