Damien. Lillard got the ball to the three-point line, and his upper body shook quickly in an attempt to fool Conley.

But after all, Conley was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team last season, and being able to be selected to the All-Defensive Second Team without a huge physical advantage is enough to prove Conley's sophistication on the defensive end.

Lillard accelerated to break through, but was stopped by Conley solidly. Off the court, Trail Blazers coach Terry Brown. Stotts stood up nervously, is it all over?

No!

At the moment when Lillard had a physical confrontation with Conley, he quickly turned around with Conley as the axis!

No one knows how Lillard managed to adjust in such a short period of time, or whether Lillard was premeditated or if his killer instinct came into play.

In that instant, Lillard turned and threw Conley away and went straight to the basket!

Terry. Stotts raised his fist in advance, ready to celebrate this beautiful and crucial goal!

At this point, with just 36 seconds left before full-time, the Trail Blazers trailed the Grizzlies by six points on the road.

If Lillard can score that shot, then the Trail Blazers still have a chance. If Lillard's offense fails this time, the Trail Blazers will basically miss the victory.

And whether the Trail Blazers can win today will directly affect the history of the league!

Since entering March to today, March 19, more than half a month has passed, and the Grizzlies have not tasted defeat!

Link once again walked the talk, saying on Hill and Rachel's show that the Grizzlies were going to win all 72 wins and championships, so from March to now, the Grizzlies have played another wave of 10 consecutive wins! After the Cavaliers and Wizards, the Grizzlies have won back-to-back victories over the Nets, Bulls, Bobcats, Pelicans, Raptors, 76ers and Jazz.

And none of these teams can come close to victory, and no team can make the Grizzlies pay. As a result, the Grizzlies became the first team in NBA history to win four times in a single season with 10 consecutive wins.

With a 61-5 record, they proudly waited for the day when the regular season would end.

Finally, on March 19, the first team to make the Grizzlies feel the pressure appeared.

The Portland Trail Blazers played tenaciously in Memphis, and they dragged the game until the end and still didn't give up.

Therefore, Lillard's shot will not only change the situation of this game, but also potentially change the history of the entire league!

The Trail Blazers are one of the teams that can make the Grizzlies lose on their fingers. If they end up losing, the Grizzlies will be more likely to break their 72-win record.

Lillard's layup touched the hearts of countless people. So when he turned past Conley with a beautiful back, countless fans were cheering for the veteran sophomore point guard.

Lillard's breakthrough speed is fast, and although he is not a point guard who relies on his body like Westbrook, it does not mean that Lillard's physical qualities are ordinary.

On the contrary, Lillard's physicality is definitely top in the No. 1 position.

Gasol had just come to his senses and Randolph was pulled to the middle distance by Aldridge. The Grizzlies don't have players defending in the restricted area, and Lillard's layup looks like a must-win!

In the last 30 seconds, if the Trail Blazers can narrow the gap to less than 4 points, then everything still has a chance!

Lillard made a light leap and reached for the ball to the basket. In front of the TV, countless fans were already cheering in advance, excited about Lillard's crucial goal.

Lillard was already wondering if he was going to grab a three-pointer in the next round.

What the Trail Blazers' No. 0 didn't know was that it was too early.

As soon as Lillard threw the ball out, he felt like the top of his head suddenly turned into a black patch. He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, could it be Link following up!?

Impossible! When Lillard had just broken through Conley, Link was clearly still in front of Batum! How could he be so fast!?

Before Lillard could turn his head to look back, Link's body slammed past Lillard. Grizzly Bear 0 raised his long arm high and mercilessly slapped the basketball that had just been picked into the air.

"Boom!"

In the next second, the tempered glass of the rebound made a muffled sound. The basketball that was originally in high-speed motion suddenly came to a standstill, and was pressed to the rebound by Link's big hand.

"Pegboard hat! Link got his third block of the game! Again, another iconic chase! It's over, it's all over, Link's block is over everything! All of Lillard's previous moves were perfect, but in Memphis, you never know the outcome until the last minute. The Trail Blazers didn't have a chance, and Link ruthlessly wiped out all their previous efforts! ”

Hubi. It's not the first time Brown has seen Link put on a chase show, but every time, Link's chase makes him feel like he's getting his adrenaline pumped.

Before Link, James and Josh. Smith is considered the league's two most promising active small forwards. But now when it comes to chasing big risks, the first thing that comes to most fans' minds is Link.

Link didn't get complacent after completing the block, but quickly threw the ball forward with great force.

The camera follows the orange afterimage quickly, only to realize that Iguodala has already run to the front.

It's exciting to complete the chase, but Link is always on the basketball court with a clear head and ready to make the best decisions.

Link's long pass from the backcourt was very accurate, and Iguodala received the ball safely. At this time, the Trail Blazers players had just run past halftime.

Iguodala took two big strides and then jumped straight into the dunk, and he and Link often played this kind of fast-break combination after a long pass in the backcourt, and he was already familiar with all of this.

Terry. Stotts looked at Iguodala as he soared into the air and lowered his fist.

He knew that his team had doubled up again, and Link had finished it.

"Boom!"

Iguodala's hands slammed into the Trail Blazers' heads like watermelons.

In the last 32 seconds, instead of narrowing the gap to 4 points, the Trail Blazers were counterattacked by the Grizzlies and expanded the gap to 8 points!

Link completely ended the suspense with a chase and a long pass from the backcourt that was not very accurate!

Stotts immediately called a timeout, and the Trail Blazers were still struggling. But at this point, everyone knew that the Trail Blazers' struggles were just doing useless work.

Even Lillard, who scored 32 points today, lowered his arrogant head.

The thrill was only momentary, and after the game was suspended, the fans and commentators alike took a deep breath to calm their excitement.

"The game is actually over, and it's hard for the Trail Blazers to come back in the final half-minute. Link's final block and long pass are really pleasing to the eye, are you ready? The Grizzlies are about to embrace their 11th winning streak. "Hubby. Brown looked at the Grizzlies' recent schedule and couldn't believe they were playing so well in March.

Fitness and injury issues didn't bother the Grizzlies, as most of their games were won with ease.

"yes, an incredible record. I guess those who think the Grizzlies can't break their 72-win record must be pretty nervous right now. After this game, the Grizzlies are 62-5! The Trail Blazers are the team most likely to stop the Grizzlies right now, and the results are all visible. They did come close to doing it, but they still hadn't made it past Link. Next, though, the Grizzlies will face a bigger challenge than the Trail Blazers! ”

Hubi. Brown's side, Jeff. Van Gundy excitedly touched his bald head.

The Grizzlies and Trail Blazers game can only be regarded as a warm-up, because after this game, the long-awaited Eastern Conference back-to-back will begin! The Grizzlies will play back-to-back games against the Pacers and the Heat, and this back-to-back is also considered the key to whether the Grizzlies can win 72 games.

In the ideal state of many, it would be difficult for the Grizzlies to break the 72-win record if they lose three straight against the Trail Blazers, Pacers and Heat.

But the Grizzlies showed great determination in their first game against the Trail Blazers today, which undoubtedly made people expect more from the Grizzlies' next two opponents.

The Pacers and Heat are now truly the last line of defense to stop the Grizzlies from breaking their 72-win record.

But judging by Link's performance today, he won't let people get away with it easily.

Just as Van Gundy was fantasizing about how exciting the next two games could be, the electronic beep sounded. 108-102, the Portland Trail Blazers gave it their all and fought until the last minute. But they are still one step away from bringing down the Grizzlies.

Losing one point and losing ten points is not much different in nature. The Trail Blazers' four-game winning streak was broken by a block from Link and a long pass, while the Grizzlies embarked on their back-to-back Eastern Conference journey with a 62-5 record!

After the game, Lillard and Link got a friendly hug.

When Lillard had just turned past Conley with a beautiful turn, he thought it was going to be a night of his own. But then he understood a truth - if you want to win the Grizzlies, you have to look at Link's face.

You defeated Conley, Randolph, Iguodala, Tony. Aaron and the others are useless, and if they want to defeat the Grizzly Bear, they must step over Link's corpse.

And this is precisely the hardest step to defeat the grizzly bear.

"Congratulations Link, you've cut another triple-double, and this is the first time this season?" Although Lillard lost the game, he still congratulated Link because he had a good personal relationship.

"It's a triple-double for the seventh time this season, haha. You scared me out of a cold sweat with that last goal, Damien. Link scratched his head, and today he hit another triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. However, Link prefers a final victory to a triple-double.

If that goal had been chased one step slower, the result would have been uncertain now.

"But I'm still finished by you, aren't I? Come on, Link. May you and your team go well on the rest of your back-to-back journey to the East. Don't bother you to embrace the victory and see you next time. Lillard finished and turned to leave.

But no sooner had he taken than two steps out of the house when Lillard shook his head.

Forget it, it's better not to meet Link.

Seeing off Lillard and the Trail Blazers, Link ushered in excited reporters.

The Trail Blazers lost today, but they also proved that the Grizzlies are not invincible. A difference of 6 points is not an insurmountable gap.

The Trail Blazers failed to get over it, so can the Pacers and Heat get past it?

Reporters asked Link about the question, "Are you mentally prepared for the next two difficult back-to-backs away games?" ”

Link's expression was relaxed, as if he didn't know that his next two opponents were first and second in the East.

"You should ask Bird and George if they're ready for the best team in the league!"

"Big Bird" Bird, who was sleeping at home, suddenly felt his eyes jump violently, and he didn't know who was speaking ill of him.
