Five Hundred and Twenty-Three: He Is God
With 18 seconds left in the first quarter, J.r. Smith held the ball from beyond the arc to face a grim Tony Allen.
As the No. 1 player in sixth-man predictions this season, j.r.'s offense is unquestionable. Averaged 18.1 points per game, a career high! You know, J.R. Smith during the Nuggets' season, the highest scoring season was only 15.4 points.
So even though Tony Allen is one of the league's best perimeter defense specialists, j.r. isn't afraid. He made two moves from the 3-point line and suddenly accelerated!
Tony Allen naturally wouldn't let J.r. break through easily, he immediately posted it to block the opponent's breakthrough route. Tony Allen's reaction was almost at the speed of light. No one knew how he did it, but he was able to kill the opponent's scoring opportunity in the first place.
However, J.r. Smith was stunned to make a pull-up jumper under the tight pressure of Tony Allen!
Don't forget, j.r. isn't the type of offensive player to play by the rules. Most of his moves are unreasonable.
Under Tony Allen's near-perfect blocking, J.r.'s mid-range shot was still in.
Mike Woodson sat back on the bench after seeing the basketball in the net and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the entry, otherwise, the Knicks may lose miserably!
That's right, after seeing j.r. Smith scoring, Mike Woodson's first reaction was not joy, but joy!
Because after the j.r. goal, the Knicks are still 5 points behind the Grizzlies! 30 to 25, the Grizzlies scored 30 points in a single quarter, disgracing the Knicks, who lived on offense. J.r.'s last-minute shot saved the Knicks a bit of face.
Thinking of this, Woodson couldn't help but turn his attention to the Grizzlies bench. At this time, Link was resting and looked very calm.
But Woodson knew that the guy had fire on his hands today!
In the first quarter, Link scored 15 points in a single quarter! 4 for 4 3-pointers! After Link made three consecutive three-pointers in the middle of the first quarter, he scored one more before going off the court.
In addition to the three-pointer, Link also sent out brilliant passes many times today, with 4 assists in a single quarter! You could say that Link held up the Grizzlies' first-quarter offense!
Therefore, even if Woodson sent a two-gun lineup of Anthony and J.R., it would not be able to compete with the Grizzlies.
the entire first section,
The Knicks lived under Link's terrifying firepower. So, when J.r. made what should have been a thrilling shot, the Knicks' bench was surprisingly calm.
In the last 2.3 seconds of the first quarter, Vasquez failed to make a three-pointer from a long distance, and the game was over.
Woodson immediately called everyone off the court. The first quarter was barely alive, but Woodson now has no idea what he will experience in the second quarter.
"Keep pressing on Link in the second quarter, his hot touch will always be cut off. Maybe, after a few minutes of rest, his touch will have been cut off! You also saw his performance in the first half, We must never let him find that feeling again!"
Woodson shouted nervously, Anthony and J.R. Smith's performance in the first quarter was actually pretty good. They're efficient, and they're killing the Grizzlies in the paint.
But that's what worries Woodson. Anthony and J.R. Smith are both playing so well that the Knicks are still behind.
This is not a good sign.
On the Grizzlies side, the players were also actively preparing for the second half. Before coming out, Link stood up and asked everyone to put their shoulders on their shoulders and form a circle.
"We're on a two-game losing streak, guys. One more loss is unbearable. So today, we have only one goal, knock them out! 1, 2, 3, Grizzlies!"
"Grizzly!"
With the shouting like a rainbow, the Grizzlies players stepped back into the court. In terms of momentum, the Knicks at home are weaker.
The Knicks' starter in the second quarter was no longer the same as when it started, with J.r. Smith taking the place of veteran rookie Prigioni.
The Grizzlies also continued to play a small lineup, with Nick Young starting instead of Randolph.
If the Knicks want to attack, then have a good time!
In the second quarter, the Knicks took the lead in attacking. Thanks to the incredible goal from j.r. just now, the difference between the two sides is now only 5 points. There is no doubt that this offense is a good opportunity for the Knicks to close the score.
If the difference can be narrowed down to two points in one go, that would be the best.
Anthony was not greedy for merit this time, and Link was surprised to find that this guy was actually making a wedding dress for J.R. Smith.
Anthony pulled to the bottom corner on the right, the purpose was to open up space for J.r. Smith to avoid the interference of Link and others.
Against Iguodala's one-on-one defense, j.r. called a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, taking advantage of the environment where Iguodala was not sealed, he made a decisive jumper!
Another opportunity that is not considered an opportunity, but for the current j.r. Smith, as long as there is a little space, he dares to vote!
The basketball crossed Iguodala's fingers and the arc was very flat! But with this weird arc, the basketball finally hit the frame!
Seeing the basketball hit, Link really has no temper at all. It is really impossible to make a three-point frontal play.
"J.r. Smith has started. After continuing the difficult mid-range shot at the end of the first quarter, he hit a three-pointer as soon as the second quarter came up! The Knicks are approaching the score, and the Grizzlies don't think they are stable!"
J.r. Smith's 3-pointer revitalized Madison Square Garden, and the super-sixth man stepped up when the Knicks were at their most desperate.
But soon, everyone became nervous again. Because the god of death with a scythe approached the Knicks half court.
Mike Woodson took a fluke. Link went off to rest in the ninth minute of the first quarter. Counting the rest time between festivals, it has been a long time.
After being off the court for so long, it was difficult for Link to keep his fiery touch. Woodson believes that Link is unlikely to play the first quarter of the state of the game.
4 three-pointers in a single quarter, this is perverted enough, and Link can't do better.
But Link didn't believe in this evil, he really wanted to try it, and he felt in his hand whether there was any continuation.
So in the second quarter, the Grizzlies made the first attack, and Link was very active in asking for the ball.
Anthony's nerves suddenly became tense, and Link's terrible performance in the first quarter was still imprinted in his mind.
After Link received the basketball, Anthony immediately got close to him without any hesitation.
Link could only lower his center of gravity, put his head against Anthony's chest, and forcibly keep a distance from him.
Just when Anthony was still clinging to Link, Link suddenly took a step to the left.
Anthony immediately followed, but in the next second, he banged and collided with Iguodalaza solidly.
Pick and roll!
Link flashed Anthony through the pick-and-roll, then immediately made a jumper. Another quick shot from beyond the 3-point line after borrowing the pick-and-roll, the Grizzlies and Knicks seem to be addicted to 3-pointers.
But this time, J.r. Smith switched quickly, and he almost immediately raised his hand to block Link's shot.
Link felt that his hand was still good, but because of the interference, the shot timing seemed to be a little earlier.
Sure enough, the basketball finally hit the front of the basket. Link hit the iron for the first time after hitting 4 three-pointers in a row!
"Great!" Mike Woodson shouted excitedly, and Link's hand really cooled down! This time, the Knicks will launch a Jedi counterattack!
However, it wasn't long before the Knicks coaches and players were happy when Iguodala grabbed the long rebound.
J.r. Smith is not a player with a strong sense of rebound protection. When Iguodala grabbed the rebound, J.r. Smith was still thinking about how to fight back.
"Hey, the Knicks lost too many offensive rebounds today!" The local commentators clapped the table in annoyance. They managed to prevent the opponent's offense, but they were snatched off offensive rebounds. This is the most morale damage.
After Iguodala won the offensive rebound, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately passed the ball to Link again!
At this time, Link had already run to the right horn. He was inside the three-point line, but after thinking about it, he took a step back.
Link has to shoot a three-pointer!
This time, Link was left undisturbed, and his hand was still hot. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
The result, however, disappointed New Yorkers. Link's missed three-pointer just now was just an accident, because on his second attempt, he successfully scored!
The three points are in the middle, and the difference has returned to 5 points. At the same time, this is already Link's fifth three-pointer of the game!
"This..." Woodson was speechless, his good wishes lasted less than 20 seconds before he was ruthlessly broken by Link.
Feeling cold because of a few minutes of rest? nonexistent!
I thought this was the end of Link's crazy performance, but it was the beginning of Link's more crazy performance.
After this three-pointer, Link was out of control, leaving the Knicks in complete despair.
At the 10th minute and 34th second of the second quarter, Link suddenly made a three-pointer while on the move. He caught Anthony by surprise and made a three-pointer, the sixth three-pointer in a single game!
A minute later, at the 9th minute and 38th second of the second quarter, Conley pushed a fast break, hit the ground pass after halftime, and sent the ball to Link who was ambushed in the right bottom corner.
Faced with this kind of open shot, Link did not hesitate. He raised the knife and fell, and hit the three-pointer again!
7th three-pointer in a single game!
You know, before the first half is over, Link has already hit 7 three-pointers. It is only 3 points away from Anthony's record for the highest number of three-pointers in a single game!
After that, Link stopped for two minutes without scoring. But the Grizzlies' offense did not stagnate, and Link's offensive role was not just about scoring goals.
Two minutes later, in the 7th minute and 22nd second of the second quarter, Iguodala missed a three-pointer, and Link made a successful rebound and scored an offensive rebound.
After winning the basketball, Link did not attack the frame directly at the basket, but passed the ball to Conley from beyond the three-point line, and then went out again himself!
With Gasol's pick-and-roll, Link's movement was very successful. When he ran beyond the three-point line, Anthony was still a full distance away from Link.
Catch and throw! Link didn't hesitate too much. At such times, strike while the iron is hot, and if you can, you must resolutely cast.
In this way, Link's eighth three-pointer in a single game was born!
"God! How is this possible!?" The New York commentator covered his head, unbelievable!
"Of course it is possible, because the one who wears the No. 0 jersey today is God!" And his partner responded.
Anthony was completely taken aback, he and j.r. did their best. But in the face of 8 three-pointers, any effort is in vain!
That's it, but Link's performance continues!
Three minutes later, Link singled out and dislocated his j.r. from the bottom corner. This time, Link took a few tentative steps and then directly pulled up to shoot. He has now reached the point where he can do whatever he wants.
J.r.'s heart is cold. When defending Link, he only has one emotion - fear!
Fear can breed strength, and his ninth 3-pointer of the half completely destroyed the Knicks' confidence.
Before the start of the second quarter, Mike Woodson thought Link couldn't be more magical.
But now, as it turns out, he was dead wrong!
In the end, Link made 10 three-pointers in the half game! It broke the league record of 9 three-pointers at halftime created by Deron Williams half a month ago!
When Link made his 10th three-pointer, his half-court personal score had reached 35 points! More than j.r. and Anthony combined!
Looking at the dead Madison Square Garden, Link, who was wearing the "villain jersey", was very proud.
He found that he seemed to be beginning to like the role of "Death".
