1338: sorry for making you wait another year(1/2)

One record after another was broken by Link and created by Link.

One by one, one magical achievement became the gorgeous cloak of Link's career.

37 seconds and 17 minutes became the most talked about by people after continuing McGrady's moment.

Link, a man who has already received nearly all the honors in the league.

From now on, when people take stock of the top 10 rankings on each list, Link will definitely become an unavoidable name.

He is known as the new god of modern basketball, the undisputed greatest player of the 10s, the superstar of the top 10 in NBA history, and the closest player to Jordan.

Of course, more and more people began to think that he was a man who had surpassed Michael Jordan!

When such a legend came to Staples, Los Angeles fans were under a lot of pressure.

This may be the first time ever, proud Los Angeles fans will be terrified in the playoffs by the arrival of a certain star.

They are like the jazz, pistons, walkers, and supersonics of the 1990s.

At that time, as long as Michael Jordan appears, fans of these teams will be prepared for the worst. As long as the guy wearing the red No. 23 jersey appears, the entire arena will be wrapped in a strong sense of fear.

Now, Los Angeles people finally experience this feeling.

When Link stepped into the stadium to warm up, all the Clippers fans immediately became worried.

In the third game of the Western Conference Finals, the battlefield finally came to Los Angeles and the Clippers' territory.

But the Clippers fans are not particularly excited. On the contrary, they are particularly scared now.

The live footage gave Link a close-up, and the screen showed his mythical achievement of the last game - 37 seconds and 17 minutes.

A super god performance that is more exaggerated than McGrath's 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

People say that Maddie borrowed 35 seconds from God.

But for Link, most people think that he is God himself!

No one knows how to defeat this man, and even Doug Rivers doesn't know.

"We can only do our best and have no choice. He is always able to strike at victory under various circumstances. All we can do is stick to the end. In any case, we must keep our home court. These two games in Los Angeles will be the key to whether we can continue to survive, God bless you."

Doug Rivers ended with a sentence "God Blessing" before the game began.

He really needs God's blessing. Anyone who encounters something like being chased for 17 minutes in 37 seconds can only pray for God's blessing.

I just don't know if God on the basketball court will listen to Doug Rivers' prayer...

Link looked at the wooden floor under his feet and sighed.

In the Western Conference Finals, he finally came to Staples. It was just that his opponent was not the Lakers and James, but the Clippers.

The last chance to compete with James was gone, but when he met the Clippers, Link played very happily.

They are very strong and worthy of their qualifying qualities in the West.

Although Link doesn't like this opponent.

Nonsense, who would really like a strong opponent? Link is not that second-tier, and it is interesting to have to fight against a powerful opponent.

If you can easily advance 4-0, who would want to play the tiebreaker to death?

But since you encounter it, you have to do it.

Now the total score between the two sides is 1 to 1, and Link must establish his advantage as soon as possible.

After winning the last thrilling victory at the Federal Express Arena, Link was waiting for the opportunity to establish his advantage.

It's so frustrating to keep dragging. Link now just wants to get the game as soon as possible and then launch a rush to the O'Brien Cup!

Before the third battle began, commentators from all over the world who came to comment on the competition were talking about Link's last super-god performance.

All of them hope that Link can turn the tide again today. Everyone is particularly optimistic about Link's performance today.

However, after the game began, the Grizzlies were not Link, but Jokic!

Jokic missed three-pointers in the last game, which made him almost forgotten.

But today, Jokic made a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and taught Zubac, who was preparing to stay at the basket to make up for defense.

Then, he shook Zubac away with retro fantasy dance steps at the low post and successfully scored at the basket.

After the last game, the Grizzlies' morale was high. And after experiencing the baptism of the first two hard battles, everyone got used to the rhythm of the Western Conference Finals.

So today, the Grizzlies are no longer Link’s big bag. Jokic gave everyone a good start and told everyone that this is not just Link’s game!

In the second quarter, Dillon Brooks responded to Jokic's call.

Since Paul George has always focused on assisting Link, Brooks took the opportunity to run many open shots.

This second round pick who played in the playoffs for the first time was not timid, even when facing Paul George, he did not hesitate at all, and dared to shoot after receiving the ball!

Today, I not only dare to vote, but also dare to enter!

Like other Grizzlies players, he has always thought he would take over Link's mantle, and was inspired after watching Link's performance in the last game.

Link did not give up after falling 14 points in the last 37 seconds, and led the team to win the game.

What else is he afraid of?

So in the second quarter, Brooks, a guy with ordinary physical fitness, ordinary athletic ability, and even his name had no distinctiveness, hit a super giant level.

He made 3 three-pointers and 5 shots in a single quarter, and 13 points in a single quarter!

With his performance with Jokic, the Grizzlies led the Clippers by 11 points in the first half.

Link's halftime statistics were only understatement of 11 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and he was not as explosive as people expected today.

Generally speaking, this only means one thing-Link plays very easily.

With Jokic and Brooks in it, Link's offensive task today is not heavy. Therefore, he can also focus more on the defensive end.

As a result, Leonard's offense in the first half was not very smooth. He only scored 2 points more than Link in the half, and his shooting percentage was only over 40%.

It is not an accident that the Clippers fell behind.

"This is a Jedi counterattack from the defending champion! After three games, the Grizzlies played the best! The Clippers have already struggled. They failed to seize the opportunity to lead the Grizzlies 2-0, and they will regret it!"

Mike Bryn could clearly feel the changes in the Grizzlies. They were a team that won 33 consecutive victories and won 75 wins!

Link may always turn the tide at critical moments, but this does not mean that the Grizzlies have achieved 33 consecutive victories and 75 wins by just Link.

The strength of the Clippers has inspired the Grizzlies' full potential, making this team that has won eight consecutive victories in the first two rounds of the playoffs reawakened.

Link's great performance boosted everyone's morale and determination. They are now timid and just want to sink the Clippers!

In the second half, Paul George showed his magical powers.

Although Dillon Brooks is active, his talent is limited after all, so it is very unrealistic to expect him to freeze George.

But the Clippers' score difference in the second half still did not narrow, because the reason was very simple - Link took action.

Without George and the inside players' assist in the second half, Link began a magical one-on-one performance.

Facing Leonard, a fan who claims to be able to end Link's super outside gate with defense, Link scored repeatedly!

Emergency stop jump shot, backward jump shot, step back jump shot, basket step, force rushing to the frame...

Generally speaking, no player is truly all-round. Even Jordan, his three-pointer is one of his weaknesses.

Everyone has their own preferences and offensive methods. As long as you grasp this, you can formulate corresponding defensive strategies and prescribe the right medicine to freeze them.

But Leonard found that Link really has no shortcomings!

You don't know what strategy to use to defend. When you block his breakthrough, he starts to jump. When you are wary of his jump shot, he can use the fastest first step in the league to easily break through.

Leonard was beaten to no avail, and without assisting defense, even he could not stop Link's scoring momentum.

In this way, Link and George started a crazy scoring mode in the second half. But to be honest, George's scoring explosive power is not as good as Link.

In the end, the difference in strength between the two was also reflected in the result.

117 to 109, the Grizzlies finally won the key third game with an 8-point difference, taking the first lead in the series!

Link scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists in the whole game. In addition, Jokic had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and Brooks had 27 points.

Today, there is no final victory, no confrontation at critical moments, and no miracles.

The Grizzlies won easily, as if they were supposed to win the game.

After watching this game, Mike Brynn felt that the Clippers were completely cold!

Because of this game, the Grizzlies showed stronger overall strength.

If the Grizzlies have to rely on Link's burst at a critical moment to win every game like they did at the Federal Express Arena, it might be a bit dangerous.

But when others can also stand up, the situation completely changes.

After the game, Doug Rivers' face was as gray as death. This was because his skin was dark enough, otherwise his face would have been pale now.

"The Grizzlies played in their best form today, and we were not lucky. But in the next game, we will swear to protect the home court!" Rivers' expression was firm, but he was very nervous.

The Grizzlies' lineup looks nothing at first, but the structure is really reasonable.

Speaking of which, the Grizzlies have never been a giant team. But they win in every position and they are very balanced and they all match Link!
To be continued...
