1186: Tyronn Lue doesn't understand the ball anymore
Dinwiddie's appearance did not cause much trouble. After all, fans and the media are not aware of Dinwiddie's training situation.
The first quarter has four minutes to finish, and the Grizzlies' lineup is Dinwiddie, Richardson, Link, Harris and Harrell.
On the Cavaliers, Irving, James and Love are still present. It seems that Tyron Lu dared not act rashly before Link got off the court.
In Tyron Lu's opinion, it is unlikely that the Grizzlies will continue to expand the score with their current lineup.
Although Link has not ended yet, the three Cavaliers are also there, so they will never be beaten by Link with a bunch of substitutes.
Maybe the score can be closer.
Before the end of the first quarter, the score was almost widened to double digits by the Grizzlies, and Tyron Lu believed that the first quarter was successful.
It would be even better if the Cavaliers could narrow the gap to less than five points in the end.
Tyron Lu just thought of this, but Link broke through with the ball!
James raised his chest and slammed him hard, without reservation.
Nonsense, James has been in good health for the whole regular season, but it is for this moment.
I have to say that James' blocking was indeed quite tough. Link felt as if he had bumped into a mountain, and the other party did not move at all.
At the same time, Love and Irving also double-teamed up. The Knight's strategy is to use all his strength to curb Link!
As for the others, they can't kill the game anyway.
Link was trapped in the encirclement, and Irving was ready to steal.
But just as Irving's hand was about to touch the basketball, Link suddenly uploaded the ball from the top of Irving's head.
Irving immediately turned around, and he knew that the direction of Link's passing was Dinwiddie's position!
Of course, Irving could not have let Dinwiddie go directly, so he turned around and rushed back the moment Link passed the ball.
Although Irving cannot run faster than Link's pass, a little bit of interference is enough to deal with a guy like Dinwiddie!
Dinwiddie received the basketball and looked at Irving who was rushing towards him, but she was not nervous at all.
This is his first time playing in the finals, and this is his first move in this game.
But as soon as I think of myself beating Nash outside the three-point line yesterday afternoon, Dinwiddie feels nothing to be afraid of!
He has defeated his role model!
He jumped high, his legs spread slightly. At this time, Irving had already pounced on him. Dante Widdie was still staring at the basket and attacking calmly.
After seeing Dinwiddie's attacking state, Nash applauded in advance.
That boy heard all his suggestions.
"brush!"
Basketball hit the net with a sound, and Dinwiddie's three-pointer hit the target accurately!
Tyron Lu looked black with a question mark, what's the situation? It's really a turn of feng shui? In the last game, the Cavaliers made the shots outside the three-point line, whoever shots, and it's the Grizzlies' turn today?
"Good goal, Link assisted Dinwiddie to hit a three-pointer! In the playoffs last season, Dinwiddie could not play a role in opening up space on the court, and his three-pointer was simply unavailable. However, the rapid progress of young players like the Grizzlies is an important reason why the Grizzlies can make a comeback this season."
Mike Bryn cheered with nearly 20,000 Grizzlies fans at the scene. He had long said that the Grizzlies' offensive would not end so soon.
Nash also stood up from the bench and shouted excitedly. The cheers in his fantasy appeared indeed. Although they were not dedicated to him, Nash still enjoyed it very much.
"Damn, it's so unlucky!" Tyron Lu cursed in disappointment. This time, the defense was so successful, and Link had completely killed him.
Little did he know that Dinwiddie came out to make trouble.
With just one goal, the difference is turned into a double digit.
The Cavaliers are in crisis. It is not enough to just do a good job of defense now, and their offense also needs to keep up.
But even if the Grizzlies are just in the second team, their defense is quite excellent.
Irving wanted to get a goal from Dinwiddie this time, but Dinwiddie did not sway.
Dinwiddie's defense is not bad, and the goal just now made Dinwiddie extremely focused.
In the end, Irving made a jump shot without completely shook Dinwiddie away! Facing Dinwiddie, who is more dominant in height, although Irving was not defeated, the basketball failed to hit the ball.
Seeing the basketball hitting the frame, James immediately posted it next to Link to stop Link from easily fighting back.
Sure enough, Tobias Harris passed the ball to Link as soon as he took the rebound.
James saw the opportunity and was ready to cut the ball without Link holding the ball completely!
But Link flexibly wrapped the ball behind his head and swung it to the side, making James lose.
This was the second time in a row, and Link successfully avoided the steal.
He seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on Irving and James, and he passed the ball out every time when the opponent was about to touch the basketball.
Link's goal of passing the ball is not someone else, it is Dinwiddie!
Irving's strength on the offensive end is undoubtedly, but it's almost a little bit interesting on the defensive end.
After receiving the basketball, Dinwiddie leaned against Irving and crushed the basket, as if he wanted to make a big fuss about Irving's weak ability to fight.
Irving gritted his teeth and insisted, and quickly retreated. Although Dinwiddie is playing No. 1 now, he has a total figure as a No. 2 player, similar to Kobe.
Therefore, it is really difficult for Irving to resist.
Irving tried hard to retreat, hoping to find an opportunity to cut the ball.
After Dante Widdie dribbled outside the three-point line, he suddenly stopped urgently!
Irving widened his eyes, staggered and almost fell down.
He never expected that Dinwiddie would choose to stop outside the three-point line.
Although Irving quickly stabilized his center of gravity and did not fall to the ground in a mess, he was still left with a distance from his body by Dinwiddie's emergency stop.
After the emergency stop, Dinwiddie pulled out of the three-point line and shot!
Tyron Lu was shocked. Did Dinwiddie show confidence?
In the influence of most people, Dinwiddie is still the former genius defender who is unreliable in three-pointers and has fallen due to injuries.
Even though Dinwiddie's three-point shooting percentage has increased this season, people believe that Dinwiddie can only shoot some simple open three-pointers.
This kind of emergency stop jump shot outside the three-point line is not what Dinwiddie should do.
But in fact, Dinwiddie has long had such ability.
Before Irving could interfere, Dinwiddie's three-pointer jumped into the net.
Link made two assists in a row, and Dinwiddie also made two consecutive three-pointers!
The Grizzlies gained a 13-point lead in rotation time, completely disrupting the Cavaliers' deployment.
"Beautiful, Dinwiddie's move was very confident! At that moment, he seemed not a substitute at all, but the star of this team. In the first quarter, the Grizzlies had already hit 7 three-pointers. Today, they let the Cavaliers feel the feeling of being flooded by the three-point rain!"
After Dinwiddie scored another three-pointer, Tyron Lu suspended the game.
The coach holding James' instruction manual has long known that the Grizzlies' true strength is not just what they showed in the first game.
But even though he was mentally prepared, the Grizzly's strength still left him helpless.
He thought Link would not cause trouble for the Cavaliers with a bunch of substitutes.
But the rotation lineup can actually widen the score difference, which makes Tyron and Lu instantly lose their understanding of the ball.
On the other side, Link and Dinwiddie brigade.
This year, all the helpers around him are very reliable.
This is also the reason why Link dares to say that he won the championship before June 13.
This is not arrogant, but confidence!
Nash looked at Dinwiddie who was slapped with Link's high, his eyes slightly rosy.
His regret was finally made up for some.
"Continue to rush like this, and win the championship after four games."
Nash muttered to himself in his heart, and then sat in a corner where no one paid attention to it.
A championship?
Nash smiled with his rosy eyes.
Chapter completed!
