As soon as it opened, the Mavericks were deducted by Link. This year's quasi-MVP gave the Mavericks a dismount as soon as they came up.

Carter, who was on the Mavericks' bench, looked at Link's exaggerated dunk just now, his eyes full of envy.

I think back then, he could fly in the sky as freely as Link. It's a pity that time has cruelly done it to him.

However, Carter didn't panic, Link's dunk just now was really wonderful, but it couldn't scare everyone on the Mavericks.

Carter knows that his teammates are the most experienced and patient players. In the next attack, the Mavericks will immediately tie the score!

Jose. Calderón began to organize the offense, and the Spanish veteran has been playing in the NBA for ten seasons. He's not a superstar, but he knows how to control the pace better than anyone else.

Calderon paused from beyond the three-point line and waited for his teammates to settle down. The Mavericks' offense is a bit complicated, with all kinds of off-ball screens and interspersed runs, which makes Joggle dazzling.

Carlisle is worthy of being a master tactician, and God knows how many brain cells Carlisle was killed by this ordinary attack.

Eventually, Monta. Ellis got rid of Iguodala and got to the three-point line and received a well-timed pass from Calderon for a fleeting shot.

Ellis jumped up to make a shot, attracting everyone's attention on the Grizzlies, but turned his shot into a pass in the air and passed the ball to Nowitzki, who was standing under the basket at this moment!

Ellis's improvement this season has been noticeable, mainly because he's starting to really play the right way.

In the past, Ellis must have shot this kind of ball himself. But now, he's willing to give the ball to teammates with better chances.

Nowitzki turned over and jumped directly after receiving the basketball, and the German's height of 2.13 meters combined with his extremely high shooting point made it difficult for his shot to be blocked.

What's more, he is still facing Randolph, who is a full 7 centimeters shorter than him!

Randolph didn't expect the basketball to come over suddenly, so the reaction was actually a beat slower.

Nowitzki took a comfortable shot, seeing that the basketball had passed over Randolph's palm and was about to crash into the net.

Just as the Germans were about to throw their fists in celebration, behind Randolph, the guy wearing the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey suddenly popped up. His speed was fast, and he jumped faster than Randolph, but he easily surpassed Randolph's height.

Eventually, before basketball could rise to its top, Link's arm was whipped like a whip!

"Smack!" The basketball was slapped with a muffled sound and flew to the audience!

"Link blocked Nowitzki's shot, what kind of move was that? Alternate caps? It's incredible! Link had just completed the block through Randolph with that ball, and he had a spring on the sole, right? ”

O'Neill covered his head exaggeratedly, amusing Hubby at the other commentary stand. Brown couldn't help but laugh.

Nowitzki's face turned pale when he landed! His shots are rarely blocked, which is one of the reasons why he is able to score efficiently.

But just now, Link fanned the basketball out in such an exaggerated way. What terrifying power does that guy's legs hide!?

"Focus, Zach!" After Link finished blocking, he patted Randolph's ass before moving back to Marion.

To him, that kind of cap just now didn't seem unusual.

Everyone on the Mavericks was stunned, and Nowitzki's must-score shot was forcibly fanned by Link. Before they knew it, the fear in their hearts began to spread rapidly.

Although it is still the Mavericks' possession, they still have offensive opportunities. But at this time, the momentum of the Mavericks is not as strong as it was just now.

This time, the Mavericks are led by Monta. Ellis personally attacked. He used a beautiful dribble past Iguodala and was going to hit the basket.

It's just that under the block of the black and white bears, Ellis's pull-up layup finally slipped out.

Monta. Ellis is definitely a tough layup, and when he breaks through the box, he always puts the ball in with all sorts of seemingly unbelievable moves.

But not every one of these difficult layups can successfully score points.

The Mavericks missed two consecutive offenses as the defending champion Grizzlies showed their league-leading defensive prowess. Gasol Jr. may not be the best defensive player of the year this season, but that doesn't change the fact that he's still the league's best defensive interior player.

Off the field Vince. Carter is a little nervous at this point, and the Mavericks are a team that plays offense more than defense. It's not that the Mavericks don't pay attention to defense, but the defensive ability is really limited.

But right now, the Mavericks are playing so the offensive end that they are best at. Defensively, how do you deal with it?

Link quickly gave the answer, and the Mavericks couldn't handle it at all.

Link was not polite this time, and after receiving a pass from outside the three-point line, he immediately called Randolph to come and cover!

Seeing that it was Randolph who took cover, Rick. Carlisle's heart was in his throat. Link, that guy can't be so cruel!

Randolph's cover was quickly in place, and Link didn't play those bells and whistles, and broke through directly to the side that had cover!

Marion couldn't get around the bulky Randolph in the first place, so Nowitzki had to switch gears.

At that moment, Link suddenly came to a sharp stop, and then Randolph hurriedly withdrew. In an instant, Link got a chance to take on Nowitzki alone!

And Nowitzki, who has become extremely sluggish, is undoubtedly the biggest hole in the Mavericks' defense now!

"Link misplaced and singled Dirk, oh my god, Dirk is going to be played crazy!" Kenny. Smith shook his head, Link definitely wanted this dislocation on purpose. In the playoffs, there's nothing to talk about. How to take out the opponent in the most efficient way is the only thing that a professional player needs to consider.

Link is far more cruel than Carlisle thought!

Nowitzki knew that it would be difficult for him to defend against Link, but he didn't give up directly, and still opened his arms and stayed in front of Link seriously.

Link did not play Nowitzki either, but very efficiently used a body forward to change direction, leaving the Germans behind like a stake, which was already the greatest respect that Link could give the Germans.

Nowitzki was moving slowly, leaving him powerless about it. He is in two completely different states now and three years ago.

Link is like a bullet, shooting. Get into the heart of the Mavericks. Bowler was brave enough to block Link's layup.

But Link turned it into a pass in the air and handed the ball to Gasol, who took the ball and jumped on the spot to dunk, allowing the Grizzlies to wreak havoc on the basket for the second consecutive round!

Link didn't celebrate after helping Gasol score, didn't spew trash talk, but beckoned everyone to hurry back! His attitude made Carlisle's heart extremely painful.

Carlisle knows that the Mavericks are certainly inferior to the 74-win Grizzlies in terms of hard power. If they want to win the game, they have to create some "surprises".

For example, a player suddenly bursts into the game. Another example is to seize the opportunity of the other party to take it lightly and attack.

But Link's state made all these "accidents" die in the stomach. He didn't plan to give the Mavericks any chance, not even a single turn!

After that, the fans of Cuban and the Mavericks were extremely painful. Five minutes into the first quarter, the Mavericks only had one athletic goal!

And what about grizzly bears? They continued to output efficiently, as if they wished they could send the game into garbage time in the first quarter.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, everyone in the room couldn't believe their eyes!

Because the first quarter of the game is about to be played, the Mavericks only scored 9 points, not yet in double digits!

"Incredible, what am I looking at? High school competitions? Because only in high school games, it is possible to score a quarter of the game without being able to go to a double! ”

"The Grizzlies' defense was executed quite relentlessly, and the Mavericks didn't get any preferential treatment because of their eighth place in the West!"

"The Grizzlies are almost 20 points ahead in a single quarter! It's a pity Mark. Cuban isn't here, otherwise his expression would have been even more exciting than the game! ”

Carter was standing on the court at this point, out of breath. He looked at the score, and the big "9" was extremely glaring.

A professional team, a professional team that just won the championship a few years ago, couldn't score in double digits in a single quarter! Carter can vouch for the most humiliating game he has ever played in his career!

And what about Link? Sitting on the bench, his expression had softened a lot at this time. Now he can assure that the Grizzlies won't repeat the old path of the Spurs. Hit a tie-break in the first round? Inexistent. If he could, Link would like to go from the first round to the finals without having to tie seven.

Eventually, with the help of German. Harris hit a three-pointer from a long distance, and the Mavericks finally broke the embarrassment of not being able to score a double-double in a single quarter.

However, the 12 points in a single quarter still allowed the Mavericks to tie their record for the lowest score in a single quarter in team history. 31-12, the defending champion made the Mavericks set a record just after the first quarter.

But this record, no one wants it.

Mark. Cuban slapped himself on the head, and he regretted that this time he had completely messed with the wrong person.
