During the break between the festival, t.n.t TV station kept replaying the extreme back layup that Link made when defending against Porzingis.

Link's goal has undoubtedly booked a top five seats today.

And soon some fans found out that Michael Jordan also scored a similar ball!

The amazing similarity between Link and Jordan is no longer an explanation for the coincidence.

Facts have proved that Link does now have the ability to be Michael Jordan.

This kind of ball can only be completed by two monsters, Link and Jordan.

Although Link performed very well in the second quarter, the Dallas Mavericks' tenacity exceeded everyone's expectations.

Especially Doncic, he was able to withstand the pressure and stabilize the situation while being suppressed by Link.

You know, this is something that many superstars who have been in the league for many years cannot do.

But Luca Doncic did it.

In the second quarter, Doncic only scored 1 point less than Link. In other words, almost Link scored, Doncic would immediately get one.

There are only a handful of players in the league who can keep up with Link's offensive footsteps.

Doncic's performance has been recognized by most people, and some people even wonder whether the Mavericks will really beat the Grizzlies today!

If this is true, Doncic will be famous in history!

Although this is just an ordinary regular season game, it is not easy to beat the Grizzlies in the regular season.

What's more, it's a team with sophomore players as the core.

During the halftime break, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle also used this to inspire the players.

"Go on the court and tell the whole world who is the future league overlord! The Federal Express Arena is not hell, even if it is, we can break through the siege!"

Young players are the most likely group to be agitated by this kind of speech. After Carlisle finished speaking, everyone in the Mavericks was ready to move, and Doncic was no exception.

Yes, people say that the Memphis Grizzlies are invincible and Link cannot lose.

But after the first half of the game, Doncic discovered that the Grizzlies were not as terrifying as people said.

Indeed, the Mavericks were very passive in the second quarter, and they are now 5 points behind.

However, this gap is not unsurpassable.

As long as the Mavericks continue to work hard in the second half, it is not impossible to regain control of the situation.

After the second half of the game began, the Mavericks players were all full of vitality.

Carlisle is also full of confidence. If he had been in the past few seasons, he might have been too lazy to compete with the Grizzlies at all.

But this year is different, the Mavericks are going to enter the playoffs.

This means that no matter which team the Mavericks meet, they must strive to win.

This feeling of fighting for victory has really been a long time!

"In the second half, the Dallas Mavericks may continue to cause trouble for the Grizzlies. Before, the Lakers and the Trail Blazers were almost overwhelmed by the Mavericks. I wonder if the Grizzlies can hold on today."

While talking, the second half of the game officially started.

Neither side has adjusted the lineup and still appears as the starting lineup.

The Grizzlies' first attack, Link assisted Jokic to make a successful layup.

Originally, Link made a breakthrough and passed the ball to Jokic, but Jokic shot a fake shot and pointed Powell away.

Seeing this, Jokic simply took a few steps into the penalty area and successfully scored a layup.

The Grizzlies' offense is still sharp, which does not surprise the fans.

The reason why the Mavericks can still compete with the Grizzlies is not defense, but offense!

The Mavericks' offense is the focus of people's attention.

Doncic took the baseline ball and was ready to launch another counterattack. He is now full of confidence and believes that the Mavericks can continue to bite the score.

But this time when Doncic crossed the midfield line again, he was surprised to find that the person who defended him was no longer Mike Conley.

"It's Link. Link personally defended Doncic this round! If I remember correctly, this is the first time the two of them have really matched each other today! Don't blink, this is the moment you have been waiting for for a long time!"

Link stared at Doncic seriously, no longer having the ease of being careless in the first half.

Doncic swallowed, and looked at Link standing in front of him, he was inexplicably nervous.

"You've made enough trouble, little dear!" Before Doncic could react, Link's trash talk had already come out.

"I haven't had enough trouble yet."

"No, I'm not asking for your opinion. I'm here to inform you that you've made enough trouble!"

After saying that, Link took another step forward and roughly pressed Doncic.

Doncic called for cover, hoping to use the power of his teammates to get rid of defense.

However, as soon as he broke through Porzingis, he found that Link was right in front of him!

This reminded Doncic of the perfect defense against him in the last quarter.

Link’s defense is not so scary every time!

Seeing that he had no chance, Doncic decided to hit the ball and hit Porzingis who cut in after pick-and-roll.

Doncic is not the kind of stubborn who only knows how to focus on singles, and he is not a turtle with a blindfold.

However, the moment Doncic passed the ball, Link bent down slightly and directly cut off Doncic's pass!

Link's reaction was so fast that Doncic was sweating.

"It's so broken. Just like in the previous quarter, Link stole Doncic's basketball as soon as he came up. I just don't know if Link can continue this performance in this quarter."

In fact, no matter how fast Link reacted, he was not as fast as the opponent could complete the steal at the moment he shot.

The reason why he was able to cut the ball in the first quarter was because he expected Doncic to pass the ball to Porzingis, so he had already prepared for a steal.

Rather than saying that Link reacted quickly, he made a correct prediction.

While Van Gundy was speaking, Link had completed the fast attack after stealing.

Once it goes back and forth, the difference becomes 9 points.

The Dallas Mavericks are shaking!

Doncic's nightmare is not over yet, because when he approaches the Grizzlies again, he finds that Link is still standing in front of him!

It seems that Link is having a fight with Doncic in this section.

Doncic chose to challenge Link this time, and he used several rhythm changes and directional dribbling. In the first half, he used this method to play Conley again and again.

But all these tricks were invalid when Link came to his death, and Doncic could not even shake out a slight gap.

No matter what action he does, Link will react in the right position.

Doncic was miserable by Link's "death entanglement". For the first time, he discovered that it was so difficult to score.

Finally, Doncic had to use a step back to get a little distance from Link and then jumped.

But as soon as Doncic jumped up, he was slapped the basketball away by Link.

This forced step back will not work for Link.

After being blocked by Link, Doncic was still stunned, but Link had immediately passed by him.

Link got the basketball that was blown out by himself, and then he easily counterattacked again.

The difference between the score became 11 points, and Rick Carlisle was stunned.

Damn it wasn't long before the second half of the game started, but the score difference was instantly widened to 11 points!?

Carlisle had just poured chicken soup for the players for a night, but Link smashed the bowl of his soup as soon as he came up.

It's totally unsatisfactory!

Link ran back easily and continued to stand in front of Doncic.

He didn't think he was cruel, because he had already reminded Doncic just now.

He said that he had made enough trouble!

After that, Doncic embarked on his own journey of suffering.

He made a layup at the basket with a strong breakthrough, but failed to make a layup because his ability to confront Link was not as good as that of Link.

He suddenly threw a throw while moving, but because Link's blocking height was too high, Doncic had to adjust the throwing arc, causing the basketball to hit the basket and delayed it.

A three-point jump shot ended in three-pointers, and under the interference of Link, he eventually became a three-no-touch...

If Doncic is still a league superstar in the first half.

Then in the second half, he really became an ordinary second-year rookie.

On the other hand, Link still continued his scoring performance in the second quarter, with various magical operations emerging one after another.

The gap was gradually widened. After halfway through the third quarter, Link hit a three-pointer with Doncic, the Grizzlies had already taken an 18-point lead!
