Nine Hundred and Forty-Three: Death Is Coming

Link stood on the free throw line, like a grim reaper carrying a scythe.

All the people in Auckland were dumbfounded. It was hard for them to believe that the 21-point gap had been filled in like this. It's also hard to believe that despite Klay Thompson's incredible performance, the Grizzlies are still resisting tenaciously until now.

What’s even more unimaginable is that less than a minute ago, Klay Thompson, who scored 49 points, was the highest scorer in the game. But now, dozens of seconds later, he is no longer there.

"Link scored 8 points in a row. His score in this game has reached 50 points, surpassing Klay Thompson! This is the second time this season that Link has scored more than 50 points in a single game! And Link also If he has to make free throws, his score will go up!"

Mark Jackson felt like his scalp was numb. Tens of seconds ago, when Klay Thompson hit the crucial three-pointer, Mark Jackson concluded that the Warriors would definitely win.

At that time, no one would have thought that Link could hit a three-pointer against Green's defense. He can use an incredible "save" action to steal the basketball, and he can continuously play with Green and Bogut to get 2+1 scoring opportunities.

Bogut is very upset now. Ever since he was brutally dunked by Link today, he has been holding back a fire in his heart.

And this fire has not been able to be vented until now.

Throughout today's game, Bogut did not complete even one successful defense against Link.

At the last critical moment, Link was given a 2+1.

Bogut blames himself very much, and also hates Link very much.

If it weren't for that number 0, this would have been a perfect game...

From players to commentators to fans, everyone on the Warriors is very nervous right now.

At the same time, they were all shrouded in fear created by Link.

Previously, everyone believed that Link would continue to be weak at critical moments. But it turns out that when it comes time to be tough, Link never slacks off.

For most players, critical moment excellence is just an occasional flash in the pan.

But for Link, weakness at the critical moment was short-lived. As long as he plays normally, he can always create magic at critical moments!

In this atmosphere of fear, Link took a free throw after adjusting his breathing.

The fans in the Oracle Arena hoped that the basketball would be rejected by the basket, but unfortunately, it backfired.

The basketball hit the net without even touching the rim.

111 to 111, the Grizzlies evened the score for the first time in the game! Link also scored his 51st point of the game, suppressing the amazing Klay Thompson!

Steve Kerr immediately paused and arranged the final attack of the game. The rapid whistle further increased the tension at the scene.

Everyone was panicking, except Link and his teammates.

"God, you are God!" Iguodala rushed forward and touched Link's chest. Even though he had been teammates with Link for several years, Iguodala was still not immune to Link's magic.

"Link, we will win, right? We will win!" Jimmy Butler hugged Link directly. The young tough defender felt like he had been saved.

"Of course Jimmy, when we take the lead for the first time in this game, that's when we win!" Link said, touching Butler's head.

Being able to be trusted and admired by everyone... I have to say that Link quite likes this feeling.

Now, the game ends with 26 seconds left. The answer left for the Grizzlies is very simple. If they defend and attack well at the end, they can keep the first place in the Western Conference.

Preserve the glory that belongs to Memphis.

Of course, accomplishing this task is not simple. 26 seconds is enough for Cole to plan a perfect offense for the Warriors.

The Warriors' performance at critical moments is actually not bad at all. They have many points that can end the game. If the Grizzlies didn't defend well after going up, everything would be in vain.

But the Grizzlies will not be afraid of any challenge now. At least in terms of morale, they are no longer at a disadvantage.

Even the Grizzlies' current morale is slightly higher than that of the Warriors. After all, the 9-0 wave just now allowed the Grizzlies to climb up from the cliff.

Anything that doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

This sentence is not nonsense.

This time, Joger first deployed a defensive tactic. He instructed everyone to strictly mark man-to-man and implement a strategy of unlimited defense changes. No matter what, make sure the Warriors players have defenders in front of them.

As for the offense, after the defense is successful, Joger will call a timeout to arrange it specifically.

The game started quickly and the fans felt like they were almost out of breath.

We have already won 66 games, why is it still so difficult to win first place in the Western Conference...

The Warriors players all looked nervous. In comparison, the Grizzlies were more relaxed.

From the moment the Warriors served the inbound ball, the Grizzlies put tremendous pressure on them.

It is not easy for Warriors players to successfully send the ball out.

In the end, Green could only pass the ball hastily before the violation, and the target of the pass was Curry.

Link surged forward behind Curry and stabbed the basketball. But fortunately, Curry reacted quickly enough and immediately ran up to control the basketball. Only then did he have the ball in his hands without any danger.

Then Curry started stalling for time. Obviously, the Warriors will not leave the Grizzlies a chance to counterattack.

There are now 26 seconds left in the game. The cleaner the Warriors use up the time, the safer it will be.

Time passed by minute by second, but the Grizzlies' formation was rock solid, without a single gap.

The longer time passed, the more panicked the Warriors players became.

With 8 seconds left in the attack time, Curry moved! At the same time, Klay Thompson also began to move without the ball.

He first moved from the right to the left. During this period, Draymond Green also set up an off-ball screen for Thompson.

But the moment Butler and Green were entangled, Thompson immediately ran back and returned to the three-point line on the right!

Klay Thompson is definitely a top scorer without the ball, not only because of his accurate shooting, but also because of his superb running skills without the ball.

His counter movement is enough to keep him out of reach of most opponents.

Seeing this situation, Curry passed the ball to Thompson in time. Today, Kerr did not let Curry and Link go head-to-head. Therefore, the last attack was assigned to Thompson, who was in superb condition today!

Thompson caught the basketball and thought it was an opportunity to seal his throat with a sword. But before he could aim at the basket, he was entangled by Butler!

"Jimmy Butler rushed back immediately, and his defense was impeccable! He blocked Thompson, and Thompson could only take a step back and force a shot amid the interference!"

As soon as Mark Jackson finished speaking on the commentary table, the basketball hit the side of the basket with a "dong" sound.

Klay Thompson missed a shot at the last minute!

The Buddha's light failed to continue to shine, and Thompson failed to continue his magic.

Marc Gasol struggled to grab a defensive rebound under Bogut's dirty tug, and at the same time, Dave Joerger called timeout.

The Grizzlies defense was successful!

"No..." Steve Kerr fell to the bench.

Although the two sides are now tied, the time left for the Grizzlies is only 1.8 seconds.

But Kerr knows it's still not safe for the Warriors. Because the killer on the Grizzlies side is more cold-blooded than Klay Thompson!

Link walked off the court, and the live cameras gave him a close-up.

Now, the initiative is entirely in the hands of Grizzly Bear and Link.

The 20 seconds of the Grizzlies' last timeout were the most difficult 20 seconds for Warriors fans.

These 20 seconds were extremely long, because every second, they lived in fear.

When the electronic buzzer sounded and the Grizzlies players reappeared, the entire Oracle Arena was silent.

They know that the best killer in the world is coming to punish them!

Gianna sat on the sidelines, not daring to express her anger. The man next to her had a faint smile on his face.

It was a perfect match for him.

Link looked at the fearful expressions of Warriors fans and even some Warriors players, and felt very proud.

The enemy's fear seems to be Link's food. The more scared they are, the more excited Link becomes.

Link stepped onto the court, looked at the solemn-looking Green beside him, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, you know what? You look so funny when you're scared."

After that, the whistle sounded, and Link used a reverse run to get rid of Green and received Gasol's exquisite sideline pass.

1.8 seconds, in most people's eyes, this means that you have to take a shot after catching the ball. But from Link's point of view, this means there is still time to dribble!

Even if it was only 1.8 seconds, Link still remained calm and calm. This is his big heart!

After receiving the basketball on the right side of the three-point line, Link took a step and then shot directly.

While drifting, Link's body was leaning extremely backward, which made Green unable to block Link's shot.

When Kobe saw this scene on the court, it felt like a lifetime ago.

He closed his eyes, and then heard the beautiful sound.

"brush!"

"Beep~~~~~~"

Time ran out and the basketball hit the net.

The dagger Link held tightly in his hand was now inserted into the warrior's chest.
