At the New Orleans Arena on December 3, almost all Pelicans fans were covering their chests with their hands to prevent their hearts from jumping out.

Because today, they will have a chance to kill the Memphis Grizzlies who are currently 19 wins and 0 losses, unrivaled in the league!

At this time, Pelicans starting point guard Tim Fraser, who was undrafted in 2014, was in control of the ball.

After transferring to the Pelicans at the end of last season, this guy averaged 13.1 points and 7.5 assists per game in 16 games.

Therefore, when Holiday was injured this season, he became the first choice for the Pelicans starting point guard.

Fraser gained confidence in his outstanding performance with the Pelicans last season.

So even at such a critical moment, Fraser was not nervous at all.

He calmly controlled the ball, watching the numbers that kept beating in the timer on the rebound.

At this time, the game had reached the last 15 seconds, but the New Orleans Pelicans were only 2 points behind the Grizzlies!

If this attack is done, the Pelicans will have a chance to drag the game into overtime and even win the game directly!

Today, the Pelicans' performance was unexpected to everyone. They currently have a record of 7 wins and 14 losses, but they do not have the capital to wrestle the Grizzlies.

The last time the two sides fought, the Grizzlies ended with a big victory.

However, the Pelicans players who are still eager to enter the top eight in the Western Conference showed a strong desire to win today.

Anthony Davis played very hard, and he fought hard like a blue-collar player to fight for every rebound.

Of course, relying on Anthony Davis alone, the Pelicans would not cause trouble for the Grizzlies.

The reason why the Pelicans really put the Grizzlies in a tough battle today is their other undrafted Langston Galloway!

To be honest, Link didn't know who this guy was before the start of this game.

Like Fraser, Langston Galloway, who was undrafted in 2014, averaged only about 8 points per game with the Pelicans this season, and is an ordinary substitute guard.

But today, Galloway suddenly exploded. He stood out from the bench and made 6 of 12 shots from outside the three-point line today, scoring 26 points!

Galloway's sudden outbreak was unexpected by the Grizzlies, and it was precisely because of his 26 points and the positive performance of others that the Pelicans have been stalking the score until now.

At this time, it was naturally Link who personally defended Galloway. Joggel predicted that the Pelicans' last goal was most likely to be handed over to Galloway to end!

Indeed, the true core of the Pelicans is Davis. But now, the Pelicans need to make a three-pointer to kill the game. Today, Galloway performed far better than Davis outside the three-point line.

The local commentators in New Orleans were very excited. In their opinion, it was extremely embarrassing to defend a superstar like Link to defend a undraft like Galloway.

But Link doesn't think so. First of all, he himself is out of the draft, not the son of the God. If he loses the draft, he will prevent the draft. What's the problem?

Secondly, it is not embarrassing to defend the draft if the superstars fail. If they lose in the end, it is really embarrassing.

This is Link's first defense against Galloway today. Galloway was a little nervous and he didn't even dare to look at Link.

Although he has also played against veteran superstars such as Wade and Carter today.

But none of them had the oppression of Link!

Link is like a beast hidden in the dark. As soon as you make moves, he will pounce on you and bite your neck!

Time passed by second by second. When the game time was left with 8 seconds left, Fraser started to start, and Anthony Davis immediately gave Galloway a no-ball cover, and Galloway would go out to catch the ball.

He is indeed the Pelicans' last offensive choice today!

Galloway trusts Anthony Davis very much. After all, that guy is the strongest player in this team. Therefore, he believes that Davis can definitely block Link.

Davis is omnipotent, and a mere cover without the ball will definitely not defeat him.

After reaching the top of the front arc outside the three-point line, Galloway received the basketball. He aimed at the basket, and as long as he could shoot the ball like he did before 6 times, it was over!

The Pelicans will also be the first team to defeat the Grizzlies this season.

This is an extremely glorious thing for Galloway and the entire Pelicans!

But just as Galloway was about to take action, Link, wearing a dark blue away jersey, rushed to him.

Moreover, the expression is ferocious!

"Do you think you can kill me!" Link shouted at Galloway in a low voice, and Galloway felt his legs weak in an instant.

"Damn it!" Seeing that Galloway was entangled by Link, Davis, who had just finished covering, immediately cut in.

Link was too fast and had a very good skill in getting rid of cover. He didn't give Galloway any chance, and Davis could only lead by example now.

The Pelicans' backup plan is to Davis hit the basket and equalize the score!

Although I can't win, it's better than losing directly.

Galloway didn't think much and immediately handed the ball to Davis.

Not everyone can do this. In addition to having superb skills, you also need to have a big heart.

Even when facing the tightest defense and the most terrifying defender, a big heart can allow you to complete the attack calmly.

It is obvious that Galloway does not have the conditions to shoot a final shot.

Davis, who cut in, received the basketball. Since everyone thought Galloway was going to shoot, his defense against Davis was not that tight.

Davis seized the opportunity and killed the basket. Tobias Harris next to him had already tried his best to stick it up.

But Davis believed that Harris could not stop him. Harris did not dare to foul this desperate moment.

Because if Davis is allowed to play a 2+1 kill game, Harris will be very responsible.

As for Gasol, who had just finished the suspension, he was entangled with Asik in the middle distance and would definitely not be able to return to the basket in time.

Davis leaped hard and persisted for the whole game. He would never be defeated here!

"Anthony Davis is slam dunking, he will drag the game into overtime! Wait, that's... Link!?"

As soon as the live commentator finished shouting, he suddenly realized that he could not make any sound.

As soon as Davis jumped up, he saw Link suddenly rushing up from behind and covering the entire airspace!

"So fast!" Davis was shocked. He was still standing in front of Galloway just now. When did he catch up with him?

Davis wanted to pass the ball, and if Link made it up, it would mean Galloway was released.

But now Davis has made a dunk move, and he cannot change it temporarily. Even if he forcibly turns into a pass, the quality of the pass must be very low, and he might make a mistake directly.

Davis's only choice now is to bite the bullet and start an air showdown with Link!

However, Link did not give Davis a chance to be a hero.

He slapped the basketball away from Davis before he exerted force on his arm.

The block was very clean and there was no suspicion of foul. Although Davis was eventually knocked to the ground by Link, it was an inevitable collision between the two after the block was completed.

The basketball flew into the audience like a cannonball.

From this we can see how powerful the terrain of Link's seal was.

Before the basketball went out of bounds, the electronic beep sounded, and Davis, who was sitting on the ground, only saw red light rising above his head.

it's all over.

"At the last moment, Link used an impeccable defense to make the Pelicans lose! He can not only score a goal, but also win the defense!"

Even the New Orleans commentator couldn't help but stand up and cheer.

There is no way, this ball is really wonderful!

First, he locked Galloway, and then chased Davis.

Link's defense this round is worth a thousand gold!

Davis sat on the ground, looking lonely. At this moment, a familiar big hand appeared in front of Davis.

Davis looked up and saw that it was Link.

"Get up, ad. You played well today, but you were not lucky."

Davis smiled bitterly, then stood up with Link's hand.

But just now, it was this hand that shot him and the Pelicans into hell...

His loss was not a matter of luck at all, just because he simply couldn't beat Link.

This wonderful game made the fans excited. After the game, Davis and Link hugged each other friendlyly, which also explained what the real sports spirit is.

"I lost with confidence. Link deserves this victory. He is too strong." Davis didn't complain when facing the reporters. In the end, he lost in Link and he admitted it.

"The Pelicans have shown super resilience. No matter what the Pelicans' record and ranking, they are definitely a strong team in my heart." Link also praised his opponent in a rare sight.

Between Link and Davis, there is something like a hero cherishing heroes.

Overall, from the process to the end, almost everyone was happy.

The Pelicans lost, but it was not unacceptable. The Grizzlies won and played very well.

At the same time, in Oakland, the Warriors beat the Suns with a score of 138 to 109! This is the third time the Warriors have scored more than 130 in a single game this season.

After the game, Green, who scored 9 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists, accepted an interview with reporters.

After learning that the Grizzlies were almost overturned by the Pelicans, Green smiled disdainfully.

"Just one New Orleans Pelicans almost revealed the Grizzlies' true colors, hahaha. To be honest, this was as expected. I said, as long as they meet a slightly stronger team, they will be at a loss."
