Before the start of the game, there was no exchange of curses between the two sides. But when the two groups of people really confronted each other, they both revealed murderous spirits.

The referee stood between the Grizzlies and the Warriors with a basketball in hand, and they couldn't help but swallow.

Just in their gaze, the referee felt a deep sense of oppression.

There is little difference between the two teams' starters and during the regular season, with the Warriors still playing Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Pachuria.

The Grizzlies are also still Conley, Wade, Link, Jokic and Gasol.

The two teams can be said to be familiar with each other no more, and they no longer have any secrets from each other.

Whoever wins will simply depend on who can play better.

Amid the noisy shouts of the fans, the referee threw the ball into the air.

The pinnacle showdown in the West has officially begun!

As soon as he came up, Pachulia fought for the Warriors to attack the ball first.

Suddenly, there were violent boos from the scene.

Pachulia has now become almost everyone's shouting existence, after all, it is impossible for fans of any team to agree with such a thing as deliberately injuring the opponent's star and making the game lose suspense.

Pachulia was also distraught, and at one point his social media accounts were paralyzed by too many people spraying him.

Later, Pachulia even had to temporarily close the comment section of her social media account.

During this time, it can be said that Pachulia is the most popular period.

Of course, this negative popularity did not have much practical effect on Pachuria.

The Warriors' first offense was quite patient, and Durant, although he wanted to score, was not in a hurry.

He himself knows that the more anxious he is with Link, the worse he will play.

In the end, Durant relied on his patient movement and received Curry's pass from the right mid-range, and then immediately shot.

Link's blocking was already very active, and if he was defending against other players, it would definitely be a serious disrupt.

However, Durant's height of more than 2.10 meters is placed there. This kind of interference, which is already very tight for others, is not painful for Durant.

Effortlessly, Durant hit a mid-range shot. Durant scored a goal at the beginning of the game, and it can be seen that his desire to score today is very strong.

From the first second, he wanted to suppress Link!

Link shook his head, he was used to playing rockets, and his reaction to blocking mid-range shots had become sluggish.

After four games in the last series, Link basically didn't have to worry about the opponent's mid-range shooting on the defensive end.

The Rockets are just hitting the iron from beyond the three-point line, and they will hardly try to shoot from mid-range.

But the Warriors are different, even though they are also one of the league's most accurate three-point teams. But the Warriors' offense in the middle range is also quite sharp.

Although the Warriors scored first, Grizzlies fans were not worried. It's just two points, and the Grizzlies should be able to fill it up soon!

After Link received a pass from Conley, Gasol's cover was also in place at the right time.

Link decisively opted for a breakaway and he had to keep the score back up.

However, Link had just bypassed the cover set up by Gasol when he discovered that Durant's long arm was already entwined.

Sure enough, with Durant and without Durant, the Warriors' defense is fundamentally different.

The last time the two sides met in the regular season this season, facing Livingston and Klay, the Warriors' defense was killed by Link with a three-in, three-out.

But after Durant returned, Link's resistance on the offensive end obviously improved a lot.

However, Link naturally will not be defended by Durant so easily, in Durant's obstruction, Link still squeezed into the restricted area, looking unstoppable!

At the same time, Draymond. Green makes a layup. He threw his arms up and blocked Link's pass.

At this point, Jokic was in ambush in the bottom corner. And Green's position just blocked the bottom corner.

"Well done!" Cole was better than secretly applauding on the court, and this time the defense was done!

Link has become a turtle in an urn, and there is no way back for him.

Both Green and Durant are ready to stop Link with the roughest confrontation.

Anyway, this is the Western Conference Finals, and the referees can tolerate more fierce collisions.

Link seems to have become a sandwich cookie, squashed by Green and Durant at any moment.

However, just as Link was about to be caught to death, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his hand around Green's waist.

From outside the baseline, pass the ball out!

"What!?" Green turned his head to look at the basketball in surprise, and Link didn't look at Jokic the whole time.

His pass came without warning!

And, passing the ball from outside the baseline, it's really ......

I saw that the basketball trajectory passed by Link was actually an arc, which spun into the court from outside the baseline and fell into Jokic's hands accurately

Green was completely dumbfounded, and now, can't even blocking the passing route stop Link?

It is a common thing to have a "banana ball" in football.

But on the basketball court, such a pass is very rare.

Link was stunned to give the ball away without a passing route.

Jokic was ready for a long time, and the moment he received the basketball, he shot decisively!

If Green pounces out at this time, it can only be a show, and it will not play any substantive role at all.

In a situation where there is no interference at all, Jokic's three-point hollow is in the net!

These days, Jokic is practicing his shooting a lot, just to never miss an opportunity again!

With a three-point shot, the Grizzlies instantly completed the overtake.

"Beautiful passing, sticking the ball out of the line and getting it into Jokic, Link is really bold. Of course, his abilities are also worthy of his guts. ”

"Link is very clever in breaking down the Warriors' excellent defense, and it's definitely a good pass to be selected as one of the top 10 passes in the playoffs this season!"

Mike. Brin and Kevin. Haaland was full of praise for Link, and on the court, Link also high-fived Jokic hard.

Link could see that Jokic was really excited today. The little fat man showed a strong desire to win for a rare time today, and this power must be fully utilized!

Of course, the Warriors weren't discouraged. Although Link's pass just now was very beautiful, one assist did not affect the trend of the whole game.

A follow-up attack, Clay. Thompson misses a shot from beyond the three-point line.

Jokic actively scrambled and after several point-and-click points with Green, he finally got the rebound.

The moment Jokic got the rebound, he immediately threw the ball hard.

Once again, the Grizzlies played their trademark long pass from the center!

However, Durant has been waiting for Jokic to pass this ball for a long time.

The Grizzlies' ability to directly launch a fast break from the center is indeed strong, but it is not impossible to crack.

I saw Durant run to Link, jumped easily at the right time, and intercepted the basketball halfway with a long arm!

This kind of long pass, in fact, only needs to be paid more attention to it, and it can be easily broken.

"Damn it!" Seeing his long pass easily cut off by Durant, Jokic was a little frustrated.

And after breaking the basketball, Durant didn't waste much time, he immediately passed the ball to Curry.

As soon as Jokic grabbed the rebound, Conley had already left Curry's side, ready to run forward and prepare to participate in the offense.

As a result, Curry is now completely unmarked!

And Durant found that opportunity.

Although Durant is a scorer, he also averages around 5 assists per game all year round, and he has always been a player who is good at spotting opportunities and is willing to share the ball.

Curry catches the ball and shoots, this kind of vacant opportunity, let alone outside the three-point line, is directly in the player tunnel to shoot out, Curry is sure!

Sure enough, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Warriors immediately returned a three-point shot from the Grizzlies!

It seems that the "Galaxy Battleship" will not give up the initiative so easily this year.

Jokic hung his head, and he blamed himself. Obviously, everyone has done a good job of defending, but because of his bad passing, everything is lost.

Just then, Link leaned over to Jokic and picked up the basketball and stuffed it into the guy's arms.

Then, Durant saw Jokic bent over and whisper something to Link.

"Damn, what kind of tricks are you playing!" Durant instantly became nervous.

Historically, as long as Link and his teammates have exchanged words, nothing good will happen.

Moreover, there has never been an exception.
