: Four hundred and sixty-two: the enthronement ceremony of the King of Tennessee

The San Antonio Spurs have maintained a strong competitiveness in the league for more than ten consecutive years. But with the Spurs, people have witnessed too many moments called "miracles" of their opponents.
The 03-04 season playoffs, the Lakers and the Spurs battle of Tianwangshan. At the last moment, Duncan faced O'Neal's defense and scored the overtake ball, and the Spurs led 73 to 72.
With 0.4 seconds left in the game, it seems that the Spurs' victory is a certainty. However, the still young Lakers point guard Derek Fisher shot from the free throw line, turned and shot the ball, and made a buzzer lore. All Spurs players and the home audience, including some Lakers players, were a little dazed.
0.4 seconds is enough for a lore shot, 0.4 seconds is also enough to turn heaven into hell. At this moment, the Lakers were made, and the Spurs were sad.
On December 29, 2004, this was a day that many fans and players were destined to unforgettable. That day, countless Houston fans turned off the TV in advance, because the Rockets were too far behind the Spurs in that game, and the game almost entered garbage time.
As a result, at the end of the game, Yao Ming and McGrady scored 15 points and reversed the game. Well, 13 of them came from the last 35 seconds, from Tracy McGrady.
On February 10, 2007, the Magic faced the Spurs at home. The former super centers Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan were close to each other.
0.8 seconds before the end, the Spurs tied with the Magic. On the final attack, the 21-year-old Howard threw off Duncan from the left to chase, went straight to the basket, caught the ball in the air and hit the basket directly, 106 to 104. With this 0.8-second air-receiving lore, the Magic won the final victory. Once again, the San Antonio Spurs witnessed the miracle of others.
Today is January 11, 2013. The San Antonio Spurs played away against the Memphis Grizzlies. In the last 12 seconds, the Spurs still led by 2 points. And most importantly, the head of the Grizzlies forward was blocked in the last offense and caused calf cramps due to extreme fatigue.
It seems that the Spurs are close to victory. They only need to guard against the opponent's three-pointers to guarantee victory. Even, they can put each other to play a 2 point. Because if the game is dragged into overtime, the probability of victory still belongs to the Spurs.
In the case of calf cramps of the player with the highest percentage of the opponent's three-pointers, prevent the opponent from a three-pointer.
Well, it sounds pretty simple.
But the San Antonio Spurs are often forced to witness what is called a "miracle" moment.
Stevens looked at Link, then took the marker and wrote and drew on the tactical board.
Link did not sit on the bench, but stood next to Stevens, moving his cramped right leg.
Tim Duncan walked straight up to the Grizzlies bench and got into the Grizzlies players like an okay person.
When Stevens looked up, he met Duncan, and then there was an awkward silence.
"Tim, you have gone to the wrong place." Stevens pointed to the opposite side, and then more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the nonchalant number 21.
"Oh," Duncan scratched his head, "I'm a little dizzy."
Link almost didn't get cramped by Duncan again. He was knocked down and cramped just now. This time he almost got a joke!
The opposing player came to eavesdrop on the sand sculpture operation of tactics. Link has seen it many times on the Internet, but he did not expect that he had experienced it personally...
It must be said that after entering the league, Duncan's image was completely subverted in Link's mind.
Before, he thought Duncan was a serious silent man. It now appears to be a sand sculpture that is not young enough.
Fortunately, Duncan hadn't heard anything just now, because Stevens' tactics had already been arranged before Duncan came.
"Link, is it really okay?" Seeing that the timeout was almost over, Stevens got up from the small bench and looked directly into Link's eyes.
"I already scored 41 points, Brad, I don't mind getting two more points. Do you believe me?"
"Of course Link, you are the player I believe the most." After Stevens answered, the electronic buzzer cut through the short silence. With a tired smile, Link stepped onto the court.

"The last 12 seconds, wait, Link is still on the court, he must insist on finishing the game! Although he just had a calf cramp, Link is still standing on the court! The King of Tennessee is still guarding his territory! "Hubby Brown became excited. The Grizzlies' unbeaten home record? In fact, everyone knows that this record will be broken sooner or later.
But no one wants to be today, no one wants to lose to the Spurs!
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
After seeing Link on the court, the fans all stood up and shouted. Popovich felt his scalp was numb, that guy could actually stand up!
But it doesn't matter. Just now Link's layup has proved that he can't finish offense efficiently. This time, Leonard can definitely guard him!
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Conley took possession of the ball, consuming time. Link stood in the horn on the right. Leonard and Link were very close, so close that they turned their heads and kissed each other.
Link felt the whole arena shaking, but he was not nervous, but excited.
He likes this feeling, some people are born for this moment!
In the last 8 seconds, Conley began to move and Link began to move. According to Stevens' tactics, the black and white bears will screen Link and Conley respectively, create confusion, and then hand over the ball.
But at this moment, an accident happened. Frenchman Tony Parker scored 30 points today. He didn't want this night of his own victory to be destroyed like this. So, Parker calmly took a dig at the moment Conley started.
"Oops!" Conley felt that the basketball was out of control. The next second, the basketball flew to the sideline and he let it go!
Parker dived for the ball and he almost got the basketball. But in the end, Parker just touched the basketball with his fingertips and stabbed it out of the sideline.
The out-of-bounds ball is still the Grizzlies possession, but everything is messed up.
There are only 3.2 seconds left, and the tactics Stevens just arranged are tantamount to nonsense! Because just now, he didn't arrange a sideline game at all.
Stevens prepared two plans, a plan that Link can catch the ball, and a plan that Link can't catch the ball, and Conley's lore.
But there is no side ball tactics!
The ball was knocked out, such an accident, no one can think of it!
Popovich still frowned, but the others on the Spurs bench were already celebrating the victory in advance. Without tactical arrangements, the Grizzlies, relying on their exhausted state, want to make a 3.2 second lore from the sideline?
wishful thinking!
While Conley was still blaming himself, Link hurriedly called everyone together and whispered a few words. Afterwards, everyone dispersed and continued the game!
"What did he say to them?" Elston Turner asked anxiously.
"Only God knows!" Stevens's hands were full of sweat. Now, it's all about Link!
He can convene everyone to discuss countermeasures at a critical moment without being frightened. This is already very valuable.
Can he do more? Stevens believes that kid can do it!
Little Gasol walked out of bounds, then he served a sideline kick. The Grizzlies' positions are not scattered, it seems that they are going to do a series of off-ball screens.
Leonard tugged Link's jersey, and Link kept patting Leonard's hand off his body, and so on. Before receiving basketball, the war actually started.
The referee blew his whistle and Link rushed out with a vigorous step. The tactic he just discussed with everyone is very simple, "Give me a screen, pass the ball to me!"
As for what to do after catching the ball? Link didn't have time to think.
Link borrowed the cover of his teammates to go out and received a pass from Gasol. The reason why Gasol was chosen was because of his vision and passing skills. He can ensure the ball in any situation. Spread out.
Link's physical strength has been completely exhausted, so the speed is not fast, as soon as he received the ball, Leonard pressed forward.
So Link began to dribble along the arc outside the three-point line, seeking a way to get out of defense. Looking at the timer on the backboard, Link suddenly jumped back while running!
Shooting in the dribble, this is Link's hard work last summer. This season, he has hit the ball directly after the dribble countless times.
But this time, it made a lot of sense.
Leonard failed to take off the first time, Link's shot was too sudden! Even if Leonard reacted quickly, no matter how fast the reaction process is, it will eventually take time.
In addition, Link's body is slightly leaning back, so this ball is even more difficult for Leonard to interfere!
"If you shoot directly outside the three-point line, can the King of Tennessee complete this final blow!" Hubby Brown yelled heartily. At 80 years old, gray-haired, he felt his blood vessels seemed to be like. Burn like when I was young.
The red light of the backboard was shining on the basketball, and Popovich stared at the last "bullet" that Link shot, and couldn't help covering his heart.
"Beep~~~~~"
"brush!"
The buzzing sound and the sound of the net rolling, the basketball hits!
"Wocao!" Randolph yelled ~EbookFREE.me~ and went straight to Link.
"Fuck you! Great Link, God, you did it!" Iguodala opened his arms incoherently. He has never been so crazy in his career.
In the stands, the fans made waves. The players on the Grizzlies bench also rushed into the court, even Stevens couldn't hold back, he tore off his annoying tie, and rushed up with them.
And Link? He ran to the midfield line, with his hands around his chest, his face calm and calm, in stark contrast to the madness of the audience.
It's as if he knew all this would happen.
The Grizzlies players lifted Link up, and in the stands, the cheers of the MVP never stopped. Link came to the throne under the cheers and embrace of everyone!
San Antonio Spurs? Who cares about them!
"Now, he is the real king of Tennessee!" Hubby Brown didn't say anything after yelling this sentence. This crazy game made his voice completely dumb.
