Five Hundred and Five: The Same Nightmare

Owen and Dion Waiters felt hot with both hands, which made the game a little more suspense that should not exist.

At the end of the third quarter, Kelly Irving let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this time, he and his team were not killed by the Grizzlies in three quarters.

80 to 83, the Grizzlies entered the fourth quarter with only a 3-point advantage.

Although losing the lead, for the Knights, as long as they are not completely killed, there is a chance to win.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 5 points. At halftime, the Grizzlies tied the score. After the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by 3 points.

The game was intense, with Irving and Waiters clinging to the score with their unreasonable goals again and again. Complemented by C.J. Miles and Alonzo Key's three-pointers, the Cavaliers were stunned to fight to the end with the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have been playing steadily, Link didn't take everything, and the others didn't leave it alone. In short, no matter how you play, I will follow my rhythm. From the scene, the Grizzlies played more mediocre than the Cavaliers.

Therefore, although they have to enter the fourth quarter with a 3-point disadvantage, the young Cavaliers are still full of confidence.

They thought that if they could persist in three quarters without being knocked down by the mighty Grizzlies, they could still win.

But in Link and Stevens' view, it's not difficult to knock them down in the fourth quarter.

"The efficiency of those two little guys was lower than the quarter. They attacked too hard at the beginning. As their physical strength declined, they started to strike all kinds of irons without knowing it. In the fourth quarter, I believe their touch will be Cool down further. Link, show your shot consistency."

Stevens looked at the data of the three quarters, and the shooting percentages of Irving and Waiters declined quarter by quarter.

And what about the Grizzlies? After three quarters, the hit rate was almost unchanged, and the defense was equally solid.

Why do some teams obviously have good configuration, but they can't get results. And some teams seem to be mediocre, but they can always occupy a playoff seat?

To put it bluntly, it is a question of stability.

If you can only win once in a while, even if you win the league first, it doesn't make sense. But if you can accumulate wins steadily, even if you occasionally lose to the bottom of the league, you can get a good ranking.

Link wiped the sweat from his body,

To be honest, the game was very easy today. Although the score was very anxious, he personally felt quite relaxed.

Because Link knew very well that this anxiety was just "false anxiety". Once the Grizzlies seize the opportunity, the Cavaliers are gone. So, the whole game is actually very Buddhist.

After three quarters, Link scored 18 points. On the other hand, Owen's current personal score is a full 10 points more than Link's!

It is clear at a glance who consumes more.

Now, here's your chance. And Link is also ready to start exerting his strength.

In the cheers of the Grizzlies fans, the fourth quarter final battle finally began. This time, it was finally the Grizzlies' turn to go first.

Link deliberately stood beside Irving when Conley dribbled the ball over halftime. Irving didn't watch Link, whether it was because he was focused on defense or because he didn't want to. After all, the last time he and Link faced off against each other, he lost really badly.

But even so, Owen still did not escape Link's "claw". I saw Link put his hands on his knees, bent down, and said lightly, "Have you forgotten the fear of being ruled by me so quickly?"

As soon as Owen heard it, he felt a chill on the back of his spine! But before I had time to think about it, Conley was already in control of the ball!

Link happened to be standing next to Owen, so he took advantage of the situation and gave Conley a cover.

Conley didn't hesitate, he slammed the ball. Irving couldn't get around the screen, so Alonzo Key had to switch to Conley.

Seeing this, Conley passed the ball back to Link without thinking. Owen was sweating profusely and opened his arms!

This is the first time today that Link and Owen are dislocated!

"Don't be nervous, Kelly. This time you can beat him, this time you can win..." Irving gave himself a boost as he put on a defensive stance.

What about Link? Calm down. At this time, Link is in the position between the three-point line and the free throw line, and shooting from this distance is the most "cost-effective". Because a step back can turn into a 3, and a step in can make it a little easier to shoot.

Therefore, Irving believes that Link has a high probability of not shooting here. So when Link was making a tentative move, Owen put Link a little distance away.

Seeing Owen Ju and then taking a half step back, Link pulled it straight up and shot!

Link's shot was very determined, as if there was no defense in front of him at all.

Irving paid the price for his wrong judgment. For a player like Link who started his career by shooting jumpers, he can shoot anywhere, and there is no such thing as "value for money".

Owen reached out desperately to block it, but even he knew how feeble such interference was.

"Brush!" The basketball hollowed into the net, and Link's mid-range shot was as stable as a machine! As long as there is a little space, it is a goal!

With just one understatement shot, Link reminded Irving of the unbearable experience more than half a month ago.

Link's personal score reached 20 points, while also extending the Grizzlies' advantage to 5 points. Stability, that's how Link and the Grizzlies won today!

"What's your expression? Do you want to give up? Damn it, let's get back all the points we lost!" Waiters walked past the stunned Owen with an angry look on his face.

Irving clenched his fists. Have you ever seen a teammate spamming trash on the court? Irving really can't stand Waiters.

But Waiters also reminded Irving that it doesn't matter if the defense fails. Because today, the foothold of the Cavaliers is to attack and score!

That's right, just take back the points you lost and you're done.

Irving struggled to keep his composure and struggled as the Grizzlies fans shouted "defense" and felt the wooden floor vibrate.

The uphill stretch here is not a metaphor, as Conley has been tangled up with Irving near the midfield line.

In the first three quarters, Conley actually didn't show any strength. Because Irving can still score goals even when you're on a high level. In the first three quarters, Irving scored a lot of unreasonable goals.

But now, increasing the intensity when Irving's shooting percentage starts to decline will undoubtedly further reduce his offensive stability.

With Zeller and Thompson on double screens, the Cavaliers actually don't have much of an offensive system, because others can't play a big role on the offensive end. If you insist on the offensive system, it is Irving and Waiters singles.

So, seeing Irving in trouble, the first reaction of the rest of the Cavaliers was to help him out.

Irving struggled to get rid of Conley through a screen, but as soon as he came out, he encountered Iguodala who came from the defense.

Randolph and Pau Gasol did not keep up to defend, but Iguodala stepped forward to respond!

"Ball!" Waiters took the opportunity to come out and waved at Owen. Waiters couldn't be happier to see Owen in trouble. Now, it's time for him to prove his worth!

Irving was afraid of delaying the offense, and thought that if Iguodala released Waiters, Waiters should be an open opportunity. So, reluctantly, Irving passed the ball.

"Fuck, it's a hoot!" Waiters secretly complained when he received the ball, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the "big devil" Link in front of him.

"It's been a long time, it's enough ink!" Link replied to Waiters.

"Kelly is afraid of you, but I'm not afraid." Waiters patronized and fought with Link, but ignored Alonzo Key, who was temporarily in the vacancy. By the time Waiters found out, Conley had already blocked Alonzo Key.

Byron Scott almost didn't get pissed to death. Waiters was only in the first year, and his tumor attribute was so strong!

Although he failed to pass the ball the first time, Waiters was not upset. Anyway, singles are his favorite thing to do.

If he has beaten someone Irving can't beat, doesn't this prove that he is more powerful than Irving?

Waiters began to alternately dribble the ball outside the three-point line, and then used a quick stop to force a breakthrough.

I have to admit that Waiters is still very talented. To be selected fourth overall as the sixth man in college, it just shows that this guy is awe-inspiring.

But the last thing Link is afraid of is the top iron player. Westbrook's talent is better than Waiters. But he is a tough guy, and he basically suffers once he beats the Grizzlies.

Waiters jumped for a layup without throwing Link away. He may have thought that he could play Link around with a simple emergency stop.

When Link saw Waiters take off, he took two big steps and made a force!

Waiters, who just threw the basketball, only felt that there was no light in the basket. Looking at the big hand covering the top of his head, Waiters found that he was actually a little scared.

Now, he knew why Owen was afraid of Link. The pressure brought by this Grizzly 0 is something Waiters has never encountered before.

The next second, the basketball made a crisp sound, and then slammed into the backboard.

Nail board big hat!

Waiters turned around in panic after landing, only to see Link shrugged, "Too ink."

The bounced basketball was caught by Conley, who immediately found Andre Iguodala who was running towards the front court as soon as he got the ball.

After more than half of the season, Iguodala and everyone have a tacit understanding. Now as long as Link takes off and chases, Iguodala's first reaction is to run towards the front court.

Therefore, when Waiters was still in a daze, when Irving had just turned over, and when Alonzo Key was still looking for his matchup, Iguodala had already received the basketball in the frontcourt.

All the Grizzlies fans held their breath, the Grizzlies' best dunk is going to bomb the rim!

Iguodala did not disappoint the fans. In the unguarded fast break, he ended the offense with a beautiful back dunk, extending the point difference to 7 points!

Link stood there and applauded Iguodala, while Owen and Waiters looked at each other.

This time, this pair of teammates who are fighting between open and secret battles finally have a similarity.

They both had the same nightmare, the guy in the Grizzlies' No. 0 jersey that silenced the two guards in an instant.

In front of the "big devil", Owen and Waiters seem to be unable to jump up.
