1191: A match that only Link can control
Live footage captured Link's finger in the stands, but it was not known who he was referring to.
Since a lot of players like to finger stand when they come out, they don't particularly care about Link's movements.
But Adam. The joke was very nervous at this point, and he knew very well that Link was referring to himself just now.
Link's action is equivalent to declaring war directly on the joke.
The joke wasn't really trying to force the outcome of the series, he was just trying to prolong the finals as long as possible.
But it's clear that Link doesn't intend to fulfill this wish.
Although Link is back on the court, the Cavaliers players are still full of confidence at this time.
Even a fool can feel that the referee is biased in favor of the knights today.
This is equivalent to a direct reduction in the difficulty of this game.
So when they saw Link play again, they weren't nervous anymore.
It's a big deal, just let him get two more fouls!
Link's appearance brought the boos to an abrupt halt and turned into cheers.
As long as Link is around, there is still hope for the game.
Owen didn't panic and still scored the ball steadily.
The 9-point difference was officially formed, and the Cavaliers only needed to successfully play one defense and one offense to widen the difference to double digits in the crucial fourth quarter!
"Link is back, and it looks like the Grizzlies have regained their confidence. Link hasn't played since picking up four fouls in the second half of the third quarter. Hopefully, in the fourth quarter, Link won't get into foul trouble again. ”
Mike. As soon as Brin finished speaking, the whistle sounded. The game was interrupted again by the referee, which made many neutral fans unbearable.
This time, Link borrowed Gasol's cover jumper to score.
But the moment the ball went in, the referee blew Gasol for an illegal cover, and the score was invalid!
If you don't blow it early, and then blow it when Link's ball goes in, this offensive foul can be said to be quite shameless.
"I actually blew an offensive foul, oh my God, the scale of today's game is really very strange!" Mike. Brin couldn't help but complain.
Of course, he has long seen the trickiness of this game, but as a commentator, he is not good at picking it out directly.
Mike. Brin has always been a very professional commentator, and he has never said much about things that he shouldn't be commenting on.
But now even Mike. Brin can't stand it anymore, a beautiful goal was blown away by the referee, how can this game be played?
"I'm Cao, where do I have illegal cover!?" The docile Gasol couldn't help but yell, and although Joggle had just been sent off, the Grizzlies players were still undeterred.
At this time, it was Link who stepped in to stop him.
"It's okay, don't be affected by this kind of thing anymore! Hurry up and retreat, retreat! ”
Link clapped his hands and shouted in an attempt to stabilize the team's morale.
He knew that this group of referees was told by jokes to blow such a game. So in today's game, no matter how much pressure you put on the referee, it was useless.
In that case, then simply leave the referee alone. If you can't score on cover, then use another way to score!
Under Link's command, the Grizzlies players all calmed down and quickly retreated.
As soon as the Grizzlies were gaining a foothold, James came out with the ball.
Obviously, he was aiming for Link. It doesn't matter if the ball goes in or not, as long as you can make a foul on Linker.
If you can get Link to leave the game with six fouls, the victory of this game will be decided by the Cavaliers!
And if Link doesn't want to be whistled for a foul? Then just dodge! In this way, James can score easily.
In most people's minds, Link will face a dilemma.
But in Link's eyes, he had a third way.
After James rushed up with the ball, Link first stepped back and let James hit the basket.
The referee has a whistle in his mouth at this time, as long as Link jumps to block, he will immediately blow the whistle!
However, at the moment when James made a layup, Link did not jump, but very fiercely did everything and directly cut off the basketball in James's hand!
The referee wanted to blow for a foul, but Link's cut was so clean that not even a bit of a horse's foot was exposed.
Even if a Link foul is blown now, it won't be okay to watch the replay later.
In the past three quarters of the game, the Grizzlies were basically blown balls that could not be blown. In other words, as long as the referee wants to, he can always find a reason to blow the penalty.
But Link's clean cut made the referee completely unable to pick out the thorns.
After the ball was cut, James reflexively wanted to get back on the ball.
As everyone knows, in the panic, he poked the ball out of the bottom line by himself.
The whistle still blew, but instead of a Link, it was blown James out of bounds.
"Beautiful defense, Link was very clever as soon as he came up and caused James to make a mistake, and the defense became one! His cuts were perfect, even as if he was deliberately making James burst to the basket to prepare for the cut! ”
Successfully winning the ball for the team, Link was cheered on by the fans.
The joke was a little nervous at this point, and Link seemed to be playing with him for real!
Link then took possession of the ball himself and passed the half.
He looked at the Cavaliers' defense and called for cover again.
James is ready to bypass Gasol's blockade at any moment.
But just before Gasol's cover was in place, Link suddenly activated without warning!
Everyone thought that Link would play a pick-and-roll with Gasol, but in reality it was just to distract James.
Link's fastest first move in the league, and even James struggled to keep up right away.
Link had just started when he shook off half of James's position.
James had to go all out to chase back, and he knew he could be a little rougher. Anyway, the referee was on the Cavaliers' side today.
However, just as James was chasing back with all his might, Link, who had clearly surpassed James, suddenly pulled the ball down to his crotch and retreated outside the three-point line again!
James braked hard and turned to face beyond the three-point line again. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he lost his center of gravity.
Although James held the ground with his hands in time and did not let himself fall.
But he was shaken off by Link, and it's a fact!
Before James could get up, Link, who had stepped back beyond the three-point line, calmly took a shot.
Link wants to see what other reasons the referee has to blow the penalty this time!
"Brush!"
"The ball went in and Link responded very aggressively! Step-back three-pointers, shook James down, and scored the ball. That's the greatest performance that the greatest superstars in this league can make! ”
Mike. Bryn's whole body was boiling, and Link's counterattack was so relieving!
"What a terrible player, his strength is completely unique in this era." In the stands, the elderly "Lord of the Rings" Bill. Russell grinned.
"yes, yes." The joker next to Russell also smiled, but laughed very awkwardly.
Is Link playing James?
No, it was a slap in the face of the president of his alliance!
“MVP! MVP! MVP! After Link's goal, there was a concerted shout from the stands at the Federal Express Arena.
Like a savior, he descended on the Federal Express Arena.
James stood up in embarrassment and rubbed his thighs.
Just slipped and fell, and the thighs seemed to be stretched.
Remembering that Link once injured Pachuria's ankle through a dumble, James felt scared.
He didn't want to be the second player to get hurt by Link.
"Keep focusing, we'll catch up!" Link didn't rush to celebrate after scoring the goal, but continued to shout at his teammates to keep them focused.
After that, Kelly. Owen tries to break through Conley. Like James, his No. 1 goal is not to score, but to draw fouls.
But this time, Conley's confrontation with Owen wasn't too intense. Jokic and Gasol's reinforcements don't seem to be so rough either.
Owen jumped up with ease, ready to put the ball in the basket.
But from the rebounding reflection, Owen saw Link rushing from behind him!
"Damn!" Of course, Irving knows how good Link's chase is, and if he insists on making a layup, the basketball will be nailed directly to the rebound.
Moreover, Link is also not suspected of fouling this ball, and the referee can't blow it if he wants to.
So, Irving turned into a pass in the air, threw the ball outside the three-point line, and handed it to James!
James was completely empty by Link from outside the three-point line, and he didn't hesitate to shoot.
It's a pity that James is not Link. He wanted to return Link from beyond the three-point line, but it wasn't that easy.
"Boom!"
The basketball slammed back to the front of the basket with a crisp sound.
James hits a lot of iron!
He missed an open shot.
Link used his bounce to bagged the rebound before Love and Thompson arrived.
Before he could land in the air, Link passed the ball to Conley. As soon as he grabbed the rebound, he launched a counterattack!
The Cavaliers immediately chased back, and Link's way of launching a counterattack was so fast that people didn't have time to react.
James was the first to rush forward, and it wasn't hard for him to chase down Conley.
He followed Conley into the penalty area, but Conley threw the ball directly behind his head without jumping.
"Not a layup!?" James stared at the basketball and subconsciously turned his head.
When he turned his head, he saw a large shadow coming towards him.
Link followed closely behind and caught the basketball that was tossed by Conley.
Although there is still a LeBron between him and the basket. James, but at this point, James has no time to do any remedy.
"Boom!"
Link smashed the ball into the frame with both hands past James, who was too late to jump, in the air!
The "Little Emperor" suffered the humiliation of Link's crotch!
"The empty spacer, and the object of the spacer is still LeBron. James! It's Link, it's a feast for the eyes! ”
Link let go of his hands and landed, and the dunk just now came easily to him.
Jump with all the strength of the sprint, even if there is a James standing under the basket, Link will not miss the dunk!
James just failed to take advantage of the three-point opportunity himself, and now he is blocked by Link.
In the past four games, Link and James have basically blown each other up.
But today, Link wants to blow James unilaterally!
This dunk made the 9-point difference instantly turn into 4 points. Even if the referee is still finding fault, there is no way to slow down the speed at which the score is approaching.
Seeing Link score such a wonderful goal, the joke feels like he has just been slammed!
Link glanced at the stands again, and once again looked at the joke.
The joke felt a chill down his spine, and for the first time, he felt that as the president of the alliance, he was so powerless.
The joke has influenced many games before with the trick of falling behind the whistle, and most of them have been successful.
But want to influence Link's game? It's simply not possible.
Link's game, after all, only Link himself can control!
The joke has a heavy expression, a stark contrast to the cheering fans around it.
Link, on the other hand, quickly stepped back and beckoned everyone to stay focused.
Champion, don't want to wait any longer for one more day!
