When he thought of his performance in the fifth game of the series, Link felt ashamed. Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies also had a day of failure. If it were just a failure, it would be fine, but the whole team would have a collective failure.

The Grizzlies made a total of 78 shots in the whole game, and the team's shooting percentage was only 35.9%. Link's 33.3% shooting percentage was the second highest among the five tigers.

Some media joked that the Grizzlies players might have gone to the nightclub to celebrate the victory in advance, so they were in poor condition the next day.

But this is just a joke after all. Everyone knows how hard the Grizzlies work this year. But sometimes, this is the case with basketball games. You think you are going to win, but in fact you are just going further and further down the road.

Fortunately, I returned to Memphis in the next game, otherwise it would be impossible for the Thunder to win two consecutive home games.

Speaking of which, the situation in the West is basically very tense this year. The Spurs and Hornets are currently playing 3-2, and Paul doesn't want to be eliminated early.

The Mavericks and the Nuggets have already scored 3-1, but the Nuggets have not allowed the Mavericks to sweep, which has already caused trouble for the Mavericks.

The Lakers and the Trail Blazers are now 3-2, and the defending champion encountered fierce resistance in the first round. Overall, no series in the West showed a crushing trend.

But the East is different. The Heat and Bulls both eliminated their opponents with a score of 4-1, and the Celtics even beat the Knicks to a 4-0 sweep.

It has to be said that the competition in the West is indeed much more intense. But this kind of tragic is relative, for low-ranking teams and for high-ranking teams.

The Thunder and the Grizzlies are under great pressure now. If the Thunder loses in the next game, they will have to go home directly. But if the Grizzlies lose, the total score will be tied 3-3. The most important thing is that the decisive game will be played at the home court of the Thunder. For the Grizzlies, it is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

Therefore, the Grizzlies' next game has a clear goal, that is, they must solve this round of series in Memphis!

If you have played this game, how can you give up the possibility of advancing?

Link went to bed early tonight, and he didn't want his performance to continue to decline tomorrow.

That is a decisive battle. If any mistake occurs, Link will regret it for the rest of his life.

All day today, there was heavy rain outside the window. I only wish that the thunder that came with the heavy rain would not cause the raging fire to ignite Memphis.

※※※

The next day, before the alarm clock rang, Link opened his eyes. Today is the sixth game against the Thunder. Link was excited all night yesterday, and he couldn't wait.

As always, Link got up and washed up and turned on the TV news first, and then went to the kitchen to toss his own nutritious breakfast.

However, today, Memphis' news channel did not say anything related to sports. Because in Memphis, something that may have a greater impact than sports has happened.

"Due to recent heavy rains and spring melting ice, the Mississippi River flooded, and the water level was approaching the highest since the 1930s. Some areas of Memphis, Tennessee were flooded, and thousands of families living in low-lying areas were asked to evacuate."

"At present, the Mississippi River has risen to 14.63 meters, almost reaching the historical record of 14.84 meters in 1937. The Mississippi River is now twice the normal value, with a flow of 56,000 cubic meters per second, which leads to a 'reflux' phenomenon in the tributary rivers that should have flowed into the Mississippi River."

"Overnight, many houses and cars were soaked in water, and many areas were in danger of flooding. As the Mississippi River water level continued to rise, some people struggled to walk in waist-length floods, while others chose to go canoeing."

Link whistled and fryed the eggs, wondering why today's sports news didn't start yet. It was not until Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace called Link that Link realized the seriousness of the matter.

"What? I'm safe, Mr. Chris Wallace, the neighborhood I live in has not been flooded yet. I heard that the flooded areas are all low-lying areas around. Don't worry, this will not affect my competition today, nor will it affect my life safety."

Link didn't expect that Chris Wallace would call to ask if he was trapped by the flood and whether he was in danger. After receiving the call, Link hurried out to look out the window and found that everything was normal, and then he let out a big sigh.

However, it was possible for Chris Wallace to call and ask in person, which showed that the flood was much more serious than Link imagined.

For safety reasons, Link decided to go out early and meet up with the team at the Federal Express Arena.

Link was right, the neighborhood he lived in was not affected in the disaster. But when he drove his own Land Rover to a place two blocks away, Link was stunned.

"Sir, I'm afraid you have to return the same way. Due to the flood, the water in front is already waist-high! If you drive by car, it will be very dangerous. We are currently evacuating the residents here, and I hope you can cooperate."

A police officer who set up a checkpoint on the roadside asked Link to roll down the window and say the above words to him. Less than 50 meters in front of Link, the original city street had been completely submerged in the water!

"Wacao, this is too exaggerated!" Link swallowed. It was the first time he had seen such a scene that he could only encounter in disaster films in the past!

"Wait, you are you Link!" At this moment, the water policeman who stopped Link pushed away his sunglasses and stared at the Chinese man in front of him in surprise.

"That's right, it's me. Thank you for your reminder just now, police officer." Link did not hide it, the key is that it can't be hidden.

"Oh my God! It's really you! God, the last time you played in Memphis, your performance was simply"

"Shhh, don't disturb the others, officer. You know, we'll have to play a life-and-death final with the Thunder tonight."

"Yes, my family has bought tickets. We really hope to see the team advance to the playoffs at home!" The water policeman was extremely excited and looked like he was a basketball fan.

"So the question now is how should I pass through the water section in front. I have to rush to the FedEx Arena. I don't want to miss pre-match preparations because of the flood." Link said the most anxious question to him. He was not afraid of floods, but afraid that he could not catch up with the game!

If he misses pre-match preparation or even misses the game due to the flood, Link will be completely famous. He will become the first NBA player in NBA history to miss the game because he is flooded when he goes out. The reason for his absence can be said to be quite fresh and unconventional.

"You can go around Seventh Street, where the terrain is higher and you can still maintain normal traffic at present." The police officer pointed out a way to Link, but Link still frowned.

"How many cars did you let go this morning? Where can you choose to go from both directions?

"Yes, we commanded about a hundred cars to go around."

"Damn it, then Seventh Avenue must be blocked now!" Link slapped the steering wheel hard and was about to start the car, but was stopped by the police.

"Maybe, I have a way to pass quickly. It will not delay your time, but also ensure safety."

"Oh? Helicopter?"

"Helicopters? No, the helicopters have been dispatched to the hardest hit areas. I mean, we can row through this water-stacked area and then send police cars to escort you to the Federal Express Arena."

"What!? Take a boat!?" Link scratched his head. Sure enough, you never know what trouble you will encounter in this round of the series.
Chapter completed!
