Tim Duncan, a man who was once called a technical foul because of his smile. His smile can convey a lot of emotions, besides being friendly.

Looking at Duncan's smile, Link felt uncomfortable all over and even felt a chill on his back. Now he could understand why the referee had to punish Duncan who was smiling for a technical foul.

Because even if he is really smiling at you with kindness, you can't see it.

Too stingy!

I'm already facial paralysis, so I'll avoid these complicated expressions.

When I had no expression, I was very cool, but when I smiled, my image broke down.

"I seemed to scare him? Did I laugh badly?" Duncan scratched his head, swearing that he just wanted to say hello to Link.

"Come on, only we can bear your smile. Today is a tough battle, Tim. But thankfully, the Grizzlies have played 4 games in 5 days. I think we have a big chance of winning today." Parker started chatting with Duncan while shooting.

"It's okay for us, but for Kavay, that's the real tough battle. The old man asked him to defend Link alone today... between him and Link, he was destined to be driven crazy." Duncan glanced at No. 2, who was less than himself, not far away.

"So, who do you think is driven crazy?"

Duncan did not answer, and his expression gradually became serious.

Link has not scored 20 in two consecutive games. Many people outside are questioning Link and his ability to fight continuously.

But Duncan, who has played against the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, knows better than anyone else. Every time Link faces the Spurs, he always performs incredible.

I hope the young Leonard can succeed.

A few minutes later, the referee urged both starters to stand in the designated position and the game was about to begin.

Fans in the Federal Express Arena cheered. This season, the Grizzlies' attendance rate is full at home. Before acquiring the Grizzlies, many people told Pera, "The Grizzlies don't make money, don't get involved."

But now, Robert Pera has made a lot of money. The Grizzlies' unbeaten home game has attracted much attention every game held at the Federal Express Arena.

Espn made a special report earlier, selecting the five most difficult home games to be captured in the NBA this season. The Federal Express Arena was not divided into one place within these five home games.

"If you think it's hard enough to capture the above five home courts, then go to the Federal Express Arena to have a look. There will be something you can know about what hell is." This is the original words in the article.

So, even if it is facing the powerful Spurs, even if this is the fourth game the Grizzlies have played in 5 days. But as long as they fight in the Federal Express Arena, Grizzlies fans are full of confidence.

Popovich was ready for the game. Before the game started, he stood on the sidelines and watched his players. He always wanted to convey a message to the Spurs players, "I'm watching you, I'm all the harder!"

"The starting lineup of both sides has not changed. Both teams have set up the strongest lineups to face each other. However, the Grizzlies may have to pay attention to their physical fitness. You can't imagine what intensity this is at all." Before the game started, even Huby Brown was worried about the physical fitness of the Grizzlies.

It's so terrible to meet the Spurs at this critical moment. Although the Spurs' rhythm is not fast, their defense is very strong. Once the defensive intensity is increased, the physical energy consumption will be huge.

Link stood on the side of the middle circle, inside the circle were Gasol and Split who were preparing to compete for the ball. Opposite him was standing the silent man.

Kavay Leonard, it is not the first time Link fights him. Every time Link uses his own attack to make Leonard frown with his face, he feels very accomplished.

But Link could clearly feel that every time he fought with Leonard, that guy's strength would be improved a little bit compared to the last time. When the Grizzlies played against the Spurs at the beginning of this season, Link already felt that Leonard was very difficult to deal with.

This time, the difficulty will probably rise sharply.

The referee whistle sounded, and Gasol Jr. got the first attacking ball on the Brazilian center. Link just ran through half the game and found that he could not walk anymore.

Leonard actually adopted a close-fitting strategy against Link who was out of the ball!

"Sure enough, Popovich wanted to consume Link's physical fitness to the maximum extent." Elston Turner clenched his fist nervously on the bench. If Link was blocked today, the Grizzlies' offensive trouble would be great.

Link didn't expect Leonard to be so active, and he raised the intensity to the highest level as soon as he started. At the same time, Link also found that the rest of the Spurs were very strict in their defense against their opponents. It seems that the Spurs are going to implement strict one-on-one defense today, dividing the Grizzlies' offense into scattered pieces.

Link wanted to squirt trash to stimulate Leonard and distract him. But as soon as he saw his expressionless face, Link gave up the idea.

Today, any fancy thing doesn’t work, you can only win with hard power!

Link and Randolph played an unballed cover, but Leonard turned around flexibly and rushed out of the cover.

Link ran to the left horn position. As soon as he received the ball, he was hit hard by Leonard before he even had time to turn around the frame!

Posted again!

"Fuck!" Link was forced into a very embarrassing situation. He no longer remembered when the last time he was forced into such an embarrassing situation in the official game.

Because during training, Link often encounters defenses from Tony Allen, Iguodala and Jimmy Butler, most opponents' defenses are pediatrics for Link.

But Leonard's defense today...Link must admit that the intensity is even greater than a few of his teammates!

Link had no way to dribble, so he could only push with his back. Seeing this, the Grizzlies all players opened up, giving Link a room for singles behind him.

Popovich smiled, this is what he wants!

Link leaned back a little, but it felt like he was hitting a wall. Although Link didn't have to be too close to the basket for his back singles, now Link is standing in a step inside the three-point line. If you shoot directly at this position, it's still too difficult.

Without trash words, no ridicule or even any expression, Leonard immediately posted it again, unswervingly!

Link wanted to pass the ball, but the pass route was completely locked. The Spurs' tactical execution ability is unquestionable. Popovich asked them to keep an eye on others, and they would never cause trouble.

So, Link had to try to push it in again, but the effect was minimal. Leonard's strength increased significantly, and Link estimated that Kavayi and James were not afraid of fighting hard.

There was no way, and Link had to turn over and jump shot directly at the position of more than one step within the three-point line!

"A long-distance jump shot, Leonard immediately stretched out his long arm and sealed it. This ball is very difficult!" Hubby Brown shook his head. To be fair, this was indeed a bad, but helpless choice.

Duncan and Split immediately opened their arms, blocked the penalty area, and prepared to fight for rebounds.

After Link's turnover jump shot landed, he fell outside the three-point line. This shows how far he was from the basket. That kind of turnover jump shot at the distance, and when he encountered Leonard's powerful blockade, it was impossible to hit it!

The basketball crossed everyone's heads at an extremely high arc, becoming extremely dazzling under the light.

By the time Duncan saw the basketball clearly, the basketball was already hollowed out!

"I've entered! It's worthy of being Link, and this kind of ball cannot defeat him!" Hubby Brown stood up from the bench the moment the ball entered, and behind him were thousands of fans who cheered like him.

Only Link can create such a "tsunami" in the Federal Express Arena!

"Fuck, this can also get in." On the Spurs' bench, Popovich's assistant suggested last year that he used George Hill to exchange Leonard's assistant coach Mike Budenhozer shook his head.

With such a long-distance turnover and such a big interference, he can still make an attempt. That kid is worthy of being the striker who has been selected into the All-Star starting lineup for two consecutive years.

"Yes, Link is getting stronger and stronger. Now he can fight such a superstar. However," Popovich's face was not unhappy at all, but smiled, "But if he continues to fight like this, how many minutes can he last?"

On the court, Link did not celebrate the goal, and even frowned even deeper!

Although the goal in this strong confrontation is wonderful, it is the most physically consuming. Just one round, Link felt that he was already sweating.

There is not just one quarter for basketball, he can't keep playing this.

We must find a way to connect the entire team's offense, which is the best way to save physical fitness!

Link hadn't figured out what to do, but the Spurs' offense came first.

The defensive end was tough, and the Spurs were not soft on the offensive end. Parker and Duncan played a cover, and the Frenchman handed the ball to Duncan, who cut in the inside while the ball was moving.

After getting the basketball, Duncan slapped it and then leaned against Randolph and forced himself to attack the frame!

This season, like Randolph, Duncan has completely emerged from the trouble of injury. Faced with Randolph's blockade, Duncan's body not only did not tilt in the air, but instead scored the ball steadily, but also beat the referee's whistle.

Duncan got the chance to score a three-pointer!

"Pay attention to the action Zach, pay attention!" Stevens yelled anxiously in the field. He didn't want his starting number four to commit two fouls just after he came on the court.

Randolph curled his lips. Duncan is really a damn old monster. I think he could still have the upper hand when he and Duncan faced each other in the playoffs two years ago. But what about now? Duncan has made progress!

Have you ever seen a basketball player who is almost 40 years old but still has a state of improvement? Duncan is it!

Duncan touched Parker's head to show his gratitude. Duncan may be very funny when he was under the basketball court. But during the game, he could immediately transform into a cold "stone Buddha".

Link touched his dense hair, glad that he didn't go to the Spurs.

Although Grizzlies fans tried their best to interfere, Duncan still steadily made the free throw. He scored a three-pointer, and the Spurs were very active as soon as they got up!
