Nine Hundred and Seventy-Four: This Is the Best Defensive Player

"Link stood up again and seemed fine! What is this? This is the real warrior! Where is Draymond Green? He is not worthy of the team name in front of his jersey!"

Mike Breen has always been a very neutral commentator, but this time, he couldn't help but complain about Green.

Injuries are the enemy of all professional athletes and fans.

Therefore, Green's malicious elbow made him the enemy of all athletes and fans!

The game restarted and Link executed Green's technical foul free throw.

Everyone agreed that Link would definitely score the goal, but to everyone's surprise, Link's free throw actually hit the edge of the basket!

"Fuck!" Link gritted his teeth, and his chest began to feel severe pain again when he shot.

After a while of relief, the pain was not that intense when I was still. But when I move, the pain is unbearable!

Pain is actually a trivial matter. The key is that once the pain occurs, Link's shooting will be greatly affected! The free throw just now is proof.

Link knew that the matter was more serious than he thought. Indeed, rib injuries will not affect a player's career. After all, it's not as important here as places like your ankles, knees, Achilles tendons, and shoulders.

But there is no doubt that this will affect Link's status in this game and even the entire series. The third consecutive championship is as important to Link's career as ankles, knees and Achilles tendons!

In the last few rounds of the third quarter, Link did not score. In addition to missing the free throw just now, he also missed a pull-up jump shot in motion.

Therefore, in the end, the Warriors managed to close the difference to single digits before the fourth quarter.

They entered the fourth quarter with a 9-point disadvantage.

Although the Warriors have not found any clues so far, Link knows that it is impossible to hide this matter.

He must respond in advance before the Warriors make targeted arrangements for him.

So, during this break, Link told Jorge and his teammates about the situation.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Cole obviously found that the Grizzlies' shots were spread out a lot. Link no longer attacked the Warriors' defense as he pleased in the first three quarters. The Grizzlies' offense instantly turned into a Spurs-style team offense.

Link can still score goals, but there are fewer difficult goals, and the shooting rate has also dropped a bit compared to the previous three quarters.

Although even so, Link is still the Grizzlies' most threatening offensive point. But there is no doubt that this is an opportunity for the Warriors to chase points!

After all, the Warriors are the most efficient offensive team in the league. Even if Link's offense is only slightly worse than before, it will be difficult to overpower the Warriors.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides fought fiercely. Without Link's nearly invincible scoring point, the Grizzlies' offense has become much weaker.

The Warriors, on the other hand, worked hard to catch up.

Qiaogel couldn't ask Link to do better. It was even hard for him to imagine how Link could persist in the game despite the unbearable pain.

But competitive sports are ruthless, and the Warriors will not show mercy just because Link is injured.

Finally, in the last minute of the fourth quarter, Klay Thompson's jump layup allowed the Warriors to finally equalize the score!

The Grizzlies lasted 47 minutes, but were bitten by the Warriors in the last minute.

"The score was evened. The Warriors played very tenaciously in the fourth quarter! Coach Joger stopped the game. We don't know what Link's condition is now. But it's obvious that Link's offensive power is not as strong as in the first three quarters. ! At the last minute, let’s see what the Grizzlies do!”

Mike Breen's palms were sweating after watching this. He really didn't want to see the tenacious Grizzlies be overturned at the last moment.

Although he still remained neutral with his mouth, his heart had long been towards the grizzly bear.

Link was holding his chest on the bench, grinning, the severe pain was tormenting him.

It's not like Joger never thought of replacing Link altogether, but even now Link is still the Grizzlies' strongest player. There is no reason to take off the team's strongest player at such a critical moment.

So, after the timeout, Link still appeared on the scene in the last minute of the game.

He knows that he may not be able to create another miracle on the offensive end today. But he will do whatever he can to give others the chance to kill the game!

Link appears again this time, and his task is to defend!

The best defensive player, ready to devote all his energy to the defensive end!

"The game restarted and Link was still on the court. So far, we don't know the details of Link's injury. But judging from his performance in the fourth quarter, Link was still affected to some extent."

As Mike Breen spoke, the Grizzlies launched their first wave of offense.

This time, Tobias Harris turned over and shot a jumper over Barnes. But unfortunately, the shot failed to hit, and the entire Oracle Arena started to churn!

But soon, the cheers of Warriors fans turned into sighs. Because Curry's three-point shot after rapid advancement was interfered by Link in time!

Link retreated very quickly and chased Curry almost the moment Harris missed the shot.

Fortunately, Link was present. If Curry had made that three-pointer, Joger would have been really at a loss.

The Grizzlies counterattacked quickly, but still failed to score. Butler forced his way into the frame, but Livingston was equally determined and did not let Butler succeed.

This time, Green did not make a long pass from the backcourt after grabbing the rebound, but instead suppressed the rhythm.

The Warriors want to control time and make the final attack!

There were 27 seconds left on the clock, and the Warriors did not intend to leave any time for the Grizzlies. Now that Link's offensive threat is reduced, it means that as long as the Warriors score this last goal, they can basically guarantee victory!

Cole still doesn't believe that Link can still drift for 1.8 seconds to kill in today's state!

Curry controlled the rhythm from beyond the three-point line, waiting for the seconds to pass.

Every time the game hits the critical moment, Grizzly and Link always win. Today, Curry is going to beat Link at a critical moment!

When there were 8 seconds left on the clock, Curry started, and he used Green's screen to rush into the penalty area!

Green did not regret injuring Link in the third quarter. This time the pick-and-roll was still not clean and Green took the initiative to knock down Conley hard.

But the referee did not blow the whistle. It must be said that Green is indeed a master at hiding small moves.

As a result, Curry was able to break away from Conley and break through quickly. Although Harris switched defenses immediately, his footsteps were naturally not as good as Curry's.

Curry drove into the penalty area and was about to make a layup.

Link rushed over in time, it was the only thing he could do now!

Curry was secretly happy when he saw Link rushing towards him!

In fact, he is not the end of this game. His task is only to attract Link to defend. The real end point today is Klay Thompson, another person in the "Splash Brothers"!

At this time, Thompson got rid of Butler through an off-ball screen at the perfect time and got into position in the right corner!

Curry and Thompson's timing was perfect. As soon as Thompson was in position, Curry passed the ball!

"Curry attracted the defense, he broke through and scored the ball! Klay Thompson got an open shot opportunity, can he kill the game!?" Mike Breen's scalp was numb when he saw the Warriors' last attack. The tactics were executed perfectly!

Being able to get an open shot at the decisive moment is not something that every team has the ability to execute tactics like this!

The moment Curry passed the ball, Link turned his gun and rushed towards Thompson.

But even so, Link is still too far away from Thompson. When Thompson took the shot, Link was still in the middle of the three-second zone and the bottom corner.

Thompson succeeded in taking the shot, and Cole was already standing up, ready to rush into the field at any time!

Link jumped up with all his strength, his eyes fixed on the basketball in the air.

There was a sharp pain in his ribs again, but he couldn't care less. He insisted on finishing this quarter, not just to stay and watch the Warriors players celebrate their victory!

Link stretched out his long arms and kept rising upwards.

Cole's expression changed from a smile to a frown.

Logically speaking, there is no threat at all when Link jumps to block shots from such a distance.

But the height of Link's jump was very scary. It seemed as if the basketball couldn't get past Link's fingers...

"No...it's impossible." Cole's heart instantly cooled down. In the next second, Link slapped the basketball flying in mid-air out of the baseline at an incredible height.

After Link completed the block, Link flew past Thompson. From Cole's perspective, Link seemed to fly directly over Thompson's head...

"This guy, he can fly!" Next to Cole, assistant coach Luke Walton screamed.

"Link actually completed the block, he saved the Memphis Grizzlies! God, he did it, he blocked the ball abruptly two steps away from Thompson! Link used his incredible With his bounce and determination, he shattered the warrior’s victory with one palm!”

Mike Breen stood up instantly. This was the most incredible block he had ever seen in his life!

If you want to block a shot, the most necessary condition is to stay in front of the shooter.

And just now, the opportunity Thompson got can be regarded as a big open space!

But Link told everyone with his actual actions that under his defense, no distance is safe!

All Warriors fans covered their heads, they couldn't believe what they just saw. A wide-open shot was suddenly blocked by Link. This was simply too scary and unnatural!

In the last minute, he repeatedly played excellent defense, but failed to let the Warriors score even 1 point.

When the best defensive player devotes all his attention to the defensive end, the results are terrible.

Where's Link? After landing, he was not excited, but still very serious.

He knows very well that the game is not over yet, and the Grizzlies haven't won yet. Next, the ball still belongs to the Warriors, and the Grizzlies have not yet landed safely.

After Thompson was blocked, Cole used the last timeout to arrange the final attack.

Link went straight to Carter, the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage on the Grizzlies today.

In the eyes of others, if the Grizzlies can drag the game into overtime in the last 3.1 seconds, it is considered a victory. But Link didn't think so, just like he didn't think his defense had failed just now.

He not only wants to prevent the Warriors from scoring, he also wants to kill the game!

"I will grab the ball later, and I will get the last shot. But the last shot today is not safe for me." Link didn't waste time and started talking as soon as he walked onto the bench. . As he spoke, he covered his painful ribs.

"So, today we need another person to step forward and seize the opportunity!" Qiaogel instantly understood what Link meant. After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Carter.

"Vince, left corner, I know you must be ready. I'll grab the ball and you help me throw it in, okay?" Seeing that Joger was also preparing to hand over the final attack to Carter, Link put his hand on the "Old Flying Man"'s shoulder.

Carter really waited for his second chance after 14 years.
