One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Two: There Are a Group of Idiots Like You on the Field.

Over in the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers are playing smoothly.

Due to the absence of Thomas, the Celtics have no room to fight back in front of the Cavaliers.

It can be said that it is a certainty that the Cavaliers will reach the finals for the third consecutive year.

As a result, the world's eyes are now on the West. The matchup between the Grizzlies and Warriors, the two teams with the best regular season records, is now in a stalemate.

May 20, Oracle Arena.

Warriors fans have been waiting here for a long time.

The Warriors won an astonishing 67 games in the regular season this season, but still were unable to gain home court advantage in the Western Conference Finals.

This is also the first time since this year's playoffs that the Warriors have to play two away games before returning to Oakland.

Of course, the Warriors' results make fans very happy. It's good enough to get a 1-1 score at FedEx Arena.

After all, no team has been able to defeat the Grizzlies in the playoffs before.

Now, Warriors fans are looking forward to their team expanding their advantage at home.

Before the game started, ESPN reporters interviewed many fans who were waiting to line up in the square outside Oracle Arena.

All Warriors fans are so fanatical that they wear yellow T-shirts like a ball of fire.

"Draymond is right, the Grizzlies should never think about the Western Conference Finals!"

"Fuck the Grizzlies, they can't take a win out of here!"

"We are just defeated. I believe Kevin and Stephen can deal with the Grizzlies."

All the Warriors fans who were interviewed yelled at the camera without mincing words.

The city of Oakland is really deeply hostile to grizzly bears.

As Link and his teammates took the team bus from their hotel to Oracle Arena, a huge number of fans gathered on both sides of the street.

Of course, they are not here to cheer for the Grizzlies, but to show off their "exquisite" signs.

If ever, the battle between the Celtics and Lakers seemed like a war. So now, the Grizzlies and Warriors also have this old enemy relationship.

Link was already a little insensitive to such a scene. He didn't care about the fans outside the window, but turned to look at the young people in the back row.

To Link's relief, this time, they did not continue to hang their heads in fear.

It seems that the video last night and the three championship rings played some role.

The bus finally arrived at Oracle Arena safely. As soon as the players got off the bus, the flash lights immediately connected.

Link, wearing a dark blue suit, the main color of the Grizzlies, got out of the car last. Suddenly, at least dozens of photographers carrying machines followed Link around him.

Link himself thought it was too exaggerated. He was the only one in the team who received such treatment.

Just entering the venue, I was followed and photographed 360° without any blind spots.

After entering the locker room, everyone didn't say much, but quickly changed equipment.

The atmosphere of the battle was very strong, and the entire locker room was instantly surrounded by an invisible pressure.

Link put on his brand new color matching signature shoes and touched the words engraved on the edge of the soles.

This has become the classic design of the Link series of sneakers and has been preserved since the first generation. Of course, it has always been Link's source of strength.

"That's not much of a difficulty, is it? Zeke."

After Link whispered to himself, he stood up and jumped twice.

At this time, Joger began to lay out today's tactics. It's more of a review than an assignment.

Because tactically, the Grizzlies have nothing new today.

To be honest, in a matchup of this level between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, the coach can no longer influence the victory.

This is truly a game between the players.

After Qiaogel finished speaking, everyone in the locker room cast their eyes on Link unconsciously.

There was a tacit understanding among everyone that Link would say something.

Link walked to the middle of the locker room, looked back at his locker, and remembered that this time last year, he punched through the wooden door of the locker.

This year, he doesn't want to vandalize public property again.

"Nothing to say, just remember. Don't worry too much, because there are a bunch of idiots like you on the court."

After Link finished speaking, he glanced at the four young men. They all showed their white teeth.

Link nodded, it's time to reciprocate!

"Welcome to Oakland, California, this is Oracle Arena. We will be here to witness the greatest Western Conference Finals in history!"

The stadium's dazzling headlights still couldn't stop the fans' enthusiasm. The commentator's voice made countless people sit in front of the TV and concentrate.

Players from both sides are warming up, and their expressions are very serious.

Although the game has not started yet, even the novice fans can predict that this will definitely be an anxious battle!

"1 to 1, this is actually the result we expected. The series between the Grizzlies and the Warriors will never end hastily, and I won't be surprised if they reach the seventh game. The Warriors ended the last game with With a 2-point advantage over the Grizzlies, where do you think the Warriors won? Is there anything they need to maintain today?" Mike Breen appeared in the Western Conference Finals for the third consecutive time.

Today, his partner was replaced by former Warriors coach Mark Jackson.

"The reason why the Warriors can win is because of the outstanding performance of Curry and Durant. Of course, the secondary reason is that the young people of the Grizzlies did not seize the opportunity at the most critical moment of the game. But both Jokic and Harrell People can make all the shots, and the results may be very different.”

Mark Jackson hit the nail on the head and had no intention of protecting Jokic and Harrell.

"So, how do you think their performance will be today? Will those young people be overwhelmed by the pressure?"

Faced with this problem, Mark Jackson hesitated for a while.

Under normal circumstances, young players will definitely not be able to perform well in such a high-intensity Western Conference finals.

But considering the leader of the Grizzlies is Link...

"No," Mark Jackson shook his head, "Today, they will definitely make people shine."

The atmosphere of the game had reached a critical point. When the starting players of both teams stood together and prepared to compete for the ball, Mike Breen felt as if a pile of explosives had gathered on the court.

As long as the referee gives the order, the entire stadium will be blown up!

"Are you ready?" The referee looked at Gasol and Pachulia.

After getting a nod from the two men, the referee threw the ball into the air!

This time, it was Gasol who won the basketball. The ball was passed directly to Link's hands, and he immediately accelerated after receiving the ball, instead of slowly grinding down the position with the Warriors.

Durant hurried forward to defend, but at the moment when the two sides were about to collide, Link quickly changed direction!

"Hmph, I expected it!" Durant knew that Link was not the type who liked to run rampant, so he kept a hand in case Link changed direction.

As a result, Durant was just about to move sideways and continue to block Link, but felt that he hit a wall.

"Bang!"

Durant was directly bounced to the ground. When he looked up, he realized that it was Jokic who had set up a screen for Link early!

Jokic looked at Durant on the ground with fierce eyes.

In the last game, Durant scored many goals on Jokic. At that time, all he saw in Jokic's eyes was frustration.

But the look in Jokic's eyes today left Durant with lingering fears.

The soft-looking pork belly seemed to be really angry.

After Link got rid of Durant, he made a sudden jumper from the top of the arc outside the three-point line!

Without any interference, Link's jump shot didn't cause any accidents.

As soon as he came up, he responded with a hollow three-pointer to the Warriors!

"Well done Nikola!" After Link scored, he high-fived Jokic who set up a strong screen for himself.

Jokic no longer smiled, but quickly retreated and stared ahead seriously.

Mark Jackson on the commentary table rubbed his hands excitedly. Sure enough, Link's team is harder than the hardest rock in the world.

He's right, today's game will be impressive.
