962: Do you still think I'm bad at numbers? (1/5)
Harris stared at Green at the free-throw line without flinching.
Green wanted to rely on his strong body to get in, so he began to dribble and break through.
Confident, he didn't take Harris seriously at all.
In this year's series, Green has undoubtedly proven himself at an All-Star level.
His statistics in the regular season were tepid, and so far in this year's playoffs, he has averaged 15.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
His stats are pretty comprehensive, and in addition to those stats, Green is the Warriors' playmaker as well as a defensive stalwort.
He's an indispensable part of the Warriors.
From an underdogged second-round pick to a core member of the team, Draymond. Green couldn't have done this without a lot of self-confidence.
He has never been afraid to challenge strong opponents, whether it is against LeBron. James still faces Link, and Green will not be timid.
Not to mention the fact that it is to face a Tobias. Harris.
Green leaned in suddenly, hoping to use the rough dash to push Harris away and create space for himself to make a layup.
But to Green's surprise, Harris took the shock hard, leaving no gaps for Green!
In the end, Green had no choice but to force a layup against Harris's defense. But Harris, who is tall and long-armed, completely covered Green, making the whole basket dull!
With no view of the box at all, Green could only throw the ball up by feeling.
As a result, Green fell directly out of the baseline in this tough confrontation, and his layup flew directly to the other side of the basket with the rebound, without even touching the basket!
Continued just Stephen. After Curry, the confident Green also hit a wall.
Gasol pouted to keep the Aussie behind, and Link rushed in to pick up the rebound.
Meanwhile, Tony. Aaron and Conley had already run past halftime.
The Warriors are struggling to get their hands dirty, and they've just finished their offense when they have to go all out to make a comeback to their own half.
From Curry at the No. 1 position to Bogut at the No. 5 position, the Warriors have no player today who is easy and dominant.
In their minds, it seems that getting Link is the same as getting the grizzly bear. As long as Link doesn't play good numbers, the Warriors will win.
However, they got one thing wrong - the Grizzlies are not just because of Link!
Facing the rest of the Grizzlies, they were overconfident!
Link made a long-range ground-hitting pass on the way to Toney. Aaron's hands.
Link's long-distance land-to-ball pass is already one of his signature moves, comparable to the long-range ground-and-ball passing of a top point guard, which always allows Link to get the ball to his teammates in the midst of many obstacles.
Tony. Allen didn't give Thompson a treat, and he jumped lightly after receiving the basket and made a layup.
Thompson may be a top scorer and a great No. 2 player, but don't expect to see Wade-esque chases in him.
5-3, the Grizzlies started quite strongly. And so far, Link hasn't even made a move.
The Warriors had a bigger problem than they had imagined, and they found that it wasn't just Link, but everyone in the Grizzlies who was not so easy to handle right now.
Curry intends to continue to make a big fuss about Conley's head this time, but Conley's defense is not far from an inch. Today, Conley defended aggressively, not just trying to keep his distance, but using a tough sticker to block all of Curry's shots.
Just when Curry was in trouble, he saw Harrison. Barnes suddenly cut in from the other side!
Curry's eyes lit up and he saw an opportunity to finish the offense!
Harrison. Barnes, the No. 7 pick in '12, has been the object of the Warriors' careful development. Before the game, more than one media outlet had said, "Harrison. What kind of game Barnes can play will directly determine what kind of outcome the Warriors can get this year. ”
In the last round of the series, Harrison. Barnes has been outstanding. Especially in the fifth game that decided the outcome of the game, he scored 24 points and 7 rebounds, and broke the Rockets' No. 3 position when Curry was heavily guarded, allowing the Warriors to advance smoothly.
His performance in that game also made people look forward to his journey to the Western Conference Finals. Everyone sees Barnes as the X-factor in this round of the Western Conference Finals, and his performance has the potential to upset the balance and change the entire game.
Barnes's expectations are not unfounded.
After all, Barnes averaged 16.1 points per game in the playoffs in his rookie season.
He's shown his talent, and everyone believes the third-year striker's potential isn't yet fully tapped.
Barnes himself has been very aggressive and knows he's not at the heart of this team right now. But whenever he has the chance, he holds on tightly!
Therefore, when Green came over and set up an off-ball screen for him, the "North Carolina Blackhawks" did not hesitate and immediately cut out to support Curry.
Curry is not only a marksman, but he also has excellent passing skills. Under Conley's pressing, he smashed the ball between the legs of the Grizzlies No. 11 guard!
When Barnes received the basketball, Gasol was still tangling with Bogut. As long as he's fast enough, he'll be able to get the ball up before Gasol retreats!
Barnes couldn't help but pick up his pace and jumped on one leg close to the basket, raising his arms high.
The third-year forward, who is as confident as his teammates, has been swept away by the praise from the media. So much so that he really thinks that he may be able to be the key to swaying the situation.
Thankfully, Link quickly put an end to his unrealistic fantasies!
Barnes had barely lifted his feet off the ground when he felt someone slam him from behind.
At that moment, Barnes's heart was already half cold. He knew he had become the prey.
After getting rid of Green's off-ball screen, Link approached Barnes at incredible speed, eventually fanning the basketball out of Barnes' hand from the side.
He didn't give Barnes a chance, and slapped the rising star to the ground.
Harrison. Barnes' first career point in the Western Conference Finals was gone.
Link immediately joined the counter-attack after completing the block, and as he passed Barnes, Link didn't forget to wink at the third-year forward.
"Don't make the Western Conference Finals too simple, boy!"
As he spoke, the Grizzlies' counterattack had been pushed to the frontcourt. Conley got into the box and distributed the ball to Harris, who was following behind, and Harris threw a shot into the face of Green's defense.
Green suffered a loss on Harris just now, so this time, Green didn't make Harris feel better.
The moment Harris threw his shot, Green jumped up and blocked.
And in the air, his elbow also pushed Harris in the abdomen, intentionally or not.
This is Draymond. Green's style, he will take every opportunity he can to hurt his opponents.
was pushed to the abdomen by Green, and Harris naturally lost his crosshairs. His throw eventually hit the rim of the basket, and Bogut swung his iron elbow roughly, cleared the box, and grabbed the defensive rebound.
Kerr let out a big sigh as the Warriors finally made a successful defense. And sometimes if you want to stabilize the situation, a successful defense is enough!
Just as Kerr was confidently waiting to see the Warriors fight back, Link suddenly rushed to Bogut's side and took the basketball off Bogut's hand!
Bogut had just grabbed the rebound and landed with both feet, and before he could react to what was happening, the ball was taken out.
When he turned around, he saw that Link had already taken advantage of the situation to hang his hands on the frame and complete the dunk.
"Beautiful, Link grabbed the basketball the moment the Warriors switched from defense to offense and scored the ball with ease! It was a perfect sneak attack, and Bogut had to be careful. At the Federal Express Arena, there is not a second in his hand where the basketball is safe, even when he has just grabbed a rebound! ”
Link's dunk finally set the arena on fire, and in the stands, the deep dark blue "ocean" began to churn.
Link spread his hands at Bogut and Green, then gestured to the large screen and motioned for them to look at their stats.
At this time, although the game has only been played for a few rounds, Link has already filled in the data columns of points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
If the game continues like this, Link's stats will definitely become quite gorgeous!
"Don't you think I'm in bad numbers? Come on, stop me! With that, Link walked away, leaving only two gnashing of his teeth behind the villains.
Bill watching the game at home. Simmons laughed, Link, it's time to start making good on his promises.
