"Don't be influenced by them, don't make any excuses! We'll go up and fight, that's all! Don't throw in the towel, because we haven't lost on this field yet! ”

Before Game 6 of the series, Grizzlies players gathered in a circle in the tunnel of players. In the middle, there is a person who shouts before the game to boost morale.

Normally, this kind of thing is mostly done by Randolph. After all, he's the longest-serving NBA player on the team and the most senior. But today, it wasn't Randolph who stood in the middle of the players, it was Link!

As a sophomore, after this playoff tournament, he has become a true leader.

Not just a leader in a tactical role, but also a leader in the hearts of the rest of the Grizzlies!

"One-two-three, Grizzly!"

After saying that, Link walked in the front and led everyone out of the players' tunnel. In an instant, noisy cheers poured into the ears, and on both sides of the players' tunnel, countless fans stretched out their arms. Link raised his hand and high-fived them as he ran.

"Come on, let those little cubs go home crying!"

"I know you can do it, you're invincible at the Federal Express Arena!"

"Tell them what a real man is! Go Link, lead us to victory! ”

Link's ears are no longer full of abuse from Thunder fans, but the anticipation of Grizzlies fans.

The fans here love him and he loves it here. So, he's not going to let this place fall out!

"Except for Yao Ming, there is no Asian player in the league who can have such an impact on a team! Look at the fans in the stands and see who they're cheering for! This is Link's territory, Kevin. There's no way Durant is going to get his wish! ”

Hubi. Brown also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, three consecutive offensive fouls in the last quarter of the last game were indeed a bit excessive.

But as Link said, the more you try to defeat us, the stronger we get! Today, Hubi. Brown believes the Grizzlies will respond!

Durant looked around and gritted his teeth. He doesn't care what the outside world says, and he doesn't care how popular the Grizzlies are in this game. He can't wait, win one more game and he'll reach the finals for the first time in his career!

This time, Durant won't let the opportunity slip away. The Grizzlies have caused him enough trouble, and the scoring champion now just wants to end the game as soon as possible!

At the same time, Dirk, who was on vacation. Nowitzki turned on the TV and prepared to watch the game. Normally, after the vacation, he would like to stay away from basketball. But this year is an exception, and the Germans are very excited about this round of the Western Conference Finals.

Maybe it's because Link has the same qualities as him, or maybe it's because Dirk wants the Grizzlies to make it to the end like they do. Regardless, Dirk is hoping that the Grizzlies will win.

Someone who nearly scraped a layer of skin from the Grizzlies last year, Dirk knew that this gritty team wouldn't be out that quickly.

Even with the help of the referee, they won't give in!

"Today, even country music and blues are not as important as basketball!" Before the start of the game, Hubi. Brown indicated the place of this game in Memphis with one sentence.

In Memphis, the "City of Music," music has always been a cultural icon, with jazz and blues being local favorites.

But tonight, Memphis is all about basketball!

As soon as the game started, the Grizzlies showed their tough side. Randolph knocked Westbrook off the line on a layup and was whistled for a foul.

But Randolph was not annoyed, but instead yelled at Westbrook on the ground viciously, which made the Thunder players furious.

Then, Link grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket and carried Durant away for a second offense.

Link was not silent after the goal, and the image of him yelling at Durant "too soft" left Memphis fans hooked.

The Thunder, of course, are also organizing counterattacks, and the results are not bad. But in terms of momentum, the Grizzlies have always held the initiative.

The turning point came in the fourth quarter, when Perkins brutally pushed Randolph down in a defensive run, but the referee was indifferent.

Don't think this is the Federal Express Arena, and the Grizzlies have the referee to take care of it. The referees are all sent by the league, not from the local area. So for the referee, there is no concept of home at all.

This foul directly caused the Grizzlies to fail to continue the score, and the Thunder took the opportunity to fight back and widened the gap to 5 points!

The audience sighed, followed by boos from the referee. With 1 minute and 30 seconds trailing by 5 points, the Grizzlies are more than lucky.

"This is the end of the grizzly bear's life! As long as they can hold on to this less than a minute, the Thunder will go to the Finals! ”

Hearing the narrator's words, Dirk almost didn't laugh out loud. The vitality of the Grizzlies is tough!

Sure enough, this time the penalty did not bring the grizzlies down, but made them play more resolutely!

After an offense, Link pulled out hard outside the three-point line, and the basketball hollowed into the net, igniting the whole court!

Subsequently, Conley broke Westbrook and assisted Toney. Allen slammed his hands to equalize the score!

Durant wanted to respond, but was prevented by Link from even receiving the ball. finally received the basketball, but was robbed under pressure.

The cheers of the audience continued, and the Grizzlies responded to the Thunder with counterattacks again and again.

They told the world with practical actions what it means to "the more you want to defeat us, the stronger we will be!" ”

In the last 28 seconds of the game, the Thunder trailed by 2 points, and the Grizzlies attacked the ball. The Thunder are only one offense and one defense away from reaching the finals! Defend this time, score the next goal, and they're the champions of the West!

Durant held his breath that he didn't want to be dragged into a tiebreaker. In that case, even if they win, the Thunder will win narrowly! If you are dragged into a tie-break, even if you win, you will not be happy!

From the very beginning, what Durant wanted was a hearty series victory! Now, he only has one chance to prove himself!

Link calmly dribbles from beyond the three-point line, and it's not the first time Grizzlies fans have seen Link handle key shots. In the last 3 seconds of the 24-second offensive time, Link broke through with the ball, but suddenly crossed steps and changed direction.

However, as soon as the change of direction was made, Link stopped.

Durant's eyes widened in despair, and the game was over.

"Kill you!" Link didn't forget to mumble as he made a move. I don't know if I'm talking to myself, or if I'm talking to Durant.

"Cross-step stop-mid-range shot, Link's killer feature!" Accompanied by Hubbi. Brown's shout, the basketball crossed a high arc, and "exploded" into the basket like a mortar.

4 seconds, 5 minutes. Link raised his arms in cheer, and Durant hung his head in pain.

Lost, completely lost.

Even if the Thunder wins, Durant believes that in this round of the series, people will only remember Link......

At the same time, the Thunder, who shouted before the game to beat the Grizzlies 4-0 and 4-1, will definitely be spurned by the fans.

In the case of the superiority of hard power, he was dragged into the tie-break by the opponent's super willpower and cohesion, which was a shame and a shame.

At the end of the game, Link, who had delivered a quasi-lore, stood in the center of the ball and roared. They weren't beaten, they once again shattered the Thunder's dream of reaching the Finals! They held out to the end, exhausting the unbeatable Thunder! Even if the Thunder reach the Finals in the end, the scars left by the Grizzlies on their bodies will be faintly painful!

In the stands, thousands of fans also roared. In addition to Memphis, fans in many other regions are also crazy about Link. Even the German, who had already started his vacation, couldn't help but applaud Link.

If in the regular season, Link was just a second-tier star. Then this round of the series has undoubtedly raised Link's status in the league to another level!

A player who leads the team alone and the Thunder three young people to the end is bound to become the protagonist of this year's playoffs.

Durant left the court with regret amid the cheers of the Memphis fans and did not say a word. Indeed, the Thunder still have a chance, a tie-break, and home-court advantage. Maybe in the end, the Thunder can win.

But Durant, however, has completely lost to Link. And this situation cannot be changed.
