Link, I'm looking forward to meeting you in the Western Conference Finals."

Link sat on the bed in the hotel, looking at the text messages on his phone, feeling a little uneasy.

The text message was sent with an unfamiliar number. Perhaps it was to make it easier for Link to identify himself, the sender also noted a sentence after the content.

"From Dirk, your good friend Nowitzki."

What's this? The weasel greets the chickens with New Year's greetings Nowitzki actually sent a text message to himself. What you really mean is to let us defeat the Spurs quickly and don't delay your time in the finals.

Also, how did these guys get their phone numbers? Well, they must have gotten it from where the managers are. The longer they get along with Jeff Austin, the more Link feels that managers are like human traffickers. What they are thinking about all day is how to "kill" a young man to the NBA and bring him to his own leadership. For managers, the news about the players is basically completely transparent.

Recently, Link discovered that Jeff Austin was observing a thin bamboo pole in the Greek league and searching for information every day. Well, it was only two years before another monster entered the league.

Wait, no, that guy Nowitzki has no manager at all! All the negotiations with the Mavericks were completed by himself. To be precise, there was no negotiation between him and the Mavericks.

Kuban and Nowitzki may be the only pair of team bosses and stars in the league who fully trust each other. Kuban gives Nowitzki a sufficiently sincere contract every year, so Nowitzki has never hired a manager in his career.

It seems that how Nowitzki got the Link number is going to become an unsolved mystery.

But then I thought about it, it would be very interesting to play in the Western Conference Finals with the Mavericks. The whole world thought that the Lakers and the Spurs met at the top of the West, but the Mavericks were the first to break people's expectations. Tonight, the Spurs are likely to end this season.

When the Grizzlies and Mavericks, two "unclassed" teams, officially started in the Western Conference Finals, Link really didn't know what the outside world would react.

The Thunder and Spurs, the Grizzlies eliminated two popular teams in the Western Conference Finals this season. It is enough for the villain to do this.

"Dike? Are you serious? No team in the league is looking forward to meeting us." Link replied to a text message, wanting to see what Dike responded.

"Okay, to be honest, I just want you to kill that No. 21 quickly. To be honest, I don't want to meet him in the playoffs anymore, hahahahaha."

Soon, Dirk replied to the message. Link looked at the reply and was speechless. Sure enough, another black-hearted guy.

"Don't worry, we'll have to eat the 21st. Maybe we can eat the 41st one."

"No, it's impossible. You've gone far enough, man, it's time to take a break."

Nowitzki smiled, but he didn't expect Link to be such an interesting person. But to be honest, Nowitzki is really not afraid of the Grizzlies. He just swept the defending champion 4-0, which made Dirk and the Mavericks full of confidence.

He predicted that the ending of the series against the Grizzlies should be between 4-0 and 4-1. That's right, Dirk believes that the Mavericks will only lose one game at most.

The Grizzlies' lineup restrains the Spurs, but in Dirk's view, the Mavericks' lineup also restrains the Grizzlies.

Dirk is confident when playing against Randolph. He believes that he can do better than the No. 21. As for the Mavericks center, Tyson Chandler is not as weak as the Spurs' No. 5 position.

Just a few days ago, the league announced that Dwight Howard became the winner of the best defensive player of the year. However, in the selection of best defensive player, Tyson Chandler ranked third.

In the inside defense, the Mavericks will not lose to the Grizzlies! When the inside is holding up the black and white bears, Nowitzki believes that their outside scoring group can also defeat the Grizzlies' outside defense chain.

Kidd, Terry, Marion, Peja and Baria are all killers.

As long as you play well and sweep for the second consecutive round, it seems that it is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Nowitzki smiled happily and returned a text message, "You are excellent enough, but let us leave the next one."

Randolph was sleeping soundly, and he was still recalling last night's ecstasy night, he played the Halo game for three consecutive games and won the first place in the kill list.

Lan Pang slept until noon before opening his eyes in a daze. When he got up, he found that Link, who lived with him, was gone.

Randolph searched all the toilets, bathrooms, dining rooms and other people's rooms, but there was no one there.

Finally, Randolph found Link in the basketball hall in the hotel gym. Sure enough, the guy was "abuse himself" again.

"Hey, didn't you just lose the game yesterday? Is it necessary to vent like this? You just kill three consecutive games at the bottom."

"Damn!" Link, who was shooting, really wanted to pick up the basketball and hit the fat man in the face. He would pick up the pot without any pot!

If he hadn't been able to beat Randolph, he would have done this long ago.

"What? Can't wait to play the game? Keep some strength. Tonight at the Att Center, you have some balls." Randolph walked to Link in a pair of Nike slippers, picked up the basketball and shot one casually.

Seeing Randolph's sloppy look, Link couldn't believe that he beat Duncan to beat this fat man in this round of the series. It's really not easy.

"I just want to stay in shape, afraid that my hands will be cold tonight. I do want to play the game, but it's not the game tonight."

"Oh? Could it be that you have a game tomorrow night?"

"No, I want to play in the Western Conference Finals, Zach. I really want to let one person see how we got here."

After hearing Link said this, Randolph's expression became serious, "Then, I'm afraid we will have to end the Western Conference semi-finals tonight."

Randolph and Link touched their arms gently. The Spurs were tired, so send them home.

Tonight, the Att Center was filled with sad atmosphere. Before the game started, the three of them stood on the court with dull eyes, as if their future was confused.

They are all experienced players, they have won countless games. Similarly, GDP has failed countless times. They are very clear about which games can win and which games will lose. And today's game is too small for them to win.

After the opening, the Spurs showed exhaustion. After nearly 5 minutes of playing, the Spurs made their first shot. At this time, the Grizzlies started with a 14-2 wave.

The Spurs not only missed the shots, but also made mistakes. After half of the first quarter, the Spurs had made 6 mistakes. Popovich did not roar, but just kept shaking his head.

On the court, the Spurs were like a team that entered the playoffs for the first time, in a hurry. Seeing the Spurs' state, Steve Cole could only announce helplessly, "Although the first quarter was only halfway through, what I want to say is that the Western Conference semi-finals have basically ended!"

In the subsequent games, people were drowsy. Because there was no suspense, the Spurs were completely beaten and they had no desire to fight back. Randolph scored in a fancy way under the basket, who would have thought that this fat man was still shooting in slippers at noon.

In the end, Randolph scored 31 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Grizzlies 95-81, ending the Western Conference semi-finals.

4-1, the Spurs only won one game, which was a bit of a face-saving. But for them who were heading for the championship, being eliminated 4-1 in the second round was already shameful.

"It's over. If this game was played at the Federal Express Arena, the scene might be quite lively. But unfortunately, this is the Att Center, which makes the Grizzlies' victory seem less jubilant. We saw many Spurs fans rosy with their eyes. Maybe it's time to say goodbye to the Spurs' glory."

Cole's commentary is a bit pessimistic because he thinks this is almost the last chance for the GDP group to win the championship. In the future, the Spurs will get older and their condition will decline more severely.

But Link knew very well that the Spurs would not only not be lonely, but would become stronger. Even Duncan even made a comeback performance. To say that the Spurs really began to decline, it might take six or seven years to wait.

But at least this season, the Grizzlies trampled the Spurs under their feet.

This time, the Grizzlies players weren't as excited as they won the first round. After all, they were used to winning in the playoffs.

Everyone first hugged the Spurs players very friendly. It is worth mentioning that Popovich also said a few words to Link.

"Keep in shape, kid, you will make a lot of money."

Link thanked Popovich in his heart, but he knew that if he met the Spurs again in the next few years, Popovich would not make him do a lot of money.

Oh, old man, it's very bad! Duncan's "The future is yours", probably learned from Popovich.

After the Spurs players left the court, the reporters surrounded him. Link was extremely active this time. He took the initiative to find a camera and pointed at the camera.

He still remembers Dirk’s “challenge” this morning!

"We are here, we are not tired yet, we can still leave!"
