As soon as the game started, both sides had offensive and defensive attacks and were very lively.

The consecutive goals of the two teams seem to have set the tone for this game.

This showdown, no, will definitely be played quite fiercely in this entire series.

The Warriors continued to lead, but Durant was a little uneasy.

He didn't know what Link had just said to Jokic, which made Durant care very much.

After talking to Link, Jokic no longer seemed to be depressed.

To be honest, Jokic did not leave much impression on Durant in the Western Conference Finals last season. In his opinion, Jokic is just a slightly outstanding second-round pick.

But this year, Jokic's outstanding performance has prevented Durant from turning a blind eye to him.

That guy is definitely capable of causing trouble for the Warriors!

It is precisely because of this that Durant is afraid.

Link and Jokic have very high ball quotations, and God knows what they are planning.

However, the Grizzlies' attack afterwards were very dull.

Jokic and Link did not play any exquisite cooperation, and the offense ended with Wade's emergency stop and mid-range shot.

Durant couldn't believe that this time he had prevented the Grizzlies so easily. Could it be that Link and Jokic just bluffed?

This is not impossible!

Link has great skills, and it is impossible for him to burst out with just a few words every time.

Durant instantly felt much more relieved. Now, he just wants to focus on the offense!

The Warriors' offense is still fierce, and Durant is still very active.

This time, Durant chose to use a back-to-body single to deal with Link.

However, Durant was very unhappy when dribbling on his back.

In addition to blocking the back and preventing Durant from pushing easily, Link kept reaching out to interfere with Durant's dribble.

Moreover, Link was very accurate in attacking, and no attempt to steal caused a foul.

Durant played very uncomfortable and ended up having to turn over and jump shot without being fully prepared.

With the lesson just now, Link jumped up and interfered with the shooting and reacted very quickly!

Even Durant could no longer easily aim at the basket this time.

"Bang!"

The basketball hit the box and Durant missed the first time in this game under Link's defense!

The moment Durant made a shot, Link immediately ran to the frontcourt.

Durant had no time to be upset, so he hurriedly followed.

Want to fight back? There is no way to go!

Durant turned his head to look at the basket while chasing Link.

Sure enough, Jokic had already grabbed the rebound and was about to launch a long pass from the backcourt!

"Come on, come on, send the ball over!" Durant thought silently in his heart, waiting for Jokic to pass the ball.

The young players are indeed young players. They have suffered losses just once, but they are still ungrateful.

Then, let’s give him a long memory again!

Jokic raised the basketball and was about to pass it, but he suddenly smashed the ball to the ground as soon as he got out!

"What!?" Durant, who was about to jump and cut off the basketball, was shocked. This was not a high ball, but a pass from the ground?

Starting a hit from the backcourt pass? That fat man is crazy!?

Of course not, Jokic was just following Link's instructions.

Indeed, it is incredible for ordinary players to launch a long pass from the backcourt.

But for Jokic, this is no different from ordinary passes!

The basketball rebounded vigorously after hitting the ground, passed through several people's legs, and then jumped accurately to Link's side!

Because Durant had just raised all his focus and was about to jump up and cut off the basketball, he didn't have time to lower his waist now.

So he could only watch Link receive this pass that pierced through almost the entire half and left!

"What kind of fairy pass is this!? Are you sure this is a ball that can be passed by No. 5 position origin!?" Mike Bryn was completely shocked.

After so many years of commentator games, he has never seen a big man pass the ball like this!

Indeed, long-distance passes are not the first time that they have appeared in the playoffs.

Nash, Rondo, Paul and Link have all had the experience of successfully completing long-distance passes.

But they are all outside players without exception. Link is a forward in this ranks!

Now, there is actually a center in!

The moment Link received the basketball, he felt extremely relieved.

Now, it is time for the whole world to have a good experience and experience the full strength of this fat man’s second round pick!

It has been several years since the Grizzlies selected Jokic. Now, it is the time to show their results!

After two big steps, Link broke into the penalty area and scored with one hand!

Durant failed to stop the Grizzlies from hitting a counterattack again, and it was more difficult than he thought.

The big fat man who looks unthreatening is now playing a role in the Grizzlies!

Link pointed at Jokic and thanked him for his wonderful story.

Jokic also smiled honestly. Sure enough, following Link's advice, you will definitely not make any mistakes!

Of course, when Link and Jokic whispered just now, it was not just as simple as letting him pass the attack.

There are many tasks that Link assigned him.

In the subsequent attack, Curry used a high throw to hit the board and once again took the lead for the Warriors.

Conley has been defending very hard, but a guy like Curry is actually just like Link, and it is difficult for you to really limit him.

Durant is on high alert. This time, he will never let Link score easily again!

After running to the Warriors' half, Link neither took the ball nor ran too hard.

After he stood at the bottom corner on the right, he simply stood still.

It seems that this attack seems to require someone other than Link to handle it.

Conley pushed forward slowly, making gestures while moving forward.

At this time, Jokic suddenly mentioned the middle distance and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Green is on guard and he knows very well how strong Jokic is now at the low post. Therefore, he needs to try his best to ensure that Jokic is away from the penalty area.

Jokic received the basketball, but his next move made everyone stunned.

I saw that he did not make any pause after receiving the basketball, but turned his back to the basket and threw the ball back without looking back!

Before this, Link, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, suddenly activated and caught Durant off guard.

It turned out that Link was ambushed in the bottom corner not to shoot three-pointers, nor to let others deal with the offense, but wanted to cut into the basket with empty hands.

As a result, Link's actions were spotted by Jokic, and this wonderful legend was born!

The whole audience was filled with awesomeness. This ball was very similar to Yao Ming's pass from behind the head, but it was even more difficult!

Yao Ming's ball was after receiving the basketball and saw his teammate cutting from the other side before passing the ball out.

But Jokic passed the ball again the moment he received the ball. Moreover, he didn't look at Link throughout the whole process!

After Jokic was amazed behind his head, Link, who cut along the baseline, used a pull-in layup to avoid Durant's pursuit and successfully advanced the ball.

The score was equalized again, and the connection between Jokic and Link shocked the whole world again!

"How did this guy do it? This doesn't make sense at all! Nikola Jokic is so amazing. How did he judge Link's position just now??"

Mike Brin was puzzled. In front of Jokic, Divac, Brad Miller, and even his teammate Gasol Jr., all seemed to be eclipsed!

The fat Jokic began to return to defense, but he was still the player who seemed to be powerless.

But now, he has become the number one dangerous person on the field.

After one defense, the Grizzlies were as tough as ever. Klay Thompson made a fake shot and tricked Wade into the basket, but Jokic appeared in time and completed the block with his bounce as high as a tofu cube.

It turns out that as long as you choose the timing and position, you can complete the block even if you jump too high.

This time, Durant immediately blocked Link, and Clay immediately rushed back to Wade.

The Warriors' strategy is very clear, which is to cut off the passing route and prevent the Grizzlies from making an easy counterattack.

But after doing this, the Warriors' overall retreat was not fast enough.
