At the Federal Express Arena, fans are waving the huge flag of the Grizzlies. In the past, fans were so enthusiastic in Vancouver. But in the team's losses year after year, their enthusiasm gradually faded.

Later, the Grizzlies came to Memphis. However, cities like Memphis are very different from Vancouver. Here, people are more concerned about their livelihoods. Basketball? Just pay attention to it occasionally.

But now, when the team is about to reach the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year, the enthusiasm of Memphis fans has been completely ignited.

At this time, the total score of the series has become 3-2. After the Grizzlies won two consecutive home games, they went to the Att Center and were then scored back by the Spurs.

But this still did not affect the Grizzlies' determination to advance. They must conquer the Spurs at this home court!

After all, the Grizzlies have not lost at home until now in the series!

Link got basketball outside the three-point line, and Leonard's defense is no longer so difficult for Link. This is not that Leonard has become weaker, but that Link has become used to Leonard's defensive intensity.

Link looked up and saw that behind Leonard, Burris Dior was ready to help defend himself. The Spurs' defense was always one after another, but if you observe carefully, you can find the rules.

Link then used the trick, called Gasol Jr. to cover it, and then broke through the basket!

With the "enthusiastic care" of two forwards, Link walked to a deep position under the basket, striving to open up more space for Landov.

When should you pass the ball? This is actually a knowledge of the game. It is too early to pass it. The purpose of attracting defense cannot be achieved. But when you walk to the basket before passing the ball, it is too difficult to pass the ball.

However, for Link, it is not too difficult to find teammates in the cracks.

After taking off, Link pretended to make a layup, but he used his waist and abdomen to buckle up in the air and passed the ball out of Dior's armpit.

At this time, Randolph, who was standing in the middle distance, was completely empty. Link had completely achieved the purpose of attracting defense, and his pass was still fatal!

Randolph did not disappoint Link's wonderful pass. Since scoring 22 points and 16 rebounds in the fourth game of the series, Randolph's form has improved a bit. This time, Randolph's mid-range shot is still steadily!

"Oh!" Popovich waved his fist helplessly. This was really impossible.

Dior doesn't help defend, Link wants to score. Dior helps defend, Link can help others score goals.

Link, Link... In this whole series, Link is a nightmare for the Spurs.

Randolph's shot made him hit the 18th point of the game, and at the same time, it also left the Spurs behind at 10 points with three minutes to the end of the game!

"The efficiency is too low. Under the Grizzlies' strong defense, most of the Spurs' offensive efficiency is very low today! Leonard, who scored 5 of 7 shots in the last game, scored 14 points, has only made 1 of 4 shots. Duncan is not very efficient today, with a shooting percentage of only 42.4%. Parker made 6 of 12 shots and sent 4 assists, but he made 5 mistakes! There are rumors that Stephen Jackson is already very dissatisfied with Parker's condition and style of play. This may be the first time that the Spurs have had internal strife in history."

Hubby Brown finally summarized the Spurs' status today in one sentence, "It's like a mountain of defeat!"

The Spurs actually performed very well this year in the playoffs. In the first game, Leonard made 100% three-point shooting percentage, and in the second game, Duncan and Parker scored 20 points and returned to their peak. In the third game, Dior made 7 of 9 shots and scored all-around data. In the fifth game, the Spurs also played their overall performance.

But this is the playoffs, and it is not who plays worse, but who plays better.

The Spurs' performance is excellent, but the Grizzlies' performance is even better!

Link played six games, and no game was lower than 20+5+5. In the third game of the series, he even scored the first triple-double in the Grizzlies' history. Except for the slightly lower hit rate in the first game, Link basically had no black spots in the entire series.

His excellence made the Spurs completely buried.

In the last three minutes, the shouts of Grizzlies fans became even more radical. It was not easy to reach the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.

Chris Paul's dream for so many years is to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals. The Rockets, who won 22 consecutive games, were far from the Western Conference Finals. Now, the Grizzlies are only 3 minutes away from the battlefield at the top of the West for the second consecutive year!

"The Memphis Grizzlies have risen, and they have proved that the success of last season was not just a flash in the pan! The Grizzlies' ability to defeat the Spurs in the playoffs for two consecutive years can be seen! I know that in many people's impression, the Grizzlies are still a poor team. But the Memphis players will let this impression disappear with time!"

Hubby Brown certainly knew that the game was not over, but he still celebrated the victory in advance without hesitation.

The Grizzlies are like hungry beasts. Once they get their prey, they will not let it go easily! The San Antonio Spurs are the prey in the mouths of the Grizzlies players at this time!

"The Grizzlies without Guy may sink in."

"With Randolph's decline in form and Guy's reimbursement of the season, the Grizzlies can't go too far."

"No Mayo, Guy and Randolph, use Link to be the scorer? Haha, the Grizzlies have the most round of games this year!"

"Using a undraft as the core? The Grizzlies are hopeless!"

"He is a good player, but he hasn't reached the point where he can lead the team alone."

"Bang!" Link broke through and dunked with one hand, and a loud bang from the basket. This sound broke the Spurs' last hope, and at the same time, it also broke the doubts that had been entangled in Link's ear for the whole season!

Now, I have led the team to the Western Conference Finals, what else do you have to say!

After scoring the goal, Link raised his arms high and looked at the stands. What greeted him was the worship of thousands of fans. 23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, and Link scored another 20+5+5 to end the game!

For him, this is undoubtedly a season that has established the team's status! Last season, Link was just a surprise soldier, and was just the left and right hands around Zach.

But this year, he proved that the team is centered on himself and is still one of the best teams in the West!

After 20 seconds, the game ended. Confetti fell from the sky, and the entire Federal Express Arena became shaking.

Duncan walked up to Link and hugged him. But instead of saying "The future is yours", he said, "You are great, you deserve this victory than anyone else. Take this honor and go to the finals."

Link is naturally very happy to be recognized by his opponents, especially those of players like Duncan.

But Link also knew very well that this might not be the last time the Spurs caused trouble for the Grizzlies.

"Next season, your number 2 will become very strong." Link patted Duncan on the back and muttered in his ear.

"Haha, you're right, maybe who will say goodbye to whom next season."

Link shook his head, sure enough, this is Duncan's style.

"but"

Link originally wanted to separate from Duncan, but found that Duncan's arm was still holding him tightly and said, "But."

"But you are really amazing. Keep cheering, you will become the top star in the league. I believe that the future is yours."

Five years ago, after the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4-0 in the NBA Finals, Duncan hugged LeBron James, who was leading to the league's first man throne, and said a famous saying to James: "The future is yours."

Today, five years later, Duncan, who is almost 40 years old, hugged a top small forward in the league in the playoffs again, which makes people think a lot.
