In the second quarter of the game, Link fought hard to equalize the score, allowing the two sides to return to the same running line.

He didn't take a single shot and led the team to do that.

The Rockets were lucky enough to come across one of the few instances where Link didn't shoot well.

However, it is still unknown whether the Rockets will be able to win on this.

After the score was equalised, the game became anxious.

On the Rocket's side, Luwei was on the side, and the offensive firepower further evolved. On the Grizzlies' side, Link continued to use his other strengths to control the game.

The two sides kept chasing each other until the fourth quarter, during which the two teams kept alternating leads, but the maximum difference was only 7 points.

In the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, Conley made a long shot and smashed into the front of the basket to form a long rebound.

D'Antoni was about to throw his fist and cheer, only to find Link aggressively rushing up and snatching the rebound.

"Another offensive rebound, this is already Link's seventh frontcourt rebound of the game! Seven frontcourt rebounds, incredible! ”

Kevin. Harlan shouted as he shook his head in emotion.

Link is indeed much more motivated to scramble for the ball today than before, and his shooting is not as accurate as the rocket? It doesn't matter, just grab the lost ball.

Link is indeed trying to make up for his lack of shooting today, and by now, Link has blasted a triple-double of 30 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, and the poor hand doesn't seem to have any impact on him.

If it weren't for the Rockets' really accurate shooting from beyond the three-point line today, Link would have embraced the victory long ago.

After winning the offensive rebound, Link immediately ran outside the three-point line, and Ariza didn't stick to it when he saw this.

He's still going to defend Link the way he always did today, both shooting and not bursting.

However, Link didn't hesitate this time.

After running outside the three-point line, he turned around and shot directly, and his shot was very decisive!

Ariza didn't even make a move to interfere with the shot, he just went sideways and stuck the position so as not to let Link grab the offensive rebound again.

In this round, Link really didn't get the rebound. But again, the Houston Rockets didn't catch it.

Because of this decisive three-point shot, he jumped directly into the net, and did not form a rebound at all!

"What!?" Ariza was taken aback, he deliberately let Link shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't expect to shoot it.

"Actually scored, Link made the first three-pointer of the game of the day, and he helped the Grizzlies extend the margin to 5 points! Grab and throw, Link is completely rubbing the rocket by himself! ”

Everyone was stunned, and D'Antoni even felt like a spear piercing his heart.

Link hit such a difficult three-pointer, could it be ......

Could it be that he finally found his touch again!?

D'Antoni was not the only one who had this idea, and Link's three points just now completely disrupted the steady rhythm of the game!

"Link threw it, finally threw it. Believing in that guy's self-regulation ability, he couldn't have played the iron for the whole 48 minutes of the game! "Bill. Simmons said, looking at Link's previous shooting percentage.

0-of-5 from beyond the three-point line......

Well, after investing so much, it's time to get one.

D'Antoni was so frightened that he immediately added a timeout, he didn't know if Link's goal was just scored or if he really got his touch back.

But as long as there is the slightest possibility of danger, D'Antoni must put an end to it!

It's a playoff game, and he can't afford to take any risks.

"If Link gets his touch back at this time, it's going to be too bad for the Rockets."

"Hahaha, so Link is the king of key balls? Even if he can't shoot the whole game, when it comes to the critical moment, he will never drop the chain! ”

Bill. The more Simmons laughed, the happier he became, and Link was the kind of player who became tougher the more anxious the game.

Link may have a bad hand, but you'll never see Link doing nothing at a critical moment!

Link, who was sitting on the bench, looked at his hands and seemed to feel that his shooting felt a little back.

Sure enough, the shooting feel is really mysterious.

So next...... Destroy the rocket in one go!

After returning from the timeout, Lu Wei immediately scored a three-pointer to narrow the gap again.

But the goal did nothing to diminish the cheers in the Federal Express Arena.

In the last five minutes of the game, after entering "Link time", all the efforts of the Rockets will be in vain!

Sure enough, Link immediately responded to Lu Wei.

This time, Link found that Ariza was sticking tighter when defending himself. It is clear that he has not continued to follow the principle of letting go of the cast.

Now, neither he nor D'Antoni are afraid to let Link shoot anymore.

For others, just scoring a goal might just be luck and be able to keep going.

But in the face of Link, the Rockets didn't dare to do that.

Link has scored many goals in his career so far, but only the dribble balloon has scored the least!

Every time he scores, he relies on his strength.

Seeing Ariza sticking so tightly, Link, who was holding the ball close to the three-point line, suddenly paused and made a look like he was going to pull out three points!

Link has pierced the opponent's defense more than once this season with long-range dry three-pointers, so Ariza didn't dare to slack off and immediately swooped down.

This is the time Link was waiting for!

Taking advantage of the moment when Ariza stepped forward to block, Link sped past Ariza's side.

Another feint to worship the Buddha, facing Link, you don't know which of his moves is true and which is fake.

Breaking through Ariza, in the face of Capela's supplementary defense, Link suddenly made a sharp stop in the middle distance, and then made a jumper!

D'Antoni swallowed, Link's confidence seemed to have allowed him to predict the outcome in advance.

Sure enough, in the next second, the basketball went into the net, and Link added two more points by shooting!

With this goal, the Grizzlies also pulled the score away again.

Link's shooting really recovered at a critical moment!

The Rockets must be very sorry now that they didn't take the opportunity to pull away when Link was not feeling good.

And at this point, they don't have a chance.

After that, the last few minutes of the fourth quarter were completely dominated by Link.

A minute after hitting the shot in the emergency stop, Link singled Ariza with his back, came to a handsome and elegant turn and leaned back, and scored in a row!

Two more rounds later, Link received a clever pass from Jokic in the bottom right corner.

He duffled a shot to fly Ariza, who had become overly nervous, and then made an easy jumper.

Basketball is unbiased and falls right into the net!

At this point, Link has hit four consecutive shots in the fourth quarter of the game! In the most critical few minutes, he also gave back to the fans with a performance of 10 points in a row.

"This is Link, this is the power of Link time! In his time, everything can only be at his mercy, and the situation can only be at his mercy! ”

Bill. Simmons is finally happy, and now, he wants to see what else those Houston media have to say!

And Kevin next to him. Harlan is much calmer, and it is still the same sentence, Link's explosive scoring performance is already a common thing.

That guy comes around like this every now and then, Kevin. Harlan is used to it.

So, instead of following the yelling, the composed Harlan found a brand new league record.

With 40 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, Link scored 10 points in a row to record a terrible 40-point triple-double, and this is the third time in his career that he has scored such a statistic in the playoffs. Did you know Bill? This makes Link the player with the most 40-point triple-doubles in the playoffs in NBA history! ”

D'Antoni called a halt to the game again, with 41 seconds left and only one chance each to attack, but the Rockets trailed by nine points......

Today, the Rockets made 49 three-point attempts, hitting 22 of them, a whopping 44% three-point shooting!

22 three-pointers in a single playoff game, which is also the third-most three-point shooting record in the playoffs in league history!

That's already an incredible shooting percentage, considering that the Grizzlies averaged just 26 three-point shots per game in the regular season this season, and only 9 shots per game!

And the Grizzlies' three-point shots and shots are already above the league average.

It can be seen from this that 22 of 49 three-pointers were shot in one game, what an exaggerated statistic!

But such exaggerated three-point data still can't make the Rockets win.

This really discouraged D'Antoni.

After the fight was suspended, Link walked to the commentary stand and bumped punches with the little girl who had been cheering him on.

"Thank you, your cheering is important to me."

"I love you, Link!" After the fist bump, the little girl said shyly.

Link smiled and walked to the bench, leaving only a tall back.

Bill. Simmons looked at the ecstatic little girl, looked at the nine-point difference that was opened at the critical moment, and shook his head.

To have such a leader, Memphis fans are definitely the happiest fans in the world.
