"Don't be influenced by them, don't make any excuses! Let's go up and fight, that's all! Don't admit defeat, because we haven't lost in this venue yet!"

Before the sixth game of the series began, Grizzlies players gathered in a circle in the player passage. In the middle, there was a man shouting before the game to boost morale.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is mostly done by Randolph. After all, he is the one who has been with the NBA for the longest time and has the deepest qualifications in the team. But today, it is not Randolph who stands among the players, but Link!

In the second grade, he has become a real leader after experiencing this playoffs.

Not only the leader in tactical role, but also the leader in the hearts of other Grizzlies!

"One, two, three, grizzly bear!"

After saying that, Link walked in front and led everyone out of the player passage. In an instant, noisy cheers filled his ears. On both sides of the player passage, countless fans stretched out their arms. Link raised his hands and brived them while running.

"Come on, let those little kids go home crying!"

"I know you can do it, you are invincible in the FedEx Arena!"

"Tell them what a real man is! Come on, Link, and lead us to victory!"

Link's ears are no longer full of insults from Thunder fans, but the expectations of Grizzlies fans.

The fans here love him and he loves this place too. So, he won’t let this place fall!

"Apart from Yao Ming, there is no Asian player in the league that can have such a great influence on a team! Look at the fans in the stands and see who they are cheering for! This is Link's territory, and Kevin Durant cannot get what he wants!"

Hubby Brown also breathed a sigh of relief. Three consecutive offensive fouls were indeed a bit too much.

But as Link said, the more you want to defeat us, the stronger we are! Today, Hubby Brown believes that the Grizzlies will respond!

Durant looked around and gritted his teeth. No matter what the outside world said, no matter how popular the Grizzlies are in this game. He can't wait. If he wins another game, he will reach the finals for the first time in his career!

This time, Durant will not let the opportunity slip away. The Grizzlies have caused him enough trouble, and the scoring champion now just wants to end the game as soon as possible!

At the same time, Dirk Nowitzki, who was on vacation, turned on the TV and prepared to watch the game. Usually, he wanted to stay away from basketball after taking a vacation. But this year is an exception, and the Germans are very concerned about this round of the Western Conference Finals.

Maybe it's because Link has the same qualities as him, maybe it's because Dirk hopes the Grizzlies can make the final decision like they do. In any case, Dirk hopes the Grizzlies can win.

As the target of nearly being shaved off by the Grizzlies last year, Dirk knew that this determined team would not be finished so quickly.

Even if there is a referee helping, they will not surrender!

"Today, even country music and blues are less important than basketball!" Before the game began, Hubby Brown showed the game's status in Memphis in one sentence.

In Memphis, the "Music Capital", music has always been their cultural symbol, among which jazz and blues are the favorites of the locals.

But tonight, Memphis only has basketball!

After the game began, the Grizzlies immediately showed their tough side. Randolph knocked Westbrook out of the baseline when he made a layup and was called a foul.

But Randolph was not upset, but instead yelled fiercely at Westbrook on the ground, making the Thunder players feel distressed.

Then, Link grabbed the offensive rebound at the basket and carried Durant into the second offensive.

After scoring the goal, Link was not taciturn. The scene of him shouting "too soft" at Durant made Memphis fans fascinated.

Of course, the Thunder is also organizing counterattacks, and the effect is pretty good. But in terms of momentum, the Grizzlies have always taken the initiative.

The turn happened in the fourth quarter, with Perkins rudely pushing Randolph down on a defense, but the referee was indifferent.

Don't think that this is the Federal Express Arena, and the Grizzlies have the care of the referee. The referees are sent by the league, not from the local area. So for the referees, there is no concept of home court at all.

This foul directly caused the Grizzlies to fail to continue the score. The Thunder took the opportunity to counterattack and widened the score gap to 5 points!

The audience sighed, and then booed the referee. They fell behind by 5 points in 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the Grizzlies were in danger.

"The Grizzlies' life is almost over! As long as they can hold on for less than a minute, the Thunder will go to the finals!"

When Dirk almost laughed out loud when he heard the commentator's words. The Grizzlies' vitality is so strong!

Sure enough, this penalty did not bring down the Grizzlies, but instead made them beat more resolutely!

After another attack, Link pulled hard from outside the three-point line, and the basketball went into the net hollow, igniting the whole game!

Then, Conleyson cut off Westbrook and assisted Tony Allen to dunk with both hands to tie the score!

Durant wanted to respond, but was so defensive that he couldn't even get the ball. He finally got the basketball but was intercepted under the pressure.

The audience cheered endlessly, and the Grizzlies responded to the Thunder with their counterattacks again and again.

They told the world with practical actions, what it means to "The more you want to defeat us, the stronger we are!"

In the last 28 seconds of the game, the Thunder fell behind by 2 points, and the Grizzlies attacked the ball. The Thunder were only one offensive and one defense away from entering the finals! Defend this time and score the next goal, they are the Western Conference champions!

Durant held his breath, he didn't want to be dragged into the tiebreak. In that case, even if he wins, the Thunder will win! If he is dragged into the tiebreak, he will not be happy even if he wins!

From the beginning, what Durant hoped to win was a hearty series victory! Now, he only has the opportunity to prove himself with one offense and one defense!

Link dribbles the ball calmly outside the three-point line. This is not the first time that Grizzlies fans have watched Link handle the key ball. In the last 3 seconds of the 24-second offensive time, Link broke through with the ball, but suddenly crossed and changed directions.

However, as soon as the directional change was made, Link stopped.

Durant's eyes widened in despair, now it's over.

"Kill you!" While Link took action, he still muttered. I don't know if he was talking to himself or talking to Durant.

"The cross-step quick stop and mid-range shot, Link's killer move!" Accompanied by Hubby Brown's shout, the basketball drew a very high arc and "blasted" into the basket like a mortar.

4 seconds, 5 points difference. Link raised his arms and cheered, and Durant lowered his head in pain.

Lost, completely lost.

Even if the Thunder wins the tiebreak, Durant believes that in this round of the series, people will only remember Link.

At the same time, the Thunder who was clamoring to play 4-0 and 4-1 before the game will definitely be despised by fans.

When the hard power is dominant, he is dragged into the tiebreak by the opponent's super willpower and cohesion. It is embarrassing, really embarrassing.

After the game, Link, who gave the quasi-winning kill, stood in the center of the ball and roared. They were not defeated, and they once again broke the Thunder's dream of entering the finals! They held on to the end, exhausting the arrogant Thunder! Even if the Thunder finally reached the finals, the scars left by the Grizzlies on them would have a vague pain!

In the stands, thousands of fans also roared. In addition to Memphis, fans in many other regions were also crazy about Link. Even the German who had already started vacationing couldn't help but applaud Link.

If Link was just a second-tier star in the regular season, then this round of series undoubtedly brought Link's position in the league to another level!

A player who leads the team alone and fights to the end with the Thunder Third Young Master to the end will surely become the protagonist of this year's playoffs.

Durant left the court amid the cheers of Memphis fans and did not say a word. Indeed, the Thunder still has a chance, a tiebreaker, and a home advantage. Perhaps in the end, the Thunder can win.
Chapter completed!
