270: It's really good to last

The second quarter began, with the Spurs taking the lead with an eight-point advantage. In other words, if the Spurs score, they would start the second quarter with a double-digit advantage. For the Grizzlies, they are under a lot of defensive pressure this time! As soon as Kerr finished speaking, he noticed that the Grizzlies made a substitution in the second quarter.

"They only got on Mark. Gasol an inside line!? Cole's partner also noticed the problem and shouted in surprise.

The last time the Grizzlies let Guy play the No. 4 position, the purpose was to get more offensive firepower. Could it be that the Grizzlies want to play against the Spurs?

With a question mark in their hearts, everyone began to enjoy the performances of the second quarter of both sides.

"Steady, steady, everybody run!" Seeing the Spurs players in white home jerseys slowly approaching, Link clapped his hands and shouted loudly to remind his teammates.

Usually Randolph does this kind of thing, but now that Randolph is not playing, Link has taken the responsibility himself.

The likes of Conley, Guy and Gasol Jr., although more senior than Link, don't like yelling on the pitch too much. As a result, Link was the perfect fit.

Everyone licked their lips and waited for it. Parker had the ball outside the three-point line, and he was the key to the Spurs' pick-and-roll play! Break through without changing defenses, and assist when you change defenses. In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies' defense was disrupted by Parker.

Sure enough, Parker beckoned and played a covering match with Split. But this time, Parker didn't get the speed advantage of a small fight. Because it was no longer Randolph who was defending him, it was Rudy. Guy!

"The change of guard was very timely, Rudy crossed in front of Parker, he didn't have a chance!"

Parker wasn't in a hurry, but hit the ball to Split as he cut into the basket. It's a change of defense, but there's no way you're going to let Conley defend Split as a center.

Split caught the ball and walked to the basket, thinking it was an easy chance to score. As everyone knows, Mark. Gasol raised his arms high to make up for it, and the big white bear has been guarding the restricted area!

Split is a blue-collar center whose role is only on the defensive end. Offensive? He really doesn't have too much ability to attack on his own.

Seeing that he was entangled by the big white bear, Split passed the ball to the outside, and the target was Leonard!

"Run, run, run!" At this point, Lincoln only had one word in his head. He gritted his teeth to keep up with Leonard, and then poked the basketball out of bounds with his fingertips before the No. 2, who was more "paralyzed" than Duncan, received the basketball!

"The Spurs' pass was disrupted, and Link defended it tightly!" Cole clapped his hands and applauded, and the positivity was commendable.

But Popovich smiled off the court, Link is so defensive, how long can he hold out? You know, he was playing in Boston 24 hours ago!

Basketball is not a 100-meter sprint, it's a marathon.

"Go on!" Popovich waved his hand, he doesn't believe in evil!

Although the ball still belongs to the Spurs, it can be regarded as a success to disrupt the opponent's attack. The next ball, it was still Parker who came out to catch the ball. This time he switched to playing blocking and dismantling with Duncan!

As a result, Gasol Jr. continued not to follow, and he remained in the vicinity of the three-second zone. Parker didn't think about it, and passed back to Duncan directly after breaking through under cover!

Duncan's mid-range, how can you just put it?

"Run, run, run!" Link was still silent in his mind, and he ran a second before Parker's pass.

So, before the start of that game, I went to the Grizzlies half-court to shoot, and after being snubbed, I was embarrassed to jump back to my own half-court "comics." When he was about to receive the basketball, he saw a beautiful boy floating by.

Then, the basketball in front of him was gone.

"Link again! This time he directly steals the basketball! It was all a chance for positivity to fight out, and the Grizzlies fought back! ”

Link has a good sense of defense and can anticipate the opposition's passing options. Therefore, it is always possible to make a decision in advance.

Of course, the most important thing is that he listened to Hollins's arrangement just now. To put it bluntly, if you want to win against the Spurs, you have to fight with them, and you have to fight to die here. If you don't run the defensive end, you want to conserve your stamina, just wait to be shot like you did in the first quarter.

Link led by example and put Hollins tactics into practice. He made a steal and then pushed forward, and the Grizzlies' lineup of one big and four small gave them a counterattack speed that they didn't have before!

When it comes to grizzly bears, people think of a one-sided positional attack and a retro low-post hard chisel. But at this time, everyone except Gasol Jr. was able to run all over the court.

Hollins' lineup changes are really just for defensive reasons. Now the tempo of the attack has been increased, which is a complete bonus.

Link ran between the three-point line and the halfway line and suddenly threw the ball into the box.

Leonard, who was guarding in front of Link, immediately turned back, Guy was still dragging behind, and Conley was not a dunk. Who did he want to give this pass to?

As a result, the Grizzlies' most beautiful No. 21 quickly cut into the basket, easily shook off Jefferson, and then jumped high, stunned to receive Link's pass, and pressed it into the frame with one hand!

"Oh my god, super long distance air tie-in, Link and Jimmy. Butler delivered the Grizzlies' best goal of the day! "Cole was shown so that his scalp was numb, this kind of ultra-long-distance air connection and violent buckle, the ornamentation is simply not to say!

Jimmy. Butler, despite his outstanding performance yesterday, is still a little transparent. But he's not without talent, Jimmy. Butler's athleticism and speed are absolutely top among college players. So this kind of fast attack is simply for Jimmy. Butler tailor-made.

A player who has no talent at all is unlikely to be selected.

Like Link before, he really didn't have much talent......

"Well done Jimmy, well done! Kill him, you're going to kill him today! Link excitedly yelled at Butler that he couldn't make a mistake on Jefferson's head today, so he would encourage someone else to make a mistake for him!

The margin became 6 points, Link defended aggressively and Jimmy. Butler's empty dunk also boosted the Grizzlies' morale.

When Leonard approached Link again, Link became silent and extremely focused.

Link knew that trash talk was useless to Leonard. In that case, let's use action to compare ourselves!

Parker was noticeably more cautious this time after his mistake. The Spurs still block and roll, but it's no longer Parker and Duncan blocking, it's Jefferson and Duncan blocking.

As always, Gasol Jr. didn't follow, and Jefferson covered and passed back to Duncan. This time, Jefferson kept an eye on the ball and passed it higher.

Sure enough, Link didn't grab the basketball when he rushed over, and Leonard was left empty!

Although Duncan was funny, he was very smart and did not hesitate, and he immediately passed the ball to Leonard, who was let go by Link.

The Spurs pass the ball fast, and the Grizzlies switch defenses quickly! As soon as Leonard received the basketball, he found Jimmy. Butler made up for it. Leonard then passed the ball to the right corner and was played by Jimmy. Jefferson dropped by Butler, this time, it should be an empty seat!

Jefferson catches the ball and shoots, and he thinks he has a good three-point hand. But as soon as he made a move, he saw the face that made him desperate.

Link!

"Smack!"

The basketball made a muffled thud and flew straight to the Spurs bench. Richard. Jefferson was stunned for a moment, only to realize that his shot was bloody!

"A slap in the face! The Grizzlies' defense is leaky! Their defense is very positive and tacit! Link kept running, running from Leonard to Duncan and from Duncan to Jefferson, and he didn't stop for a moment! But the hard work has paid off, and the cap just now will definitely be selected as one of today's top five! ”

At Kerr's shouting, the Grizzlies bench went crazy, everyone jumped up and down, and Randolph, the fat man, rolled directly on the ground. This lump of five flowers rolling on the ground naturally won many shots.

Link yelled at Jefferson after completing the block, and against Leonard, a guy who can't speak, Link was already suffocated.

"You've got to go faster, man, you're shooting too slow! Wherever you are, I can run to you! ”

Jefferson looked at Link who was showing off his might in front of him, and his heart was really bitter. A veteran will be bullied by a newcomer, which is really miserable enough.

If it weren't for the referee's verbal warning, Link would have been fierce for a while. After being cautioned by the referee, Link returned to Leonard's side. Then, be silent and stay focused!

"That kid doesn't want to play the fourth quarter anymore!?" Popovich looked at Link, who had disrupted the Spurs' offense again and again, and felt a little incredible.

It's not a problem to prevent this, but it won't last long.

However, Link has already made up his mind that he will show Popovich what it means to be a long-lasting real man!

The Spurs served the sideline again, and then they found that the Grizzlies were all rougher.

Link stirred up everyone's emotions, and the Grizzlies turned into the same beast they were in last season's playoffs.

This time, the Spurs were forced to not even play tactics. Parker was forced to a great deal by Conley, and the Spurs could only force a shot from Duncan before the end of the 24-second offensive time.

But with Gasol Jr.'s interference, Duncan's shot naturally missed. Duncan was about to scramble for a second rebound, but before he could jump, Link suddenly flew out, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and then grabbed it to his chest with great momentum, and hugged his hands tightly.

Popovich gritted his teeth, it's Link again! How is he everywhere today!

"Bang!" The basketball was hugged hard by Link, and it sounded again, watching Link rush back to the basket from outside the three-point line to grab the board, Popovich really thought that this kid was crazy.

Immediately after Link landed, he made a long one-handed pass, and in front, Rudy. Guy has already thrown off Split for 108,000 miles!

"With a long pass from the backcourt, Link is like a quarterback on a football field. The Grizzlies are very fast on offense, never before! ”

As soon as Cole finished speaking, Guy received the basketball. In the first quarter, he couldn't shoot a goal, but now the opportunity to score is effortless.

Facing the unguarded basket, Guy vented all the unhappiness in his heart! A two-handed smash dunk made the basket sink a few centimeters!

The moment Guy scored, Link slammed his chest and waved at the stands, signaling the stunned stands to make some noise. These few rounds are really cool!

"Our offense was halted by Link." Next to Popovich, Budenholzer spread his hands helplessly.

He didn't say that the Spurs' offense was contained by the Grizzlies, but that it was contained by Link...... Link's galloping figure has begun to make the Spurs jealous.

Popovich is still firmly seated at the Diaoyu Tai, and he admits that Link has been excellent in these rounds, and he can even score a perfect score.

But he still didn't believe that Link could run like this until the last minute.
