: Three hundred and forty five: The future is yours

At the Federal Express Arena, fans are waving a huge Grizzlies flag. In the past, in Vancouver, fans used to be so enthusiastic. But in the team's losses year after year, the enthusiasm gradually faded.
Later, the Grizzlies came to Memphis. However, a city like Memphis is very different from Vancouver. Here, people care more about their livelihoods. basketball? Just pay attention occasionally.
But now, when the team is about to reach the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row, this is a knotty point. The enthusiasm of Memphis fans was completely ignited.
At this time, the series total score has become 3 to 2. After the Grizzlies won two consecutive victories at home, they went to the ATT Center and were pulled back by the Spurs.
But this still hasn't affected the Grizzlies' determination to advance, they are bound to be at this home court and defeat the Spurs!
After all, so far in the series, the Grizzlies have not lost at home!
Link got the basketball outside the three-point line, and Leonard's defense is now less difficult for Link. It's not that Leonard has become weaker, but Link has become accustomed to Leonard's defensive strength.
Link looked up. Behind Leonard, Boris Dior was ready to help defend himself. The Spurs' defense is always one link after the other, but if you observe carefully, you can also find patterns.
So Link made his plan, called Gasol to cover, and then broke through the basket!
Under the "enthusiastic care" of the two forwards Leonard and Dior, Link went to a deep position under the basket, striving to open up more space for Randolph.
When should the pass be passed, this is actually a matter of knowledge. Passed early. Can not achieve the purpose of attracting defense. You can wait until you reach the basket before passing the ball, which is too difficult.
But for Link, finding teammates in the seams is not too difficult.
After the jump, Link pretended to be layup, but in the air he used his waist and abdomen strength to hook up and pass the ball out of Dior's armpits.
At this time, Randolph, who was standing in the middle distance, was completely empty. Link has fully achieved the goal of attracting defense, and his passing is still deadly!
Randolph didn't live up to Link's pass. Since the fourth game of the series, he scored 22 points and 16 rebounds. Randolph's state has improved somewhat. This time, Randolph's CIC still made a steady hit!
"Hey!" Popovich reluctantly shook his fist, this is really impossible.
Don't help Dior, Link wants to score. Dior help defend, Link can help others to score.
Link, Link... This entire series, Link is a nightmare for the Spurs.
Randolph's shooting allowed him to score his 18th point in the game. At the same time, it also allowed the Spurs to fall behind by 10 points in the three minutes before the end of the game!
"The efficiency is too low. With the Grizzlies' strong defense, most of the Spurs' offensive efficiency today is very low! Leonard, who scored 14 points on 5 of 7 shots in the last game, has hit only 1 of 4 shots. Duncan is not very efficient today, shooting only 42.4%. Parker made 6 of 12 shots and sent 4 assists, but had 5 turnovers! There are rumors that Stephen Jackson is already very dissatisfied with Parker's state and style of play. It may be the first time that the Spurs have had infighting."
Hubby Brown summed up the state of the Spurs today in one sentence, "It's just a defeat!"
The Spurs performed very well in the playoffs this year. In the first game, Leonard made 100% three-pointers. In the second game, Duncan and Parker both scored 20 dreams. In the third game, Dior scored 7 of 9 shots and cut the all-around data. In the sixth game of the fifth game, the Spurs also played their integrity.
But this is the playoffs, and it's not who plays worse, but who plays better.
The Spurs' performance was outstanding, but the Grizzlies' performance was even better!
Link played six games, and no one had a score lower than 20+5+5. In the third game of the series, he even played the first playoff triple-double in the history of the Grizzlies. Except for the slightly lower shooting rate in the first game, Sylink basically has no black spots throughout the series.
His excellence has completely buried the Spurs.
In the last three minutes, the grizzlies fans shouted more radically. It is not an easy task to reach the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years.
Chris Paul has dreamed of touching the floor of the Western Conference Finals for so many years. The 22-game winning streak of the Rockets back then was far from the Western Conference Finals. And now, the Grizzlies are only 3 minutes away, and are about to stand on the top of the West on the battlefield for the second year in a row!
"The Memphis Grizzlies have risen. They proved that the success of last season was not just a flash in the pan! The ability of the Grizzlies to defeat the Spurs in the playoffs for two consecutive years is evident! I know that in the impression of many people, the Grizzlies It is still an incompetent team. But the players in Memphis will let this impression fade over time!"
Hubby Brown certainly knew that the game was not over, but he still did not shy away from celebrating the victory in advance.
The Grizzlies players are like hungry beasts. Once they get their prey, they won't let go! The San Antonio Spurs are the prey of the Grizzlies players at this time!
"A Grizzly bear without Guy might just sink."
"With Randolph's state declining and Gay's reimbursement for the season, the Grizzlies can't go too far."
"Without Mayo, Guy and Randolph, use Link as a scorer? Haha, the Grizzlies will have at most one round this year!"
"Use a losing pick as the core? The Grizzlies are really hopeless!"
"He is a good player, but he has not yet reached the point where he can lead the team alone."
"Bang!" Link broke through and dunked with one hand, and the basket made a loud noise. This sound broke the Spurs' last hope, and at the same time, broke the doubts that have been lingering in Link's ears for a whole season!
Now that I have led the team to the Western Conference Finals, what else can you say!
After the goal, Link raised his arms to the stands, and he was greeted by thousands of fans. With 23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, Link cut another 20+5+5 to end the game!
For him, this is undoubtedly a season to establish the status of the team! Last season, Link was just a surprise soldier, just a right hand by Zach.
But this year, he proved that the team takes himself as the core and is still one of the best teams in the West!
After 20 seconds ~EbookFREE.me~ the whole game is over. Confetti floated in the sky, and the entire Federal Express Arena became shaken.
Duncan walked up to Link and hugged him. But he did not say "The future is yours", but said, "You are great, you are more worthy of this victory than anyone. With this honor, go to the finals."
Link is naturally very happy to be recognized by his opponents, especially for players like Duncan.
But Link also knows that this may not be the last time the Spurs have caused trouble for the Grizzlies.
"Next season, your No. 2 will be very strong, right." Link patted Duncan on the back and whispered in his ear.
"Haha, you're right. I'm not sure 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 still hugged him tightly, and said "but."
"However, you are really good. Keep on working hard and you will become the top star of the league. I believe that the future is yours."
Five years ago, when the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4-0 in the NBA Finals, Duncan embraced LeBron James, who was approaching the first man in the league, and said to James a famous saying of the century: "The future is yours. "
Today, five years later, Duncan, who is almost 40 years old, once again embraced a top small forward in the league in the playoffs, which can't help but create a lot of associations.
As ESPN's famous reporter Adande wrote on Twitter after the game: "When Link looks into Duncan's eyes and talks to him like LeBron, it always makes people think about it. Maybe a few years later, We will usher in a new era. This time, the future may really belong to Link!"
