Five Hundred and Twenty-Nine: Show Me Dead Link

Mike Conley only needed one round to make Parker nervous.

Indeed, he doesn't have to play against Link and Iguodala. But today's Conley is not the master of Parker's food.

The Grizzlies won 60 games this year, and it wasn't Link's fault alone. A strong team usually does not have only one strong player.

Conley, as the main point guard of the strongest team in the league, is also quite powerful. Parker's mentality is right now, and dealing with Conley is not the same as dealing with Chalmers yesterday.

Link's alley-oop dunk just now undoubtedly boosted the Grizzlies' morale first. The Grizzlies don't care if the Spurs haven't lost a losing streak for three months, that's fine, then let the Spurs lose this record in Memphis!

The next round, the Grizzlies defense is very strong. However, the Spurs are also very determined. They have long known that the Grizzlies cannot easily surrender victory, so they also took the attitude of dying.

Duncan turned a jumper in a hand-to-hand fight with Randolph and scored.

Randolph's defense is tough enough, and he's just about to throw himself in hand-to-hand combat. However, Duncan, who is nearly 40 years old, can still score goals under this kind of defense, which shows how much they value the victory of this game.

Link's alley-oop dunks and Duncan's turnaround jumper seemed to be the epitome of this game. Because in the next game, the two sides went back and forth like this, you punched me and I fought together in chaos.

Link was double-teamed by Leonard and Danny Green today. Although he was able to assist, he couldn't score as easily as before.

On the Spurs side, limited by the Grizzlies' excellent defense, the efficiency has not been high.

The two teams played very anxiously, and the hit rate was not particularly high. But once one side scores, the other side will immediately continue.

Today, Parker was having a hard time being guarded by Conley. The heavy task of scoring is mostly on Duncan and Danny Green.

Link was double-teamed, so the Grizzlies scored today mainly by Conley and Andre Iguodala.

Among them, Conley played very well. He not only contained Parker on the defensive end, but also stood up to share the pressure on the offensive end for Link.

When Link is locked up, Conley is often the first to step up to score points for the Grizzlies.

Before the game,

People questioned Link's statement. But in this game, Conley really did better than Parker.

The game went through three quarters like this, until the last 42 seconds of the fourth quarter, when Parker's breakthrough caused Conley to foul.

Parker stood at the free throw line, and everyone on the Spurs bench cheered. Because if Parker hits two free throws, the Spurs will have a 3-point lead!

42 seconds, 3 points advantage. With the two sides playing so anxiously, this is not an easy gap to close.

Hubie Brown's heart was beating fast, he thought, there won't be another lore today! ?

"Tony Parker stepped into the free throw line and he's scored 16 points today on 40 percent shooting. There's no question Mike Conley interrupted Parker's great form. The Frenchman's MVP-caliber performance has not yet been seen in Memphis. Can play."

Hubie Brown was complimenting Conley when Parker made the free throws.

Conley really played at his level today. Through this game broadcast live in the United States, the whole world can see his strength clearly.

Although he was not selected as an All-Star, he is an All-Star!

Parker is not reconciled. He obviously thought he could shine today, but he was prevented from being so aggrieved.

Now that there is a chance to kill the game with great difficulty, the French will naturally not let it go easily.

So, despite the fierce boos from the Grizzlies fans, Parker took two deep breaths and scored all the balls!

Two free throws, Parker scored 18 points. The San Antonio Spurs took a key 3-point lead in the final 42 seconds!

The Grizzlies didn't call a timeout, after all, they only had one timeout left. This suspension must be reserved until the last moment to be insured.

That said, the players have to deal with the current crisis on their own. To put it bluntly, it is the players themselves that decide everything on the pitch.

Conley slowly controlled the ball after halftime, and Parker was already ready. So far, Conley has scored 22 points and 9 assists, with only 1 turnover. Moreover, the hit rate is as high as 51.3%, which is a full 11 percentage points higher than Parker.

Although on the surface, Parker is 4 points worse than Conley. But on the whole, Conley's performance today is more than a star and a half better than Parker.

Kang Lu first glanced at Link, and at the critical moment, it was naturally safer to find Link. But Leonard was pressing against Link, and Danny Green was now eyeing Link.

If he just passed the ball like this, Link would not have a good chance.

This may be the best game the Spurs have limited Link to. So far, Link has 23 points and a shooting percentage of 45.8%.

Link actually performed very well, but if it weren't for this defense, in Link's state today, there would be no problem with shooting over 50%. Moreover, the score is estimated to be more than 20 points.

The Spurs' defense was successful, not to mention that Link only scored in single digits, but at least it stopped Link's offense from doing whatever he wanted.

What do you want to do, 10 three-pointers in the half against the Knicks, that is to do whatever you want.

Conley is calling for cover, planning to break through by himself!

"Does Conley want to do it by himself? Does he plan to take a big shot at this crucial ball?" Hubie Brown became nervous. The success or failure of this attack will directly affect the result of the game.

Conley was not afraid. As soon as Gasol's cover arrived, Conley immediately broke through!

Conley's speed didn't seem to suffer in any way, even though the game had reached the fourth quarter. His quick breakthrough prevented Parker from chasing back quickly after bypassing the pick-and-roll, so Danny Green had to go to the defense, and Parker switched to Iguodala.

Seeing this, Conley turned his head and started looking for Link. Sure enough, Link didn't just stand there and wait, but ran towards the bottom corner on the right!

The two thought of going together, and they had a tacit understanding! This ball, Conley played from the beginning, the purpose was to attract defense and seek opportunities for Link. Now Danny Green came over to defend Conley, and Link would no longer be double-teamed.

Therefore, Conley did not attack the frame after breaking through to a deep position, but broke the ball!

The Spurs players watched the basketball fly towards Link in surprise, and they all screamed badly in their hearts!

Link made an emergency stop after catching the ball, raised his arms, and stood on tiptoe. Leonard didn't hesitate, and flew straight forward. He knew very well that if he wanted to interfere with Link's shot, he couldn't hesitate for a moment. As long as you give a little space, Link can score!

However, the next second, Leonard regretted it. Because Link just stood on tiptoe, but didn't jump! His realistic shot fakes stunned Leonard, who was good at defense.

Seeing that Leonard was flying, Link took a step sideways, silently watching Leonard fly by his side, and then took off and shot!

Popovich stood up, he didn't believe that Link could be so magical, and he could hit the key ball every time. However, the harsh truth sent the old man's blood pressure soaring.

Link made a three-pointer, 95 to 95, and the two sides drew!

"boom!"

The fans stood up and raised their arms. Although this ball is not a lore, but it pulled the Grizzlies from the edge of the cliff. Therefore, the fans just saw the feeling of lore.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, the two sides returned to the same starting line!

Link did not celebrate wildly after scoring, but pointed to Conley to express his gratitude to him for passing the ball.

Popovich called a timeout, and with 30 seconds left, the Spurs had to take the final blow. Of course, the last defense has to be arranged.

Popovich promised that he would not let Link score that kind of goal for the second time in a row!

"...After the attack, show me Kill Link, and don't let him take a step. The rest of the Grizzlies can't kill the game! Watch Link and we'll win!" Bo Povic kept emphasizing the importance of locking Link off the court.

On the Grizzlies side, Link patted Conley on the shoulder, "If I don't have a chance later, can you handle it?"

Conley's heart beat twice, but quickly returned to normal.

He gave his trademark smile and nodded slightly.
