778: Wing combination with 60 points

Crotch passing isn't actually a street-court action.

In the NBA, there are not many examples of crotch piercing, but they are not untraceable. And even in the fiercely contested playoffs, there have been pictures of people wearing crotch before.

2007 Finals, Spurs VS Cavaliers. At that time, Manu. Ginobili broke through the lovely Daniel with a crotch pass. Gibson and made a layup.

Ginobili has worn a crotch in his career and is probably the player with the least Spurs style of play.

But most of the players who can finish the crotch pass are defenders. Moreover, it is still the number one in the majority. Because in the ultra-high-level NBA arena, it is extremely difficult to shake off space, let alone the fancy work of wearing the crotch.

If you don't have the league's top ball handling ability, you can't do this in the NBA.

However, just now, Link, a standard small forward with a height of 2.03 meters, wore Leonard with a move that embarrassed many guards!

What's even more terrifying is that Leonard was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team this year! In the last round of the Western Conference semifinals, his defense made the scoring champion Durant struggle very much.

It was such a defensive warrior who was stunned to be teased by Link in the way of wearing his crotch.

Link's goal just now, from every point of view, is incredible.

"Can anyone tell me what Link thinks!? How could he have thought of such an action as piercing the crotch!? That's Kawaii. Leonard, that's a member of the All-Defensive Team! Link is too bold, and it can be seen from this year's slam dunk contest that there is nothing he dare not do! ”

Hubi. Brown still feels his scalp tingle, who would have thought that on the top of the West, he would see such an exaggerated over-the-top movement.

Old Hubby bets that the fans who support the Spurs in the other 49 states must have just been cheering for Link's beauty!

No one is immune to that kind of excitement, and as long as you like basketball, you can't just dislike that action.

At this point on the Spurs bench, Popovich found Leonard frowning.

Leonard rarely expresses his emotions on his face, no matter what the situation, no matter what kind of strong opponent, he can face it calmly.

But now, Leonard was beaten by Link again, and his brows were furrowed. Let Leonard's plan to lock up Link and completely ruin it!

On the other side, the Grizzlies players yelled with excitement one by one. They, like the fans, haven't recovered from the highlights just now.

Link looked up at the replay on the big screen of the scene, and even he thought it was incredible!

When he broke through at that time, he didn't think about it that much, and it was impossible for him to deliberately think about wearing Leonard's crotch.

Link's only thought at the time was to score goals, the only thing he was thinking about was how to get past Leonard.

Seeing Leonard swaying between himself and Butler, full of flaws, Link reflexively slammed the basketball to the ground.

I wore it like this inexplicably.

To put it bluntly, the crotch-piercing punch was entirely an instinctive move made by Link. It wasn't until Link dunked to the ground and heard the whistle blow for the timeout that he realized what an incredible thing he had done.

Grant. Hill's handling skills are gorgeous, but his style of play is relatively unpretentious.

Link, on the other hand, interprets a riotous Grant. What a garish Hill is.

As a player who is based on defense in the NBA, Leonard must be quite depressed and even self-doubting after being crotched.

Don't look at that guy all day, but he's not really a Terminator robot. He also has feelings, emotions, but he is buried deeper than others.

But Link believes that even if he buries deeper, Leonard must have been hit just now.

After all, wearing a crotch is a humiliating move.

If Leonard had been in a frustrated mood and couldn't get out, Link would have had an easier time playing the next step.

This quasi-FMVP is not mature enough.

The short timeout did not change the Spurs' decline.

After the timeout came back for the first attack, Ginobili's riotous pass was met by Jimmy. Butler steals and picks up a turnover.

Ginobili's pass was always on the verge of a top five and a turnover, and the pass was a good ball destined for the top five. If you can't pass it, you are destined to be counterattacked.

It's either heaven or hell.

It's a pity that Ginobili didn't work out this time.

Jimmy. Butler held the ball and made a quick push, and this time, Leonard resolutely chose to defend Link.

Then, Butler leaned on Ginobili to force a layup. With Ginobili's body, it is really difficult to withstand the impact of Butler.

As soon as he came back, the difference was widened to 15 points. In other words, the Spurs' timeout didn't work at all.

In the second quarter, it came to the end under the dual offensive of Link and Butler. In the end, the Spurs barely managed to stabilize the difference at 13 points with a few consecutive three-pointers in the final moments.

However, trailing by 13 points at halftime was beyond Popovich's expectations.

In his imagination, the Spurs should have beaten the Grizzlies in the first half!

He thought he could control the game, but the Spurs were out of control the whole game.

Heading into the second half, the Spurs began to increase their shooting from beyond the three-point line in an attempt to equalize the score with a dense three-point shot.

But the randomness of the three-point shot is too great, and the current Spurs can't do the three-point efficiency of the Warriors in the future.

Not to mention the Spurs, in fact, in the entire history of the NBA, there are only a handful of teams that can be as stable as the Warriors in three-point shooting.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Spurs relied on three-pointers to narrow the gap to 4 points. But after that, the Spurs experienced another embarrassing period of 4 minutes without scoring. During this period, they missed all 5 three-point shots. In the case of not being able to score, he was also bombarded by Link and Butler.

Originally, the flanks were where the Spurs were strong. But now, it has been completely blown up by the grizzly bears.

Popovich's roar grew quieter and quieter, and his expression became more and more lonely. When the game reached the final three minutes of the fourth quarter and the Spurs still trailed by 14 points, Popovich gave up on resisting completely.

The old man, who thought he could easily handle a grizzly bear, had glazed eyes and messy hair. He was sitting on the bench at this time, no different from an ordinary old man.

So Link said, don't over-mythologize Popovich.

That guy is just a mortal.

In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs 122-105 at home. On the Spurs' side, Duncan blasted 27 points and was the only player to score 20 points.

And on the Grizzlies' side, Link and Jimmy. Butler combined for 60 points! Link had 34 points, eight rebounds and seven assists and Butler had 26 points. These two people's scores account for 50% of the Grizzlies' total scores.

The Spurs' flanks were blown to the ground. And Link, who Leonard defended, also became the player with the highest score in the game today.

After the match, Popovich felt a little in a trance when he was interviewed.

Since entering the playoffs, the Spurs have not been abused so badly. Although they have lost several games before, they have basically lost.

It is the first time that the opponent has been slaughtered by more than 120 points like today!

The white-haired old man didn't say any more bad jokes, and he couldn't even organize his language well, and his speech was fragmented.

"We ...... We have to get ready for the game again. Link and Durant are not the same, and neither are the Grizzlies and Thunder. I have to say that we have faced an opponent who is stronger than all the teams in the league. ”

Eventually, Popovich held back such a sentence and walked away quickly.

On the other end, the ESPN reporter kept Link behind. Today, Link was once again named the best of the game, and the Spurs changed a lot of defensive strategies to deal with Link, but Link still scored a game-high 34 points.

Coupled with that crotch cut to Leonard, Link became the most high-profile player on the court.

"It's a big win in the big game, coming out on top in the Western Conference Finals, is there anything you want to say?" The reporter's question was simple, he didn't want to embarrass Link.

Link grinned and grabbed the microphone directly from the host's hand, "I'm glad that I proved that approval ratings don't have any impact on victory." Not to mention 49 states, even if the whole world does not support us, as long as there is still this 1 state support, we will be invincible! ”

After Link, he gestured to the fans in the stands. And the Tennessee fans also returned Link's fiercest cheers.

As for fans in the other 49 states, Link is happy that they can go to hell with the Spurs together!

To be able to disappoint so many people because of himself, Link feels quite fulfilled......

Being a villain is much more enjoyable than being a hero.
