136: It's not pretended, it's a showdown
Mike. Conley's goal left the Grizzlies trailing by just five points, and sometimes the success or failure of one or two offenses could turn into a turning point in the game.
If Conley didn't score just now and the Knicks scored another three-pointer, the difference between the two teams would likely be widened to double digits. It's a hurdle for the margin to be stretched to double digits, but not all teams can get through it.
However, Conley's goal prevented that from happening, and that shot was crucial for the Grizzlies.
Hollins' anger did not demoralize Conley, but made him more willing to take the initiative to take responsibility. The mark of a truly mature person is that every moment is thinking about solving problems, not creating them.
"Hold on to the defense, we'll defend one!"
After retreating back to his own half, Conley, who was standing at the front, shouted again. Although it was just a simple shout, it made Link feel energized.
Sometimes, it is necessary for someone to stand up and stabilize the morale of the military. Link now knows what leadership temperament is.
Tony. Just after half-time, Douglas was met by Mike. Conley's tightly sealed plug. Douglas's physique is indeed very perverted among point guards, but this sophomore point guard is very mediocre in all aspects except for being strong. Anyway, Link has never been impressed with this guy, and it is estimated that he will not mix well in the NBA in the future.
Seeing that Douglas was entangled, Anthony immediately went out to answer it. But this time, Link was also very strict with Anthony.
To be honest, being abused so badly by Anthony today, Link's self-confidence has really been affected. Anthony not only attacked aggressively today, but also didn't give Link a good meal on the defensive end. Once this guy's attitude is corrected, he is indeed not a half-hung star who can be defeated with just two clicks.
But seeing Conley trying so hard to turn the tide, Link swept away all the negativity. It doesn't matter how the fuck played before, in short, you must keep the determination to win!
"Link wrapped Anthony so tightly that he couldn't even catch the ball! Douglas was forced to stop, and he wasn't a point guard with a particularly strong passing ability. There is no way, Amare. Studemire gave Douglass a cover, and that was the only way to go. ”
"!" Seeing that he couldn't catch the ball for a long time, Anthony cursed. He thought he had completely destroyed that No. 0 with goals and trash talk today, but he didn't expect this guy to be so strong!
Hubby on the commentary platform. Brown smiled with relief when he saw the Grizzlies' defense. Grinding and strangulation are staged again! These guys will never allow themselves to fall halfway!
The Knicks' offense continues, and Tony. Douglas finally gave the ball to Stoudemire, who cut in immediately after the screen. But to be honest, the ball wasn't that comfortable. Whether it is the timing of the pass or the position of the pass, it makes Stoudemire feel a little awkward.
If it weren't for Billups' injury, the Knicks wouldn't have used Tony. Douglas, a rookie point guard, starts. I have to say that this guy is indeed almost hot.
I believe that now, "Little Overlord" must miss the guard who passed him the ball in Phoenix City. Leaving him, Stoudemire realized that not every attack can be so easy.
Douglas passed the ball a little low, and Stoudemire had to bend down to pick it up. Letting the big man bend over to catch the ball is a very fatal mistake. By the time Stoudemire straightened his back again, Zach. Randolph had already raised his arms in front of him.
Want to directly shutch this 120-kilogram fat man? Unrealistic! Stoudemire tries to pass it, but finds that Link is still pestering Anthony. There was no way, "Little Overlord" could only go to the basket against Randolph's block. But it's a pity that he didn't score the ball when he lost his center of gravity!
"Strong defense, that's the Memphis Grizzlies' style!" Hubi. Brown waved his arm, and the Grizzlies immediately began to fight back!
Gasol Jr. won the rebound and handed the ball to Conley, who did not rush to play fast, but gestured while waiting for his teammates to run up.
He knows how important this offense is to the Grizzlies, and if he can score, the margin will be reduced to 2 to 3 points!
"Come on, challenge me! Don't hide, how long can you hide!? ”
As always, Anthony spews trash talk in Link's ear. He wanted to provoke Link and use it to disrupt the Grizzlies' established tactics. Young people tend to have tempers and are desperate to prove themselves.
To be honest, Link was a little annoyed, Anthony's mouth was too broken. But as soon as he thought of the calm Conley, Link warned himself more than once that he must be rational!
Conley dribbled beyond the three-point line and waved at Link. Link immediately ran over to cover him, between the No. 1 and No. 3 positions, which is a common trick for the Grizzlies.
Anthony was a little nervous to be honest, as Conley and Link always had a high scoring rate after each screen. The last time the Grizzlies killed the Spurs, the three-pointer came from Conley and Link's pick-and-roll combination.
But there is one thing, every time Conley and Link block and dismantle, the ball will definitely be hit in Link's hands! Whether Link throws or passes by himself in the end, the ball will go through Link's hand anyway!
Anthony is ready to steal!
Link runs to Conley's side and sets up cover. Conley then kicked in, and he was still very fast.
Tony. Douglas squeezed in, and Link felt the impact of the heavy point guard. As a point guard, Douglas is almost as heavy as Link. Link pouted, he still had to gain weight this summer.
Even so, Douglas was still solidly blocked by Link. Anthony didn't chase Conley, he was still waiting for Conley to pass back to Link.
In this way, the Knicks' defense took care of one or the other. Conley made an easy jump shot, and this guy's mid-range finishing rate is not low at all.
"Brush!"
After hearing the sound of the Nets tumbling, Anthony looked back in shock, and Conley shot directly!? What about the passes!?
"Pretty, Mike. Conley scored four points in a row. At the timeout, we all saw that Coach Hollins seemed very unhappy with Conley. But I think right now, Hollins must be applauding Conley off the court! Anthony's defensive judgment was wrong again, and he should have blocked Conley just now. ”
It stands to reason that Anthony should have switched to Conley just now. But Conley's presence is too low, seeing that guy break through, the Knicks players' first reaction was to think who he would pass the ball to, but they didn't expect this guy to play so hard!
Conley has always been a "deputy" in people's minds, and in high school and college, he was Oden's younger brother. During his time as a grizzly bear, he was the younger brother of Guy and the Black and White Bears.
Dominating the game yourself? This is not Conley's style, how can a "deputy" dominate the game.
But this "deputy" has left little advantage for the Knicks.
"Day, one trouble is ended, and another trouble comes!" Anthony pouted unwillingly, where did the Memphis Grizzly Bear get so many nasty people.
In the following game, the two sides attacked and defended each other. The Knicks have always been sitting on Anthony and Studemire, two scoring forwards, and the offense is basically impossible to stagnate.
On the Grizzlies side, under the leadership of Conley, the offense is getting better and better. Conley always bravely charged into battle and then immediately led the defense. In short, since being scolded by Hollins, Conley has completely rammed.
Conley's performance brought a line from a movie to Link in his head, "I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but in exchange for estrangement." Okay, I don't pretend, I'm having a showdown. ”
After the "showdown", Conley pushed the Knicks into a corner. With more than 1 minute left in the game, Conley, who only scored 12 points before being scolded, has now scored 20 points!
After Conley scored, Anthony, who was angry, immediately responded. He took a step from beyond the three-point line to pick up Toney. Douglas's pass, then a straight jumper!
"Super long-range jumper! Cameron. Anthony is full of confidence today! ”
Hubi. As soon as Brown finished speaking, the basketball went hollow into the net. Anthony gestured three fingers to his temple, his trademark celebratory move! It is said that this is actually a black. Helper gestures.
"31 points, Cameron. Anthony scored the 31st point of the game! This goal also allowed the Knicks to regain a 2-point lead over the Grizzlies! With a minute left in the game, Coach Hollins called a timeout. Anthony was unstoppable today, and he ruined the Grizzlies' hopes time and time again! ”
Seeing Anthony score again, Link wearily braced his hands on his knees. He has only scored 14 points so far today, and only 2 points in the fourth quarter. But Anthony has already scored 31 points. To be honest, it's really shocking to see Anthony doing whatever he wants on his head.
"Let's go Link, it's not over yet, let's hear what Hollins has to say. We're paying off, aren't we? ”
At this point, Conley walked up and patted Link on the back, "Stay confident and focused, I've got their defensive attention." The next few key rounds, full of opportunities! ”
Link nodded, straightening his back again. The grinding and strangulation are not over yet, as long as there is still time, whether it is Link or the Grizzlies, there is still a chance to turn the tables!
