Nine Hundred and Fifty-One: The Biggest Contender for MVP

On April 25, 2015, 18,000 fans cheered for their players at the New Orleans Arena.

On the court, Link and Anthony Davis fell to the ground one after another, fighting for a floor ball.

What surprised Davis was that Link was working as hard as he was

Even though the Grizzlies are now leading by more than 10 points, even though the total score of the series has now become 3-0, Link has not slacked off at all.

He didn't refuse to do the dirty work just because he was a superstar, nor did he relax because he was so far ahead.

Link and the Grizzlies are undoubtedly Davis's best teachers, allowing him to truly understand what the playoffs are.

In the playoffs, your opponent will seize every weakness of yours and hit you hard, until you feel pain, until you are unable to fight back, until the moment the game buzzer blows, and until they finally win. !

This is what Grizzly Bear and Link do, they will show no mercy as long as they go out to fight. Whether they are 10 points ahead or 10 points behind, they are equally bloodthirsty.

In the end, Link was the first to take the ball in his arms on the floor. Before he could get up, Link passed the ball to Mike Conley.

With Link's active and tough fighting, the Grizzlies got a chance to play fast break.

Conley breaks through at an extremely fast rate. He has been practicing for so long in the regular season just to unleash the greatest power in the playoffs.

He lived up to Link's expectations and succeeded in a quick layup.

After this goal, the Grizzlies led the Pelicans by 13 points. Once again, before the end of the half, the Grizzlies led the Pelicans by two digits!

"Link is definitely a player born for the championship. He explains to the world what a true superstar is! If you stand in Link's perspective, you may not even bother to compete with Anthony Davis. After all, Gray The Bears are far ahead, and even without this goal, the Grizzlies can still maintain the lead. But this is Link, he sends a message all the time - I want to win!"

On the commentary table, even the local New Orleans commentator was full of praise for Link.

No way, right now, the Pelicans really have no chance of winning the Grizzlies.

To be exact, the Pelicans have been killed since the intermission in Game 1 of the series.

In the game where Bill Simmons had his head shaved live, the Pelicans ultimately lost to the Grizzlies by 23 points. The Pelicans improved in the second game and "only" lost to the Grizzlies by 10 points...

In the last game, the Pelicans finally returned to their home court. This group of young people worked hard to win back a victory, and they did push themselves to the limit.

In the first three quarters, the Pelicans and Grizzlies played very anxiously. After three quarters, the Pelicans even led by 5 points!

Just when everyone thought Pelican might really be able to save face, Link appeared again with a scythe.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Link scored 17 points in a single quarter. He combined shots and sudden attacks and stunned Anthony Davis.

Maybe Davis was only thinking about one thing at that time, "How could there be such a guy in this world!?"

Under Link's superb performance, the Grizzlies scored 39 points in the fourth quarter and defeated the Pelicans in one fell swoop. They persisted for three whole quarters;

But it failed to withstand Link's crazy counterattack in the last 12 minutes.

In the end, the Grizzlies reversed course and won the game 123-108. Link scored 40 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. This was also the first time Link scored 40+ points in the playoffs this season.

When the Pelican thought they could create a miracle, Link just frowned and ruined them.

After the third game, the huge strength gap between the two sides has become very obvious. And the total score of 3-0 was enough to break the Pelicans' final fantasy.

Therefore, after Link made a little effort in the last game and killed the Pelicans who were in good condition. Today, no one thinks the Pelicans can win.

But even under such circumstances, Link was still fighting, still throwing himself to the ground bravely, and still not slacking off.

What he did undoubtedly completely closed the "window" of New Orleans, making the entire New Orleans bleak.

Davis rose from the ground, breathing heavily. Link beside him also stood up, but immediately retreated as if nothing was wrong.

Davis shook his head. The four games against Link made him set his sights higher.

It turns out that this is how the top stars in the world play...

Davis' first playoff trip was really an eye-opener for him.

In the second half, the Grizzlies still maintained their suppression of the Pelicans. The further back the Pelicans players played, the more absent-minded they became.

What does it mean to have no hope of victory? When you can't close the point difference to single digits even at your best, it's called a hopeless victory.

This life-and-death battle for the Pelicans was not as anxious as imagined. The Grizzlies had already replaced their main lineup in the last half of the quarter. But in the end, they still won the game 109 to 98, with a gap of 11 points.

The moment the electronic buzzer sounded, it meant that the Pelicans would not be able to narrow the point difference to single digits in any game. They were unable to fight back and lost 0-4!

"It's over. For the Pelicans players, this is undoubtedly a relief. Now, they can finally escape this devil's land and enjoy their vacation."

After the game, even the commentators were happy for the Pelicans players.

This kind of competition is really torturous...

After the game, Anthony Davis and Link hugged. Link said some comforting words and said goodbye.

Pelicans coach Monty Williams immediately accepted an interview with the media on the sidelines. Williams' face was filled with the word "helpless". He faced the camera and kept sighing.

"What can I say? They're probably the best team we've ever faced... They have no weaknesses."

"There is no weakness at all," is what Monty Williams said about the Grizzlies.

For a head coach to say something like this shows that he and his team are really powerless.

Grizzlies players were actually not very excited about winning the first round of the series. After all, this is a task that must be completed for them.

So after the promotion, everyone is generally relatively calm.

Link didn't talk much about the game at the post-game press conference, but kept saying good things about Davis.

But the reporters didn't gather here just to hear Link praise Anthony Davis.

"I'm glad that I don't have to face Anthony Davis again before next season starts. He is an amazing player. He can cause problems for opponents on both ends of the court and all over the court."

"With his skills, he is definitely not a guy to be trifled with. He deserves our high-standard defensive treatment."

"The opponent is very talented and makes me deal with it seriously every night."

Link rarely praises his opponents at press conferences. This only shows that Link does not regard Davis as a real opponent at all...

Just imagine, the Warriors and the Grizzlies are fighting now. Would Link praise Raymond Green so much?

With Link's character, it would be nice if he didn't curse.

Anyway, Link is the winner now. No matter how much he praises Anthony Davis, it has no meaning.

One reporter couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up with his hands raised and asked a question that ruined the atmosphere of victory.

"Link, as we all know, last season you became the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, which was an incredible achievement. But this year, it is generally believed that the competition for MVP is very fierce. Most of your votes have been taken by Take it away from Stephen Curry. Not only are you unable to be elected unanimously, but your MVP position is even in jeopardy. Do you think you can continue to win the MVP title this season? Do you have the confidence?"

As soon as the reporter's question came out, the press conference fell silent instantly.

This is completely a matter of which pot should not be opened!

Everyone has seen how strong Curry's performance is this season, and he is indeed one of the popular candidates for MVP.

Sure enough, when it came to Curry, Link stopped praising others. After all, Curry is his real opponent.

"If he is really that strong, then why hasn't he won the Best of the Month award once? I'm hoping someone can cause me trouble, because my budget for expanding my showroom is already a bit low."

Link responded to the reporter confidently, not shying away from showing off.

Grab MVP? Curry is a little less interesting this season.
