Three Hundred and Thirty: Give You One More Five

At the start of the fourth quarter, George Karl got a message from the team doctor.

Afflalo couldn't return to the court today. Although he was fine, he had 11 stitches for the big gash on his head...

After Afflalo's head hit the bench first, he hit George Karl later. In addition to 11 stitches, according to league regulations, Afflalo must also participate in a complicated concussion test.

These are very likely, so Efflalo will continue to miss the next game.

George Karl nodded slightly after listening to the team doctor's report, expressing his understanding. What surprised the team doctor was that Karl didn't yell...

I really can't scold anymore, Efflalo is injured, and the Nuggets are now 15 points behind, George Karl really can't scold.

Throughout the game, the Nuggets were suppressed miserably by the Grizzlies. The offense of the Nuggets is always sporadic, unable to organize an effective counterattack.

On the Grizzlies side, they played steadily, maintaining a point difference of around 15 points with an impregnable defense.

In this game, putting aside those messy elements, it is not difficult to see that there is still a clear gap in strength between the two teams.

The Nuggets rely on team basketball, and the regular season may still work. But in the playoffs, it's really impossible not to have a final figure.

While George Karl was still regretting, there was a burst of cheers from the stands behind him.

Carl looked up and Link grabbed another offensive rebound.

"Beautiful tip-up, Marc Gasol stuck McGee, and Link seized the opportunity to tip-up and score. 22 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, Link averaged 20+5+5 in the regular season After the statistics, he also continued his outstanding performance in the playoffs."

Old Carl looked up at the data on the big screen, only to find that Link's data had really become 20+5+5.

Fortunately, he didn't tell the media the words "If that guy can get 20+5+5 in the playoffs, I'll eat his leather shoes." Otherwise, old Carl would have a good time tonight.

Thinking of Link, a deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout George Karl's body.

He can be said to be omnipotent against Link today. From Afflalo at the beginning, to Harrington and Brewer later...George Karl used several people to defend He used many methods to contain him.

The results of it? Link still played with ease.

So far, the Nuggets have fallen behind by 17 points. But George Karl did not pause, after all, the game had just begun in the fourth quarter.

This nightmarish fourth quarter is estimated to be very long.

※※※

Link fought very hard today. From the first quarter when he forced Koufos hard, Link left the Nuggets players with the impression of "do not die".

Although only a sophomore, Link seems to know what the playoffs are like better than any other veteran player.

Link didn't take a step-by-step process, and went straight to full fire in the first game of the playoffs.

At this time, there are only four minutes left before the end of the game, and the point difference is still 15 points. Hollins has decided that if this round is won again, he will replace the main lineup and declare the game into garbage time.

Ty Lawson, who was holding the ball and organizing the offense on the Nuggets side, had lost his temper, and his drive was obviously not as strong as in the first half.

This time, he didn't even have the desire to attack independently, but called for cover, wanting to make cakes for his teammates inside.

Faried comes to cover, an extremely athletic power forward who likes to pick-and-roll alley-oops, similar to Griffin.

Parrying Conley, Faried cuts in. This very "brutal" forward from appearance to ability will never lack enthusiasm, even when the team is 15 points behind.

Lawson then tossed the ball up, and Faried saw the timing and jumped high.

However, Lawson did not pass the ball well. Not too high, but passed too low! With Faried's athletic ability, he can't actually make a mistake no matter how high the pass is.

A low pass will indeed make it easier for offensive players to catch it, but it will also make it easier for defensive players to grab it!

Before Farid caught the basketball in the air, the "orc" suddenly went dark, and a black shadow blocked all the lights and blocked his way to catch the ball.

Farid could see nothing but the back of a figure with a big zero written on it.

"I made an alley-oop error and the basketball was directly confiscated by Link. This is Link's fifth steal today. He used his enthusiasm to get these statistics."

It stands to reason that with Link's current athletic ability, he has no chance of winning the high-altitude ball with Faried. But there is no way, Lawson's mentality has been broken, this pass is really bad, and Link, who is extremely focused, caught him right.

After Link steals the ball to Conley, Conley assists Tony Allen for an easy layup. The point difference became 17 points again, George Karl was suspended, and Hollins let all the substitute players play, and the game officially entered garbage time!

Before Link left the field, he compared 1 with his left hand and 5 with his right hand against George Karl, and the total was 15.

George Karl didn't know what Link meant at first, but after a few seconds, he realized it.

5+5+5 is 15. Link not only scored 20+5+5 data today, but also scored 20+5+5+5 data!

With 25 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, Link did not respond to George Karl's provocation before the game.

But today, he gave it all back at once!

George Karl sighed, he suddenly realized that he couldn't get angry.

After being beaten like this by others, where is the capital to be angry?

In the last few minutes of the game, the performance of the Nuggets did not improve. In the end, the score was fixed at 103 to 88. The Grizzlies beat the Denver Nuggets by 15 points at home.

For the first time in the history of the team, they won the first victory in the playoffs this season.

After the game, Link, who won the all-around data, became the favorite of the reporters. The playoffs are a stage of fame, and the playoffs never lack attention.

As long as you can win, everything is yours.

But unexpectedly, George Karl's popularity today is comparable to Link's. After the game, Karl also received much attention and popularity. It's just that Link is proud, while Carl's face is full of embarrassment.

"Afflalo had 11 stitches, that's all I know now."

"What do you think of this game? We lost by 15 points, I don't want to discuss this matter."

"Of course I still think we're going to win, but it's going to be tough for sure."

It was rare for old Karl not to get angry at the media today, he really couldn't lose his temper. Now he just wants to go back to the locker room and stay calm by himself.

Being ridden on the head by a second-year rookie, old Karl couldn't help but wonder if his own era had come to an end...

"So now, do you still think that the core of the Grizzlies is a soft guy? Today, he made the Nuggets in a very embarrassing situation." Finally, a local reporter in Memphis tore off the last fig leaf of old Carl.

"I can only say that there are not many players in the league as tough as Link. I must admit that I underestimated him."

All the reporters opened their mouths in surprise. When will Old Carl admit his opponent?

Perhaps it was when Link's data became 20+5+5+5 that old Karl was completely convinced.
