Link's Uniqueness (3/5)

Steve Kerr had been full of anticipation for this night at first.

If the Warriors could really suppress the Grizzlies, then forget the conference finals—even the Larry O'Brien Trophy would not be out of reach!

But now, Kerr felt like a college star who had just entered the NBA from the NCAA.

Many star players who excelled in college discovered after reaching the NBA that they might be nothing at all.

That was exactly how Kerr felt right now. The confidence he had built up from those previous sixteen straight wins had been completely torn to shreds by this game.

In the face of the Grizzlies' strength, the Warriors' previous sixteen-game winning streak became worthless.

Kerr turned his head and looked toward the team bench.

He found Curry, Thompson, and Green wearing equally dejected expressions.

Those three young men had put together an unbelievable start, instantly raising the Golden State Warriors to another level.

They had been rising at an unpredictable pace, but the mountain named Link had suddenly blocked their path forward.

And getting over Link would probably not be easy.

Just then, the electronic buzzer signaling the end of the game sounded.

A tremendous roar erupted from the stands behind Kerr.

The Warriors' new head coach could not help looking up at the big screen. 123-99—the Golden State Warriors had suffered a humiliating 24-point loss on the road!

Naturally, their franchise-best sixteen-game winning streak came to an end as well.

Memphis had never lacked miracles. But only the Grizzlies could create miracles here.

Kerr now deeply understood that line, one the media had used to death.

"The game is over! Ever since the Grizzlies hit the Golden State Warriors with a 20-0 run in the second quarter, the Warriors have completely lost their rhythm! Their sixteen-game winning streak
