883: God Doesn't Lie (part 2 of 5)

Grabbing boards, breaking through, and slamming dunks.

Link's violent dunk after the start of overtime made the atmosphere of the scene instantly different.

At first, there was joy in the ATT center, and everyone waited five minutes to celebrate the victory.

But now, though not despairing, everyone is in doubt and nervous.

It's true, just one goal, just two points, nothing remarkable.

However, Link's form in overtime was very different from what people expected.

In everyone's expectation, the tired Link should be completely restrained by Leonard, and then lose the game with the sound of iron.

Unexpectedly, Link actually made the domineering spirit of the return of the king as soon as he came up.

The fans were stunned for about a second or two before they cheered for the Spurs again.

It's just a dunk, and Link can't do it so easily every time.

The fans were soon filled with confidence again, but on the pitch, something was already changing.

Danny. Green couldn't help but swallow when he saw Link slam the floor hard.

He doesn't want to be targeted by Link, and the people who have always been targeted by Link on the defensive end have nothing to do.

Green found himself getting more and more nervous, and now that he didn't have the confidence to connect the ball, let alone shooting!

He was afraid that if he was stealed by Link, it would be a major mistake!

But Green obviously still underestimated Link, because after he actually started the duel with Link, he realized that he couldn't get to the point of holding the ball at all, because he couldn't even receive the ball!

Green ran backwards and cut to the basket in an attempt to run through the crowded box to the bottom corner of the other side to get rid of the defender.

When Green was in position in the bottom right corner and turned to receive the ball, he found that Link had raised his arms high to seal all the passing routes.

The crowd in the penalty area didn't seem to be in the way of Link.

Green immediately changed his plans and borrowed Duncan's off-ball cover to make a gap.

But when he ran to the tactically predetermined spot, he looked back and saw that Link was still covering the passing route!

Green suddenly had a feeling of being unloved, and Link's defense always gave no hope.

Green's magical shot didn't get a chance, so Parker had to pass the ball to Duncan to finish the offense in the low post.

Duncan catches the ball, rolls over, jumps, and the whole action is done in one go.

But basketball finally hit the front of the basket!

Duncan was very inefficient from the second half today. Unexpectedly, in overtime, Duncan still did not find his form.

But in Link's view, Duncan is not only out of shape on offense this time, but also not trying to get back into shape for the whole game.

The basketball knocks to the front of the basketball, indicating that the shooter's strength is too small.

NBA-level players have a hard time hitting the front of the basket even if they hit the iron.

This can only say one thing - the old Deng is more tired than the grizzly bears who are fighting back-to-back!

The reduced efficiency in the second half and overtime shows that Duncan struggled in the second half and overtime.

From the second half, Duncan's fitness was already out of order.

Let Duncan play the No. 5 position, the price is that the "Stone Buddha" must bear greater consumption.

The hand-to-hand combat with Gasol and Whiteside is not something that a nearly 40-year-old veteran can bear.

What's more, because of the anxiety of the score today, Popovich also made Duncan play a little more very rarely.

If Duncan had played overtime again, he would have played nearly 40 minutes today!

Under normal circumstances, Duncan would not have played more than 30 minutes.

10 minutes, that's the equivalent of playing one more game.

Popovich gritted his teeth, and he certainly saw it.

I thought that the tired Grizzlies would collapse in overtime, but they didn't know that it was the Spurs themselves who were the first to have physical problems.

Duncan misses shot, Tobias. Harris desperately protected the rebound.

The Spurs' offense was a complete failure, which bodes well for the Grizzlies to get a chance to pull the score away!

"Stop him, stop him, don't let him shoot easily!" Popovich yelled impatiently from the sidelines, and a grim-faced Leonard opened up a block for Link near the halfway line.

Link frowned and said nothing.

He slowly approached the three-point line, trying to separate Leonard with one hand and raising the ball with the other.

Link's power has not diminished in the slightest compared to regular time, and Leonard has no advantage at all.

Seeing that he really couldn't get a chance outside the three-point line, Link sank into the middle distance and had his back to the position!

Leonard and Link were very fierce in their moves to grab the position, but Link did not back down and finally managed to catch the basketball with his back.

Leonard immediately became nervous, and Link's back-to-back attack was the most threatening!

No, the face-frame offense is also very threatening, and the off-ball shot is also very deadly...... Link is full of game-killing magic weapons!

Link wasn't going to roll over for a jumper, because his shooting touch today was really caught in a strange circle.

Not to mention Link, even a sharpshooter like Curry occasionally can't shoot a few games a season.

Link turned his back and broke through directly the moment he received the ball!

Leonard didn't expect Link to break through so decisively, he roughly blocked it, trying to isolate Link outside the box.

But Link was very competitive, instead of stopping or changing direction, he forced Leonard to go inside!

Such a stubborn Link, Leonard is the first time to see him.

In the end, Link relied on his super confrontation ability to carry it to the basket. Again, he had to face the Spurs' two "facial paralysis" at the same time.

In the air, Leonard grabbed Link's arm, and Duncan blocked Link's shot.

But Link was stunned to force the ball onto the board under such extreme circumstances, so that the basketball was accurately refracted into the net!

At the moment of the goal, the referee could not sit idly by and ignore such an obvious foul.

A piercing whistle pierced the court, and Link had a chance to hit a three-pointer!

"Come on!" After the goal, Link pounded his chest and yelled, and in an instant, he was removed from the fluttering Grant. Hill turned into a rough LeBron. James.

But what is scary is that Link is able to switch between these two great small forwards......

He has two different styles of play at the same time!

Leonard pouted, he had just fouled so roughly, in effect to prevent Link from scoring directly.

Unexpectedly, Link could still hit the target in that situation......

Link's paranoid plan to storm the basket worked, and if the shot didn't work, then he would dig through the opposing defense.

Standing at the free throw line, Link took a few deep breaths and then landed a free throw under the weak interference of the Spurs fans.

Today, although Link's shooting was inaccurate in the athletic battle, his free throws remained at a consistent level.

scored 5 points in a row, Link forced the Spurs to retreat again and again!

In a subsequent attack, Danny. Green finally made his first shot in overtime.

In the second half just past, every time there was such a crisis moment, Green would use a three-pointer to bring the Spurs back to life immediately.

But under Link's tight seal, Green didn't continue his magic.

Green was like Link's prey at this point, and once he was targeted by a hungry wolf, it was difficult to shake him off.

Moreover, Link is never soft on the guy named Green.

Link almost blocked the basketball, Danny. Green had to force up the arc of his shot. If you don't, you won't even have a chance to try your luck.

It's a pity that this luck is not something that anyone can encounter. Green's shot hit the side edge of the basket, and the "elixir" instantly turned into "Tielin".

"The Spurs missed three consecutive offenses, and Greg should call the game off and make some adjustments!" The on-site commentary was in a hurry, and if it was said that when Link dunked at the beginning, they could comfort themselves that there was no more than a 2-point difference.

But now, the sense of crisis has undoubtedly rushed to the top of the head.

Leonard is extremely nervous right now, and he knows that if Link is allowed to score again, the situation will be very dangerous.

Although he expected that such a thing might happen, he didn't know what to do after Link's outburst.

Just then, Link received a pass from Conley and suddenly made a sharp stop one step away from the three-point line, as if to shoot!

Leonard has seen the power of Link's ultra-long-distance three-pointers, and once Link is on offense, he can achieve a truly unlimited range!

Leonard then immediately blocked it, and never gave Link any chance to shoot easily!

While Link is determined to go to the basket, he's still a threat from beyond the three-point line. After all, his previous performances were there.

This advantage even LeBron. James doesn't have that either.

Link was extremely happy when he saw Leonard jumping up and blocking without reservation.

The Spurs' defense is finished again!

"Leonard jumped in time, he ...... Wait, Link broke through, and he passed past Leonard after he jumped! That's not a shot, it's a realistic feint! Link was very fast, and after shaking off Leonard, he hit the restricted area like a missile. Duncan rushed back to block it as soon as possible. ”

Under Duncan's rough block, Link fell off the line. Old Deng Tou also fought hard today, and he was not soft on fouls.

The basketball that was thrown by Link bounced over the basket, twice.

In the end, he still fell into the net!

"The ball is in, another 2+1! If Link hits a free throw, the Spurs will be eight points behind! What happened? Can anyone tell me what really happened to Link!? ”

Seeing Link score again, the on-site commentator was flustered and incoherent.

Bill behind the TV. Simmons also opened his mouth wide in shock, Link, bastard, just come on!

At this point, Simmons remembered Jordan's praise for Link at noon.

The god of basketball, if you are sincere, don't deceive me......
