When the Warriors officially announced that they signed Steve Cole for 5 years and $25 million as head coach, people actually didn't feel anything particularly strong.

Now, everyone is immersed in the fierce confrontation in the division finals, who has the heart to take care of a team that was eliminated early?

Except for Warriors fans, no one cares about who the Warriors will change to be the head coach. It doesn't matter whether they change to Cole or Van Gundy.

But Link frowned when he looked at the news. He was the only one in the world who knew that a new era was coming soon.

Steve Cole joins the Warriors, which is a sign and a turning point in the entire NBA history.

Before this, Steve Cole was not very great, and the Golden State Warriors were not an important role in the league. Although most teams in the league were trying to change, their playing style was still between tradition and new.

But after Cole joins the Warriors, everything will change. In the future, the league will undergo earth-shaking changes from the game style to the pattern.

The boundary between the future and the present is so blurry.

Link shook his head and did not continue to think about the messy things.

At present, what he has to consider is not the future and the future, but the San Antonio Spurs.

A few days ago, after the game was transferred to San Antonio, the Spurs did make tough resistance. They regained their pace at home just like in the 2007-08 season.

On May 25, in the third game of the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs finally won a game 107-102, turning the total score of the series into 2-1.

This also became the first time the Grizzlies lost a month after the start of the playoffs.

At the same time, GDP finally won their 111th game in the playoffs, becoming the three-man with the most wins in the playoffs in NBA history.

However, after the game, **Vic was not as happy as people thought. Because the victory of this game came too late.

In **Vicci's plan, the Spurs should have won the victory two games before. But it was too late to win the victory after the series had reached San Antonio.

In this game, Tony Parker suddenly broke out at the last moment when his shooting percentage fell below 30% in the first three quarters.

He shot and broke through, and even scored a difficult three-pointer in the head.

Only after Parker's magical scoring performance in the last moment did the Spurs pass by luck.

But except for the few minutes when Parker broke out in the final stage, the Spurs were suppressed throughout the game, which was no different from the previous games.

**Vicch knew very well that he could not expect Parker to explode every day, just as he could not expect Green to explode every day.

This time they won by Parker's outbreak, so what about the next game? What about the next game?

There are always times when the Spurs cannot break out, and at that time, the Spurs are often powerless to the Grizzlies.

What's even more terrible is that now the Grizzlies can win the match point as long as they win one more game! So, it's too late for the Spurs to win this victory.

**Vicci, who won the game, was very uneasy, let alone Link who lost the game.

Although the Grizzlies are still leading with a total score of 2-1, Link still feels that it is not safe enough. Therefore, he has no mind to think about the possible impact of Cole. Now, Link only has the Spurs in his heart.

Sure enough, in the fourth game of the series, the thing that **Vic was most worried about was still coming.

Att Center, the Spurs faded away the magical aura of the first two games. Under the Grizzlies' fast unlimited defense swap system, the Spurs' offense collapsed across the board.

In such a situation, the Spurs have neither the magical Danny Green nor the "French sports car" that suddenly awakens in the last few minutes.

Tony Parker scored only 14 points in the game today, Kavay Leonard scored 10 points, "Stone Buddha" Duncan scored only 9 points, and Danny Green scored the least points among the starters. He only scored 3 points today. "Coffee Master" Dior, who came on the bench, had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Cory Joseph scored 11 points, and Manu Ginobili scored 5 points.

The Spurs both made a comeback today, both team offenses. This caused the Spurs to fall behind the Grizzlies at the most, and they withdrew all their main players early in the middle of the fourth quarter.

If the Spurs were just unfavorable in their personal attack, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

The key is that in addition to the Spurs' poor performance today, Link also achieved his best offensive performance since the Western Conference Finals!

The defeat in the last game reminded Link that this Spurs was the 2014 NBA championship in the original history. As long as they were given a little chance, they could turn the tide.

So in the fourth game, Link played extremely seriously and scored higher than the previous three games.

Although Leonard defended hard, Link still used his comprehensive offensive skills to score in exchange for the method.

Leonard was able to prevent James from killing him in the original history. To put it bluntly, he relied on one move to shoot but not to make a breakthrough. But for Link, this move was useless.

Whether it is shooting or breaking, Link is a top-notch player in the league. In this way, Leonard will not gain much advantage on the defensive end.

This quasi-fmvp wants to become completely famous in the league, probably for a while longer than in the original history.

In the end, Link scored 40 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds and as many as 5 steals in the whole game! This is the second time that Link scored 40+ points in the playoffs this year after playing against the Clippers in the Western Conference semi-finals on May 8.

Although it was not as shocking as the last time as the 40-point triple-double, the data was still exaggerated. At the same time, this is also the fourth time in Link's career, he scored 40+ points in the playoffs.

For comparison, Kobe, a scoring maniac, has scored 40+ points in the playoffs 13 times so far in his career. Based on the average rate of one game per season, it is not difficult for Link to surpass Kobe.

During the garbage time, the Spurs recovered a lot of points. But in the end, the Grizzlies won the key fourth game 105-92.

At first glance, the 13-point difference seems not particularly exaggerated. But in fact, the Spurs chased for a long time before narrowing the difference to 13 points.

From this we can see how unsurprising this game is.

3-1, the San Antonio Spurs have basically missed the Finals. This is the playoff journey of this elderly team.

**Wich is no longer as frustrated when facing reporters again.

This is not because he found a way to deal with the Grizzlies, but because he was numb!

He has completely recognized the gap between the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

"Of course we won't give up, but... it's a tough series. I think the Grizzlies won't meet their opponents even in the finals."

**Vicci smiled helplessly. He thought he and the Spurs had the strength to compete for the championship this year. If the Spurs were allowed to compete against the Heat or the Pacers now, **Vicci felt that they could win.

But unfortunately, they met perhaps one of the most powerful teams in NBA history.

Duncan looked at Link silently on the court and shook his head secretly.

He still remembers that he once said to Link "The future is yours" after a game many years ago.

But he absolutely could not have imagined that the future would come so quickly...

Maybe the future is not coming too fast, but I am aging too fast.

Duncan didn't think much about it, and he walked back to the player's passage silently.

Next, throw all these worries to the Heat and the Pacers.
