"The Grizzlies have always been working hard in adversity, and you have to give them praise for such a team. They have been fighting hard against all kinds of difficulties throughout the season, but they can often get out of the shadow and become winners. To be honest, we are ready to have a more difficult game with them." Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle evaluated his opponent in this way.

"I'm not afraid of anything, I'm not even afraid of losing. What I'm afraid of is not trying to play, not playing competitively, not fighting, not playing with all my might. As long as you put your all your might into the game, good things will happen. If you give your all, even if you lose, there's no regret. Because there's always a team that will lose the game, because we've done our best." Zach Randolph, the "bastard", also said thought-provoking words in one glance. People have found that this fat man is not just about causing trouble.

After the second game of the series, the world's attitude towards the Western Conference Finals changed. People originally thought this would be a one-sided series, and the Mavericks who swept the defending champions would be unstoppable.

As a result, the Grizzlies persevered to the end with their tenacious will and terrible determination and won the final victory of the game.

Now everyone on the Mavericks knows that it is impossible to advance to the finals without taking off a layer of skin. In the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, they must have the determination and will to play against the Lakers!

The series continued, the Western Conference Finals G3, and the game returned to Memphis. At the Grizzlies' home court, the Dallas felt the determination of what the Memphis meant.

At the Federal Express Arena, every fan is roaring with all his might. Once the Dallas Mavericks players receive the basketball, they will inevitably be booing. This makes them feel stressed every time they get the ball.

The Grizzlies' style is as tough as ever. Link cut into the basket and received the ball suddenly, assisting Gasol Jr. to score in a mid-range shot.

Randolph once again steals Dirk at the low post, assisting Link to counterattack and scores a layup.

The Grizzlies started 9-2, and the team did not explode in the last game. They guaranteed that the Mavericks would not pass easily in every game.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks also became stronger. The Dallas are not easy to squeeze soft persimmons. After all, a weak team cannot reach the Western Conference Finals.

Peja and Kidd made three-pointers in the second quarter, and Baria also made a long-term investment. Seeing that their teammates were in such an excellent state, Nowitzki simply became a "hands-off boss" and gave all the right to his teammates.

In the end, the Mavericks entered the second half 54-50. Nowitzki scored only 4 points in the first half, but with the outstanding performance of others, the Mavericks still took the lead.

In the third quarter, both sides had defensive intensity, resulting in a low shooting percentage. Dirk made 1 of 7 shots, and the Grizzlies did not score for three minutes at one time. The Mavericks' shooting percentage in the third quarter was only 26.8%, and the Grizzlies' shooting percentage was only 33.3%. 70-70, and the two sides drew!

"Damn it, I can't get rid of them no matter what!" During the holiday break, Chandler went crazy. Even when he was fighting the Lakers, Chandler didn't feel so troublesome.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams were still fighting. Until the last two minutes, the score had not been widened.

In the last 34 seconds, Dirk's desperate three-pointer widened the gap to 5 points. Later, facing the Grizzlies' foul tactics, the Mavericks did not make a mistake at the free throw line. After they fought for the whole game, the Mavericks finally won a game at the Grizzlies' home court 93-87.

"You ask me what it feels like to win a game? To be honest, we don't feel it. We must be ready at any time to face the battle of the next game!"

After winning this time, Dirk was far less than he was when he won the Grizzlies for the first time. Because he knew very well that in the game against the Grizzlies, he had to win four games before he could truly win.

Link had 19 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds today. After Marion calmed down, his defense was much better than in the previous game. I have to admit that it is much harder to score on the head of the "hackers" than to score on the head of Richard Jefferson. The total score was 2-1, and the Mavericks were temporarily leading.

g4 continued to be at the Grizzlies at home. Dirk quickly recovered his form after experiencing the trough of the third game. He scored 22 points in the half and 40 points in the game. The Mavericks were 15 points ahead of the Grizzlies at the most!

However, in the fourth quarter, the strong Grizzlies made the Mavericks bleed again. Link and Randolph shot left and right, filling in the gap before the regular time ended!

The two teams entered overtime, the Mavericks missed a three-pointer at the critical moment, and the Grizzlies reversed the Mavericks by 15 points, with a total score of 2-2!

"Every time, we thought that after they were killed, they would stand up and continue to fight. They are a great team, and they are the opponents that have caused us the biggest trouble in this playoffs, no doubt about it." After the game, Carlisle, facing the reporter's camera, kept shaking his head.

"We won, we have to keep fighting hard." Link's answer was very simple, he was exhausted.

g5, at the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Dirk was unstoppable at home and scored 26 points in the whole game. In the last 28 seconds of the game, Conley was not involved in three-pointers outside the three-point line, causing the Grizzlies to completely ruin the victory.

"Young players always pay the price in the playoffs. Even Kobe has had the famous three-time three-way play, let alone Mike Conley. The Mavericks are about to keep their home court, and the total score of the series is about to be rewritten again."

Mike Brynn kept regretting that except for the first game of the series, the Grizzlies actually had the chance to win the game every time they lost. But every time, they were only a little short of it.

Although Link hits another key two points later, the Grizzlies are still two points behind, and it is too late. 100 to 98, the Mavericks won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain at home, and the total score of the series has become 3 to 2, and the Mavericks get the match point!

"We haven't won yet, I don't want to celebrate the victory now." Nowitzki said, looking at Link.

On the Heat, the Big Three are already leading the Bulls 3-1. If nothing unexpected happens, they will advance to the finals tomorrow. The Mavericks have to continue fighting with the Grizzlies.

Even if the Mavericks win the game in the end, their physical reserves are definitely not as good as the Heat. I have to say that meeting the Memphis Grizzlies is the biggest misfortune of the Mavericks.

In this way, the Western Conference Finals entered Game 6 and returned to Memphis. Today, Dirk was winning. But he knew very well that the Grizzlies would not give up just like that, and they would continue to be in hell.

※※※

Nowitzki looked up at the score, and the difference was still 2 points. Once again, they were dragged into the mud and rolled in a mess.

But to be honest, Nowitzki is used to it. If the Mavericks easily won the game today, he would find it strange.

"Dike, how are you resting?" Carlisle walked up to Nowitzki and leaned over to ask.

Nowitzki nodded slightly, and he knew that it was time to go up and end everything. At this time, the game was about to end. Dirk was deliberately replaced and rested for two rounds in order to have enough physical strength to kill the game at the critical moment.

On the court, Gasol Jr. caused Tyson Chandler to commit a foul and the game entered the dead ball stage. Nowitzki stepped into the court and found that Link's eyes fell on him.

That kid's eyes were full of unwillingness! Logically speaking, it was already amazing that the Grizzlies could reach this stage this season. After all, when they lost Guy, people were discussing whether the Grizzlies could enter the playoffs. But now, the Grizzlies are already on the stage at the top of the West.

The game continued, Link sought opportunities through Randolph's off-ball cover. But this time, Nowitzki and Marion did not sit still and wait for death. The German pushed Marion towards Randolph, and ran towards Link himself! He took the initiative to change defense!

"Will Link play a misplaced opportunity?"

Link must play, and there is not much time left, and someone must stand up and score.

When Link saw that Deck was defending himself, he slowed down the pace. The best way to go small to big is to eat raw with speed. However, Link's speed is not very fast at this stage. Therefore, he plans to use rhythm changes to deceive the opponent.

Nowitzki spread his arms and was ready for the battle. As long as this goal can be defended, the Mavericks will basically take a big step towards the finals. This is the sixth game. The Heat have advanced 4-1 yesterday, and Nowitzki doesn't want to drag it down any longer!

Link controls the ball alternately with his left and right hands, and then suddenly retreats!

Nowitzki thought Link was going to step back and jump shot, so he quickly took a big step and blocked it. However, after the Germans were all focused, he realized that Link did not hold the ball with both hands after retreating, which was a fake action to worship Buddha!

Link took advantage of the opportunity of Nowitzki's center of gravity to move forward and broke through him! Nowitzki forced his turn, but his feet slipped and almost split on the spot.

Link broke into the inside and before "boxing champion" Tyson came to make up for defense, he threw a soft touch and scored the 20th point of the game!

"I'm in again! In the last 28 seconds of the game, Link equalized the score again! Once again, the Grizzlies broke the Mavericks' dream of the finals! It's so exciting, this is definitely one of the most exciting Western Conference finals in NBA history!" Mike Bryn was very glad that the Grizzlies once again pulled the Mavericks off the horse!

He didn't have any prejudice against the Mavericks, but he just couldn't bear to end this round of the series.

Nowitzki put his hands on his hips and shook his head. Once again, the Grizzlies put them in a tough battle. He really admired Link, everyone of the Grizzlies. They were fighting like a warrior, and they deserved all the praise.

But this time Dirk clenched his fists, and this time, he would not be dragged down by the Grizzlies again!

Nowitzki's shooting percentage in the playoffs this year reached 51.6% and his free throw percentage was 92.4%. The only one who could do this before was Larry Bird, the "trumpet king" in 1986. In addition, Nowitzki's three-point shooting percentage also reached 51.7%. In other words, Nowitzki's performance in the playoffs this year was simply legendary!

As long as he wants to kill the game, it is hard for anyone to stop him!

Kidd controls the ball outside the three-point line and delays the time. The Mavericks must play the 24-second attack. The less time left for the Grizzlies, the better.

In the end, with 5 seconds left in the offensive time, Kidd steadily dropped the ball to Nowitzki. As soon as Nowitzki received the ball, he encountered Link's double-team!

"Link and Zach, the Grizzlies' forward line double-teamed again!"

Marion was ready to catch the ball outside the three-point line, but Dirk did not intend to pass the ball. It was not that he did not trust his teammates, but that he knew his teammates too well. Marion did not even have 20% of his three-point shooting percentage this year's playoffs, and Dirk dared not take this risk!

So, with the double-teaming, Nowitzki completed the turnover jump shot. Link and Randolph both blocked, but the German shooting rhythm was not disturbed at all!

"Damn it!" Nowitzki's attack point was too high, and Link and Randolph could not interfere at all. For some reason, Link was shocked and felt that something was wrong.

The next second, Nowitzki completed the move. The moment Link turned his head and looked, the rebound was red and the basketball was hollowed into the net!

"Dike! He almost killed the Western Conference Finals! The Grizzlies only have 8 seconds left. Unless they can score a three-pointer, the game will be over!" Mike Bryn felt extremely nervous because the Grizzlies had no timeout at this time!

In the last 8 seconds, Hollins had no choice but to make any arrangements, and the Grizzlies had to advance in the backcourt. In the last game, Conley missed the victory because of a three-no-touch Grizzlies. Today, facing the same dilemma, Mike Brynn didn't know what the Grizzlies would do.

The Grizzlies players don’t know who should perform the last shot. In short, whoever has the chance will take action!

As soon as Conley received the bottom line ball, he was pressed close to Kid. The Mavericks used the full-game tight defense, which prevented the Grizzlies from even crossing the half in the last 8 seconds!

Link has been wandering in the frontcourt, hoping that the ball can be passed. But after three seconds, Link still didn't see the ball!

So, he explored the midfield line, returned to the backcourt, and responded to his teammate. Conley passed the ball to Link. Link looked up at the time, three seconds! Randolph was ahead, but nowticked. Link could only resist Marion's defense and took action directly after halftime!

Nowitzki admitted that he was scared and sweated in cold sweat. It was not until the moment the basketball was knocked out that the Germans recovered.

They won? They won!

"Link, the midfield line missed a three-pointer with a long distance from the long distance. The Grizzlies were completely forced to death in the last 8 seconds! 104 to 102, the Dallas Mavericks won the away game! 4 to 2, they are going to the finals!"

Seeing the basketball hitting the frame, Link stared at the basket blankly and fell to the Grizzlies' logo in the center of the court.

Nowitzki, who completed his desperate shot, did not celebrate the upgrade victory, but went to Link.
Chapter completed!
