Marc Gasol invested a key mid-range shot and dragged the game into overtime, which was considered to save his life for the Grizzlies.

Link let out a big sigh, but fortunately he knew Gasol's position in his heart, so he immediately clicked the ball.

But Link didn't think it was his key rebound that saved the game. On the contrary, Link was quite blamed for his last-minute misstep.

The biggest responsibility of being a star is to kill the game in difficult times, but Link did not do it today. Even he felt a little sorry for the team and fans.

"My fault, my fault, I should have killed the game." Link raised his hand and signaled to all his teammates.

"Hey, don't care, we still have a chance." Gasol touched Link's head to show comfort.

This scene is somewhat similar to the scene where Gasol touches Kobe's head.

Link can always save the Grizzlies at the death-breaking moment, as if he can score a goal as long as he handed the ball to Link at the critical moment.

Everyone got used to this, and even Link himself was used to it.

Since his first win over Chris Paul a few years ago, Link seems to be synonymous with "Mr. Key".

Little do they know that the success rate of the winning game has always been low.

Link was used to creating miracles, but he forgot that miracles would not happen from time to time.

The Grizzlies players all understood Link, and no one blamed him. Everyone's performance was the same as Gasol, and they all encouraged Link.

But what about Link? He seemed to be unable to forgive himself.

The Grizzlies walked off the court silently with a serious expression.

He doesn't want to let his teammates down anymore!

When a paranoid starts to compete with him, things that are unexpected happen again...

※※※

At the end of the regular time, the two sides tied with a 92-game tie.

Scoring 92 points in 48 minutes, both teams scored not high today. After all, both sides' shooting percentages were very urgent.

But the low hit rate did not reduce the viewing of this game.

Even compared with the first two matches of the two teams this season, today's game is not inferior.

The main reason is that the two teams had a very fierce struggle at critical moments.

Danny Green's three-pointer for life-saving and Mark Gasol's buzzer-beating mid-range shot in the last moment were enough to push the game to **.

Therefore, although the game was dragged into overtime, the fans were still not bored, but were still unwilling to do so.

The 18,000 fans at the scene were very willing to continue to observe how the Spurs slowly tortured the Grizzlies to death.

"I said, the Grizzlies are just surviving. The only change they can bring after dragging the game into overtime is to postpone the loss." The live commentator was very confident. When he saw Link miss the throw at the critical moment, he was sure that Link could not create miracles today.

Even Link could not resist the power of Michael Jordan's "poisonous milk".

"Overtime is indeed very unfavorable for the Grizzlies. Teams that have just finished the back-to-back game often find it difficult to perform well in overtime. Exhaustion and physical fitness will become their biggest enemies. After defeating the Warriors yesterday, Link said that he would lead the team back to the West as soon as possible, but now it seems that the Grizzlies' plan to return to the West may have been a little unexpected."

Both commentators spoke very relaxed, as if the Spurs' victory had been written on the record table.

In fact, it was not just two commentators, but even **Vicci also decided to win the game.

"Kavai, continue to fight Link in overtime. You did a good job in the previous four quarters. As long as you can keep it, the victory will definitely belong to us!"

**Vic is very excited. As the only team in the playoffs that can give the Grizzlies a loss last season, the Spurs seem to have always had special "anti-bear" body fat.

Although winning this game cannot change the Spurs' defeat in the playoffs in the past few years.

But at least, the Spurs can see the dawn of defeating the Grizzlies.

The Spurs won the last game when Link was not around. People say that it was not because the Spurs were strong, but because the Grizzlies had greatly reduced their strength.

But today, if the Spurs win again when Link plays, there will be no excuse from the outside world!

**Wich and the Spurs need such a morale-boosting victory too much. They urgently need to prove that their elderly selves are still competitive in the league.

Leonard nodded silently and wiped his sweat.

What made Leonard strange was that everyone present seemed to be confident about the game and said that Link was not performing well.

But is Link really not doing well? He scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, with a shooting percentage of 42.5%.

If such data is placed on others, it is absolutely impossible for someone to say that it is a bad performance.

Leonard defended Link today, but it was not easy at all. On the surface, Leonard suppressed Link, but Leonard himself almost disappeared on the offensive end.

People's energy is limited. If Leonard wants to defend Link well, he is destined not to waste too much energy and physical strength on the offensive end.

Leonard averaged 18.5 points per game so far this season. At first glance, this score was not many, and he didn't even score 20. But considering that the Spurs are a team that puts egalitarianism first, this score is already quite a lot.

But today, Leonard scored only one-third of the score per game.

Although Link scored fewer points, Leonard himself could not get points. After all, that was the same as before.

So in Leonard's opinion, he was not successful in curbing Link today.

And every second of the match against Link on the court, Leonard was worried about one thing - whether that guy would suddenly explode.

In the playoffs last season, Leonard deeply experienced the power of Link creating magical power.

There were several games where the Spurs seemed to have a win at the beginning, but Link always turned the tide and instantly put out the Spurs' winning flames.

When Link broke through to the spot at the last moment, Leonard felt that he was even more nervous than Link who executed the last shot!

Speaking of which, Link's consecutive triple-double record this season started with his first match against the Spurs.

Will that guy really let his record be ended like this?

Leonard felt very uneasy and could never underestimate Link's danger until the game ended.

From the end of regular time to the beginning of overtime, there is only 100 seconds of rest time.

Soon, the players of both teams must step onto the court and start fighting again.

At the beginning of the overtime, the cheers in the center of Att were thunderous. It seemed that everyone believed that these five minutes would be hell for the Grizzlies.

Leonard has been staring at Link after he came on the court. It is not difficult to judge from Link's expression that guy has not lost his fighting spirit yet!

Leonard couldn't help swallowing. Five minutes was enough for Link to do a lot of things.

Take the previous game as an example, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors 20-0 in five minutes.

The starting lineups of both sides remained unchanged. After the referee whistle sounded, Duncan fought for basketball on Gasol, who was so tired that he could not jump up at all.

Overtime competitions are more meaningful than regular time competitions. No matter who gets the first attack in regular time, the number of servings for each team at the beginning of each quarter is the same.

But overtime is different. Being able to win basketball first means getting the chance to take the lead.

And because there is no follow-up game, winning the ball first also means getting the right to attack one more time.

The Spurs competed for basketball and were in full swing. At the first attack of the game, the Spurs found Danny Green.

This magical shooter is now more than just content to save the team, what he wants now is to kill the game!

But the moment Danny Green received the basketball, he found that Link's face appeared in front of him.

The first change in the Grizzlies in overtime was to let Link, who was originally defending Leonard, switch to Green!

Green was panicked in an instant. For some reason, Link just stood in front of him and he felt panicked.

Link's defensive deterrence makes no accurate pitchers dare to shoot easily.

Everyone has never forgotten the scene of Curry being shot by Link outside the three-point line in the last game.

So Green handed the ball to Leonard, but Leonard was destined to be unable to score easily when he faced Butler.

The Spurs once again used their crazy pass style, but after passing the ball, they found that they could not pull out the gap at all!

"The Grizzlies' defense... seems to have increased its strength again! But how is this possible? Shouldn't they be more tired??" The live commentator was a little panicked, and the first round of the game was different from what he expected!

Indeed, the Grizzlies, who were still fighting the West last night, should be more tired than the Spurs now.

But Link's competitive spirit infected the entire team. Link's self-blame during the break during the holidays made everyone realize the importance of this victory.

The dignity of the championship is not allowed to fall now!

In the end, Burris Dior had to make a three-pointer against the defensive. Dior may be a reliable open projection point, but the superstar is far beyond the Frenchman's ability.

Dior's shooting was the most blocked, and the Spurs had a bad start in the first attack!

Link jumped high and took the rebound in the air.

The moment the basketball was holding the ball tightly with both hands, the basketball made a crisp "pop".

This shows how hard Link tried to grab this ball.

He was so hungry that he was like a wild wolf who had been hungry for three days and three nights.

After landing, Link did not hesitate, as if a car had already burned its tires on the spot, just waiting for the green light to light up and soar.

Leonard was just about to retreat when he found Link rushing towards him quickly.

During the rapid progress, Link's beautiful upper body swayed, causing Leonard's center of gravity to sway.

Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Link changed direction and left Leonard behind beautifully!
