Dior is already very tired. His huge weight can help him withstand the impact of the Grizzlies players, but it also makes him full of burden.

Popovich is already considering whether to replace Dior with Split. Of course, he also made up his mind to make Dior lose weight. That guy's figure is not like a professional player at all.

But the Grizzlies won't wait until Dior recovers before launching an attack. Before Dior can breathe a few breaths, he saw Link killing in with the ball.

Leonard tried his best to block the situation next to Link, but Link did not slow down and still determined to hit the basket.

Dior took a deep breath and was about to collide with Link head-on. However, just as Link was about to hit the "French Five Flowers", he hit the ball and passed it to his side.

"Oh no!" Dior wanted to turn around and chase him immediately, but his legs could not be lifted up.

Now, the only thing Dior can move is his neck. He turned his head and looked at Randolph, the big black bear who was empty, with a look of despair.

Randolph made a mid-range open jump shot, and the basketball went into the net. Dior wanted to block Link, who completely dominated the game within the last five minutes, but he missed the other.

After Randolph scored this goal, the game was interrupted again. Popovich called for a timeout, and he had to call for a timeout. Because Randolph's mid-range allowed the Grizzlies to lead the Spurs by 11 points! Five minutes ago, the two teams still tied!

Now, the game has only 32 seconds left. This timeout is the Spurs' last chance.

Of course, the fans on the scene didn't care what tactics Popovich would set up. They only knew that after that beautiful ground-breaking assist, Link's assists also reached 10!

25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, this is Link's first triple-double in his career!

"This is a milestone night for Link, with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists! He became the first player in the history of the Grizzlies to score triple-double in the playoffs! Link has been breaking various team history records all year round. At the end of the regular season, he just became the player with the most triple-doubles in the Grizzlies' history. Now, he has broken another record. Link's existence has allowed the Grizzlies to fill many gaps in team history records!"

Accompanied by Hubby Brown's excitement, the fans of the audience cheered for Link. It can be said that the cheer was so loud that it even affected the Spurs' tactical arrangement.

Popovich now has to yell in the player's ears to ensure that the player can barely hear what he is saying.

On the Grizzlies, the players and coaches were hugging Link to celebrate that he would win another team history record.

Since the Grizzlies were founded, they have not played in the playoffs several times, so all kinds of records are blank. It can be said that Link has almost become the first historical figure for the Grizzlies. In just two seasons, Link has broken countless team history records.

As the game was about to end, the TV station hit the data of Dior and Link at the bottom of the screen and compared it.

Dior's data has almost no change compared to five minutes ago, with 16 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. The only thing that changed was that there was an extra turnover and the shooting percentage became lower.

Link, 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, made great progress compared to five minutes ago. Compared with Dior, he did get a little bit behind.

Now, no one will say that Dior's performance is as good as Link.

After Popovich arranged the tactics, his throat felt sore. The enthusiastic fans of Memphis turned this place into a large-scale disco-skiing scene, and communication was basically only possible by yelling.

The old man then looked up at the audience behind him and found that most of the fans were holding Link's avatars or slogans related to him. The fans wearing the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey accounted for at least one-third of the entire arena!

From the day I came to Memphis, Popovich felt that the city seemed to have been occupied by Link. In the past, even when Paul Gasol was still in Memphis, the Grizzlies did not have a leading figure of this level.

Now Popovich thinks Link may become the first iconic superstar in the history of the Grizzlies. Of course, he is also likely to be the greatest one.

What is an iconic superstar? It's like the "Magic" to the Lakers, Olajuwon to the Rockets, and Duncan to the Spurs!

If Link goes crazy like this, 10 years later, when people talk about the Memphis Grizzlies, the first thing they think of is Link.

"No," Popovich shook his head to himself, "maybe it won't take 10 years!"

In the last 30 seconds, the Spurs were still chasing points with determination. Duncan's classic 45° board shot seemed to give Spurs fans hope, but the quickly jumping numbers on the timer told them, "Don't be foolish."

It's difficult to chase 11 points in 32 seconds? It's really difficult. The Spurs experienced a dream moment of chasing 13 points in 35 seconds, but unfortunately, even that time, the Spurs were killed.

When Conley, who was fouled by a tactical foul, made two free throws steadily at the free throw line, and there were only 1.3 seconds left in the game, Popovich lowered his head and smashed the tactical board in his hand hard.

106-98, the San Antonio Spurs lost 8 points. Link helped the Grizzlies fall behind 1-0 and reverse the total score of the series to 2-1 with his triple-double performance that broke the team's history record!

"A great victory, the Memphis Grizzlies remained unbeaten at home in the playoffs! Burris Dior once wanted to dominate the game. But Link, who was stronger than him, stood up and snatched the victory from him! Dior is a player who can make the team better, and Link is a player who can end the game! Cheer, the Memphis Grizzlies will continue to advance in the series!"

The Spurs players walked off the court one by one. They were so close to the victory, but in the end they had a fantasy.

At the critical moment, Link was always able to perform unstoppable. In the last game, he destroyed Leonard with his own hands. Today, he told Dior what it means to be comprehensive and extreme.

Duncan felt that he was quite unlucky. Randolph was no longer able to do this year, and Link rose again.

Why did the Spurs hit the gun?

Duncan scored 22 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds today, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he beat Randolph.

But it's useless. If you want to defeat the Grizzlies, it's useless to just beat Randolph. Someone must defeat Link. At present, both attempts to defeat Link have failed.

After the game, Link, who won the playoff triple-double, was sought after by the media.

Starting from 26 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds against the Celtics on March 23 last year, to 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists today. Link only took one season from his first triple-double in his career to his first triple-double in the playoffs.

It only took one season to go from Randolph's deputy to the absolute core of the Grizzlies.

"Penny" Hardaway has always believed that the playoffs are the stage to test a player's true level. No matter how awesome the regular season is, it is useless. How good the playoffs are, it can only explain what kind of player you are.

After this game, Hardaway expressed his love for Link to his partner, Robert Pera, the future Grizzlies boss.

"I underestimated him before. This kid is fully capable of playing the role of the cornerstone of the team building!"

"Hahaha, that's right. So the first thing we have to do this offseason is to establish Link's core position!" Robert Perla smiled happily, as if he was happier than Link who got a triple-double.

"Establish the core position? He is already the core, man."

"No, if Rudy Guy is here, Link will never be able to enjoy the real core treatment in his life. What we need is players who can assist Link, not players who compete with him for the right to take action. Next season, Guy should return. We can't let him play unless."
