Of the New York Knicks' last six wins, only the one against the Spurs was within 10 points. This was talked about by most of the New York media as if it were the Knicks' strong proof.

But if you take a closer look at the score of the Grizzlies since their seven-game winning streak, it is not difficult to find that the Grizzlies have scored more than 10 points in every game so far this season! A team as strong as the Oklahoma City Thunder will have to lose by 10 points against the Grizzlies.

The Rockets and Heat were the worst, with the former losing by 23 points and the latter by 18 points. These two teams tend to fall behind at half-time, but not much. As a result, he was directly stunned by a wave of offensive climax in the third quarter. Throughout the fourth quarter, there was basically no suspense.

In the third quarter, this is the key point that Stevens wants to grasp after entering the Grizzlies!

In 1996, in the season when the Bulls won 72 wins. Many of the Bulls' games were quite anxious in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, the Bulls suddenly launched a fierce attack and could directly take away the opponent.

The sudden power of the third quarter was almost Jordan and Pippen's favorite trick.

The third quarter is a very delicate time period for a basketball game. Because some teams will slowly find their groove in the minutes before the start of the third quarter and slow down from the rhythm of the halftime break. And if you seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack at this time and suddenly increase the intensity, it is very likely to directly open the score.

And the most terrifying thing is that after the score is opened in the third quarter, there is actually only one quarter left for the opponent to catch up. This is a bigger chance of winning than pulling the score apart in the second quarter.

Therefore, really experienced teams will choose to take the game away in the third quarter. Stevens knew this, so he moved this set of things to the Grizzlies.

As it turned out, the Grizzlies executed very successfully.

However, this style of play is not suitable for all teams, and in order to open the score in the third quarter, scoring explosiveness and defensive consistency are indispensable.

However, grizzlies meet just these two conditions. In the first half of the game, Stevens usually put more emphasis on team attack, in order to nurture everyone's hand. Link, on the other hand, is another star with explosive scoring power, and he can meet the offensive needs of the Grizzlies in the third quarter.

As for defensive stability, Stevens doesn't have to worry about it. His predecessor, Lionel. It took years for Hollins to build the Grizzlies into a defensive division, and that was a good foundation for Stevens to worry about at all.

So, clocking out in the third quarter will be the norm for Stevens' team. For example, today, Stevens hopes that Link and others can solve the already extremely irritable Knicks in the third quarter!

Dissecting other teams and extracting the best of their tactics for their own use is what characterizes Stevens.

So after the third quarter of the game, everyone on the Grizzlies was gearing up. Let's hope Stevens says it right, and hopefully the Knicks really don't get into the rhythm.

In the first attack of the third quarter, Anthony, who had been disturbed by Iguodala, did not continue to shoot recklessly. Melon knows very well that if you want to equalise now, you have to be all involved in the attack.

So, Anthony, who was holding the ball with his back in the middle distance, passed the ball to Raymond. Felton. Filton paused after receiving the ball, and then immediately broke through!

But this kind of carving insect trick-like rhythm change can't fool Link, and Link, who is full of physical strength, immediately catches up and stretches out his hand. The height of 2.03 meters is still quite a pressure for the 1.85 meter Felton.

In the second half, Stevens deliberately adjusted the defense, letting Conley defend Kidd and Link defending Felton, the shortest. Because Kidd is more often just an organization point and doesn't make many shots. And Felton, on the other hand, is more of a shooting guard in this system.

Use Link to defend against Felton, and Facton can basically be dumbfounded.

"Hey, I didn't score the first goal!" Mike. Woodson was anxiously crossing the sidelines, and now the Knicks have too few offensive points on the court.

But if you put it on. Smith, on the defensive end, is again struck by Link...... Mike. Woodson felt like Link had only given him two options – to be prevented or attacked.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the Knicks were not yet in the groove. Stevens was overjoyed, but defense alone was not enough, and the offense had to keep up to play the climax.

Link knew he was up and leading the team to score in the third quarter. Why did the 72-win Bulls always end the fight in the third quarter? Because they had Jordan and Pippen in the third quarter.

Link is playing the role of Jordan at this time!

With the ball, his back, and his push, Link's offense was clean and unobtrusive.

Link could clearly feel that Ronnie. Brewer's defense wasn't as rough as it was in the first half. Stevens is right, after being troubled by fouls, the Knicks are playing timidly!

Since the defense is so soft, Link will naturally not be polite! Without much confrontation, Link calmly shook his shoulders and then rolled over to the right for a jumper.

Brewer was confused by Link's shoulder shake, so he stepped forward to block it half a beat slower. But for a number one attacker, half a beat is enough.

Anthony watched Link defeat Brewer with his superb back-to-back attack again, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Anthony couldn't help but ask himself at this time: that guy's offense seems to be really ...... Stable than yourself?

"Damn!" Anthony can't sit still, and now he's 12 points behind! If you lose again, the capital for trash talk will be gone!

So, this time, Anthony went crazy in the low position. It's a pity that Randolph used his strong body to push Anthony out little by little, and the melon couldn't take advantage of it at all.

There was no way, Anthony had to give up the decision to play in the key position and run to the three-point line to catch the ball in a gloomy way.

Playing the number three position for a while and playing the number four position for a while, Anthony felt messy.

As soon as Kidd passed the ball to Anthony, Anthony was caught by Iguodala. Randolph and Iguodala worked hard to give the body a confrontation and make it difficult for Anthony to move!

In the end, Anthony stumbled and handed the ball to Ronnie, who was let go by Iguodala. Brewer, Brewer holds the ball and kills into the penalty area.

Brewer has poor shooting consistency, so most of the time he chooses to go to the basket to score points.

But he forgot that under the Grizzlies' basket, there was a dangerous white bear.

Brewer had just jumped, and Mark Brewer had just jumped. Gasol's defense arrived. For Brewer's iron, Gasol Jr. just raised his hand lightly, didn't jump much, and then lightly blocked the ball.

Iguodala grabbed the out-of-control basketball, and the Grizzlies had a chance to continue to pull the score away!

Since Brewer is still under the basket and can't catch back, this time, the person chasing Link becomes Anthony!

Anthony looked at the number 0 who was running towards the front, full of anger. The superstar couldn't come to terms with the fact that he had been beaten by a draft loss over and over again.

Link did receive a long pass, and he was the sharp knife in this transition attack. Anthony also picked up his pace and leaned behind Link.

Instead of being afraid of Anthony's confrontation, Link jumped to the basket as planned!

Anthony immediately followed, but don't underestimate the King of New York! What New Yorkers in Memphis Say doesn't count, fart!

Anthony's athleticism is not weak, so the jump height is still very scary. Just when Anthony's palm was about to touch the basketball and was about to finish chasing Link, Link suddenly changed the ball from his left hand to his right hand as if he had a long eye on the back of his head!

"What!?" Anthony stunned, changing hands for a layup? Link still has this kind of operation!?

Why not? After dodging Anthony's block, Link easily lifted the basketball with his left hand. But in the air, due to Anthony's inertia, he knocked Link out of the line.

At the same time as the ball was scored, the referee whistled again!

Cameron. Anthony fouled for the fourth time of the game!

"I'm rubbing your mother, what are you blowing!?"

"You're going too far, is there a foul on this ball!? Exercise! ”

On the Knicks bench, Smith and Mike. Woodson's master and apprentice couldn't help it and scolded directly.

The referee very gentlemanly gave each of them a technical foul, and the entire Knicks exploded.

Link looked at Stevens and shrugged. It was just four points in a row, but I didn't expect the Knicks to collapse so quickly in the third quarter.

Now the Knicks' mentality has completely exploded, and if they add free throws to expand the difference to 15 points later, the Knicks will be even more passive.

In the third quarter, before the Knicks could react, the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to take away the game like the Chicago Bulls in 1996.

Stevens breathed a sigh of relief, Link's offensive power is exactly the capital he has the confidence to execute the third quarter tactics!

That guy's scoring ability...... Today, it completely overshadowed the famous "offensive kaleidoscope" Anthony.

The superstar, who averaged 28 points per game, was also overshadowed by the Grizzlies and Link.

Ignoring the yelling of the Knicks players, Link stepped to the free throw line and landed a free throw safely.

Clock in and get off work!
