On the second day of the 13-14 playoffs, there were significantly fewer upsets than on the first day.

The Miami Heat, who are second in the East, beat the Bobcats 99-88 and did not repeat the path of the Pacers, who are the first in the East. The Clippers, who are fourth in the West, also took out the Houston Rockets, and Harden and Howard were just as Link expected, and they had to be blind in the playoffs.

The Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, created the biggest point difference of 19 points in the day's game.

Before the game, people talked about how strong the Mavericks were, and they all said that they were by no means as simple as the eighth place in the West on the surface.

But in just one game, Link shut everyone up.

The eighth strongest Western in history? Grizzlies are the strongest in history!

The whole game started with Link's one-handed dunk in the first round, and the Mavericks had no hope at all. Their mobility, offense, defense, and efficiency ...... Almost every one of them is more than a notch worse than the grizzly bear.

The only two technical stats in this game for the Mavericks that outnumbered the Grizzlies were fouls and turnovers.

After this game, it was changed to Cuban silence is golden.

Before the game, he arrogantly thought the Mavericks could cause problems for the 74-win Grizzlies. But after the game, Cuban was dumb.

Even when Link spoke out about Cuban in an interview last night, Cuban did not respond in any way.

Losing by 19 points, what else is there to say? Even if Kuban says the sky now, his words are not convincing.

In addition to Mark. Outside of Cuba, the NBA league must be in great distress right now.

The Grizzlies played the entire series in just one game, which will undoubtedly have an impact on ratings and revenue.

It seems that breeding a super team is not all good for the league.

After the second day of the playoffs, it seemed like everything was back on track. On April 21, the higher-ranked teams all emerged victorious. And in the second game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks, the Dallas still failed to create a miracle.

In Game 2 of the series on April 23, the Mavericks' shooting percentage didn't roll over again. Monta. Ellis scored 21 points and shot 45 percent from the field. Nowitzki was 8-of-10 from the field and scored 20 points on 80 percent shooting.

The Dallas Mavericks are good, but not good enough for the Grizzlies.

In the original history, the Spurs did not have a single player who could stand up and output violently. So when the Mavericks play well offensively, it's hard for the Spurs to bite the score. Coupled with Carlisle's ability to tactically restrain Popovich, the Spurs fought with the Mavericks in the first round to tie-break.

But the Grizzlies don't have that problem, and Link can douse the Mavericks' momentum with consecutive points at any time. In the second quarter of the game, when the Grizzlies trailed the Mavericks by 6 points, Link broke out into a wave of 9-0, which suppressed the Mavericks in one fell swoop.

In the second game, the Mavericks lost by only 6 points. They did show a lot of quality above eighth in the West, but with a 6-point loss and a 19-point loss, the result was the same.

As always, the Grizzlies went to their opponent's home court with a 2-0 scoreline, and according to the Grizzlies' "habit" last season, they will not miss the opportunity to end the series in Dallas.

Mark. Cuban is now quite embarrassed because in Dallas, he can no longer hide at home to watch the game.

When the time comes, his ugly expression will be displayed in front of the public at a glance.

For the first time, Cuban regretted what he had said, and the price was heavy.

When the game returned to Dallas, things still didn't get better.

On the first night of the Grizzlies in Dallas, the Mavericks did put up a fierce resistance. At one point, they trailed by 20 points in the third quarter and narrowed the deficit to 6 points!

Just when everyone thought that the Mavericks were about to complete a shocking comeback at home, Link, the villain, stepped up and tore the perfect inspirational script with a block.

In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, Monta. Ellis took the cover to shake off Iguodala and headed straight for the basket.

At this time, Gasol was pulled to the outside because of the defense and pick-and-roll, and Randolph was also pulled outside the three-point line by Dekra.

Ellis's front road is clear, and if he can manage to score, then the Mavericks will narrow the gap to 4 points!

But Ellis knows it's not that simple. It's not enough to shake off the black and white bears, Ellis also deliberately looked at Link's position before making a layup.

Spotting Link rushing towards him, Ellis decides to dodge the block with a lever!

Sure enough, the moment Ellis jumped, Link jumped up as well. Ellis was glad he had been prepared, otherwise it would have turned into a volleyball spree that would have flipped the ball 50 meters.

In the air, Ellis pulled the ball back into his chest and dodged Link's block.

Then, Ellis swapped the ball to his left hand and prepared for a layup!

As long as this goal is scored and the difference is reduced to 4 points, then there is still hope!

However, after completing the lever maneuver, Ellis was surprised to find that Link still hadn't landed! It was as if he was waiting in the air for him to change hands, and after he lifted the basketball with his left hand, Link also switched one hand to reach the ball!

Ellis has made numerous difficult layups, both successful and unsuccessful. But not once did he meet someone who could float in the air to complete the hand-changing block.

Link finally slapped the basketball off Ellis's hand and completed the block! Monta. Ellis's beautiful pull-up layup still didn't let him escape the fate of eating hot pot.

Link quickly picked up the basketball when he landed, and then used a long pass to assist Conley to counterattack.

The Mavericks, who had hoped to narrow the gap to four points, are now eight points behind.

On top of that, Link's frighteningly long block killed all the confidence of the Mavericks players.

Now the Mavericks players are not thinking about how to win, but: "How can you win against this guy!?" ”

Link used this terrible block to completely shatter the Mavericks' playoff dreams. It turns out that the miracle of 2011 was there and only once.

Before the game ended, the Mavericks home fans left the stadium early. No home fan paid to watch the game and wanted to see their home team slaughtered.

As a result, there was a very bleak scene in the arena of the American Airlines Center.

Mark. Kuban sat in the front row of the audience with a sad face. Instead of yelling excitedly or standing up and throwing punches as he used to, he stared blankly at the court, and no one knew what he was thinking. Behind him, on the other hand, are empty stands, all in dilapidation.

In front of Cuban, Link destroyed what he loved most — his team.

After the game, it was the cacophony of beeps that brought Cuban back to his senses.

The overall score became 3-0, and although the Mavericks haven't lost yet, they are no different from losing.

The Grizzlies players have started hugging the Mavericks, the kind of hug between the winners and the losers.

Nowitzki dragged his tired body and opened his arms to Link, only this time, he didn't nag in Link's ear for a long time.

After saying "I wish you all the best," Nowitzki left the court. This time, Link no longer needed any of his advice.

After seeing Nowitzki off, Link wanted to walk up to Cuban to say goodbye to him, and by the way, admire Cuban's expression from smug to lost. But Link didn't expect that Vince. Carter actually took the initiative to find himself.

"You've had a great fight, boy, and you're so merciless." Carter shook his head and walked up to Link and took the initiative to hug him.

Averaging 12.6 points per game, you can't say Vince Carter doesn't contribute anything to the Mavericks. It's just that his contribution now is far from comparable to that of ten years ago. However, he has done his best, and he will definitely be unwilling to win a single game in the playoffs.

"You almost won, didn't you?" Link is very good at spraying people, but he really doesn't say good things. In the face of an opponent who took the initiative to show favor, Link's response has always been very stiff.

"Okay, don't comfort me, I know the gap between us. But...... Damn, I don't think I'm reconciled. It's ridiculous that a 37-year-old veteran would feel unwilling. Leave me your number, I want to train with you this summer. ”

Faced with Carter's sudden request, Link was a little stunned. In the past, he trained with mostly young people. But now, even Carter, an influential league veteran, is interested in his training camp?

Link figured that if he did a paid training camp like Olajuwon in the future, he would still need to play a hammer ball! Just by "selling classes", you can make a lot of money.

"Are you sure? We had a lot of training in the summer. ”

"It's because of this that I want to join, how can I keep up with you young people if I don't work hard in the summer." Carter smiled, he hadn't lowered his demands on himself yet.

Link and Carter exchanged numbers, and that was the end of their conversation.

A veteran who still has a hunger for wins and titles, not just to provide for his family.

This kind of player may be able to play a key role at a certain time.

It's a pity that Carter is not in a team with the ability to compete for championships. Otherwise, his key role will surely be vividly revealed.

For example, in Memphis Grizzlies......

Link didn't think much of it, and when he was about to go to say goodbye to Cuban, he found that Cuban was no longer in the stands.

This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the eliminated team owners must have to worry about this summer in advance.
