Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine: It Turns Out that Grizzly Bears Can Also Panic (4K)

Last night, Robert Pera said that Link was the Grizzlies' Michael Jordan.

As a result, today, when Chris Wallace looked through the news, he really saw a lot of comparisons between Link and Jordan.

"Link scored 50+ points in the playoffs for the second time in his career. We all know that Michael Jordan's record is an incredible eight times! But Link's career is still long. God knows whether he can achieve this impossible goal. Records broken.”

"Once upon a time, people said that Michael Jordan's 72 wins in a single season was the ceiling of the regular season record. The result? The Grizzlies won 74 wins in one breath! So, don't say it's impossible. A player like Link can't Treat it with normal eyes."

"Michael Jordan has never played in a tiebreaker in the Finals in his career. Well, now I am very much looking forward to Link doing something like this."

Link's reversal game in which he scored 51 points attracted almost all the spotlight.

So much so that no one mentioned James' 44 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists at all. James's god-level playoff performance was just buried by Link.

Amidst so many praises, everyone felt that Link should be floating in the sky now.

However, the opposite is true.

Link asked Pella to make a championship ring for him in advance, but this does not mean that he has got carried away.

As an undrafted player who rose to stardom step by step, Link will never get carried away. Because those who got carried away had all been defeated by him, and he did not want to repeat the old path of his opponents.

Asking the boss to make a ring for him in advance made Link more cautious.

After all, now, he has another reason why he absolutely cannot lose. In order for this ring to come to him in a legitimate way, he will do his best to clear all the obstacles in front of him.

Therefore, Link was not complacent about his first victory in the finals.

On the second day of training after the first game of the series, Link was still one of the first players to arrive.

His training attitude was not compromised at all because of his superb performance in the last game, and the praise from the outside world seemed to be automatically filtered out by Link.

Originally, the Grizzlies players were a little relaxed today. But later, when they saw how serious Link was, the others immediately didn't dare to act casually.

Those who played the best yesterday didn't relax, so what qualifications do they have?

Jorge was grinning from ear to ear on the sidelines. This was Link taking the lead. Whether in the game or in the locker room, he is the well-deserved core and boss of the Grizzlies.

The coach yelled "Be serious, we haven't won yet" on the sidelines, shouting at the top of his lungs, but the effect was not as good as the team leader's personal actions.

Link's attitude prevented the Grizzlies from capsizing in the ditch. If the Cavaliers want to win, they must use hard power to win!

At this time, the Cavaliers also burst out with more powerful energy.

The Cavaliers' defeat yesterday had just begun to demoralize them. But later, it brought the Cavaliers players closer together.

David Blatt's plan has not changed, but Irving and Love need to share more scoring pressure on James.

In training, the other two giants of the Cavaliers did show a better state than yesterday.

For players of Irving and Love's caliber, one game is enough to adapt to the intensity of the Finals.

The Cavaliers only lost by 4 points in the last game. In other words, if Irving and Love could make fewer mistakes and allow the Grizzlies to counterattack less often,

This 4-point gap has been closed.

Therefore, the entire Cavaliers team is confident in the next game between both sides.

In James' view, Link was almost at his limit when he was injured and played yesterday.

Even if he did it again, Link couldn't do better than yesterday.

But the Cavaliers are different. They still have a lot of room for improvement.

The defeat in the first game of the series was just a temporary defeat.

Soon, the second game of the Finals continued at FedEx Arena.

Today, the Cavaliers changed their fatigue after losing the last game and started a bloody battle with the Grizzlies at FedEx Arena.

Irving, who had an average performance in the last game, passed Conley and made an easy jumper today.

It can be seen that Irving is not as tight in the finals as he was in the previous game. His agility is back on the court.

Subsequently, James assisted Love and hit a three-pointer. This time, "The God of Love" was not frightened by Tobias Harris's interference.

He took action calmly and extremely calmly. Such a shot is naturally extremely accurate.

Not only Irving and Love, but everyone else on the Cavaliers also performed well enough.

Mozgov made crazy fouls in the paint and stepped into the free throw line again and again.

J.R. Smith's offensive status during substitute time made him seem to be the Cavaliers' fourth giant.

"I have to say that there is a reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers were able to reach the Finals. Their perseverance and will are no worse than the Grizzlies, and they definitely deserve the title of Eastern Conference champion."

Seeing the Cavaliers quickly regaining their form after just experiencing a defeat, Mike Breen admired him very much.

Of course, the Grizzlies' performance wasn't bad either. Today, the Grizzlies changed their strategy for defending James. Instead of using Link to compete against James, Joger put Iguodala in the starting lineup and chose to let him finish the job.

Although Link and Grizzly won the last game, it was really thrilling. Facts have proved that after the injury, Link and James had a head-on confrontation, which was indeed a bit difficult.

So today, Joger used Iguodala to share Link's pressure on the defensive end. In this way, Link can devote more energy to attacking.

But unfortunately, the Cavaliers' offense was also very good today, so Link was unable to open up the score.

Like the last game, the Grizzlies were very passive before the end of the third quarter.

At the last moment of the third quarter, Irving called Love to come forward to cover. Everyone focused on Irving, but Irving sent the ball to Love who cut into the basket.

The latter faked a shot past Gasol and then gently put the ball into the basket, turning the score into 76-71. At this time, there was only 0.1 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

In the end, the Grizzlies entered the fourth quarter with a 5-point disadvantage. However, Grizzlies fans are obviously not worried. They are all looking forward to Link's magical performance.

However, today, the fourth quarter was not as beautiful as the Grizzlies imagined.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Irving took advantage of Conley and succeeded in a close throw, widening the point difference!

In the next round, Irving lobbed the ball to Love in the bottom corner, then suddenly cut in with his bare hands, played hand-to-hand with Love at the edge of the penalty area, and scored a backhand layup!

"It's the cooperation between Kelly Irving and Kevin Love again. Their performance today is obviously better than the last game! The Cleveland Cavaliers still have the initiative in the game, and the Grizzlies must exert their strength as soon as possible. !”

But it was not the Grizzlies who took the lead, but LeBron James who was not willing to lag behind.

Facing Iguodala, he started his all-around performance.

After receiving the ball in the low post, he can shoot jumpers, drive to the basket to cause damage, pull up from outside the three-point line, assist teammates...

James perfectly continued his form from the last game and even did better than the last game.

Qiaogel now only feels lucky that Link's presence did not make the grizzly bear feel underestimating the enemy.

Otherwise, this game would have been ruined by the Cavaliers who have bottomed out.

In the last 8 minutes of the last game, Link almost dominated the court. But today, he is no longer the only protagonist.

The dazzling performance of the Cavaliers' Big Three prevented the Grizzlies from tying the score.

In the last four minutes of the fourth quarter, Link had a chance to tie the game. He received a pass from Gasol outside the three-point line and immediately shot.

But under James' tight blocking, the basketball finally hit the edge of the basket and failed to hit.

After another two minutes, Link called Gasol to cover, and after the pick-and-roll, he hit the ground through Gasol, trying to let Gasol equalize the score in the paint.

Gasol pushed away Mozgov who was standing under the basket and successfully scored, but at the moment of scoring, the referee blew the whistle.

It wasn't 2+1, but Gasol was given a dribble to hit someone, and the goal was invalid!

At this time, the game was about to end in only 2 minutes, but the Grizzlies were still 2 points behind because of this offensive foul!

Grizzlies fans became anxious and booed the referee violently.

Joger also yelled off the court, claiming that it was not enough to constitute a foul.

David Blatt looked at the reaction at the scene and smiled with satisfaction.

The all-powerful Memphis Grizzlies are starting to panic!

"There are still two minutes left in the game, but the Grizzlies have no tendency to overtake the score. Now we don't know whether the series is closer to suspense or closer to the championship!"

Mozgov, who was knocked down by Gasol, stood up again with the help of his teammates. This scene was just like the Grizzlies players who immediately picked up Gasol after he fell into the audience in the last game. .

Today's Cavaliers are like a replica of the last game against the Grizzlies. From the king James to the role player Mozgov, everyone is fighting hard.

In the last minute of the game, Link forced his way to the basket and caused a foul.

The two sides have completely entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and FedEx Arena has completely turned into a battlefield for a peaceful world.

After Link got up from the ground, Chris Wallace in the luxury box was sweating.

"It seems that the game did not go as smoothly as we imagined. Two nights ago, you and Link were still talking about championship rings. But now..."

Robert Pera waved his hand and interrupted Wallace, "Keep reading. Not all Michael Jordan games go smoothly."

Link endured the pain. If he had just gotten a chance, he would not have chosen to attack by drawing a foul.

The knight's defense was too tight, and Link was really forced to have no choice but to resort to this suicidal attack.

Although Link made two free throws, he still only tied the score.

95 to 95, 1 minute left in the game. As long as the Grizzlies can defend this round, they still have hope.

This time, James continued to catch the ball in the low post. At this time, James already has a gorgeous triple-double of 39 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.

He is the best player in the Cavaliers today, and his threat is extremely huge.

So, Link abandoned Owen and went up to flank James. Compared to the young Irving, Link is naturally more wary of James' performance at critical moments.

Irving didn't hesitate, he ran in reverse, from the basket to the right side of the three-point line!

James' broad vision and outstanding passing ability allowed him to find Irving and successfully passed the ball under the double-teams of Iguodala and Link.

"Kelly Irving caught the basketball and took the shot. Can this ball kill the game!?"

Link watched Irving take action, preparing to grab a defensive rebound. In his expectation, Irving, who was playing in the finals for the first time, would not be able to withstand the tremendous pressure.

But as soon as Mike Breen finished speaking, the basketball exploded into a "white wave"!

In the last 41 seconds of the game, young Kelly Irving hit a jump shot from beyond the three-point line, giving the Cavaliers a crucial 3-point lead in the last 41 seconds!

In the last game, Irving's performance was criticized. But today, he bottomed out. He became James' best helper, and he made the Grizzlies' road to the championship bumpy again.

Irving said he would do his best to help James today, and he did what he said!

"Kelly Irving, welcome to the world of superstars! This is a priceless three-pointer, and it is also the three-pointer that allows Irving to enhance his historical status! A key goal at a critical moment in the finals, this will definitely benefit Irving a lot ! The Clevelanders have the advantage, but the Grizzlies are running out of gas!"

Joger called a timeout. He was sweating profusely and very nervous.

James rushed up and jumped up to touch Irving's chests. He was right about this kid. He was indeed an excellent helper!

Link shook his head. Irving's key three-pointer seemed to have come a year earlier than in the original history...

Nowadays, what happened in the original history seems to have little reference value. The greater Link's influence, the greater the historical line changes.

The brutality of this year's finals is indeed incomparable to that of the past two years.

The Cavaliers are determined to steal the O'Brien Cup, and their fighting spirit is much higher than that of the Heat last season.

The Heat have always won a championship, so last year, except for James and Wade, the desire for the championship was not that strong.

But the knights are different. They are like great white sharks that smell the smell of blood. They just want to tear the opponent in front of them into pieces and taste the fresh meat.

There were 41 seconds left. Even if Link scored a three-pointer to tie the score in the next round, the Cavaliers still took the initiative. What's more, Link may not be able to score three points. In the past few rounds, Link missed two shots from beyond the three-point line.

For James, this is an almost impossible situation to lose. Chasing 3 points in 41 seconds is much harder than chasing 9 points in the last 8 minutes!

As long as the score can be tied to 1-1, James will have the confidence to get rid of the status of "total runner-up".

Among the successful people of this era, Link cannot be the only one named!

No matter how unlucky he is, he can't let Link disrupt his must-win situation twice in a row. .

Soon, the pause-ending buzzer sounded. James looked at his teammates and nodded.

"Let's go out and win!"
