Antetokounmpo's three-pointer had made the situation tense. In past games, Link had always relied on his all-around abilities to turn danger into safety. But today, Antetokounmpo had displayed the same kind of versatility as Link!
It was as if anything Link could do, he could definitely do too.
On the court, his impact was evenly matched with Link's.
Link seemingly held no advantage at all, while the Milwaukee Bucks appeared to be closer to victory.
But at that moment, aside from Antetokounmpo himself, no one believed the Bucks truly held the initiative.
Everyone knew better than to ever underestimate Link in the clutch.
He could always turn a seemingly disadvantageous game around in all sorts of unbelievable ways.
And in that regard, most people believed Antetokounmpo could never keep up with Link.
In fact, this was not aimed solely at Antetokounmpo.
Looking across the entire league, people did not believe any player possessed greater clutch-time dominance than Link.
Not even "clutch killers" like Curry, Durant, and Lillard.
So, despite the dire situation, the Grizzlies fans still waved their arms excitedly and cheered at the top of their lungs.
Meanwhile, Joerger and the Grizzlies players on the sideline were in the exact opposite mood from the fans.
They were not restless. Instead, they were remarkably calm.
"Link, take more shots from beyond the arc next. Giannis's weakness is his three-point shooting. Even if he's shooting over 40 percent from three today, I guarantee he can't kill the game with threes. As long as our threes start falling, we won't have to fear Antetokounmpo's drives."
Even elementary school students understood that three was greater than two, and Joerger intended to use that to give the Grizzlies an advantage.
Of course, given Antetokounmpo's form today, there was a strong chance he would trade
