Nine Hundred and Seventy-Nine: Seems to Be Dead

Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals between the Grizzlies and the Warriors is considered by fans to be the most exciting Western Conference Finals in recent years.

The gorgeous confrontation between the five small lineups is already very exciting, not to mention that the fourth quarter of this game is full of variables of one kind or another.

The Warriors' desperate counterattack in the last quarter and Link's perfect defense in the last minute.

And, Vince Carter's regretful shot from the left corner 14 years later.

Every point of this game left fans with endless memories, and they couldn't help but watch the video replay of the last quarter of the game over and over again.

Especially Grizzlies fans, for them, winning this game is simply an honor.

But the morning after the game, a piece of news officially released by the Grizzlies instantly wiped out their good mood.

"Link was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of the first costal cartilage, and his return date has not yet been determined."

A simple sentence caused the entire alliance to explode. At the same time, it also plunged the entire Memphis into panic.

"Link is on an indefinite hiatus? Are you kidding me? Didn't he insist on finishing the game yesterday?"

"Fractured first costal cartilage? God, how did he finish the game yesterday after the injury!?"

"This is not Draymond Green's first masterpiece. The league should ban such vile and despicable players from participating."

"I have to say that this is really a huge blow to the Grizzlies, and I hope they can maintain their advantage."

On the Internet, Grizzlies fans seemed very anxious. The Warriors' official website and Draymond Green's social media were instantly flooded with angry fans.

Due to pressure, Green even had to temporarily close the message area of ​​his social media.

This may be what is called being drowned in saliva.

In addition to fans, many well-known figures in the basketball world have also expressed their opinions on this time.

The most indignant people are Stephen A. Smith and Bill Simmons. The former said without hesitation in his show, "Draymond Green is a criminal, even on the competitive sports field. , you can’t hurt people maliciously! Before the game, he shouted to make Link look good. As you all saw, this is his only fucking method!"

Bill Simmons, a guy who has always had a vicious tongue, even called Green "a very bad player from the inside out" on social media.

Kobe was also very disappointed with the incident, and her daughter Gianna wished Link a speedy recovery on social media.

Link's indefinite truce affects the hearts of the entire alliance. Except for Warriors fans, almost everyone despised Green's behavior.

But Draymond Green has never been a person who cares about these voices. He knows his role in the team very well. He has been used to hearing these curses during the regular season.

In every era, there are always a few bad guys in the NBA. Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, Ron Artest who played from the one position to the audience...

None of these guys are good men, and they were also angrily criticized by the media and fans back then.

But so what? They have still become a beautiful sight in the history of the league.

He became someone who will be missed by fans in the future.

The jersey of Bruce Bowen, the master of malicious hurt, is even hanging above the ATT Center!

Green knew very well that he was the same type of person as them. He doesn't demand the likes of others. The only thing he is interested in is gaining an advantage for his team.

And such players, even if they are spurned by the outside world, will be loved by their own fans.

Link's injury undoubtedly makes the Warriors' promotion prospects brighter.

For Green, that was enough.

Praise, flowers, applause... Green doesn't need these things. The only thing he desires is victory, even if it is victory by any means necessary.

Therefore, even though the outside world has sprayed Green into a hornet's nest, Green has not been affected at all.

He still comes to the gym to train leisurely and is still full of desire for the next game.

He was even a little proud.

A tough guy like Link fell under his iron elbow. For Green, this was an honor.

On the other side, in the Grizzlies training facility, everyone was a little worried.

Today, Link was unable to participate in training.

After getting up in the morning, Link found that the pain in his chest had not gone away, but was even more severe than yesterday.

Now he couldn't make any big movements. If he moved his upper body even a little, the burning and stinging sensation would begin to torture Link's nerves, let alone play basketball.

At this time, Link could only wear a thick protective gear and "watch" the battle in the training hall. Moon was right, this kind of pain was not something that could be tolerated casually.

"Damn Draymond Green, I really want to tear him into pieces." Next to Link, Randolph, who was also unable to play due to injury, said through gritted teeth.

"I want to too...but now I want to recover as soon as possible." Link looked at the exaggeratedly thick pad on his chest and sighed.

On the training ground, Qiaogel and others were already prepared to compete without Link and prepared for the worst.

The tactics they are training now are all based on the assumption that Link cannot play.

However, it is not completely impossible for Link to participate. Although it was announced that he would be on an indefinite hiatus, under Link's strong request, Munn still allowed Link to play.

As long as Link's condition has not gotten worse after checking again tomorrow, Moon will allow Link to play.

Although this injury is not serious, one advantage is that it is not easy to be injured again. As long as it's properly protected, there's basically no problem.

If there is really no sign of Link's injury getting worse, then the only thing Link needs to overcome is the pain!

Link feels like every second is passing in agony. He really wishes he could have a time machine and go directly to the moment when he gets the test results tomorrow.

On the Grizzlies side, everyone still has a glimmer of hope. But in the eyes of the outside world, the moment Link fell, it heralded the end of the series.

"There is no doubt that the Golden State Warriors will equalize the total score in the next game. And win the final victory."

In an ESPN program that night, many people believed that the Warriors had ended the game.

"Ending Link is the same as ending Grizzly. Although the Warriors' method of ending Link is despicable, I have to say that they did gain a huge advantage because of it!"

The importance of Link is self-evident. The impact of a superstar on a team is huge.

The Miami Heat were still one of the championship contenders last season, but after leaving James, they instantly became a mediocre playoff team.

The Indiana Pacers were still a strong player in the Eastern Conference last season, but without George this season, they didn't even make the playoffs!

A more typical example is this year's Thunder. The Oklahoma City Thunder have always been considered the Grizzlies' biggest enemy. As a result, once Durant can't play, the Thunder will be nothing.

There are countless teams that fall every year because of losing their stars.

With so many examples and facts in front of us, even the most optimistic person can hardly imagine that the Grizzlies can topple the Warriors without Link.

All of Memphis was plunged into great sorrow and indignation. Last night, they were still cheering for Carter's super kill.

But tonight, everyone was silent.

The dream of three consecutive championships seems to have been shattered...

The next day, early in the morning before the start of Game 4 of the series, Steve Kerr did not shy away from announcing victory in an interview.

"It's regrettable that Link was injured, but we will still go all out. We are ready to win, not just this game, but the entire series!"

Cole is now very confident about victory, and he is very fortunate that his team can gain such an advantage.

Now, all Oaklanders are waiting to see the Warriors counterattack. All Warriors players are ready to destroy the Grizzlies directly.

No matter which way you look at it, the grizzly bear seems dead!

At the same time, Link's latest injury report has also been released...
