Chris Paul found it extremely interesting to see Link staring in his eyes after he dunked.

What does this mean? Is this undraft challenging himself? Paul is not a player who will underestimate his opponent at will. He admits that Link is very capable and his ability is beyond the reach of ordinary undrafts or even some first-round rookies.

But no matter how powerful that guy is, he is just a role player, not a superstar! Paul will not be fooled by a role player, or just a make-up dunk, which will not have a decisive impact on the game.

Paul then continued to perform his commander duties. This smart No. 3 managed the Hornets' offense in an orderly manner, and he and David West's pick-and-roll were played vividly.

On the other hand, Mike Conley's performance today was unexpectedly outstanding. Perhaps because of the super defender, Conley became more and more courageous today. Although Paul's defense is very tough, Conley always seizes fleeting opportunities.

In addition, Link also gave Belinelli a headache today. The Italian is not a player who is good at defense, and Link's diverse offensive methods made Belinelli's face dim.

Of course, there are players with good performances in both teams, and naturally there are players with bad performances.

Ariza played a very good restrictive role against Rudy Guy today. This defense-friendly No. 3 player made Guy at a loss. If nothing unexpected happens, Guy will play another game with high scores and inefficiency today.

Ariza also felt bad today. He received a wonderful pass from Paul several times, but failed to convert the opportunity into scores.

The two teams kept stalking the scores in mutual restraint and restraint, and took the lead alternately. Paul did not expect that the "unclassy" Grizzlies would cause such big trouble to his team, and the Grizzlies did not expect that the Hornets' determination to win was as firm as they did.

The score difference has been wandering within 5 points, and the game has reached the fourth quarter in this anxious situation.

In the stands, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley praised the game. The TV station did not expect it, and the excitement of this game was definitely the best today.

In the last 42 seconds of the game, Rudy Guy's jump shot outside the three-point line scared Link in a cold sweat. After all, Guy's shooting percentage today was really too low. At the critical moment, he actually jumped directly, which made Link admire Guy's psychological quality.

What he admired was not that Guy dared to shoot at the last moment, but that Guy still dared to use the team's victory or defeat as a bet when he was so inaccurate.

Fortunately, this time Rudy Guy showed the qualities he should have as a star. Guy's pull-up jump shot into the net, and the entire Smoothie King Center sighed at that moment.

"The ball has entered! Rudy Guy is really brave enough to shoot at a critical moment! Today, Guy's shooting percentage has fallen below 40%, but he is still not afraid to take action!"

"Yes, this is what the stars do. Even if they have been in a bad mood in previous games, they cannot underestimate their ability to end the game at a critical moment. Guy's three-pointer helped the Grizzlies lead the Hornets by 2 points in the last 42 seconds. This is a huge advantage for the Grizzlies!"

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley gave Guy a unanimous praise, but Link didn't agree. Guy's shooting just now was too risky, and he was simply joking about the team's victory or defeat.

After falling behind by 2 points at the critical moment, Chris Paul was still calm. After returning from the timeout, Paul's organization outside the three-point line was still stable and he did not look irritable.

This time, Paul first passed the ball to Belinelli. But today, Belinelli, who performed averagely today, was not an offensive point, he just played a role in turning the ball around.

Originally, Belinelli would be one of the Hornets' most important offensive points today, but Link obviously did not allow Belinelli to play Korver's performance.

So far, Belinelli has only 8 points. He has already allowed Link to score 20 points!

That's right, Link has scored 20 points today. He and Mike Conley have contributed 20+ points to the team with limited shots.

If Rudy Guy had not occupied a lot of attack rights, their scores would have been higher today.

After receiving the ball, Belinelli immediately returned the ball to Paul. At this time, Paul had already used the unstoppable cover to reach the outside of the three-point line.

After receiving the basketball, Paul directly raised the ball, as if he wanted to return a three-pointer!

Mike Conley immediately reacted and flew to save. He knew that as long as he defended this goal, the Grizzlies would have touched the victory with one hand.

However, just as Conley started to jump, he regretted it. Because he found that Paul's feet were just heels leaving the ground, and this guy didn't plan to jump at all!

Sure enough, the next second, Paul took the ball and flashed in ghostly, and he successfully broke through Conley!

When he reached the middle distance, Paul made an emergency stop jump shot. The emergency stop jump shot at the middle distance position is Paul's specialty, and he will hardly miss it.

"brush!"

"Do it!" Link cursed, but it was not because he was dissatisfied with Conley, but because he was not in control of his emotions.

At the last moment of the game, the Hornets even tied the score, which made Link feel a little unwilling.

"Chris Paul, he was so familiar with the road that Conley flew away. This guy was able to make shooting fake moves calmly at critical moments. He is truly one of the strongest point guards in the league. I still retain my opinion, Charles. I think the Hornets will win because they have Chris Paul Grizzlies at critical moments, and there are not many players who can handle the ball at critical moments. Before the game, you said Link could perform well. Indeed, he performed very well today. But where is he at critical moments?"

Kenny Smith said and started to quarrel with Barkley again. In fact, this is also the most attractive thing about this ace combination.

"The game is not over yet. Kenny, let's go to a conclusion after watching the game." Barkley didn't want to pay much attention to Kenny Smith, but he really had no reason to refute it.

Indeed, Link seemed to disappear at the critical moment. This is not a big deal, but Link couldn't get the ball at the critical moment.

Although he is an old acquaintance with Kenny Smith, Barkley doesn't want to lose face. So deep down, Barkley still hopes that Link can show off and block the mouths of his old friend and old opponent.

If you can't get the ball, you can also make up the dunk like you did at the beginning of the game.

On the court, the Grizzlies started attacking 28 seconds before the end of the game. The Hornets' goal just now was quick, which won them at least one offense opportunity. Although that attack might only take 4 seconds.

There is no doubt that Conley will spend all his time and squeeze the Hornets' offensive time as much as possible.

Conley fixed outside the three-point line, waiting for the time to pass by in seconds. Paul was not in a hurry to grab it. If he made a gambling steal at this time, it would be no different from suicide.

Conley had been controlling the ball between the midfield line and the three-point line until 8 seconds left in the game, before he handed the ball to Guy who had been pocketed!

"It's Rudy Guy, the Grizzlies' last shot is still Rudy Guy!"

As soon as Guy received the basketball, Randolph and Gasol Jr. were in place! Link pulled to the right bottom corner and was ready to finish the shot at any time.

Guy took the ball around Randolph, preparing to give Paul a quick stop and jump shot. But what he didn't expect was that Ariza quickly bypassed the cover and came up!

Seeing this, Link hurriedly cut to the basket. As long as Guy could find himself and turn a shot into a pass, he could end the game.

Unfortunately, Guy did not pass the ball. He forced his move against Ariza's defense, which eventually led to the basketball hitting the frame!

"The ball was not in, it was not in! Rudy Guy's last goal was a bit reckless. He made a reckless move last time, but this time, he was not so lucky! The Hornets still have 6 seconds of offense, and they have paused! Now, the Hornets have a chance to kill the game!"

Kenny Smith shouted excitedly on the commentary stage, and as excited as he was, there were tens of thousands of Hornet fans in the Smoothie Kings Center.

Guy shook his head unwillingly, feeling that he should have killed the game. However, he was now beginning to be disliked by some teammates.

Barkley also sighed. He saw Link who cut in just now, and Belinelli did not follow him. It was an excellent opportunity!

But the view of the basketball court from the commentary stand is completely different from the view on the court. Guy may not have seen Link, and did not deliberately not pass the ball. After all, not all forwards have a wide vision like Link and Hill.

"You must keep it! You have to put pressure on the opponent from the sideline! But remember, you must not foul! If you send the opponent to the free throw line, everything we did today will be in vain." During the suspension, Hollins said nothing else, and he poured all his efforts into the defensive end.

Link listened carefully to Hollins' arrangements, and at the same time he was thinking about the offensive routines that the Hornets might use. Today, he and Paul have not yet decided on the victory. If they lose like this, Link would be frustrated to death.

It was already awkward enough to be thrown by Korver yesterday, and Link didn't want to repeat the old path.

At the end of the timeout, everyone from the Hornets appeared confidently. The Grizzlies players were on the verge of ready. Link was always thinking about the past few attacks and predicted the offensive strategies the Hornets would use later.

The Hornets served the sideline ball, and David West gave the ball to Paul. But Paul did not play singles directly, but handed the ball to Link's opponent Belinelli.

Link came to Belinelli, but suddenly remembered the attack of the Hornets in the last round! If that's right, then Belinelli's next step should be

Paul borrowed West's cover to the outside of the three-point line. West made a little move when setting up the pick-and-roll and moved a small step. Strictly speaking, West had moved the cover violation. But as long as the referee didn't see it, it would be a good ball.

Under West's small move, Conley was completely blocked, and Paul completely got rid of Conley. Now, Paul is waiting for Belinelli to pass the ball!

The Hornets No. 3's eyes were staring at their Italian teammates, and he also saw the No. 0 guarding Belinelli.

I have to admit that Paul admired the strength of the No. 0. He scored 20 points on Belinelli's head in various offensive methods today.

But in the basketball game, there is only one winner. Paul believes that he will win!

"I'm sorry, Asian boy!" Seeing that Belinelli was about to start and play the ball, Paul said goodbye to Link in his heart.

However, just as Belinelli passed the ball, Link stretched out his long arm and intercepted Belinelli's pass!

Paul widened his eyes. It was impossible for human reaction to cut off the basketball at such a close distance!

Unless he had expected Belinelli to pass the ball to himself!

"Berlinelli's ball was not passed, and was intercepted by Link! God, who can tell me what kind of god's reaction speed is this! Almost at the same time Belinelli started to pass the ball, Link reacted! This is unreasonable!"

Kenny Smith has been a little incoherent and has never seen such steals in his commentary on basketball games for so many years.

Link grabbed the basketball and threw the ball to the frontcourt at will. At the same time, the timer on the rebound sounded. Although Link missed his ultra-long-distance shot, his steal destroyed the Hornets' last offense and helped the Grizzlies drag the game into overtime.

"Damn it!" Paul looked at Link. He even thought he was going to win. Unexpectedly, the boy forced to change the situation.

If the meat in your mouth is stolen by someone else, you will feel angry if you put it on it!

"Did you see it?? What am I saying? That kid will never disappear at a critical moment, absolutely!" One second ago, Kenny Smith was still dancing, and the next second, the person became Barkley.

On the court, Link was surrounded by his teammates. When Conley was lost, Paul could probably kill the game as long as he could catch the ball. Therefore, it can be said that Link saved the fate of the entire Grizzlies. He did not complete the final kill, but did something that might be more difficult than the final score.

Paul sat down on the court in annoyance, his mind was always filled with the face of the Asian boy.
Chapter completed!
