782: 1.4 seconds (4K)

Greg. Popovich really wants to hold Danny right now. Green kisses it.

That guy is like a superstar today!

The two key moments in the second half were Danny. Green saved the Spurs. Without Green, the Spurs could have lost control of the situation by the end of the first half.

Without Green, the Spurs would not have been able to take a two-point lead in the crucial 18.2 seconds of the game!

Popovich feels like victory is within reach, and the San Antonio Spurs are on the verge of becoming the first team to crush the Grizzlies in this season's playoffs!

And after this game, the GDP combination will also have a record of 111 wins in the playoffs, ranking first in the playoffs of the NBA's all-time trio!

Today is destined to be a legendary night for the Spurs, and Link can't change anything on 1-of-8 three-point shooting!

Now, Popovich has only two questions to consider. First, how to defend well in the last 18.2 seconds. Second, if the Grizzlies want two points to tie the score, how will the Spurs kill the game.

These two questions are simply a piece of cake for Popovich.

If Link is hot today, then Popovich will definitely be anxious about it. Because it is very unsafe to rely on 1-on-1 defense to deal with Link at a critical moment. As a result, Popovich had to think about how to block Link without giving much room to others.

But luckily, Link's crosshair was probably lost at home today. Therefore, Popovich can safely and boldly use man-to-man defense to eliminate the possibility of any Grizzlies player making an easy shot.

If the Grizzlies equalize, then Popovich will set up a set of tactics for Duncan and Green and make two plans for AB. When the time comes, Spurs can kill the game even if they only score 1 point. So, even if the Grizzlies tie the score, the Spurs will be on the side that takes the initiative.

Popovich had a chance to win, and he didn't think he could lose!

The last feud can finally be fully returned today.

And on the other side, Dave. Jogger was much tougher than Popovich. If the next round of offense can't be scored, the Grizzlies will be completely finished. He had more and more complicated things to think about than Popovich.

It's not a good thing to be won at home by the opposition. If the Grizzlies lose home-court advantage, God knows what will happen in the next few games.

If it were placed in normal times, Jogel would not be so stressed. At critical moments, you just need to set up tactics for Link.

But today, no one knows if Link will be able to carry the heavy lift.

Link is still doing well today, scoring 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists so far, and still playing at a superstar level.

But Link's 29 points were basically blasted down in the mid-range and three-second zone. His three-point shot on 1-of-8 shooting is very bad for the current situation.

Joggle knew that even if the Grizzlies scored 2 points to close the gap, the possibility of losing was high. The best thing to do is to just hit a three-pointer.

But Link didn't feel good today, so who should shoot the last shot?

In addition to Link, Conley and Gasol are the two Grizzlies with the most shots.

But considering that he needs to shoot three points at the end, Gasol definitely can't pick it. Although Gasol also has a three-point range, it is okay to shoot cold shots occasionally, and it is really not suitable for the Spaniard to shoot three-pointers in desperate moments.

Gasol's stunners were almost always done under the basket. A shot from beyond the three-point line would be beyond Gasol's capabilities.

So at this point, there is only one option left for Jogger.

"Link, I want Mike to do the last shot."

Joggle didn't have much time to think about it, so he made a decision quickly. But before he could do that, he'd have to talk to Link.

In the 1989 playoffs, before Jordan's classic "The shot", there was actually a hiccup.

Then-Bulls coach Doug Murphy. Collins knew that the opponent would definitely do everything in his power to defend Jordan's last shot. So, he made a very responsible decision - to give the ball to the center Corkin to kill.

As a result, Jordan yelled at the coach that he needed the ball, which led to the tactic of making the ball for Jordan later and the classic killer shot.

Now, Joggle is facing a similar situation. He, like Collins at the time, had to let a player outside of his home team make the last shot.

But Joggle didn't want to have a problem with Link, and he didn't want to yell at Link. Therefore, he deliberately consulted Link before arranging his tactics.

Link paused for two seconds, then nodded.

He himself knew that Jogger was not distrustful of himself. But at the moment, letting Conley shoot the last shot was indeed the right choice.

Link didn't want to embarrass Jogle, everyone wanted to help the team win, all for the team. As long as you can win, what does it matter who you throw it to?

In the Western Conference finals between the Lakers and the Spurs that year, Fischer completed the stunner in 0.4 seconds. But even so, no one thinks that Kobe and O'Neal are derelict in their duties.

Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to hand over the burden to a player other than the star of the house.

Joggle saw Link nod, and quickly began to lay out his tactics. The pressure was all on Conley's shoulders in an instant, and he was now playing the role of a surprise soldier like Fischer in 2004.

The game resumes, and the live camera gives Link a close-up of his face. For this last ball, everyone has no idea in their hearts.

Will Link shoot at all? If Link shoots, will he be able to score?

These mysteries make the suspense of this game even more turbulent.

Popovich confidently crossed his hands on the sidelines, and at Federal Express Arena, only the Grizzlies can do magic. But Popovich still doesn't believe that grizzlies can create magic every time!

Gasol serves the ball from the sideline and Link starts to run aggressively. Leonard immediately posted that he didn't want to be defeated by Link again at the last minute.

However, Link is just a façade. After attracting the attention of the Spurs' defense, he helped Gasol pass the ball to Conley smoothly!

Conley controlled the ball and the Grizzlies pulled away. He's spending time away from the three-point line, and the Grizzlies are going to shoot threes!

"All or nothing?" Popovich smiled, and the Grizzlies chose to end the game with a one-goal victory.

The lord firmly believes that he must be the one who wins!

Conley had the ball outside the three-point line until the final eight seconds before calling for cover.

The black and white bears are both raised, and the horns are in position, setting up double cover.

Conley eventually decided to break through to Gasol's side on the left, while Link began to run 45° to the other side. Although he didn't throw the last shot today, he was still the option for Plan B.

Moreover, his running can also pull the Spurs' defense to some extent.

The Grizzlies played out, but the opportunity didn't show up. Conley had just bypassed the cover, and Duncan went straight to the defense!

The Spurs chose to switch defenses directly and did not give the Grizzlies players any space to start shooting!

"Nice change, Tim. Duncan vs. Mike. Conley! Although it was a misalignment, Conley couldn't use his speed advantage to break through. Because what the Grizzlies need now is a three-point shot, and the breakthrough won't do anything! ”

Hubi. Brown felt his voice tremble, and he didn't know if Link would end up catching the ball and shooting.

Conley saw that Duncan directly switched guards, so he wanted to use the left and right shaking to find the hand space.

But the calm Duncan was unmoved, believing he was tall enough to block any of Conley's shots. As long as he doesn't shake, Conley is helpless!

Conley was really helpless, he wanted to carry out Plan B, he wanted to give the ball to Link.

However, Leonard had completely covered Link at this point, and Conley's passing path was completely cut off!

All back roads are blocked, and Conley is now alone.

There was no way, Conley had to choose a more secure way. He suddenly accelerated, wanting to break through Duncan and score two points!

Although two points can't kill the game, it can at least ensure that the Grizzlies don't lose for the time being.

Conley then accelerated to the break, then made a sharp stop in the middle range and jumped to shoot!

"Mike. Conley shot, and the Grizzlies really didn't pick Link! So, can Mike kill the game!? "Hubby. Brown's heart was already in his throat, and Joggle made the safest, but most dangerous, decision.

Seeing that it was Conley who performed the final shot instead of Link, Popovich curled the corners of his mouth off the court.

It's over!

As soon as Conley was about to make a move after the breakthrough, he found that the picture in front of him was completely covered by a big hand!

Tim. Duncan wasn't overtaken by Conley, he reached out in time to interfere with Conley's shot!

Duncan's decades-long steadiness doesn't change even when it matters most.

Conley's small fight is a complete failure!

Conley ended up shooting with almost no basket in sight, and judging by the flight trajectory alone, the basketball was crooked!

All Grizzlies fans closed their eyes, and the first loss of this year's playoffs seemed inevitable.

"Bang!" The basket rang crisply, and the basketball slammed out of the frame!

Mike. Conley misses key shot! He didn't create a Fischer-esque grassroots miracle!

The Spurs players were overjoyed, and it turned out that they do have what it takes to compete with the Grizzlies. After winning this game, just play well at home for the last two. Even if Spurs want to make the aggregate score 3-1, it's not impossible!

The Grizzlies have been the star of the season and it's time to step away!

Dio jumped up to grab the rebound, and with a few seconds left in the game, he knew he was bound to be fouled by the Grizzlies, so he was ready to make free throws when he took off.

However, for a moment, Dior felt as if time had slowed down.

He tried to reach the rebound, but he couldn't, and his body seemed to be still in the air.

After that, Dio felt the pressure coming from his back, someone was fighting against him, and someone was fighting with him behind his back to grab rebounds!

Dio reached harder and he was about to grab the rebound! Just grab this rebound and the game is closed!

But the man behind him stretched out a pair of arms! With incredible height and speed, before Dior, grabbed the rebound from his back.

Dior is only a little worse, but a little worse is much worse than a lot, there is no difference!

"It's Link! He grabbed the offensive rebound from behind Dior by bounce and bounce speed! OMG! It's really physically crushing! ”

Hubi. Brown had already accepted the fact that the Grizzlies failed at the moment when Conley's shot missed, and who knew that the moment the basketball bounced out, Link "flew" into the air again.

He grabbed the offensive rebound by relying on his height to get rid of Dior, who was stuck in a good position! At that moment, the whole state of Tennessee saw the dawn of hope again!

The world's scariest roller coaster doesn't have this thrill.

The moment Link landed, the Grizzlies used up their last timeout!

Dave. Joggle didn't get distracted, and he didn't throw in the towel early. He took a timeout just right, allowing the Grizzlies to regain possession of the ball in the final 1.4 seconds!

Jogel can become the best coach, but it is not just a light stained by his record.

"Good ball, nice offensive rebounds! Link saves the Memphis Grizzlies once again, and he single-handedly pulls back the Grizzly Bear hanging on the edge of the cliff! This is Link, even if he misses the shot, he can save the team in other ways! ”

Hubi. Brown roared along with the nearly 20,000 fans in the stadium at the moment the game was suspended.

Link's key rebound brings the Grizzlies back to life!

"!" Popovich kicked the chair behind him, and seeing that victory was in sight, Link actually grabbed the rebound!

Moreover, when Dio did not lose the rebounding position, he relied on the bounce and bounce speed to get the rebound.

Snatching offensive rebounds away from the opponent without making a mistake, this kind of ball is the most infuriating!

The last 1.4 seconds may not be enough to bend over and tie a shoelace. But in basketball, there's so much you can do in 1.4 seconds.

Popovich was nervous again, and it stands to reason that he was still on the side that had the initiative. But for some reason, the old man felt very nervous.

Link guy just saved the Grizzlies, so, in the last 1.4 seconds, will he push the Spurs down?

Popovich stared at Link, the joints in his hands turning white from the clenching of his fists.

Link stepped off the court, frowning. He forced the Grizzlies to get the final 1.4 seconds and an offensive opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.

So, the first thing Link did after leaving the court was to look up at Jogger and tell him with a determined look in his eyes.

"I'll do it next time. Give me the ball and I'll get the game done. ”

Link, who had only 1 of 8 three-point shots before, gave Jogel an unquestionable feeling.
