One Thousand One Hundred and Seventeen: No One Can Score a Goal

As soon as the game started, Leonard cut off Link's layup.

Now, even fans who had never paid attention to the Spurs before became nervous.

As we all know, Link's turnover rate has always been at the bottom of the league. Unlike Harden and Westbrook, who get a lot of assists but also produce a lot of turnovers.

As the Grizzlies' main ball-handling point, Link's average of only 1.4 turnovers per game can be said to be quite exaggerated.

What is the concept of averaging 1.4 turnovers per game? A pie-eating player like DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers who barely holds the ball averages the same number of turnovers per game as Link.

Normally, a ballhandler's average turnovers per game is considered to be quite good if he averages less than 2.5 turnovers per game.

Even the "god" back then averaged more than two turnovers per game.

Leonard has done a very good job of controlling turnovers, but he also averaged 2.1 turnovers per game this season.

And Link only has 1.4!

It can be seen that Link not only rarely makes mistakes when passing the ball. In the process of attacking with the ball, he rarely made mistakes.

But today, he made a mistake right from the start! All of this is thanks to Leonard. It would be impossible for someone without some real skill to force Link to make a mistake.

"The Spurs attacked again, and each team defended the other for one round. I don't know who will be the first to break the deadlock today."

As soon as Hubie Brown finished speaking, Danny Green, who was cutting inward to the basket along the baseline, suddenly ran away, turned around and headed towards the three-point line.

Parker delivered the ball immediately, although the Frenchman's current personal data is not very eye-catching. But there is no doubt that no one understands the Spurs offense better than he does.

Green's movement is already one of the Spurs' classic tactics, but even so, he can still get several shooting opportunities with this move in every game.

But this time, when Danny Green caught the ball and shot, Wade immediately raised his hand to interfere.

"Dwayne defended well. He didn't give Green any space. You can see that he worked very hard today. Green's reverse run just now did actually gain him shooting space. But Wade took advantage of his enthusiasm and made up for it. Time!"

"Bang!"

Under Wade's interference,

Green's shot hit the side of the basket, his first shot!

Seeing Jokic protect the rebound, Link smiled happily.

It seems that Wade also knows the importance of today's game.

For a veteran like Wade, compared to when he was young in the past, it takes several games to build up the energy to explode.

It's like accumulating ultimate moves in a fighting game. You have to fill up the energy bar before you can create a sure kill.

In the few games where he is accumulating strength, the performance of this veteran is often quite satisfactory.

So choosing which game to break out in is particularly important.

There is no doubt that Wade has chosen to save his strength for this game, so there is nothing to worry about or reserve.

The moment he chased Green's shot just now, it seemed that Link saw Wade before the Heat's Big Three.

Quick, decisive, and fierce, it is not easy to score against Wade like this.

The Spurs' defense is very strong, but make no mistake, the Grizzlies' defense is also impregnable!

Wade's successful defense put the opportunity to break the scoring drought in the hands of the Grizzlies again.

This time, the Grizzlies fell into position with the Spurs on the offensive end for the first time.

Facing a Tony Parker whose defense had seriously degraded, Conley chose to call for a screen and then broke through on his own!

Parker's current footwork and confrontation ability are indeed not top-notch. He relies more on experience and awareness on the defensive end.

Facing the cover of Jokic, a fat white boy, Parker was completely helpless.

This is the first time Parker has seen an NBA player with such a big cylinder and full of fat...

Conley bypassed the screen and broke into the penalty area, preparing for a layup. But at this time, Dedmon stepped up to defend and did not give Conley any chance.

The Spurs' defense is an overall defense. Similar to the Warriors and Celtics, they are very good at using the strength of the team to make up for the defensive deficiencies in the first position.

But Conley is not Westbrook, and he will not forcefully attack the frame against the help of defensive players.

Seeing Dedmon coming up, Conley secretly pushed the ball from his waist and sent it to Gasol!

Gasol was about to go for a layup when he found Leonard rushing towards him. So, he patiently passed the ball again, and the target was Link who was let go from three points away!

I have to say that Gasol's passing vision is wide enough, but because Leonard raised his arms high, Gasol could only pass a lob.

The biggest advantage of the lob pass is that it is easy for big players to receive it and is difficult to be intercepted, but the biggest disadvantage is that the flight speed is extremely slow.

Seeing Gasol pass a lob, Leonard immediately turned around and chased Link again!

From the beginning, he hoped to force Gasol to pass this kind of ball. Leonard can easily catch up with this extremely slow pass.

Link shot immediately after catching the ball, hoping to take the shot before Leonard interfered.

Unfortunately, when he took action, the big hand still blocked his sight.

Leonard finally ran the pass!

"Bang!"

Basketball strikes again, and Link's three-point shot has the same ending as Green.

"Oh my God, the Spurs' defense is really not messy at all! Mike Conley has obviously opened up gaps, but the Spurs were stunned to resolve them one by one. Especially Leonard, who almost guarded Gasol by himself in the end. With Link!”

"Fuck, it's really awesome. I can even catch up with this." Link curled his lips. It seemed that the "facial paralyzed guy" was determined to fight with his life today.

In the situation just now, most people might simply give up on defense. After all, this is just the regular season and not a critical round yet.

But Leonard ran with all his strength and resolved the crisis.

The score between the two sides was still 0-0, and neither team could score.

This season, Link has had a lot of head-to-head battles with others. Terrifying historical data such as 50+15+15 and quadruple-doubles were all achieved in confrontations.

But today was different. The two sides were in a defensive battle.

The Grizzlies missed again, and now, the chance to break the deadlock lies with the Spurs!

At this point, Leonard finally didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to meet Link in person.

In fact, if Popovich hadn't emphasized the integrity, Leonard would have taken the ball long ago.

Although Leonard's statistics this season are so dazzling, in fact, these are the statistics he obtained while being "sealed."

Popovich emphasized the style of team basketball, which somewhat curbed Leonard's personal data. If Leonard changed teams, he could definitely do better.

Therefore, Leonard's offensive power is actually more terrifying than what his data shows.

After Leonard received the basketball from outside the three-point line, he did not hesitate, directly played a pick-and-roll with Aldridge, and then immediately broke through!

Aldridge can shoot outside, so Jokic can't help Link with defense, and Link can only solve the problem by himself.

Leonard had just taken two steps after breaking through and wanted to make a sudden stop for a mid-range shot.

Leonard's current offensive skills are quite comprehensive, and shooting is no longer Leonard's shortcoming.

Link rushed around the screen and immediately jumped to interfere. Of course he knew Leonard's offensive threat.

However, Leonard just made a fake shot!

After shaking Link up, Leonard leisurely passed by Link and successfully broke through!

"Link was actually shaken up. God, I've never seen him be cheated like this before!"

Hubie Brown is no longer calm. There are not many people in this league who can make Link fake. As of now, Leonard has completely suppressed Link.

Since Aldridge and Dedmon pulled the Grizzlies' twin towers away from the basket, Leonard's path to breakthrough was extremely smooth.

He leaped high with all his strength, and his arms were ready to use force.

He must vent all the grievances he felt after losing in the tiebreaker last season!

Link is indeed strong, but he is not invincible.

"Ah!" Leonard couldn't help but growl, his muscles tensing up in preparation to smash the ball toward the basket.

But just as the basketball was about to enter the frame, Link's slender arms appeared between the basketballs.

Leonard slammed the ball toward the basket, but it hit Link's hand! The other side of Link's arm was still stuck on the basket, which was equivalent to two opposite forces squeezing Link's arm!

Hubi Brin covered his mouth when he saw this. He was really afraid that Link's arm would be broken! From the side, he could clearly see that Link's arms were slightly bent at the reverse joints.

In the end, the basketball flew away from Link. And what about Link himself? He just shook his arm, nothing serious.

"Blocking the dunk, Link didn't give up after being knocked away. He rushed back in time and successfully stopped Leonard! Two great defensive players, playing a great defensive performance!"

The fans at the scene also cheered. It stands to reason that the most exciting moment on the basketball court should be the moment when a goal is scored.

But Link and Leonard made the defense extremely exciting!

Conley was the first to rush forward and catch the bounced basketball, and then quickly went down for an empty layup. The Grizzlies finally took the lead in breaking the scoring drought.

However, these 2 points do not mean anything. Now, Link and Leonard are still 0-0, and the two sides are still tied.

Link looked at Leonard with a ferocious expression. Leonard has seen this expression before. It was this expression on Link's face during the tiebreaker last season!

And when Link's relaxed expression turns ferocious, it's often not good. Because this is a signal that Link is ready to risk his life with you!

"I can't score goals, and you can't score goals comfortably either. You want to run wild on my territory, you're so stupid!" Sure enough, Link soon started spewing trash talk. Leonard wants to risk his life with him, and he will stay with him until the end!

Although Leonard showed no expression on the surface, he was shocked in his heart by Link's block just now.

After being knocked away, he was able to catch up and block such a powerful dunk!

Leonard almost used all his strength in that dunk just now. He really couldn't imagine how Link had the courage to come up and stop him.

That kind of blocking will really break your arm if you don't do it right!

"What a madman!" Leonard muttered to himself.

Just as people expected, these two large killing machines began to rub against each other and create sparks!

In subsequent games, this brutal scene will definitely happen again and again.
