Jr Smith couldn't stop Link at all, which was Mike Woodson's biggest headache today.

No way, two premature fouls by Ronnie Brewer and Carmelo Anthony left Mike Woodson with only Jr Smith as an option. On Novak? I'm afraid the effect is not much better than jr.

After the start of the second quarter, JR had been punched by Link countless times. This time the attack was also the same. Link didn't even need a pick-and-roll. After a few tentative steps, he suddenly accelerated and was half a position ahead of Jr Smith.

jr smith is an excellent offensive player, but the defense is really not mature enough.

After Link made a breakthrough, Rasheed Wallace, who was head iron, moved to the basket again. If you think that "Roaring Tianzun" has become gentle because of age, you are wrong. This season's Wallace is still fierce. The NBA record for the fastest ejection for taking two technical fouls in 85 seconds is precisely from Wallace's hands this season.

Seeing Wallace coming towards him with all his teeth and claws, Link hit the ground and sent the ball to Zach Randolph.

Randolph didn't have a mid-range shot or post up. This season's lean guy took a big step forward after receiving the basketball. He wanted to attack the frame directly!

"No no, Wallace, no!" Seeing this, Mike Woodson muttered to himself off the court, but it was useless. The next second, Rasheed Wallace rudely blocked Randolph. Then, the referee blew the whistle and the New York Knicks fouled again!

"You call this a foul? God, let's just go and play wnba!" The moment the referee's whistle blew. Rasheed Wallace was not calm, he immediately yelled at the referee, showing the true character of "Roaring Heavenly Venerate".

But no matter how loud Tianzun roared, he couldn't change the referee's decision. Randolph and Link gave a light high-five, then walked to the free throw line.

Mike Woodson became devastated at this time, he was completely overwhelmed by General Grizzly!

At that moment, the reason why Randolph did not shoot after receiving the ball but chose to confront Wallace head-on was not because Randolph wanted to be aggressive. But because after the foul just now, Rasheed Wallace's fouls have accumulated to 3 times!

3 fouls in a single quarter, only Rasheed Wallace has this ability.

Rasheed Wallace has been very excited since he was hit 2+1 by Link at the beginning of the second quarter. But he didn't expect that the more excited he was, the more Grizzlies players would look for him.

After that, Link repeatedly broke through JR Smith to find Wallace, making him a second foul. It was Link's breakthrough just now that attracted Wallace's defense, but it was Randolph who made the foul.

Overall, the entire second quarter, Jr Smith and Wallace, are completely the two black holes of the Knicks on the defensive end.

Stevens sat on the bench and his plan was executed very, very successfully. By the second half, the Knicks will be crushed!

From the free throw line, Randolph made his first free throw. After the first free throw, the Knicks began to make substitutions. Mike Woodson had to bring the 40-year-old veteran Kurt Thomas to the Knicks' rotation plan, which was cut to pieces by too many fouls.

Kurt Thomas is known for his high-level defense, and was once used to defend Duncan, Yao Ming, O'Neal and other super insiders.

But now 40-year-old Thomas, his physical condition is not as good as it was then. He relies more on experience on the defensive end, but experience doesn't cover all problems. Putting Thomas on the court is undoubtedly a dangerous move.

But Woodson couldn't help it. He couldn't prevent Link's breakthrough, and he couldn't contain the rising number of fouls.

Randolph also hit the second free throw. At this time, with only 3 minutes left before the end of the second quarter, the Memphis Grizzlies led by 6 points!

Anthony has begun to feel unbalanced, and he feels that the referee's whistle is a big problem today. It is unreasonable for the team to get into foul trouble early on!

Anthony didn't realize,

How big of a move the Knicks are today. The smell of gunpowder blinded his sense of smell, and anger blinded his eyes.

When the Knicks attacked again, Anthony found that the offensive space became extremely narrow. After Rasheed Wallace went off the court, the Knicks instantly lost an offensive threat point.

Randolph can now stay on the edge of the penalty area with impunity, waiting for jr and Anthony to throw themselves into the net!

As an insider with a height of only 2.05 meters, Kurt Thomas has always been his killer shot, which is also his main scoring method.

But to the 40-year-old Thomas, he said that the force of various parts of his body is uneven, so the precise mid-range shot of that hand is also greatly reduced.

On offense, Kurt Thomas all but disappeared.

In the end, Anthony bite the bullet and attacked the frame, but under the double interference of Iguodala and Randolph, Anthony missed again!

Anthony couldn't be more angry, he didn't want to see the game ended like this. So after he missed a layup, Anthony relentlessly wanted to fight for offensive rebounds.

So the New York No. 7 pushed Andre Iguodala, who was stuck in front of him, and jumped up to grab the rebound.

But as soon as the rebound was in hand, Anthony heard the disturbing whistle again.

"Rebounding foul, Grizzlies possession!"

The referee shouted at the technical platform and made a penalty. This time, the Knicks players on the court quit and rushed to the referee to defend Anthony.

On the bench, Mike Woodson and Ronnie Brewer also shouted to question the referee's decision.

Carmelo Anthony himself scolded, because if this ball is called a foul, he will be fouled three times like Kurt Thomas!

Three fouls before halftime is over, which is too dangerous for the team's top card.

Just as Anthony was greeting the referee with a word beginning with f, Link floated beside Anthony.

Anthony didn't want to pay attention to Link until Link said something to him, "This is Memphis, the New Yorkers don't care. You said before the game that I was dead, so now, do you see your situation clearly?

Anthony's veins suddenly burst out, this kid is too crazy!

Link smiled lightly at Anthony and ran forward, ready to start the next attack.

Anthony's expression just now convinced Link that the guy was on the verge of collapse.

A few minutes later, the second quarter ended. 59-49, the Memphis Grizzlies led the Eastern Conference record team by 10 points in just two quarters.

Mike Woodson was sweating profusely at this time, and if he was just 10 points behind, there was nothing to be nervous about. After all, the Knicks still have a full half to turn things around.

The real headache for Mike Woodson is the number of fouls committed by the players. He'd rather be a few more points behind than get his players into foul crisis.

Therefore, Mike Woodson had to emphasize to the players in the locker room at halftime, "In the second half of the game, you must pay attention to your movements! We have too many unnecessary fouls, and those fouls not only make the opponent go to the free throw line, but also It may cause our lineup to become incomplete! In the second half, please be careful!"

On the other hand, Stevens responded, "Well done guys, the Knicks are fouling one after the other, that's exactly what we want! They want to play dirty, and that's the consequence! Second half, Knicks The team will definitely be intimidated! So, let's step up our offense!"

After speaking, Stevens sat next to Link and whispered a few words to him alone.

"The Knicks are scared of you, and your tactics were executed beautifully in the second quarter."

"Hey, JR's defense is too weak." Link waved his hand.

"You heard me just now, we have to pull the score in the third quarter. So, I need you to take more shots. I know it sounds crazy, but do you want to end the game in three quarters?"

"Ah?" Link turned his head to look at Stevens in surprise. Some people appeared to be gentle, but in fact their hands were black.
