The fourth quarter lasted another few minutes, but it didn't get any better.

The "Splash Brothers" have been completely distracted by the Grizzlies' tough and tight defense today, and they are still playing iron frequently after they reappear.

How bad are Curry and Thompson today? In the middle of the fourth quarter, Curry even missed two free throws.

At the critical moment of chasing points, the Warriors not only failed to shoot three points, but also made several turnovers in a row.

In the end, the Warriors lost 85-98. Their ambitions were brutally stifled at the Federal Express Arena.

In the previous two rounds, the Warriors averaged 108.4 points per game. And today, they didn't even get 90 points.

The Warriors' lowest scoring game this season was 86 against the Clippers on Dec. 25. And today, the Warriors were forced to break their record for the lowest single-game scoring of the season.

Previously, in games where opponents scored no more than 100 points, the Warriors won all 44 games! But today, the Grizzlies crushed the Warriors with 98 points.

These shocking numbers fully reflect the difference between the Grizzlies and other teams.

The Warriors may be able to do whatever they want with other teams, but in Memphis, they don't want to!

After the electronic beep sounded to represent the end of the game, the entire Warriors team hung their heads, which was in stark contrast to their pre-game heroic temperament.

The Warriors players should be frustrated because they didn't have any merit in this game. The comparison of the overall data of the two teams shows that the gap is obvious enough.

However, the comparison of the personal data of the players of the two teams is even more miserable!

By the end of the game, Link's stats had become 33 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks.

Not only did he hit the first 5X5 stats of the playoffs, but he also had a triple-double of 5x5 stats.

At the same time, this is also the first triple-double of this year's playoffs so far!

In the first two rounds, Link's stats have been very ordinary. Aside from the 40 points in a single game against the Pelicans in Game 3 of the first round, there were few bright spots.

But today, Link told you with practical actions. The reason why his first two rounds were mediocre was not because he was not strong, but because he didn't have to work so hard to win the match.

When he needs to come up with beautiful data, he can do it at any time!

And the previous remarks about the data attack on Link are also self-defeating.

Because today, the Warriors don't have any stats that can compare to Link.

Stephen. Curry only had 19 points, six rebounds and three assists today, and on top of that, he shot just 36.8 percent from the field and made just 2 of 11 three-pointers. That's right, except for the three-pointer that hit Conley's head at the beginning, Curry has only scored one three-pointer since then!

His performance like this is really hardly excellent.

In the first two rounds of the series, Curry's stats were much more flashy than Link's. But today, the world understands why Curry can only finish second in the MVP selection.

In this head-to-head match, Curry was completely defeated.

Klay, another offensive core of the Warriors. Thompson scored just 13 points today, and he shot 1-of-6 from beyond the three-point line. Aaron sealed it tightly.

As for Draymond. Green...... That's another sad story.

Green had 14 points and 12 rebounds today, which seemed pretty good at first glance.

But of those 14 points, Green scored a full 8 points from the free throw! In the athletic battle, Green made 11 shots today, but only made two goals. With a shooting percentage of 27.3 percent, he ranks lowest among all players who have played more than 30 minutes.

It can be said that the data of Curry, Thompson and Green today are not as amazing as Link.

Before the game, Curry yelled that he didn't want to lose again, and Green yelled that he wanted Link to try the Warriors' defensive intensity.

Today, however, they both overturned.

At the end of the game, the Memphis Grizzlies took the lead and turned the series total to 1-0. Link is undoubtedly the biggest star of the day, and he's on full display of his MVP-level prowess. Of course, the rest of the Grizzlies weren't bad either, and their tenacious style certainly impressed the Warriors. ”

"That's right, I don't think the Warriors guys are going to be that confident anymore. The Memphis Grizzlies are not the Dallas Mavericks, nor are they the Houston Rockets. They're the defending champions! The Warriors really experienced it today,"

Mike. Brin and Hubbie. Both Browns are full of praise for the Grizzlies, who, as the defending champions, have shown the Warriors what a true championship level is.

The Warriors have always wanted to upend this league and break the Grizzlies' rule.

But in fact, they never fought a grizzly bear with all their firepower.

Today, Link gave the Warriors their first glimpse of how the Grizzlies play the playoffs.

On the sidelines, Stephen. A. Smith found Link in a good mood. In fact, he has always been one of Link's supporters. In his usual shows, he has expressed his love and respect for Link more than once.

Now that Link had won in such a perfect way, he was naturally very happy.

"Congratulations, Link, for becoming the first player in NBA playoff history to score 5X5 stats! How does it feel? You must be very happy right now, right? ”

"Of course, I think after today, my ears will be quiet. Seriously, I'm just fed up with Green and Bogut's no-level trash talk. Link didn't shy away from taking Green and Bogut at him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gasol walked up behind Link with two paper cups and poured all the water on Link's head.

It's the Grizzlies' hardcore way of celebrating.

Link didn't dodge, just lowered his head slightly, still smiling on his face.

"Well today you have to experience Draymond. Is Green talking about tough defense? "Stephen. A. Smith isn't an honest guy either, and deliberately asked questions that would embarrass the Warriors.

"Is there one? Did you see a tough defense today? I repeatedly snatched the basketball from Green and Bogut, and they were as weak as if they hadn't had enough to eat. But I'm used to it, and Green and Bogut have always been just talking. They said they were going to stop me from getting pretty numbers, and I broke the playoff record...... Well, maybe that's what they call tough defense. ”

Link showed no mercy at all and attacked Green and Bogut fiercely.

In the post-game press conference, people were expecting Green and Bogut to fight back against Link. But in the end, it was found that the two brothers did not show up directly......

This time, Green and Bogut were finally quiet.

At the press conference, only Steve. Cole, the good old man, is saying things that don't matter.

"The Grizzlies deserved to win this game, and they controlled the tempo of the game the entire time. They kicked our ass and we wanted the game to fall into our rhythm but it was clearly not what we wanted and we have to learn something from this game. ”

"There were some weird whistles in the game, but that's not why we lost, we even missed a lot of easy layups."

'Link was doing so well and we couldn't stop him at all. There is no doubt that he is a great player. It's really very difficult to snatch the victory away from him. ”

Cole's tone of "admitting defeat" naturally failed to arouse the slightest interest of reporters. The press conference ended abruptly, and it looked as if the Warriors had raised the white flag ahead of time.

When the reporters were all gone, Cole stuck one hand in his hair and one hand silently clenched into his fist.

Of course, he will not admit defeat, what he says and what he thinks in his heart are not completely consistent.

Kerr wants to win, just like his players. Today's game has proven that if you play in the usual way, the Warriors have no chance of winning!

Cole took a deep breath and stood up.

It seems that he must execute his long-planned comeback plan in advance......
