1173: Score, score, score again
In the first round of the opening round, there was a fierce physical collision between the two sides.
Durant was directly brought down by Jokic's cover, and you can know how determined and hard Jokic just now.
Kerr stood nervously on the sidelines in the first round of the match, and with that strike, he saw something more dangerous than the determined Jokic.
That's Link's desire to score!
Straight up to a quick three-pointer, that's not Link's style, but he did it today.
This shows that Link is desperate to score today!
A Link with a strong desire to score? Just thinking about it made Cole feel a chill down his spine.
Let's hope that today, Durant can withstand the pressure.
After Link, Curry also quickly hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.
This goal also further increased the shouting in the Oracle Arena.
Curry spat out his braces and looked very relaxed.
After winning the last game once, Curry's confidence multiplied. He has confirmed that he and Durant are capable of competing with Link.
But soon, the relaxed look on Curry's face faded.
Because Link's response was faster than Curry could have imagined!
Curry had just stepped back when he saw that Link had already crossed the halfcourt line with the ball!
Suddenly, the entire defense of the Warriors panicked, and they didn't expect Link to attack so fiercely today.
Durant opened his arms to start a duel with Link again, and Link suddenly paused, and then changed direction to the right body.
Link's moves are fluid, but Durant's defense isn't vegetarian either.
He reacted immediately, and took another step to move sideways. This time, there's no cover to stop him!
However, Link had just finished changing direction when he quickly turned to the right!
Durant's eyes widened, and Link seemed to be stepping on graceful dance steps in front of him. By the time he could react, Link had already passed him.
"Beautiful breakaway, change back and turn around, Link's combo shook Durant to the point that he lost his defensive position!"
Mark. Jackson speaks very quickly, as he has to keep up with Link's movements.
Link didn't stop after passing Durant, but pulled out his hand straight from mid-range in a very ethereal way.
He didn't give anyone a chance to make up for it, and the shot was so accurate that it didn't even look like the Nets had touched it much, and the angle into the frame was perfect.
"Link scored back-to-back points, and he played very fast on both occasions. It can be seen that Link's desire to score today is very strong. That's not good news for the Warriors. "Mark. Jackson looked at Link who still looked "dissatisfied" after scoring the goal, and felt afraid.
The Warriors have a big deal today.
It seems that Link will never allow the Grizzlies to have a losing streak.
He officially declared war on everyone in the city!
Link's two beautiful offenses in the opening game also ignited the desire of the rest of the Grizzlies to win.
This time the Warriors attacked, and Green was going to beat Jokic with a faster pace after receiving the basketball from outside the three-point line.
However, Jokic didn't let Green get his wish. When Green made a layup, Jokic pressed up very roughly, and even fanned Green out of the baseline with the ball.
Although the referee eventually gave Jokic a foul, Link still gave Jokic a thumbs up.
At least this one, Jokic told Green - don't try to take advantage of me easily!
"Nikolai. Jokic's defense was very tough, and Green was deflated on him. Today, Jokic seems to have regained his form from the first game of the series! ”
Green struggled to get up, and he had fallen a lot of time.
He really didn't expect that Jokic would forcibly jump and block when he knew that he couldn't catch up with him.
That kid seems to be much more fierce than usual!
After standing at the free throw line, Green hit just one of two free throws.
Jokic's foul was worth it.
Harrell on the sidelines also smiled, and Green didn't make one of two free throws. yes, there's a bunch of just like us!
Green scored a point from the free throw line, which can be regarded as barely extending the score for the Warriors.
But unconsciously, the difference between the two sides has been slowly widening.
After that, Link went on the offensive again. After three consecutive rounds of attacking with the ball after the opening period, even the most sluggish person should now see Link's determination today.
The others are responsible for defending well, Link is responsible for the offense, and that's the Grizzlies' strategy today!
", what a joke, three times in a row!" Durant is gone, he's not an ornament!
He lowered his center of gravity, this time he wouldn't allow himself to be tricked by Link again!
When Link saw Durant pressing up, he was not in a hurry, but slowly dribbled the ball on the spot, and then made a few gestures.
Soon, Jokic and Gasol double cover was raised!
Durant gritted his teeth and double-covered, which was very tricky. And Jokic and Gasol both have the ability to shoot three-pointers, which makes it even more difficult to switch defenses.
With the cover in place, Link slowly approached the three-point line. Now, it's not just Durant who is nervous, but Green and Pachuria, who are ready to help defend at any time, are also nervous.
When Link moved to the right distance, he accelerated sharply and "catapulted" toward Jokic's side.
Durant hurried towards Jokic, and Green was ready to catch the ball.
However, in the next second, Link suddenly stopped and moved towards Gasol's side!
Jokic is just a fake cover, Gasol is real!
This time, Link successfully shook off Durant and Green. As for Pachuria...... That guy wasn't a threat at all.
Pachulia was more prepared to help defend, but was passed by Link.
In the face of absolute speed superiority, there is no need to engage in those bells and whistles.
Pachulia was like a stake, easily thrown away.
Link rushed into the box like a wild horse, jumped up from the free throw line, and completed a tomahawk slam!
Link scored 7 points in a row! And, there's no sign of stopping yet!
The dunk landed, and the Grizzlies' bench was already jubilant. And the stands, which were lively just now, fell into dead silence.
Link walked past Durant and winked at his "best friend."
"If you can stop me, then come!"
Link's words obviously angered Durant, he is the best scorer in the league, but he was actually provoked in scoring!
After that, Durant also turned on the offensive mode.
However, contrary to the previous game, today's impatient Durant was not as efficient on the offensive end.
He wanted to score so much that he pushed a little too hard.
In the first quarter of the game, Link's scoring momentum was finally interrupted after scoring 12 points in a row.
In the entire first quarter, the score ratio of Link and Durant was 12 to 5, and Link won completely!
As soon as the second quarter began, Harrell gave Pachulia a big kick as soon as he came up.
Dinwiddie and Richardson were also very aggressive on the defensive end.
The Grizzlies' four youngsters have been reborn as if they were perfectly adapted to the intensity of the game. Of course, the most important thing is that they are already full of self-confidence.
During Link's time off the court, they didn't allow the Warriors to close the margin as an important substitute.
And when Link returned, he started his scoring show again.
Link's scoring today was very explosive, and all kinds of difficult goals were also endless.
By the end of the third quarter, Link had already broken through the 30 mark.
Moreover, the hit rate has been maintained at more than 50%!
Fortunately, Curry and Thompson each scored a three-pointer in the final minute of the third quarter to barely stabilize the margin in single digits.
The Warriors ended up going into the fourth quarter with a seven-point deficit, and Link's offense almost suffocated them!
At this time, the fans of the entire Oracle Arena fell into deep fear.
In the first three quarters alone, Link has scored 32 points, and this kind of attack is already very terrifying!
But as we all know, Link's scoring ability in the fourth quarter, especially in key moments, is even more exaggerated than in regular time!
Although the Grizzlies lost the last game, Link's two unreasonable three-pointers in the final moments still made people feel uneasy.
What kind of performance will a Link, who is full of scoring desires, perform in the fourth quarter of "Link time"? Do the Warriors still have a chance?
Warriors fans didn't dare to think about it, and Link's appearance after being angry was really terrifying.
