The throats of the fans at the scene were already hoarse, and the two sides had been going toe-to-toe from the first second of the game. From the first second, straight into the climax until now.

Leonard's successful one-defense and Link's beautiful blocking dunk completely kicked off the mutual torture between the two sides.

At this point, the game had reached the final quarter, and there were just over a minute left in the game.

And the scores of both sides are still hovering in seventy or eighty.

The Spurs scored 79 points and the Grizzlies scored 82. What is certain is that neither side can score 100 today.

That's pretty incredible for two teams that rank in the top three in the league in offensive efficiency. Now, it is rare to see a game in which the score is around 80 after the two sides have played the whole game.

But for the two teams with the best defense, such a score seems to make sense again.

Today, both sides put a lot of effort into defending rather than attacking.

The mutual staggering between Link and Leonard set the tone for this match. Their defense has led to the teammates around them.

So in the previous three quarters of the game, the two sides played a formidable defensive battle.

Both teams didn't shoot well, and on the Spurs side, Aldridge shot just 4 of 19 shots, shooting just 21.1%.

Throughout Aldridge's entire career, he's rarely hit that kind of shot.

Danny. Green's 41.7 percent shooting percentage isn't good, either. With one more shot conceded, his shooting percentage would drop below 40 percent.

Dwayne. Desmond shot just 33 percent from the field, and Jonathan, a very important player on the Spurs bench. Simmons, with a shooting percentage of only 25 percent.

As a team offense-oriented team, the Spurs' overall shooting percentage of 36.6% today is incredible.

You know, the Spurs, who played team basketball to the extreme a few years ago, had an exaggerated performance with a single-game shooting rate of up to 60%.

But today, under the strict defense of the Grizzlies all, they also lost their marks.

Of course, the grizzlies aren't much better.

Gasol, who has always been efficient, made just 4 of 12 shots today, shooting 33 percent. Conley's shooting percentage was even limited to 30%.

Wade was outstanding on the defensive end today, putting Danny Brown. Green was bitten hard. But on the offensive end, he also played very worriedly. With a shooting rate of only 10%, he became the most iron-clad boy in the game.

The Grizzlies shoot slightly better overall than the Spurs, but the 38.5 percent number isn't much better.

Of the two teams, only Leonard and Link had a slightly more reliable shooting percentage, with the former at 42.1 per cent and the latter at 43.3 per cent.

However, there is no doubt that their hit percentages are below average.

Leonard's average shooting rate this season is as high as 50.5%, and Link has reached a perverted 53.7%!

Compared to their average shooting percentage, the efficiency of the two today is also greatly reduced.

Today, no one on either team was on target, and they were all on each other's defensive ends.

Leonard has only scored 18 points so far, and Link has only 21 points.

This kind of low-scoring, low-hitting game, if you play two teams, it will definitely make the fans sleepy.

But today, this game is not only hot, but also the ratings.

In this era when the whole world is shooting three-pointers and making fouls, suddenly seeing a tough and bloody defensive battle has given fans a new feeling.

Moreover, the low shooting percentage in this game is not because the offense of both sides is not good, but because the defense of both teams is too good.

So, it doesn't look boring at all.

At this time, the game undoubtedly came to its most tense moment.

Spurs are only three points down but there is not much time left in the game. In other words, every attack and defense from now on will have a huge impact on the most outcome.

Popovich shouted nervously from the sidelines, and while he wasn't chasing a 70-win regular-season game, he was naturally very hopeful that the Spurs could win this crucial game.

If they win this game, the gloom of their seven-tie defeat last season will also be swept away.

But if they lose today, the Grizzlies will continue to cast a shadow over every Spurs player.

After Parker came up with the ball, the Spurs continued to play their complex team offense.

Link followed closely behind Leonard, although today until now, Link has not let Leonard open completely. But in the last few minutes, he still didn't dare to slack off.

Leonard went to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and Link chased after him.

But at this point, Dwayne. Dedmon suddenly turned sideways, blocking Link's way.

"I'm annoyed!" Link couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Spurs' off-ball coverage was even more annoying than the Warriors' off-ball coverage.

For the whole game today, he seemed to have been shuttling between covers.

Link flashed sideways, ready to pass past Dedmund and head straight for Leonard, as he had done countless times before.

But this time, when Link was sideways and ready to get around the cover, he felt like he was tripping under his feet!

Link looked down and saw that Dedmon had deliberately moved his left leg forward a little stealthily, causing Link to trip.

But because this action is so subtle, the referee can't even notice it.

Dedmon has also been a player in the NBA for four seasons, and in four seasons, he has changed teams, and God knows how much he learned from how many people.

Stumbling upon Dedmon's move, Link fell to the ground with an unsteady center of gravity.

Leonard took the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot, and in his memory, it was the first time he had such an easy shot today.

"Brush!"

Basketball is impartial, hollow into the net! Leonard hit a three-pointer, and he closed the three-point deficit with just one shot!

"Move cover, keep your eyes open!" Link got up and immediately complained to the referee.

However, Dedmon's movements are so small that it is difficult to see the catty even through the video playback.

And even if it is seen, it is impossible for the referee to change the verdict.

In order to maintain authority, it is impossible for the referee to question his decision.

In any case, Leonard's 3 points, the Grizzlies have to swallow.

Link shook his hand very reluctantly, the score was levelized, and the two sides returned to the same running line in the final moments.

If the Grizzlies face other opponents today, there's nothing to worry about just being pulled up in the final moments.

It's easier said than done to score against the Spurs.

So far in the whole game, Link and Leonard have a slight advantage.

He didn't want his advantage to be reversed at the last minute.

In the ensuing attack, Link shouldered the heavy responsibility.

It is only up to him to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

The Grizzlies didn't have any outstanding offensive efficiency today, and in the final minute or so, it was natural that Link himself would have to take over the game.

After Link held the ball, the expressionless Leonard immediately posted it.

Today, the "facial paralyzed guy" is more clingy than Rachel.

Link guarded the ball with both hands and made a couple of triple threat moves.

Leonard adjusted his center of gravity with Link's pace, but no matter how his center of gravity moved, he was able to stabilize it in time and not give Link a chance to shake off space.

Link did feel a little tricky, but he still had a way.

I saw that Link suddenly leaned on Leonard and forcibly killed him, and Leonard's body was not a problem carrying Link, so Link did not easily enter the penalty area.

Just when everyone thought that Leonard would successfully complete the defense, Link suddenly collected the ball with both hands, and then made a tough turn with Leonard as the axis, allowing him to successfully walk to the basket!

Link's turn is not only skillful, but also physical.

He forcibly separated Leonard behind him with his back, which is a perfect combination of strength and skill.

Past Leonard, Link deliberately dangled a shot under the basket!

Leonard was deceived, and even he couldn't have made the right judgment every time.

After seeing Leonard shaken up, Link was ready to jump on the spot for a layup, which was a fairly easy two-pointer.

But Link had just jumped up and lifted the ball when the basketball was pressed to the rebound with a "boom"!

Link knew it must be Leonard, but he was still surprised, wasn't that guy just shaken up!?

"Kawaii. Leonard returned a block to Link, and he used his extremely fast secondary bounce ability and slender arms to quickly jump up and complete the block after being shaken to the ground! This ball is very similar to the first quarter of the game when Link completed the blocking dunk after being shaken away! ”

Hubi. Brin's voice trembled.

What two monsters!

Link and Leonard defended several times today, all of which were unbelievable.

With 59 seconds left in the game, Leonard made a block to give the Spurs the advantage.

Link didn't have too much chagrin, and if Leonard didn't have this ability, the Grizzlies wouldn't have to fight the Spurs to this point.

Now, Link has to figure out how to get Leonard's defense in the crucial 59 seconds.

In the last 59 seconds, Link couldn't afford to be taken again.

Dealing with Leonard's extremely terrible defense may also require some extreme solutions.

Link looked at the basket, and countless images began to come to his mind.
