112: Superstars who are all over the place (24/40)
Anthony's defensive position was a problem, and the speed of the blocking was half a beat slower. On the surface, it seemed to interfere with Link's shooting, but in fact, Link was like an open shot.
After this goal, the Grizzlies pulled the gap to 10 points and double digits. At this time, the gap was pulled to double digits, which was definitely a watershed.
The Nuggets need to be able to bite and have a chance to create miracles. If they don’t get up in one breath, the game will be gone.
However, in the current situation where everyone in danger of the Nuggets, they probably don’t have much perseverance. George Carl saw that the team was 10 points behind and wanted to struggle for a while, so he called a timeout.
But now, how many players are willing to listen to him? Link's goal just now has basically completely destroyed the Nuggets.
During the pause time, the live camera lens did not aim at Anthony, but followed Link throughout the whole process.
With 20 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds, Link's data was hit below the screen. All Grizzlies fans cheered, as if they had never lost their leading star.
On the other hand, although Anthony scored 4 points more than Link, his rebounds and assists were better than nothing. Moreover, his efficiency was not as good as Link.
The most important thing is that Anthony's salary this year is as high as 17.15 million. Where is Link? 2 million!
When a player with a base salary performs the same as a player with a large contract, the one with a base salary will definitely attract more attention.
"Link, last four minutes, keep this momentum. I will let you play until the end of the game and keep your advantage!"
Hollins smiled when setting up tactics at Link. This guy was in a great mood. Although he knew Link could score, he really didn't expect him to compete with Anthony.
Only Link and Randolph knew about Anthony's workout last night. Anthony's poor health today was one of the reasons why Link was able to explode with him.
But others don’t know about this kind of thing. Everyone thinks that Link is using his hard power to fight Anthony Steel, and he wants to win.
What can Anthony say? Tell the reporter that he didn't play well today because he did too much Pistons' exercise yesterday? It would be better to admit directly that Link was indeed better than himself today.
Link was very happy to hear Hollins say he would play until the end of the game. In the past, when he played against those heavy stars, Link could only say that he had not been beaten by them or performed similarly with them. But never, his data exceeded theirs in all respects.
For example, against Kobe and Durant, Link still has a gap with those two guys in terms of data.
But today, Link has the opportunity to surpass Anthony in terms of data and performance. There are still 4 minutes left in the end, which is enough!
After returning from the pause, Anthony dragged his tired body into the court. This was a very embarrassing thing for Anthony, and he was tired.
Once Anthony starts to get tired, he will put less energy into the defensive end. However, the offensive efficiency may not necessarily increase.
At this time, the Nuggets can be said to be desperate, it depends on whether the last wave was taken away or won.
When Link saw Anthony again, the guy's face no longer had the initial arrogance and anger, but was replaced by fatigue.
Then when Anthony received the ball, he could be said to be full of flaws. Link lowered his center of gravity and focused on it, just like a cheetah who had already set his sights on his prey and was ready to attack at any time.
When Anthony started dribbling, Link suddenly stretched forward with his long arms.
"Bang!"
He caught a photo of the basketball in Anthony's hand. The basketball lost control. Before Anthony could stand down, Link jumped to the ground and pressed the basketball tightly under his chest.
All the fans stood up and applauded. Such players who like to fight desperately are very popular everywhere. Anthony is not worthy of victory today for the attitude of both sides.
After Link fish jumped and saved the ball, he immediately gave Conley the ball to running forward. Conley didn't push it quickly this time. Now there is no need for him to compete with the Nuggets for time in this situation.
After running outside the three-point line, Conley slowed down. Everyone thought he was waiting for Randolph or Gasol Jr. to sit in the inside line. However, this guy suddenly threw the ball into the basket without any warning.
"Suddenly passed!? Who could it be?"
As soon as Huby Brown finished speaking, Link jumped high and received the pass thrown to the basket. Of course, because Link was limited in gliding distance during this period, he did not directly dunk, but completed an alley relay layup.
But even so, it is enough to make all fans and commentators exclaim.
"God, didn't this guy just fall to the ground to save the ball? When did he run over??"
Everyone has this question in their minds, but the live large screen replay quickly solved the puzzle.
It turned out that after Link passed the ball on the ground, he immediately got up and participated in the attack, and he ran hard. Where is Anthony? After being intercepted, this guy just cursed and forgot to quickly return to defense.
It is no wonder which of these two players will be more popular together.
At 22 points, Link jumped up excitedly after completing the all-in contact and swung his arms hard. This guy was full of energy, and he and Anthony were almost going to two extremes.
A minute later, Link made a comeback. This time, the Grizzlies played a beautiful tactic. Link pretended to come out to catch the ball, but suddenly turned around and cut inward when he was halfway through.
Not to mention this back-running suddenly, Randolph also had no ball cover. Anthony could not stand this, and he was thrown away instantly. Link easily received Conley's pass, and he drew hard with one hand, 24 points.
"24 points, Link's score was tied with Anthony! This was a wonderful third-place matchup. I think even if Guy and Anthony were playing against each other, they might not be that exciting!"
"p!" Anthony was sweating profusely and was completely desperate. No wonder even Kobe faced the undraft. This kid was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
In the last minute of the game, Anthony broke into the basket and was about to drift and shoot near the right side of the basket.
However, Anthony had just jumped up and before he could exert force, Link waved his arm hard and gave Anthony a bloody burst into tears!
If you can't skip you, then use the precise sealing opportunity to make up for it.
The basketball blocked by Link hit Randolph directly in the face. Because the incident happened suddenly, Randolph felt that he was hit hard before he could react.
The basketball bounced back from Randolph's face to Link's hand. Link didn't hesitate and pushed the ball towards the frontcourt.
"Zach passed the ball with his face!" Hubby Brown smiled.
Now, Anthony simply stopped chasing him. He didn't want to fight anymore. This guy has never been a fighting man.
There was a report that the Nuggets played in the playoffs between the 2007-08 season. At that time, there was still a gap in strength between the Nuggets and the Lakers, and the Nuggets were beaten very badly. Especially in the fourth game of the series, the Nuggets were already much behind after the third quarter.
But even so, Allen Iverson, who was no longer young at the time, was motivating his teammates. But Anthony suddenly said, "It's useless, we've been fucking beaten up by the Lakers, we've lost."
Anthony gave up the game since the third quarter. This incident caused a sensation across the United States after it was reported. It is definitely inappropriate to say such words as a team leader.
At that time, this incident made some Nuggets and George Carl very dissatisfied, and the media also questioned whether Anthony was a mature leader.
But judging from now on many years later, Anthony is still not the kind of player who has a paranoid desire for victory.
Anthony did not chase and defended. Link pushed all the way to the middle distance. With the confused expressions of the Nuggets players, he easily shot the mid-range shot.
The moment the basketball fell into the basket, Anthony lowered his head and walked off the court. That was Link's 26th point in this game, and also gave the Grizzlies 12 points ahead of the Nuggets.
From personal data to performance on the court to team victory or defeat, Anthony lost all the way!
The Nuggets during the Anthony era seemed to have been put to an end by Link.
Seeing Link scored the goal, Randolph touched his face that was still painful after being hit by the ball.
Chapter completed!
