974: This is the best defensive player

"Link stood up again, it looked like nothing serious! What is this? This is the real Warriors! Where is Draymond Green? He is not worthy of the team name in front of his jersey!"

Mike Bryn has always been a very neutral commentator, but this time, he couldn't help but complain about Green.

Injuries are the enemy of all professional athletes and fans.

So Green's malicious elbow that made him an enemy of all athletes and fans!

The game started over and Link executed Green's technical foul free throw.

Everyone agreed that Link would definitely score this goal, but unexpectedly, Link's free throws to the forefront of the basket!

"Fuck!" Link gritted his teeth, and his chest hurt violently again while shooting.

After just a while, the pain was not so strong when I was still. But when I moved, it was so painful!

Pain is actually a trivial matter. The key is that after the pain starts, Link's shooting will be greatly affected! The free throw just now is proof.

Link knew that things were more serious than he thought. Indeed, rib injuries would not affect a player's career. After all, this place is not as important as ankles, knees, Achilles tendons and shoulders.

But there is no doubt that this will affect Link's condition in this game and even a whole series. The three consecutive championships are as important as the ankles, knees and Achilles tendons for Link's career!

In the last few rounds of the third quarter, Link did not score. In addition to the free throw just now, he also had an emergency stop jump shot in the sports and did not hit.

Therefore, in the end, the Warriors finally managed to get close to single digits before the fourth quarter.

They entered the final battle in the fourth quarter with a 9-point disadvantage.

Although the Warriors have not found any clues so far, Link knew that this matter could not be hidden.

He must deal with it in advance before the Warriors make targeted arrangements for themselves.

So, during this holiday break, Link told Jogel and his teammates about the situation.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Cole clearly discovered that the Grizzlies' attacks were dispersed a lot. Link no longer attacked the Warriors' defense line as he did in the first three quarters. The Grizzlies' offense instantly turned into a Spurs-style team attack.

Link still can score goals, but there are fewer difficult goals, and his shooting percentage has also dropped a little compared to the previous three quarters.

Even so, Link is still the most threatening offensive point for the Grizzlies. But there is no doubt that this is an opportunity to chase points for the Warriors!

After all, the Warriors are the team with the highest offensive efficiency in the entire league. Even if Link's offense is only a little worse than before, it will be difficult to beat the Warriors.

In the fourth quarter, both sides played very fiercely. Without Link's nearly invincible scoring point, the Grizzlies' offense became much weaker.

The Warriors made a concerted effort and rushed to catch up.

Joggle couldn't ask Link to do better, and he couldn't even imagine how Link stuck to the game in unbearable pain.

But competitive sports are not merciless, and the Warriors will not show mercy because Link is injured.

Finally, in the last minute of the fourth quarter, Klay Thompson made a jump layup, allowing the Warriors to tie the score!

The Grizzlies lasted for 47 minutes, but the Warriors bit their tail at the last minute.

"The score is tied, and the Warriors played very tenaciously in the fourth quarter! Coach Joggle stopped the game. We don't know what the situation is in Link now. But it is obvious that Link's attack power is not as strong as the first three quarters! In the last minute, let's see what the Grizzlies should do!"

Mike Bryn was sweating when he saw it. He really didn't want to see the tenacious Grizzlies be turned over at the last moment.

Although he was still neutral on his mouth, his heart had long been towards the grizzly bear.

Link covered his chest on the bench and grinned, and the severe pain was tormenting him.

Jogel had thought of replacing Link, but even Link is still the strongest player for the Grizzlies. There is no reason to replace the strongest player in the team at such a critical moment.

So, after the timeout, Link still made his debut at the last minute of the game.

He knew that he might not be able to create miracles on the offensive end today. But he would do his best to give others the chance to kill the game!

Link appears again this time, and the task is to defend!

Best defensive player, ready to devote all his energy to the defensive end!

"The game started again and Link is still present. So far, we don't know the details of Link's injury. But judging from the performance in the fourth quarter, Link is still affected."

While Mike Bryn spoke, the Grizzlies started the first wave of offense.

This time, Tobias Harris turned over and jumped on Barnes' head. But unfortunately, the shot failed to hit, and the Oracle Arena was churning!

But soon, the cheers of the Warriors fans turned into a sigh again. Because Curry's three-point shot after rapid advancement was interrupted by Link in time!

Link retreated quickly, almost chasing Curry at the moment when Harris missed the shot.

Fortunately, Link was present, if Curry made that three-pointer, Joe Geer would be so overwhelmed.

The Grizzlies fought back quickly, but still did not score. Butler forced his way through the frame, but Livingston was equally determined and did not let Butler succeed.

This time, after Green grabbed the rebound, he did not pass the backcourt for a long pass, but instead suppressed the rhythm.

The Warriors want to control time and play the last attack!

With 27 seconds left, the Warriors do not intend to leave any time for the Grizzlies. Now Link's offensive threat is reduced, which means that as long as the Warriors score the last goal, they can basically confirm their victory!

Cole doesn't believe that Link can drift and win in his current state in 1.8 seconds!

Curry controls the rhythm outside the three-point line, waiting for the time to pass minute by minute.

Every time they hit a critical moment, the Grizzlies and Link are always winners. Today, Curry is about to win Link at a critical moment!

With 8 seconds left, Curry activates and uses Green's cover to kill to the penalty area!

Green did not regret hurting Link in the third quarter. This time, Green was still unclean in the pick-and-roll and took the initiative to knock Conley down.

But the referee did not sound the whistle. I have to say that Green is indeed at the master level in hiding small moves.

Curry was able to get rid of Conley and make a quick breakthrough. Although Harris changed defense immediately, his steps were naturally not as good as Curry.

Curry broke into the penalty area and was about to make a layup.

Link rushed over in time, this was the only thing he could do now!

Curry was secretly happy when he saw Link rushing towards him!

In fact, he is not the end point of this game. His mission only attracts Link to defend. Today's real end point is another person in "Brothers of Splashes" Klay Thompson!

At this time, Thompson happened to get rid of Butler through the off-ball screen and took his place at the right bottom corner!

Curry and Thompson scored no badly. Thompson had just taken the position and Curry passed the ball!

"Curry attracted the defense, he broke through and passed the ball! Klay Thompson got an open shot. Can he kill the game??" Mike Bryn's scalp was tingling when he saw it. The Warriors' last attack tactics were extremely perfect!

Not all teams have such tactical execution ability to get an opportunity to shoot at the final moment!

The moment Curry passed the ball, Link turned the gun and rushed towards Thompson.

But even so, Link was still too far from Thompson. When Thompson made a shot, Link was still in the middle of the three-second zone and the bottom corner.

Thompson successfully took action, and Cole had already stood up and was ready to rush into the field at any time!

Link jumped up hard, staring at the basketball in the air.

He felt severe pain in his ribs again, but he couldn't care. He insisted on finishing this quarter, not to keep the Warriors players celebrating the victory!

Link stretched out his long arms and his body kept rising upwards.

Cole's expression changed from smiling to frowning.

Logically speaking, there is no threat to Link jumping off the block from such a distance.

But Link's jump was very scary. It seemed that the basketball could not cross Link's fingers...

"No...it's impossible." Cole's heart suddenly cooled down. The next second, Link flew the basketball that flew into the air out of the bottom line at an incredible height.

After Link finished blocking, Link flew past Thompson. From Cole's perspective, Link seemed to fly directly over Thompson's head...

"This guy, he can fly!" A scream from assistant coach Luke Walton came from Cole.

"Link actually completed the blocking, he saved the Memphis Grizzlies! God, he did it. He was two steps away from Thompson and forced the ball down! Link used his incredible bounce and determination to slam the victory that the Warriors had already won with one palm!"

Mike Brynn stood up instantly. This was the most incredible block he had ever seen in his life!

If you want to block a shot, the most necessary condition is to stay in front of the shooting person.

And just now, the opportunity that Thompson got can be regarded as a large open space!

But Link told everyone with his actual actions that no distance is safe under his defense!

All the Warriors fans covered their heads, and they couldn't believe what they had just seen. The large open shot was blocked by Link. This was simply too scary and too amazing!

In the last minute, he repeatedly used excellent defense, but he did not allow the Warriors to get even 1 point.

When the best defensive player puts all his attention on the defensive end, the result is quite terrible.

What about Link? He was not excited after landing, and was still very serious.

He knew very well that the game was not over and the Grizzlies had not won. The ball rights remained in the Warriors, and the Grizzlies had not landed safely.

After Thompson was blocked, Cole used up his last timeout and arranged his last attack.

Link went straight to Carter, heading towards the player with the highest three-point shooting percentage of the Grizzlies today.

In the eyes of others, the Grizzlies could drag the game into overtime in the last 3.1 seconds, even if they were a victory. But Link didn't think so, just as if he didn't think his defense had failed just now.

He not only wants to stop the Warriors from scoring goals, but also wants to kill the game!

"I'll grab the ball later, and I'll get the last shot. But it's not safe to hand over the last shot to me today." Link didn't waste time and started talking as soon as he walked into the bench. As he said, covering his unbearable pain in his ribs.

"So, today we need another person to stand up and seize the opportunity!" Jogel understood what Link meant in seconds. After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Carter.

"Vins, the bottom corner on the left, I know you must be ready. I'll grab the ball and you can help me throw the ball in, okay?" Seeing that Jogel was also preparing to hand over the last attack to Carter, Link put his hand on the shoulder of the "Old Flyer".
