Seven Hundred and Eighty-Two: 1.4 Seconds to Grab Back (Four K)

Gregg Popovich really wants to hug Danny Green for a kiss right now.

That guy looks like a superstar today!

Danny Green saved the Spurs at two crucial moments in the first and second half. Without Green, the Spurs might have completely lost control of the situation by the end of the first half.

Without Green, the Spurs couldn't take a 2-point lead at the crucial moment of the last 182 seconds of the game!

Popovich felt like he was winning, and the San Antonio Spurs were about to become the first team to beat the Grizzlies in the playoffs this season!

After this game, the gdp combination will also top the NBA's history of trio playoff victories with a record of 111 postseason victories!

Today is destined to be a legendary night for the Spurs. Link, who made 1 of 8 three-pointers, couldn't change anything!

Now, Popovich only has two things to think about. First, how to defend the last 182 seconds. Second, how will the Spurs kill the game if the Grizzlies are going to tie the game by two points.

These two problems are simply a piece of cake for Popovich.

If Link feels hot today, Popovich will definitely be devastated. Because it is very unsafe to rely on 1-on-1 defense to deal with Link at a critical moment. In this way, Popovich must consider how to block Link without giving too much space to others.

But fortunately, Link's crosshair was probably lost at home today. Therefore, Popovich can use man-to-man defense with confidence and eliminate the possibility of any Grizzlies player taking an easy shot.

If the Grizzlies tie the game, Na Popovich will give Duncan and Green a set of tactics and two plans. At that point, the Spurs can kill the game with even one point. So, even if the Grizzlies tie the game, the Spurs are in the lead.

Popovich wins, he thinks he can't lose!

The revenge of the last game can finally be repaid in full today.

On the other hand, Dave Jogel is much tougher than Popovich. If the next round of offense fails to score, the Grizzlies can be completely finished. He has more and more complicated things to think about than Popovich.

It is not a good thing to be won by the opponent at home. If the Grizzlies lose their home-court advantage, God knows what else will happen in the next few games.

If it is placed on a normal day, Joger's pressure will not be so great. At the critical moment, all you need to do is to arrange tactics for Link.

But today, no one knows if Link will be able to take on the heavy lifting.

Link's performance today is still very good. So far, he has scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. He still played at a superstar level.

But Link's 29 points were basically shot down in the middle distance and the three-second zone. His 1-for-8 three-pointer feel is very unfavorable for the current situation.

Jogel knew that even if the Grizzlies closed the gap with two points, the odds were high. The best way is to hit a three-pointer directly.

But Link felt bad today,

Who's going to throw the final shot?

In addition to Link, Conley and Gasol are the two Grizzlies who have completed the most lore.

But considering the need to shoot a three-pointer in the end, Gasol is definitely not a choice. Although Gasol also has a three-point range, it's okay to occasionally hit a cold shot. It's really not suitable for the Spaniard to shoot a three-pointer at a desperate moment.

Gasol's lore, almost all completed in the basket. The lore beyond the three-point line is beyond Gasol's ability.

So at this time, Jogel has only one choice left.

"Link, I want Mike to take the final shot."

Jogel didn't have much time to think about it, so he made a quick decision. But before that, he had to discuss it with Link.

In the 1989 playoffs, before Jordan's classic "the shot", there was actually a little episode.

Then-Bulls coach Doug Collins knew that opponents would definitely go to great lengths to guard Jordan's final shot. So, he made a very responsible decision - to give the ball to center Colkin to lore.

As a result, Jordan roared at the coach and said that he needed the ball, which is why he later gave Jordan the ball and the classic lore shot.

Now, Jogel faces a similar situation. He, like Collins at the time, had to let players other than his star make the final shot.

But Jorge didn't want to have a conflict with Link, and he didn't want to yell at Link. Therefore, before arranging tactics, he deliberately sought Link's opinion.

Link paused for two seconds, then nodded.

He himself knew that Jorge was not distrusting himself. But right now, letting Conley take the final shot is the right thing to do.

Link doesn't want to embarrass Joger either. Everyone wants to help the team win, and it's all for the team. As long as you can win, what does it matter who the last shot goes to?

In the Western Conference finals between the Lakers and Spurs that year, Fisher completed the lore in 04 seconds. But even so, no one thinks Kobe and O'Neal are negligent.

Sometimes it is not necessarily a bad thing to hand the burden to players other than the star.

Joger saw Link nod, and quickly began to lay out tactics. All the pressure was on Conley's shoulders in an instant, and he was now about to play the 2004 Fisherman.

The match resumed, and the on-set camera gave Link a close-up of his face. For this last ball, everyone has no idea.

Will Link ever shoot? If Link shoots, can he make it?

These mysteries make the suspense of this game even more ups and downs.

Popovich is confidently on the sidelines with his arms crossed, and at FedEx Arena, only the Grizzlies can create magic. But Popovich still doesn't believe it, the Grizzlies can create magic every time!

Gasol sent a sideline ball, and Link began to move actively. Leonard posted it immediately, he didn't want to be defeated by Link again at the last moment.

However, Link is just a pretense. After he attracted the attention of the Spurs' defense, he helped Gasol pass the ball to Conley smoothly!

Conley got the ball and the Grizzlies pulled away. He's wasting time away from the 3-point line, and the Grizzlies are going to shoot a 3-pointer!

"Did it go all out?" Popovich smiled, and the Grizzlies chose to end the game with a one-ball decision.

The master firmly believes that the winner must be himself!

Conley only called for a screen when he held the ball from beyond the arc to the last 8 seconds.

The black and white bears are both raised, the horns stand, and double screens are set up.

Conley finally decided to break through to Gasol's side on the left, and at the same time, Link began to run 45° to the other side. Although he didn't take the final shot today, he was still a plan b option.

Moreover, his movement can also pull the Spurs' defense somewhat.

The Grizzlies' tactics were played, but the opportunity did not arise. Just as Conley bypassed the screen, Duncan went straight to it!

The Spurs chose to switch defenses directly, not giving the Grizzlies any space to shoot!

"Beautiful switch, Tim Duncan on Mike Conley! Although it was a dislocation, Conley couldn't use his speed advantage to break through. Because now the Grizzlies need a 3-pointer, the break won't do anything. !"

Hubby Brown felt his voice tremble. He didn't know if Link would catch the ball and shoot in the end.

Seeing that Duncan had switched defenses directly, Conley wanted to use left and right swings to find hand space.

But the calm Duncan was unimpressed at all, believing that he was tall enough to block any shot Conley made. As long as he doesn't shake, Conley is helpless!

Conley is really helpless, he wants to execute plan b, wants to give the ball to Link.

However, Leonard had completely covered Link at this time, and Conley's passing route was completely cut off!

With all the back roads blocked, Conley is now alone.

There was no other way, Conley had to choose a more secure way. He suddenly accelerated, trying to break through Duncan and get two points!

Although two points cannot kill the game, it can at least guarantee that the Grizzlies will not lose for the time being.

Conley accelerates the breakthrough, then makes a quick stop in the mid-range and takes a jump shot!

"Mike Conley shot, the Grizzlies really didn't choose Link! So, can Mike kill the game!?" Hubie Brown's heart was already in his throat, and Jogel made the most secure, but also The most dangerous decision.

Seeing that Conley made the final shot instead of Link, Popovich's mouth twitched.

The game is over!

After the breakthrough, Conley was about to make a move when he found that the picture in front of him was completely covered by a big hand!

Tim Duncan was not passed by Conley, he reached out in time to interfere with Conley's shot!

Duncan's steady stability for decades will not change even at a critical moment.

Conley's small fight was a complete failure!

In the end, Conley could only shoot when he could barely see the basket. Judging from the flight path, the basketball was crooked!

All Grizzlies fans closed their eyes, the first loss of this year's playoffs seems inevitable.

"Bang!" The basket rang crisply, and the basketball came out!

Mike Conley misses a key shot! He didn't create a Fischer-esque grassroots miracle!

The Spurs players are extremely happy, it turns out that they do have the ability to die with the Grizzlies. After winning this game, as long as the last two games are played well at home. Even if the Spurs want to turn the total score into 3 to 1, it is not impossible!

The Grizzlies have been the protagonists all season, and it's time to retire!

Diaw jumped up to grab the rebound. With seconds left in the game, he knew he would be fouled by the Grizzlies, so he was ready for a free throw when he took off.

However, for a moment, Dior felt that the time on the scene seemed to slow down.

He tried hard to reach the rebound, but he couldn't reach it, his body seemed to stop in the air.

After that, Dior felt pressure coming from his back, someone was fighting against him, and someone was fighting for rebounds with him behind him!

Dior reached out harder and he was about to grab the rebound! Just grab this rebound and the game is over!

But the man behind him stretched out a pair of arms! With incredible height and speed, before Dio, grabbed the rebound from behind him.

Dior is only a little short, but a little and a lot, there is no difference!

"It's Link! He grabbed the offensive rebound from behind Dio with his bouncing and speed! Oh my God! It's a total physical crush!"

Hubby Brown had already accepted the fact that the Grizzlies failed the moment Conley missed the shot. Who knows, the moment the basketball popped up, Link "flyed" into the air again.

He grabbed the offensive rebound from the height of Dior, who was stuck in a good position! At that moment, the entire Tennessee saw the dawn of hope again!

The most terrifying roller coaster in the world doesn't have this thrill.

Just as Link landed, the Grizzlies used their last timeout!

Dave Jogel didn't lose his mind or concede early. He paused just right, allowing the Grizzlies to regain the ball firmly in the final 14 seconds!

Jogel can become the best coach, but not only dipped in the record of the light ah.

"Good shot, beautiful offensive rebounds! Link saved the Memphis Grizzlies again, and he single-handedly pulled the Grizzlies back from the edge of the cliff! This is Link, even if he misses the shot, He can save the team in other ways too!"

Hubby Brown shouted with nearly 20,000 fans at the moment when the game was suspended.

Link's key rebound brought the Grizzlies back to life!

"Fuck!" Popovich kicked the chair behind him. Seeing victory in sight, Link actually grabbed the rebound!

Moreover, when Dior did not lose his position on the rebound, he abruptly scooped up the rebound by bouncing and speed.

The offensive rebound is still stolen by the opponent without making a mistake. This kind of ball is the most irritating!

The last 14 seconds may not be enough to bend over to tie a shoelace. But in basketball, 14 seconds can do a lot.

Popovich was nervous again, and it stands to reason that he is still the one who has the initiative. But for some reason, the old man felt very nervous.

That guy Link just saved the Grizzlies, so, in the last 14 seconds, will he push the Spurs down?

Popovich stared at Link, the knuckles in his hands turning white from the clenched fists.

Link walked off the court, frowning tightly. He forced the Grizzlies to get the final 14 seconds and an offensive opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it again.

So, the first thing Link did after he came off the court was to look up at Joger, and tell him firmly with his eyes.

"Next time, I'll do it. Give me the ball and I'll fix the game."

Link, who had only made 1 of 8 three-pointers before, gave Joger an unquestionable feeling.
