Link ended the Grizzlies' first quarter with an earth-shattering four-point run, 27-26, with the Grizzlies leading by one point heading into the second quarter.

Both sides are not low on score. The Mavericks still played well, and Dirk scored seven points in the first quarter. Although the Grizzlies adopted a team defense strategy against the Germans today, in the first quarter of the game, Dirk still relied on his scoring threat and shot 3 of 3 free throws.

While the Mavericks' offense is still strong, the Grizzlies are playing at their level. In this quarter of the game, the Grizzlies undoubtedly proved that they are not the kind of team that can only defend!

Link scored 8 points in a single quarter, and still without free throws! In other words, Link's performance in the first quarter of the game was more efficient than Nowitzki! Among them, the four-point score is extremely high, and it is a key goal to help the Grizzlies stabilize the situation.

Randolph also scored seven points in a single quarter, and after adapting to the Mavericks' defense, Randolph's form picked up.

Nowitzki walked off the court with a serious face, and as soon as he sat down, he spoke.

"Today's Grizzlies are different from the day before yesterday, we can't take them lightly, we have to treat them with the mentality of the defending champions!" Dirk still remembers Link's look after he scored a successful four, the kind of look that usually only exists in people who are hungry for victory!

The rest of the Mavericks are a little confused, isn't it just that the Grizzlies are temporarily leading by 1 point, is it so exaggerated?

But the Mavericks are a good team after all, and Nowitzki also has an absolute say. So, the players still nodded their heads.

"We played well in the first quarter, but the Grizzlies' offense was a little too long. Therefore, in the second section, we continue to maintain the original strategy. Jason, I need you to start in the second quarter and look beyond the three-point line. Wait for us to make a couple of three-pointers, and then put the ball in the low post. When the time comes, Dirk, I need you to seize your chance! After the players finished speaking, Mavericks coach Rick Brown. Carlisle has just appeared.

Carlisle is calm and confident in the quality of his team. From the regular season all the way to the playoffs, no one knows the strength of the Mavericks better than Carlisle. Therefore, it seems that he is not worried about the current lag at all.

Even, he just used the phrase "the Grizzlies' offense is a bit overperforming" to describe the opponent.

Dirk nodded after listening to Carlisle's words, Carlisle's tactics were generally correct. But did the Grizzlies just go overperform...... You'll find out in a moment.

"In the second quarter, Link, I want you to end the defense against Dirk. The task of assisting Dirk is handed over to Mark! Jean Tyson. Chandler doesn't have to worry about a few dunks, but if we let the Mavericks shoot from beyond the three-point line, we won't be able to eat and walk away! On the other side, Carlisle is also explaining the tactics.

The Mavericks' offense is basically supported by mid-to-long-range shooting, and it has been said that a team can't win games by shooting, so Carlisle believes the Mavericks can break that notion.

The Mavericks love mid-range shots, and the second quarter will definitely strengthen the number of mid-range shots as well. The reason why he was able to occasionally interfere with Nowitzki in the first quarter was mainly because the Mavericks' starting quarterback was Deshane. Stevenson. This product doesn't have a high desire to score, and the role is a pseudo-starter + defensive sapper.

In this way, the person who was leaked out by Link, Tony. Aaron can occasionally help make up for it.

But at the beginning of the second quarter, if the Mavericks go to Terry, it is very dangerous to continue to wrap the inside. So, Hollins decided to let the two inside lines work with each other. Outside players, just watch their own position.

Link nodded, not saying much. After scoring four points, he couldn't wait for the game to continue!

Finally, the electronic beep sounded, and Link was the first to stand up and enter the court! But as soon as he stepped into the wooden floor, Link was stopped by the referee.

"Kid, you can't play while drinking Gatorade!"

"Oh......" Link, who was the first to rush onto the court, returned to the bench in embarrassment, returning the paper cup containing Gatorade to the staff before re-entering the court.

I was a little too excited, so excited......

※※※

Marion stared at the 0 in front of him, his eyes full of resentment. He's kind of able to experience Richard a little now. Jefferson felt in the last round, this undrafted pick is annoying, very annoying!

As the backdrop for Link's four-point whistle in the first quarter of the game, Marion was still a little angry at this time. He wanted to return a goal to Link, but he didn't find a chance before.

But this time, the opportunity he had always dreamed of came!

After Terry came on, Tony. Allen's defensive attention was immediately drawn. On Link's side, as long as he goes to trap Dirk, Marion has a chance.

Kidd also knows this, so he calls Dirk and himself to cover up. After the cover, pass the ball to Dirk, and the offensive opportunity will definitely come out!

Blocking, cutting, catching, and breaking, Nowitzki's movements were done in one go, and after receiving Kidd's pass, Nowitzki deliberately glanced at Link in the bottom right corner. Sure enough, the kid leaned over to him again!

In the first quarter, Dirk suffered several losses, so in the second quarter, in addition to paying attention to Randolph, Dirk also paid special attention to Link's position. Seeing Link leaning over, Nowitzki did not hesitate and threw the ball directly to Marion, who was ambushed in the bottom corner on the right side!

But Dirk had just passed the ball out and he regretted it. Because the moment Link passed the ball, he turned over and pounced on Mario. It's just a fake bag, just to lure him into passing!

Marion received the ball and thought he had a chance. As a result, in the blink of an eye, Link appeared in front of him.

But Marion didn't give up, and this was a great opportunity for him to get rid of his shame! And Carlisle also said that at the beginning of the second quarter, the outside line had to attack first!

So this guy caught the ball and burst out, thinking that he could beat Link for a time difference!

As a result, Link almost started with Marion, moved a step sideways, and with a stiff chest, he stopped Marion in a daze!

His defense is leaky, Marion has no advantage at all!

"This is a miserable defense that limits the scoring champion, Sean needs to be careful!" Mike. Brin clapped his hands and Link's defense was a great treat every time.

"Damn it!" Marion saw that the breakthrough could not be done, so he suddenly stopped and threw when he pulled it up!

But just like just now, his emergency stop didn't shake off Link half a step! As if he could predict his next move, Link quickly sealed it!

Marion made a shot, and Link was stunned. I saw that this guy, who was wearing the same No. 0 jersey as himself, threw the ball almost in front of his chest. Shaoxia is so skilled, if he learns his shooting posture, he will definitely become the most beautiful boy on the basketball court......

The biggest advantage of Marion's shot is that he shoots stealthily and quickly. But under the interference of Link sealing in front of him, no matter how fast you move, it will be in vain.

Marion's pull-up jumper eventually hit the front of the basket, meaning Marion's shot was almost completely out of sight.

Tyson. Chandler jerked Gasol Jr., who was stuck in front of him, and forced an offensive rebound. But it didn't work, the referee was clear, Chandler scrambled for the rebound and fouled, and the ball still belonged to the Grizzlies!

"Can you teach me to shoot?" After defending Marion, Link deliberately stimulated the former All-Star forward.

Marion gritted his teeth, this little devil is going to reach his neck!

"Don't think I'm with Richard. Jefferson is just as easy to bully, little ghost! Marion pointed at Link's nose and replied angrily.

Link wasn't scared or angry, but rather a little happy. Marion's response was right, the response showed that he was angry, he was impulsive, and he was afraid that Marion would ignore him!

The margin was still 1 point, and the Mavericks failed to overtake the score. Next, the Grizzlies have a chance to widen the difference!

Conley gave the ball to Gasol Jr. after halftime, and Gasol cut low to Tony under the basket. Allen scored easily.

Terry's 1.88m tall scoreman is already a bit short, and after his age, it is a little difficult to prevent cutting with his athleticism.

Coupled with Gasol Jr.'s response, Chandler would be held back by him, making it difficult to protect the basket in time.

The Grizzlies' offense cut the Mavericks' defense clear, and with the Dallas Mavericks trailing by 3 points, Nowitzki's fears finally happened.

"Take your time, let's play the success rate, don't rush!" So when the Mavericks pushed up again, Nowitzki spoke.

No matter who you are, you can't just make a random move now!

This time, Kidd made a few gestures, and the Mavericks players immediately understood.

Dekra went to mid-range, Marion and Terry interspersed with runs, and Tyson screened them off the ball.

Just when everyone thought Kidd was going to pass, he broke through! Conley was ill-prepared and was thrown out of the way by Kidd. A historic point guard, even if he is almost 40, is a nightmare for most defensive players.

Kidd is on the inside, and the Mavericks are full of opportunities. But those were all covers, and Kidd threw the ball into the air lightly, and Tyson. Chandler jumped up and grabbed the basketball in the air.

"Good shot!" Carlisle flicked his fist, worthy of Kidd, and sorted out the offense at the critical moment.

As long as the ball catches, you will definitely be able to score!

After this goal is scored, the Mavericks will definitely be in high spirits. After all, this is an empty connection that splits Huashan.

Just as Kidd had stepped back, he saw a dark shadow quickly approaching Chandler.

"Who!?" Kidd said to himself in his heart, Gasol Jr. has been left behind by Chandler.

When I looked closely, everyone gasped, it was Link!

"Crazy!?" Chandler yelled in the air, he didn't think a small forward with great athleticism could stop him from dunking!

Link threw his arms high as he could, then gritted his teeth in the confrontation! The moment he was bumped by Chandler, Link felt as if he had two ribs. But he still straightened his back and tried to maintain his center of gravity.

There's no way, if this breath is loosened, but you will be detained by the other party!

"Boom!" In the case of entanglement with Link, Chandler smashed the ball into the basket hard!

But......

"The ball didn't go in, Tyson. Chandler's basketball is dunked by the interference of the confrontation with Link! Link fell out and the basketball was lost to Tony. Allen grabbed it, and he immediately gave the ball to Conley! Conley, a quick run, he turned past Terry, who came to intercept, and went straight to the layup! Pretty! Pretty! It's just amazing! The Grizzlies extended the margin to 5 points! This is their biggest lead in this game! ”

Mike. Brin's voice pushed the atmosphere of the game to a climax, and at this time in Memphis, I don't know how many fans cheered in front of the TV.

The Dallas thought their offense was solid, but the Grizzlies were always able to jump up completely and tell them, "We've got breathing, we're not done yet!" ”

Link got up from the ground and used his body to fight Chandler, which was indeed a bit difficult.

He rubbed his thumpy chest, then continued to run to the three-point line, opening his arms, lowering his center of gravity, and staring his eyes straight ahead.

Again!

Mike. Brin stood up and applauded Link, embarrassed, miserable, and ugly, but the Memphis Grizzlies dragged the Mavericks into the quagmire.

Can the Mavericks solve the Grizzlies in four games? Thinking of the media reports before the game, Mike. Brin wanted to laugh.

Link, to hell with those media!

At this moment, Brin found that he seemed to have become a fan of Link.
