523: He is God
With 18 seconds left in the first quarter, Smith held the ball from beyond the three-point line to face a grim Toney. Alan.
As the No. 1 player in the Sixth Man of the Year prediction rankings this season, the attacking power of . Career average per game! You know, the Nuggets period. Smith, the highest-scoring season, is no more
So even Tony. Allen is one of the league's best perimeter defense specialists, but. and fearless. He dribbled two steps beyond the three-point line and suddenly accelerated!
Tony. Aaron naturally won't make it easy. broke through, and he immediately posted it to block the opponent's breakthrough route. Tony. Allen's reaction was almost light-fast, and no one knew how he did it, but he was able to stifle the opponent's scoring chances in the first place.
However, Smith was stunned in Tony. Allen's stop-and-go jump shot when he is close to him!
Don't forget, you're not the kind of attacking player who follows the rules. Most of his shots are unreasonable.
In Tony. Under Allen's near-perfect block, the mid-range shot of .
Mike. When Woodson saw the basketball go into the net, he sat back on the bench and let out a sigh of relief.
It's good to get in, otherwise, the Knicks will lose badly!
That's right, see. After Smith scored, Mike. Woodson's first reaction was not joy, but joy!
Because. After the goal, the Knicks are still 5 points behind the Grizzlies! 30 to 25, the Grizzlies scored 30 points in a single quarter, disgraced the Knicks, who made a living from offense. This goal at the last moment can be regarded as bringing back a little face for the Knicks.
Thinking of this, Woodson couldn't help but set his sights on the Grizzlies bench. At this time, Link was resting and looked very calm.
But Woodson knew that guy had a fire on his hand today!
In the first quarter of the game, Link scored 15 points in a single quarter! Hit 4 of 4 three-pointers! After hitting three consecutive three-pointers midway through the first quarter, Link scored another one before going off the floor.
In addition to the three points, Link also sent many wonderful passes today and had 4 assists in a single quarter! You could say that it was Link who propped up the Grizzlies' offense in the first quarter!
So even if Woodson sent Anthony and . 's two-gun lineup, none of which can compete with the Grizzlies.
Throughout the first quarter, the Knicks were alive under Link's terrifying firepower. So, when. When he threw in what should have been an exciting shot, the Knicks' bench was surprisingly calm.
In the last 2.3 seconds of the first quarter, Vasquith missed a long-range three-pointer, and the game ended.
Woodson immediately called everyone off the court, and barely survived the first quarter, but Woodson has no idea what he will experience in the second quarter.
"Keeping the pressure on Link in the second quarter, his hot touch will always break. Perhaps, after a few minutes of rest, his touch has already been broken! You've seen him in the first half, and you can't let him get back to that touch! ”
Woodson nervously shouted the words Anthony and. Smith's performance in the first quarter of the game was actually pretty good. They're efficient and create damage to the Grizzlies' interior.
But that's exactly where Woodson worries, Anthony and. Smith is playing so well, the Knicks are still behind.
This does not bode well.
On the Grizzlies' side, the players were also actively preparing for the second half. Before the game, Link stood up and asked everyone to put their shoulders on their shoulders in a circle.
"We've lost two in a row, guys. One more loss is unbearable. So today, we have only one goal, to get rid of them! 1, 2, 3, Grizzly Bear! ”
"Grizzly bear!"
With a roaring shout, the Grizzlies players re-entered the court. In terms of momentum, the Knicks, who are fighting at home, are a little weaker.
The Knicks' second-quarter starters were no longer the same as they were at the beginning, with Smith taking the place of veteran rookie Prigioni.
And the Grizzlies also continue to play a small lineup, Nick. Young started in place of Randolph.
If the Knicks want to attack, then attack it!
In the second quarter, the Knicks took the lead in attacking, thanks to the fact that just now. Incredible goal, now the difference between the two sides is only 5 points. There is no doubt that this offense is a good opportunity for the Knicks to close the score.
It would be great if the difference could be narrowed to two points in one go.
Anthony wasn't greedy this time, and Link was surprised to find that this guy was actually working for. Smith makes a wedding dress.
Anthony pulled to the bottom right corner for the purpose of . Smith pulls out the space, free from the distractions of Link and the others.
In the face of Iguodala's single defense, he called a pick-and-roll. After blocking and dismantling, taking advantage of the environment where Iguodala was not sealed, he made a decisive jump shot!
Another opportunity that is not a chance, but a good one for the present. Smith, as long as there is a trace of space, he dares to vote!
The basketball goes over Iguodala's fingers and the arc is very flat! But it was with this weird arc that the basketball finally hit the board into the frame!
Seeing the basketball hit, Link really didn't have a temper at all. The three-point head-on board has to be scored, and there is really no way.
Smith started, continued the first quarter of the game after the final difficult shot, the second quarter came up with a three-pointer! The Knicks are close to the score, and the Grizzlies don't think they're stable! ”
Smith's three-pointer rejuvenated Madison Square Garden, and in the Knicks' most desperate moments, the Super Sixth Man stepped up.
But soon, everyone became nervous again. Because the Grim Reaper, who was holding a scythe, approached the Knicks halfcourt.
Mike. Woodson was lucky, and Link went off the break in the ninth minute of the first quarter. Counting the inter-holiday time, it has also been a long time off.
With so long out of the game, Link struggled to keep his hot touch. Woodson believes Link can't play the same way he was in the first quarter.
Four three-pointers in a single quarter is perverted enough, and Link couldn't have done better.
But Link didn't believe in this evil, he really wanted to try it, and his hand felt that there was no continuation at the end.
So in the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked first, and Link was very active in asking for the ball.
Anthony's nerves tensed, and Link's terrible performance in the first quarter was still imprinted in his mind.
After Link received the basketball, Anthony immediately got close to him and did not hesitate at all.
Link could only lower his center of gravity and use his head against Anthony's chest to forcibly keep his distance from it.
Just as Anthony was still clinging to Link, Link suddenly moved a step to the left.
Anthony immediately followed, but in the next second, there was a "bang" and Iguodalaza collided solidly.
Pick-and-roll!
Link dodged Anthony through a pick-and-roll and then immediately jumped for a jumper. Another quick shot outside the three-point line after borrowing a pick-and-roll, the Grizzlies and Knicks seem to be addicted to three-point points.
But this time, Smith switched quickly, and he almost immediately raised his hand to block Link's shot.
Link felt like he still had a good hand, but because he was distracted, he seemed to be shooting a little earlier.
Sure enough, the basketball finally slammed to the front of the basket, and Link hit the iron for the first time after hitting 4 three-pointers in a row!
"Great!" Mike. Woodson screamed excitedly, and Link's hand really cooled! Now, the Knicks will launch a Jedi counterattack!
However, it didn't take long for the Knicks' coaches and players to rejoice before Iguodala grabbed the long rebound.
Smith is not a very protective player for rebounding, and when Iguodala grabbed the rebound, Smith was still thinking about how to fight back.
"Hey, the Knicks lost too many frontcourt rebounds today!" The local commentators slapped the table in annoyance, and finally prevented the opponent's offense, but they were robbed of the offensive rebound, which was the most demoralizing.
Iguodala didn't hesitate to take the offensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Link again!
At this time, Link had already run to the right horn position. He was originally inside the three-point line, but after thinking about it, he took the initiative to take a step back.
Link has to shoot three more points!
This time, Link was undisturbed, and his hand was still hot. Everyone held their breath and waited for the final result.
However, the results disappointed New Yorkers. Link's missed three-point shot just now was just an accident, because of his second attempt, he managed to score!
Three points to the ground, the difference changed back to 5 points. At the same time, this is already Link's fifth three-pointer of the game!
"This ......" Woodson was speechless, his wish lasted less than 20 seconds before Link ruthlessly shattered.
Feeling cold to your hands because you've rested for a few minutes? Inexistent!
I thought this was the end of Link's crazy performance, but as everyone knows, this is the beginning of Link's even more crazy performance.
After this three-pointer, Link was out of control, and the Knicks fell into complete despair.
At 10 minutes and 34 seconds in the second quarter, Link suddenly made a three-point shot while marching, which caught Anthony off guard, hit a three-point shot, and made the sixth three-point shot in a single game!
A minute later, at 9:38 of the second quarter, Conley pushed a fast break and hit the ground after half-court to send the ball to Link, who was ambushed in the bottom right corner.
Faced with this kind of open shot, Link didn't hesitate. He raised the knife in his hand, and hit the three points again!
The 7th three-pointer in a single game!
You know, before the first half is over, Link has already shot 7 three-pointers. It is only 3 short of Anthony's record for the highest number of three-pointers in a single game!
After that, Link stopped for two minutes without scoring. But the Grizzlies' offense hasn't stopped, and Link's offensive role is more than just scoring goals.
Two minutes later, at 7:22 of the second quarter, Iguodala missed a three-point shot, and Link made a successful dash to the board and won an offensive rebound.
After winning the basket, Link did not attack the frame directly under the basket, but passed the ball to Conley outside the three-point line, and then followed back to the basket!
With Gasol's pick-and-roll, Link's movement was very successful. By the time he ran beyond the three-point line, Anthony was a full body away from Link.
Catch the ball and shoot! Link didn't scruple too much. At this time, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot, and if you can, you must resolutely vote.
And just like that, Link's 8th three-pointer in a single game was born!
"Oh God! How is this possible!? The New York commentator covered his head, unbelievable!
"Of course it's possible, because it's God who wears the number 0 jersey today!" And his partner responded.
Anthony was completely shocked that he and. Tried my best. But in the face of 8 three-pointers, any effort is in vain!
It's been played like this, but Link's show continues!
Three minutes later, Link went head-to-head in the bottom corner to defend his own. This time, Link made a couple of tentative moves and then straight up to shoot, and he's now at the point where he's doing whatever he wants.
His heart is cold, and when defending Link, he has only one emotion - fear!
Fear can breed strength for Link, and his ninth three-pointer of the half completely destroyed the Knicks' confidence.
Before the start of the second quarter, Mike. Woodson doesn't think Link could have been more magical.
But now, as it turns out, he couldn't have been more wrong!
In the end, Link made 10 three-pointers in the half! Broke half a month ago by Delon. Williams set a league record of 9 three-pointers in the half!
By the time Link hit his 10th three-pointer, his halftime score had reached 35! Compare. More with Anthony!
Looking at the dead Madison Square Garden, Link wearing a "villain jersey" was very proud.
He found that he seemed to like playing the role of "Grim Reaper".
