138: The Nightmare Continues
The moment Link scored, the FedEx Hall, which had been frustrated for the whole game, erupted like a volcano erupting.
People say that the Grizzlies, which focus on defense and positional offense, have no passion, but in fact, the FedEx Arena has always been one of the most lively home courts in the league.
"Adjust your breathing Link, you must stabilize it!"
After hugging Link, Conley yelled. It was not that he had any dissatisfaction with Link, but that the noisy scene had completely stimulated the adrenaline of these men.
Link nodded, high-five with all his teammates, and then stood on the free throw line in full view.
Cameron Anthony is still nervous than Link, and the attack time is only less than 15 seconds. If Link hits the penalty, the Knicks will have to chase 5 points in 15 seconds! There is no doubt that this is a very difficult thing. Now the Knicks have only one timeout, and even if they use foul tactics, it is difficult to recover the score.
A minute ago, the New York Knicks, who had a two-point advantage, were still infinitely close to victory. But now, they suddenly became infinitely close to the bottom. Perhaps this is the charm of the basketball game.
Link received the referee's pass. He first clamped the basketball around his waist, then took a deep breath to adjust his heartbeat.
At the same time, the court, which was still very noisy just now, became quiet in an instant. Memphis fans created an extremely quiet free throw environment for Link, for fear that he would be distracted at all.
Link slapped the ball twice, took the ball and turned it around his palm, then bent his knees, raised the ball over his head, lifted the center of gravity of his body, and shot!
Anthony ran to the basket the moment Link took the shot. He may have never wanted to protect the rebound so much in his life. But Link's shooting did not give the Knicks a chance to protect the rebound, because the basketball was directly hollowed out into the net!
"In! Link made a free throw, and the Memphis Grizzlies scored a 5-point lead in the last 14.6 seconds of the game! There is no doubt that this is a free throw that is enough to establish the victory! Link was suppressed by Anthony throughout the game, but he did not lose confidence at the critical moment! He bravely shouldered the responsibility and successfully scored three-pointers on Anthony's head! Link now scored 19 points, although he was 12 points less than Anthony, if the Grizzlies win, his 19 points would be more valuable than Anthony's 31 points!"
Hubi Brown's heartbeat finally stabilized. The head coach of the NBA team is a position that has particularly high requirements for the heart. Because in some games, the head coach is completely riding a "roller coaster". This is also the reason why Hubi Brown chose to retire at that time.
But this season's commentary on the Grizzlies' game, Hubby Brown felt that the feeling he had when coaching the game was back.
D'Antoni used his last timeout after Link hit a free throw, and his team led the night before crashing in the last few minutes. It has to be said that Mike Conley's performance exceeded D'Antoni's expectations.
People only saw Link's last three-pointer, but forgot Conley's selfless journey in the last moment. He gave up the opportunity to be a hero to Link, but the Grizzlies almost encountered victory.
Where can I find such a point guard?
D'Antoni shook his head and did not continue to think about it. He began to arrange the team's last offense tactics, but if it were not, people know that the Knicks' last offense must be executed by Anthony.
Anthony sat on the bench with his fists clenched. A minute ago, he was still thinking about how he would humiliate Link in front of reporters after the game. But now, he was thinking about how to keep his face. He was about to lose in Memphis again!
If the Knicks lose the game because of Link's key goal today, Anthony's nightmare will probably not disappear for a while. From now on, in New York until the early morning, Anthony's mind will probably see the face of the Chinese from time to time.
This is so terrible!
This time, Anthony didn't listen to anything and heard the electronic beep.
As soon as the beep sounded, Anthony stepped into the court. 14.6 seconds and 5 minutes, he still had a chance to create miracles!
But at this time, the game was firmly held by the Grizzlies. Especially after Link scored the key goal of 2+1, the Grizzlies' team was even more motivated.
They are ready to continue strangling New Yorkers.
"Continue to keep defending firmly, we are close to victory!"
Conley continued to give orders, and today he is undoubtedly the most vocal player on the field. Others may ignore Conley, but the Grizzlies players know that if it weren't for him, the Grizzlies would have finished playing long ago.
The Grizzlies players with high morale brought their tempering and strangling to the extreme. After the game started again, the Knicks were so defensive that they could not even run out of tactics. Link was wrapped around Anthony like a candy, and Anthony didn't even have room to comfortably catch the ball.
Seeing that the basketball was not available for a long time, D'Antoni, the bearded, was sweating profusely. He had no timeout. If the sideline ball was timed out, the ball rights would directly belong to the Grizzlies.
In the end, Jared Jeffries passed the basketball one second before the violation. Anthony received the ball, but others were forced by Link to the near-center circle.
Until now, Anthony is tired because he is strictly defended. It is difficult for him to break through Link by explosive power.
Link became more and more courageous as he fought, and his impulse to Anthony was simply wandering on the verge of foul.
Stadmeier raised the cover for Anthony, but this still did not stop Link. Link flexibly bypassed the "Little Overlord" and continued to stay beside Anthony.
Anthony, who broke through to the middle distance, jumped out, but this time, Link was too strict with his defense. Under Link's serious interference, Anthony's shooting made a third consecutive shot!
"Bang!" The crisp iron shot made Anthony feel desperate. At the critical moment, he was 0 of 3 shots by Link and was also hit by a big shot, which completely dispelled his superstar aura today.
Seeing Anthony's key shot missed, the Knicks' bearded coach fell to the bench. It was over and everything was over.
Afterwards, although the Knicks adopted a foul tactic, they could no longer get the time or the advantage. The high morale Memphis Grizzlies would not let the victory slip away from their fingers, and once they bite the victory, they would not let it go easily.
In the last 1.3 seconds of the game, Mike Conley made two free throws, giving the Grizzlies 7 points ahead of the Knicks. At that moment, Anthony walked straight off the court. He had prepared for this for so long that he even went to train in advance to maintain his condition. He thought that he could have a perfect revenge today and let everyone see what kind of garbage Link was.
What happened? The King of New York could only leave in shame. He was in Memphis, but he didn't have a crown. This guy underestimated the Grizzlies' determination to hone and strangle.
"Beep"
The electronic beep sounded, and 112 to 105, the Memphis Grizzlies resisted the Knicks' powerful firepower by 7 points. At the same time, it also broke the fairy tale of Anthony's victory after joining the Knicks.
The big villains from Memphis tore the Knicks Yue Anthony's honeymoon period with their own hands.
After the game, Anthony made 0 of 3 shots at a critical moment and killed Link with a three-pointer, which became a hot spot in the eyes of the media.
He scored 19 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds today, and his performance was actually quite excellent, but it was still a little different from Anthony's 31 points blocked and killed by Buddha.
However, because of the highlights at critical moments, people only remember Link Anthony? He has become the brightest background board!
"Link, beat Cameron again and kill the game on his head, how do you feel!?" The reporters seemed to be more excited than Link. A grassroots ended the seemingly unstoppable Knicks, which was indeed dramatic.
Facing the camera of the reporters, Link was not dizzy by the joy. He turned his body sideways and pointed behind him, where there were only a few reporters interviewed Conley.
"If you want to interview the player who killed the game today, go and interview him."
Chapter completed!
