One Thousand One Hundred and Forty-One: Brother, Be Gentle

It's obvious that Link hasn't reached the point where he has to fight his sworn enemy to enjoy the game.

Even without Durant, Link played very enjoyable. As long as the Warriors can lose, Link doesn't care whether Durant is there or not.

Victory without force? There's nothing pretentious about this. Durant wasn't intentionally injured by a grizzly bear.

If Link were unable to play now, he could guarantee that the Warriors would fight even harder!

Isn't that what the Warriors did in last season's Western Conference Finals? Defeating a grizzly bear with a battalion full of wounded soldiers, isn't it a great honor for the Warriors?

Therefore, Link has absolutely no mercy or reason to be soft-hearted.

The Warriors personally ended the Grizzlies' dynasty, and now, Link is about to take back everything that once belonged to him!

After being scored by Link, the Warriors' offense was very active under Cole's call.

But Joerger is not worried. The Warriors are missing Durant, and it is not just as simple as missing a scoring point that averages 25 points per game.

Why is the Warriors' offense so good? I believe many people will use one word to explain it - space.

They utilized the offensive space to the extreme!

Whether it is Curry or Thompson, their extremely superb three-point shooting skills can provide the Warriors with great offensive space.

The arrival of Durant has made the Warriors' offensive power even more powerful. Because after Durant's arrival, the Warriors finally have someone who can take advantage of the space!

It's not enough to have space but not be able to use it. It's just like if you have five shooters, it's also impossible to win the game. Because after the space is opened, none of the five shooters can take advantage of it.

The arrival of Durant solved this problem for the Warriors. When the Warriors' offensive space is opened up, Durant is simply invincible.

His one-on-one singles in wide spaces are enough to destroy most players in this league.

Of course, Curry is also a master at utilizing space, but there is one thing to say: Durant is indeed better than Curry in terms of offensive comprehensiveness. He uses space more skillfully than Curry.

But now that Durant is gone, the Warriors are unable to make full use of the space.

even,

Durant's absence leaves them with less space than before.

McCaw is not an offensive player. He averaged only 4 points per game this season. While averaging only 1.7 three-pointers per game, his shooting percentage was only 33%.

It's hard for you to imagine what McCaw looks like playing in singles with the ball. Not to mention using the space, he may not even be able to open up the space.

Today, all the offensive pressure on the Warriors has been accumulated on Curry and Thompson.

Curry wanted to use the screen to break through, but found that the three-point line was crowded, and all he could see were Grizzlies players wearing dark blue jerseys.

The Grizzlies can shrink their defense unscrupulously today, because except for Curry and Thompson, the other three do not have much three-point threats.

The advantage that the Warriors are most proud of has completely disappeared today!

Therefore, without Durant, the Warriors are not just missing a scoring point.

Their entire offensive system will be affected.

Curry saw that the breakthrough was not very advantageous, so he chose to move to the side, took the screen and immediately shot a three-pointer.

Fortunately, Curry's three-pointer also passed through the net, which made Cole feel a little more relieved.

At least today the Warriors won't be like the Rockets, who were beaten 20-0 as soon as they came on.

"Stephen Curry is really a terrible sniper. His three-pointer allowed the Warriors to complete the lead. But I have to admit that the Grizzlies' defense just now was really strategic. If the Warriors want to score in the future, they will only get worse and worse. Disaster."

Yes, you can make one shot with the kind of ball library just now, but you can't make all of them.

But facing a defense like the Warriors... Link is very likely to cause trouble for the Warriors every round.

Thompson couldn't guard him, so this time the Warriors replaced McCaw.

However, as a first-year rookie, McCaw felt that he could not move his legs just by seeing Link.

As early as McCaw High School, Link had already reached his peak, leading the Grizzlies to three consecutive championships.

At that time, the sensation Link caused in the United States is self-evident. Many children who like basketball regard Link, an inspirational star who has struggled all the way from being undrafted, as their idol, and McCaw is no exception.

Now, standing in front of his former idol, it is certainly difficult for McCaw to remain calm.

Not to mention McCaw, when Link stood in front of idols such as Grant Hill and Kobe Bryant for the first time, he would feel nervous.

"Hello."

Just when McCaw's mind went blank, Link called out to the nervous rookie.

"ah!?"

"Your legs are stiff, kid." After saying that, Link raised the basketball and was about to shoot.

McCaw was so nervous that he pounced directly, but after he took off, he realized that Link had just made a simple fake shot!

"Fuck!" McCaw, who was still floating in the air, really wanted to find a hole to get in, but he was fooled by a simple shooting fake. It was really embarrassing!

Once again, Link passed through the Warriors' defense with ease. Facts have proved that neither McCaw nor Clay's defense can pose much threat to Link.

Link picked up speed and went to the basket with all his strength, relying on Green to force a layup.

After scoring five points in a row, Link played easily.

"No, no, no, the Warriors must find someone to stop Link, otherwise they will suffer the same fate as the Rockets." Next to Mike Breen, Kevin Harlan couldn't stand it anymore.

"The key is that they don't have this kind of player. Unless Coach Cole is willing to let Green try." Mike Breen spread his hands. The Grizzlies' strategy is now very clear.

They just want to use Link to attack the Warriors' weaknesses!

Tonight, no matter how high Link scores, Mike Brin will not be surprised.

McCaw and Thompson were both defeated, and Draymond Green glanced at Cole at this time.

Green really wanted to win, and he didn't want Link to continue to act recklessly.

The Warriors had no good solution now, so Cole nodded and signaled Green to meet Link in the next round.

This time the Warriors attacked and Curry missed a three-pointer.

Conley defended very hard today because he knew that he only had to focus all his energy on the defensive end today.

So, he had no reservations. It was only the first quarter of the game, and he already had the momentum to fight Curry.

Curry also thought about attracting the defense and helping his teammates score, but in this round he failed to find anyone else who had a chance to score.

On Thompson's side, it was difficult to move forward under the blockade of Josh Richardson.

During Wade's training period, Richardson undoubtedly showed his worth.

So in the end, Curry had to force a three-point shot. But even he can't guarantee 100% three-point shooting percentage.

That kind of thing only appears in Japanese basketball comics.

Link grabbed the rebound himself and accelerated to prepare for a counterattack.

But he had just crossed the midfield line when he felt he was hit by a speeding truck.

Link turned around and saw that it was indeed Green!

"Draymond Green posted up, and this time he defended Link. I think this is the only way for the Warriors to contain Link today!"

Seeing Green's fierce face, Link slowly slowed down and waited for the two inside players to get into position.

McCaw and Clay are both over 2 meters tall. To be honest, if they are asked to defend some blue-collar insiders who have no independent offensive ability, they might be able to defend them.

But make no mistake, Gasol and Jokic are two of the best centers in Europe!

Green started to steal. He hoped to prevent Link from passing the ball and disrupt Link's rhythm.

However, Link acted like a monkey, gently pulling the ball behind his back, and avoiding Green's hand.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't be so anxious, friend." Link dribbled the ball easily, and at the same time, Jokic was already in position. Behind him is McCaw who looks like he is stunted...

Well, anyone standing next to Jokic would look very thin.

Link lifted the basketball and seemed to drop the ball into the penalty area.

Green reacted immediately. He raised his arms and jumped high in the air, trying to destroy Link's pass.

However, after Green took off, Link slammed the ball to the ground.

The basketball passed through Green's crotch and bounced into Jokic's hands.

Historically, only Link can complete the steal the moment the opponent passes the ball. This kind of thing cannot be imitated by others.

"Link successfully fed the ball in. Now, it's up to Jokic!"

McCaw looked at the lump of pork belly in front of him that was several times bigger than himself and swallowed his saliva.

"Brother, be gentle..."

"Bang!" Jokic obviously didn't hear McCaw's request. He leaned back suddenly, and McCaw felt that his body was about to fall apart.

If you think the chubby Jokic has no power, you are wrong.

No serious center may be able to withstand Jokic, let alone McCaw.

Jokic got inside, and then directly pushed the frame with both hands through the poor McCaw!

Link shook his head, even Jokic, a guy who couldn't bounce as high as a can, could play so wildly. The Warriors' defense today...is simply beyond words.

Cole covered his forehead, it was so miserable!

Letting McCaw or Thompson face the Grizzlies Twin Towers is no different from giving away points.

He shouted helplessly at Green, signaling for the defense to switch back.

Although Green was very reluctant, he had no choice but to do it. Everyone has just seen the result of letting the defender face the Grizzlies Twin Towers.

But in this way, Link was liberated again. He can continue to score unscrupulously in front of McCaw and Thompson!

20 seconds later, the Grizzlies made a comeback.

Green returned to the inside, and Link faced Thompson with the ball outside the three-point line.

Next, until the end of the game, the warrior must endure Link's ravages.

On the sidelines, Durant, who was full of confidence just now, is now burying his head deeply.

In this "March Madness", the Warriors were completely defeated.
