In the east, the Cleveland Cavaliers played smoothly.

Due to Thomas Jr.'s absence, the Celtics had no room for fight back in front of the Cavaliers.

It can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that the Cavaliers have reached the finals for the third consecutive year.

Therefore, the world's eyes are now gathering in the West. The showdown between the Grizzlies and Warriors, the two teams with the best regular season record, is now at a deadlock.

May 20, Oracle Arena.

Warriors fans have been waiting here for a long time.

The Warriors have won a stunning 67 wins in the regular season this season, but they still cannot get a home advantage in the Western Conference Finals.

This is also the first time since the playoffs this year, the Warriors have to play two away games before returning to Oakland.

Of course, the Warriors' results made fans very happy. It is excellent enough to get a 1-1 score at the Federal Express Arena.

After all, before that, no team could defeat the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

Now, Warriors fans are looking forward to their team expanding their advantage at home.

Before the game started, espn reporters interviewed many fans waiting to line up to enter the field in the outer square of the Oracle Arena.

All Warriors fans were very enthusiastic, wearing yellow T-shirts, like a ball of flames.

"Draymond is right, the Grizzlies will never think about the Western Conference Finals!"

"Fuck the Grizzlies, they don't want to take a victory away from here!"

"It's just a defeated man. I believe Kevin and Stephen can solve the Grizzlies."

All the Warriors fans who were interviewed yelled at the camera bluntly.

The city of Auckland is really hostile to the grizzly bears.

Link and his teammates took the team bus from the hotel to Oracle Arena, and there were a huge number of fans gathered on both sides of the street.

Of course, they were not here to cheer for the Grizzlies, but to show their "exquisite" signs.

If the war between the Celtics and the Lakers was like a war, then now, this kind of old enemy relationship has also emerged between the Grizzlies and the Warriors.

Link was already a little numb to such a scene. He didn't care about the fans outside the window, but turned his head to look at the young people in the back row.

What made Link happy was that this time, they did not continue to hang their heads in fear.

It seems that the video from last night and the three championship rings still played some role.

The bus finally arrived at the Oracle Arena safely. As soon as the players got off the bus, the flashes immediately formed.

Link was the last one to get out of the car in a dark blue suit of the Grizzlies' main color. Suddenly, at least dozens of photographers were carrying machines and moving around Link.

Link himself thought it was too exaggerated. He was the only person in the team who had such treatment.

Just after entering the venue, I was followed by 360° without blind spots.

After entering the locker room, no one spoke much, but quickly changed their equipment.

The atmosphere of the war was very strong, and the entire locker room was instantly surrounded by invisible pressure.

Link put on his signature shoes in a brand new color scheme and touched the words engraved on the edge of the sole.

This has become a classic design of Link's sneakers, and has been preserved from the first generation to this day. Of course, it is also the source of strength of Link.

"This is not a difficult thing, right? Zick."

After talking to himself softly, Link stood up and jumped around twice.

At this time, Jogel began to arrange today's tactics. It was more like a review than a layout.

Because in terms of tactics, the Grizzlies have nothing new today.

To be honest, the duel of the Warriors and the Grizzlies is no longer something that the coach can control the victory.

This is a game that really belongs to the players.

After Jogel finished speaking, everyone in the locker room unconsciously turned their eyes to Link.

Everyone has a tacit understanding and feels that Link will say something.

Link walked to the middle of the locker room, looked back at his locker, and remembered the incident when he punched the wooden door of the locker at this time last year.

This year, he doesn't want to destroy public property anymore.

"There's nothing to say, just remember one thing. Don't worry too much, because there are a bunch of fools like you on the court."

After Link finished speaking, he glanced at the four young men, all of whom showed their white teeth.

Link nodded, the time for reciprocity was coming!

"Welcome to Oakland, California, here is the Oracle Arena. We will be here to witness the great Western Conference Finals in history!"

The dazzling headlights in the stadium still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the fans. The commentator's voice made countless people sit in front of the TV and concentrate.

The players on both sides were warming up, and their expressions were very serious.

Although the game has not started yet, even the novice fans can predict that this will definitely be a tense battle!

"1-1, this is actually the result we expected. The series between the Grizzlies and the Warriors will never end hastily. I wouldn't be surprised that they even reached Game 7. In the last game, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Grizzlies by 2 points. Where do you think the Warriors won? Do they have anything to keep today?" Mike Brin appeared at the Western Conference Finals for the third time in a row.

Today, his partner was replaced by former Warriors coach Mark Jackson.

"The reason why the Warriors can win is the excellent performance of Curry and Durant. Of course, the secondary reason is that the young Grizzlies did not seize the opportunity at the most critical moment of the game. If both Jokic and Harrell can shoot both the balls, the results may be very different."

Mark Jackson hit the nail on the head and did not mean to protect Jokic and Harrell.

"So, what do you think they will behave today? Will those young people be crushed by pressure?"

Facing this problem, Mark Jackson hesitated for a while.

Under normal circumstances, young players will definitely not be able to perform well in the Western Conference Finals with such high intensity.

But considering that the Grizzlies' leader is Link...

"No," Mark Jackson shook his head, "Today, they will surely make people shine."

The atmosphere of the game has reached the critical point of breaking out. When the starters of both sides are standing together to prepare for the ball, Mike Bryn felt as if a pile of explosives were gathered on the court.

As long as the referee gives the order, the entire arena will be blown away!

"Are you ready?" The referee looked at Gasol and Pachuria.

After receiving the response from the two nodded, the referee threw the ball into the air with force!

This time, Gasol won the basketball. The ball was directly transferred to Link's hand. He immediately accelerated when he received the ball, and did not slowly grind the position with the Warriors.

Durant hurried forward to defend himself, but just as the two sides were about to collide, Link quickly changed direction!

"Hmph, I expected it!" Durant knew that Link was not the type who liked to rush around, so he left one trick just to prevent Link from changing direction.

As a result, Durant was about to move over and continue to block Link, but he felt like he hit a wall.

"Bang!"

Durant was directly bounced to the ground. He looked up and found out that Jokic had set up cover for Link early!

Jokic looked at Durant on the ground with a fierce look.

In the last game, Durant scored a lot of goals on Jokic's head. At that time, all he saw in Jokic's eyes was frustration.

But today Jokic's eyes made Durant feel scared.

The soft-looking pork belly seemed to be really angry.

After Link got rid of Durant, he stopped and jumped at the top of the arc outside the three-point line!

Without any interference, Link's jump shot was not unexpected.

As soon as he came up, he responded to the Warriors with a hollow three-pointer!

"Good job, Nikola!" After Link scored, he high-high with Jokic, who set up a strong cover for himself.

Jokic did not smile silly anymore, but quickly retreated and stared at the front seriously.

Mark Jackson on the commentary stage rubbed his hands excitedly. Sure enough, Link's team was even harder than the hardest stone in the world.
Chapter completed!
