984: True Warrior
After Link completed a steal and dunk, the Warriors were already 3 points behind the Grizzlies.
At the beginning, everyone of the Warriors was looking forward to a hearty victory. But unexpectedly, the situation became so tense now.
Cole clenched his fists and sat on the bench, and he had long since lost the momentum he had when he said "we will win the entire series" in the morning.
Harrison Barnes did not dare to act rashly anymore. In just one round, he was completely conquered by Link.
Now Barnes is not a question of whether he can beat Link or not, but a question of whether he dares to fight Link.
Link's appearance made this already surprising game even more difficult to understand.
At the same time, the balance of victory was completely tilted.
After Link made a throat-cutting action at Green, Green was so angry that he was embarrassed.
Originally, Green was a little complacent about killing Link with one elbow.
But now, when Link stood up again and provoked him, Green's sense of honor was instantly wiped out.
Green is very angry now, and he can't beat Link down with one more elbow.
But Green knew very well that he had no chance of that. The last time he did this, it had attracted the attention of the league. If he did it again and was suspended, it would be inevitable.
And, the punishment will definitely not be too light.
Although Green really wants to kill Link, he doesn't want to pay the price of banning it. If the Warriors really win the championship, he wants to participate in every step of the championship.
Besides, without Green, it is unknown whether the Warriors can win. Although Green is a bit conceited, he is indeed an indispensable member of the Warriors.
Now, Green can only endure it. Only when he reaches the defensive end can he let Link restrain himself a little.
This time, the Warriors missed another opportunity. Link's appearance made the Grizzlies players' morale boost. On the defensive end, every Grizzlies player seemed like a beast that was desperate.
The Warriors suffered a violent collision, which even made their off-ball run less smoothly than before.
Curry ended up being able to withstand Delavidova's rough and aggressive defensive shooting, but even for Curry, the difficulty of this kind of shooting was too great.
Delavidova has nothing else, but in terms of motivation, he is definitely no worse than anyone on the Grizzlies.
The basketball hit the basket's neck, and the Warriors' offense failed again!
Draymond Green hurried into the inside, trying to take offensive rebounds from Harris' head.
But before Green rushed into the inside, Link was already in the position and stuck a favorable battle position!
"Bang!"
It was another fierce collision, and the intensity of the Western Conference Finals was absolutely not mild.
Link gritted his teeth. His current physical condition made him very distressed to even get a rebound.
Moon is right, it is not easy. It is much harder to play with injuries than people think.
Yao Ming in the Western Conference semi-finals in 2009, Kobe, who won the championship with two broken fingers, was defeated by back injuries but still shocked Phoenix City... God knows how these people who appeared with injuries persisted.
But at least they have proved that as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, there is nothing you can't get over.
They interpreted what a real warrior is. Since there were those who could do it before, why can't it be done now?
Link forgot the pain again, he held Green strongly, then jumped up and protected the rebound firmly.
Green began to return to defense unwillingly, and at this time, Link had already passed by him with the ball.
"Concentrate and retreat quickly!" Cole had already started to hoarsely, and he could not accept that the gap was further widened.
He knows better than anyone else how serious the consequences will be if he loses this game.
However, Link's speed of pushing back was not something Cole could stop it by shouting.
The Grizzlies No. 0, wearing black protective gear in the jersey, quickly crossed the crowd. Midway through, Klay Thompson wanted to force Link to slow down, but Link was cleaned by a change of direction that almost did not slow down.
Link was like a wild horse running on the grassland, and behind him was a group of lions chasing.
Almost everyone on the Warriors gathered towards Link, and they were trying their best to stop this guy who shouldn't have appeared here.
So much so that the other four Grizzlies were completely emptied.
While advancing quickly, Link suddenly reached the ball to the right, but the next second, the basketball was passed to the left side opposite to Link's sight.
Another person who didn't watch the pass, the Warriors' defense was played with by Link.
Carter, who had just made the final shot from the left corner in the last game, received the basketball at that position again. Link's pass was very comfortable. He knew that Carter was the most confident in the left corner, so he immediately gave the ball over.
After receiving the basketball, Carter didn't need to adjust at all, and just shot!
So, the Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena recalled the nightmare I just experienced the night before.
Carter's left corner shot went straight into the net, and three-pointers entered the net!
The Grizzlies' counterattack was simply unstoppable, and Link's assist gave the Grizzlies a 6-point lead!
"It's 6 points, Steve Cole's timeout has not had any effect. In front of Link, all his plans seem to be ruined. Link staged a drama about returning heroes. Although clichéd, every time it makes people excited!"
Link looked up at the big screen on the scene, and it was only a little while before the end of the first quarter. He would strive to let the Grizzlies take a double-digit lead before the end of the first quarter!
"What a fucking bastard!" Green was very unwilling to accept that his team was so pressed by a broken guy that he couldn't raise his head.
This time, Green set up a cover for Curry. But when the cover was finished, Curry did not shoot, but quickly hit the ball to Green who was cutting in.
Harris hurriedly chased after him, but Green shook his hand and separated Harris behind him.
At this time, Green only had a basket in his eyes. He just wanted to score, no one could stop him!
At the same time, Link started from the bottom corner and rushed into the penalty area. Everyone held their breath, and everyone knew that this would be a collision like Mars hitting the earth!
Green saw Link rushing towards him from the side, but he didn't intend to slow down.
If both sides really collided in the air, both of them would definitely be overturned.
Green knew Link could catch up with him, but he didn't believe Link really dared to do this!
Anyone will be scared, and Link is no exception!
Green jumped with one foot, grabbed the basketball with his right hand and flew towards the basket.
Link, who came from the bottom corner, did not give in. He raised his long arms in the air and aimed at the basketball in Green's hand.
In terms of athletic ability, Green cannot be compared with Link. Therefore, Link quickly suppressed Green at altitude. He held down the basketball in Green's hand and exerted force suddenly!
Green was unwilling to give up easily, and he was still competing with Link in the air. Both of them had lost their center of gravity, but no one planned to give up.
In the end, Link's strength overwhelmed Green and pushed the basketball in his hand to the rebound.
After the blocking, the enemies both fell to the ground and fell on their backs.
"The referee didn't blow the whistle. He thought Link had hit the basketball first, and he thought it was a good move! Link taught Draymond Green a lesson. He didn't let that guy do whatever he wanted in the three-second zone!"
Delavidova grabbed the basketball without control and the Grizzlies fought back again!
What about Green and Link? Both seemed to have fallen heavily. After all, they did not protect each other in the air, nor did they save any effort.
Every collision between Link and Green is destined to be quite intense, and it is a real head-on aerial confrontation.
Green lay on the ground and quickly got up. He couldn't believe that Link had dared to rush up to stop him so desperately without healing his bones!
He knew that the opportunity he had just had was not good, and he was betting that Link didn't dare to do this.
But it turns out that he lost the bet.
Green always felt that he was the number one ruthless person in the league, but today, he saw a ruthless person!
A truly cruel person is not only merciless to the enemy, but also merciless to himself!
Where is Link? He kneeled on one knee, supported one hand on the ground, and covered his chest with the other.
The severe pain was burning him, making it impossible for him to get up as quickly as before.
But he finally survived, stood up again, and continued to fight!
Link ran through the half and just received a pass from Delavidova one step outside the three-point line.
Without hesitation, the Grizzly Bear pulled up No. 0 and threw it. He seemed as if he was fine, as if only Green had just fallen heavily.
Green's blockade was half a beat slower, but he knew that it was no longer redeemable.
"brush!"
The sound of the Nets rolling sounded, and Link raised his right arm of the shooting high and stood on the floor of the Oracle Arena.
The difference becomes 9 points, and only one round is needed to achieve his goal!
Just as he fell heavily, he immediately ran over to participate in the attack and threw the ball into...
Can Link be knocked down?
Chapter completed!
