512: Suddenly very nervous

Mo Williams was chased and a violent scene appeared in just the second round of the game.

However, there was no cheer at this time, but it was much quieter. After all, this was the energy program arena and the Jazz's home court.

Link's slap not only slaps Mo Williams' layup, but also hurt the hearts of Jazz fans.

Hayward's joy of scoring a goal on Link's head just now hadn't lasted for long, and Link brought everyone back to reality.

Amid Kante's yelling, Link passed the half. Iguodala just took the ball with the ball for two consecutive attacks. This time, the Grizzlies changed their strategy.

Iguodala is not a scorer. Although she has a height advantage, it would be a bit difficult for me to force Iguodala to play singles because of this. Originally, Iguodala came to the Grizzlies just to not be a scorer.

Link made several gestures outside the three-point line and instantly became the organization striker. It is not difficult to see how focused he has become at this time.

Link handed the ball to Randolph who was lifted up and pulled it outside the three-point line on the right.

Hayward is always on Link. He is worthy of being a student of Stevens and has high requirements for defense.

Just when people thought Randolph would hand the ball to others, Link suddenly cut in! Hayward posted it immediately, but Link was faster than Hayward. After two or three steps, Link opened up half of the space for his body.

Randolph's "conductor tower" gently sent the ball in, and half of his body space was enough for Link to receive the basketball.

Link killed the basket, and Al Jefferson was ready.

Although Jefferson has a vicious face and a strong body, he seems to be like a tall and shrinking version of O'Neal. But his defense has always been a weakness, the main reason is that his speed is too slow and his awareness of repairing defense is not active enough.

Link had already reached the basket, and Al Jefferson had just arrived.

Faced with this kind of "late" repair defense, Link will naturally punish him severely.

With a beautiful dunk, Link still chose to use a dunk to end the attack under the squad of Hayward and Jefferson.

Since just now, Link has completed his high-altitude homework again.

"I can still force a dunk without completely getting rid of Hayward. I have to say that Link's style of playing is getting more and more violent."

"No, he can just be very rough. But Link didn't lose those technical things. His speed of progress is indeed unmatched."

Even the local commentator in Salt Lake City had to praise Link.

Linksong landed on his hand and the basketball made a "crying" sound.

Hayward and Jefferson look at me, and I look at you, both of them are very helpless.

Both of them knew that today, they were in trouble.

Link's extremely violent attack and defense made the Jazz's arrogance instantly suppressed.

Now, they all saw the gap in strength between the two teams. Not to mention anything else, just Link alone is enough for a headache for the Jazz.

The oppression of a superstar is sometimes so powerful!

The Jazz tried to attack again, and they played a tactic that was exactly the same as the first leg. Millsap held the ball at a high position, and Hayward handed the hand.

But this time, as Link and Randolph discussed. Randolph changed defense the moment the opponent handed in hand, and did not give Hayward a chance to shoot easily.

Hayward was about to jump, but found a "meat mountain" standing in front of him.

The first reaction of this white forward is to break through, small to big, and breakthrough is the best choice.

However, Randolph was not so easy to get rid of. Perhaps because he expected Hayward to break through, Randolph's reaction was very timely. The first step was to move across and block Hayward's way.

Although Hayward has strong ability to fight, his weight and strength are somewhat inferior to Randolph.

Hayward was forced to stop, and in desperation, he had to pass the ball to Millsap, who was cutting into the penalty area!

Although Millsap is a power forward, his height is similar to Link. Therefore, Link is not at a disadvantage when he misplaced to defend him.

On the contrary, Millsap, who was unable to match the dribble and speed, had some difficulty facing Link's defense.

Before Millsap could get the basketball firmly, Link seized the opportunity and suddenly took action, causing the basketball to lose control.

Millsap didn't expect Link to have such a quick hand. He usually competed with the fourth position, so Millsap didn't have to worry about being intercepted. But this time he had a big loss when he met Link for the first time.

The out-of-control basketball was finally picked up by Randolph. Millsap made a mistake and Link got a steal!

Now, Kanter didn't say anything anymore. From Mo Williams, Hayward, Jefferson and Millsap, Link has caused four of the Jazz's five starters to suffer.

As it turns out, Link is not only bullying small people. Link can bully everything from position one to position five!

Link's steal eventually made the Grizzlies have a 3-for-2-for-2 situation in the frontcourt.

Iguodala assisted Conley to complete a layup, and the score on the court also became 6-3. It seems that the difference is not big. But Tyrone Corbin knows that the Grizzlies are gradually controlling the situation.

So Corbin yelled in the field, signaling to hit the ball into the inside as much as possible.

Millsap and Al Jefferson are two inside offensive weapons, which would be a pity if they didn't use them.

It was not until Al Jefferson scored a hook goal in the low post that the Jazz finally stabilized the situation.

Gasol Jr. defended very hard, but Jefferson was the only one who made the offensive job. Not to mention Gasol Jr., even when facing Yao Ming, Jefferson played like a fish on the offensive end.

His low-post offensive skills are very solid and his steps are very exquisite. Nowadays, few centers in this league have such superb low-post offensive skills. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "living fossil" in the center position.

However, Jefferson's goal only eased the Jazz's decline. In the subsequent games, the Grizzlies still played well under Link's leadership.

Conley's three-pointer, Gasol's mid-range and Randolph's turnaround jump shot all cost the Jazz.

After eight minutes of playing, Link assisted Gasol to make a mid-range shot, widening the gap to 6 points!

Tyrone Corbin hurriedly called for a timeout, and he needed to make some adjustments.

You can't be complacent because you're only 6 points behind the league's first. The Cavaliers were only 3 points behind the Grizzlies before the fourth quarter final game began. What's the result? Tyrone Corbin doesn't want to follow the old path of the Cavaliers.

Al Jefferson walked off the court panting, and the strong man was already wet.

There is no way, Jefferson's consumption was indeed very large in the first quarter. He could indeed score a goal on Gasol's head, but it was undoubtedly very huge to score a goal under the defense of that "European Fortress" and fight Gasol in a low post.

In addition, the Grizzlies' frequent breakthroughs have also made Al Jefferson run away. His defense has never been outstanding, but not being outstanding does not mean that he has to give up on defense.

Seeing someone breaking through the penalty area, Jefferson naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Jefferson was "tortured" on both offense and defense. This led to Jefferson being in a panting after only 8 minutes of the game.

"Al, you're doing a good job. Take a break first and you can play again when the second quarter starts." Taylor Cobin patted Jefferson on the shoulder, then turned his head and looked to the other side of the bench.

When he turned his head over, he found that Kanter was also looking at him.

"Ennis, I'm going to take over Al. I don't care what you said before the game, anyway, everything will follow the plan, okay?"

Sure enough, Tyrone Corbin let Kante play.

For some reason, Kanter was a little nervous for a moment. At the beginning of the game, he was very eager to fight. But now, Kanter's desire for battle is a bit more anxious.

"I want you to keep your advantage as much as possible. If the opponent plays Azeli, you can teach me a good lesson to the first-grade center! You know that from now on, the victory of every game is very important to us! And the competition in every round has played a decisive role in every game. Don't mess it up, perform well!"

Tyrone Corbin said something cheering to Kante before he appeared.

Kanter nodded slightly and was eager to try. But before appearing, Kanter still looked at the Grizzlies' half uneasy.

As a result, Kanter discovered that Link was waving at himself on the Grizzlies bench!

In an instant, what Tyrone Corbin said to Kanter had lost its effect.

Link's performance today is obvious to everyone, and basically everyone has suffered from him.

Kanter couldn't help swallowing, and was targeted before he even came on the court. But who could he blame? The war was initiated by himself.
