203: An opponent who can't be defeated

Link was very brave enough to make an offensive foul on Dirk, which was definitely a start that no one on the Mavericks expected. ”

"Link was really tough, he was definitely not light when he was knocked off, but he got up almost immediately. That's the Memphis Grizzlies, they can be defeated, but not knocked down! ”

Both commentators applauded Link's actions just now, because it really took courage and wisdom to make a foul. But the Mavericks fans in the stadium didn't think so, and when the Grizzlies held the ball, they cheered wildly.

Link made the Mavericks deflated as soon as he came up, can people be happy?

But the loud boos didn't make Link and the other Grizzlies players nervous, and they enjoyed the sound. After all, now, they are wearing that dark blue "villain robe"!

Mike. Conley met Kidd Sr. outside the three-point line, but Kidd didn't get close to him and still looked calm.

Although there was no defense, Conley still stopped and patiently organized the attack. With the experience of the last game, Conley has no illusions about being able to eat Kidd hard.

Don't look at Kidd as old, but his judgment on the defensive end is really strong, and he basically doesn't eat feints. And Kidd's confrontation ability at this time is too strong, and Conley thinks that the "old monster" should have no problem defending small forwards.

In the last game, the Grizzlies still used an interior offense, especially an offensive strategy dominated by Randolph. But it was clear that Randolph met Dirk and made the trick work.

So today, Hollins changed his offensive strategy, and he planned to attack from the outside!

Conley beckoned Randolph to come over and cover, and used the cover to force Kidd and Dirk to switch guards.

Seeing this, Carlisle smiled playfully. With such a simple pick-and-roll, do you think you can beat the Mavericks?

Even if Kidd and Nowitzki switch defenses, Nowitzki can't keep up with Conley. But Conley bursts in to face Tyson. Chandler is also a dead end.

The inside line of a calf is not like a spur, short and short, old and small.

Tyson. Chandler slowly approached the basket, and as soon as Conley jumped, he pounced like a hunting lion! The forbidden area is his territory, and he does not allow anyone to trample on it!

Conley hit the three-second zone, and then jumped up! Chandler hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and he also jumped up vigorously! How dare a point guard challenge his authority? Look for death!

But in the air, Conley didn't make a layup, but took the ball to his waist and passed it lightly!

"It's not a layup, it's a pass!"

In Mike. Under Brin's exclamation, Link received the basketball at some point.

Since Dirk was dragged outside, Chandler jumped after Conley again, so the Mavericks' basket was unprotected at this point!

After Link received the basketball, he even saved the dribble, took three steps directly, and easily scored with one hand! The Grizzlies, who were thought to die tragically at the American Airlines Center, actually took the lead in the second game with a violent dunk! This took many people by surprise!

"Beautiful coordination, from the first cover to the final pass, the Grizzlies' offense is completely integrated into a whole, not just a low-post single! It's clear that the Grizzlies are making changes. They're not tied up yet, and the Grizzlies want to keep going! ”

Mike. Brin has to admire the ambition of the Grizzlies, and to be honest, there is indeed a gap in strength between the two teams. One Nowitzki alone is enough to make a huge gap between the two teams.

Grizzlies, however, don't care about that. They didn't accept their fate, so they killed from the eighth to the fifth in the west. They didn't accept their fate, so they eliminated the Thunder and Spurs, two favorite teams in the Western Conference finals. Now they still don't accept their fate and ignore these gaps.

They just play desperately, and that's the basketball team in Memphis!

"Damn, my mistake, I thought they were going to make a move, so I didn't pay attention!" Seeing Link's one-handed slam after cutting in, Marion hurriedly admitted his mistake.

This year, the Mavericks' starting three spot was supposed to be All-Star forward CuarΓ³n. Butler. But helplessly, Butler only played 29 games and was reimbursed for the season. As a result, Marion, who just turned 34 a few days ago, had to catch ducks on the shelves.

However, Marion has been doing quite well this season. He is averaging 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, and he is also a defensive guard on the Mavericks' wing with his slender arms. You must know that in the Suns back then, Marion relied on his long arms, but he often played the No. 4 position and defended the opponent's No. 4 position.

Defensively, he is better than Link's previous opponent, Richard. Jefferson is better than one gear.

But just now, Link actually cut in easily and successfully dunked, which made Marion very unhappy. He swore that he would never give that undrafted pick any more chances!

Finally, it's time for the Mavericks to attack. The boos of the Dallas fans immediately turned into cheers again.

This time, Kidd threaded the needle, broke through to the basket, and made a feint to pass the ball to Dirk, which actually sent the ball to Tyson. Chandler's hands. Tyson catches the ball under the basket, and even if Gasol Jr. raises his arms high at his side, it doesn't help.

Chandler jumped on the spot and smashed the dunk with both hands, and returned a dunk from the Grizzlies to tie the score!

After the goal, Chandler slammed his chest, and he thought to himself, now the Grizzlies should know how awesome!

However, just 20 seconds later, Gasol Jr. had a successful revenge.

This time, Link borrowed Gasol Jr.'s block to break through the inside, and Marion and Chandler both chased Link. Link's scoring threat is there, after all, and in the playoffs, he's the Grizzlies' strongest scorer other than Randolph.

Seeing that he was surrounded by two people, Link did not panic, but passed the ball behind him! Gasol Jr. receives the basketball and shoots steadily unmarked!

The Grizzlies took the lead again!

"Hahaha, Gasol Jr. returned a response ball to Chandler, beautiful! The Grizzlies didn't drop the chain today, and they were always able to fight back hard! Let's see, how long exactly can a grizzly bear last! ”

In the following game, the two sides completely entered a tug-of-war. When the Mavericks score a goal, the Grizzlies are always able to respond. Whenever the calves think they can gain an advantage, they are dragged by the grizzly bear.

Before the end of the first quarter, Dirk. Nowitzki hit a three-pointer to finally help the Mavericks widen the margin to three points. So far in the playoffs this season, Nowitzki's three-point shooting rate may not be believed by many people, as high as 60%! It was his first three-point attempt in the Western Conference Finals, and it turned out to be a one-shot shot.

At this point, there were 4.6 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, and Dirk thought to himself, this time the Grizzlies can't overtake again!

As long as they can head into the second quarter with a lead, the Grizzlies' morale won't be so high.

Link gritted his teeth, he bit the whole game, and if he fell behind in the end, it would be too embarrassing! So before the final 4.6 seconds of offense began, Link whispered in Conley's ear, "Give me the ball!" ”

Link is not reconciled, he must lead the Mavericks once!

In the final 4.6 seconds of the game, the Grizzlies had one more chance to attack. Dirk's three points just now finally helped the Mavericks stabilize the situation, and as long as the Mavericks play steadily, they will definitely be fine! ”

"Don't say it too soon, you just said it, the Grizzlies have one more chance to attack." Mike. Brin immediately retorted that his partner, today's Grizzly Bear, will not let the Mavericks get their wish easily!

Every time the calf thought it was getting up, it would be dragged into the mud again.

The Grizzlies serve the baseline ball, and the clock starts to run by seconds. Kidd pressed Conley all over the court to keep him out of the half in 4.6 seconds.

At this moment, Link rudely shook off Marion's hand on him, went outside the three-point line, and made a good move to catch the ball.

Conley didn't think much about it, and now he can only choose to trust the other party!

So, he made a long pass directly in the backfield. The basketball turned into an orange-red afterimage and headed straight for Link!

When Link received the basketball, he was one step away from the three-point line. But he didn't have time to hesitate, catch the ball, turn around, shoot, and make a move in one go!

"Think beautifully, little ghost!" Marion hurriedly blocked it, and Link played 10 minutes in the first quarter, with a 2-minute break in the middle of the game, and scored a total of 4 points. One dunk, one mid-shot. Marion believes that he has done a decent job defensively. Ever since he got serious, Link's scoring has not been easy.

But don't forget, Link also had three assists while scoring four points. It's not that he's being guarded by Marion, it's that the Grizzlies' shots are very evenly balanced and don't focus on one person.

Link was blinded by Marion's long arms, but a second before that, he finished his shot. He's incredibly confident and his shot feels great!

With the pounce being too hard, Marion ends up touching Link's shooter and slams into Link.

Link's center of gravity was unsteady and he leaned back. But a second before he fell, Link saw the basketball hollow jump into the net. After that, it's the referee's whistle! Eventually, it's the electronic beep that comes in.

"Lao Tzu you!" Link yells excitedly and falls to the ground! But instead of frowning, he swung his fist on the ground with a hideous expression, like a steel body that didn't know what pain was!

"The ball is in! And a penalty! Score four! Link hit a four-pointer at the buzzer! Look at Dirk's expression, look at Marion's expression, look at the expressions of all the rest of the Mavericks! They were scared! They would never have imagined that the Grizzlies would not allow them to gain the slightest advantage today! The Grizzly Bears are like a tough guy who can't be beaten to death, and the Maverick throws heavy punches repeatedly, but the grizzly bear with a blue nose and swollen face will always stand up again and say to the Maverick: Go on! ”

Mike. Brin stood up excitedly, he wasn't a Grizzlies fan or a Mavericks fan. But Link's goal just now was really exciting!

Link was pulled up by his teammates, everyone yelled at Link, and the adrenaline of the Grizzlies players was completely stimulated!

Link reached out and made a "shhhh When he passed by Nowitzki, he didn't forget to say, "I told you, we're not tired yet, we can keep going!" ”

Dirk watched Link get to the free throw line and hit the free throw. Link scored a four-pointer, and he reversed his fate and forced a reversal, allowing the Grizzlies to enter the second quarter with a one-point advantage!

For some reason, Dirk got goosebumps. He finally knew how the taciturn No. 21 had lost.

The gritty of the Grizzlies, it's terrible!

"In this league, you have to play until the end of the game. You can be 20 points behind, but you have to fight. You don't know what's going to happen next, all you can do is play hard! ”

Dirk found that his beliefs in Link seemed to be very useful.

Seeing Link score again this time, Dirk didn't find it funny, nor did he laugh, but felt dangerous! This draft loss, he still underestimated. It's not that I underestimated his strength, but that I underestimated his powerful heart!

Before the game, when Nowitzki heard Link say "we still have breath, we're not done yet" from reporters, he couldn't believe that Link had such a strong determination.

But now, Nowitzki has no doubt about it!

His eyes, his demeanor, his actions, his strong heart......

This guy is going to be a star.
