One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty: The King of Key Balls

The basketball hit the net, and the cheers in the FedEx Arena continued to increase even though they were already very enthusiastic.

Link waved his arms excitedly. Fortunately, the referee moved quickly, otherwise it would have been a tragedy like Boozer punching the referee in the stomach during celebration.

After punching, Link was hugged by Wade who rushed up from behind.

In the stands, all the fans stood up and cheered for that incredible layup.

In front of the TV, there were even more fans who opened their mouths in surprise.

There were only 2.8 seconds left in the game, and Link's goal gave the Grizzlies a 4-point lead!

4 points, which is not a big difference in a basketball game.

But under the current circumstances, this 4-point gap is insurmountable.

A steal, a difficult jump shot against the defense and an incredible layup, Link once again demonstrated his unparalleled and powerful key ball ability at the critical moment of the fourth quarter!

"Link is definitely a star who can fight hard. Do you know why the Grizzlies always win? Because in the last three minutes of the game, he will not just think about passing the ball like Chris Webber! I have no ill will towards Webber, I just want to say... Link is awesome!"

Hubie Brown could no longer restrain his emotions. Elderly people of his age rarely had such emotional moments.

However, Link made Hubie Brown jump up and down with excitement time and time again.

After commentating on Link's games for so long, Hubie Brown feels like he's getting younger.

Yes, there is a reason why the Grizzlies have such a good record.

First of all, the Grizzlies' hard power is already superior to most teams. Under such circumstances, Link's unimaginable key ball ability can also allow the Grizzlies to win most 50-50 games.

With such a leader in the team, it is difficult for the Grizzlies to have a good record.

In critical moments, Link never disappoints. If the league had statistics on scoring at key moments this season, Link would definitely be number one in the league.

He is the well-deserved king of key goals!

When everyone in the audience was cheering for Link,

Popovich used up the last timeout he had.

There are 2.8 seconds left in the game and the Spurs are 4 points behind. It's obvious that even if Popovich is extremely smart, it would be almost impossible to reverse the game in such a situation.

The old man was just unwilling to give in. He wanted to make a final struggle.

To the fans, this timeout seemed to be called specifically to give everyone time to watch replays.

The moment the game was paused, a slow-motion replay of Link's layup was played on the big screen.

His shocking moves were finally fully displayed in front of the fans.

Fans finally clearly witnessed how Link deliberately let go of the ball in the air to avoid being blocked, and then caught the basketball to complete the layup.

Everyone's mouths turned into an "O" shape. No matter how experienced the fans were, they had never seen such a goal before.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, fans wouldn't be able to imagine this kind of scene.

If the ball is released while a person is in the air, it is basically impossible to get it back under normal circumstances. Many mistakes are caused by the offensive team letting go in the air.

Moreover, even if they do catch the basketball again, almost no one can readjust and complete the layup in such a short period of time.

Sometimes the player who catches the basketball after releasing it doesn't realize what's going on, and his body has already hit the ground.

But Link was stunned to complete this incredible goal in front of the best defensive player in the league.

His terrifying ability to stay in the air and his reaction speed are astonishing.

No wonder Leonard covered his head in pain after Link scored.

What makes the "Facial Paralysis Man" feel desperate is not the 4-point gap, but Link himself!

When he witnessed Link scoring that incredible goal, Leonard's self-confidence was completely destroyed.

He knows that a guy who can score that kind of goal cannot be defeated!

"Incredible, I don't know how to describe this goal other than this word. We don't know whether Link subconsciously avoided the block in the air, or whether he had planned to do this. But no matter what the case, it is It is enough to show how powerful Link is. Kawai performed very well today, but it is a pity that he met an invincible opponent. He is not weak, but his opponent is too strong!"

Popovich looked at Leonard. Although No. 2 was still expressionless, Popovich could see unwillingness and loss in his eyes.

Yes, he obviously fought with Link for a whole game, and his performance was obviously not bad. It was a 50-50 draw with Link.

But at the last moment, he was defeated by Link three times in a row, resulting in a complete loss of the game...

It would be difficult for anyone to accept this kind of thing.

Popovich shook his head. He felt that he was not able to hold the tactical board.

Even his own confidence suffered a huge blow.

Although the game ended in 2.8 seconds, the fans at the scene had already begun to celebrate the victory in advance.

However, before Link appeared, he still clapped his hands and shouted, "Focus!"

This sentence eliminated all possibilities for the Spurs to create miracles.

In the end, Leonard's forced shot from beyond the three-point line failed to hit. The moment the basketball hits the iron, the red light on the backboard also lights up.

At this time, Hubie Brown said the old saying again: "In Memphis, only the Grizzlies can create miracles!"

86 to 82, relying on Link's "three consecutive wins" at the last minute, the Grizzlies passed the test with a 4-point difference, extending the winning streak to 16 games!

Link had 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in this game. For Link, this is a relatively common data. What's more, Link's hit rate today is far below average.

But no one would think that Link performed poorly in this game, so after all, basketball is not a simple data analysis.

This difficult defensive battle finally ended with the Grizzlies victory.

After the game, Link shook hands with Leonard. It has to be said that if Leonard hadn't almost forced Link into a desperate situation today, Link would never have thought of such a crazy move.

Link respects Leonard. Players in this league who can push him into desperate situations with defense are basically extinct.

Leonard is arguably the only one.

Link respects such an opponent from the bottom of his heart.

Leonard also hugged and shook hands with Link politely, looking very sportsmanlike.

But everyone knew that he must be feeling very uncomfortable at this time.

Ever since losing to the Grizzlies in Game 7 last summer, Leonard has been waiting for a chance to get revenge.

Now we have finally waited for the first match against the Grizzlies, but it ended like this.

Losing in a critical round is the most heartbreaking way to lose, even more uncomfortable than losing directly to the Grizzlies by 20 points.

Some people seem to be not much different from him.

But this tiny gap may never be bridged.

Now, Leonard feels this way in his heart.

No matter how well you do, Link can do better than you...

After the game, even Popovich, who always likes to talk nonsense, couldn't do it today.

"Link's goal was incredible, I can't even imagine how he came up with that move. I'm very happy with the performance of our players in this game, they played an honorable game, just... ... Not so lucky. Link’s clutch ability is intimidating.”

Popovich pouted. The team that firmly ranks first in the strength rankings this year is really not easy to mess with.

Link also praised Leonard at the press conference. He said frankly: "Kawhi's defense gave me a lot of trouble. I was risked by him twice today and stole once. He is really strong. .”

However, as a winner, the more Link praised Leonard, the more he highlighted his own greatness.

Link has defeated such a powerful opponent, how can he not be great?

After this crazy night, the Grizzlies' record became 49 wins and 4 losses.

Link is getting closer and closer to completing his goal of surpassing 74 wins.
