942: 1 minute and 9 minutes, the first draw (fourth shift)

"Link has worked hard enough, but alas, they are a little bit behind."

"The Grizzlies really worked hard, they showed the spirit of the defending champions. But in Clay. With Thompson's miraculous play, no one was immune. ”

"Link is undoubtedly a great player and his greatness needs not be overstated. But no matter how great a player is, there are times when they are defeated, and today, Link can only admit it. ”

Almost everyone is lamenting the Grizzlies' loss.

Kobe Bryant was so tired of these voices that he couldn't figure out what to regret about it.

If you lose, you lose, and no matter how sorry you are, you can't change the outcome.

What's more, the Grizzlies haven't lost yet.

Who can guarantee that the Grizzlies' efforts will be in vain?

Bryant himself has changed the outcome of a game in the final minute more than once, and he never thinks that a nine-point deficit in the last minute is an irreversible gap.

What's more, there is still a great 35.13 minutes in NBA history. In front of the "Maddie moment", 1 minute and 9 minutes sounds less scary in an instant.

Some people will definitely say that 35.13 seconds is a miracle that only a superstar like Maddie can create.

But Bryant doesn't think that Link's ability to create miracles is worse than Maddie's.

Coming back from a timeout, the Grizzlies attacked for the first time.

Link gave the ball out early just after half-time this time.

He gave the ball to Butler and set up a screen for Butler.

Seeing that Link didn't attack on his own, Mark. Jackson was another analysis.

"It's no secret that Link's finishing efficiency at key moments dropped significantly in late March and April compared to before. The most typical is the Grizzlies vs. Cavaliers game at the end of last month, and if Link can play normally in the final critical moment, the Grizzlies probably won't lose. ”

Now, Link has chosen to give the ball to Butler..... I think it's very likely that this is a portrayal of his lack of self-confidence at a critical moment. ”

Sounds like Mark. Jackson's analysis seems to be reasonable.

But as soon as the guy finished speaking, Butler broke through and sent the ball back to Link.

It's not that Link doesn't have confidence, but he wants to catch the ball and shoot!

Borrowing Gasol's off-ball screen, Link got a shot on the right side from beyond the three-point line.

He didn't hesitate after receiving the basketball and shot directly!

But Draymond. Green wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, and he took two big strides up and reached out to seal it in front of Link's eyes.

By any measure, this is a serious distraction!

Link did change his shooting stance due to interference, he shot early, and was forced to turn up the arc.

Seeing that Link's shooting movements were all deformed, Warriors fans raised their arms in advance.

It's impossible to score a goal if you're interfered with like this. And if this goal is not scored, the grizzly bear will basically be sentenced to death!

But Link was not annoyed or disappointed when he landed. He just kept his shot and kept his eyes fixed on the basketball.

The ball was indeed interfered with, and he was indeed forced to adjust the shooting arc and change the shooting action.

But so what?

So, amid the raised arms and cheers of the Warriors fans, Link's basketball shot hollowed into the net!

He's pretty much on top of Draymond. Green's defense, hit this crucial three-pointer!

"The ball actually went in!? He shot the ball in against Green's defense! "Mark. Jackson helped his glasses, for fear that he had seen it wrong!

A second ago, he was still saying that Link did not perform well at critical moments and was not confident enough.

As a result, Link scored a second later, and Mark Brown. Jackson was undoubtedly slapped in the face.

Green's eyes widened as well, and his defense was perfect for this ball. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the opponent to throw the ball in.

But for Link, especially Link at a critical moment, it can't be measured by normal standards.

If Link's usual ability rating can reach 99, then his ability rating at critical moments is ...... Well, I can't calculate it at all!

"It's okay, control the pace and stall for time. Don't panic, we're still in the ascendancy! ”

In the end, it was Steve. Kerr's big man on the sidelines brought the Warriors players back to their senses.

Just now, after Thompson hit a key three-pointer, Kerr's heart finally let go.

But it didn't take long for him to put it down, and he became worried again.

Regardless, Kerr had to push his players to hold on to the win. He didn't want to see the warriors punished for their mistakes.

Soon, Curry approached the Grizzlies half unhurriedly, just as Kerr had arranged.

The last thing they need for the Warriors right now is time. As long as time runs out, they will be considered victorious.

Curry has been grinding from beyond the three-point line, but with Link leading the way, the Grizzlies aren't in a hurry.

Link just stuck in front of Curry, took the distance, and didn't rush to grab it.

With just eight seconds left in the 24-second offensive game, Thompson pocketed to the left side of the three-point line and Curry prepared to pass the ball.

Link saw Curry's eyes and saw him raise his hands. Combined with his knowledge of the Warriors, Link knew that he was going to pass the ball!

So, an unbelievable scene happened.

The moment Curry passed the ball, Link raised his arms and jumped to the side like a goalkeeper on the football field!

Link's body crossed in the air, fully spread. He struggled to stretch his body and straighten his long arms. In the air, it seems to weave a huge net!

Curry was stupid, after playing basketball for so many years, it was the first time he had seen such a steal!

In the end, the basketball was successfully "saved" by the "door god" Link. He forced Curry's pass to Thompson and intercepted it halfway!

"This ...... What kind of steal is this!? "Mark. Jackson was completely dumbfounded.

Also dumbfounded, there were 20,000 fans in the audience and Steve on the bench. Cole.

Another mistake, another mistake by the Warriors. And again, it was someone else's mistake for Thompson's pass.

Cole instantly felt his heart beating frantically faster, and one after another mistakes were punishing the Warriors!

Link fell to the ground along with the basketball, and despite the pain all over his body, he handed the ball to Iguodala as soon as possible.

Then, Link got up and immediately participated in the fast attack.

Iguodala stepped forward to go straight to the basket, but as soon as he jumped, Green rushed up and interfered with Iguodala's shot.

Under Green's strong defense, Iguodala's layup hit the side edge of the basket and missed the fast break!

The Warriors fans cheered again, and the game was always full of scares and surprises.

But just when everyone thought the Grizzlies were losing their offense, Butler rushed to the basketball like a vicious dog and slapped the basketball into the bottom corner.

That's when people realized that Link was already in position in the chaos, and he was waiting for basketball in the bottom left corner!

Thompson and Green both lunged on Link, but Link made the shot before they could interfere.

Under the desperate eyes of Green and Thompson, Link's three-pointer went into the net again!

With two consecutive three-point hits, Link scored 6 points in a row! At the end of the game, the difference was reduced to just 3 points!

At this point, both Kerr and Joggle had only one timeout left in their hands. Cole didn't dare to mess around, he had to save this last pause just in case.

And this also means that when the Warriors face another crisis, they can't relieve the tension by timeout, and can only survive on their own!

The Warriors served again, and this time, the Grizzlies simply pressed the defense with a full-court press.

Although Curry received the basketball smoothly, he was forced by Link to not get past half court.

Of course, Curry's dribbling skills have nothing to say, but in the face of huge disparities in physical confrontation ability, any skill is in vain!

All the Warriors fans covered their mouths in disbelief. Stephen. Curry, who was actually defended by Link and couldn't get past half the court!

In desperation, Curry had no choice but to pass the ball directly to Thompson without crossing the halfway line.

Next to Thompson, Jimmy. Butler has waited too long for this opportunity. He jerked up his speed and squeezed roughly past Thompson.

Today, he gave Thompson 49 points, and he put the Grizzlies in trouble again and again.

He doesn't want to be a burden, he also wants to contribute to the victory!

Now, it's time.

Thompson was directly knocked away by Butler from behind, and Butler stretched out his arm and stabbed lightly, destroying the pass!

"No, no!" Cole is covered in goosebumps, 1 minute and 9 minutes, can the Grizzlies really do it!?

"Jimmy. Butler has done a good job, Jimmy. Butler meritorious service! Go on, boy, go on! "On the Grizzlies bench, Quinn. Snyder and Dave. Jogger shouted excitedly.

Butler didn't take credit, and after the steal, he quickly handed the ball to Link.

Now, the Grizzlies must score another three points to guarantee a chance to win. And in this situation, no one is more sure than Link!

As soon as Link got the basketball, Green chased after him.

The Warriors' reaction was quick, and the moment Curry mispassed, everyone immediately returned to defense.

I have to say that the defensive quality of the Warriors is really high.

Link saw Green blocked, so he stepped back to the outside of the three-point line, ready to shoot.

Green leaped to his feet, and he didn't mind killing the Grizzlies' last hope with a block.

But Green had just jumped up when Link sped up and broke through beside him!

Another realistic feint to worship the Buddha!

"Link has broken through, and his worship feints have played countless defenders! This time, it was Green's turn. Can he succeed or not? The Warriors must stop Link! ”

Link burst into the box and Bogut was quick to make up for it. Fight hard with Bogut? Not a good choice.

If the foul doesn't work, it's a wasted opportunity.

So, Link suddenly stopped in front of Bogut and then raised the basketball high!

Bogut pounced, but Link didn't jump. Like just Huang Green, this is also a shooting feint!

Link captures the recklessness of Green and Bogut and successfully tricks the two!

Now, Bogut can't hide even if he wants to. He's so big, and the inertia is so big.

Link bumped into the "out-of-control" Bogut and then shot from close range.

A shrill whistle pierced the air in Oracle Arena as the basketball hit the net!

Link was brought down directly by Bogut, but he rolled back and stood up directly.

Link then gestured to the silent stands with a "0".

2+1, the next free throws Link made sure he wouldn't miss. From 21 to 14, from 14 to 0, Link did it!

Bryant stood up for the first time in the game and applauded.

What did he say? It's a Link!

Link equalized in the final 26 seconds of the game, scoring nine straight points to help the Grizzlies tie the game for the first time. The Warriors' 21-point advantage is now all in vain! "Mark. Jackson suddenly collapsed in his chair like a deflated ball.

Now, the entire Oracle Arena is enveloped in an atmosphere of death.
