Nine Hundred and Eighty-Four: The True Warrior
After Link completed a steal and a one-stop dunk, the Warriors were already 3 points behind the Grizzlies.
From the beginning, everyone on the Warriors was looking forward to a hearty victory. But I didn't expect that the situation would become so tense now.
Cole clenched his fists and sat on the bench. He had long lost the momentum he had when he said "we will win the entire series" in the morning.
Harrison Barnes didn't dare to act rashly anymore. In just one round, he was completely conquered by Link.
Now it is no longer a question of whether Barnes can beat Link, but whether he dares to fight Link.
Link's appearance made this game, which was already full of surprises, even more unpredictable.
At the same time, it also completely tilted the balance of victory.
After Link slashed Green's throat, Green became furious.
Originally, Green was somewhat complacent about knocking Link down with one elbow.
But now, when Link stood back up and challenged him, Green's sense of honor was instantly wiped out.
Green was so angry now that he couldn't bear to knock Link down with another elbow.
But Green knew very well that he no longer had that chance. The last time he did this, he had already attracted the attention of the league. If it happens again, it will be inevitable to be banned.
Moreover, the punishment will certainly not be too light.
Although Green wanted to kill Link, he didn't want to pay the price of suspension. If the Warriors can really win the championship, then he wants to be involved in every step of the process.
Besides, without Green, it's unclear whether the Warriors can win. Although Green is a bit conceited, he is indeed an indispensable member of the Warriors.
Now, Green can only endure it. Only by waiting on the defensive end could he get Link to calm down a little.
In this attack, the Warriors once again missed a good opportunity. Link's appearance boosted the morale of the Grizzlies players. On the defensive end, every Grizzlies player is like a lifeless beast.
The Warriors endured heavy collisions, which even made their off-ball movement less fluid than before.
In the end, Curry could only shoot against Dellavedova's rough and aggressive defense, but even for Curry, this kind of shot was too difficult.
Dellavedova has nothing else, but in terms of motivation, he is definitely no worse than anyone on the Grizzlies.
The basketball hit the neck of the basket, and the Warriors' offense failed again!
Draymond Green rushed into the paint and tried to get the offensive rebound from Harris' head.
But before Green rushed inside, Link was already in position and secured a favorable fighting position!
"boom!"
It was another fierce collision, and the intensity of the Western Conference finals was definitely not moderate.
Link gritted his teeth. His current physical condition made it very difficult for him to even get stuck to grab rebounds.
Moon is right, it won't be easy. Playing with an injury is much harder than people think.
Yao Ming in the 2009 Western Conference semifinals, Kobe Bryant who won the championship with two broken fingers, Nash who was devastated by back injuries but still shocked the world in Phoenix... God knows these people who played with injuries,
How did you persist in the first place?
But at least they have proven that as long as they grit their teeth and persevere, there will be nothing difficult to overcome.
They explained what it means to be a real warrior. Since they were able to do it before, why not now?
Link forgot about the pain again. He carried Green strongly, then jumped up and firmly protected the rebound.
Green reluctantly started to defend, but at this time, Link had already passed him with the ball.
"Concentrate and retreat quickly!" Cole was already shouting at the top of his lungs. He could not accept the point difference being further widened.
He knew better than anyone how serious the consequences would be if he lost this game.
However, the speed of Link's counterattack couldn't be stopped by Cole shouting.
The Grizzlies No. 0, wearing black protective gear under his jersey, quickly passed through the crowd. Midway, Klay Thompson tried to force Link to slow down, but Link made a change of direction that barely slowed down and passed him by.
Link is like a wild horse galloping on the grassland. Behind him is a group of lions chasing him.
Almost everyone on the Warriors team gathered towards Link, and they were all trying their best to stop this guy who clearly shouldn't be here.
As a result, the other four members of the Grizzlies team were completely left empty handed.
In the process of advancing quickly, Link suddenly stretched the ball to the right, but the next second, the basketball was passed to the left side opposite to Link's line of sight.
Another no-look pass, and the Warriors' defense was completely toyed by Link.
Carter, who had just made a buzzer-beating shot in the left corner in the last game, once again received the basketball at that position. Link's pass was very comfortable. He knew that Carter was most confident in the left corner, so he immediately The ball was passed.
Carter didn't need to adjust at all after receiving the basketball, he just shot!
As a result, the Warriors fans in Oracle Arena recalled the nightmare they had just experienced the night before yesterday.
Carter's shot from the left corner went straight into the net, and the three-pointer hit the net!
The Grizzlies' counterattack was simply unstoppable, and Link's assist gave the Grizzlies a 6-point lead!
"It's 6 points, Steve Cole's timeout has no effect. In front of Link, all his plans seem to have come to nothing. Link staged the hero's return drama, although it is cliché, but every time It’s so exciting!”
Link looked up at the big screen and saw that there was only a little time left before the end of the first quarter. He will fight to let the Grizzlies gain a double-digit lead before the end of the first quarter!
"What a fucking bastard!" Green was very unwilling. He really couldn't accept that his team was weighed down by a broken guy and couldn't hold his head up.
This time, Green set up a screen for Curry. But when the screen was set, Curry did not shoot, but quickly hit the ball to Green who cut inside.
Harris hurriedly chased after him, but Green waved his hand and blocked Harris behind him.
At this time, Green only had eyes for the basket. He just wants to score, no one can stop him!
At the same time, Link started from the bottom corner and rushed into the penalty area. Everyone held their breath, everyone knew that this would be a collision like Mars hitting the Earth!
Green saw Link rushing towards him from the side, but he had no intention of slowing down.
If the two sides really collided in the air, both of them would definitely fall on their backs.
Green knew that Link could catch up with him, but he didn't believe that Link would really dare to do so!
Everyone can be afraid, and Link is no exception!
Green took off on one foot, clutched the basketball with his right hand, and flew toward the basket.
Link, who came from the bottom corner, did not give in. He raised his long arm in the air and aimed at the basketball in Green's hand.
In terms of athletic ability, Green cannot be compared to Link. Therefore, Link quickly suppressed Green at height. He pressed the basketball in Green's hand and then exerted force!
Green was not willing to give up easily, and he was still competing with Link in the air. Both of them had lost focus, but neither of them planned to give up.
In the end, Link's strength overwhelmed Green and pushed the basketball in his hand toward the backboard.
After the shot was blocked, the enemies both fell to the ground and fell on their backs.
"The referee didn't blow the whistle. He thought Link touched the basketball first. He thought it was a good risk! Link taught Draymond Green a lesson. He didn't let that guy do whatever he wanted in the three-second zone! "
Dellavedova grabbed the out-of-control basketball, and the Grizzlies fought back again!
And what about Green and Link? Both of them seemed to have suffered a serious fall. After all, they did not protect each other in the air, nor did either side save effort.
Every collision between Link and Green is destined to be quite intense. This is a truly head-to-head aerial confrontation.
Green lay on the ground and quickly got up. He really couldn't believe that Link actually dared to rush up and stop him so desperately when his fracture was not healed!
He knew that his chance just now was not good, and he was betting that Link would not dare to do this.
But it turned out that he lost the bet.
Green has always thought that he is the most ruthless person in the league, but today, he saw someone even more ruthless!
A truly ruthless person is not only merciless to his enemies, but also merciless to himself!
Where's Link? He knelt on one knee, with one hand on the ground and the other covering his chest.
The severe pain was burning him, preventing him from getting up as quickly as before.
But he finally got through it, stood up again, and continued to fight!
Link ran across half court and just received Dellavedova's pass one step beyond the three-point line.
Without hesitation, this Grizzlies No. 0 pulled up and shot. He seemed okay, as if Green was the only one who had just fallen hard.
Green's block was half a beat too late, but he knew it was irreversible.
"brush!"
The sound of the net rolling sounded, and Link raised his shooting right arm high and stood on the floor of the Oracle Arena.
The score difference becomes 9 points. In just one more round, Link can achieve his goal!
Just after he fell heavily, he immediately ran over to join the attack and even threw the ball in...
Can Link really be knocked out?
This question that Cole has always been unwilling to face echoed in his mind again.
