1042: Tragedy Princes (5/5)

This is not the first time Hubby Brown has experienced such a desperate moment at the Federal Express Arena.

But at this moment, he was still extremely nervous.

Behind him, many fans were just as blinded as him.

Because today, the two people who visited the Federal Express Arena had an extremely high winning rate!

At this time, the Grizzlies wearing a white home jersey faced the Portland Trail Blazers wearing a black jersey. This was the second consecutive home game for the Grizzlies after facing the Clippers two days ago.

With only 31 seconds left in the game, the two sides are currently tied at 101.

Last summer, the Trail Blazers almost experienced a reorganization. Because of their starting five tigers, four of them were gone in one go!

Except for the youngest Damien Lillard, the Trail Blazers did not keep any of them.

People thought that the Trail Blazers would fall after the starter's five tigers parted ways. But last season, under the leadership of Lillard, the Trail Blazers scored 44 wins and 38 losses and successfully entered the playoffs!

And in the playoffs, the Trail Blazers performed very well, and they were not defeated until they encountered the "Galaxy Battleship" Warriors in the second round.

The Trail Blazers can continue to be strong in the West, with the strongest performance. In addition to Lillard's best performance in his career, the rise of c.j. McCollum, the No. 10 rookie in 2013, is beyond the expectations of most people.

Last season, McCollum averaged 20.8 points per game and shot as high as 41.7% from three-pointers!

You know, before that, McCollum averaged less than 10 points per game!

The emergence of Portland's double-gun in the backcourt allowed the Trail Blazers to still occupy a place in the top eight in the West.

Moreover, this has one feature for the backcourt combination, that is, it is never ruthless at critical moments!

In the first round of last season's playoffs, Lillard's final victory was the finale at the last moment, sending the Rockets home!

Last season, in a regular season game, McCollum took the lead due to injury and finally threw a throw in the last second of the game.

Both of these defenders have been labeled as "cold-blooded killers" by fans. Times like today are simply born for Lillard and McCollum!

In this game, McCollum and Lillard performed very well. With the Grizzlies full of firepower, they played 55 and 5 games with the Grizzlies.

Among them, McCollum made 6 of 12 shots from outside the three-point line today, hitting a 50% three-point shooting percentage!

Wade, Carter, Tony Allen and even Iguodala took turns defending McCollum, but his hot feel was unstoppable.

In addition, Lillard's touch was also excellent today. Although he didn't make much of three-pointers, he scored a lot of points in the mid-range emergency stop jump shot.

This excellent performance of this pair of double-guns in the backcourt is the main reason why the Trail Blazers can keep a close eye on the score today.

At this time, the Trail Blazers' possession, both Lillard and McCollum, have the ability to complete the last strike.

Lillard delayed time outside the three-point line, and the one who brought up to defend him was Lillard's good friend Link!

Lillard was very calm. Although Link was very strong, and in the 2015 playoffs, Link also joined forces with Conley to defend Delillard against almost autistic.

But after all, they are good friends, and they train together every summer, and Lillard himself has made great progress.

Therefore, Lillard felt less fear in his heart when facing Link.

When the attack time is only 6 seconds away from 24 seconds, Lillard calls for cover and then looks for a scoring opportunity.

The Trail Blazers' last offensive choice is Lillard!

Now it only takes one or two points, or even two free throws, and the Trail Blazers can take the lead. Therefore, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts did not choose to take risks outside the three-point line.

Besides, with Lillard's shooting percentage of his emergency stop jump shot today, he believes that Lillard can handle this game like he did in the previous few final shots!

Leveraging Mason Plumley's cover, Lillard broke through to the near-the-free throw line and then stopped and took a quick stop!

But Link appeared in front of Lillard almost without delay, and he took almost no time to get rid of the cover!

"Link defended well. He was not disturbed by cover and did not rush over. Damien was in danger!"

"Damn!" Lillard's heart skipped a beat, and it was no longer clear!

Of course he knew how good Link's defense was, so Lillard never expected to take action easily.

But he thinks he can at least get a little shot space, and as long as he has a little shot space, it is completely enough!

However, Link didn't even give him this gap!

Lillard knew that this was no longer a question of whether he could score a goal. If he insisted on taking action, he would definitely be blocked directly!

In desperation, Lillard turned into a pass and "blamed" McCollum.

McCollum was not ready to execute the final shot at all. He took a hasty shot as soon as he received the ball.

The result is obvious. McCollum's three-pointer came out of the box, and Portland missed the opportunity to kill the game with two shots in the backcourt!

With 6 seconds left in the game, the Grizzlies immediately fought back!

Link personally controls the ball and advances, reducing the risk of unnecessary passes and mistakes.

Just after halftime, another "African Prince" Aminu posted it up.

In the past two days, Link has really made friends with the princes.

In the last game, Cameroonian prince Bamot had just been killed, and today, the Nigerian prince Amino came.

However, both princes were in a very bad situation. In the last game, Bamott was hit by Link in two and a half quarters, and today Link had scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists on Amino's head.

Three consecutive games scored a triple-double!

In the key blow, Link did not use any fancy moves. He started to hold the ball with his back at mid-range, intending to hit Aminu with his back!

In the last 1.3 seconds, Link turned over and jumped into the shot under the interference of Amino's long arm.

His turn-over jump shot seemed to be a combination of Jordan and Kobe, both elegant and beautiful, and very capable in movements.

Link seemed to be deliberately stuck in time, and the moment when the red light appeared on the rebound, the basketball also entered the net hollow.

“Beep~~~~~”

"Brush~~~~~"

Lillard and McCollum both opened their mouths wide, Link's calm appearance when he shot the last shot, as if he knew that this goal would definitely be scored...

"The final kill, the first final kill this season! Link finally won the game. He allowed Lillard and McCollum to see what a real cold-blooded killer is! Oh my God, this goal is so exciting, worth back to defend ten times, a hundred times! At that moment, I seemed to see the shadows of Kobe and Jordan in Link!"

The final victory was successful, Link looked at Lillard and spread his hands, "I'm sorry, man, I don't want to lose."

Lillard shook his head and claimed to be unlucky.

When he met Link, he had already made such mental preparations. After all, he was the strongest man in this alliance.

Link's final victory allowed the Grizzlies to narrowly defeat the Trail Blazers 103-101.

This is the most thrilling Grizzlies have won since the start of the 16-17 season.

But whether it is thrilling or not, the Grizzlies won the game, which is the fact.

Seven consecutive victories, 7 wins and 0 losses, the Grizzlies' invincible body was maintained by Link's beautiful turn-over jump shot!

"Oh my God, the Grizzlies this season really seem to have returned to their heyday. Only one year later, the Grizzlies have recovered after only one year! I don't know which team can defeat the Grizzlies! I really look forward to the day when the Warriors and the Grizzlies meet soon!"

"Yes, Lillard and McCollum both did the best today, and their performance was not bad. However, if they wanted to beat Link, they had to be even better."

"Yes, after this game, I think those who question Link's ranking in the Hall of Fame pyramid should shut up."

"In fact, they've shut up after the last game against the Clippers."

Listening to Hubby Brown and his partner start to swear Link, Bamot, who was watching the game, turned off the TV.

The Grizzlies won again, and they won the final victory...

Their strength made Bamot admire him.

Since being beaten by Link in the last game, Bamott has been very concerned about the Grizzlies' updates.

He believed that in ten minutes, the news that Link completed his final victory would definitely flood all sports websites around the world again!

This unparalleled attention may not even be as high as James.

And that's why Bamot cares about the Grizzlies.

He himself didn't care about any attention, but one of his friends needed it.

So Bamot took out his cell phone and sent a text message, "No matter what, you must play against the Grizzlies. And, try to win them! If you can, you can become famous in one battle!"

After a while, Bamot received a reply, "Don't worry, I will do my best. I have already drawn red circles on the day on the calendar. Maybe I will really surprise them, haha."

Looking at the text message, Bamot smiled with relief.
