One Thousand and Sixty: Beat Them Up.

Looking at it now, the Grizzlies' performance in the second quarter can only be regarded as a warm-up.

Because the Grizzlies' firepower in the third quarter was even more intense than in the second quarter!

To be precise, Link's firepower in the third quarter was stronger than the entire Grizzlies' firepower in the second quarter.

Klay Thompson and Ian Clark seemed to have become marionettes, at the mercy of Link.

The entire third quarter became Link's solo performance time. Although he did not face off against Durant alone, this still could not cover up his explosive performance on the offensive end.

At this time, Link once again got the ball outside the three-point line. Thompson was already very close, but he was still wary.

After receiving the basketball, Link glanced at Durant behind Clay, as if to say to him, "Are you really not going to help defend?"

After that, Link took two steps back, put some distance between him and Thompson, and prepared to sprint!

Link's dribbling rhythm alternated between fast and slow. There were times when Thompson thought Link was about to break through, but in the end he didn't.

Defending Link made Thompson feel helpless. Because he felt that everything he did was under Link's control.

He was like a nervous new recruit, and Link was the formidable instructor.

Whether to go left or right, he could only follow Link's command.

Link's series of feints allowed Thompson to unknowingly distance himself from Link, and he subconsciously wanted to defend Link's breakthrough.

However, this was exactly the reaction Link wanted to see.

When Thompson was still guessing whether Link would go left or right, Link suddenly made a pull-up jumper one step away from the three-point line!

Link's shooting was without warning. From dribbling to jump shooting, a series of actions were done in one go.

Therefore, Thompson completely failed to predict Link's movements, and the interference was delayed by more than half a beat.

Seeing Link attack Thompson easily, Cole covered his forehead in advance.

He knew that it was impossible for Link to miss this kind of ball.

"brush!"

"Got it again, it's amazing! Link's three-pointer made the Golden State Warriors trail by 21 points, 21 points! In the third quarter, the Warriors were completely defeated by the Grizzlies! No, to be precise, they were defeated by the Grizzlies! Link exploded!"

Hubie Brown stood up with his head in his hands in disbelief. Although he witnessed the whole process, he still found it unbelievable.

If the Grizzlies had played this score against other opponents, Hubie Brown wouldn't be so excited.

But the one facing the Grizzlies on the court at this time is the defending champion!

But a team that has three superstars at the same time: Curry, Thompson and Durant!

They are a terrifying team that easily wins by big scores and scores 130+ points in a single game!

However, it is this team that is wreaking havoc in the league, but today it fell behind the Grizzlies by 21 points in three quarters.

Before the start of this game, people believed that no team in the league could match the offensive firepower of the Warriors. But today, this statement is undoubtedly outdated.

"Link has simply put on a god-level performance in the third quarter. So far, he has scored 20 points! No, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that Link has scored 20 points in total now, I mean he has scored 20 points." He already scored 20 points in the third quarter alone! Counting the 15 points in the first half, Link has already scored 35 points before the third quarter is finished!"

Jeff Van Gundy also took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his bald head. Link's scoring performance in the third quarter was simply doing whatever he wanted.

Cole wants to fight Link;

He made a huge mistake from the start!

The Warriors' firepower in the third quarter was simply not comparable to Link's.

Indeed, the lineup without a center allowed the Warriors to perform vigorously on the offensive end. But their offensive efficiency today simply couldn't catch up with Link.

Just pick out any of the singles rounds between Link and Thompson and Clark, and they are enough to be included in the daily top five.

Shake, jump shot, break through, Link can do it all!

Against Thompson and Clark, Link seemed to be performing a dimensionality reduction attack. It's as easy as being an NBA All-Star and playing in the NCAA.

Grizzlies fans cheered, while Warriors fans’ jaws dropped.

They desperately discovered that Link's personal singles ability may not even be matched by Durant!

When Link easily scored again, Steve Kerr called a timeout.

But at this time, there was only 1 minute and 45 seconds left before the end of the third quarter.

In other words, no matter what, the Warriors have to enter the fourth quarter with a point difference of nearly 20 points.

"Damn it, I'm going to defend him next!" Durant was very angry. To him, Link's excellent data was an insult to him!

He doesn't want to lose to Link. Whether it's a game or personal performance, he doesn't want to be worse than Link.

Facing the roaring Durant, Cole said nothing. Because he knows that if Durant is allowed to defend Link, the inside will be exploded again!

Unless, he replaces McGee or Varejao.

Whether to play center or not has become Cole's only choice to change the game.

But before he could decide, the timeout ended again.

In the end, the Thunder finished the last 1 minute and 45 seconds of the third quarter with five small lineups.

After the third quarter, the point difference between the two teams became 25 points.

The Golden State Warriors have never faced such a big crisis this season.

The most important thing is that they have never been so embarrassed on the offensive end!

During the break, Cole finally gave in. He knew that now it was not the grizzly bear that had to follow him, but that he had to follow the grizzly bear.

The disadvantage must be reduced first before a counterattack can be launched.

Cole has not fought this kind of unfavorable battle for a long time. He is more accustomed to games where he clocks out in the third quarter. Today, when he suddenly encountered such a tough opponent, Cole was really caught off guard.

So after the fourth quarter started, the Warriors finally moved on to center.

JaVale McGee took over at the critical moment. In this team with the Big Four, he became the key to the Warriors' reversal.

However, after seeing that the Warriors had to withdraw their small lineup, Joger became more relieved.

He knew that Link had given the Warrior a taste of its power. Cole wouldn't have given up on his small lineup so easily if he hadn't been cornered.

After the fourth quarter started, the Warriors launched a fierce counterattack.

However, their offensive efficiency was actually not as good as in the third quarter. Because of McGee's presence, the Warriors' offensive space is no longer so large, and the rhythm can no longer be played so fast. Their offense today, which was not smooth enough, was cut into pieces.

Although McGee's presence has greatly improved the Warriors' ability to protect the frame, it still cannot completely curb the Grizzlies' scoring momentum.

Link was not satisfied either. After the start of the fourth quarter, he was still outputting fiercely.

Although Durant returned to Link's side, Link had already accumulated a hot touch in the third quarter.

Durant came too late!

All the frustration in last season's Western Conference finals, Durant's arrogance from last summer to now, Link's unwillingness... all of this burst out into huge power.

So much so that even Durant was pulled out for military training!

When the fourth quarter was halfway through, Link's personal score had reached 45 points!

Today, Durant and Curry combined did not score as much as Link alone.

When Link scored 45 points, the Grizzlies had extended their lead to 32 points. Even for the Golden State Warriors, this game is completely hopeless.

Therefore, Qiaogel took the lead in replacing Link.

This move attracted wild cheers from the fans in the audience.

Because Link left the game, it meant that the Grizzlies officially announced that the game had entered garbage time!

Generally speaking, garbage time is torture for fans. But today, Memphis fans are cheering.

Because being able to push the game into garbage time against the Warriors is an honor!

When Link came off the field, he waved to the stands around him.

Finally, he looked at the Warriors bench and the ashen-faced Durant.

Link laughed. It seemed that the warrior was beaten quite painfully by him today...
