"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to espn! I am Mike Brin, and Kevin Harlan is sitting next to me. Today we will bring you the commentary on this game!"

Espn sent their ace commentary group to Memphis today, which shows how much attention this game has attracted. Originally, the competition for fifth place in the West on the last day of the regular season was already lively enough, and Kenyon Martin kept adding fuel to it, which undoubtedly made the game even more popular.

"This is a battle between dark horses and dark horses. Before trading Anthony this season, the Denver Nuggets have been spinning in the bottom six in the West, and even fell out of the top eight at one time. But since trading Anthony, they immediately got back on track and won fifth place after the All-Star. Of course, the Memphis Grizzlies are even more exaggerated. More than ten days ago, they were still eighth in the West. But now, they have rushed to sixth in the West. Originally, it was already a victory for the Grizzlies to be able to enter the playoffs with eighth place. But now, everyone in the Grizzlies want to do more."

Before the game started, Mike Bryn introduced the situation of these two teams to everyone. Both teams are of the type that have a bad start but have accumulated strength.

"Yes, yes, the sudden rise of the Grizzlies and the Nuggets completely disrupted the situation in the West. The fifth position in the West is very important for both the Nuggets and the Grizzlies. After all, no one wants to meet the defending champion in the first round, and no one wants to meet the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. It seems that the inexperienced Oklahoma City Thunder is more favored by the Nuggets and the Grizzlies. Of course, the Thunder is naturally not a weak team, but they can still let the Grizzlies and the Nuggets see a glimmer of hope. Therefore, this game is likely to directly determine how far the Grizzlies and the Nuggets can go this season."

After Mike Bryn and Kevin Harlan introduced the game, players from both sides also stepped onto the court and the game was ready to begin.

The scene shot gave Martin and Link a close-up with "malicious intentions". Kenyon Martin was very excited today and looked eager to try. Link was very calm, as if he didn't care about Martin's pre-game remarks at all.

"I don't know what sparks Kenyon Martin will make with Link today. To be honest, Kenyon's comments before the game are indeed a bit inappropriate. His words are not very beautiful." On the commentary stage, Kevin Harlan also complained about Martin. He really doesn't understand what a veteran is competing with a rookie. What's more, there was no personal grudge between Martin and Link before.

Martin personally doesn’t like others, just know it yourself, but he’s so low that he just said it out.

"It's true. Many people asked Kenyon. Martin to apologize to Link. Martin's remarks even annoyed many Asian groups in the Nuggets. However, so far, Martin has not given any reply. We don't know if he wants to reply to Link on the basketball court. However, Martin and Link are not in opposition to each other today. I think they shouldn't have any conflicts."

After Mike Bryn said that, the referee threw the ball high. Gasol Jr. took the lead in winning the basketball. This game 82nd game that determined the fate of the Grizzlies' playoffs officially began!

Link was very active. His running had put pressure on Nuggets small forward Wilson Chandler from the first round. Link also had to admit that Wilson Chandler's defense was much better than Anthony.

Whether it is motivation, toughness or defensive skills, Chandler is above Anthony.

Conley took the ball outside the three-point line, and Randolph immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball. The Big Black Bears planned to contract the Grizzlies' first offense!

After Randolph took the ball, he began to sit back with his solid body. He wanted to force Martin to eat at the low post!

Martin was able to break through the outside line by relying on athletic ability to defend and break through at his peak, but low-level defense has never been his strength. This is quite like Marcus Camby, the Nuggets' last best defensive player.

But now, Martin has lost his ability to run and jump on his survival, so it is naturally difficult to resist Randolph's attack. Randolph forced himself to turn around, forced Martin away and turned to the basket, and then easily hooked and scored.

After scoring the goal, Randolph also hammered Martin in his chest as a warning. Martin gritted his teeth. It was not just Link who annoyed him now. Just as Frances stood up for Yao Ming back then, his little brother was bullied, and Randolph naturally wanted to help Link stand up.

"Damn it, do you know what toughness means?? You forgot what I told you!? If you can't beat me, just get out, soft boy!"

As soon as Randolph scored, George Carl rudely yelled at Martin. Old Carl, no matter how many people and reporters there were at the scene, this guy was merciless when he scolded people.

"Damn it, yell at me, old man!" Martin muttered to himself. He actually didn't like Old Carl, but there was no way. Not everyone could use trades to threaten the team like Anthony.

Anthony could fly far away, but Martin could only swallow his anger.

The Grizzlies scored first, and it was an extremely tough score, which gave the Grizzlies fans on the scene a shot of a heart-warming agent.

So, when the Nuggets players received the ball, the Grizzlies fans shouted "defense" loudly!

This situation is really quite playoff-like.

After Billups was traded to the Knicks, Old Carl's main control became Ty Lawson, who he had loved for a long time.

Nowadays, the two main point guards in the Nuggets, Lawson and Raymond Felton, both graduated from North Carolina. George Carl loves these two guys very much, because old Carl also came from North Carolina at the time.

He believes that North Carolina players are tough and have good strength, so they trust them very much.

Facts have proved that Ty Lawson has not disappointed George Carl. Since the game, Lawson's condition and performance have been rising. A few days ago, on April 10, in the Nuggets' match against the Timberwolves, Lawson even scored 10 of 11 three-pointers, scoring 37 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the game!

Now, Lawson has become one of the Nuggets' offensive cores. So Conley did not dare to slacke in a moment, and he did not want to be Lawson's famous background board.

Lawson was pressed by Conley, and his speed advantage could not be used at all. Italian shooter Garlinari was entangled by Tony Allen, and found the gap for a long time.

So Martin took the initiative to raise the bill, wanting to provide cover for Lawson.

Lawson took advantage of the cover to break through, and the speed was very fast. Randolph was afraid that Lawson would directly attack the basket, so he moved a few steps in the direction of Lawson.

Seeing this, Lawson immediately hit the ball and passed it to Martin who cut in after pick-and-roll! The angry Martin saved even the dribble. After receiving the basketball, he took two big steps and then jumped up suddenly, preparing to dunk directly!

Randolph had no time to rush back at this time, and he didn't want to make a foul early. It seemed that Martin's dunk seemed to be bound to win.

Just as Martin's arm was about to exert force, a yellow lightning suddenly jumped into the penalty area and jumped high to block Martin. The audience cheered, it was Link!

"Link, his re-defense is very active. But we don't know if he can intercept Martin in the air!" Mike Bryn was a little worried. After all, Link has never been a player known for his athletic ability.

But in fact, Hill often played a good show of flying into a big hat in the 2008-09 season. That year, the league even cut a block highlight.

Link knew this well, so he was fearless. Besides, Kenyon and Martin in front of him also had a sharp drop in athletic ability after being injured? They are all players whose athletic ability is not at their peak, who is afraid of whom!

Link collided with Martin in the air with a tough force, and his long arm pulled his wrist and slapped the basketball away from Martin's hand!

Because of the collision with Link in the air, his center of gravity was unstable, and after landing, he fell out of the bottom line in a mess. Link landed steadily and stared at Martin with condescending expression. That contemptuous expression was Link's best response to Martin!

"Beautiful cover, my god, in the past, Link's cover was mostly based on excellent judgment and accurate jumping timing. But this time, I must admit that Link took Martin by his bounce. This was a very ornamental cover, and Martin would feel extremely ashamed of it."

Basketball has gone out of the world, and the ball rights still belong to the Nuggets. But there is no doubt that Link's block is enough to shock the Nuggets players.

Want to score points in the "Big Villain"'s penalty area? This is not an easy job.

"Damn it, you idiot! idiot!" Carl yelled again, and booed in the stands.

Martin felt that the whole world was humiliating him now, and he couldn't believe that he had actually made an Asian person fall into the ground.

Link raised his arms amid the cheers of the fans at the audience, and then said something to Martin, who had just gotten up.
Chapter completed!
