917: Arrogant Capital(1/2)

A few rounds ago, the atmosphere was very joyful in the American Airlines Center in Phoenix.

The fans cheered hard, and Horacek confidently directed his team, and Isaiah Thomas also received heroic treatment.

All of them are waiting for a big victory or a highlight of their own career.

But now, there is no other emotion in the American Airlines Center except for tension.

The fans clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. The noisy stands became quiet, and everyone could only hear their heartbeat.

On the court, no one cared about the performances of the cheerleader girls. All Suns fans are now only concerned about one question - whether the Suns can keep the advantage of the last 2 points until the end.

Jeff Hornersek is under great pressure. If the sun was pressed to the ground by the grizzly bears at the beginning, he might not have had that much pressure.

After all, in everyone's consensus, it is indeed a huge difficulty for the Sun to defeat the Grizzlies.

But in the game, the Suns gave everyone hope, and they almost turned the top spot in the West.

In this way, it will be difficult for fans to accept the result of losing to the Grizzlies.

The cruelest thing is not that you can’t see hope from the beginning, but that you see hope in the middle but are taken back.

Hornersek and all the fans on the scene did not want such a thing to happen.

"Isaiah, delay time as much as possible in the last attack. And, you must ensure that you can score a goal! Break through the basket, I need you to end the attack at the basket! In this way, we are sure to win! Remember, you must not make mistakes, we cannot give up the victory we have won!"

Hornersek patted Thomas on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

Thomas Jr. feels that he has never been taken so seriously. Since he has to rely on himself for the key ball, why should he trade himself?

Thomas Jr. did not continue to worry about this issue, but just nodded silently.

If you win this game, you may be able to change your position in the team. Maybe you won’t have to wander anymore.

Tonight is undoubtedly a great night for Thomas, so if that's the case, then continue to be great!

The pause time ended soon, but this time, the fans on the scene did not burst out with violent cheers.

Everyone was in no mood to cheer now, they all held their breath with concern, wanting to see this critical last attack.

Thomas Jr. calmly waited for the passage of time and strictly followed Hornersek's plan.

At the same time, he also formulated a box plan for the last attack in his mind.

The head coach will only tell you what to do, but the specific details must be executed by the players themselves.

If this goal is scored, it will be a quasi-winning kill. Thomas Jr. will not waste such an opportunity. He will tell the world that 175 can challenge the best month!

175, can also prove yourself in this alliance.

p. j. Tucker was very nervous, afraid that he would mess up the key ball again. Although he would not receive the basketball in the original plan, the most common occurrence of accidents on the basketball court was accidents.

As time passed by minute by minute, all the fans in the stands seemed to have held their breath.

Thomas Jr. began to slowly approach the three-point line and called for cover.

Markieff Morris hurriedly lifted the pick-and-roll, Thomas Jr. paused for a moment and accelerated to the cover side.

Morris' cover was still quite powerful, and Conley failed to pass through it as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Randolph immediately changed defense. Now he can't give Thomas any gap, because any gap may take away the game.

Thomas, facing Randolph who was rushing towards him, calmly slowed down and straightened his back, as if he was about to stop and jump shot.

Randolph raised his center of gravity and slightly off the ground, preparing to block it as soon as possible.

At this moment, little Thomas accelerated twice and passed by the "Big Black Bear"!

Just now, he was not shooting, but a fake action of worshiping Buddha!

"Thomas shook Zach away, and he killed the penalty area. This is the real big shot with a small fortune! There is no doubt that today, Thomas is the hero of Phoenix!"

Accompanied by the commentator's shouting, all the fans stood up, raised their arms high, ready to celebrate this wonderful kill.

If Thomas can defeat the Grizzlies, the league ruler, he can brag for the whole season!

Isaiah Thomas was very calm because from beginning to end, everything happened the same as he planned.

Using cover, Randolph and Conley forced Randolph to switch defenses, and then shook Randolph to break through...

Everything is so perfect, and now there is only the easiest step left, which is to put the ball into the basket!

Thomas jumped two steps behind the free throw line and reached out to hand the ball. But at this moment, Isaiah Thomas heard Tucker's shouting.

"Be careful!"

"Hmm? Be careful?" Before Thomas could react, he saw Link rushing into the thorn, then he took his big hand and grabbed the basketball directly from his hand!

At that moment, little Thomas in the air widened his eyes.

Before he broke through, he clearly saw Link still beside Tucker. He was a cautious player and he was not easy to attack the basket with high risks.

The reason why he is so confident is that he has confirmed his safety.

Before the layup, a trace of concern flashed through Thomas's mind, and he thought to himself that Link would appear suddenly again.

But this concern quickly disappeared because Link couldn't get back.

But again, Link fulfilled one thing--in front of him, nothing is impossible.

Link was like a huge shadow at this time, shrouding in front of little Thomas.

The reason why Thomas Jr. didn't feel this way in the previous three quarters was because he had not exploded yet and Link had not used him as his opponent.

But now, when Link targets Thomas Jr., he has no way to escape!

"Link... he actually grabbed the basketball directly from Isaiah Thomas! What did he do!?" The live commentator got goose bumps and became incoherent.

It is rare to catch the ball. The visual impact of grabbing the ball directly from the opponent's hand is even more terrifying!

After Link caught the basketball, Jogel immediately called for a timeout and arranged the last attack in the last 7.2 seconds.

Although the Suns are now leading by 2 points, the initiative seems to have reached the hands of the Grizzlies.

"I knew you could, I knew!" When Link walked off the court, Randolph was the first to rush up and hug Link.

Subsequently, more and more Grizzlies players surrounded Link.

Link's catch can be said to have saved the Grizzlies' lives. With Conley and Randolph both getting rid of it, if Link's catch would have ended early without Link's catch.

Link, who was surrounded by his teammates, was not excited. He waved his hand and dispersed the crowd, "The game is not over yet, stay calm!"

When Jogel saw Link like this, he smiled with relief.

This is the real team leader!

The best month in the west in three consecutive months is not unfair!

After Link sat on the bench, Jogel also began to set up tactics.

Now the Grizzlies are 2 points behind. As long as they can score a three-pointer, the Grizzlies can kill the game.

This is something everyone knows.

Therefore, the Suns will definitely defend the three-point line outside the three-point line later. Jogel believes that it is difficult for the Grizzlies to get opportunities outside the three-point line.

Therefore, instead of setting up the tactics as most people thought, he signaled Link to a two-pointer.

"The Suns will definitely not have that tight protection in the three-point line later. Link, I want you to break through and score points and try to drag the game into overtime. After the overtime starts, the Suns will have no choice but to do anything to us. After all, Isaiah Thomas cannot perform the same way as they did in every quarter."

Link agreed with Jogel's arrangement.

Although it was a little troublesome to play overtime, the winning rate was indeed higher. If the Suns had not relied on Thomas Jr. to break out in the fourth quarter, the game would not have been able to play this step at all.

In overtime, does solar power guarantee Thomas will continue to explode?

The game started again, and the live footage was directed at Link again.

A minute and a half ago, people were eager to see if the best of the month could save the team in desperate situations.

And now, he has successfully pulled the Grizzlies back and is ready to kill the game!

Tucker was sweating profusely, not because of fatigue, but because of nervousness, not because of the more serious tension just now!

This may be the most important defense ever in his career.

Whether Link becomes a god or becomes a god by himself depends on this defense.

Since there was not much time left in the game, Link called for cover after receiving the basketball and prepared to make a breakthrough immediately!

The Suns' strategy is to kill Link outside the three-point line, but unexpectedly, Link took advantage of Randolph's cover and went into the inside!

In an instant, the Suns became in a hurry. Suns sophomore center Alex Ryan immediately rushed to the basket and prepared to block Link.

Link did not slow down and directly launched an attack on Ryan. Ryan had not yet stood firm at this time. If he directly attacked, he would have a chance to get two free throws!

In the air, the two collided violently. As a No. 5 position, Ryan was directly pushed out of the bottom line by Link. This shows how big the impact is.

But when Link was surprised, after the collision, the referee was indifferent!

The referee didn't even vent such an obvious blocking foul.

The referee is also nervous now because any penalty he makes may affect the final outcome of the game. The purpose of the NBA is to give the players the right to decide the outcome of the game.

Therefore, the referee did not dare to act rashly and did not sound a whistle.
