Link sank a heavily contested shot over both George and Leonard, a scene that stunned fans around the world.
Link had made plenty of difficult clutch shots before, but no matter how tough those shots had been, he had always managed to shake free enough space before shooting.
This time, however, Link had forced up the shot directly against the defense.
In the past, Link would at least try to get slightly free from the defender. This time, he had laid his cards on the table and stopped pretending.
The facts proved that Link could still make the shot even with defenders draped all over him!
On the court, the excited Dave Joerger was eventually grabbed by Iguodala and dragged back down.
The referees also gave Joerger a technical foul for entering the court without permission.
But Joerger did not care about a technical foul at all right now. He only wanted to cheer for Link's unbelievable basket.
As the head coach, Joerger knew very well that the play they had just run had failed.
The moment he saw Link trapped in a double-team, he had even accepted defeat in his heart.
Yet he had never expected Link to bring the Grizzlies back from the dead.
He had practically dragged the Grizzlies back from the edge of the cliff by force.
That was right—even Joerger, who worked with Link every day, had been startled by that shot.
Let alone everyone else.
"That shot was absolutely unreasonable. I don't know how the Clippers players are feeling right now, but I'd guess most of them are utterly desperate! Yes, desperate!" Hubie Brown had never expected that, after so many spectacular game-winners, Link could still reach even greater heights and continue bringing surprises to the world.
That guy truly could make clutch shots
