985: The most glorious moment

On the final offensive attack of the first quarter, the Grizzlies held the ball.

At this point, the fans in the Oracle Arena were silent.

It's like they're on a rollercoaster ride, and in the morning, they're still yelling to win the entire series and make a big splash in the Grand Final.

But now, they are starting to worry about whether they can survive today, survive the devastation of an injured player.

Link controls the basketball from beyond the three-point line, and in front of him is an exhausted Draymond. Green.

To defend Link, Green has played a full quarter.

In the regular season, it may be common for a player to play an entire quarter. But playing a whole quarter in such a high-intensity game, the physical exertion is unimaginable.

Large droplets of sweat fell down Green's chin onto the wooden floor, and he knew he had to guard Link now. If you can't, everything will fall apart.

Link slowly approached with the ball, and he could feel Green's fear. His eyes, his body movements, his heavy breathing, all of these were indicative of Green's emotions.

Link curled the corners of his mouth slightly, this guy is just a paper tiger now.

The time on the timer on the rebound ticked by minute by minute, and Link glanced at the numbers on it, then suddenly accelerated!

Green quickly retreated, and he couldn't stop Link in the first place with a lateral movement alone. The only way to stop him was to stick to Link's side to interfere and force him to slow down.

Just when Link was about to completely rush through Green's defense, Link suddenly paused and slowed down urgently!

Green knew Link too well, he knew what Link wanted to do, it was his usual trick.

This guy is trying to step back and make a jumpshot!

Green immediately changed his center of gravity and blocked it, ready to stop Link's shot. But after Green threw all his weight up, Link accelerated again without warning!

Link just made a quick stop, and Green was scared out of his mind and overreacted.

With a simple stop, Link cleared Green away.

The guy just thinks he knows Link.

Shaking off Green, Link continued to break through. And before the rebound glows red, throw the ball out of your hand.

"Beep~~~"

"Brush!"

The basketball went into the net, and Link hit the ball in the last second of the first quarter!

At the same time, this goal also extended the difference to 13 points!

33-20, Link came off the bench in the first quarter and scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and a block!

If before Link's appearance, the Grizzlies and Warriors were inseparable. After that Link came out, the Warriors became completely powerless to resist!

"Amazing first quarter, amazing Link. He put up a very efficient performance in the limited time, and the Grizzlies only led by one point before Link came out. But now, they entered the second quarter with a 13-point lead! ”

"Link's performance was incredible, and the Golden State Warriors couldn't do anything about him. In fact, after the Grizzlies came up with a death five against the Warriors in the last game, the Warriors struggled very hard. They didn't equalise until the last minute of the game. Today, however, Aucklanders are not necessarily so lucky. ”

The on-field commentators were praising Link's super performance, but Link did not stay on the field to celebrate the goal.

Link walked briskly off the court, sat down on the bench, and said nothing.

He clutched his chest, gasping for breath and grimacing.

Everyone knows that physical pain is often proportional to the severity of facial expressions.

But he didn't complain, he didn't gnaw. It's about seizing every minute and every second to regain your strength and waiting for the game to restart.

Everyone looked at Link with concern, and the head team doctor, Moon, walked up to Link to check on him.

"As I said, it's not going to be good. What do you think? Do you want to continue? Moon felt a little remorseful, after all, it was his idea.

"It's really painful, and every time I collide with the other person, it exacerbates my pain." Link shook his head, he wasn't going to hide his true feelings.

Hearing Link say this, Moon thought that Link was going to retreat. But in the next second, Link raised his head and smiled slightly, "But now we're 13 points ahead, so it's all worth it, isn't it?" ”

This was the first time Link had a less hideous expression today.

Jogger looked at his players and suddenly his nose was a little sour.

It wasn't their first time playing in the Western Conference Finals, but it was definitely the most special Western Conference Finals they've ever played.

From Gasol and Whiteside had to give up playing time, Jimmy. Butler and Tony. Allen showed the strength of the best defensive team in the face of no favorites. Carter's lore break, to Iguodala's second-in-class but true "affectionate confession" today, to Link's appearance of holding back the pain......

Everyone on the Grizzlies team is completely dedicated to themselves and brings out their full potential.

Their perseverance, cohesion, friendship and strength were all on full display!

That's right, the Grizzlies have already won two championships. Joggle had thought he was the most glorious moment for him and the Grizzlies.

But today, he doesn't think so anymore.

The Grizzlies' most glorious moment is now! He is honoured to work with such a group of players.

It's impossible to lose with such an excellent group!

"Guys!" Joggle then shouted, focusing everyone's attention on himself.

"Cheer up, we still have three quarters to play! The Golden State Warriors want to finish us at home, they want to break our dominance. Go up and tell them who's the first in the West! The triple crown is just around the corner, and no one can stop us! ”

"Roar!"

The Grizzlies' championship heart is burning, but the Warriors' courage is diminishing dramatically.

At the start of the second quarter, Link sat back on the bench. As planned, he will only come off the bench today.

But the Warriors didn't feel like the game was any easier because of that, and Iguodala hasn't forgotten his promise.

This guy instantly turned into a superstar today, and he was extremely threatening at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

In the absence of Link and Carter, the Warriors adopted a strategy of shrinking defense. As a result, Iguodala's three points went in on a string today.

If you dare to let go, he will dare to enter.

The scariest thing about Iguodala was that he was able to take most of the open shots.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it's enough to make it difficult for a warrior to move an inch.

Link, who lived on the bench, shook his head, no wonder in the original history, Iguodala could have won the FMVP......

With Iguodala's brave performance, the Warriors worked desperately to finally chase the difference to only 6 points in the sixth minute of the second quarter!

But after a timeout, Link was back on the pitch.

At that moment, Cole knew that all his efforts had been in vain. Their attempt to equalise was once again shattered.

Sure enough, Link was still unstoppable. If it weren't for the protective gear in the jersey and the vicious expression that the camera would have swept over from time to time, people might have forgotten that Link was an injured player.

Aside from not being as fond of dunks as he used to, Link's performance was almost the same as usual.

In the final quarter of the last game, Link's shooting percentage was affected.

But now, Link is used to playing in this condition, which makes Jean's shooting as accurate as ever.

The Warriors are on the back spurt, and Curry and Thompson are eclipsed by Link's aura and seem to have completely lost their regular-season magic.

Yes, these two young defenders, where have they experienced such a tragic battle, where have they experienced such an unusual scene, they are completely frightened and stupid.

The cheers in the Oracle Arena turned out to be quieter, and Cole's expression changed from serious to confused.

He almost gave up the game.

By the third quarter, the Grizzlies had an 18-point lead. And this time, Link didn't fall again.

"There are 12 minutes left in the game, and those 12 minutes will directly determine the course of the entire series. I don't know if the Warriors will be able to turn the tide this time! ”

Mike. At the end of the third quarter, Brin threw out a question that was barely in suspense.

Everyone knows that it can't be done.
