Eight Hundred and Ninety-Four: A Person with a Darker Face than McHale (4/5)
"Link's performance in the third quarter was very good. He made Josh Smith's magical aura completely disappear! However, after Link comes off the field, I wonder if Josh can quickly regain his form?"
Everyone knew that it was time for Link to take a rest at this point.
When Link was around, Josh was indeed suppressed miserably. But without Link, the 8-point advantage seemed less secure.
After the timeout, sure enough, the Grizzlies sent in a substitute lineup, and Iguodala came on instead of Link.
"Link gave the Grizzlies an 8-point lead, but it is not safe. I believe that the Houston headband gang will close this gap. The Christmas war will not end so easily." The on-site commentary was still full of ideas, and he believed that the game would resume The trend of the first half.
Josh Smith has also bounced back. The nightmare is over and now the game is bright for him!
Link sat on the sidelines and wiped his sweat. Throughout the third quarter till now, Josh has not scored a point.
Moreover, under Link's consumption, Josh was somewhat tired.
It is true that Iguodala's physical condition has not returned to 100%, but it is more than enough to deal with a tired Josh!
When the game restarted, Josh Smith looked at Iguodala, as if he had seen a homeless man like a hamburger after being hungry for three days and three nights, full of hunger.
Everyone, including McHale, thought Josh could easily score on Iguodala. After all, that's how the Rockets took the lead in the first half.
So on the first attack after returning from the timeout, the ball was also handed to Josh.
"Josh Smith posted up Iguodala. Iguodala was completely targeted today. In the past few minutes, Josh was suppressed by Link in a very embarrassed manner. Now, it is time for him to express his anger. .”
As the commentator was talking, Josh leaned on Iguodala's back and turned around to break through.
Iguodala was not in a hurry, he knew that Josh was already a little nervous.
Seeing the right moment, Iguodala did everything!
"Huh!?" Josh turned around and looked down, where is the ball?
"Beautiful steal, Andre Iguodala cut off Josh Smith's basketball, and Josh made another mistake on the offensive end!"
Iguodala is very calm now, and he doesn't want to live up to the expectations of this team.
From Randolph's voluntary salary reduction to the encouragement and waiting of others...
The Grizzlies have never let Iguodala down, and Iguodala doesn't want to let the Grizzlies down either.
After the steal, Iguodala quickly passed the ball to Carter.
The latter broke through Brewer's blockade and succeeded in a layup.
McHale was even more panicked now. The Rockets were already 10 points behind!
"The result was different from what everyone expected. Josh thought he could go on a killing spree, but the ending was still tragic. The Rockets have to be careful. The point difference between the Grizzlies and the Grizzlies widened to double digits, which is not a good thing. .”
"Well done Andre, keep going, come on!" Link stood up from the bench and led everyone to encourage Iguodala.
Iguodala opened his arms after hearing Link's shout.
Walked up to Josh again.
"Man, you've had enough."
Josh Smith was shocked when he heard Iguodala talking trash!
As we all know, Iguodala has always been a nice guy.
Although he is strong defensively, he plays cleanly, behaves appropriately, has a very upright outlook, and never uses foul language.
Josh thought he heard it wrong, but Iguodala's fierce eyes told him, "No, you didn't."
Josh swallowed. Sure enough, if you stay in a certain group for a long time, people will be changed.
The good-natured gentleman in the past is now a bit of a gangster.
The Memphis Gang lives up to its name!
This time, Terry's shot was severely interfered with by Dellavedova, and the Rockets struck again.
Among the three members of the "Hairband Gang", two of them had already failed in their attack.
Whiteside collected the rebound and was about to hand over the ball when he found Iguodala running forward and waving.
This second team, although Dellavedova is the point guard. But the real organizational point is Iguodala.
Iguodala is like a "poor man's version" of Link. He is also very versatile, but not as top-notch in every aspect as Link.
Anyway, Iguodala was the organizational point, so Whiteside hit his head hard and came from the backcourt to launch a long pass!
However, the accuracy of Whiteside's long passes is indeed unflattering. Not everyone is like Gasol, who can master long passes and low post support.
Whiteside's long pass was too powerful. Seeing this, Iguodala gritted his teeth and accelerated. He jumped up and fished the ball before the basketball went out of bounds, and got the ball back!
Everyone thought Iguodala was just a reluctant save, but in fact, Iguodala had already found a passing target in the air!
The basketball accurately flew into the hands of Carter, who was following behind. Carter went to the basket and feinted a shot, sending Brewer flying.
Then, Old Carter jumped up and dunked with both hands, scoring 4 points in a row!
McHale's scalp was numb from the show, and Iguodala could save an assist even if he saved the ball. It was like turning decay into magic!
Also, what's going on with old Carter? I'm almost 40 years old and can I still jump and dunk on the spot? Abnormal!
Carter pointed at Iguodala to express his gratitude, and Iguodala nodded lightly at Link who was celebrating the goal off the court.
Protect the honor of the Grizzlies, he did what he said!
The point difference became 12 points, and the Houston Rockets' situation took a turn for the worse.
Iguodala's outstanding performance blocked the Rockets' trump card.
Josh Smith is the only reason why the Rockets can still compete with the Grizzlies today. After eliminating his unexpected factor, the situation is completely under the control of the Grizzlies.
Josh Smith finally survived Link's end and thought he would be able to usher in his next spring.
But he didn't expect that the next cold winter would greet him.
In the next two rounds, neither team's offense scored.
On the Rockets' side, Brewer's mid-range shot hit the side of the basket. After the Grizzlies attacked, Jimmy Butler's three-pointer also missed the basket.
Butler's shot was a little too powerful, resulting in a long rebound.
Long rebounds mean counterattack. And what Josh is best at is destroying the opponent's basket during counterattacks!
The moment the basketball hit the frame, Josh ran wildly towards the frontcourt.
Brewer desperately grabbed the rebound and then passed the ball directly. The "Hairband Gang" finally found their offensive rhythm!
Josh ran quickly with the ball, and he was already thinking about what kind of dunk action he would use to end the attack!
He stepped into the penalty area with one foot and jumped off one foot. Josh's arms exerted all their strength, vowing to crush all the grievances in one fell swoop.
He will use this goal to turn the situation around!
Josh slammed the ball towards the basket, but as soon as he exerted his force, he felt a greater force coming from behind.
Iguodala stayed close to Josh from the beginning, staring at the basketball.
Iguodala doesn't want to mess up this part of himself!
The basketball was slapped hard by Iguodala, hit the basket hard, and then rebounded.
Josh Smith fell out of the baseline in embarrassment. What also fell at the same time was his determination to reverse the situation.
"Iguodala successfully blocked Josh Smith's dunk. Poor Josh, he was treated completely differently in the first and second half! Andre Iguodala was resurrected, and he defended the Grizzlies' Advantage!"
Iguodala stood next to Josh who fell to the ground and glared at him.
mission completed!
Previously, people thought that Josh would continue to equalize the score for the Rockets, or even go ahead.
But Iguodala stood up, and his return made the Rockets' lightning signing lose its power.
When it comes to forwards, the Grizzlies are unmatched!
Josh, who was alternately rubbed by Link and Iguodala, did not perform well again. Throughout the third quarter, Josh made a mind-numbing 0-for-6 shot...
Without Josh scoring points on the bench, the Grizzlies were able to widen the point difference as they wished.
The Grizzlies, who trailed by 7 points at halftime, led the Rockets by 15 points after the third quarter!
Iguodala was like a shot in the arm, allowing the Grizzlies to take control of the game in one go.
After the third quarter, McHale was blackened in the face.
Josh was blocked, and without the Qi soldiers, the Rockets instantly lost the means to win.
Link excitedly hugged Iguodala as he walked off the court. Although Iguodala was usually tepid.
But at the critical moment, you can trust him 100%!
At this time, no one in the audience noticed that Adam's joke face was darker than McHale's.
Because the hope in his heart to stop the grizzly bear from continuing to wreak havoc is slowly being dashed.
