One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Four: Is It a Foregone Conclusion? No, Not Yet

All the fans in FedEx Arena have given up their illusions.

Compared with other teams, the Clippers' level is indeed much higher. Although the Grizzlies' three-point miss in the first half was a major reason why this game was extremely difficult.

But if the Clippers were not strong enough, they would not be able to maintain control of the game in the second half.

Trailing by 14 points in 37 seconds, this point difference has already determined the outcome in the NBA.

The fans have lost confidence, and they can only hope that Link can get back the situation after falling behind 0-2 with the total score.

But considering the strength of the Clippers, this seems to be just an unrealistic fantasy...

Joger called a timeout, and all the Grizzlies players looked solemn.

Jokic covered his head with his hands, feeling annoyed about the three-point opportunities he missed today.

Conley was panting, hating his own powerlessness at this moment.

Old Carter clenched his fists tightly. He didn't want the last year of his career to end in such a tragic ending.

Finally, the camera showed Link, who had scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists today.

His face was expressionless, no one knew what the guy was planning. Perhaps, he is considering whether to retire if he fails to win the championship this year.

Or maybe he is already calculating the possibility of overtaking the Clippers in the total score.

No one really knows what he's thinking, and he probably hasn't given up yet, because Link never gives up.

But the current situation can no longer be solved by determination not to give up.

On the other side, the Clippers players cheered.

Paul George sealed his throat with a sword. Link's best friend in college gave Link the most fatal blow.

He is the hero of the Clippers tonight, and all the Clippers players are hugging him.

If the Clippers can really succeed this season, they will definitely become the duo with the highest status in history after Jordan and Pippen, Kobe and O'Neal.

"There is no hope,

Paul George's jump shot killed the only light of the miracle. I don't know how Link will respond next, falling behind 2-0 and going to Los Angeles to play two away games. This is definitely the biggest crisis the Grizzlies have faced in recent years. "

Hubie Brown is also already thinking about falling behind 0-2.

No one thought that the Grizzlies could win this game, 14 points in 37 seconds, unless there was another miracle like the "T-Mac Moment" and Millsap's 11 points in 28 seconds.

Otherwise, the outcome of this game will not change anyway.

But even for Link, it is too difficult to create such a miracle. And today, the situation for grizzly bears is even more serious.

Whether it's McGrady's 13 points in 35 seconds or Millsap's 11 points in 28 seconds.

The Rockets and Jazz were only 8 points behind their opponents at the time.

But Link is different. He is now 14 points behind!

That is to say, while he is scoring points, he also has to ensure that the opponent does not score any points in order to guarantee victory.

Reversing the situation in such a situation is simply something with a success rate approaching zero.

Link looked at the time and score difference on the big screen, and then moved his wrist.

He knew a lot of people thought the game was over, including some Grizzlies players.

But Link doesn't blame them. We are all adults and we can't live in fantasy like children.

However, Link believes that the result may not be what people expected. It is too early to talk about being behind 0-2.

This game isn't over yet!

Although the chance of winning is indeed very slim, as long as it is not 0, don't give up in a hurry.

It may be difficult to go from 0 to 1, but from 1 to 2, or 2 to 3, it is not that difficult!

Even if there is only a 1% chance, Link is willing to give it a try.

I have already achieved 83 points in a single game, what else is impossible?

With the stability of his attack almost unaffected by his physical abilities, as long as Link has a chance to make a move, he can turn the situation around!

During the timeout, Qiaogel only arranged a few singles tactics for Link, which were all conventional tactics.

Because at this time, tactics are no longer enough for a team to turn defeat into victory.

Now, it’s really time for the players to feel like they’re playing.

The game restarted, but at this time the fans in FedEx Arena could no longer cheer, and the ratings of this game had also begun to drop.

Many people have given up on this game and concluded that the game has entered garbage time.

On the Internet, the topic about the Grizzlies falling behind 0-2 has become quite popular.

It seemed that the whole world had acquiesced to the fact that the Grizzlies were trailing 0-2, and the last 37 seconds were just a formality that had to be completed for the sake of the rules.

Leonard stared at Link. His expressionless face really looked like a Terminator sent from the future to kill Link.

It would have been difficult to be 14 points behind now, but now we are facing a defensive player like Leonard.

Grizzly bear is out of the question!

Link walked near the baseline, preparing to catch the baseline ball himself.

At the same time, Leonard also pressed forward closely. In this round, the Clippers wanted to defend against a full-court press, making it difficult for the Grizzlies to just get the basketball.

Leonard has been standing in front of Link, and Link has been wrestling with Leonard.

Collision, going around, colliding again, going around again... The confrontation in basketball often starts before getting the basketball.

While Link and Leonard were fighting fiercely, Link suddenly lost his strength and withdrew, causing Leonard to stumble a few steps.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Link immediately ran away to receive the ball. The smart Jokic did not waste the opportunity and sent the ball up immediately.

When Leonard wanted to stick to Link again, it was no longer that easy.

The advantage of a full-court press is that it can interfere with the opponent's baseline pass and slow down the opponent's advancement.

But the disadvantage is that if the entire defensive lineup goes up too hard, after the defense fails, the opponent can easily hit the basket.

This is just like when defending a breakthrough, you need to maintain a certain defensive distance to be safe. A full-court press defense is a defense that does not provide any safe distance. .

Leonard was too close, so when Link completed his breakthrough, he couldn't catch up.

Under normal circumstances, he should be waiting for Link to "throw himself into the net" outside the three-point line.

But this time, Leonard could only run behind Link.

Link's speed was beyond even Leonard's reach. He quickly got rid of the pressing defense and shot a jumper directly from outside the three-point line.

The pull-up three-pointer has become Link's signature move.

But at this critical moment, people were in no mood to appreciate Link's picturesque shooting.

Leonard jumped from behind, intending to fan the ball away the moment Link lifted it.

Just like he did to Anthony Davis in the last round of the series.

However, Link's bullet speed ruined Leonard's plan. He had already jumped up hard, but his palm could still only hit Link's arm.

The guy's body seemed to have no weight at all, and he could jump very high with just a slight jump.

The moment Leonard hit his arm, Link also threw the ball.

Fortunately, Leonard hit his left arm. Link's right arm holding the ball only needs to hold the basketball with one hand in the air and take a steady shot, and the hit rate can be guaranteed!

Looking at the basketball flying to the top of the arc, Leonard had a bad feeling.

A second later, the premonition became reality.

The referee's whistle blew and the Nets entered the net. As soon as the timeout came back, Link got himself a chance to play 3+1!

"The ball went in, it actually went in! Link really didn't give up, he chose to persist until the end! This is an extremely difficult shot, but the rewards are also quite rich! If Link can score the extra penalty, then the score will be The difference is only 10 points!"

Amid the passionate shouts of Hubie Brown, Link stepped to the free throw line.

His expression remained unchanged, and no one knew what he was thinking or planning.

No one knows how much courage he has in his heart!

He withstood the tremendous pressure, took a deep breath, and then slowly threw the ball.

"brush!"

The basketball hit the net and Link successfully hit four points, narrowing the point difference to 10 points!

It only took Link 5 seconds to complete all this.

Some frustrated fans began to become a little restless, and they discovered that Link's state in the last moments was indeed a bit exciting.

But on the Clippers side, Doc Rivers is still confident.

A 10-point lead in 32 seconds, well, there's more to come.

Any team leading by 10 points in the last 32 seconds will not feel much pressure.

Singing and humming songs, and discussing what to eat for midnight snack is the top priority.

But just seconds later, Rivers realized he was wrong.
