One Thousand One Hundred and Eight: Still Able to Score Goals

The Air Canada Center has not been as busy as it is today in a while.

All fans are cheering and shouting for the Raptors.

They didn't have much hope that the Raptors could knock off the Grizzlies, who were in the midst of a seven-game winning streak, but this unexpected surprise made them even more excited.

Indeed, today's Grizzlies are completely out of shape and cannot even exert 80% of their strength.

Indeed, the Grizzlies did not have their star player Link today, and the low temperature in Toronto made it difficult for him to move.

But these are not important. As long as the Raptors can win, it will be a real victory.

The league will not deny this victory because the Grizzlies lack their stars or play back-to-back games.

The 18-point advantage at halftime made Raptors fans sigh.

If nothing else, their four-game losing streak will end here. They will also regain the first place in the Eastern Conference.

Judging from the current situation of the Grizzlies, they simply do not have the ability to reverse 18 points.

If Link were here, an 18-point reversal might not be unbelievable.

But with Link gone and the Grizzlies still in a sluggish state, Toronto fans believe that 18 points is safe enough for the Raptors.

"This is definitely a surprising game. No one thought that the Grizzlies would be the ones being pressed to the ground and being rubbed. But they have indeed been exhausted recently, and they have been playing against strong opponents continuously, which has accelerated their physical loss. .”

The on-site commentator looked at the Grizzlies' first half data and could only describe it as horrific.

After one half of the Grizzlies, only Gasol scored in double figures. This is obviously not their true level.

"The Grizzlies might just give up in the second half. This game is too difficult for them. Besides, even if they lose this game, they are still No. 1 in the Western Conference."

The two commentators unanimously concluded that the Grizzlies had no chance of winning.

However, Link and Grizzly's desire is not just to be number one in the Western Conference...

Being first in the Western Conference, isn't that the most basic thing? Not even considered a target.

Soon, the second half of the game began and players from both sides returned to the court.

Before taking the court, DeRozan and Lowry fist bumped each other.

They had just decided in the locker room that they would completely open the score in the third quarter!

Although the Grizzlies were exhausted today, they still did not dare to slack off.

Last season's Eastern Conference Finals gave the Raptors a taste of the power of James and the Cavaliers. The Raptors passed all the way and came to the Cavaliers. They thought they could have a good showdown with James.

As everyone knows, their result was that they were easily eliminated by the Cavaliers 4-2.

However, even a guy as strong as James has never won a series against the Grizzlies! We all know how terrifying Link and Grizzly are.

Therefore, the Raptors dare not slack off at all. Even if they are already 18 points ahead, they must go all out and not give the Grizzlies any chance to come back to life!

However, when the Grizzlies players took the field, everyone in the Air Canada Center was stunned.

From fans to Raptors players, everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't close their jaws.

Because they saw that Link, who had not played a single second of playing time in the first half, actually stepped onto the court at this time!

"What!? Link is back!? What is going on!?" The commentator on the scene also looked confused. He had never seen anything like this before!

Playing while sick is not uncommon, but generally if a player decides to play while sick, he will play from the beginning.

But what about Link? His behavior on the bench in the first half proved that he actually did not intend to play today, and the Grizzlies seemed to have no plan to let him play.

But now, Link suddenly changed his mind.

The commentator immediately looked through the official injury list and found that Link was not on it! In other words, Link has not appeared on the injured list from beginning to end.

Theoretically, he can indeed appear suddenly!

"Link actually played in the second half of the game. It's unbelievable! If Link's fever is really to the point where he can't play, then he must be quite reluctant now! I don't know why Coach Joger did this. Maybe he wanted to use Link Want to take a gamble? But can a Link with a high fever really help the Grizzlies reverse an 18-point deficit?"

To be honest, it’s not just the on-site commentary that’s confusing. When Link just mentioned in the locker room that he wanted to return to the court, Jorge was confused.

At first, Link told him that he could be replaced if the situation went wrong, but Qiaogel didn't take it seriously.

Little did they know, Link was serious!

Of course, Joger knows what it feels like to have a fever. Playing basketball with a fever or playing an NBA-level game is something Joger really can't imagine.

Indeed, the examples of Jordan and Dirk are still talked about today. But the reason why they are talked about is precisely because they have accomplished extremely incredible things!

You can't say that Kobe once scored 81 points in a single game, which means everyone can follow suit and do it.

However, Link's attitude was very firm. He said that he only needed one game to try.

If he cannot lead the team closer to the score in the third quarter, then he will sit back on the bench.

But if Link can effectively narrow the point difference in the third quarter, then he will go all out to win!

Qiaogel finally agreed, he had no choice at all.

If Link was forced to the bench, he would definitely be very worried.

So, he gave Link a chance, a chance to play a game.

As for whether there will be a follow-up, that depends on Link himself.

"Be careful, don't force it, don't let yourself get hurt. Our goal is the championship, remember?" Jorge specially warned Link before he came on the stage.

"Well, I know which one is more important, so don't worry. But if I can effectively reduce the score, you have to keep your promise and don't leave me on the bench."

After saying that, Link turned around and stepped into the court. Just by stepping onto the court, he had already reduced the cheers by half!

There is only one player in the entire league who can bring such terrifying intimidation! He is just like Jordan in the 1990s, everyone's nightmare.

Link took a deep breath. He still felt dizzy and his body was still a little weak.

But just watching the team being slaughtered like this, Link was even more unwilling to do so.

No matter what, the score difference must be narrowed in this quarter!

"Damn, what are you doing!?" Lowry, who was confidently fist bumping with DeRozan just now, saw Link's appearance, and his expression changed instantly.

"It doesn't matter, he still has a high fever." DeRozan responded expressionlessly. Of course he knew how powerful Link was. But if Link's high fever is real, then his strength will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Trailing by 18 points at halftime is not a small gap.

What's more, Raptors No. 3 DeMarre Carroll is also a defensive warrior.

In the 14-15 season, Carroll became famous for his outstanding effectiveness in defending James in the playoffs.

So in the summer of 2015, the Raptors paid a high salary to sign Carroll just to deal with James in the playoffs.

Now, it shouldn't be a problem for Carol to deal with a feverish Link.

The game started in this shocking atmosphere. The Grizzlies attacked first, and Carroll began to pester Link near the midfield line.

He could clearly feel that Link's confrontation today was soft and not as inspiring as before.

Link also instantly felt as if Carol had turned into James, and it was very difficult to fight against him.

But soon, Jokic's off-ball screen came up.

Link is not the kind of person who relies solely on physical fitness to play basketball!

A tacit off-ball screen allowed Link to shake off Carroll and run to the top of the three-point arc to receive Conley's pass.

The moment he caught the basketball, Link took off and shot without hesitation!

Although his head was spinning, shooting had become Link's muscle memory. Even when he has a fever, he can naturally make the most standard shooting movements.

Carol rushed over, but Link's attack speed was so fast that he had no time to interfere.

However, after throwing the ball, Link was knocked down by Carroll who flew towards him.

But at the moment when Link's butt blossomed, he heard the beautiful note of the rolling net.

"brush!"

"A three-pointer. Link made a beautiful three-pointer as soon as he came up! God, he can't really reverse the game in such a situation, can he!?"

Although still leading by 15 points, Raptors players and fans were in extreme panic at this time.

Link's three-pointer is still so accurate!

Wade hurriedly came up to help Link, and Link smiled reluctantly.

Although the ball was scored, I have to say that it was really hard to play with a fever.

But...he can still score, can't he?

Link's confidence has soared. Does he want the Grizzlies' seven-game losing streak to stop here?

No, not tonight!
