After the third quarter of the game, Grizzlies fans were a little nervous.

This is probably the most dangerous game the Grizzlies have had so far this season in the playoffs before heading into the fourth quarter.

In the previous two rounds, the Grizzlies won in a crushing manner, and several games were even decided at the end of the third quarter.

And in the Western Conference finals against the Warriors, even if the Grizzlies were the only one to lose, they were only passive in a few key rounds at the last moment.

But today, after the third quarter, everyone knew that the Grizzlies were in a bad situation right now, and it was not as simple as the five points on the surface.

Link's fatigue at the end of the third quarter was visible to all. It's hard to imagine what Link will do in the toughest fourth quarter.

If Link loses, Memphis loses!

"LeBron has scored 33 points so far, Link has 30 points. Scoring 30+ points in three quarters in the finals is not something that can be done easily. But unfortunately, we don't know if Link will be able to continue to play efficiently in the next fourth quarter. It's clear that Link's efficiency is slipping along with his fitness. ”

Mike. Brin looked at the data of both sides today, and the two really did their best as soon as they came up, and they played very well from the scene to the data.

But it is destined to be a protracted battle, and it is useless to play well in the first three quarters, and the key is to be able to hold on at the last moment.

And that's the biggest problem for Grizzlies and Link right now.

"He's no longer good, I'm going to keep playing and chase after the victory." On the Cavaliers bench, James rejected David. Blatter offered to give himself a few minutes of rest in the fourth quarter.

"But what if they let Link rest?" Blatter wasn't without consideration, and even for James, it was too difficult to play the entire fourth quarter.

If you don't take a break in the early part of the fourth quarter, is it possible to change it at a critical moment and not be able to rest?

"If Link rests, isn't that a good chance for us to pull away?" James looked up solemnly, as if to remind Blatter, "This matter is not negotiable." ”

Blatter pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Being the head coach of the Cavaliers is not as good as people think.

Here, it is not the head coach who has the most say, but James. But in Europe, this kind of thing will never happen.

In fact, the Cavaliers signed Blatter because they wanted Blatter to bring the rebuilding Cavaliers and young players.

James' addition came after Blatter signed with the Cavaliers. And before that, the knight was actually ready to continue to train the newcomers.

Therefore, Blatter has never been a suitable head coach for James. It was an accident that he was able to coach James and lead the team to the Finals.

Now, he felt as if he had been completely hollowed out. He could only agree to James's proposal, and there was no second option at all.

On the Grizzlies' side, Link said he needed a four-minute break and then disappeared. He had to save his strength to speak at this time, and if he couldn't slow down after four minutes......

That's it!

The game restarted in the fourth quarter, and James waved his arms and prepared to make a big move.

But when he looked up at his opponent, he was completely dumbfounded.

Conley, Butler, Iguodala, Harris, and Egasole......

What about Link!?

"Where's Link?" On the commentary stage, Mike. Brin was also taken aback. He inspected the course several times and found that it was not that he was dazzled, but that he really didn't see Link.

"What's the situation? In the most critical fourth quarter, the Grizzlies didn't let Link play! ”

The entire Federal Express arena became panicked, and the worst fears of Grizzlies fans came true.

Link had to take a break, but no one knows how long it would last. Whether or not it will even come back is unknown. After all, Link is now playing with an injury.

Now that the Cavaliers have a five-point lead, Link is very dangerous for the Grizzlies even if he only rests for a minute, a round.

"Hmph, you can be defeated." James smiled, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He knew that Link wanted to save his stamina and wait until the last minute to come up and harvest the game.

But until then, James promised that he could make the game lose suspense early!

When the time comes, even if Link returns, it won't help.

The game restarted, and James received the basketball as soon as he came up, ready to continue destroying the Grizzlies' defense.

With 33 points in the third quarter, this terrible scoring efficiency has made James very confident now. Even Link can't defend himself, so who else can stand up with the Grizzlies?

James sought a break on the right side of the court, and once his teammates pulled away, he accelerated towards Iguodala in an attempt to buy space for himself.

But to James's surprise, Iguodala didn't take half a step back, and he forcibly carried the impact!

So James changed direction urgently and rushed to the other side. But as soon as he took a step, Iguodala clamped James down again.

"Damn!" James was taken aback, he knew that Iguodala had "confessed" to Link in the Western Conference Finals, and it did make the Warriors suffer, but he really didn't expect Iguodala to be so powerful!

There was no way, James could only rely on Iguodala to force a layup. But under Iguodala's powerful confrontation, James's layup knocked out of the frame, and the Cavaliers' offense failed!

"Didn't go in, Andre. Iguodala, he's once again showing his good form in the Western Conference Finals! That's right, the Grizzlies haven't won a championship yet. Therefore, Andre's promise to protect Link is still valid! ”

Iguodala's defense was like a shot in the arm, allowing the fans at the scene to instantly regain their confidence.

Once again, they shouted as hard as they could, cheering everyone on the field.

yes, the soul of this team is Link. What is Soul? Even if Link is just sitting on the sidelines, his teammates will be inspired to fight!

Although the Grizzlies' offense ended in failure, at least they didn't allow the Cavaliers to continue to widen the difference.

For the Grizzlies now, that's enough.

A follow-up attack, Kelly. Irving took possession and slipped past James' screen.

Irving wants to force Iguodala to switch defenses, so that defending James will become a powerless Conley.

But Iguodala wasn't fooled, he stayed in front of James. Seeing this, Owen immediately stopped and threw a jumper!

But the moment Owen made a move, his vision was completely blocked by Conley's big hand.

Irving didn't know how Conley got out of cover so quickly, he just knew that he had to be forced to shoot with barely visible baskets.

"Boom!"

The basketball slammed out of the box, and the Grizzlies' defense succeeded again!

"Mike. Conley is so aggressive, this kind of defense has to be replaced by someone else, probably give up! But Conley didn't, and he filled the gap with his positivity and hard work. David. Coach Blatter won't be happy now, the clock is ticking, but the Cavaliers can't pull the score away! ”

Blatter is not only unhappy, but simply angry!

He said he wanted James to come down and rest for a while, and now it's okay, Link will rest first.

If the Cavaliers can't pull the score away during this time, then God knows what will happen in this game when Link is rested and playing.

God knows if James, who was extremely tired at that time, could still contain Link!

Thankfully, James quickly widened the gap with a difficult pull-up jumper.

Iguodala admits that he can't completely defend against James. But as long as you can make James play as uncomfortable as possible, then it's a success!

So after being scored by James, Iguodala was not discouraged. He's still alive and ready to put all his strength into defending the next round.

Gasol hooked up and the Grizzlies' offense failed for the third time in a row. The Cavaliers did a really good job defending today, and if Link hadn't scored 30 points in the third quarter, the Cavaliers would have been able to celebrate the victory early.

But the offensive failure didn't affect the Grizzlies' defense, as they didn't seem to be afraid of anything, and nothing could dampen their motivation and morale.

Fresh from a successful goal on Iguodala's head, James became very confident. This time, he leaned directly on Iguodala with his back, wanting to continue to run into the penalty area!

Iguodala withstood every blow from James, and with every blow to his chest, Iguodala felt as if he was about to go into cardiac arrest.

But even so, Iguodala has no intention of retreating!

"What the fuck are the Grizzlies!?" James really didn't expect Iguoda to cause such a big problem on his own, but he still had a way.

James suddenly changed his center of gravity and turned his back to break through.

This trick really worked, and Iguodala, who was too far forward, stumbled a few steps forward in an instant after losing James' support point.

James successfully broke through Iguodala and went to the basket along the baseline!

However, James had just lifted the basketball. Gasol waved his long arms and rushed in without reservation.

With his height advantage, Gasol fanned the basketball away. And he himself, because he pounced too hard and rushed too hard, fell directly into the audience behind the rebound!

This is a sacrificial cap! Gasol didn't care about the consequences, everything was aimed at completing the cap!

"Defend again, Memphis Grizzlies are such a fantastic team! Many people are skeptical about Gasol Jr.'s selection in the best first team this year. But that goal just now is enough to prove his worth! ”

Gasol collapsed in the pile, and the basketball was fanned out of bounds.

The Grizzlies players rushed up at the first time and pulled Gasol up from the crowd.

This excellent cohesion made the fans at the scene applaud.

"Does it hurt?" Iguodala patted Gasol on the shoulder.

It's fake that it doesn't hurt, Gasol has such a large volume and such a big inertia, and he will definitely be worse than everyone else if he falls.

But the Spaniards just waved their hands and "all for victory."

With that, he re-entered the venue.

Everything that happened in the Western Conference Finals is being repeated with the Cavaliers.

For the next four minutes, the footage of the Grizzlies players flipping on their backs never stopped, and even became the norm.

They fought hard for every floor ball, every rebound. Try your best to interfere with every shot, block every opportunity.

Although the scene was very embarrassing, they really limited the speed at which the knights could score.

Moreover, James has further increased his physical wear and tear in this desperate defense.

Finally, when the fourth quarter reached the eighth minute, Dave . Joggle called a timeout, and the Grizzlies players finally heard the coveted whistle.

In these four minutes, they walked alive!

"Nine points, with the Grizzlies players tightly defending, the Cavaliers are now only leading by 9 points! The margin has not yet been widened to double digits, and there is still hope for the defending champions! The Cavaliers will certainly not be happy with this result, they had a chance to finish the game, but they didn't take it! I don't know if Link will play again after this pause! ”

Mike. As soon as Brin finished speaking, he saw Link, who was wearing a training uniform, stand up from the bench and hugged his teammates one by one.

He then took off his training coat and moved his injured arm.

At that moment, the entire Federal Express Arena was boiling. In the stands, the dark blue "ocean" is churning, and the entire stadium seems to be burning.

Everyone believed that what James didn't do, Link wouldn't be relentless.
