It's been a while since the Air Canada Centre Arena has been as lively as it is today.

All the fans were cheering and cheering for the Raptors.

They didn't expect the Raptors to take down the Grizzlies who were on a seven-game winning streak, but this unexpected surprise was even more exciting.

Indeed, today's Grizzlies are completely out of shape, and they can't even play 80% of their strength.

It's true that the Grizzlies didn't have star Link today, and Toronto's low temperatures made it difficult for him to move an inch.

But none of that matters, as long as the Raptors can win, it's a real win.

The league isn't going to dismiss the Grizzlies from a lack of star or back-to-back games.

The 18-point advantage in the half made Raptors fans breathe a sigh of relief.

If nothing else, their four-game losing streak will end here. The first place in the East, they will also regain it.

Judging by the current state of the Grizzlies, they simply don't have the ability to reverse the 18-point comeback.

If Link is here, an 18-point comeback might not be an incredible thing.

But with Link not and the Grizzlies still in a slump, Toronto fans believe that 18 points is safe enough for the Raptors.

"It was definitely a surprise game, and no one thought it would be the Grizzlies who were being pressed to the ground right now. However, they have been tired lately, and their back-to-back matches against strong opponents have accelerated their physical wear. ”

The on-site commentator looked at the data of the Grizzlies in the first half, which can only be described as miserable.

Gasol was the only Grizzlies to score in double figures after a half, which is clearly not their true level.

"The Grizzlies might just give up in the second half, it's going to be too difficult for them. Besides, even if they lose this game, they are still number one in the West. ”

The two commentators sang and harmonized, and unanimously concluded that the Grizzlies had no chance of winning.

However, the desire of Link and the Grizzlies is not just the first place in the West......

The first in the west, isn't that the most basic? It's not even seen as a target.

Soon, the second half of the game began, and the players from both sides returned to the pitch.

Before going on the court, DeRozan and Lowry also bumped fists into each other.

They have just decided in the locker room that they are going to completely pull the score away in the third quarter!

Although the Grizzlies are tired today, they still dare not slack off.

Last season's Eastern Conference Finals gave the Raptors a taste of the power of James and the Cavaliers. The Raptors came all the way to the Cavaliers, thinking that they could have a good wrist break with James.

As everyone knows, their result was easily eliminated by the Cavaliers 4-2.

However, a guy as strong as James has never won a series against the Grizzlies once! You can know how terrifying the strength of Link and the Grizzlies is.

Therefore, the Raptors did not dare to slack off at all. Even if they are already leading by 18 points, they will go all out and not give the Grizzlies any chance to come back to life!

However, when the Grizzlies players played, everyone in the Air Canada Center gymnasium froze.

From fans to Raptors players, their eyes widened and their jaws couldn't close.

Because they saw that Link, who didn't play for a second in the first half, actually stepped into the court at this time!

"What!? Link is back!? What's going on!? The on-site commentator was also confused, he had never seen anything like this!

It's not uncommon to play sick, but generally if a player decides to play sick, he will play from the start.

But what about Link? His behavior on the bench in the first half proves that he doesn't actually plan to play today, and the Grizzlies don't seem to have any plans to play him.

Now, however, Link has suddenly changed his mind.

The commentator immediately flipped through the official injury list and found that Link was not among them! That said, from start to finish, Link was not on the injury list.

Theoretically, he could have made a sudden appearance!

"Link actually played in the second half, it's incredible! If Link's fever really got to the point where he couldn't play, then he must be quite reluctant right now! I don't know why Coach Jogel did this, maybe he wanted to gamble with Link? But can a Link with a high fever really help the Grizzlies reverse by 18 points? ”

To be honest, it's not just the on-site commentary that is confused. When Link first proposed in the locker room that he wanted to return to the court, Joggle was confused.

At first, Link told him that he could be replaced if the situation was not right, but Jogger didn't take it too seriously.

As everyone knows, Link is serious!

Joggle certainly knows what it's like to have a fever, playing basketball with a fever, or playing an NBA-level game, this kind of thing Joggel really can't imagine.

Indeed, the example of Jordan and Dirk is still talked about until now. But they are talked about precisely because they have accomplished incredible things!

You can't say that Kobe Bryant has scored 81 points in a single game, it means that everyone can follow suit and can do it.

Link, however, was adamant, stating that he only needed one game to try.

If he can't lead the team to close the score in the third quarter, then obediently sit back on the bench.

But if Link can effectively close the gap in the third quarter, then he will have to go all out to win!

Joggle finally agreed, and he had no choice at all.

If Link was forced on the bench, he would definitely be very worried.

So, he gave Link a chance, a chance to play a game.

As for whether there is a follow-up, it's up to Link to do so.

"Be careful, don't force it, don't let yourself get hurt. Our goal is the championship, remember? Before Link came out, Jogger made a special suggestion.

"Well, I know which is more important, so don't worry. But if I can close the score, you have to keep your promise and don't throw me off the bench. ”

With that, Link turned and stepped onto the court. Just stepping onto the pitch has already reduced the cheers of the audience by half!

There is only one player in the league who can bring this terrible deterrent! He's just like Jordan in the '90s, everyone's nightmare.

Link took a deep breath, he still felt dizzy, and his body was still a little weak.

But just watching the team being slaughtered, Link was even more unwilling.

In any case, this section must narrow the difference!

"Damn, what are you doing!?" Lowry, who was still full of confidence and punched DeRozan just now, saw Link's face change instantly.

"It's okay, he's still having a high fever." DeRozan replied with a blank face, of course he knew how strong Link was. But if Link's high fever is real, then he will undoubtedly lose his strength.

Trailing by 18 points at half-time is not a small margin.

What's more, the Raptors' No. 3 position Demare. Carroll is also a defensive stalwort.

In the 14-15 season, Carroll became famous for her outstanding defense of James in the playoffs.

So in the summer of '15, the Raptors paid a lot of money to sign Carroll, just to deal with James in the playoffs.

Now, it shouldn't be a problem for Carol to deal with a fever Link.

It was in this shocking atmosphere that the Grizzlies started with Carroll pestering Link near the halfway line.

He could clearly feel that Link's confrontation today was soft, not as motivating as before.

Link also instantly felt that Carol seemed to have become James, and it was very difficult to fight against him.

But soon, Jokic's off-ball cover came up.

Link is not the kind of person who only plays on physical fitness!

A tacit off-ball cover allowed Link to shake off Carroll and run to the top of the three-point line to receive Conley's pass.

The moment he received the basketball, Link jumped and shot without hesitation!

Although his head is dizzy, shooting has become Link's muscle memory. Even in the case of fever, he can naturally make the most standard shooting movements.

Carol slapped his horse to arrive, but Link's shot was so fast that he didn't have time to interfere.

However, after throwing the ball, Link was knocked down by Carroll who flew at him.

But just as Link's ass blossomed, he heard the beautiful notes of the Nets tumbling.

"Brush!"

"Three-point shot, Link made a beautiful three-pointer as soon as he came up! God, he can't really turn the game around in such a situation, can he!? ”

Although they still led by 15 points, the Raptors players and fans were in a panic at this time.

Link's three points are still so accurate!

Wade hurriedly walked up to help Link, who smiled reluctantly.

Although the ball went in, I have to say that it was really hard to play the ball with a fever.

But...... He can still score, doesn't he?

Link's confidence has soared and he wants the Grizzlies' seven-game losing streak to stop here?

No, not tonight!
