Nine Hundred and Forty-Four: Stepping over the Bloody Corpse

Link floated a fadeaway jumper from the right side of the mid-range, finishing the final blow over the terrified Green.

The basketball almost hit the net as the backboard glowed red.

After time ran out, there was dead silence in the Oracle Arena.

People were staring at the swaying net in a daze, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.

On the big screen at the scene, the score became 113 to 111, with the away team in front and the home team in behind.

This was the first time the Grizzlies took the lead in this game, and their score exceeded the Warriors for the first time.

And it was this only lead that allowed them to win the game!

After Link saw the basketball enter the net, he raised his right arm high and pointed a finger to sign the number "one".

One, Link killed the Golden State Warriors with his last ball.

1. The Grizzlies worked together to overcome the difficulties and fill the big hole.

Of course, this one also means first in the Western Conference.

Link's shot not only allowed the Grizzlies to win the game, but also completely shattered the Warriors' dream of winning first place in the Western Conference.

After this game, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by two games. As for the regular season, there is only the last game left.

In other words, even if the Grizzlies lose the last game and the Warriors win the last game, they will still be behind the Grizzlies!

66 wins, second in the Western Conference... This is absolutely a shame.

People say that second place is the biggest loser. What's more, he is a second-place finisher with an outstanding record.

After Link completed the winning goal, the Grizzlies players all rushed forward and surrounded Link.

Although Link was "swamped" by his teammates, he never lowered his raised arms.

Being No. 1 in the West is Link's bragging rights. Of course, this will also make Warriors players and fans heartbroken.

He wants this "one" to stand above the Oracle Arena forever!

Next to the Grizzlies players who were hugging each other excitedly, Draymond Green covered his head with his hands. He couldn't believe that he actually let Link complete the buzzer-beater.

Not only was the game a winner, Link's 53 points in a single game today also disgraced Green.

People say Green will become one of the best defensive players of this era. But he allowed his opponent to score 53 points in a single game, and in the most critical last minute, he allowed his opponent to score 11 points in a row and finally killed the game. This is not the performance of an excellent defensive player.

Now, Green's mind is filled with what Link said, "You should ask, why am I better than you, better than you, better than you..."

Klay Thompson stared blankly at the big screen, with his hands on his hips and a dull look on his face.

He still couldn't accept the outcome of this game.

37 points in the half, 6 three-pointers in a row in the second quarter, 49 points in the game!

Klay Thompson's performance today can definitely be regarded as one of the best performances of his career. He once gave the Warriors a 21-point lead at halftime. His personal points were far ahead, more than anyone present.

In the past, as long as Thompson could perform like this, the Warriors could basically defeat their opponents in three quarters, without exception!

But today, Link undoubtedly taught Klay Thompson a good lesson.

It was the first time that Thompson encountered an opponent that he could not defeat even if he performed like this, which shocked him.

He had reached his limit, but he still couldn't win, still couldn't surpass Link.

This sense of frustration instantly took over Thompson's heart.

Stephen Curry spit out his braces and held them in his mouth.

The sunny smile of the past is no longer on his face.

Before the game, the joy and excitement when he was shooting in the tunnel were in stark contrast to the current bleak atmosphere.

The "elementary student" only scored 18 points today. He was restricted by Link and had a hard time getting opportunities. Most of the team's points came from Thompson.

This season, Curry, who has performed magically, has been suppressed by Link more than once. It can be said that Link is the only player in the league that Curry has not defeated.

Curry's magical aura disappears every time he encounters Link.

Today, watching Link fight back in the second half, Curry could do nothing. This feeling of powerlessness made Curry feel very depressed.

He realized that he was not yet a successful leader, a true superstar.

Mark Jackson completely slumped in his chair. A minute ago, as the former coach of the Warriors, he was very sure that the Warriors would win today.

But now, the final result of the game is very different from what Mark Jackson expected.

Mark Jackson fell into self-doubt. He really couldn't figure out how Link could persevere when the Warriors had done so perfectly in all aspects.

Finally, Mark Jackson figured out one thing.

It is always the players who control the game!

No matter how good the plan is, no matter how perfect the situation is, those are just external factors.

What can really influence the outcome of a game is the players.

Mark Jackson sighed, and he seemed to have found the reason why he was replaced by Cole.

From fans to commentators to players, everyone on the Warriors was stunned by Link's last shot.

A 21-point lead was reversed. This kind of thing is uncomfortable for anyone. What's more, they also lost the opportunity to compete for first place in the Western Conference.

Reporters waited on the court for a long time before the Grizzlies players were finally willing to release Link from their arms.

But before Link could take a breath, he was pestered by reporters again.

"Link, this is undoubtedly a great game! 53 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, a 21-point reversal, and a 1.8-second buzzer beater! 11 points in a minute, and an incredible steal... ..Can you tell me how you feel now? How do you feel?"

The reporter excitedly raised the topic to Link's lips.

Link was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently. But his expression was very calm, as if this was a plain victory.

"I don't feel anything, because I have already said that I will step over their bloody corpses. This is the result I expected. I just completed my plan, that's all." After finishing speaking, Link shrugged. Shrugging, then heading to the sideline.

Under such a wonderful performance, Link's confidence, calmness and calmness are chilling.

As if he could perform like this at any time...

Link didn't think too much. He was busy interacting with his two "special fans" at this time.

※※※

At the post-game press conference, the media room at Oracle Arena was noisy.

"Coach Kerr, where do you think the Warriors lost today?"

"Steve, how are you feeling right now? How are the Warriors players feeling?"

"If you meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, can you win?"

"Are the Grizzlies really invincible? Why didn't the Warriors last until the end?"

The reporters were completely out of order and kept asking questions.

Cole, with messy hair, sat on the stage and looked at the commotion below without saying a word.

Kerr himself was actually hit hard. He and his players worked hard all year and broke the best record in team history.

The results of it? They were just a ridiculous second place!

Just like today, they were far ahead and everyone thought they would defeat the league's hegemon and stand on top of the world.

The results of it? They are still losers.

This kind of frustration of being just one step away from success is incomparable to any other failure.

And all of this is because of that number 0.

Cole then approached the microphone and coughed twice.

The venue fell silent instantly, and everyone stared at Cole, waiting for his speech.

"We lost. In today's game, we always fed Thompson the ball without thinking. This led to a lot of mistakes, which led to us not leading by 30 points."

At this point, Col paused, then shook his head helplessly.

"We could have solved this problem, but we arrogantly thought that everything was under control. As a result, you have all seen that we were punished by our arrogance. Facts have proved that a 21-point gap is nothing in front of Link. fart!"

After speaking, Cole turned and left the media room.

He said everything he wanted to say, and he didn't think he lost to the Grizzlies.

But for Link, he felt that he had lost completely...
