1120: King of Key Balls
As basketball entered the network, the cheers in the Federal Express Arena continued to rise despite already being very enthusiastic.
Link waved his arm excitedly, but fortunately the referee flicked quickly, otherwise he would definitely replicate the tragedy that Boozer punched the referee in the belly when he celebrated.
After swinging his fist, Link was hugged by Wade who rushed up from behind.
In the stands, all the fans stood up and cheered for the incredible layup.
In front of the TV, I wonder how many fans opened their mouths in surprise.
There were only 2.8 seconds left in the game, and Link's goal gave the Grizzlies a 4-point lead!
4 points, this is not a big gap in basketball games.
But under this situation, the 4-point gap is insurmountable.
With a steal, a high-difficulty jump shot against defense and an incredible layup, Link once again demonstrated his unparalleled and powerful key ball ability at the critical moment of the fourth quarter!
"Link is definitely a star who can play tough games. Do you know why the Grizzlies always win? Because in the last three minutes of the game, he won't just think about passing the ball like Chris Webber! I have no malice to Webber, I just want to say...Link is so awesome!"
Hubby Brown could no longer suppress his emotions. Elderly people of his age rarely had such emotional moments.
However, Link made Hubby Brown jump up and down again and again.
After commenting on Link's game for a long time, Hubby Brown felt that he had become younger.
Yes, there is a reason why the Grizzlies have such a good record.
First of all, the Grizzlies' hard strength is already above most teams. In this case, Link's key ball ability beyond imagination can also allow the Grizzlies to win most 55 games.
With such a leader in the formation, it is difficult for the Grizzlies to not have an outstanding record.
Link never disappoints people at critical moments. If the league has statistics on the scoring data at critical moments this season, Link will definitely be the first in the league.
He is the well-deserved key ball king!
As everyone in the audience cheered for Link, **Vic used the last timeout on his hand.
With 2.8 seconds left in the game, the Spurs were 4 points behind. It is obvious that even if **Vic was extremely smart, it would be almost impossible for him to reverse the game under such circumstances.
The old man was just unwilling to give up, and he wanted to make the final struggle.
But this timeout seems to be a call from the fans to make a special trip to free up time for everyone to watch the playback.
The moment the game was paused, the slow-motion replay of Link's layup just now was played on the big screen on the spot.
His shocking movements were finally fully displayed in front of the fans.
The fans finally clearly witnessed how Link deliberately took the ball out of his hand in the air to avoid the blocking, and then caught the basketball and completed the layup.
Everyone's mouth has turned into an "o" shape. No matter how senior fans are, they have never seen such a goal.
If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, fans would never imagine this kind of picture.
When a person is in the air, it is basically impossible to get the ball again under normal circumstances. Many mistakes are caused by the offensive party's escape in the air.
Moreover, even if you really get a basketball again, almost no one can readjust and complete a layup in such a short time.
Sometimes, the player who took the basketball after taking off his hands and then got it, his body had already landed on the ground.
But Link completed this incredible goal in front of the best defender in the league.
His terrifying ability to stagnate the air and reaction speed are amazing.
No wonder Leonard covered his head in pain after Link scored.
What made the "face paralyzed guy" feel desperate is not the 4-point gap, but Link himself!
When he witnessed Link scored that incredible goal, Leonard's self-confidence was completely destroyed.
He knew that a guy who could score that kind of goal would be impossible to be defeated!
"Incredible, except for this word, I have no idea how to describe this goal. We don't know whether Link subconsciously avoids the block in the air or whether he had planned to do so. But in any case, it's enough to show Link's strength. Kavay performed very well today, but unfortunately, he met an invincible opponent. He is not weak, but the opponent is too strong!"
**Vicy looked at Leonard. Although the No. 2 still had no expression, **Vicy could see unwillingness and loss in his eyes.
Yes, he had a fight with Link all the time, and he did not perform badly, and he played 50% with Link.
But at the last moment, he was defeated by Link three times in a row, resulting in a complete loss of the game...
It is difficult to accept such a thing on anyone.
**Vicci shook his head, and he felt that he was not able to take on the tactical board.
Even his own confidence suffered a huge blow.
Although the game has 2.8 seconds left, the fans on the scene have begun to celebrate the victory in advance.
However, before appearing, Link still clapped his hands and shouted, "Concentrate!"
This sentence eliminates all the possibility of the Spurs creating miracles.
In the end, Leonard failed to hit the forced shot outside the three-point line. The moment the basketball shot hit, the red light on the rebound also lit up.
At this time, Hubby Brown said the old saying: "In Memphis, only the grizzly bears can create miracles!"
86 to 82, with Link's "three consecutive wins" in the last moment, the Grizzlies narrowly passed by 4 points, increasing their winning streak to 16 games!
Link scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, which is a relatively ordinary data for Link. What's more, Link's shooting percentage today is still far below average.
But no one would think Link did not perform well in this game, so basketball is not a simple data analysis.
This difficult defensive battle ended with the Grizzlies winning.
After the game, Link shook hands with Leonard. I have to say that if Leonard hadn't pushed Link into a desperate situation today, Link would never have thought of such a crazy move.
Link respects Leonard. The player who can use defense to force him into desperate situations in the league has basically disappeared.
Leonard is arguably the only one.
Link respects such an opponent from the bottom of his heart.
Leonard also politely hugged Link and shook hands, looking very sportsmanly.
But everyone knew that he must be very uncomfortable at this time.
Since losing to the Grizzlies in the tiebreak last summer, Leonard has been waiting for a chance to take revenge.
Now I finally waited for my first fight with the Grizzlies, but this was the ending.
Losing in the key round is the most sad way to lose, which is even more uncomfortable than losing 20 points directly to the Grizzlies.
Some people seem to be not much different from him.
But this slight gap is likely to never be crossed.
Now, Leonard feels this way in his heart.
No matter how good you do, Link can do better than you...
After the game, even **Vic, who has always liked to talk a lot, couldn't get sexy today.
"Link's goal was incredible, I can't even imagine how he came up with that kind of action. I was very satisfied with my players in this game, they played a glorious game, but... they were not very lucky. Link's key ball ability is intimidating."
**Vicci curled his lips. The team that has firmly ranked first in the strength rankings this year is really not easy to mess with.
Link also praised Leonard at the press conference, saying: "Kavai's defense has caused me great trouble. I was taken twice by him today and stole it once. He is really strong."
However, as a winner, the more Link praised Leonard, the more he could highlight his greatness.
Such a powerful opponent, Link, has done it, how can he not be great?
After this crazy night, the Grizzlies' record turned into 49 wins and 4 losses.
Chapter completed!
