One Thousand One Hundred and Four: The Warriors’ Most Humiliating Player
No one could have imagined that the Grizzlies could actually complete a 16-point comeback without Gasol!
Moreover, it wasn’t just a one or two point reversal, it was a direct reversal of 10 points!
The Warriors' performance in the fourth quarter was terrible compared to the Grizzlies.
No matter Curry, Thompson, Durant or Green, there is no way to maintain extremely high efficiency in the fourth quarter like Link and Randolph.
At this time, all Warriors fans are in despair. They are just one step away from tying the Grizzlies' record, and just one step away from winning the game.
Just one step away from announcing the return of the reigning champion.
But instead of taking this step, they were beaten to pieces by the grizzly bear's claws.
At this time, even Mark Jackson had to use his compliments on Link.
"Beautiful, the Grizzlies' characteristics of being calm and making no mistakes make them the most dangerous team in the fourth quarter! And such characteristics of the Grizzlies come from Link. Under his guidance, the Grizzlies always Can change the outcome of the game in the fourth quarter!"
"Not all stars in this world have excellent critical-turn ability. Even superstars such as Karl Malone, Chris Webber, and Patrick Ewing all have the problem of weakness at critical moments."
"Think about it, it's ridiculous when Chris Webber spends the last three minutes of the game thinking about how to pass the ball. However, you will never see this kind of thing with Link. The key is He is never absent from time to time!”
Mark Jackson was impressed by Link's ability to control the court. Of course, he also praised the depth of the Grizzlies' lineup.
It's incredible that taking out Randolph, who spends most of his time waving a towel on the bench, can have a miraculous effect.
Many people think that Grizzly Bear is powerful because Link is powerful. However, the Grizzlies have a depth that many other teams cannot match.
Randolph was like the league's famous key player Robert Horry today. For most of the game, they seemed to disappear. But once the team needs them to stand up, they are duty-bound!
Indeed, the Grizzlies are not a multi-giant team. With full play and full budget, the only superstar in his prime is Link.
Conley, Gasol and others are at best considered All-Stars.
Wade is indeed a generational superstar, but he has passed his peak.
Such a team seems to have no competitiveness in today's era of three or four superstars playing together.
But the reasonable structure of the Grizzlies' lineup exceeds many people's imagination.
Facts have proved that piling up superstars is not the best way to achieve the goal.
Building a suitable team around a core is the correct way to develop basketball.
Think about it, if Link is separated from the Grizzlies, can they still dominate the league?
But without Durant, the Warriors are still a powerhouse in the Western Conference.
The Grizzlies' lineup is not the most luxurious, but together they are the most powerful!
The Warriors are now completely panicked, falling behind by 10 points in less than three minutes. This is completely hell!
Link's action of tearing apart the Warriors' championship banner just now angered countless fans at the scene. If the Warriors cannot reverse the situation, the fans' anger will have nowhere to go.
However, how easy is it to reverse a 10-point deficit against the Grizzlies?
If there was still one quarter left in the game, the Warriors might actually be able to do it. Unfortunately, there are only more than two minutes left in the game.
Pachulia rubbed his ribs. He regretted it very much now!
He finally knew what "the league's number one is not easy to mess with" meant.
The elbow that Link gave when he fell to the ground was simply vicious!
Pachulia can't complain about this. After all, he was the first to be vicious.
After the game restarted, the Warriors tried to organize a counterattack, hoping to continue the smooth offense they had in the third quarter.
It's a pity that both sides are no longer five small lineups. It is almost impossible to replicate the smooth offense of a small lineup.
Moreover, Warriors players now have no way to pass the ball as patiently as they did in the third quarter.
From Durant to Curry, they all seem very impatient.
Suddenly being overtaken by the opponent by so many points, there was not much time left in the game.
It's hard for anyone to stay calm in a situation like this.
What's more, Durant threatened to repay Link twice as much! Just now, he even said this to Link himself.
In fact, if the Warriors win the game, even if Durant does not double his return, people will not blame him too much. After all, the winner is the biggest.
But if he loses the game directly, Durant can't even imagine what kind of bloody storm he will face.
At this time, he is definitely the most eager and impatient player in the Warriors! Because if he loses, he will be the most humiliated!
Durant frantically wanted to use three-pointers to solve the problem. Everyone knew that the best option to chase points in a short period of time was three-pointers.
So, he took action without completely getting rid of Link's defense.
But this kind of gambling shot will not bring any good results.
The basketball knocked out of the frame again due to Link's interference. The Warriors' three-pointers in the fourth quarter were still 0!
Cole on the sidelines was very anxious, and Draymond Green on the court also yelled at Durant for the second time.
Durant suddenly felt like he was being attacked from both sides. On the one hand, he was betraying the trust of his teammates and coaches.
On the other hand, there was no way he could defeat Link.
He felt like he had never struggled so hard, caught between teammates and opponents.
After Durant's three-pointer, the Grizzlies began to delay as much time as possible.
Conley kept dribbling in place after halftime, and the Grizzlies didn't start attacking until the last 8 seconds.
Obviously, the Grizzlies are more concerned about whether they can run out 24 seconds than whether they can score.
It would be even more perfect if he could score even after 24 seconds had expired.
And Link did this perfectly.
Under Durant's defense, Link used a step-back mid-range shot to score the ball at the buzzer.
Not even a second was left in 24 seconds, and the Grizzlies successfully continued to widen the point difference.
At that moment, Durant didn't even dare to look up at the audience.
He didn't want to face the fans' disappointment and accusations.
Until the end of the game, the Warriors did not mount a decent counterattack.
Although Curry started scoring consecutively at the last moment, it was too late.
More than two minutes later, electronic buzzers, accompanied by sighs from Warriors fans, filled Oracle Arena.
Warriors fans are extremely painful at this time, because they once saw the hope of winning.
The cruelest thing is not to kill the opponent directly, but to give the opponent hope and then destroy it with your own hands!
"128 to 119, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Warriors on the road for the second time this season! They have also become the only team so far this season that can complete a double-play against the Warriors! Congratulations to the Grizzlies, Congratulations to Link . Their tenacious fighting spirit and outstanding performance definitely deserve such a victory!"
As soon as the game ended, Mark Jackson raised his arms and cheered.
As the former coach of the Warriors, it is impossible to say that Mark Jackson has no feelings for the Warriors. As long as there is a game with the Warriors, Mark Jackson will more or less favor the Warriors.
But today, even Mark Jackson couldn't help but start cheering for the Grizzlies.
Because of their performance and tenacity, it’s really hard not to like them!
"What were you doing just now? Why didn't you pass the ball? Where are our tactics!?"
After the game, Draymond Green started yelling angrily.
Of course not to Link, but to Durant.
The scene of the two arguing was naturally captured by reporters' cameras. There is no doubt that this will become a hot topic among fans!
Durant didn't say a word, ignored the irritable Green, and walked into the tunnel.
Today, KD scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, but his shooting percentage was only 41.7%, and he was 1 of 6 from beyond the three-point line.
Link scored a triple-double of 31 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, his eighth triple-double this season.
At the same time, it also ended the Grizzlies' two-game losing streak.
Link's score today is not too explosive, because Randolph, Conley and others shared a lot of scoring pressure for Link.
Randolph only played a little more than one quarter and scored 14 points, which can be said to be quite efficient.
But even so, even if Link's data today is not very explosive, he has already completely defeated Durant.
Durant's so-called double return has completely turned into a joke!
Before Link could finish enjoying the scolding battle between Green and Durant, he found himself surrounded by reporters.
Before reporters could ask questions, Link pointed at Durant at the reporters.
"Don't look for me anymore. You should go and ask him if he is going to pay me back three times next time."
Link smiled very happily, not because Durant was humiliated.
It's his career plan. After experiencing two unexpected losses in Los Angeles, he finally took the first solid step.
