Five Hundred and Fourteen: Death Is Very Busy

Kanter was stunned when the electronic buzzer sounded at the end of the first quarter.

With 4 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, Kanter handed over this data after only 4 minutes of play in the first quarter. In fact, his performance has been very good.

But also, in just 4 minutes, he encountered a block and a dunk from Link...

After being detained by Link, Kanter's whole mentality collapsed. I kept saying ruthless words there, but when people came up, they just said ruthlessly.

Before the game, Kanter also clamored to let Link have a taste in the penalty area. As a result, the first time Link hit the basket guarded by Kanter, he dunked directly.

There is no doubt that this blow to Kante's self-confidence is devastating.

"Ines, why are you standing still? Come down!"

On the sidelines, Kante came to his senses when he heard the shouting of head coach Tyrone Corbin.

Luckily this is Salt Lake City, the Energy Solutions Arena. If this were in Memphis, the big screen would probably replay Kanter's dunk over and over again.

At that time, Kanter is crying and no one cares.

That's the way the NBA is, where you have to deal with all kinds of pressure.

"I played well in the first quarter. Let's rest for a while." Tyrone Corbin didn't say anything to Kanter. He knew that now Kanter can only adjust his emotions by himself.

Kanter nodded slightly, then sat down on the bench. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would recall the scene of being locked by Link.

Thinking of being so aggressively provocative before the game and being cleaned up so badly in the game, Kante feels ashamed!

After a while of depression, the Turk finally lifted his head. It can't just end like this, today's game can't just end like this!

He didn't want to be humiliated, and waited and watched the game calmly.

In any case, Kanter decided that he would make Link suffer a loss today! He wants to let the yellow-skinned guy know that he is not a soft persimmon that he can pinch!

On the other side, the Grizzlies bench, Stevens is more relaxed than Tyrone Corbin.

After the first quarter,

The score was 29-21, with the Grizzlies leading by eight.

Although halfway through, the Jazz have resisted several times, and almost wiped out the advantage established by the Grizzlies.

But every time the Jazz was about to take off, Link would use his crazy performances to suppress the Jazz's morale.

"We won the first quarter, but the next three quarters are still going according to plan. The Jazz will not take the initiative to raise the white flag unless we help them raise the white flag. Link, you continue to rest at the beginning of the second quarter. Wait for the results. Mature, I will send you to play again."

Stevens didn't say much, after all, now that the Grizzlies are ahead, he has little need to change his strategy.

The only question now is how to keep the Jazz's high spirits in check. As long as they don't get excited, the Grizzlies' game is sealed.

At the start of the second quarter, the Jazz switched back to the starting lineup. On the Grizzlies side, there is no Link and Conley.

In the first few minutes, the two sides fought back and forth. But things took a turn for the worse when Hayward and Millsap started scoring consecutive goals.

Hayward and Millsap have played a lot of duos, and with their solid shooting percentages, they can open up a lot of space for each other.

However, the Grizzlies' offense suddenly became misfired.

In an instant, the difference was only 2 points.

Originally, Stevens thought that as long as the point difference was widened to double digits, the game could basically be won.

But the willpower of the Jazz today is really amazing. Even if they were beaten so badly in the first quarter, the Jazz are still working hard towards victory.

Stevens had to stop the game, and Link stood up consciously.

He just destroyed Kanter's self-confidence, now, it's time to destroy the self-confidence of the entire Jazz.

"Damn it, Millsap's running range is too big!" Randolph threw the towel to the ground viciously after leaving the field.

Millsap is not a traditional 4. His offensive style of running around the court must have disrupted Randolph's rhythm.

"Okay Zach, don't be mad. Millsap is just shooting on time. Then you can focus on the defense and kill him. Leave the offense to me."

Link patted the big black bear on the shoulder, the Jazz had just played a superb team attack.

But next, Link will show them what a real scorer is.

The timeout was over, and when Jazz fans found out that Link was back in action, their hearts raced.

On the bench, Kanter gritted his teeth. He really hoped that his teammates could continue to maintain the state and kill the guy's spirit.

However, as soon as the game started after the suspension came back, Link scored a goal.

This shot Conley had already broken through to a deep position, but both Millsap and Jefferson shrunk back in time.

Conley can only choose to pass the ball, which can be passed to Randolph and Gasol, and the space is not enough. So, Conley had to change the ball to Link, who was standing beyond the three-point line.

Link rushed forward as soon as he received the ball, and Hayward hurried back. Now is a critical period for the Jazz to chase points. He doesn't want to let his efforts just come to nothing.

However, Link made a sudden stop and retreated after halfway through, making a successful jumper before Hayward could react.

All the Jazz players are staring at the basketball. Could it be that this guy will interrupt the momentum of the Jazz when he comes back?

It turns out that it is!

Link's emergency stop and step-back jumper made a precise hit, and the Jazz were 2 points away from tying the game. As soon as Link came up, they shattered their hopes!

Tyrone Corbin covered his forehead in annoyance. This was the case every time. He finally saw hope, but was extinguished by Link.

Link, Link, Link, Tyrone Corbyn is now full of Link. That No. 0 is like a death god with a scythe. Once he appears, there is no hope!

This time, it's not just the players. Even Tyrone Corbin, a coach, could feel how strong Link's sense of oppression was.

"Keep playing steadily, keep scoring!" Corbin shouted in the field, he was afraid that he could, but he couldn't make the players afraid.

Thus, Hayward and Millsap began a superb duo cooperation.

Millsap set up a pick-and-roll for Hayward, and when Hayward broke through, he passed the ball back to Millsap who was standing high.

Millsap feinted a shot after receiving the ball, and then made a breakthrough. Randolph's footsteps are not fast, and he was deceived by the fake shot just now, so he was completely thrown off by Millsap.

Sudden to the middle distance, Millsap is ready to make a pull-up jumper! Despite being a 4, Millsap can shoot in a variety of situations.

But this time, Millsap didn't get an easy shot. Because after he stopped, he saw that Link was rushing towards him desperately!

"Damn!" Millsap hesitated, not knowing whether he should vote or not. And this hesitation made Millsap miss the best opportunity!

Millsap seldom hesitated, and he was resolute on offense.

Unless, he ran into an opponent that was enough to make him panic.

Millsap was forced to a standstill, and Link used his aggressive running to eliminate open space opportunities.

"Death" is very difficult to be, but if it really makes the other party afraid, the effect is also very good.

With the lessons of Mo Williams and Kanter, everyone on the Jazz is now afraid of being taken by Link.

Millsap finally chose to pass the ball to Jefferson, but Gasol Jr. took a sudden step, straightened his arms, and stole the basketball.

The Jazz didn't keep scoring, and the Jazz didn't even have an offensive core when faced with tricky situations.

Just after Link made a backside jumper, this time, Hayward scored with a post up.

The Grizzlies' scoring drought just disappeared in an instant, and the score difference returned to 6 points. Once again, the Jazz who were ready to take off were brutally suppressed by Link.

Tyrone Corbin, who was standing on the sidelines, sat back on the bench and failed again and again, which seemed to make him very frustrated.

The stand behind him was also terribly quiet. Every Salt Lake City fan stared blankly, and they all seemed to anticipate a problem at the same time.

As long as Link is around, the Jazz don't even think about turning over!

Halfway through the second quarter, Kanter went back into battle. As a result, he was originally eager for revenge, and he was almost knocked down by Link on the first defense.

In this offense, Link deliberately called the pick-and-roll just after the midfield line, the purpose of which was to let Kante dislocate himself to defend himself.

Then in the matchup with Kanter, Link made two consecutive emergency stops, which made Kanter's feet soft and lost his center of gravity!

Kante simply didn't fall directly, but just stumbled. Otherwise, he would have "performed wonderfully" today.

This time, Link not only softened Kante's feet, but completely softened him.

Now the Turks know that players like Link can't be provoked if they want to. If you continue to entangle with him today, you will only ask for trouble.

After this goal, Link widened the difference to 10 points.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

After Link destroyed the Jazz's hopes time and time again, now, the Jazz have lost hope.

Under the scythe of death, there is never hope.
