After Link made two free throws, Popovich immediately used the last timeout in his hand.

Meanwhile, Hollins rushed to the field, walked to the limping Link and asked about his condition.

"It's just a cramp, it's okay." Link waved his hand. He had always cared about his health problems, so he wouldn't joke about such things.

"Now, go to the locker room to check. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to hold on for the last 16 seconds." After Hollins said that, he called the team doctor to bring Link back to the player's channel.

"Yes, don't worry, we will use our lives to protect the last 16 seconds!" Jimmy Butler walked to Link and patted his chest.

At this time, Butler had great admiration and respect for Link. Butler saw all his actions on the court. Link fought for the 5-point advantage he got in the end and said that he could not lose anything!

Link nodded. Of course he trusted his coach and teammates. If even they were not trustworthy, who else could he trust?

"Come back quickly, I'll wait for you to celebrate the victory in the locker room." Link joked at everyone, then followed the team doctor into the player's passage.

Suddenly, all the cameras on the scene were aimed at Link, and he became the focus of the attention of the world today. It was because of him that he played until this moment.

"Link walked back to the player channel. He didn't know what happened to his breakthrough layup just now. Although he insisted on finishing two free throws, he still walked off the court. If the Grizzlies won today, he would be the well-deserved best in the game. Although he only scored 10 points, and although his score was even less than Split, there was no doubt that without him, there would be no key lead for the Grizzlies! I hope Link is not a big deal, because if he is injured, the NBA will lose a beautiful scenery."

Cole has been attracted by Link's strength today. At first, Cole just thought that boy was very powerful. But today, Link's fighting spirit really left a deep impression on Cole.

Since the second quarter, Link has been running and never stopped. He still wanted to break through and make a layup until the last moment.

This kind of perseverance is destined to grow into a great player!

There are many types of potential. Some players bounce well, some players are as fast as lightning. Some are tall and long arms, while others are as strong as bulls. But those with these talents may not be able to succeed.

But what about Link? That guy is hardworking and has extraordinary perseverance. This kind of talent is not something that everyone has.

In the last 16 seconds, the lost Spurs did not score any more goals. The Grizzlies successfully defended to the end, and they saved the victory fruits that Link fought for.

89 to 84, the Memphis Grizzlies successfully bit off the San Antonio Spurs in a difficult away game back-to-back battle! They broke the embarrassing record of not winning this season and also broke the curse of being unable to win in a row.

This is the first consecutive win streak of the Grizzlies since January 23!

"The game is over, and after a lot of hardships, the Grizzlies finally defeated their old opponent Spurs! This was a hard-won victory, and both sides scored not high, because both teams used meat grinder-like defense to curb each other! But in the end, the Grizzlies gritted their teeth and persevered until the end! Let us congratulate the Memphis Grizzlies, which is a great victory for them!" Although this is the home court of the Spurs, Cole still couldn't help but praise the Grizzlies.

There is no way, the Grizzlies' performance today is indeed respectable. Unfortunately, the guy who created this victory with one hand could not dance with his teammates on the court at this time.

Looking at the red light on the rebound, Popovich felt very helpless. Parker scored 21 points and 7 assists, Duncan blocked 5 blocks with 19 points and 13 rebounds! The team made 7 of 16 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%. From stars to individuals, the Spurs' data looked bad. But in the end, they were the losing side.

Link and Popovich believe that this is the only reason why the Spurs lost today.

After a while, many reporters came to Popovich. The old man looked up and obviously wanted to tell the reporters that I was in a bad mood today and don’t mess with me.

But a few of them were not afraid of death and brought the microphone to Popovich's mouth and asked some questions that would obviously make Popovich even more angry.

"Pop, the Spurs performed very well in this game, but they still lost the ball. What do you think?"

"I? Let's stand on the sidelines to watch."

reporter:""

"How do you evaluate Tim Duncan's performance? Did his 5 blocks exceed your expectations?"

"I don't think anything happened to that guy, for example, was a stupid thing like being ignored when he went to the Grizzlies to warm up for halftime."

"Puff!" The reporters almost couldn't help laughing. The old man Popovich's mouth-hiding skills were absolutely first-class.

"So, how do you comment on Link's performance today? He scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks. This is his third triple-double this season! Although he didn't score much, he caused huge trouble for the Spurs on the defensive end today. People say that it was Link who caused the Spurs' defeat today. What do you think?"

When the reporter asked this question, Popovich's expression became much more serious. Just as people were about to hear how Popovich would tease Link, the old man became serious.

"Link, don't mention this name, I have a headache when I mention him. I must admit that he messed up my offensive arrangement. Without him, our offense would have gone very smoothly. I have never seen a player like him, running from corner to corner, from half to half. Never stop, tireless, and at all costs! He is a terrible opponent, and he deserves this victory."

After saying that, Popovich turned around and left, and walked back to the player's passage.

The reporters were all stunned. Popovich rarely praised his opponent so bluntly! Unless he was so powerful that Popovich, who had seen countless people, admired him so much that he was full of admiration.

It seems that Link not only impressed the fans, reporters and commentators. Even Popovich was impressed by him.

Popovich was walking in the player channel, still recalling today's game in his mind. When he was interviewed by a reporter, Popovich actually had one sentence that he didn't say.

"How to evaluate Link? He once made me feel scared. Every time I see his eyes, see him guarding in front of the ball holder, and see him twitching in his claws, I feel a hint of chill spreading from my back. I will feel that the boy may really be able to eat us."

Popovich still remembers that feeling deeply until now. However, this will be a little secret that he will never reveal.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies players happily rushed into the locker room, ready to celebrate this hard-won victory with Link.

But after entering the locker room, everyone found that there was no one. Finally, everyone found Link in the physiotherapy room.

But after finding Link, there was no Grizzlies player playing. Randolph, the "King of Kids", even took the initiative to signal everyone to go out quietly to change clothes.
