One Hundred and Thirty Eight: Nightmare Continues
The moment Link scored, the FedEx Arena, which had been stunned for the entire game, erupted like a volcanic eruption.
People say that the Grizzlies, who focus on defense and positional offense, have little enthusiasm, but in fact, FedEx Arena has always been one of the most lively home stadiums in the league.
"Adjust your breathing Link, you must be steady!"
After hugging Link, Conley yelled. It's not that he has any dissatisfaction with Link, but that the noisy scene has completely stimulated the adrenaline of these men.
Link nodded, high fives with all his teammates, and then stood on the free throw line in full view.
Carmelo Anthony is more nervous than Link now. The attack time is less than 15 seconds. If Link makes a free throw, the Knicks will have to chase 5 points in 15 seconds! There is no doubt that this is a very difficult thing to do. Now the Knicks have only one timeout, even with foul tactics, it is difficult to recover the score.
A minute ago, the New York Knicks, holding a two-point advantage, were infinitely close to winning. But now, they are suddenly infinitely close to the bottom. Perhaps the charm of the basketball game lies in this.
Link received a pass from the referee. He first clamped the basketball around his waist, then took a deep breath to adjust his heartbeat.
At the same time, the stadium, which was extremely noisy just now, was instantly quiet. Memphis fans created an extremely quiet free throw environment for Link, lest he be distracted at all.
Link slapped the ball twice, took the ball and turned it around in the palm of his hand, then bent his knees, lifted the ball above his head, raised his center of gravity, and shot!
Anthony ran to the basket the moment Link shot, and he may have never wanted to protect the rebound so much in his life. But Link's shot didn't give the Knicks a chance to protect the rebound, because the basketball went directly into the net!
"Go in! Link made a free throw, and the Memphis Grizzlies gained a 5-point lead in the last 14.6 seconds of the game! There is no doubt that this was a free throw enough to establish the victory! Link was suppressed by Anthony the whole game, but he was the key Moment did not lose confidence! He bravely shouldered the responsibility and was very smart to hit Anthony with a three-pointer! Link now has 19 points, although it is 12 points less than Anthony, but if the Grizzlies win If so, his 19 points are more valuable than Anthony's 31 points!"
Hubie Brown's heartbeat finally calmed down. The head coach of an NBA team is a position with particularly high demands on the heart. Because in some scenes, the head coach is completely on a "roller coaster". This was also the reason why Hubie Brown, who was not very healthy at the time, chose to retire.
But commenting on the Grizzlies this season, Hubie Brown feels the same feeling he had when he coached the game back.
D'Antoni used his final timeout after Link hit a free throw, and his team led the night before collapsing in the final minutes. I have to say, Mike Conley's performance exceeded D'Antoni's expectations.
People only saw Link's last three-pointer, but they forgot Conley's selfless pass at the last moment. He gave Link the chance to be a hero, but the Grizzlies almost got the win.
This kind of point guard...where can I find it?
D'Antoni shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He began to arrange the tactics of the team's last attack, but the cloth did not arrange everyone knows that the Knicks' last attack must be carried out by Anthony.
Anthony sat on the bench with his fists clenched. A minute ago, he was thinking about how he would humiliate Link in front of reporters after the game and pretend to be coercive. But now, he is thinking about how to keep his face. Seeing, he is going to lose in Memphis again!
If the Knicks lose the game again today because of Link's key ball,
It is estimated that Anthony's nightmare will not dissipate for a while. In the future, in New York until the early morning, it is estimated that the Chinese face will appear in Anthony's mind from time to time.
This Nima is terrible!
This time during the timeout, Anthony didn't listen to anything, and only heard the electronic beep.
As soon as the buzzer sounded, Anthony stepped onto the court. 14.6 seconds, 5 minutes, he still has a chance to create miracles!
But at this time, the momentum of the game has been firmly in the hands of the Grizzlies. Especially after Link scored the key goal of 21 just now, the Grizzlies team was even more morale.
They're ready to go on strangling New Yorkers.
"Continue to defend firmly, we are close to victory!"
Conley continued to call the shots, and he was undoubtedly the Grizzlies' most vocal player today. Others might ignore Conley, but Grizzlies players know that without him, the Grizzlies would be over.
The morale-boosting Grizzlies pushed their grind and strangulation to the max, and when the game resumed, the Knicks were too caught off guard. Link wrapped around Anthony like candy, and Anthony didn't even have the space to comfortably catch the ball.
Seeing that the basketball was delayed, D'Antoni the mustache was sweating profusely. He has no time-outs, and if the sideline is overtime and violated, the ball belongs directly to the Grizzlies.
In the end, Jared Jeffreys passed the basketball one second before the violation. Anthony received the ball, but the others were already forced by Link to near the center circle.
After being closely guarded until now, Anthony is also tired, and it is difficult for him to break through Link purely by his explosiveness.
Link, on the other hand, became more and more courageous. His pressing defense against Anthony was almost on the verge of fouling.
Stoudemire put on cover for Anthony, but this still did not stop Link. Link flexibly bypassed the "little bully" and continued to stay by Anthony's side.
Anthony, who broke through to the mid-range, took off and shot, but this time, Link was too tight on his defense. Under the serious interference of Link, Anthony's shot hit the iron for the third time in a row!
"Bang!" The crisp sound of hammering made Anthony feel hopeless. At the critical moment, he was blocked by Link and made 0 of 3 shots, and he also suffered a big blow, which completely dissipated his superstar aura today.
Seeing Anthony miss a key shot, the mustache coach of the Knicks slumped to the bench. It's over, it's over.
After that, although the Knicks adopted foul tactics, they were unable to regain time or the advantage. The high-spirited Memphis Grizzlies won't let victory slip through their fingers, and they won't let go easily once they bite the bullet.
In the last 1.3 seconds of the game, Mike Conley made two free throws to give the Grizzlies a 7-point lead over the Knicks. At that moment, Anthony walked straight off the court. He's been preparing for this for so long, he even went to training ahead of time to stay in shape. He thought that he would be able to take his revenge perfectly today, and let everyone see what kind of rubbish Link is.
The results of it? The King of New York could only leave in despair. He's in Memphis and doesn't have a crown. This guy underestimated the Grizzlies' determination to grind and strangle.
"Beep~~~~"
The electronic buzzer sounded, 112 to 105, and the Memphis Grizzlies resisted the Knicks' powerful firepower by 7 points. At the same time, it also broke the fairy tale of Anthony's victory after entering the Knicks.
The villains from Memphis personally tore up Anthony's honeymoon period for the Knicks.
After the game, at the critical moment, Anthony made 0 of 3 shots and killed Link with a 3-pointer, which became a favorite in the eyes of the media.
He scored 19 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds today. His performance is actually quite good, but it is still a little different from Anthony Buddha's 31 points in blocking and killing Buddha.
However, because of the highlight performance at critical moments, people only remember Link now. Anthony? He's turned into the brightest...background!
"Link, beat Cameron again and killed the game on his head, how do you feel!?" The reporters seemed to be more excited than Link. A grassroots ended the seemingly unstoppable Knicks. dramatic enough.
Facing the cameras of reporters, Link was not overwhelmed with joy. He turned to his side and pointed to Conley behind him, who was only being interviewed by a few reporters.
"If you're going to interview the player who killed the game today, interview him."
That rational person deserves more praise from people.
