Mark. Gasol threw in a key mid-range shot to send the game into overtime, saving the Grizzlies' life.

Link let out a big sigh, but fortunately he knew where Gasol was standing, so he clicked the ball over as soon as possible.

But Link didn't feel like it was his key rebound that saved the game, on the contrary, Link was quite self-blaming for his last-minute miss.

The biggest responsibility of the star is to kill the game in a difficult moment, but Link didn't do it today, even he felt a little sorry for the team and the fans.

"My bad, my bad, I should have killed the game." Link raised his hand and gestured to all his teammates.

"Hey, don't worry, we still have a chance." Gasol touched Link's head as a gesture of comfort.

This scene is somewhat similar to the picture of Gasol touching Kobe's head.

Link is always able to save the Grizzlies in desperate moments, as if as long as he gives the ball to Link at the critical moment, he will definitely be able to score.

Everyone is used to this, even Link himself.

Since a few years ago at Chris. Since Paul's first smash match, Link seems to be synonymous with "Mr. Key".

As everyone knows, the success rate of the lore game has not been high.

Link is used to doing miracles, but he forgets that miracles don't happen often.

The Grizzlies players understand Link, and no one blames him. Everyone behaved like Gasol and encouraged Link.

But what about Link? It was as if he couldn't forgive himself.

The grizzly walked off the court silently, his expression serious.

He doesn't want to disappoint his teammates anymore!

When a paranoid person starts to fight himself, something unexpected often happens......

※※※

At the end of regulation time, the two sides were tied at 92.

With 92 points in 48 minutes, neither team scored high today. After all, both sides were very tight on hits.

But the low hit rate did not make the game less enjoyable.

Today's game is not inferior even to the first two meetings between the two teams this season.

The main reason for this is that the wrestling between the two teams at key moments is very intense.

Danny. Green saved three pointers again and again. Gasol's late whistle shot was enough to push the game to a climax.

Therefore, although the game was dragged into extra time, the fans still did not feel bored, but still unsatisfied.

The 18,000 fans in the stadium were eager to continue watching how the Spurs slowly tortured the Grizzlies to death.

"I said, the Grizzlies are just flickering. The only change they can bring about after they drag the game into extra time is to postpone the loss. The on-site commentary was very confident, and when he saw Link miss the shot at the critical moment, he was convinced that Link would not be able to create another miracle today.

Michael. The power of Jordan's "poisoned milk" is that even Link can't resist.

"Overtime is really bad for the Grizzlies, and teams that have just played back-to-back games often struggle to perform well in overtime. Exhaustion and physical strength can be their worst enemies. Link had said after yesterday's victory over the Warriors that he would lead the team back to No. 1 in the West as soon as possible, but now it seems that the Grizzlies' plan to return to No. 1 in the West may have gone awry. ”

The tone of both commentators was very relaxed, as if the Spurs victory had been written on the record table.

In fact, it wasn't just the two commentators, even Popovich decided to win the game.

"Kawaii, extra time continues to smash Link. You did well in the first four quarters, and as long as you can keep it, the victory will be ours! ”

Popovich is very excited, and the Spurs, as the only team that can give the Grizzlies a defeat in last season's playoffs, seem to have always had a special "anti-bear" body fat.

Winning this game won't change the Spurs' losses in the playoffs over the past few years.

But at the very least, it can give the Spurs a glimpse of the light of day against the Grizzlies.

In the last game when Link was away, the Spurs won, and people said that it was not because the Spurs were strong, but because the Grizzlies were greatly reduced.

But today, with Link playing, if Spurs win again, there will be no excuses from the outside world!

Both Popovich and the Spurs desperately need a morale-boosting win like this, and they desperately need to prove that their aging selves are still competitive in the league.

Leonard nodded silently, then wiped his sweat.

What struck Leonard as strange was that everyone who seemed to be there was a lot of confidence in the game and was saying that Link was not doing well.

But is Link really doing badly? He had 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists on 42.5% shooting.

If such data were to be put on other people, it would never be possible for anyone to say that it was a bad performance.

Leonard's defense against Link today is not easy at all, on the surface, Leonard is suppressing Link, but Leonard himself has almost disappeared on the offensive end because of this.

Human energy is limited, and if Leonard wants to defend Link well, he is destined not to waste too much energy and physical strength on the offensive end.

So far this season, Leonard has averaged 18.5 points per game. At first glance, this score is not much, not even 20. But considering that Spurs are an egalitarian team, that score is quite a lot.

But today, Leonard only averaged a third of the points per game.

Link scored less, but Leonard himself couldn't score as a result. After all, it's not the same as before.

So in Leonard's opinion, he didn't succeed in containing Link at all today.

And every second of the time he was on the court with Link, Leonard was worried about one thing - whether that guy would suddenly explode.

In last season's playoffs, Leonard experienced the power of Link's ability to create magic.

There were several games in which the Spurs looked like they were winning at first, but Link was always able to turn the tide and extinguish the Spurs' victory in one fell swoop.

When Link broke through the throw at the last moment, Leonard felt as if he was more nervous than Link who performed the last throw!

Speaking of which, Link's streak of triple-doubles this season began with his first game against the Spurs.

Is that guy really going to let his record end like this?

Leonard was very uneasy and could never be underestimated how dangerous Link was until the game was over.

There was only a 100-second break between the end of regulation time and the start of overtime.

Soon, both teams will have to get back on the pitch and start shopping again.

At the start of extra time, cheers thundered from inside the ATT Center. It seems that everyone thinks that these five minutes will be hell for the Grizzlies.

Leonard has been staring at Link since he came on the court, and it is not difficult to judge from Link's expression that that guy has not lost his fighting spirit!

Leonard couldn't help but swallow, five minutes was enough for Link to do a lot of things.

Taking the last game as an example, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors 20-0 in five minutes.

The starters remained the same, and after the referee's whistle, Duncan fought for the basketball over Gasol's head, who was so tired that he couldn't jump at all.

Scrums in overtime can be more meaningful than scrums in regulation time, where each team serves the same number of shots at the start of each quarter, regardless of who gets the first shot.

But overtime is different, and being able to fight for basketball first means getting a chance to get a first strike.

And because there is no follow-up game, fighting for the ball first also means getting the right to attack one more time.

The Spurs are winning basketball and are gaining momentum. In the first attack of the opening game, the Spurs found Danny. Green.

The wonder scorer is now not content to just save the team, he now wants to kill the game!

But Danny. The moment Green received the basketball, he noticed that Link's face appeared in front of him.

The first change of the Grizzlies in overtime was to let Link, who originally defended Leonard, switch to Green!

Green panicked instantly, and for some reason, Link felt panicked just by standing in front of him.

Link's defensive deterrence makes no more accurate shooter dare to shoot easily.

The picture of Curry being bullied by Link outside the three-point line in the last game has not been forgotten by everyone.

So Green handed the ball to Leonard, but Leonard was destined to not score easily against Butler.

The Spurs once again showed their crazy passing play, but after passing it around, they found that they couldn't pull the gap at all!

"Grizzlies' defense...... It seems that the intensity has increased again! But how is this possible? Shouldn't they be more tired!? The on-site commentator was a little panicked, and the first round of the match was different from what he expected!

Indeed, the Grizzlies, who were still battling with the No. 1 in the West last night, should be more tired than the Spurs right now.

But Link's competitive spirit infected the whole team, and Link's self-reproachful appearance during the break made everyone realize the importance of this victory.

The dignity of the championship does not allow them to fall now!

Eventually, Burreth. Dio had to shoot threes against the defense. Dior may be a reliable vacant projection, but the superstar is much beyond the reach of the French.

Dio's shot was the most out of the box, and the Spurs' first attack came to a bad start!

Link leaped high and scooped up the rebound in the air.

At the moment when both hands hugged the ball tightly, the basketball also made a crisp sound of "pop".

This shows how hard Link grabbed the ball.

He was as hungry as a wolf that had been hungry for three days and three nights.

After landing, Link did not hesitate, as if a car had already burned its tires on the spot and was waiting for the green light to take off.

Leonard was just about to retreat when he spotted Link rushing towards him.

In the process of moving quickly, Link swayed with a beautiful upper body, making Leonard's center of gravity wobbly a little.

Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Link changed direction and accelerated, leaving Leonard behind beautifully!

"Feints in high-speed travel, Link cleans up Leonard! There was a flat horse in front of him, and he left everyone on the Spurs behind! ”

In the frightened shouts of the on-site commentary, Link dunked violently and pulled the basket vigorously with both hands!

When he was just off the court, Link had already decided how he would play in overtime.

Since you can't shoot today, you can't even throw a shot, so you will rush to death!

Use the simplest and most brutal way to hit the basket!

Watching Link's one-stop fast break from grabbing the board to passing to dunking, everyone in the ATT Center was scared.

Link's momentum is completely different from what he expected......

After landing on the ground, Link raised his mouth viciously and pointed to the number behind him at the surrounding stands.

What does that 0 stand for? In the eyes of different people, it represents different things.

But in San Antonio, that 0 only means one thing – death!

The basketball hoop was "creaking" and shaking, and the Grizzlies were already leading the Spurs by 2 points.

Link retreated to his own half and stared at Danny. Green, slapped the floor hard with both hands.

Link is angry and angry with himself, and the consequences are severe.

What Leonard feared turned out to be a reality.
