529: Show Me Dead Link

Mike Conley made Parker nervous after only one round.

Indeed, he doesn't have to compete with Link and Iguodala. But now Conley is not the one who can eat Parker if he wants to.

The Grizzlies can win 60 wins this year, not Link alone. A strong team usually does not have only one strong player.

As the main point guard of the strongest team in the league, Conley is also quite strong. Parker has now adjusted his mindset and dealing with Conley is not the same as dealing with Chalmos yesterday.

Link's all-over dunk just now undoubtedly took the lead in making the morale of the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies, regardless of whether the Spurs have not lost in a row for three months, this is just right, so let the Spurs lose this record in Memphis!

In the next round, the Grizzlies' defense was extremely strong. However, the Spurs were indeed very determined. They had long known that the Grizzlies could not give up their victory easily, so they also took the attitude of looking at death.

Duncan made a jump shot in a hand-to-hand fight with Randolph and successfully scored.

Randolph's defense was tough enough, and he was almost fighting hard. However, Duncan, who was nearly 40 years old, was still able to score goals under such defense, which shows how much they value the victory of this game.

Link's all-connect dunk and Duncan's turnover jump shot seemed to be the epitome of this game. Because in the subsequent games, the two sides were in such a cycle, fighting together with one punch and one kick.

Link was double-teamed by Leonard and Danny Green today. Although he was able to assist, his score could not be as easy as before.

On the Spurs, due to the Grizzlies' excellent defense, their efficiency has not been high.

The two teams played very anxiously, and their shooting percentage was not particularly high. But once one side scored, the other side would immediately resume.

Today, Parker was very uncomfortable with Conley's defense. Most of the heavy responsibility of scoring was pressed on Duncan and Danny Green.

Link was tragically double-teamed, so the Grizzlies' score today mainly depends on Conley and Iguodala.

Conley played very well, not only suppressing Parker on the defensive end, but also stood up on the offensive end to share the pressure.

When Link is locked, Conley is often the first to stand up and get points for the Grizzlies.

Before the game, people questioned Link's speech. But in this game, Conley's performance was indeed better than Parker.

The game lasted three quarters, until the last 42 seconds of the fourth quarter, when Parker's breakthrough caused Conley to foul.

Parker stood on the free throw line, and everyone cheered on the Spurs bench. Because if Parker made two free throws, the Spurs would have to lead by 3 points!

42 seconds, 3 minutes advantage. With both sides playing so anxiously, this is not an easy gap to be broken.

Hubby Brown's heart was beating, and he thought, there would be another final victory today!?

"Tony Parker stepped into the free throw line. He has scored 16 points today, but his shooting percentage is only 40%. There is no doubt that Mike Conley interrupted Parker's excellent form. The Frenchman's MVP-level performance failed to perform in Memphis."

When Parker was free throws, Hubby Brown was praising Conley.

Conley really played well today. With this all-around live game, the whole world saw his strength clearly.

Although he was not selected as an All-Star, he was at the All-Star level!

Parker was unwilling to give up. He clearly thought that he could shine today, but he didn't know that he was so depressed.

Now that I finally have the chance to kill the game, the French naturally won't let it go easily.

So Parker took two deep breaths against the fierce booing of the Grizzlies fans and sent all the balls in!

Two free throws, Parker scored 18 points. The San Antonio Spurs took a key 3-point lead in the last 42 seconds!

The Grizzlies did not call a timeout, after all, they only have one timeout available. This timeout must be kept until the last moment before insurance.

In other words, players must solve the current crisis by themselves. To put it bluntly, it is the players themselves who actually decide everything on the court.

Conley slowly controlled the ball and passed the half, and Parker was ready. So far, Conley has scored 22 points and 9 assists, with only 1 turnover. Moreover, his shooting percentage is as high as 51.3%, which is 11 percentage points higher than Parker.

Although on the surface, Parker is only 4 points short of Conley. But overall, Conley's performance today is more than a little better than Parker.

Kang Lu first glanced at Link. At the critical moment, he naturally wanted to find Link to be safer. But Leonard was pressing against Link, and Danny Green was now eyeing Link.

If you just pass the ball like this, Link won't get a good chance.

This may be the best game the Spurs have limited Link. Until now, Link has scored 23 points and has a shooting percentage of 45.8%.

Link actually performed very well, but if it weren't for this defense, with Link's current state, it would be fine to have a shooting percentage of over 50%. Moreover, the score is probably not just about 20 points.

The Spurs' defense was successful. Not to mention that Link scored only in single digits, but at least Link's offense was no longer doing whatever he wanted.

What does it mean to do whatever you want? It's 10 three-pointers in the first half against the Knicks, and that means to do whatever you want.

Conley then called for cover and planned to break through by himself!

"Does Conley want to do it by himself? Is he going to take this key goal too?" Hubby Brown became nervous. The success or failure of this offense will directly affect the results of the game.

Conley was not afraid. As soon as Gasol's cover arrived, Conley immediately broke through!

Although the game had reached the fourth quarter, Conley's speed seemed to be unaffected. His quick breakthrough made Parker unable to quickly recover after bypassing the pick-and-roll, so Danny Green had to go to make up for defense, while Parker replaced the defense in front of Iguodala.

Seeing this, Conley turned his head and started looking for Link. Sure enough, Link did not stand there and wait, but ran towards the bottom corner on the right!

The two of them thought of going together, and they had a good understanding! Conley played this goal from the beginning, with the purpose of attracting defense and seeking opportunities for Link. Now Danny Green came to make up for Conley, so Link would no longer encounter double-teams.

Therefore, after breaking through to a deep position, Conley did not attack the box, but broke through and passed the ball!

The Spurs players watched the basketball fly towards Link in surprise, and they all screamed in their hearts!

After receiving the ball, Link stopped suddenly, raised his arms and tiptoed. Leonard did not hesitate and rushed forward. He knew very well that he could not hesitate for a moment if he wanted to interfere with Link's shooting. As long as he gave him a little space, Link could score a goal!

However, the next second, Leonard regretted it. Because Link just stood on tiptoe, but did not jump! His realistic shooting fake action made Leonard, who was good at defending, swayed.

Seeing that Leonard was shot, Link took a step across, watched Leonard fly by silently, and then jumped and shot!

Popovich stood up. He didn't believe that Link could be so magical and could hit the key ball every time. However, the cruel facts made the old man's blood pressure soar.

Link made a three-pointer, and both sides drew!

"boom!"

The fans of the court stood up and raised their arms. Although this ball was not a final kill, it pulled the Grizzlies up from the edge of the cliff. Therefore, the fans saw the final kill feeling.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, both sides returned to the same starting line!

After scoring the goal, Link did not celebrate wildly, but pointed at Conley to express his gratitude for his passing.

Popovich called a timeout, and the game was 30 seconds left, and the Spurs had to execute the last blow. Of course, they had to set up their last defense.

Popovich promised that he would not let Link score the goal for the second time in a row!

"After the attack, show me how to kill Link, and I can't let him go. The rest of the Grizzlies can't kill the game! If you look at Link, we will win!" Popovich kept emphasizing the importance of locking Link off the court.

On the Grizzlies, Link patted Conley on the shoulder, "If I don't have a chance later, can you do it?"

Conley's heartbeat accelerated twice, but it quickly returned to normal.
Chapter completed!
