The Grizzlies were not led by the nose today, to be precise, Link was not led by Leonard.

From the beginning, he wanted to take the initiative. Just like the Link in Popovich's mind, he couldn't sleep on the bus and nothing was meant. That guy was a fighter, and he would never stop unless he died in battle or was defeated by others!

Popovich knows Link too well and this Grizzlies too well. The scene of being eliminated last season is still vivid in my mind. Even last year's champion Mavericks had to waste a lot of effort in the Western Conference Finals to get the Grizzlies.

They are the undefeated Xiaoqiang, give up? Popovich suspected that this word was not in the dictionary of Link and the rest of the Grizzlies.

Unfortunately, the Spurs fell behind 5-0. Fortunately, the Spurs were only 5-0 behind.

Popovich continued to direct the game on the sidelines, and he did not intend to let the players relax for a second.

This time, Duncan made axle at mid-range, attempting to organize the team's offense and transfer Gasol Jr. out of the penalty area.

Parker used his skillful cut into the basket, received a pass from Duncan's "conductor tower" and easily scored a layup.

This is the Spurs' offense. Fighting alone is not their style. Everyone strictly follows the tactics, which also gives their offense super efficient.

Parker's goal stabilized the Spurs' morale, at least they would not be beaten 7-0. But after Parker scored, Link whispered a few times while pulling Conley.

Hollins noticed Link's behavior. What was Link's planning? This was just a very ordinary goal from the Spurs, and neither Parker nor Duncan were Link's defensive targets.

Even so, does Link have any countermeasures?

Leonard didn't care so much. He quickly retreated to his own half and found that Link was completely two different people than before the game.

When I was warming up, Link kept nagging like a psychopath. But now, Link is extremely focused and looks like a serious person.

Leonard didn't know which Link was the most real side of him, but he would try his best to stop that guy, just like the last game.

This time, Link did not play without the ball, but took possession from Conley in the first half of the game. He wanted to hold the ball and fight Leonard!

Leonard hurriedly opened his big hand to cover Link's eyes, but Link was not panicked at all, but waved his hand and signaled everyone to pull it away.

Then, he leaned back on Leonard's chest!

"Does Link want to play Leonard alone with her back??" Cole shouted. If Link really did this, it would be a duel like Mars hitting the earth!

Leonard did not rashly draw the ball, but raised his chest to stop Link from pushing forward. Seeing Leonard's center of gravity, Link immediately turned around and broke through!

Although Link's back turned and his steps were very beautiful, Leonard still put it on the first time. Link's back turned and broke through without throwing Leonard away.

Popovich applauded Leonard proudly. Link was useless to deal with Leonard in such a simple and crude way!

After reaching halfway through, Link suddenly slowed down his speed, then straightened his back, looking like he was about to stop and jump shot!

Leonard immediately rushed forward and raised his hand to block Link's shot.

Little did he know that Link pressed down on the center of gravity again and accelerated to pass through Leonard who had already jumped up and blocked him! This was a false action of worshiping Buddha, and Leonard shook!

Leonard's reaction is very sensitive, but sometimes, being too sensitive is not a good thing. After Link breaks through, he makes a jump shot easily. His small details on the offensive end make Leonard unable to defend!

"Link hit another mid-range shot, this is a textbook-like one-on-one attempt. Today, he has scored two goals on Leonard's head! Let's see the slow motion replay. God, Link's posture of stopping just now was really too realistic. Not to mention Leonard, even the most experienced defender may not be able to see through it!"

Cole had to admire Link's offensive skills. Who knew how this 3D player had become so comprehensive. If you don't pay attention, you might think that just a normal back turn and jump shot was just a sudden stop. But the details in it reflect Link's good basic attack.

Not everyone can beat this free acceleration and deceleration and perfect rhythm.

"Hey, Kavay, it's 7-2. I didn't compete with you during the warm-up. Now, let's start!" Link continued to stimulate Leonard with words after scoring the goal.

Leonard did not respond to most trash talks and provocations, but Link has proved that Leonard would indeed be upset.

So from now on, Link will continue to squirt Leonard until he gets upset! And disrupting his opponent's emotions will only be beneficial or harmless.

7-2, the Spurs were still very passive. Conley focused, staring at Tony Parker, and then his mind was filled with what Link had just said to him.

"Force him to pass the ball low!"

Parker was as active as ever, and he played a cover with Duncan and quickly broke through the basket. Since Duncan mentioned the high position, Gasol Jr. had to leave the penalty area. Therefore, the Grizzlies' penalty area defense will inevitably have assisted defense.

And if there is a supporting defense, there will definitely be a gap. This is the Spurs' strategy!

Of course, the Grizzlies can also choose not to defend themselves and let Conley chase Parker after being covered and delayed. But it is unknown how many points you will lose if you do that.

To put it bluntly, Popovich puts the Grizzlies in a dilemma.

After Parker entered the penalty area, he found that the Grizzlies were still assisting in defense. Moreover, Link also came to assist in defense.

"Sports Car" did not hesitate. He found Leonard who was waiting outside the three-point line. He was shot 3 of 3 in the last game. He dared to let Leonard go today. Parker thought Link was so stupid!

Just as Parker was about to pass the ball, Conley jumped out from the side and blocked Parker's passing route.

But this is not a problem for Parker. The French have been the head controller of the Spurs for so many years, and this difficulty is simply pediatric.

Parker turned his wrist and turned into a ground-to-ground pass, and he still sent the ball to Leonard!

But Parker found that Link turned around and chased Leonard the moment he passed the ball. Could it be that this was a fake assisting defense? Link's purpose was not to lure him to pass the ball!

Parker, who was experienced, found that something was wrong, but the situation was done, so he could not grab the basketball back.

Leonard received the basketball and passed the ball a little low, and he was not comfortable to catch it. But this was indeed an opportunity, and Leonard still took the action decisively!

The moment Leonard threw the ball out, Link blocked the basket again. Leonard made a second three-pointer shot and made another iron shot under the double blow of poor reception and unfavorable aiming!

"It's still not! Leonard got two opportunities to shoot outside the three-point line today, but he couldn't grasp it. It seems that he didn't maintain the touch of the last game today."

"Damn, what's going on!" Popovich cursed in his heart. Leonard's touch was still hot when he was training yesterday and today.

Why are there two consecutive opportunities now that they are so distorted?

"You didn't go in again, I'm already far ahead, Kaeva!" After being defended, Link passed by Leonard, and even blinked at him.

Through the video, Link found that Leonard's shooting after receiving the low ball did not seem to be very stable, and when he warmed up before the game, Link also proved his guess. That's why he asked Conley to force Parker to pass the low ball.

Under the double interference of having to catch a low ball and the basket being blocked, it would be strange if Leonard, who is not as skilled as the three-pointer, can make a shot.

On the offensive end, use double fake moves to deceive Leonard who is overresponsive. On the defensive end, Link starts from the details, making Leonard uncomfortable to play.

These two points combined make Leonard, who had a glorious last show, extremely embarrassed!

After Leonard made a blacksmith, the Grizzlies' counterattack quickly attacked. Gasol Jr. won the rebound and passed Link for a long pass. Link hit the ground and assisted Tony Allen who was inserted from the middle to easily layup. Danny Green's defense is good, but he is not a player with particularly outstanding athletic ability. If you are chasing yourself, don't make things difficult for Danny Green.

9-2, the San Antonio Spurs were stopped!

Leonard waved his hand in annoyance, frowned, and walked off the court.

Many people don't care about his casual actions, but Popovich cares very much.

Because under normal circumstances, Leonard will not show his emotions on the court!

That guy Link actually made a "robot" angry.
Chapter completed!
