The Grizzlies led the Thunder 3-1 and got the match point. Link scored 50 points in a single game, becoming the sixth player in the 21st century to score 50 points in a single game in the playoffs. At the same time, 50 points also set a new high in Link's career.

Although many people can't accept it for the time being, the inconspicuous Memphis Grizzlies who have no superstar willing to join and have never had a sense of existence. This time, they are really going to enter the finals!

The official website of the Grizzlies has begun to pre-sale tickets for the finals in advance, and the local streets of Memphis are even full of small flags with the words "NBA Finals".

The Grizzlies are not blind confidence. After all, the NBA has only had 8 examples of reversing 1-3 when it fell behind. And only 2 of these 8 times occurred after 2000.

Moreover, the Thunder fell behind by 1-3 not because of their poor condition, but because they tried their best, but still couldn't win.

Durant scored 44 points in the last game. Do you expect him to do more?

The gap in strength between the two sides is already quite obvious, so everyone believes that the Grizzlies can end everything in the next game at home!

Link thought so, and he couldn't wait to start the fifth battle between both sides earlier.

The Grizzlies' home court, the Federal Express Arena, is known as the most literary and artistic stadium in the league. However, the biggest difference between this stadium and other stadiums is that there is no honor showroom in addition to literary and artistic stadiums.

Because the Grizzlies have not received any team honors since their establishment. Therefore, there is naturally no showroom.

Unlike Staples, every new player joins the Lakers, he has to visit the showroom to feel the so-called giant atmosphere.

However, this year, the Grizzlies' bleak history will be officially turned over. It is reported that the Grizzlies have consulted the stadium to discuss the construction of the honor showroom. This summer, the Grizzlies' own showroom will be completed.

The fifth match between the Grizzlies and the Thunder is the day when the Grizzlies win the first championship trophy!

The goals of the Grizzlies are highly consistent in raising the Western Conference champions over their heads, and no accidents are allowed!

So in the past two days between the game, the Grizzlies players did not slacken because they had already led the Thunder 3-1. On the contrary, each of them was trying to stay in shape.

In the fifth battle, the trophy is raised, and there is no need to lose.

"Hey, Link. You said, if we really win, what celebration moves should we do to be cool enough?" Randolph touched his chin while fantasizing about the scene of winning the next night.

"Damn, there are people like you who want to celebrate the action a day in advance? Let's talk about it when we win the game, Zach. I think the Thunder probably won't give up easily, even if they're already forced into a desperate situation."

Link was speechless. Before the game was played, Randolph began to think about styling.

"It's not bad to prepare in advance. Hello, otherwise you can carry me up and let me show my face on the headlines after the game, hahahaha. Where is the person?"

Before Randolph finished speaking, he found that all his teammates around him had "escaped".

He could carry anyone, but he didn't know how much he could carry Randolph's fat man.

Overall, the Grizzlies are now both serious and relaxed. They have not given themselves too much burden, but they are not at ease thinking that victory will come 100%.

This kind of mentality is probably the most perfect one.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, on May 27, 2013, at the beginning of this wild summer, the fifth game of the Thunder and the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals kicked off at the Federal Express Arena!

Today, when the reporters saw Durant again, he no longer had the downs and downs after losing the last game. The guy's eyes were still bright, as if he had won the match point.

"We will try our best to get a win at the Federal Express Arena. This is a series. Unless we win 4 games, the winner will not be decided yet." Durant's attitude was also very tough when he was interviewed by reporters.

Link was right. Although the last game must have dealt a huge blow to the Thunder, they just needed time to digest it.

Once they accept this fact, they will work hard for the next game.

At first, the reporters thought Durant was a stubborn duck. But in the first round of the game, the Thunder showed their determination.

Those guys really want to make trouble in the Federal Express Arena!

At the beginning of the game, Sergi Ibaka made a three-pointer! The Congolese has a range. Although he made very few three-pointers, he only made 57 shots in the regular season this season. However, the shooting percentage of 35.1% outside the three-point line is also enough for a defensive power forward.

It's better to have it than not.

This three-pointer boosted the Thunder's morale, and then Durant and Westbrook made a mid-range shot respectively, hitting the Grizzlies a 7-0 start.

"Does the Thunder really have to complete revenge on the road? The Grizzlies' Western Conference champions have been won, so don't be careless!" Hubby Brown seemed to be more anxious than the Grizzlies players on the commentary stage.

Link also found that the Grizzlies were a little loose at the beginning, so when the timeout was paused, he snatched the role that was originally the head coach.

"The Western Conference Championship Trophy is here, right at the Federal Express Arena. The league has prepared the trophy for us, and the boards for the podium are also ready. We have no reason to let them move those things to Oklahoma again!"

Link pointed to the direction of the player's channel and shouted. At this time, this roar was obviously more effective than tactics. The Grizzlies players gritted their teeth one by one, and their morale was raised.

Then, the Grizzlies launched a Jedi counterattack! Today, Link did not continue to compete with Durant for scoring, because Durant no longer struggled with individual singles, and the two teams formed a team.

The Grizzlies' performance of blooming at multiple points finally allowed them to score the score before the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies' performance continued to heat up, while the Thunder's second lineup scored was out of range.

Kevin Martin feels cold, and Fischer is no longer as brave as he was back then. Reggie Jackson, a young young man, was also at a loss for defense by Vasquis, the cunning South American defender.

After the half, the score difference became 8 points. The Oklahoma City Thunder now has only one hand left, and is still hanging on the cliff.

In the third quarter, a small episode happened. I wonder if it was because I was too unwilling to give in, but Ibaka blocked Iguodala's layup very roughly and directly knocked Iguodala out of the bottom line!

In the air, Ibaka had obvious intentional collision actions. To put it bluntly, some of the meaning of taking advantage of the topic is in it.

This time, before Link rushed forward, Gasol was the first to walk to Ibaka and roared.

After five games in this series, the Grizzlies' defense is tough but very clean. Whether it is Link, Tony Allen, Iguodala, or Black and White Bears, they are all the players who have effective but clean defenses.

On the contrary, Thunder sometimes does something annoying under the guise of "advancing strength".

Even Gasol, who has a gentle personality, couldn't help it now. There was no need for Ibaka to hit the ball just now.

Iguodala fell to the ground and did not get up at the first time. The temperature between Gasol and Ibaka was also rising sharply. In this case, the referee watched the slow motion replay.

In the playback, the referee clearly saw that Ibaka did have a deliberate arm pressing down. The referee then gave Ibaka a malicious foul, which was considered to be a fair fight to the Grizzlies.

Iguodala limped off the court with the help of Link and Tony Allen. The team doctor probably looked at it and said that it was just a slight sprain.

Even so, the Grizzlies didn't want to take risks with Iguodala anymore. In the end, they replaced Iguodala with Tony Allen and the game continued.

After Tony Allen came on the court, Link's scoring burden immediately became heavier. You should know that Iguodala, who did not pretend to be dead during the playoffs, averaged 16.3 points per game.

Now, the Grizzlies suddenly lost a 16-point source.

All 50 points were cut, so this little thing was naturally not difficult for Link.

In the subsequent games, Iguodala did not play again, but the Grizzlies remained strong under Link's leadership.

With 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, after Gasol's steal, the Grizzlies launched a fast attack. After receiving Conley's wonderful pass, Link dunked through Ibaka, which was considered to have regained the venue for Iguodala.

Of course, after this goal, the Grizzlies also led by 14 points 60-46!

After the three quarters, the Thunder scored not exceeding 50. Their current state can be described as high and low.

In the last fourth quarter, the Thunder were still working hard. But after Nick Young came on the court and scored two three-pointers, Link found that the Thunder's offensive seemed not so fierce.

The score difference has been around the range of 7 to 10 points, and no one can break it up or no one can get closer.

Originally, the Thunder did have hope of winning, but it was all blamed on Ibaka. His actions against Iguodala completely exploded the Grizzlies' long-suppressed energy.

At the last moment of the fourth quarter, the Black and White Bears succeeded continuously in the inside! Faced with the sudden opening of the penalty area, Scott Brooks had no idea how to deal with it.

With the outstanding performance of the Black and White Bears, Link completely got rid of the Thunder's defensive trap. In the last 1 minute and 34 seconds, Link scored 5 points in a row and completely ended the game!

23 seconds before the end of the game, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 8 points 91 to 83. In the stands, the Grizzlies fans had already started to stand up and cheer. On the bench, all the Grizzlies players except Iguodala put their hands on each other's shoulders and were about to rush in as soon as the whistle sounded.

Durant stood there and had no intention of participating in this last attack.

Today, he completely accepted the facts.

“5431!”

"Beep"

The moment the electronic beep sounded, all 18,000 fans cheered.

"Champion, we are the champions of the West! We are on the top of the West! We are about to go to the finals!" Old Hubi shouted heart-wrenchingly. He once doubted whether he could see the Grizzlies rushing out of the West in his lifetime.

After today, he will definitely feel that his previous worries are really ridiculous.

At the moment of the game, all the joy in Link burst out. After today, he no longer has to worry about the Oklahoma City Thunder and Kevin Durant!

Link rushed to Randolph excitedly, but found that the guy was actually rosy with his eyes!

Yesterday I was thinking about what moves to celebrate the most handsome Randolph, who had won the championship. Today, I didn’t do any moves, but couldn’t help but shed tears.

From being disliked to being a Western Conference champion, Randolph might have completed his redemption.

Durant looked at the Grizzlies players who were holding each other in a group and left the court in a bleak manner. The 0.9-second victory in the Grizzlies was like a dream.

After waking up from the dream, they were unable to conquer the place in the end.
Chapter completed!
