Brazilian centre-forward Split scrambled to his feet and was a little too nervous in the face of Link.

If it were another player who couldn't score 20 points in two consecutive games stood in front of Split, he wouldn't be so nervous. Even if he actually wanted to shoot, Split reached out.

But Link, the Brazilian knows, if he just stretches his hand, he just waits to be shot. Unexpectedly, after the jump, it was deducted.

Popovich is also anxious, now the Spurs are still leading by one point, according to the plan, as long as the Spurs can bite the score in the first half, it will be considered a success. Popovich put the key to the decisive game in the second half. But for some reason, Popovich is a little nervous right now.

Are you kidding? Is it possible that he is an old handsome, and he should be nervous because of a trash talk that failed the draft?

But then Popovich knew he wasn't nervous because of Link's trash talk. It's because after Link spews trash talk, he can put it into practice right away.

The Spurs' offense was still going well, and this time, Parker hit an easy pull-up jump shot from mid-range. The Frenchman, after all, is the youngest in the GDP portfolio, and after Duncan and Ginobili gradually functionalized, Parker has carried the Spurs' offensive banner this year.

This season, Parker is averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game. As long as Popovich gives him a chance, Parker really has the ability to score.

It's just that the style of play is not flashy enough, and it is in a team-type team like the Spurs, so Parker's scoring ability is often overlooked.

Once again, the Spurs have turned the margin back into three points, and the team is as solid as ever.

But before Popovich could rejoice, the anxiety rushed back to his mind.

Because Link scored again!

No sooner had Parker scored than Link returned the favor with Conley on the offensive end.

This time, Conley controlled the ball outside the three-point line, Link pretended to come out to catch the ball, and ran outside the free throw line, but suddenly made a 90-degree turn and cut to the basket!

Leonard reacted quickly and immediately wanted to follow. But as soon as he took a step, he was tightly blocked by Randolph. This time, Randolph covered from the front, and Leonard was completely unable to get out.

In this way, Link made a small circle around the court and cut inside. But the question is, how does Conley, who is on the left side of the court, get the basketball through the crowd and into the hands of Link on the right side of the court?

The answer is simple, pass the high ball!

I saw Conley throw the ball into the air at the right time, and before the Spurs players could react to what was happening, Link rose to the ground, got the basketball with one hand, and dunked it into the frame!

Link finished dunking, and Split still had a confused expression.

When did this guy come here? How did the ball get there?

With a dunk in the air relay, the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to 1 point again! Moreover, it is in such a highly ornamental way!

Link scored back-to-back points, and by the time the second quarter had been played, he had scored four points. Link, it seems, is not afraid at all. He seems confident that he can finish with the San Antonio Spurs!

Popovich still did not change his strategy, but waved his hand, "Go as planned!" ”

He still doesn't believe that an exhausted Link can kill the game on his own! Keep defending one-on-one and keep pushing him to single!

Then the entire second quarter almost turned into Link's personal show!

Breaking through the dunk in the transition offense, Link can play it. He's not just going to convert goals, he's going to have to dunk them to boost morale and intimidate the Spurs.

The stop-and-go jump shot on the move can still be scored. Leonard's long arms don't seem to have much of an impact on Link, and the guy's mid-range shot is as steady as a machine that can't make mistakes.

Back singles, not to mention, this is already Link's signature show. Now when the league mentions the back-to-back singles of outside players, fans will be the first to say Kobe. And the second, with a high probability, will say Link.

Leonard encounters Link's fiercest attack every time he is on the offensive end, and he feels that he defends Link for one round, and the cost is equivalent to defending others for two or three rounds!

At this time, Leonard's mind couldn't help but echo a sentence that Link said to him at the beginning of the second quarter, "Who do you think will be exhausted to death first, me or you?" ”

Stevens also changed Link's rotation strategy, and instead of letting Link play eight or nine minutes at a time, he took Link in the middle of the second quarter and let Link play at the end of the second quarter.

Although the total playing time is the same as the first quarter, this way, Link does not have to fight at a high intensity in a row, which is equivalent to getting a "halftime" time in a single quarter of the game.

For Link and Stevens now, saving a little more stamina is accumulating hope of winning.

As a result, Popovich was in a frenzy throughout the second quarter. He wanted to force Link to play alone, but Link scored 12 points in the second quarter and 20 points in the half! Kill Popovich to the heart!

Also cold was Leonard, who scored 8 points in the first quarter, and Leonard thought it would be Link's highest single-quarter score of the day. Who knows, Link directly cut out 12 points in the second quarter, which made Xiaoka very hurt.

55-56, half-time, San Antonio Spurs only lead by one point!

"It's so tenacious! The Spurs gave Link a chance to play alone, and Link was stunned that he could really score! Again, Link scored 20 points in half a game! He alone accounted for one-third of the team's score! It can be seen that Link is trying to use his strong attack power to force Popovich to change his strategy. I just don't know how Popovich will respond! "Hubby. Brown wouldn't have been surprised to see Link score 20 points in the half.

This guy already has such strength.

After returning to the locker room at halftime, Popovich was still the same, "Continue to execute according to the original plan, give me a resolute one-on-one defense!" ”

In the second half, Link should be tired! He still doesn't believe it, Link can also score 20 points in the second half!

On the other side, in the Grizzlies locker room, Link is trying to rest, seizing every second to rest.

To score 20 points in the second half of Leonard's defense, it's not just technical work, it's also physical work. Thankfully, the Grizzlies still played a few decent pick-and-rolls in the second quarter, such as that beautiful aerial dunk.

But the occasional few pick-and-rolls didn't allow Link to save too much stamina. In the second half, Link knew he was going to be tormented like hell.

After a short break, the intermission was over. Link stood up and changed into a new jersey, the one just now, which was completely soaked with sweat and uncomfortable to wear.

When he was in the players' tunnel, Randolph dragged Link, "Don't be reckless, the Spurs wish you were so excited." If it goes on like this, you won't even be able to lift your leg in the fourth quarter. ”

Instead of answering Randolph, Link asked Randolph a question in turn, "Remember the obnoxious North Shore Gardens in Boston?" ”

"Of course, I'll never forget that hell place in my life." Randolph replied.

"Hehe, the scene of the dome of the North Shore Garden Arena hanging with the honor pennant is really beautiful. If there is no way to get the Spurs, then the dome of the Federal Express Arena is destined to be bare! I know it's just the regular season, but even if it's just the regular season, we've got to make the San Antonios scare us! So, rest assured. Me and the Spurs, they must have fallen first! ”

Randolph stopped and watched as the trotting to number 0 on the field.

You're a guy, have you set your goals so high?

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs launched an onslaught and were bound to close the game in the second half.

They scored twice in a row, but Link hit the iron on his first shot and couldn't keep the score up. As a result, the Spurs took a five-point lead!

In a normal game, a 5-point advantage is nothing. But in this game, the Spurs lead the Grizzlies by 5 points, which is already a gratifying number! After all, the two sides have been-for-tat, and the score has not been able to expand for a long time.

"What am I talking about? That kid isn't Superman, he can't do it! When the Grizzlies came up again, Popovich relaxed a lot.

Link had just hit a shot, which was a sign of his fitness dip. The old man believes that the grizzly bear will collapse from now on.

This time, Link did try a few attacks, but in the end they were all unable to break through Leonard's defense.

The basketball was passed around and eventually fell to Conley. Xiaoli looked up at the attack time, and decided to bite the bullet and go on his own.

In the end, Conley's jumper after covering failed to hit. Duncan is too quick to make up for the defense, and the role of this old monster on the defensive end is not something that the data can reflect. If it weren't for Duncan's timely change of defense and blocking, Conley might have really scored.

Split reflexively prepared to take the rebound, Popovich also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Spurs finally took the initiative!

Well? Wait a minute? How can there be a person behind Split?

Popovich's eyes widened, and the next second, the Brazilian began to suffer.

Split was about to catch the rebound, but suddenly felt hit by something from behind, and suddenly lost his center of gravity in the air!

Finally, a pair of hands appeared on top of Split's head, grabbed the basketball, and then smashed the basketball that came out of the frame into the basket again through him!

"Boom!" The basketball hoop sinks violently, and Split is knocked out of the baseline in embarrassment.

Supplement the deduction every other person!

Everyone thought that the No. 0 was going to work, but at this critical moment, he stepped up again, and the Spurs' hopes of completely pulling away the score were dashed.

Link almost fell when he landed, but Iguodala helped him up from behind. The explosion just now made Link consume too much strength. So when I landed, my legs softened.

"Thank you, Andrew." Link patted Iguodala on the shoulder and took a few slow steps while the Spurs hadn't served the ball yet.

He won't let go of a few seconds of lazy time.

When Popovich saw the goal, he walked back to the bench and sat down.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion. The Spurs were able to pull away again and again, but Link was hindered again and again, which was very demoralizing. Now, even Popovich was made to lose his temper.

"Call the police!" Popovich sat back on the bench and yelled at Budenholzer.

"Call the police?" Budenhozer thought he had misheard.

"Tell them there's a monster in the Federal Express Arena." Popovich buried his face in his hands, Link didn't break down, he was already on the verge of being broken by Link.
