Grizzlies fans all breathed a sigh of relief, and yesterday's rollover of four higher-ranked teams undoubtedly made them very nervous. But now, watching the grizzly bear take the lead, everyone happily ate popcorn and drank beer in the stand.

Do you still need to watch the Grizzlies' first-round game? It's another big win in the blink of an eye!

On the court, the Mavericks players are still resisting. This group of veterans is desperately trying to make the playoffs, not to be a foil for the Grizzlies.

Maybe the idea is crazy, but Mavericks really want to win! They even planned to take away a victory from the Federal Express Arena!

But now, they have undoubtedly discovered how unrealistic their plans were.

Nowitzki, whose jersey collar was completely soaked with sweat, made a triple threat move with the ball in his hands and then suddenly dribbled through.

This time, the German magically brushed Randolph and sent the ball to the basket with his long arms outstretched.

But what is unbelievable is that Nowitzki's layup actually knocked out of the frame and missed it!

The Mavericks have been in terrible form since the first quarter of the lowest single-quarter scoring record in team history, and their shooting percentage has been declining. So far in the game, none of the Mavericks' starting five Tigers, except for Durham Porter, have shot 40% from the field.

And Durham Porter had a 50 percent shooting percentage, but that was only because he only shot twice.

The Mavericks looked at a loss under the Grizzlies' playoff-level defense, but people didn't expect that now the Mavericks players feel so cold that they will miss even a layup.

"Dirk didn't actually score the ball! It seems that today, the Mavericks are powerless. With just four minutes left before the end of the game, the Mavericks trailed the Grizzlies by 18 points. ”

Kenny. As soon as Smith said this, Link assisted Gasol Jr. to score a goal on the head of Durham Potter.

"Well, now the gap is 20 points." Smith pouted, 4 minutes and 20 minutes, which basically amounted to a death sentence for the Mavericks.

After this goal, Rick. Carlisle asked for a timeout, and it looked like he still wanted to do something in the final four minutes.

But on the Grizzlies' side, Joggle took the lead in replacing his main lineup and was extremely confident.

With Nowitzki, who shot just 28 percent from the field, Monta was just 4-of-14 shooting. Ellis and Marion, who shot 36.4 percent, Carlisle didn't have the capital even if he really wanted to do anything. No matter how good the manager is, it is always the players who decide everything on the pitch.

Joggle has already declared the winner of this game, and in the final 4 minutes, the Dallas Mavericks, who have struggled all day, are unlikely to burst out.

After the timeout, when the Mavericks veterans were still ready to fight, they found that the Grizzlies had replaced all their main players.

God knows how sad they are at this time.

However, the Grizzlies' bench lineup didn't make it much easier for the Mavericks either. After all, a few days ago, they had only been won once by the Mavericks. This time, the Grizzlies' young bench didn't want to let go of a chance to be humiliated.

Therefore, in the last 4 minutes of the game, the Grizzlies still maintained control of the game. In the end, the two sides fought 104-85.

The 74-win Grizzlies beat the Mavericks in eighth place in the West by 19 points at home! The most dominant team in the regular season carried their dominance into the playoffs in its entirety.

"It's all over, the Dallas Mavericks are no match for the defending champions at all, the gap between them is all-round! The Grizzlies once again rejected the appearance of an upset and won the game cleanly! ”

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans and Kenny. Smith shouted, and Nowitzki stood there with his hands on his hips, panting.

Today, he has done his best. He played another 40 minutes and he ran tirelessly on the pitch like a young player in his 20s. He longs to replicate the miracle of 2011, but in the end he is desperate to find that his power is so insignificant in front of the Memphis Grizzlies.

He had 11 points and 8 rebounds from the field, shooting less than 30% from the field. If Dirk was a "god" in 2011, today he is an ordinary player. Nowitzki failed to play the hero again, and there was nothing he could do in front of the most dominant team.

If it weren't for Devon, who came off the bench today. Harris scored 19 points on 50 percent shooting, and God knows how big the margin will be.

Dirk couldn't help but turn his head to look at Link, the guy who easily blasted down 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and the guy who locked up the MVP as soon as the regular season ended.

Three years ago, he was still comforting the young man and telling him not to give up hope. Thinking about it now, Nowitzki felt that his comfort was simply superfluous.

In his first year in the NBA, he was able to reach the Western Conference Finals with the team, and at that time, Link's success was already doomed.

"Dirk, let's go, we have a second game, a third game, we haven't lost yet."

Marion, seeing that Nowitzki was where he was, came up and patted the German on the shoulder.

Nowitzki nodded lightly and followed Marion into the players' tunnel.

He knew that Marion was trying to comfort himself, so he said that.

Actually, it's clear to everyone. Even if there is a second and third game, even if the game returns to Dallas, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to hurt the Grizzlies with a single hair!

Veterans have a strong mental quality, and at the same time, they are more likely than youngsters to see the gap between the two teams and accept reality more easily.

This team has been a force to be reckoned with in the West since the beginning of the 21st century, but now ...... It is quite possible that all this glorious thing will come to an end.

"Sean." Walking in the players' tunnel, Nowitzki suddenly called out to Marion.

"Huh?"

"Do you remember when 3 played against the Grizzlies at a young age?"

Of course, the Memphis went all the way to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in their history. As a result, we did it cleanly. Marion smiled, it was the best season of his career.

"yes...... Neat. But in just three years, we're no match for them at all......" Nowitzki smiled wryly, "what are your plans for this summer?" ”

In the face of Nowitzki's question, Marion was silent.

yes, they can even start thinking about this summer's vacation......

"Do you think that kid can make it? I mean, consecutive championships. Marion was silent for a while, and then moved on to another topic.

"Who? Link? If we lose, I'm sure he can do it. Because everything I told him three years ago, he listened. ”

With that, the two came to the door of the locker room.

Nowitzki took a deep breath and pushed the door in. He is the spiritual pillar of this team, and all those weaknesses and reluctances must stay outside the locker room door......

On the court, the Grizzlies players had already celebrated their victory. Link's harshness proved to pay off. Instead of overturning, the Grizzlies beat the Mavericks to the ground.

The team with the best record in NBA regular season history has shown that they are unique in the league.

Link wasn't even sweating much when he was being interviewed.

With 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, it was as simple as eating and sleeping for Link.

"Congratulations, Link, congratulations on your first win in the intense playoffs and the first step towards your goal of defending your championship. Let's talk about this game, do you think it was the Mavericks who didn't play well today, or did you really suppress each other? ”

The reporter didn't want to embarrass Link, so he asked a relatively "boring" question.

Link was silent before the start of the match, but after the match, Link was very interested in saying a few more words.

"The Mavericks fought hard today, they are a respectable opponent. If it weren't for Mark. Cuban, I think they should lose a few points today. If you want to blame, blame the Mavericks for having a boss with a big mouth but a very poor speech. The biggest takeaway from this game was to make Cuban uncomfortable. ”

Link pointed to the camera, as if he had poked Kuban in the nose.

At this time, Kuban, who was sitting in front of the TV, was so angry that he could not speak. This feeling of "hating you and not being able to kill you" is enough to make people crazy.

The most rampant boss in NBA history can only swallow his anger in front of the NBA's number one villain.
