A near game-winner, followed by a block that buried the Clippers' hopes of victory.
When the Grizzlies needed Link most, he stepped up without hesitation, delivering two spectacular plays in consecutive possessions to place the win firmly in the Grizzlies' hands.
He embodied the greatest value of a superstar!
Link had barely raised his arms in celebration before his emotional teammates "surrounded" him.
Dillon Brooks was the first to rush over and hug Link, because Link had practically saved his life.
Brooks had actually worked very hard on that defensive possession.
But unfortunately, the gap in ability between him and George was simply too great.
And there was also far too much of a difference in their physical builds.
After all, Brooks's wingspan was actually a few centimeters shorter than his height. Defending a tall, long-armed player like George was truly an uphill battle for him.
In fact, Brooks hadn't been able to contain George at all today. Otherwise, George could not possibly have scored 39 points.
When he saw George effortlessly seal him behind his body, Brooks had nearly fallen into despair.
If George hit the game-winner, he would definitely become the biggest culprit for today's loss.
Link's magnificent near game-winner would be wasted as well.
Just as Brooks prayed that George would miss, his hero arrived atop a "seven-colored cloud" and gave George a solid blast from behind.
After that, Brooks immediately ran toward Link.
At the same time, Brooks understood that at FedExForum, praying to Link was better than praying to God!
After Brooks, the rest of the Grizzlies players eagerly crowded around as well.
Thus, the sweat-soaked Link became covered in sweaty big men.
The Grizzlies players celebrated wildly, while the fans in attendance cheered for this thrilling game.
