285: I won't be disturbed when I grab the offensive rebound
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies counterattacked and used the style of being a soldier to restrain the Warriors' weak defense.
The Warriors' defensive ability and offensive ability are indeed completely inconsistent. Ellis and Curry are both guards whose offense is far greater than defense. Small forward Wright's defensive skills are not very solid, so he can only rely on his body to fight. David Lee is also an offensive kaleidoscope, but the defense is hard to describe.
As for Biderlins, he is definitely the most unworthy NBA leader this season!
The Warriors have strong offensive firepower, but their defense is terrible. Mark Jackson is capable of training a good defensive system, but you have to give him players who can defend.
Therefore, the Grizzlies have almost the advantage on the offensive end in every position. In the third quarter, the Warriors could not grasp the focus of the defense at all. Link scored 6 points, added 7 points at a young age, Randolph scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Tony Allen and Guy also scored 4 points each.
Everyone can attack the Grizzlies, but the Warriors can't defend either. Fortunately, Curry and Ellis still retained a 2-point advantage after the third quarter with their outstanding performance.
However, the Grizzlies have already shown their momentum, which is also an irreversible fact.
In this way, both sides entered the final battle with almost the same score. In the fourth quarter, Curry and Ellis were guarded strictly, and Hollins kept asking Link and Guy to take turns to rest in order to allow Tony Allen to replace their positions at any time.
In other words, no matter how the substitution is, the Warriors have to face the hardest defense of the Grizzlies!
But Ellis and Curry are also very smart. The outside line is blocked and we will break through.
So, in the middle of the game, Ellis and Curry each caused two fouls, and the two made 8 free throws, stabilizing the score.
The game was played to the last 32 seconds. At this time, the Grizzlies were leading by 2 points. As long as they defended this attack, they could basically declare victory!
As a result, Curry seized the opportunity with no ball cover and reached the bottom corner on the right. Seeing Conley being stopped, Link ran straight into Curry, trying to block his shot!
When facing the Spurs, Link relied on his unstoppable defense, messing up the Spurs' offense.
But today, the same trick seems to be less useful to Curry.
After all, there is no three-pointer at Curry in the Spurs!
Link jumped high and stretched his long arms out. If he was an ordinary defender, he might have eaten directly outside the three-point line!
But Curry had nothing to do with the word "ordinary". Seeing Link attacking him, Curry didn't even blink. Moreover, his move was very fast, so fast that Link felt that he was throwing it out casually!
No wonder Curry is so difficult to defend, he is so forced to take action!
After landing, Link quickly turned around. If Curry didn't make a shot, he would be ready to fight for rebounds at any time.
As a result, Curry still shot the ball steadily despite being severely disturbed!
No, maybe Curry was not disturbed at all just now, but Link himself felt that he had seriously interfered with Curry!
This elementary school student is really terrible! This is the most difficult one that Link has encountered in childhood stars! If it weren't for the injury, Curry might have become famous several years ahead of schedule.
"Three-pointer hit! Stephen Curry, he set the victory for the Warriors in the last 28 seconds of the game! The Warriors achieved a key 1-point lead, which was incredible. Curry played incredible performance in two consecutive games. After this three-pointer, Curry had scored 36 points! 6 of 9 three-pointers were made, with an overall shooting percentage of 61.9%. He used the most gorgeous data to protest people's neglect of him!"
Beside Hubi Brown, his partner was completely impressed by Curry's performance, but Hubi was at a loss.
The worst situation is still coming. In the last 28 seconds, the Grizzlies were 1 point behind, which means they have to play a key goal that determines the outcome!
"Damn! I'm covered my face!" Link shook his hand unwillingly. Fortunately, Curry doesn't like to show off now. If Curry dances on the spot, Link will probably be angry to death.
In the last game, he killed the Thunder with his own strength. Today, he scored another 36 points to win the Grizzlies, and Curry was about to take off. Of course, Monta Ellis' 33 points today cannot be ignored, but his 45.5% shooting percentage is not that impressive compared to Curry.
A defender who relies on shooting as the main scoring method can hit more than 60%, dare you believe it!?
"It's okay, we have another attack, we are only one point behind. We are all cheering up, cheering up!" Hollins' shouting made Link get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind
That's right, Ellis and Curry almost dominated the game. One 33 points and the other 36 points are not easy to mess with.
In comparison, the Grizzlies players' data are much simpler. Guy scored 19 points, plus 17 points, Randolph scored 18 points, Conley scored 16 points, Link scored 15 points, Tony Allen scored 11 points, and the Grizzlies scored almost the same score, and they all scored, but there were no particularly outstanding points.
But whoever can end the game will be the best player today! The goal at a critical moment is more valuable than all scores!
Ellis and Curry haven't held the victory with both hands yet!
"The Grizzlies have tied up with team attacks today. They have no offensive focus. But at critical moments, no offensive focus is a weakness. Hubi, who do you think Coach Hollins will use to end the last shot?"
"I don't know, really," Hubby Brown shook his head. If he was still sitting in the head coach position, he would have a headache. "The Grizzlies have performed almost the same today, both are good, but they are not outstanding. So, it's hard to make a choice."
If you want to say that the hit rate is Gasol, who has just been selected as the All-Star. But using him to perform the last shot is easy to make mistakes or be double-teamed, which is too risky.
The one with the highest shooting percentage in the outside line is Tony Allen, but Tony Allen has the least scoring methods.
So who is left? Conley Link Guy? These three are in similar shapes today, and Hollins also feels that he can't choose.
The disadvantages of team offense are now prominent. At the critical moment, I don’t know who to use.
After the beep sounded, all the Grizzlies fans cheered and cheered for their players. On the Warriors, Mark Jackson replaced Curry with Thompson and Dominic McGuire replaced Alice with a simple purpose, defending this offense!
Ellis and Curry can be said to be both colanders, and Mark Jackson is not so stupid that he keeps his defensive weaknesses on the court at critical moments.
Curry and Ellis stood on the sidelines. They fought for so long, and Curry even contributed a quasi-winning kill. But whether they can win in the end depends on whether their teammates are good or not.
Link looked at Dominic McGuire at 2.06 meters and was speechless. His opponent made such a big guy to watch him, but I only got 15 points.
I really don’t know if I should be happy or sigh when I am overly valued by the other party.
Mark Jackson also knew that Link only scored 15 points today, but he still didn't dare to let Link go. Is there still few magical moments that guy created?
The referee whistle sounded, and at the beginning of the last 28 seconds of the game, Conley came out to receive the sideline ball. The Grizzlies did not rush to attack, but wanted to play steadily.
With 14 seconds left in the game, Conley played double screens with the Black and White Bears, while Guy and Link waited for an opportunity to cut in. In the end, Conley broke through and sent the ball to Guy. Guy shot 50% today and scored the highest in the team. Hollins chose to trust him!
But Guy just received the basketball and was toughly held back by Wright, and Guy couldn't walk in at all.
So, Guy chose the move he relied on most to stop and shoot the mid-range shot!
"No!" Hollins covered his head with both hands. He knew better than anyone else how efficient Guy was in the mid-range shot in the interfering period!
But the road has been done, and Hollins can't change anything.
The basketball finally hit the right side of the basket, and Ellis and Curry raised their arms excitedly to celebrate the victory!
David Lee is about to take the rebound, and he is already thinking about the free throw later. After all, if he wins the rebound, he will definitely be fouled by the Grizzlies.
But just as David Lee touched the basketball with his finger, his other hand also touched the rebound and tried to push it out!
In the end, David Li and the man didn't get the rebound, and the basketball was lit up again. Li turned his head and saw that it was indeed the stubborn nail Link!
Although Link's athletic ability is not that explosive, his ability to take off continuously is still stronger than David Lee's. After landing, he took off twice earlier than David Lee and rose faster. In the end, he won the rebound before David Lee and Dominic McGuire!
"Link got the offensive rebound, what would he do?" Hubby Brown swallowed. This was a rebound worth a thousand gold!
How to do it? Link knew that there was a ghost. Suddenly grabbing a rebound was completely unexpected, and there was no other arrangement. Should he shoot or pass? Players have to make decisions on his own in the shortest time!
Don't think this decision is easy to make. In the future, Smith, in the Cavaliers' era, had the experience of snatching key offensive rebounds and driving to the near midfield line at a loss, and then losing in a daze. After the game, he explained that one was because he was afraid of being deceived by Durant, and the other was because he thought James would call a timeout.
Therefore, I could only be confused and confused.
Link can't let such stupid things happen to him, he must make a decision as soon as possible!
After grabbing the rebound and landing, Link found that David Lee and McGuire were both close to him, and he couldn't see the basket at all. However, he still caught a glimpse of Randolph who cut into the basket through the crack and was unattended!
So Link didn't hesitate. After landing, he didn't even jump, so he threw the ball into the air, wanting to play an air relay with Randolph!
"Link didn't take off, it was a pass, Zach Randolph jumped, but it seemed that he couldn't reach the ball!"
Randolph straightened his arm in the air, but he couldn't touch the ball. His heart was cold and he broke it this time!
As a result, the next second, the basketball jumped into the basket directly, and it was a hollow ball!
Everyone was confused, Ellis, Curry, Mark Jackson, Randolph, including Hubby Brown and his partner forgot to speak. Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked up at the big screen on the scene.
104 to 103, the score was effective, and the Grizzlies led the Warriors by one point in the last 4.1 seconds of the game!
Link did not celebrate wildly, nor did he take the opportunity to swear trash and pretend.
He stared at his teammates in a daze, just like Smith six years later.
Who am I? Where am I? What did I do?
