Two Hundred and Seventy-Three: Little Secrets that Will Not Be Revealed

After Link hit two free throws, Popovich immediately used the last timeout in his hand.

At the same time, Hollins hurried onto the court, walked over to Link, who was limping, and asked about his condition.

"It's just a cramp, it's fine." Link waved his hand. He has always been concerned about his health, so he wouldn't joke about this kind of thing.

"Now, go to the locker room to check. Don't worry, we will be able to hold the last 16 seconds." Hollins finished, calling for the team doctor to bring Link back to the player tunnel.

"Yeah, don't worry, we will defend the last 16 seconds with our lives!" Jimmy Butler walked up to Link and patted his chest.

At this time, Butler had great admiration and respect for Link. Butler sees everything he does on the court. Link fought to the end to gain a 5-point advantage, and he couldn't lose anything!

Link nodded, of course he trusted his coach and teammates. If even they were untrustworthy, who could he trust?

"Come back, I'll be waiting for you in the locker room to celebrate the victory." Link made a joke to everyone, then followed the team doctor into the player tunnel.

Suddenly, all the cameras on the scene were aimed at Link, and he became the focus of everyone's attention today. It is because of him that this game will be played at this moment.

"Link walked back to the tunnel. He didn't know what happened to the drive and layup just now. Although he insisted on making two free throws, he still walked off the court at this time. If the Grizzlies won today, he would be Deserved best of the game. Although he only has 10 points in the account, although he is even less than Splitter. But there is no doubt that without him, there is no key lead for the Grizzlies! I hope Link does not It's a big deal, because if he's injured, the NBA will be a little less beautiful."

Cole has been fanned by Link's strength today. At first, Cole just thought that kid was very powerful. But today, Link's fighting spirit really left a deep impression on Kerr.

Since the second quarter of the game, Link has been running and never stopped. He was thinking about driving for a layup until the last moment.

This perseverance is destined for him to grow into a great player!

There are many types of potential, some players bounce well, some players are lightning fast. Some are tall and arm-length, while others are as strong as bulls. But people with these talents are not necessarily successful.

What about Clink? That guy works hard and has great perseverance.

Not everyone has this talent.

In the last 16 seconds, the disenchanted Spurs did not score again. The Grizzlies managed to defend to the end, and they kept the fruits of Link's victory.

89 to 84, the Memphis Grizzlies successfully bit down the San Antonio Spurs in a hard back-to-back battle on the road! It broke the embarrassing record of invincible against the Spurs this season, and also broke the curse of inability to win a winning streak.

This is the first straight win for the Grizzlies since January 23!

"The game is over, after a lot of hard work, the Grizzlies finally beat the old rival Spurs! It was a hard-won victory, neither side scored high, as both teams were contained with meat grinder defenses. But in the end, the Grizzlies persisted to the end! Let us congratulate the Memphis Grizzlies, this is a great victory for them!" Although this is the home of the Spurs, Kerr still couldn't help it. Praise the Grizzlies.

No way, the Grizzlies are really respectable today. It's a pity that the guy who made this victory single-handedly can't dance with his teammates on the court at this time.

Looking at the red light on the backboard, Popovich felt very helpless. Parker had 21 points and 7 assists, Duncan had 19 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks! The team made 7 of 16 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%. From star to individual, the Spurs' numbers don't look bad. But in the end, they were the losers.

Link, Popovich believes this is the only reason the Spurs lost today.

After a while, a lot of reporters came to Popovich. The old man had a straight face, obviously wanting to tell the reporters that I'm in a bad mood today, so don't mess with me.

But there were a few who were not afraid to put the microphone to Popovich's mouth and asked some questions that obviously made Popovich more angry.

"Pop, the Spurs played very well in this game, but they still lost, what do you think?"

"Me? Stand on the sidelines and watch."

reporter:"......"

"How would you rate Tim Duncan's performance? Did his five blocks exceed your expectations?"

"I don't find anything that guy does out of the blue, like going to the Grizzlies to warm up in the halftime and getting left out."

"Pfft!" The reporters almost couldn't help laughing out loud, Popovich's mouth evasion skills are absolutely top-notch.

"So, how do you comment on Link's performance today? He scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks. Today is the all-around triple-double he has achieved this season. Three triple-doubles! Although he didn't score many points, he caused a lot of trouble for the Spurs on the defensive end today. People say that Link caused the Spurs' loss today, what do you think?"

When the reporter asked this question, Popovich's expression became significantly more serious. Just when everyone was about to hear how Popovich would make fun of Link, the old man became serious.

"Link, don't mention the name, I have a headache just mentioning him. I must admit, he messed up my offensive setup. Without him, our offense would have gone very well. I've never seen anything like him. A player who runs from corner to corner, from half to half. Never stops, never tires, whatever it takes! He is a formidable opponent and he deserves this victory.”

After that, Popovich turned and left, walking back to the player tunnel.

The reporters were all stunned, but Popovich rarely praised his opponent so straightforwardly! Unless, he is really strong enough to make Popovich admire countless people.

It appears that Link has more than impressed fans, reporters and commentators. Even Popovich was convinced by him.

Popovich walked in the tunnel, still thinking about today's game in his mind. When interviewed by reporters just now, Popovich actually had a word that he didn't say.

"How do you rate Link? He once terrified me. Every time I saw the look in his eyes, he was standing in front of the ball handler, and he was showing his teeth and claws, I would feel a chill running down my back. I would feel, Maybe that kid might actually eat us..."

Popovich still remembers that feeling deeply. Still, it's going to be a little secret he'll never reveal...

On the other hand, the Grizzlies happily rushed into the locker room, ready to celebrate with Link this hard-won victory.

But after entering the locker room, everyone found that there was no one there. Finally, the guys found Link in the physiotherapy room.

But after finding Link, there were no Grizzlies players playing, and Randolph, the "King of Kids", even took the initiative to signal everyone to go out and change clothes quietly.

At this time, the exhausted Link has fallen asleep peacefully under the massage of the physiotherapist's legs...
