Nine Hundred and Forty: Cole Regrets It a Bit

Almost all Warriors fans believe that after an incredible first half, the Grizzlies will be unable to resist in the second half.

However, no one expected that Link would split open the Warriors' defense as soon as he came up in the second half.

The state shown by Link and Grizzly Bear did not look like they were about to surrender.

Obviously, the Grizzlies haven't surrendered yet, they still want to equalize the score.

Although the Warriors still hold a 19-point lead, Steve Kerr on the sidelines is vaguely nervous.

In the game that just passed, the Warriors made many mistakes. Because they are all feeding Thompson the ball without thinking, the passing route is easy to judge.

In fact, those mistakes are avoidable. As long as Cole calls a timeout and emphasizes a few words to increase the complexity of the pass, it will not be so easy for the Grizzlies to complete the steal.

But Kerr didn't do that, and neither did the Warriors players. They confidently believe that in the face of Thompson's sky-high shooting percentage, a few mistakes are not worth mentioning.

But now, Cole felt a little regretful about his decision just now.

He was afraid that the Warriors' disdain in the second quarter would eventually lead to a big mistake and he would be punished...

Just when Cole was thinking wildly, the Warriors' first offense of the second half ended in failure.

Klay Thompson continued to fire from outside the three-point line, but this time, Butler did not give Thompson any openings.

Thompson originally thought that Jimmy Butler's confidence had been completely shattered, and he should do whatever he wanted when facing an opponent whose spirit was shattered.

But Butler is like a normal person, still working hard on the defensive end without any timidity.

It was as if Thompson's 37 points before did not exist at all, Butler was not deterred at all!

Feelings and emotions are something every human being has, and they are also the biggest difference between humans and machines and animals.

However, now the Grizzlies players are like a group of "terminators" without emotions.

They don’t know what fear is, they don’t know what fear is, and they don’t know how to shrink back.

One thing they have been doing is trying their best to complete the task!

The grizzly bear's lack of emotion makes people feel scared.

Klay Thompson felt a little palpitated. What he was thinking about now was not how to destroy Butler, but what he would do if he could no longer maintain his magical touch...

The Warriors' offense failed, and the Grizzlies got the opportunity to continue to close the score.

Now, Green didn't dare to talk trash to Link anymore.

He knows that he must devote himself wholeheartedly to the possibility of containing his opponents. As for trash-talking, I have to say that it is indeed possible to distract yourself.

Link waved his hand and continued to call for cover, signaling Gasol to step forward to pick and roll.

Both Green and Bogut were a little annoyed. It was obvious that Link had tasted the sweetness of the attack just now, so he used the same trick for the second time in a row.

Bogut is not a person who is willing to suffer the consequences of being dumb. After being humiliatingly dunked by Link, he will not just let it go.

If Link attacks the penalty area again this time, he guarantees that Link will be left with nothing to eat.

Draymond Green will never let Link break through the penalty area as he pleases. He was blocked by Gasol just now because he was not prepared. He didn't expect Gasol to sneak up beside him, so he was blocked. Hit it.

This time, Green was no longer kept in the dark. Therefore, he believes that he can get around the screen the first time.

The two villains of the Warriors have their own plans in mind.

Just waiting for Link to break through.

Link once again passed Gasol, but this time, Green quickly bypassed the obstacle, and Bogut immediately rushed towards Link.

Being double-teamed by these two villains at the same time is enough to bear just thinking about it.

In Green and Bogut's expectation, Link would be knocked down severely by them and lose the basketball!

They would give Link a taste of their power and make him fearful.

But in fact, Link easily passed the ball from behind before the two double-teamed him for a layup.

"Um!?"

Green and Bogut both turned their heads in surprise. Only then did they realize that Gasol was completely let go!

Link attracted the attention of Green and Bogut, so that Gasol was directly unmarked outside the three-point line!

Normally, players at the fifth position will habitually ignore threats from beyond the three-point line on the defensive end. After all, they have been trained to protect the basket, not the perimeter. Moreover, most fifth positions will not choose to shoot outside the three-point line, which creates the inertia that most centers like to shrink when defending.

Bogut also committed this old problem, but his opponent Gasol is different from others.

This is not the first time that Gasol has shot three-pointers in the game. Although he does not shoot many, it turns out that he is capable of three-pointers.

Especially when no one is watching!

Gasol took action immediately after receiving the basketball. He did not think that the equalizer was Link's responsibility alone.

Everyone tried to do their part, and after being punched by the warrior, everyone wanted to fight back with greater strength!

So under the astonished eyes of everyone, Gasol's three-pointer hit the net, and it went in very cleanly!

This year's starting center for the Western Conference All-Star team is not just a show-off!

Link can not only score by himself, but also calmly connect the team at this time!

Kobe on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud, Link is indeed a true leader!

"The ball went in, Marc Gasol's three-pointer... Link's pass was a little unexpected, no one knew how he saw the opportunity beyond the three-point line. The Warriors' lead There are still 16 points left, and the Grizzlies are slowly approaching. But I believe that as long as the Warriors come back to their senses, the score will be opened soon!"

Mark Jackson can't believe the Grizzlies' resilience. This team won't really complete a 21-point reversal!

Although the points difference between the two sides is still very different, it feels like the Grizzlies are beginning to regain the initiative.

All Warriors fans, like Mark Jackson, expect the Warriors to reopen on the offensive end.

The Warriors only need to score one goal to stabilize the situation.

But unfortunately, they only waited for Link's block on Curry.

In this offense, the Warriors did not continue to look for Thompson. Thompson has been heavily guarded, and it will be difficult for him to perform like he did in the second quarter.

Therefore, the Warriors plan to make a big fuss out of Curry.

Curry actually did not perform well today, because almost all of the shots in the second quarter were taken up by Thompson.

And under Link's defense, Curry didn't have many chances.

Now, when the Warriors need Curry, Curry's touch has not yet been accumulated. Moreover, he had no choice but to take action forcefully when the opportunity was not good.

Curry chose to use the screen and then suddenly take a shot from outside the three-point line. This move has been tried and tested by Curry. His super ability to shoot after dribbling allows him to easily hit such a shot.

But Link was not imprisoned by Bogut's screen. He directly chose to bypass the screen in front of the Australian and stay close to Curry.

Then when Curry took off to shoot, Link jumped up with his light speed reaction.

In the end, his fingers powerfully reached the bottom of the basketball, destroying Curry's shot!

Although the ball was not directly slapped by Link, it was still considered a block.

Link was merciless on both offense and defense. First, he dunked on Bogut, and then assisted Gasol to hit a three-pointer. Now, Curry is blocked again!

In every round, every stage, and every corner of the court, Link is there.

There was a sigh in the audience, and the Warriors' offense failed again.

Jimmy Butler jumped up and fought hard, and finally, under the tug of Thompson, he grabbed the basketball whose trajectory was changed by Link.

Butler passed the ball to Link immediately, and Link began to push for a quick counterattack.

"Stop him, just foul him!" Cole was anxious. He had thought that the Grizzlies would counterattack, but he didn't expect that the counterattack would come so quickly.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Grizzlies entered the state without warning, as if the first half did not exist at all.

Being 21 points behind had no impact on them at all.

Cole didn't want them to be tied with a huge advantage. He couldn't let the Grizzlies play a smooth offense anymore.

Therefore, even if it is a foul, Link must be stopped!

Green was undoubtedly the most excited when he heard the word "foul". He immediately rushed to Link, ready to hug him and throw him!

But Link remained calm in the face of danger. He dribbled behind his back to the left, intending to pass Green.

"Little trick!" Greene judged the direction of Link's breakthrough correctly and pounced forward.

But just when he was about to hit Link, Link continued to the right with another unlucky move!

Link used a smooth and fast two behind-the-back dribbles, allowing Green to miss.

This street acrobatic action gave Green no chance to foul!

Passing Green, Link quickly broke into the Warriors penalty area. In the stands, countless Warriors fans closed their eyes.

They really couldn't bear to see Link wreaking havoc on the basket again.

"boom!"

The Oracle Center basket made a loud noise again, and Link completed a beautiful counterattack, leading the Grizzlies to full momentum!

After Link landed, he held out one finger with his left hand and four fingers with his right hand, facing the stands, indicating that the score difference was only 14 points!

As soon as the third quarter started, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors 7-0.

Each of these 7 points has something to do with Link!

Steve Kerr nervously called to stop the game. The Warriors were leading the opponent by 14 points, but were stopped in embarrassment!

The coach who led the Warriors to be reborn is now very scared and regretful.

I regret why I didn’t open the score as much as possible in the third quarter, but left a glimmer of hope for the Grizzlies.

The punishment came a little too fast.
