With 59 seconds left in the game, Popovich called a timeout.

The footage of Link being hatted by Leonard was also replayed on the big screen.

It's undoubtedly a legendary defensive duel, but in a situation like this, you have to score goals to win the game.

"Damn, you can get that kind of ball just now, what a pervert!"

After returning to the bench, Wade first complained about Leonard's block just now. That terrible secondary bounce ability, Wade estimated that even in his prime, he might not be able to do it.

"Link's dunk in the first quarter is even more perverted, neither of them is a good person." Randolph, who hadn't played much today, shook his head.

He estimated that with today's defensive intensity, even if he played, he wouldn't be able to help much.

"yes, yes, it's good that the two of you are facing each other today. Just this defense, who can stand it if you change to someone else. Conley also shook his head and sighed, there was a time today when Leonard was misplaced in front of him.

In the end, Leonard was stunned and cut the ball away from Conley.

Link was silent, still wondering how to deal with Leonard.

If even shaking him up doesn't work, then no other normal method will work.

Joggle doesn't have a good idea right now, and he knows very well that the tactics he has laid out may not be executed under the terrible defense of the Spurs.

To put it bluntly, the outcome of this game is now in the hands of Link and Leonard.

Whichever of them can beat each other first, which team will emerge victorious.

The game was quickly restarted, with both sides choosing their starting line-ups in the final moments.

The Spurs were very cautious in their attack, and they had to take advantage of their chances to take the initiative.

Even if it's just a two-point advantage.

But even in the last minute of the worst of all, the Grizzlies' defense didn't drop the chain.

Popovich's passing strategy didn't work, and the Spurs' patience still couldn't tear a small gap in the Grizzlies' defense.

In the end, Leonard had to force a back-to-back jumper against Lincoln's defense.

Under Link's direct face-sealing defense, Leonard hit the iron again.

"Hey, it seems that the game is still not out of the rhythm of the defensive battle. Leonard took one of Link's faces, and Link interfered with him another. If they continue to play like this, it is estimated that the game will be dragged into extra time. ”

Hubi. Brin shook his head, at this moment, the two sides can't solve the problem by defense alone.

Now, it's not just defensive prowess that will test Link and Leonard.

And their ability to score goals in desperate situations!

"Damn, aren't you tired? You didn't even leave me for an easy round today. Approaching Leonard with the ball again, Link couldn't help but turn on the mouth cannon mode.

Leonard still hasn't responded, and sometimes you really have to wonder if he's a robot or not.

Link wanted to use trash talk to distract Leonard, but the trick didn't work for Leonard.

In fact, after thinking about it just now, Link already had a way to deal with Leonard in his head.

Although that idea is very dangerous, it can only be taken in a desperate way.

However, Link wanted to save that method for the end, so this attack, Link just borrowed the cover and immediately shot, and the offensive method was very ordinary.

Leonard, as always, quickly got rid of the cover and wrapped around Link, but unlike the Spurs' offense just now, Leonard couldn't shoot the ball in the interference, but Link did!

A shot that wasn't an opportunity but converted into a score allowed the Grizzlies to regain the initiative.

"Good shot, it's a big shot in the real way. It must be admitted that Leonard's defense can play 100 points and he has no problems. But Link's offense was 101 points. ”

Leonard gasped, visibly unwilling. He's defended like that, and Link can still shoot.

In the current situation, the difference of 2 points can be overwhelming.

He knew he had to score. No matter how good Link is defensively, the next round will be his last chance.

This time, Leonard simply pulled away from the singles, eliminating those complicated but ineffective tactics.

All the Spurs players on the court were stunned at first, but quickly did so.

In normal times, Popovich would have started yelling.

But today, he acquiesced in Leonard's actions. Now, the only games that can be solved are him and Link!

Leonard alternated his hands on the dribble, and Link deliberately took a step forward, as if to make a steal.

Naturally, Leonard wouldn't let Link get his way, he hurriedly changed direction to avoid the steal, and then prepared to break through.

Link actually stepped forward to steal so frizzily, this is simply giving away points!

But when Leonard changed direction and was about to accelerate, he found that Link's other hand was already waiting in his dribble lane.

Link wasn't frizzy just now, but deliberately lured Leonard to break through to the right!

"This time, you've finally been fooled."

As soon as Link's words fell, he reached out his arm and cut the ball off Leonard's hand!

"There have been a lot of good defendings on both sides today, but now this steal is likely to be the most important of all those defenses!"

Leonard couldn't believe that Link could actually interrupt the ball directly from his own hand, and deliberately used a fake steal to lure the opponent to break through, which was really bold! Everyone is doing feints on the offensive end, Link is good, and the feints are all on the defensive end.

But as a brilliant basketball player, Leonard subconsciously grabbed Link's jersey despite being hit.

This is the only chance that can stop Link from going down easily.

"Leonard deliberately fouled, but this time the Spurs were also full of fouls after that. The next time something like this happens, Leonard won't have that chance again. If he fouls again, Link will go to the free throw line. ”

Hubi. Brown said, looking at the game time.

Now, there are only 26.8 seconds left until the end of the race. As long as Link can score this goal, he can completely seal the win!

Spurs, is there really a chance?

Leonard deliberately dragged the Grizzlies into a positional battle, hoping to make a last-ditch effort with this defense.

As long as they can defend it, the Spurs have 2.8 seconds left to make their final shot. Therefore, Spurs cannot afford to foul. In any case, it must be toughened.

Joggle called a timeout to lay out the final attack, and Link told everyone about the plan he had just come up with.

Everyone was taken aback, but Link was very calm.

"I'll have to try anyway."

After the game restarted, everyone on the scene didn't even dare to come out. They were afraid that if they made a move, it would affect the Grizzlies players to execute the offense.

Leonard was a little nervous, and it was the first time he'd felt nervous in the whole game so far.

Link had just scored a goal under his defence, which made him very uneasy.

So when he sent the sideline ball, Leonard stuck to Link.

But in the end, it wasn't Link, it was Conley.

After getting the basketball, the Grizzlies naturally didn't rush to attack, allowing Conley to stall outside the three-point line.

Leonard was tense, he had been fighting with Link for so long, he didn't want to lose in the last round!

It's not just this game, to be exact, since last season's loss in the tiebreaker, Leonard wants to win Link once.

He didn't want this nightmare to continue to haunt him.

When there are only 8 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, Link starts to kick in!

Jokic set up an off-ball screen for Link, and Link cut in empty-handed!

As Link cut inside along the baseline, Conley also passed the ball for the first time.

The timing of this ball is not bad, and if it is fast, the ball will fly directly out of the baseline.

Slow, the basketball is in Leonard's pocket.

Thankfully, Conley was able to complete the passing task successfully. He's always been Link's old partner, and he's a proper master when it comes to feeding Link.

Watching the basketball graze his fingertips and fall into Link's arms, Leonard gritted his teeth. Now, the only chance is a duel in the air later!

He had to finish the cap, or everything he did today would have come to naught!

Link took a step to find his rhythm after receiving the basketball, and then immediately jumped to the basket.

"It's impossible for you to score!" Leonard roared, jumped up, and reached out to block.

It was the first time Link had heard Leonard speak during the game today.

His roar came from the heart.

Leonard's jump was timed very accurately, and he saw that his hand was about to touch the basketball. If nothing else, this will be another pegboard hat, just like he did to Link a few turns ago!

But just as the seal was about to be completed, Leonard saw the unbelievable.

I saw Link raise the basketball in the air with a slight shake of his right wrist and send the ball out.

"Did you get rid of it!?" Leonard's eyes widened, Link shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

It's not a mistake, it's a pass!

But it's not a pass to someone else, it's a right hand to a left hand in the air!

Link sends the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, which is equivalent to taking the basketball out of his hand in the air and catching it with his other hand!

In this way, Leonard pounced.

Link grabbed the basketball with his left hand and then went around to the other side of the basket and gave it a gentle blow.

"Brush!"

Link, who hadn't landed yet, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, the plan was successful! Sure enough, to deal with Leonard's extreme defense, you should use this extreme offensive method!

"The ball went in, Link killed the game, and he ended the defensive battle with two goals in a row! But...... What just happened? How did the ball go in? I remember Link holding the ball in his right hand in the air. "Hubby. Brown got goosebumps all over his body, and although he didn't see it clearly, he knew that another historic classic goal might have been born.

At this point, everyone's eyes fell on the big screen, waiting to see the replay.

Leonard, who was the only one who had witnessed everything, had covered his head in pain......
