One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-Eight: Alley-Oop... Fadeaway Jumper?

8-0, this was a perfect start that even Budenholzer himself did not expect.

Middleton's decisive three-point shot made Antetokounmpo like a beast that had broken free of its shackles.

Budenholzer, who was originally in despair, once again saw the hope of winning. As long as the Bucks can win at the Bradley Center today and tie the score to 1-2, the Bucks will still have room for detours!

As long as it's not 0 to 3, everything is fine.

Yes, it was so frustrating to lose the first two games. Today, it’s time to go to Bucks for a dumpling meal.

It’s impossible to miss three points every day!

On the court, Antetokounmpo glared at Link fiercely and quickly organized his teammates to return to defense.

Link looked at Antetokounmpo's back and felt the guy's overflowing desire.

He can feel Antetokounmpo's desire to reach the top of the league.

Because many years ago, Link himself was like that.

For the sake of the championship, they can disrespect anyone, even their former idols.

Although Antetokounmpo always talks arrogantly, Link doesn't really hate him.

At least compared to Green and Durant, Link has not completely put Antetokounmpo on his opposite side.

He understands Antetokounmpo's thoughts and his desires.

That young man just wanted to create his own world in this cruel alliance.

only......

After Link handed the basketball to Jokic who came to serve, he clenched his fists.

It’s just that Antetokounmpo really didn’t choose the right time.

This year, Link will not give up the championship no matter what.

Most teams after three consecutive championships will lose their fighting spirit to continue competing for the championship.

But the Grizzlies are different. This year's Grizzlies are almost a brand new team compared to the Grizzlies during the previous three consecutive championships.

so,

Everyone is still in high spirits, including Link!

His final performance cannot be ruined by anyone.

Link understands Antetokounmpo, but that doesn't mean he will fulfill that guy's wish.

After Antetokounmpo's dunk, the momentum of the entire Bucks obviously increased greatly.

They have really felt the power of the home court, and they are now full of confidence!

After Conley controlled the ball across half court this time, he wanted to hand the ball to Link immediately.

But Antetokounmpo blocked with his long arm and cut off Conley's route to the ball.

"Don't even think about taking over the game today, Link!" While defending, Antetokounmpo also spat out trash talk.

Link didn't respond. He was actively looking for opportunities to respond.

But before Link could get rid of Antetokounmpo, Conley handed the ball to Dillon Brooks, who suddenly cut in empty-handed.

Conley's passing is still as precise as a scalpel. Generally speaking, after receiving this kind of ball, Brooks only needs to lay up easily.

But today, Wesley Matthews was very close to him, even pulling at Brooks' jersey.

Finally, when Brooks went for a layup, Matthews roughly blocked it.

Brooks was knocked to the ground in embarrassment, and naturally he failed to hit the layup.

The Bucks once again defended successfully, and their desire to win today is as high as ever.

Brook Lopez picked up the basketball and immediately handed it to Bledsoe.

This "Mini James" counterattacked quickly like a small steel cannon. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the Bucks to widen the point difference to double digits!

Bledsoe drove straight into the penalty area.

Just when the Grizzlies defense was shrinking towards Bledsoe, he threw the ball to the left corner.

JaMychal Green, who was originally going to chase Bledsoe, quickly turned around and ran toward the bottom corner, because there, Middleton had already received Bledsoe's pass!

For the third time tonight, Middleton made a three-point shot.

In the first two games, it was difficult for the Bucks to produce stable and sustained output from beyond the three-point line.

Today, Link also believes that the Bucks' touch should still be accurate.

As long as they can hold on, they can equalize the score when the Bucks' own touch declines.

The Grizzlies came this way in the first two games.

After all, the Bucks are not the Warriors they were back then, and they cannot take away the game with a wave of three-pointers.

As a result, as soon as Link finished thinking this, he was slapped in the face!

Middleton still hit his third three-pointer. From the beginning of the game to now, Middleton has made three of three shots from beyond the three-point line!

This guy only averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game!

The score difference became 12 points, and Bucks fans couldn't believe that happiness came so suddenly.

12 to 0, there is no more perfect start than this!

After Middleton scored, the piercing whistle immediately sounded throughout the audience.

Joger called a timeout, and the Grizzlies were completely stopped!

Antetokounmpo excitedly rushed up and gave Middleton a hug. Now, who dares to say that the Bucks' second-in-command is a shortcoming?

Link shook his head and walked off the court. It seemed that today, the Bucks could not be expected to feel cold.

Just as Link had worried before, after returning home, the Bucks really exploded with three points.

And the three-point touch thing is really contagious sometimes.

Now it's just Middleton who is accurate. Next, maybe other members of the Bucks will be accurate as well.

The third game of the finals was more difficult and dangerous than everyone expected.

Link walked off the court and wiped the sweat off his body.

Qiaogel came over with a tactical board in his hand with a nervous look on his face. It was obvious that even he did not expect this situation.

"Defend one-on-one, defend one-on-one resolutely! We can no longer give them easy three-point opportunities, don't give them space!"

As Qiao Geer spoke, he picked up the tactical board and wrote and drew.

At this time, everyone's eyes on the Grizzlies team suddenly fell on Link.

Obviously, it was Qiaogel, not Link, who was arranging tactics at this time.

But defending one on one, that means...

Link may have to face Antetokounmpo one-on-one without the support of his teammates next!

Even for Link, this is definitely a challenge.

Link looked at his teammates who were more nervous than him and smiled at them: "Don't worry, I can handle it. Listen to the coach and take good care of your own people."

Link's tone was very calm, as if the Grizzlies were leading by 12 points.

His calmness also made his teammates calm down.

I don't know why, but as long as Link is here, no matter how unfavorable the Grizzly Bear's situation is, the others won't panic.

Link is the anchor of the Grizzlies. Sometimes all it takes is a smile and Link can calm the team down instantly.

The pause was very short. Joger had just drawn a few tactics before the game started again.

Link stood up and turned to look at Antetokounmpo, who was excited on the other side.

That sentence is true, in the playoffs, the competition is with the superstars!

The Detroit Pistons back then were just a special case.

Spurs? Although the Spurs play team basketball, do you dare to say that the Spurs don't have superstars? GDP was not a vegetarian when it won the championship.

Now, it's finally time for the ultimate showdown with Antetokounmpo.

"The game has restarted, and the defending champion is now in a very bad situation. In the first two games, the Grizzlies went on a killing spree at FedEx Arena, but today, the situation took a turn for the worse. Teams that can reach the finals are by no means ordinary. Let's see if the Grizzlies can get the score back after this timeout."

Mike Breen stared at the court nervously. Today's game really started with a climax.

The Grizzlies restarted, with a 12-point deficit weighing heavily on them, leaving no room for survival.

In this attack, when Conley came up with the ball, Link hurried up and set a screen for him.

But the purpose of the screen this time is not for Conley, but to make it easier for Link to cut in.

After all, four people are crowded together, and it is naturally impossible for Antetokounmpo to stick to Link.

After the screen, Link immediately cuts inside!

But Antetokounmpo also caught up immediately and did not give Link much space.

In this case, unless Conley directly receives the ball, it will be difficult to pass the ball in.

But then again, alley-ooping in front of Antetokounmpo... isn't that asking for trouble.

Conley was also a little hesitant. Antetokounmpo's air defense ability is beyond doubt, and even Link would have difficulty taking advantage.

But Link still pointed to the top of his head, signaling Conley to catch the pass!

And, let him pass as far back as possible.

Conley had no choice but to choose trust.

So, after a pick-and-roll, Conley passed a high ball to Link.

Antetokounmpo stares at the basketball, preparing to intercept it directly from the air!

Alley-oop with your own defense? What are you thinking! What he is least afraid of is high-altitude balls!

But when Antetokounmpo stretched out his exaggerated long arms and jumped up hard, he realized that he couldn't get the basketball at all.

This ball was passed too high. If he couldn't even get it, it would be even less possible for Link to get it!

Watching the basketball fall backwards, Antetokounmpo also turned his head to look at Link.

Link jumped up immediately, but just as Antetokounmpo expected, there was no way Link could catch the ball!

Seeing the basketball pass over Link's fingertips and begin to fall, Antetokounmpo was secretly proud. Under his defense, Conley missed the pass.

The Bucks can continue to expand the score!

But at this moment, Link leaned back in the air, reached his arms diagonally behind him, and held the basketball that had started to fall backwards.

Antetokounmpo's eyes widened. Could it be that Link wanted to catch the ball like this from the beginning?

Instead of catching the ball at the highest point, you deliberately wait for the basketball to fall before catching it?

This guy is so bold!

Link held the basketball with one hand and pushed it gently, sending the ball toward the basket as if shooting with one hand.

This shot seemed like... an alley-oop fadeaway jumper!

Link's movements in the air were very soft and relaxed. Although he only touched the ball once in the air, Link's control of the ball was still excellent.

With this incredible move, the basketball fell steadily into the net, and the Grizzlies finally broke their scoring drought.

Link's alley-oop fadeaway jumper was successful.

"In, it's a very bold attempt. You can do so many tricks in the alley-oop, you are worthy of Link!"

When Mike Breen yelled, the fans in the Bradley Center opened their mouths.

Alley-oop fadeaway, what the hell is this magical move! ?

Not to mention the fans, even Conley, who was feeding Link the ball, was shocked.

If Link hadn't insisted on that ball just now, Conley would never have passed it. In the words of Wei Bryant: "This ball is unreasonable!"

Conley didn't expect that Link could score the ball in such an incredible way.

Antetokounmpo's face is full of black lines. When Link starts to score, the game is destined to start to be difficult.

At a critical moment, Link stood up as the team leader and broke the scoring drought.

Although the score difference is still 10 points, at least the Grizzlies have stopped their decline.

After the goal, Link glanced at Antetokounmpo and seemed to want to say something, but ultimately did not speak.

It's not time to trash talk each other yet.

After the score is evened, let's just say a few words.

Explode the opponent's mentality first, and everything will become easier.

But Link also knew that the goal he just scored was just a warm-up.

The next one-on-one with Antetokounmpo on the defensive end is the real difficulty today.
