1109: Walking Arsenal
Link scored a three-pointer, which shocked everyone on the scene.
While people were still wondering whether Link could play his strength with a high fever, he gave everyone an answer with a three-pointer.
Indeed, Link seemed not as exciting as usual. Under Carol's entanglement, Link seemed to be unable to move forward.
If Jokic had no ball cover, it would be unknown whether he could get rid of Carol.
But Link's arsenal on the offensive end has made him unable to put the ball into the basket even if he doesn't fight hard with his opponent.
Now, everyone's hearts are in their throats.
In front of Link, the 15-point gap is nothing.
Not long ago, Link just led the team to complete a 16-point reversal on the Warriors.
Looking at Link who scored the goal as soon as he came up, Lowry's brow frowned even tighter.
He didn't allow himself and DeRozan to work all the half, just because Link suddenly came out!
The firepower of the "Trunk Brothers" will become more intense than in the first half.
Lowry took the ball outside the three-point line, and Carol immediately came out and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Just now, he had already felt Link's weak confrontation today, so he was confident that he could have an advantage on the offensive end today!
Carol was originally a very strong player. If he could crush Link all the way to the basket, he believed that his finishing rate would definitely be very high.
Lowry handed the ball to Carol, and Valanciunas came to cover it.
Both Raptors' two inside players Valanciunas and Patterson were able to open up space. Valanciunas was excellent in the middle distance and occasionally shot three-pointers.
Patterson has always been a space-type four-position, and his abilities in all aspects are very mediocre. He relies on this three-pointer to be in the league.
As soon as the two insiders were opened, Carol's breakthrough path became unobstructed instantly.
With his excellent defensive skills, Link immediately bypassed Valanciunas and returned to Carol.
If it is normal, Link can use brute force to stop Carol.
But today, Link couldn't do this at all, but instead was being pushed away by Carol.
Carol was getting closer and closer to the basket, and he worked very hard because he knew that this was probably the only chance he would beat Link in his life!
Carol put all his strength into the basket, but he was about to close the ball with both hands, but he felt that the basketball suddenly lost control.
"How is that possible!?" Carol hurriedly lowered his head and found that Link had cut the ball down at an incredible speed!
When he wanted to grab the ball, Link skillfully pulled the ball to the other side of his body.
"Steal, Link stole the ball in Carol's hand. This was a beautiful steal, and Link's attack was timely and perfect!"
The on-site commentator couldn't help but stand up, and Link's reaction speed seemed not to slow down at all!
In fact, Link's reaction speed is naturally not comparable to that when he is completely healthy. If you ask Link to break Paul's and the other ball now, Link will definitely not be able to touch it.
However, Carroll himself is not a player who is good at playing ball. His dribbling center is very high and his ball protection is average.
So even if Link becomes slow to react, it is easy to steal such a player.
The same thing is true, Link's alliance depends not only on his strong body!
After completing the steal, Link sent the ball to Conley with a beautiful long distance strike before passing the ball through half the court.
The latter easily scored a layup after receiving the basketball, and Link's signature long-distance strike was still so pleasing to the eye.
Link's superb skills and outstanding passing vision will not disappear out of thin air because of a high fever.
At this point, the Grizzlies have scored five points in a row, and the Raptors have gone from nearly 20 points to 13 points.
If you play two more rounds, the score difference will return to single digits.
DeRozan was not ruthless. Although he was not the best star in the league, he was undoubtedly the best player of the Raptors. This time, DeRozan shook away Wade and made a quick stop and jump shot from mid-range!
In the middle distance, this is DeRozan's hot zone. The tired Wade once again missed the best time to interfere, allowing DeRozan to successfully score.
At this time, countless Grizzlies fans who were guarding the TV were poured with cold water.
Seeing that the Grizzlies finally got into power, they were actually suppressed by DeRozan.
The Raptors fans breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, with DeRozan, they still have a chance of winning!
Up to now, Link has indeed played well. Whether it is offense or defense, Link has a high fever and has a way to complete the task in a different way.
But Link, who has a high fever, can't attack efficiency be higher than that of healthy Lowry and DeRozan!
As long as DeRozan and Lowry can continue to output, the Grizzlies have no chance of winning.
But Raptors fans just thought so, and Link was at the middle distance on the right, using a very beautiful pull-up shot to win a goal!
For this ball, Link confronted Carroll at the middle distance.
Although the opponent was just a player with a high fever, Carol was inexplicably nervous.
Instead, Link looked confident.
Link didn't move a single step, but just made a few three-threat moves on the spot, which made Carol very restless.
Finally, after using a false outburst to shake Carol's center of gravity, Link immediately closed the ball and pulled the jump shot!
The basketball went over Carol's finger and fell straight into the net!
After continuing DeRozan's middle distance, Link immediately returned to the color at almost the same position.
The score difference narrowed to 13 points again, and so far, Link is still very efficient.
He seemed to be a walking arsenal, you would never know what kind of weapon Link would take out in the next second.
After scoring the goal, Link did not look at Carol, but instead looked at DeRozan.
He seemed to be saying to DeRozan: "Come on, let's continue!"
DeRozan did continue, but it was not because of Link.
Whether there is Link or not, DeRozan will continue to attack. After all, he is the team's number one scorer.
This time, DeRozan received the ball and made a jump shot.
Wade scored very well this time and did not give DeRozan too much shooting space.
The whole audience sighed. Who wouldn't want DeRozan to give Link a response? However, this only exists in the fantasy of Raptors fans.
DeRozan missed, and Jokic took the rebound again. The Grizzlies could not play quickly, so they continued to grind the positions with the Raptors.
Link changed his tricks this time. After continuing to catch the ball and hit the frame, he chose to play the one-on-one in this round!
"Link is worthy of being the most versatile superstar in the league. To be honest, I don't know what he can't do!" The live commentator shook his head. If it weren't for the pre-match revelations, he wouldn't have seen that Link was in a state of high fever.
Indeed, Link's style suddenly became much gentler. Without the dunks of flying and hiding, there was no breakthrough of being overturned.
But as long as you can score a goal, the method doesn't matter at all!
Carol licked his dry lips nervously. He didn't expect Link to be able to beat him like this.
To be honest, Carol has tried his best to block the goal just now. He can guarantee that he must have interfered with Link's shooting. If it were someone else, the draw just now would not be possible.
But Link was able to throw the ball in, and for him, that level of interference was not considered interference.
So this time Link hit Carol with her back on her back, which made Carol extremely nervous.
The most important thing in defending James is that he needs to withstand his impact. The strong Carol just can meet this need, so he can always perform miraculous results when defending James.
But defending Link... there is really no good way. His versatility is incomparable to even James.
Link did not do too fancy back movements today. After holding the ball and feeling Carol's center of gravity with his back, Link suddenly turned around in a large arc to the right!
Carol was shocked. He didn't expect Link to turn so quickly!
With just one action, Link opened up space with Carol.
Things were simple afterwards. The picturesque backward jump shot hit and Link scored again!
As it turns out, DeRozan and Lowry's offensive efficiency is not necessarily higher than Link who has a high fever!
When he leaned back and landed, Link's legs became weak and he sat on the ground again.
His strength is not enough to allow him to firmly support the imbalanced center of gravity.
But no matter how embarrassed it is, as long as the ball is entered, Link will be happy.
"I've entered again, Link is still the cold-blooded killer, and this has not changed. If the Raptors cannot stabilize this wave of offensive, the situation in the entire game will change as a result!"
This time, Link got up by himself and hurried back to defense.
He caught up with Lowry who was about to take the opportunity to rush the frame, and joined forces with Gasol in the air to give the "little steel cannon" a great interference.
Lowry missed a layup without a glimpse at the basket, and the Raptors missed in a row!
Link personally protected the defensive rebound and then carried the ball forward!
He ran hard and flew towards the frontcourt at an incredible speed.
When a player's adrenaline surges and only thinks about victory, he can really forget his illness for the time being.
Link dribbled to the basket with one-stop. Facing Valanciunas' block, Link also made a trolley move in the air!
Once again, Link fell to the ground in a mess. This time, he fell down to a group of reporters next to the basketball rack.
But again, basketball hit successfully.
At this point, the Grizzlies narrowed the score difference to single digits in one breath!
"It's successful, Link's trolley layup is very exciting! Oh my God, this may become another classic flu battle in league history after Michael and Dirk!"
Raptors coach Dwayne Casey couldn't sit still anymore. He couldn't believe that the Grizzlies had just replaced a Link with a high fever and reversed the entire momentum!
The original score difference of 18 points was instantly folded.
Link was lying on the ground. After that wave just broke out, he really didn't have the strength to get up now.
In the end, Gasol and Jokic directly "recommend" Link.
Link slowly walked towards the bench, and as soon as he sat down, he started drinking water hard, and covered his head with a towel.
It still looked weak. After only a few minutes of fighting, I was so tired.
But at this time everyone knows that once he starts to focus, he will become very dangerous!
I did it, Dave. The score changed back to single digits, and then...the next thing is to overtake it!"
Link was gasping and talking to Jogel.
Chapter completed!
