1332: Different from what people expected
The Grizzlies fans at the scene were very desperate. Although everyone knew that the Clippers were a difficult opponent, everyone knew that the Grizzlies had a very difficult time playing the Clippers in the regular season.
But they still believed in Link.
That guy is always able to create miracles again and again.
No one really thought the Grizzlies would lose.
But now, when Leonard ended the game with three key steals, everyone was stunned.
It's never been a rare thing for Link to end others at critical moments.
Looking at the Clippers players celebrating crazy on the court, the fans didn't know what expressions they should face.
Everyone was stunned and everyone was not mentally prepared.
Although they said they hoped that the Grizzlies would not sweep 4-0 again, they hoped that Link could play as many games as possible.
But when the Grizzlies really lost the game, they couldn't laugh.
In this way, the Grizzlies fell behind 0-1? In this way, the Grizzlies lost a home court?
The Federal Express Arena is dead, which is a very rare situation.
After all, including today's game, the Grizzlies have only lost eight games this season.
Grizzlies fans are the least used to losing.
Not to mention the fans, even Mr. Huby Brown did not react.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable!" After the game, Hubby Brown shouted in disbelief three times!
"Cavay Leonard was able to complete steals three times in a row. Speaking of which, the Western Conference semi-finals tiebreaker was finally over the last moment with his steal and blocking, and the Clippers completely ended the Lakers."
"He is one of the few players in the league who can change the game trend by relying on defense. It's so terrifying. Link undoubtedly encountered a strong opponent."
After Lao Hubi finished speaking, he realized that his shirt was soaked.
This cold and deserted game before the game was not vague at all.
The tranquility before the game and the intensity during the game form a sharp contrast.
This is Kavay Leonard and his Clippers, a group of speechless, but absolutely powerful warriors.
On the court, Link shook his head.
He has accepted the fact that this game has lost.
Leonard's defensive ability in the last moment is indeed very strong. If he has to face such a situation in the next game, he must be handled more cautiously.
Link was about to get out of the situation, but George came up and patted Link's arm.
"I know the last season is important to you, but we can't wait any longer, Link."
"I know, I understand you, George. The championship is important to anyone." Link nodded. Although George was his good friend, he never thought George would let go.
It's like he couldn't let George go.
"Don't be too sad, even without the championship this season, you are still a legend."
"Well, I'm not sad at all, George. Because, I haven't lost yet. I understand, but I don't expect you to understand me too." Link smiled and left George.
George looked at Link's back, and that guy was still the same stubborn.
But in George's opinion, Link was just a stubborn person.
George himself felt extremely happy about the strength shown by the Clippers today.
He could feel that he was getting closer to the O'Brien Cup!
When Link returned to the locker room, the locker room was dead.
No one talked, no one played. After Link walked in, the air in the locker room seemed to have frozen.
Everyone thought Link would be so angry that he punched the wooden door of the locker like he did four years ago.
Everyone knows that the mistakes in the last moment are really inappropriate. For Link in the last year of his career, even if he only takes a wrong step, he will definitely be very unwilling to accept it.
Jokic has even picked up his cell phone and is ready to call the logistics department to repair the cabinet at any time...
However, Link didn't lose his temper. He just took off his jersey and walked slowly to the closet and sat down.
"There are six games left in the game. I believe that those who want to give up after one game should not be here, right?"
After saying that, Link looked up and looked around the locker room.
"Yes, yes, we have continued to work hard, and we have never fought a turnaround." Conley also clapped his hands and agreed.
"Well, today I'll treat them with some care. Otherwise, the series will be too boring." Dillon Brooks also started to rub his hands.
After that, the sound in the locker room became louder and more complicated, and everyone seemed to have returned to their usual state.
The Memphis Grizzlies are not so easily knocked down.
※※※
The post-match press conference was quite lively, and the topic of this game was self-evident.
It seemed that the silence of both sides before the game was paving the way for the final outbreak.
Below, the reporters were already whispering noisy.
But Link on the stage was very calm and still held her hands.
"Today's press conference officially begins, and everyone can ask questions freely. The lady in the first row on the left." After the Grizzlies' press officer spoke, the reporters calmed down.
The female reporter who was named stood up and became the Xin Yuner today.
"Hello Link, I'm a reporter from the Memphis Evening Post. Did you expect the result of today's game?"
"If I could predict the future, I should be in the Avengers now. Unfortunately, Iron Man did not contact me, so I could only play honestly." Link shrugged, causing the reporters to burst into laughter.
The originally serious atmosphere was also broken by Link.
"You look relaxed, are you rare not to worry about your defeat tonight?" The second reporter stood up, but did not report to his house.
Generally speaking, these reporters are not local Memphis reporters because they are all afraid of being criticized by Link...
"What do I have to worry about? If we compare the series to a marathon, we just ran a hundred meters. The Clippers are amazing, they won beautifully today. But if they thought they could beat the defending champion at this level, then dream about it!"
Looking at Link's confident look, the reporters couldn't ask anything else.
In fact, many reporters present wanted to ask if Link was pretending to be calm.
But unfortunately, no one dared to say such things to Link.
If you are deliberately asking for scolding, that's another matter.
Seeing Link in such a relaxed state, the reporters suddenly couldn't ask many questions prepared by them.
"Are you sad?"
I still need to ask this? I can tell that Link is not very sad.
"Are you afraid that the Grizzlies' consecutive championships will be ended?"
Is Link worried now?
The press conference, which was originally highly anticipated by reporters, suddenly became boring.
Link looked at the reporters looking around and smiled with satisfaction.
He deliberately.
Everyone wants to see their annoyance, and everyone wants to see their tears in the press conference, watching them nervous, anxious, and fear.
But Link doesn't!
"There is nothing to ask, let's just end today's press conference." Seeing that the reporters couldn't fart for a long time, Link stood up and left the media reception room.
The reporters wanted to keep it, but then they thought, it seemed that they had nothing to ask about...
Walking out of the media reception room and closing the door, the "buzzing" sound behind Link disappeared instantly.
Link let out a big sigh and finally got rid of the demonic capture of those guys.
Does Link really care about the defeat in this game?
Of course not!
He did have anger, annoyance and even some tension, but most of these emotions just flashed by.
Link knew that it was useless to have emotions alone, and there was no need to convey these emotions to his teammates and the media.
Those are meaningless, the key is to see what to do later.
Thinking of this, Link looked at the only white wall in the player's passage that had not yet been painted with murals.
In any case, he does not intend to leave a gap in this player channel!
George said nothing more than I can't wait any longer...
As long as I am here, I have to wait if I don’t want to wait!
Chapter completed!
