980: Defend his glory at all costs
Moon held the latest inspection report in his hand and looked at Link in front of him.
He still regrets it a little, regretting that he had come up with such an idea for Link.
As a doctor, his role should be to help athletes recover and alleviate their pain.
But Moon knew he was pushing Link into hell right now.
'It turned out to be good, your injury didn't worsen. For now, there should be no possibility of further deterioration. Unless, Draymond. Green gives you another elbow in the same position. Moon told Link and Joggle the results of the report.
That is to say...... Will I be able to play today? Link's eyes lit up, he had waited long enough for the news.
Moon nodded reluctantly, then added, "But like I said before, whether you can play or not depends on how tolerant you are of pain. What do you think? Is the pain feeling lessened today? ”
"It's much better than yesterday, of course it still hurts, but at least I can move." Link said, raising his hand.
"You know how much pain you're going to have on the basketball court if you actually play. Are you really going to do that? Link. "Moon knows better than anyone else that Link's situation is not as easy as the smile on his face.
"I know what I'm choosing, Moon. Lose to Green than to the Warriors...... I'd rather suffer like this. ”
Moon shook his head, Link was definitely the most stubborn player he'd ever seen. Are all great stars more or less paranoid?
"Even so, I would advise you not to play for too long. Once the injury gets better, your playing time will gradually increase. After all, you still have a grand finale to play, Link. ”
In the finals, Moon believes that as long as Link can play, the Warriors' victory declaration is a pipe dream!
"Thank you, Moon." Link hugged the chief team medic and walked out of the doctor's office.
Jogger lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke ring. During the playoffs, Jogle's smoking spiked significantly. Obviously, this is his favorite way to decompress. And lately, he's been under a lot of pressure.
After all, this is the threshold of a triple crown. Popovich, Jerry. Sloan, George. Cal...... Which of these famous marshals who shine brightly has experienced three consecutive championships?
Not to mention three consecutive championships, the latter two have not even touched the championship. At this time, Jogger was faced with a situation that none of those famous commanders had ever seen.
Jogger was already under a lot of pressure, and now that Link was still injured, he was even more worried.
"It seems that you won't be able to play for too long today." Joe Gellink, throwing away the cigarette butt.
"yes, I'm afraid I'll have to come off the bench. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can play. Link shrugged, as long as he could still get on the field and fight, he was satisfied.
"Well, today, I'm not going to overload you. I have to give you an account, even if I lose this title, I have to guarantee your health and safety. What is the saying in China? Where there is life, there is hope. I hope you understand me, Link. ”
"Of course, of course...... Let's go back and join the others. They don't know the news here. ”

While Link and Jogel went to get the inspection report, the rest of the Grizzlies were already in the hands of assistant coach Quinn. Snyder led the way into Oracle Arena.
With Link's persistence and Carter's stunner in the last game, the series total score is now 2-1, and the Grizzlies are back in the lead.
If the Grizzlies can make it 3-1 today, the defending champions will have the advantage.
Because if they win today, then there are three games left, and the Grizzlies will have two of them at home.
The Grizzlies only need to win one more of these two home games to advance!
It's up to you to turn the whole series today!
At this time, the Grizzlies players did not know that Link would be available to play today, and all of them were ready to fight to the death.
Even if the outside world is not optimistic about the Grizzlies, even if Kerr has already said that he will win the entire series.
But the rest of the Grizzlies didn't give up on resisting because of this.
Iguodala sat in the locker room with a serious expression. He dressed his gear carefully and asked his teammates about it every now and then.
"Jimmy, how do you feel? Today you will definitely be heavily guarded, so be mentally prepared. ”
"Mike, don't worry. I'll be behind you at all times and let Stephen. Curry, let the horses come. ”
"Don't be nervous Harris, Draymond Green is a reckless man, and there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Iguodala's voice came to the ears of every Grizzlies player, and his calm performance stabilized the entire locker room and stabilized the Grizzlies' morale.
When both Link and Randolph were unavailable, Iguodala took the initiative to shoulder the burden of team leadership.
He knows that now the team needs him to step up. His sense of responsibility does not allow him to back down at this time!
Andre. Iguodala, the former All-Star forward who found his place in Memphis and found his favorite way to play, is ready to wake up from playing dead!
After a while, everyone put on their gear and prepared to warm up early.
Iguodala cheered everyone on, making every Grizzlies player scream and rush out of the locker room.
He was the last to walk out and found that there were already several reporters waiting to interview him in the tunnel.
"Andrey, can I delay you for a few minutes?"
"Of course, ask." Iguodala nodded, he had always been a good gentleman.
"You must be upsetting to lose two of your best players in this game, right?" The reporter was not polite and immediately threw out a sharp question.
Earlier today, the NBA officially announced the All-NBA 14-15 All-NBA roster. In addition to Link, who was named to the All-Round First Team as always, the Grizzlies were named to the All-Round First Team. For the first time in his career, Gasol was part of the best team.
As a result, the Grizzlies have become the only team to have two players named to the All-Match Team at the same time this season.
But now, Link is out indefinitely, and Gasol doesn't have much playing time for tactical reasons. In an instant, the Grizzlies' two best players were out of action.
It's curious to know what the Grizzlies players think about this.
"Of course it's uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean we're going to give up. Our spirit, our champions, will continue to shine on the pitch. Iguodala replied righteously.
"Really? Can Steve. Kerr had already said earlier that he would win the entire series, and they were confident. The absence of Link certainly makes the Grizzlies very passive. Even so, do you think the Grizzlies will be able to emerge victorious? The reporter pressed forward step by step, and he obviously didn't want to let Iguodala go easily.
If Link were interviewed now, he would most likely reply "Cole is farting".
But Iguodala is not like this, he will express his anger in his own way even when he is angry.
"That's right, Link is injured, deliberately injured by a Warriors player! They get the advantage they want, but they'd better not be too confident! ”
'Link is the nicest person I've ever seen, the best player. There are always people who want to do some tricks behind his back, and some people are jealous of his achievements. Now that he's injured, some people feel like they can take advantage of it. No, they were wrong, because I will defend his glory at all costs, both on and off the field! I was born to do this! ”
With that, Iguodala turned and walked towards the court.
The reporter who interviewed Iguodala was completely stunned, Iguodala's "affectionate confession" to Link was a little too sudden.
Defend his honor at all costs...... The lines of such a middle two can generally only be seen in Japanese anime.
But for some reason, this sentence came out of Iguodala's mouth without any sense of disobedience.
Perhaps, it's because he's always played such a role......
Warriors and Steve. Kerr thought they could easily handle the next Warriors, but they didn't know that what they were about to face was a more fierce comeback than the last one!
Just when all the Grizzlies players were preparing to fight to the death without Link, Link and Joggle had already rushed back to the locker room.
There are many more surprises left for the Warriors.
