Since Link led the Grizzlies' defense in the second quarter, both sides have been entangled until the end.

During this period, the Spurs had only 5 points in their biggest lead, and they could no longer play a devastating attack like in the first quarter. Link only took a minute and a half of each quarter. His running figure became the most impressive shot today.

Popovich has been waiting, waiting for the last moment of the fourth quarter to arrive. Now, he has finally waited.

At this time, Tim Duncan was standing on the free throw line. Just now, the "big basic skills" caused Gasol Jr. to foul at the low post, winning two free throws.

Popovich stood on the sidelines, but his eyes were not at Duncan, but at Link. Link grabbed Duncan's free throw time and supported his knees with his hands, not missing any time for rest.

Popovich smiled proudly. Even if you are an Iron Man, you shouldn't be able to hold on now! After playing against the Celtics yesterday, Link was so tired that he sat directly on the ground. It can be seen that yesterday's game was not easy for him.

Under such circumstances, Link is still so defensive today, so it is impossible for him to stick to the end!

"Link is very tired. Do you want to replace him and take a rest?" People on the Grizzlies naturally discovered Link's condition. Grizzlies assistant coach Elston Turner reminded Hollins, while Hollins stared at the stadium nervously.

Of course he knew that Link was very tired, but he really didn't dare to play Link! Once Link plays, the Grizzlies' defensive quality will drop by one level.

The Spurs are indeed too strong. This kind of strength is different from the Thunder and Bulls.

When fighting the Thunder, as long as you stop Durant and Westbrook, you will basically win half of it. When fighting the Bulls, as long as you keep watching Rose, the Bulls' offense will basically be ruined.

But the Spurs are different. They are all soldiers. Everyone can pass the ball and everyone can shoot. If you don’t pay attention, the score difference will be widened. These old guys have interpreted "team basketball" to the extreme, and this kind of offense is actually quite gorgeous.

Yes, gorgeous. Few people associate the word plain Spurs with gorgeous. But Hollins believes that such a beautiful team attack is gorgeous.

Duncan made two free throws at the free throw line. Although this guy always likes to have some funny behavior from time to time, on the basketball court, "Stone Buddha" is absolutely reliable and will never be disconnected at critical moments.

"Both free throws, Tim Duncan is still stable. The Spurs lead by 3 points, only 3 minutes and 32 seconds before the end of the game. There is not much time left for the Grizzlies, and they must overtake the score as soon as possible." Cole was sweating profusely, not because the air conditioner at the Att Center was broken, but because the game was too nervous.

More than a week ago, the Spurs easily won the Grizzlies by 10 points. As a result, they are hard to match with the Grizzlies. Kerr feels a little incredible. What exactly is it that supports the Grizzlies to realize such great potential. The Grizzlies have become the beast of last season. They may not be able to win, but they will definitely make their opponents feel in pain!

Yes, Link is really tired, and the rest of the Grizzlies are also very tired. But looking at the Spurs players, are they relaxing?

Link is still defending diligently, and Leonard feels that the guy in front of him is too crazy. Not everyone can do it if he is willing to do defense to this level.

If it were Anthony, he would have to thank God for being able to hold on to this kind of defense for one minute.

This time, Leonard deliberately pulled Link to the right bottom corner, in order not to allow Link to help easily and not allow him to interfere with other people's attacks.

But Link was still observing the entire half. He rushed to wherever there was a need!

This time, the Spurs were very patient in conducting the ball. The basketball was handed by several people, and the Grizzlies' defense switch was also replaced for several rounds.

Link first made up for Ginobili, and then immediately rushed to the inside to double-team Duncan.

Finally, Leonard was empty again on the left bottom corner, and at this time, all the Spurs players unconsciously pulled to the right side, and no one could help Link make up for the defense!

"Damn it!" Link ran towards Leonard the moment Duncan started to pass the ball.

At this time, Link was almost overdrawn in physical fitness. He couldn't run anymore. He felt that his heart was running overloaded.

But Leonard stood there, and he had the opportunity to widen the score. If this ball was shot and the Spurs widened the gap to 6 points, everything would be in vain. The Grizzlies will most likely lose to the Spurs for the third time this season, and the damn curse of being unable to win will continue to bother the Grizzlies.

When he thought of this, Link urged himself, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Then, he tried hard to squeeze the last strength in his body and rushed towards Leonard, interfering with the "future warrior"'s shot.

Leonard had no expression throughout the game, and Link had never heard him say anything. But this time, when Link blocked it, he found that Leonard's brows were frowning.

Link was secretly happy that this guy's shooting must have been seriously disturbed!

"Leonard jumped from the bottom corner from the left! But Link blocked it! As always, he filled the vacancy with his own enthusiasm!" Cole stood up, but not to cheer for the goal, but to prepare for cheering and sprinting!

"How is this possible?" Popovich cursed inwardly. That guy must have been overdrawn!

"I think he has a strong heart, pop. He is stronger than you and me, and most players in this league." Budenhozer beside Popovich shook his head. Link was so scary today!

"Bang!"

Leonard's three-point jump shot that was seriously disturbed by Link hit the side of the basket, and Link successfully defended!

Before Leonard could react, he saw Link suddenly turn around and run back, and then grab the long rebound. So far, this is Link's 11th rebound today.

The guy was obviously so tired, but he was still so active. Leonard's brow frowned deeper, perhaps the most serious expression he had ever made on the basketball court.

After getting the ball, Link handed it to Conley. He could no longer run, so he would not participate in the quick attack. He retained his energy to deal with the Spurs' counterattack at the last moment.

Link has only scored 8 points today, but has scored 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. He has put all his energy on the defensive end. If he goes to waste his offense, Link will be down long ago.

This time, the Grizzlies failed to make a quick break, and Link received a pass from Conley from outside the three-point line. He looked at the situation on the field, so he leaned against Leonard with the ball, and he wanted to play Spurs No. 2 with his back!

"Is Link going to attack? He still has the strength to stay on the offensive end!?" Kerr was shocked. What kind of monster is this!

Link is certainly not a monster, he is just waiting for an opportunity.

Just as Link advanced to the middle distance, Rudy Guy suddenly started, shook off the Spurs short center Blair and cut along the bottom line.

Guy was pushed to the fourth position today and had a great time. Seeing Guy coming in, Link hit the ground with a pass with his back.

After holding the ball, Guy took three steps directly. Facing Duncan's blockade, he made a big loop at the basket and made a layup.

In his 9th assist, Link is still shining and hot on the offensive end in his own way.

"There are only more than 2 minutes left in the game. Can Link hold on??"

As soon as Cole finished his words, Link closed another rebound. This time, Ginobili missed the jump shot from the outside of the three-point line, Gasol Jr. stuck Duncan, and short center Blair who played for Split, stuck Guy.

But Link came from the side and snatched the rebound before Blair! Although Blair was in the fifth position, his height would be over 2 meters, so he had no advantage over Link.

With the 12th rebound, Link is still fighting!

The Grizzlies did not waste Link's efforts. This time, Conley received a return pass from Link to attract defense and made a steadily shot from outside the three-point line!

In an instant, the Spurs were 2 points behind the Grizzlies! Cole shouted on the commentary stage, "Double-double, Link won the third double-double data of the season today!"

When Cole looked at the data table, Link's score was still 8 points, and he scored a double-double with 12 rebounds and 10 assists!

It can be said that it is very distinctive.

Link is still continuing to contribute to the Grizzlies, and Popovich has long been looking forward to Link being exhausted. But Link is like a young strongman who can't beat him, and he hasn't died until the end!

Just when everyone thought Link would be immersed in this, he jumped out and felt a sense of existence.

This time, it was Duncan, who broke through and passed the ball and wanted to find the mid-range distance. Link, who shrank to the basket, reached out to destroy the pass the ball the moment the Argentinian passed the ball. The ball of the "Demon Sword" was equivalent to being sent directly to Link's arms!

Popovich's neck was red, and Ginobili's pass was like this, always wandering around the edge of the top ten and mistakes. But at this time the mistake was simply fatal.

12 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals, a weird 10+10+5 data was born!

"5 steals, this is Link's career high! Tonight, it is destined to be Link's milestone night!"

Link was still conscientious and even though he was so tired that his collar was soaked, he still did not forget to run.

In the second quarter, at the critical moment, Link set an example to help the Grizzlies stabilize the situation.

And now, as the game is about to be decided, Link is again standing up and sounding the horn for the counterattack for the Grizzlies.

In the next few minutes, the Grizzlies became more and more brave. Instead, the Spurs players began to pant because of the Grizzlies' tight defense, and their shooting stability also decreased.

In the last 38 seconds of the first quarter, the Grizzlies were already 3 points ahead of the Spurs. If they scored another goal, they could basically secure the victory.

This defense is related to the final result for the Spurs. Popovich then stood on the sidelines and kept shouting.

The Spurs' defense is also very tight, and basically everyone is stared at. Although the Spurs have transformed to move closer to offensive teams, this does not mean that they have completely abandoned the defense.

Conley was forced to give the ball to the second organization point Link. As soon as Link got the ball, the Spurs instantly implemented strict man-to-man defense, cut off the passing route, and forced you to play Leonard alone.

Link looked at the positions of his teammates, and then suddenly accelerated!

Everyone was stunned. This guy really beat me!?

Leonard attacked with a big hand and was about to steal Link's basketball! Just as his palm was about to poke the basketball away, Link leaned against Leonard and turned around.

Passed!

"What!?" Popovich widened his eyes. Can Link turn around at this time?

Actually, it really doesn't work. Link has reached his limit. The moment he turned around, his calf was sore.

But he still gritted his teeth and persevered, and broke into the penalty area. Under Duncan's blockade, he prepared to make a layup.

But before he jumped up, he had just had physical contact with Duncan, and Link suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf and fell out of the bottom line!

The referee whistle sounded, Duncan made a defensive foul, and Link had to make a free throw twice! If two free throws are made, the game will be ended!

The Grizzlies players ran over excitedly to think of LaLink getting up, but found Link sitting on the ground in pain.

"What's going on!" Conley squatted down to check, he was frightened.

"I just got cramps, damn it." Link smiled bitterly, fortunately he was not injured! But he felt so tired that he felt cramps were not good.

After resting for about 20 seconds and confirming that his legs were not damaged, Link stood up with his teammates' hands, then limped towards the free throw line.

All the San Antonios' eyes became desperate, and "Death" stood on the free throw line and was ready to kill the game!

Link insisted on standing on the court and holding the ball steadily. He knew that the responsibility was now all on his shoulders. But he was not afraid of taking responsibility, because being able to shoulder heavy responsibilities just means that you are capable enough.

What does the old saying come true? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Link endured a faint pain and a strong sense of fatigue and made two free throws at the free throw line!

10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, Link used his perseverance to fill the data sheet and grind the Spurs to death!

Popovich opened his mouth wide and it took him a long time to remember to close it.

What kind of monster is that damn number 0?
Chapter completed!
