943: Death is coming
Link stood on the free throw line, like a god of death carrying a sickle.
All Oaklanders were stunned. It was hard for them to believe that the 21-point gap was simply closed. It was also hard for them to believe that with Klay Thompson showing his super-god performance, the Grizzlies still stubbornly resisted until now.
What is even more unimaginable is that less than a minute ago, Klay Thompson, who scored 49 points, was still the player with the highest score in the game. But now dozens of seconds later, he is no longer.
"Link scored 8 points in a row. His score in this game has reached 50 points, surpassing Klay Thompson! This is the second time that Link has scored more than 50 in a single game! And Link has to make a free throw, and his score will increase!"
Mark Jackson felt his scalp tingling. A few dozen seconds ago, when Klay Thompson hit that key three-pointer, Mark Jackson concluded that the Warriors would definitely win.
At that time, no one would have thought that Link could hit a three-pointer against Green's defense. He could steal the basketball with an incredible "save" move, and he could continue to play with Green and Bogut, and get a 2+1 chance to score.
Bogut is very upset now. Since he was cruelly locked up by Link today, he has been furious in his heart.
And this fire has not been released until now.
Throughout today, Bogut had never completed even a successful defense against Link.
At the last critical moment, I also gave Link a 2+1.
Bogut blamed himself very much, and also hated Link very much.
If it weren't for that number 0, this would have been a perfect match
From players to commentators to fans, everyone on the Warriors is very nervous now.
At the same time, they were also shrouded in fear created by Link.
Before, everyone thought Link would continue to be weak at critical moments. But it turns out that when it is time to be tough, Link will never slacken.
For most players, the super gods at critical moments are just an occasional flash in the pan.
But for Link, weakness at critical moments is a flash in the pan. As long as he performs normally, he can always create magic at critical moments!
In this fearful atmosphere, Link, who adjusted his breathing, made a free throw.
The fans in the Oracle Arena wished that the basketball was turned away by the basket, but unfortunately, things went against their wishes.
The basketball went into the net and didn't even touch the basket.
111 to 111, the Grizzlies tied the score for the first time in the whole game! Link also scored his 51st point in this game, pressing the magical Klay Thompson under him!
Steve Cole immediately paused and arranged the last attack of the game. The rapid whistle further increased the tension on the scene.
Everyone was panicked, except for Link and his teammates.
"God, you are God!" Iguodala rushed up and touched Link's chest. Even though she had been a teammate with Link for several years, Iguodala was still unable to immunize Link's magic.
"Link, will we win right? We will win!" Jimmy Butler hugged Link directly, and the young tough defender felt that he was saved.
"Of course Jimmy, when we take the first lead in this game, it's time for us to win!" Link said, touching Butler's head.
It has to be said that Link likes this feeling quite well.
Now, the game has 26 seconds left. The answer left for the Grizzlies is very simple. If you do your last defense and attack, they can maintain the first place in the West and retain the glory of Memphis.
Of course, it is not easy to complete this task. 26 seconds is enough for Cole to develop a perfect attack for the Warriors.
The Warriors' performance at critical moments is actually not bad at all. They have many points to end the game. If the Grizzlies don't do their defense well after going up, everything will be in vain.
But the Grizzlies will not be afraid of any challenges now, at least in terms of morale, they are no longer at a disadvantage.
Even the morale of the Grizzlies is slightly higher than that of the Warriors. After all, the 9-0 wave just now made the Grizzlies climb up from the edge of the cliff.
Anyone who can't kill me will make me stronger.
This sentence is not nonsense.
This time, Jogel first arranged a defensive tactic. He signaled everyone to strictly monitor people and implement an unlimited strategy of switching defenses. In any case, it is necessary to ensure that there is a defensive player in front of the Warriors players.
As for offense, after this defense is successful, Jogel will ask for a timeout to make a special arrangement.
The game started soon, and the fans on the scene felt that they were almost overwhelmed.
Already 66 wins, why is it still so difficult to win the first place in the West?
The Warriors players all looked nervous, but compared to the Grizzlies, they were more relaxed.
The Grizzlies have put a lot of pressure on them since the Warriors served the sideline.
It is not easy for Warriors players to successfully send the ball out.
In the end, Green had to pass the ball in a hasty way before the violation, and the pass target was Curry.
Link rushed forward behind Curry and stabbed the basketball. Fortunately, Curry's reaction was quick enough and he immediately ran up to control the basketball, so he could control the ball in his hand without any danger.
Then, Curry began to delay time. It was obvious that the Warriors would not leave the Grizzlies with a chance to fight back.
Now there are 26 seconds left in the game, and the cleaner the Warriors spend their time, the safer they are.
Time passed by minute by minute, but the Grizzlies' formation was as stable as a rock, without a trace of gap.
The longer the time is spent, the more nervous the Warriors players are.
With 8 seconds left in the offensive time, Curry moved! At the same time, Klay Thompson also began to move without the ball.
He first moved from the right to the left, and during this time, Draymond Green also set up a no-ball cover for Thompson.
But just as Butler and Green were entangled, Thompson immediately ran back and returned to the outside of the three-point line on the right!
Klay Thompson is definitely a top off-ball scorer, not only because of his accurate shooting, but also because of his superb level of running without ball.
His back-run was enough to get him to throw away most of his opponents.
Seeing this, Curry passed the ball in time to Thompson. Today, Cole did not allow Curry and Link to face each other head-on. So, the last attack was arranged to Thompson, who was in a super-good state today!
Thompson received the basketball and thought it was an opportunity to block the throat with one sword. But before he could aim at the basket, he was entangled by Butler!
"Jimmy Butler rushed back immediately, his defense was unscathed! He blocked Thompson, and Thompson could only take one step back and forcefully attacked in the interference!"
As soon as Mark Jackson on the commentary stage finished speaking, the basketball hit the side of the basket with a "bang".
Klay Thompson missed the shot in the last moment!
The Buddha's light failed to continue to shine, and Thompson failed to continue his magic.
Marc Gasol struggled to catch the defensive rebound under Bogut's dirty pull, and at the same time, Dave Joggel called to stop the game.
The Grizzlies' defense was successful!
"No" Steve Cole fell to the bench.
Although the two sides are tied now, the time left for the Grizzlies is only 1.8 seconds.
But Cole knew very well that this was still unsafe for the Warriors. Because the killer on the Grizzlies was colder than Klay Thompson!
Link walked off the court and the live camera gave him a close-up.
Now, the initiative is all in the hands of the Grizzlies and Link.
The 20 seconds of the Grizzlies' last timeout was the most difficult 20 seconds for Warriors fans.
These 20 seconds are extremely long, because every second, they live in fear.
When the electronic beeps sounded and the Grizzlies players returned to the stage, the entire Oracle Arena was silent.
They knew that the best killer in the world was coming to punish them!
Jaina sat on the sidelines, not daring to show off. However, the man beside her had a faint smile on her face.
For him, it was a perfect match.
Link felt very proud when he looked at the fearful expressions of Warriors fans and even some Warriors players.
The enemy's fear seemed to be Link's food. The more they were afraid, the more excited Link would be.
Link stepped into the court and looked at Green, who looked solemn beside him, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, you know? It's so fun to be scared."
After saying that, Link rang out with a back run and got Gasol's exquisite side pass.
1.8 seconds, in most people's eyes, this means taking the ball. But in Link's eyes, this means still time to dribble!
Even if it was only 1.8 seconds, Link was still calm. This is the big heart!
Link, who received the basketball on the right side of the three-point line, took a step forward, and then drifted and shot directly.
While drifting, Link's body leaned back extremely, which made Green unable to block Link's shot at all.
Kobe saw this scene on the field and felt like he was a different life.
He closed his eyes and then heard the wonderful sound.
"brush!"
"Beep"
Time is over and basketball is added to the Internet.
Chapter completed!
