Damien Lillard took the ball outside the three-point line and his upper body quickly shook, trying to deceive Conley.

But Conley was selected as the point guard who was selected as the second team of the best defensive team last season. He was selected as the second team of the best defensive team without a huge advantage in his body, which is enough to prove Conley's experienced defensive end.

Lillard accelerated the breakthrough, but was blocked by Conley. Under the court, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts stood up nervously. Is everything over?

No!

The moment Lillard had a physical confrontation with Conley, he quickly turned around with Conley as the axis!

No one knows how Lillard adjusted in such a short time, nor does it know whether Lillard had planned it or whether his killer instinct was working.

In that moment, Lillard turned around and threw Conley away and killed the basket!

Terry Stotts raised his fists in advance and prepared to celebrate this beautiful and crucial goal!

At this time, with only 36 seconds left before the end of the game, the Trail Blazers trailed the Grizzlies 6 points away.

If Lillard can score this goal, the Trail Blazers will have a chance. If Lillard fails this time, the Trail Blazers will basically miss the victory.

Whether the Trail Blazers can win today will directly affect the history of the league!

Since March to March 19th, more than half a month has passed, and the Grizzlies have not yet lost!

Link once again said that he said on Hill and Rachel that the Grizzlies would win all 72 wins and championships, so from March to now, the Grizzlies have another 10-game winning streak! After the Cavaliers and the Wizards, the Grizzlies have defeated the Nets, Bulls, Bobcats, Pelicans, Raptors, 76ers and Jazz.

Moreover, no team can get close to victory, and no team can make the Grizzlies pay the price. Therefore, the Grizzlies have become the first team in NBA history to achieve 4 10 consecutive victories in a single season.

With a record of 61 wins and 5 losses, they proudly waited for the day when the regular season ended.

Finally, on March 19th, the first team that could make the Grizzlies feel the pressure appeared.

The Portland Trail Blazers played very tenaciously in Memphis, and they dragged the game to the end and still did not give up.

Therefore, Lillard's goal will not only change the situation of this game, but also may change the history of the entire league!

Nowadays, the teams that can make the Grizzlies lose can count, and the Trail Blazers are one of them. If they ultimately fail, the possibility of the Grizzlies breaking the 72-win record will be greater again.

Lillard's layup touched the hearts of countless people. Therefore, when he turned around with a beautiful back and passed Conley, countless fans were shouting for this mature second-year point guard.

Lillard's breakthrough speed is very fast. Although he is not a point guard like Westbrook who relies more on his body, this does not mean that Lillard's physical fitness is ordinary.

On the contrary, Lillard's physical fitness is definitely top-notch when placed in the number one position.

Gasol just came to his senses, while Randolph was pulled to the middle distance by Aldridge. The Grizzlies had no players defending the penalty area, and Lillard's layup seemed to be sure to win!

In the last 30 seconds, if the Trail Blazers can narrow the gap to within 4 points, there will be a chance in everything!

Lillard jumped lightly and reached out and handed the ball to the basket. In front of the TV, countless fans were already cheering in advance, excited for Lillard's key goal.

Lillard was already thinking about whether to grab a three-pointer in the next round.

What I don’t know about this Trail Blazers’ No. 0 is that it’s too early.

As soon as Lillard threw the ball out, he felt his head suddenly turn into a black mass. He suddenly felt a chill on his back. Could it be that Link was following him!?

It's impossible! When Lillard just broke through Conley, Link was clearly still standing in front of Batum! How could he be so fast!?

Before Lillard turned his head and looked back, Link's body rushed up from Lillard. Grizzlies No. 0 raised his long arm and ruthlessly slapped the basketball that had just been picked up in the air.

"Dong!"

The next second, the tempered glass of the rebound made a muffled sound. The basketball that was originally in high-speed sports suddenly stopped and was pressed tightly on the rebound by Link's big hand.

"Pin the big hat! Link got the third block of this game! Another, another iconic chase! It's over, everything is over, Link's block ends everything! All Lillard's previous actions were perfect, but in Memphis, you will never know the result until the last moment. The Trail Blazers have no chance, and Link ruthlessly erased all their previous efforts!"

This is not the first time Hubby Brown has seen Link perform a good chase, but every time Link's pursuit makes him excited as if he is getting adrenaline.

Before Link, James and Josh Smith were considered the two active small forwards in the league to catch up. But now when it comes to chasing big, most fans think of Link first.

After completing the block, Link did not feel proud, but quickly threw the ball into the frontcourt.

The camera moved quickly with the orange-red afterimage, and then it was discovered that Iguodala had already run to the frontcourt.

It is exciting to complete the pursuit, but Link is always clear on the basketball court and is able to make the most correct decisions at any time.

Link's long pass from the backcourt was very accurate, and Iguodala received the basketball steadily. At this time, the Trail Blazers players had just run through the half.

Iguodala took two steps and took off and dunk directly. He and Link often performed such fast attack cooperation after long passes in the backcourt, and were already familiar with all this.

Terry Stots looked at Iguodala who had risen in the air and put down his just raised fist.

He knew that his team had doubled and ended by Link.

"boom!"

Iguodala's hands were dunked like a heavy hammer, smashing the Trail Blazers' head like a watermelon.

In the last 32 seconds, the Trail Blazers not only did not narrow the gap to 4 points, but instead were counterattacked by the Grizzlies, widening the gap to 8 points!

Link completely ended the suspense with a big chase and an extremely accurate long pass from the backcourt!

Stotts immediately called for a timeout, and the Trail Blazers were still struggling. But at this time everyone knew that the Trail Blazers' struggle was just useless work.

Even Lillard, who scored 32 points today, lowered his proud head.

The tense and exciting scene was only a moment. After the game was suspended, the fans and commentators took a deep breath and calmed down their excitement.

"The game is actually over, and it is difficult for the Trail Blazers to overtake in the last half minute. Link's final block and long pass are really pleasing to the eye. Are you ready? The Grizzlies are about to embrace their 11th straight win." Hubby Brown looked at the Grizzlies' recent schedule and couldn't believe they played so easily in March.

Physical fitness and injury issues did not bother the Grizzlies because most of their games were very easy to win.

"Yes, an incredible record. I think those who think the Grizzlies cannot break the 72-win record must be quite nervous now. After this game, the Grizzlies have 62 wins and 5 losses! The Trail Blazers are the team that is most likely to stop the Grizzlies, and everyone has seen it. They did almost do it, but they still did not pass Link's level. However, next, the Grizzlies will face a bigger challenge than the Trail Blazers!"

Beside Hubby Brown, Jeff Van Gundy touched his bald head excitedly.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers can only be considered a warm-up, because after this game, the long-awaited East away game, back-to-back will be started! The Grizzlies will continue to fight the Pacers and the Heat, and this round of back-to-back is also considered the key to whether the Grizzlies can win 72 wins.

In the ideal state of many people, the Grizzlies face the Trail Blazers, and if the Pacers and Heat lose three consecutive times, it will be difficult to break the 72-win record.

But the Grizzlies showed great determination when they opened the first game today, which undoubtedly gave people greater expectations for the Grizzlies' two opponents.

The Pacers and the Heat, now truly became the last line of defense to stop the Grizzlies from breaking the 72-win record.

But judging from Link's performance today, he will not let people succeed easily.

Just as Van Gundy fantasized how exciting the last two games would be, the electronic beeps sounded. 108 to 102, the Portland Trail Blazers tried their best to fight to the last moment. But they were still one step away from defeating the Grizzlies.

Losing one point and losing ten points are essentially not much different. The Trail Blazers' four-game winning streak was broken by a blockade and a long pass by Link, while the Grizzlies started their back-to-back journey in the East with a record of 62 wins and 5 losses!

After the game, Lillard and Link hugged each other friendly.

When Lillard just turned around and passed Conley with a beautiful turn, he thought it would be his own night. But later he understood a truth - if he wanted to beat the Grizzlies, it depends on Link's expression.

You defeated Conley, Randolph, Iguodala, Tony Allen and others. If you want to defeat the Grizzlies, you must cross Link's body.

And this is exactly the most difficult step to defeat the Grizzlies.

"Congratulations to you Link, you scored another triple-double. What time has this season been?" Although Lillard lost the game, he still gave him congratulations because he had a good personal relationship with Link.

"I've been in the seventh triple-double this season, haha. The last goal scared me out of a cold sweat, Damien." Link scratched his head, and today he scored another triple-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. However, compared to triple-double, Link prefers the final victory.

If I had chased that ball one step slower, the result would not be certain now.

"But I was still ended by you, right? Come on, Link. I hope you and your team will still go well in the next back-to-back trip to the East. I won't bother you to embrace victory, see you next time." Lillard finished speaking and turned around and left.

But just after walking out, Lillard shook his head.

Forget it, it's better not to meet Link.

After seeing off Lillard and the Trail Blazers, Link welcomed excited reporters.

Although the Trail Blazers lost today, they also proved that the Grizzlies are not invincible. The 6-point difference is not an insurmountable gap.

The Trail Blazers failed to cross over, so can the Pacers and the Heat cross over?

The reporters asked Link about this question, "Are you mentally prepared for the next two difficult away games back-to-back?"

Link had a relaxed expression, as if he didn't know that his next two opponents were first in the East and second in the East.

"You should ask Bird and George if they are ready to meet the best team in the league!"
