One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty Three: The Most Critical Moment

The Clippers defeated the Grizzlies and took the lead in the series.

This became breaking news the next day.

The Clippers' victory made the situation in the Western Conference finals more confusing.

The beautiful script that people originally imagined did not go as planned, and Link eventually ran into trouble.

This tenth year has not been easy for Link.

The day after the game, everyone had various discussions.

Some people say that Michael Jordan finally found his savior.

Some people believe that the grizzly bears are just taking a nap and that they will soon be able to survive.

But some people believe that Leonard is the end of this "Link Era"!

"Three steals at critical moments, Leonard's performance just restrained Link, who likes to explode at critical moments. This time, the Grizzlies can no longer win the 55-open game easily."

"Leonard's defense at critical moments has given Link a taste of its power. I can guarantee that Link will not be able to create another miracle of turning the tide at the last moment in this series!"

"The series has not been finalized yet, but the Grizzlies have indeed encountered the biggest crisis. I don't know if Link's reputation accumulated in the regular season this year will become a foil for the Clippers and Leonard."

Leonard has become famous for a while, and his defensive ability has been praised to the sky.

"Even Link can't score efficiently over Leonard at critical moments." This statement appears more and more frequently.

Link looked at the reports in the news media and shook his head secretly.

He couldn't understand why every time he lost, there would always be a group of people so happy...

Does it do you any good if I lose?

Sure enough, ordinary people can't break into Kuroko's world.

It was a pity to lose the game yesterday. The Clippers were able to fight the Grizzlies until the last second, which proved that their strength cannot be underestimated.

But in Link's view, those three mistakes at the last moment,

It's completely avoidable.

As long as you're careful, there's no telling who the ultimate winner will be.

To put it bluntly, the Clippers were able to beat the Grizzlies not because they really found the killer move, nor because they found the Grizzlies' real Achilles' heel.

They have not grasped the lifeline of the Grizzlies, so the chances of the Grizzlies and Clippers are still 50-50.

Unable to score against Leonard's key defense?

What a joke, even if Jesus really comes, Link is confident that he can score a goal.

Of course, Link didn't complain. Leonard, on his side, did not talk about it in the media just because he won the game.

A very strange phenomenon is that after the Grizzlies and Clippers played a fierce game, they once again returned to the "ban mode".

After a fierce hand-to-hand battle, both sides fell silent again. This strange phenomenon is really rare.

Although no players from either side have spoken out publicly, this time, the atmosphere of war will not dissipate again.

Because the whole world knows that the next game is a game the Grizzlies cannot afford to lose!

If the Grizzlies lose all two home games, then Los Angeles will be in trouble for Link.

Yes, 0-2 is not the end. In most people's minds, falling behind 0-3 is considered a death sentence.

But in fact, in the history of the playoffs, the probability of coming back from a 0-2 deficit is only 6%! In the past ten years, there have been only 6 examples of counterattacks after falling behind 2-0 in the playoffs!

Compared with 0%, 6% seems nothing to be proud of...

To put it bluntly, trying to make a comeback when trailing 0-2 is still only a very small probability event.

Even if the Grizzlies are in a 0-2 deficit, it is still a disaster.

Therefore, the only option for Link and his teammates is to fight hard.

Link's final regular season has been perfect. No one wants to finally reach the Western Conference finals but end up capsized.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine the intensity of the next game.

Now, maybe both sides are very silent.

But on the court, it will definitely be a bloody fight to the death!

Two days later, Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals continued at FedEx Arena.

Today, Grizzlies fans are still excited. They all look forward to the Grizzlies' revenge at home.

The Clippers are more confident than before. If they win here once, they can win the second, third and countless times!

On the Grizzlies side, everyone was a little nervous.

They all know what this game means, so no one can really relax.

Veterans such as Jokic and Conley can't do it, let alone players who are playing in the Western Conference Finals for the first time.

The most direct impact caused by tightness is-the three-point shooting rate is extremely poor!

In the first half of the game, the Clippers' performance was no different from before, but the Grizzlies themselves were in trouble.

In the first half today, the Grizzlies' three-point shooting percentage was only 23.6%!

Link created many open three-point opportunities for his teammates, but he just couldn't make them!

From Jokic to Conley, from center to guard, everyone is very hesitant and stiff when shooting.

They are afraid of losing, but in competitive sports, whatever they are afraid of will often come!

At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed by 8 points! Moreover, the scene was extremely ugly.

If the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies in one game, it can still be explained by coincidence.

So suppressing the Grizzlies for two consecutive games is obviously not a coincidence.

At this time, many people began to worry about the fate of grizzly bears.

Generally speaking, even if the Grizzlies lose to their opponent once, they will immediately get back on track in the second game.

But today, the Grizzlies were cornered by the Clippers for the second consecutive game.

Leonard, the "terminator," seems to be really going to end Link's otherwise perfect season.

During the halftime break, Joger reminded everyone to relax and adjust their mentality.

Sure enough, going too smoothly in the first few rounds of the playoffs is not a good thing.

For those like the Clippers who have played a desperate tiebreaker with the Lakers, they can easily adjust their mentality. After all, they are people who have been through hell.

But the Grizzlies are different. The original dynasty lineup was fine. This year's brand-new lineup suddenly encountered setbacks despite going smoothly, and their ability to adjust is really poor.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' three-point shooting percentage finally returned to normal in the second half, and Joger's speech still had an effect.

But at this time, the Clippers had already gained momentum and they had firmly taken control of the game.

The Grizzlies had a very difficult time chasing points. Every time they tried to get close to the score, they would be pulled away by the Clippers again.

In the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, after Link scored on Leonard in a single, he finally narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

As a result, Paul George soared to the frontcourt and made a pull-up three-pointer, allowing the Grizzlies to return to the pre-liberation stage one night.

In the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, Conley was roughly intercepted by Beverley, who fed Harrell an alley-oop, widening the point difference to 11 points!

Many Grizzlies fans didn't even dare to watch. They didn't dare to imagine what the outcome of this series would be like if they really fell behind 2-0.

As time passed, their despair deepened.

Until one minute before the end of the game, after Link hit a difficult pull-up layup, the Grizzlies were still 12 points behind!

At that time, everyone was in despair. It is almost impossible to catch up with 12 points in one minute!

What's more, it's Leonard who is the killer at this critical moment.

The next defense is crucial for the Grizzlies.

If the defense is successful, maybe we can expect a miracle. If we can't defend it, we'll face Los Angeles 0-2.

The Clippers obviously knew the Grizzlies' situation, so they played extremely patiently in this attack.

In other words, they are delaying time on purpose!

The ball doesn't need to be scored, but the time must run out, which will make you sick.

Joger has been hesitant to let the players start fouling, but considering the Clippers' three ball-holding points on the court and their good free throw line shooting, Joger gave up.

Leonard's free throw percentage was 88.9%, George was 88.2%, and Lou Williams was 86.3%...

Sending them to the free throw line is simply giving away points euphemistically.

Seeing that the Grizzlies were not attacking, George calmly controlled the ball outside the three-point line.

When the attack time showed only 3 seconds left on the timer, George suddenly started, and then made a difficult emergency stop and fell back under the tight block of JaMychal Green!

The hearts of all Grizzlies fans were in their throats, this was almost equivalent to a buzzer beater!

If they don't score, the Grizzlies still have a theoretical chance.

I was about to enter, but there was no chance even in theory.

Link also stared at the basketball, but when he saw the flight arc of the basketball, Link instantly felt a chill.

That guy George is simply...

"brush!"

"Basketball hit, Paul George actually made this difficult pull-up fadeaway! Oh my God, the Grizzlies were almost sentenced to death! With 14 points and 37 seconds left in the game, the Grizzlies fell behind. 14 points! This means that the Grizzlies are going to Los Angeles with a 2-0 deficit! They deserve to be the Clippers and the strongest forward. No matter whether they are offensive or defensive, they always have someone who can stand up!"

Around the excited Mike Breen, there were only a group of fans with their mouths hanging open.

That blow just now was simply heartbreaking!

Paul George is worthy of being one of the MVP candidates last season.

It was Leonard in the last game, and George in this game. The Clippers' strongest forward is well-deserved!

At this time, the Grizzlies called a timeout, and on the other side, the Clippers players were already celebrating their victory in advance.

A huge sense of fear once again enveloped FedEx Arena, and the biggest crisis of Link's career was officially staged.
