The San Antonio Spurs wanted to destroy the Grizzlies all the time, but they never succeeded.

In the third quarter, Link's make Popovich almost mentally collapsed through Split's patch.

Success is clearly right in front of you, but it suddenly died. Who can bear this kind of thing being repeated so much?

Popovich didn't know at that time, but it turned out to be just the beginning of Link's torture himself.

In the second half, Link played very fiercely, but in the end he helped the Grizzlies stabilize the score and was not pulled away by the Spurs in one fell swoop.

Whenever the Spurs were preparing to take the game away, the guy who was sweating, gasping and had a different complexion from everyone on the field would always stand up and give the Spurs a blow.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Parker made a throw shot and the score difference widened to 6 points. Then, Link directly pulled up the shot after a test step outside the three-point line, and the score difference was narrowed to 3 points again!

In the seventh minute of the third quarter, Ginobili made a breakthrough in Europe and made a magical improvement under Gasol's backup defense, and the score difference was widened to 5 points!

Before this advantage was heated up, Link used a layup from the switch to hit the Spurs back before the release.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Parker made a three-pointer, and the Frenchman was quite strong today. But then, Link caught an offensive rebound in the three-second zone, and then assisted Conley to enter the net with a three-pointer!

This kind of thing has continued until now, with 42 seconds left before the end of the game. Ginobili's layup was blocked by Link and the Grizzlies got the ball.

When he saw Ginobili breaking through Iguodala and successfully layup, Popovich couldn't help but cheer. As a result, the damn No. 0 came out again, suppressing Popovich's excitement.

Popovich felt that he was about to vomit blood! At the same time, he was also amazed. He was so tired that he could burst out his strength. What a terrible perseverance!

What a terrible desire to win!

Popovich carefully observed that in the fourth quarter, when both sides made free throws, Link seized the opportunity to support his knees and rest. This proved that Link was really exhausted, and even if he was physically good, he could not withstand such tossing.

However, Link always forces himself to do something beyond his physical fitness. It can be seen that Link does not allow this game to lose.

The moment the Grizzlies player got the ball, Stevens immediately called to stop the game. At this time, there were only a few dozen seconds before the end of the game, and any ball could change the game trend.

Link sat on the bench, and his chest was fluctuating violently. The live camera also gave Link a close-up and played the data of this game below the screen.

41 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, plus 1 steal and 2 blocks, 40 points, double-double!

Popovich forced Link to play singles, but Link did not "fail" to Popovich's expectations.

Not only did he not lose his temper in the second half, he also played amazing efficiency in the first and second half.

"This is the third time Link has scored 40 this season, and his explosiveness is beyond doubt. But because the shooting power is large in Link's hands, even if Link scores 40 points, the Grizzlies are still only tied with the Spurs. For Link, this is a great game and a cruel game. If he loses, then the sacrifices he makes will be in vain." Hubby Brown's hands were shaking slightly when he looked at Link's data.

The third time in a single season scored 40, did anyone dare to imagine that the Grizzlies could produce such a star?

Link has tried his best, and he has made Popovich pay a huge price. But the game has not yet ended, and who will end up laughing to the end, but it may not be certain.

I scored 40 points but lost the game. What's the point of 40 points?

Stevens arranged the offense and defense of the next round, and left the last timeout just in case. After the timeout, the Spurs replaced the players. Popovich replaced Split with Dior, Duncan played the No. 5 position. Green replaced Ginobili, stabilized the defense and three-pointers.

And the Grizzlies are still the same. The Grizzlies' five starters are very tired, and Link is the hardest. Conley is tired, with Vasquis instead. Iguodala is tired, with Jimmy Butler and Tony Allen. The Big Black Bears are tired, with Spets, Arthur, and the Big White Bears are tired, with Azeli.

Only Link, he has no one to replace him. Therefore, he is also the player with the longest playing time in the Grizzlies today.

Now the two sides are dating, so the Spurs are very concerned about defense this time. Whoever wins this round will get the key to the road to victory.

Even Leonard is a little scared when facing Link now. It is not a wonderful experience to get 41 points on his head by someone. Although these 41 points are not all taken by Leonard, today the one who mainly matches Link is Laonard. So, he has to take the blame.

At this time, Popovich had actually changed his strategy. He admitted that his strategy of forcing Link to play singles was wrong. Nonsense, he got 41 points from being singled by others. If this is considered successful, then is there any defense in this world that fails?

So, he specifically instructed Duncan, "Help defend Link! If Link breaks through, protect the basket immediately!"

This time, Link did not hold the ball, but used the ball to cut into the penalty area and received a support pass from Gasol Jr. Popovich must admit that Stevens' tactical arrangement is very exquisite. In order to prevent Link from being hindered, Gasol Jr. deliberately let Gasol Jr. reach the middle distance to support, so he also pulled away the Spurs' center.

Popovich nodded with praise, worthy of being the famous young coach of NCAA, and the man who made the Grizzlies change drastically in the first year of the Grizzlies.

But the same thing is said, it is the players who play on the court and decide the situation of the game after all.

After seeing Link catch the ball and attack the frame, Duncan took two steps to the basket and was very decisive!

Link thought Duncan would not come up, so he was not ready to pass the ball. When he had already made a layup, he found that Duncan had come back to defend.

At this moment, Link didn't have the strength to curl up in the air and use a pull rod to avoid the blocking, nor did he have the strength to turn the shot into a pass and send the ball to Gasol.

He was too tired, his physical fitness had long exceeded the final critical point and had long been exhausted. Faced with Duncan's repair, Link was powerless.

In the end, Duncan leaped gently and with his excellent judgment, he easily slapped the basketball in Link's hand. Although Duncan's jumping ability is better than nothing, as an old monster who can block shots while standing, he will not miss this exhausted layup.

Link fell to the ground in a mess. He wanted to get up and turn over to chase the defense immediately, but he really couldn't do it. When he got up and was about to speed up, the Spurs had already formed a situation in the frontcourt with more and less.

Parker eventually used his mid-range shot to knock all Memphis fans into despair.

"Tony Parker scored the 30th point in this game! The Frenchman almost..." Hubby Brown paused. He remembered that the Grizzlies played so hard today, and that Link had played so perfectly, so he couldn't bear to say the next thing, "The Frenchman almost killed the game..."

Duncan rushed up to hug Parker, Split waved his towel frantically, and Dior kept waving his fists. The Spurs players seemed to have begun to celebrate the victory.

Once again, the Spurs are on the verge of victory. But this time, can Link stand up and stop them?

Looking at the Spurs players who were celebrating, Link limped down the field with his waist and finally couldn't leave. He greeted two teammates to help him.

Stevens and all Memphis fans were shocked, but fortunately, Link just had cramps.

It's really too tiring.

Seeing Link's condition, Popovich's brow finally stretched out. After dragging him down for 48 minutes, he finally dragged him down!

Stevens hurriedly asked the team doctor to massage Link, and they had the last 10.3 seconds left. This physical condition was a waste of time because it was definitely not enough to hold on. Therefore, the only way was to get a three-pointer!

Of course, Stevens was not prepared to let Link perform the last shot. After all, he was so tired that his hit rate was not necessarily guaranteed. Mike Conley was Stevens' last choice!

But just before Stevens spoke, Link, who was sitting on the ground for massage, spoke first.
Chapter completed!
