Randolph's jump-and-shoot double-handed dunk finally gave the Grizzlies' lifeless offense some improvement. This dull game finally added a touch of passion.

Link's unscrupulous passing has challenged the Spurs' elaborate defense, and he's not here to be a foil for Vicky after preparing for this game for so long.

8-12, the margin began to narrow. And Randolph's goal just now has undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Grizzlies. Now that the Spurs want to break down the Grizzlies' defense, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

The Spurs' offense was as unpretentious as ever, covering, running, and containing. Veckey doesn't like bells and whistles, professional basketball, and wants to win rather than look good. Winning in the most direct and effective way is what Vicky believes in.

However, the Grizzlies' tight defense did put the Spurs in a quagmire. They were very patient and passed the ball a lot but there were no chances. Don't underestimate the role of morale, which cannot be quantified, in the game of basketball.

Sometimes, a breath of air is enough to turn a team upside down.

In the end, the Spurs only had one individual attack from Ginobili before the 24-second offensive time ran out. Ginobili is averaging 174 points per game this season, the second-highest of his career. This is mainly because Ginobili is not the sixth man this year, but the truth. Therefore, the number of shots has also increased, second only to Parker.

Unfortunately, Tony Allen doesn't always let the Argentine put on a show. Ginobili's pull-up jumper ended up hitting the iron in Tony Allen's interference, and the Grizzlies got a chance to continue to close the gap!

"It's definitely a veritable defensive battle and the winning game for both teams today is to use defense to contain each other! Halfway through the first quarter, the Grizzlies have yet to score in double figures, and the Spurs aren't scoring high. ”

As Steve Kerr spoke, the Grizzlies had already made it halftime. Richard Jefferson was on the lookout, and he was really impressed by the assist that was just the undrafted.

Vicky has said more than once that the undrafted pick is very smart and has an extremely high basketball IQ. But if you don't face Link personally, you never know how high that rating is.

Link is still watching the Spurs' defense this time, and their positioning is very chicken, and the interior players are always able to help defend in the first place. But after Randolph's violent dunk just now, do the Spurs still dare to resolutely help defend?

It's a real deal to put your opponent in a dilemma.

Conley made a few gestures from beyond the three-point line, and the others immediately started running in understanding. Instead of continuing to fight Duncan in the low post, Randolph went to the mid-range elbow area and received the basketball.

"Randolph mentioned the middle distance, is he trying to hit Duncan with a breakthrough?"

No, as soon as Randolph received the ball in the middle distance, Link immediately cut to the low post and asked for the ball with his back!

Randolph didn't hesitate and gently hoisted the ball into the penalty area, and Link singled Richard Jefferson with his back!

"It's a low-post offense that opens up space on the inside and Duncan doesn't know who he's supposed to defend, and if he wraps up Link, then Randolph's mid-range will definitely punish the Spurs. But if left unchecked, Richard doesn't know if he can withstand Link's onslaught! ”

Cole knew that Duncan was in a dilemma. Indeed, that taciturn No. 21 is one of the greatest players in NBA history. But even the greatest players have moments when they are undecided.

Link can now play Richard Jefferson in the low post with peace of mind, and Jefferson is holding Link's waist with one hand to prevent him from making a move. But Link didn't care, his low-post singles didn't rely on brute force.

Link began to dribble with his back to the ball, and Richard Jefferson's heart was beating like a basketball. Seeing that the distance was almost over, Link suddenly shook his shoulders to the right!

Richard Jefferson immediately changed his focus, and although Richard Jefferson was not much of a low-post defensive expert, experience prompted him to react the fastest. Experience and reach, these are the two things Richard Jefferson relies on the most on the defensive end right now.

It's just a pity that neither of these things can pose a threat to Link.

Link's shoulder shake to the right just now was just a feint, and after feeling Richard Jefferson shake behind him, Link immediately turned back to the left, and then turned over and jumped!

Turnaround jumpers, Link has also used a lot before. After all, Grant Hill's offensive footwork during this period was already very superb.

But this time, Link deliberately sat in the low post to play, which still surprised people a little. The most important thing is that guy's actions are so similar to Kobe

Although there is still a gap compared to Kobe, it already has some charm. Link learns things quickly because Grant Hill has a good foundation in itself. At the beginning, James, McGee and others went to learn the steps of the big dream, but they couldn't learn it well, because their own low-level footsteps had a poor foundation.

It's hard to go from 0 to 1, but from 1 to 2 and from 2 to very quickly.

Richard Jefferson was completely teased by Link and could only watch the basketball leap into the net.

11-12, the Grizzlies have scored back-to-back points since Lionel Hollins just took a timeout. On top of that, both of these scores had something to do with Link.

Looking at the undrafted pick who actually played Kobe-style back-to-back offense, Vicky frowned. Such an excellent guy, why didn't even the Spurs have any news in the first place.

Therefore, no matter how developed the NBA's scouting network is, there will always be surprises.

Link revitalized the Grizzlies' offense, but the Spurs won't be so easy to beat. After that, the two sides fought back and forth. This one has a back and forth, referring to defense.

Both teams have defended to the extreme, and no matter how loud Ginobili is, he can't completely get rid of Tony Allen, who is desperate to defend him. And on Link's side, the Spurs' defense can't fail again and again. On several occasions, he was discouraged by the back-and-forth strikes of Duncan and Richard Jefferson.

Overall, though, Link has caused the Spurs far more trouble than Vicky expected. Vicky already valued Link, but Link still put in a good performance.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 21-20, and the Grizzlies led the Spurs by one point. Link's 6 points and 2 assists in a single quarter was the Grizzlies' most efficient offense. On the Spurs' side, Ginobili scored nine points on 4-of-9 shooting, but the others, including Duncan and Parker, struggled offensively.

The game was watched by neutral fans who were drowsy, with endless iron striking and slow-paced offense and defense, making the game unwatchable.

But it was a great thing for the fans of both teams, and for them, the defense was also a pleasure.

Vicky looked at the big screen on the spot, the first in the West played the eighth in the West, and after 12 minutes, he was still 1 point behind To be honest, Vicky was a little dissatisfied with the team's performance.

The Spurs did a good job defensively in the first quarter, and there was nothing wrong with it except for letting Link's kid score 6 points. Now Vicky mainly wants to solve the offensive problem, Duncan is not in great form today, 82 games in the regular season, even a stable player like Duncan, this happens occasionally.

The same thing happened to Parker, and of course it had something to do with the Grizzlies' tough defense.

Vicky looked at his bench, George Hill, Garinier and others, and they could only suffer the same treatment as Parker. So, the old man set his eyes on the red-haired guy.

"Matt, you played in the second quarter, you know what to do!" Vicky called a big white man, and he was going to increase the point of attack!

"Red Mamba" Matt Bonner looked up and stood up excitedly. He was happy to have work to do!
