Link's steals wiped out the Hornets' victory. I believe he has now become the number one public enemy in the entire Smoothie King Center.

Although Paul did not complete the shot just now, Paul believed that he could solve the problem today without anyone defending. However, all this was ruined by the No. 0.

Link walked off the court, and more than 10,000 fans booed. These sounds were all rushed to Link, but Link felt extremely glorious. After all, the more boo you get away, the more trouble you bring to the initiative.

Link is glad he can stop Paul from scoring the goal, he is glad to break the dream of winning by Hornets fans, which is his job.

Hollins didn't expect that this game would end like this. When he was setting up a defensive strategy, he didn't expect that it would be Link who would eventually complete the steal. If it weren't for Link, God would know if he still had the chance to arrange overtime tactics here now.

"Thanks to you, you did a pretty job." After Link got out of the game, Hollins solemnly patted his shoulder. At this moment, it seemed that Link was the star of the Grizzlies, not Guy.

Although Link's key steal just now was very beautiful, the Grizzlies players were not happy for too long. After all, the game has not ended yet. If you lose in overtime, then Link's steal just now would be worthless.

So, not long after the joy, the entire team fell into a tense fighting atmosphere again. However, until now, the coaches on both sides actually don’t have many ways to restrain the other side. If so, the game would not be as good as overtime.

Therefore, what kind of overtime can be played depends on whether the players perform well on the spot. In this overtime, Hollins has to re-evaluate the order of the players' attacks.

Today, Rudy Guy is a player with a lot of shots in the game, and he has taken 23 shots. However, under Ariza's defense, he only hit 8 goals. Guy's shots were nearly 10 more than Paul, but he only scored 2 more points than Paul. There is no doubt that his low efficiency is affecting the Grizzlies' winning rate.

Hollins thought about it for a long time, but finally decided to exercise his head coach's rights. "Overtime, Rudy, I need you to attract more offensive firepower. Link, Conley, you two look for opportunities. Remember, we must play more efficient offense than the previous four quarters to ensure victory."

Hollins' meaning is very clear. Guy is no longer the main attacking point of the Grizzlies, but Link and Conley are. Guy nodded lonelyly, and he had no reason to refute.

After all, his shooting percentage is there today. His hit percentage is only 34.8%, and even he himself is unable to satisfy.

Guy and Ariza competed for four quarters, and it turned out that he was unable to turn the tide today. Since that was the case, he also felt that he did not need to continue to be persistent.

For victory, give the opportunity to your teammates.

The electronic beep sounded, and the smoothie king center became lively again. Hollins didn't say anything more. He looked at the five people in front of him, especially Link. He clapped his hands and pointed to the stadium, "The opportunity is on the court, we have to grab it ourselves."

At the beginning of overtime, Gasol Jr. still competes for the first attack for the Grizzlies. For the regular season time of the four quarters, the result of the game does not seem to be important. After all, in the end, everyone can get two first attack opportunities on average.

But in overtime, the result of the ball scramble is very critical. The result of the ball scramble will determine who can take the lead in the attack, and the side that takes the lead will likely gain the initiative in one of the few 5-minute games.

You should know that both sides will enter overtime, which means that their strength is close. Even if they are close to strength, even if they are one goal ahead, it is quite critical.

In overtime, the Hornets' defense focus was still on Rudy Guy. After all, he is the player with the most shots in the whole game and has the greatest chance of shooting.

Hornets coach Monty Williams really hopes that Guy will continue to play singles because he believes Ariza will keep Guy's shooting percentage lower today.

Sure enough, Conley immediately passed the ball to Guy after reaching outside the three-point line. Guy took the ball and made a three-threatening move, and seemed to continue playing singles!

But at this moment, Guy suddenly uploaded the ball from Ariza's head. In the astonished eyes of everyone, Link ran out and received the basketball at the free throw line.

After receiving the basketball, Link did not make any adjustments and directly took off the jump shot! His movements were very smooth, and even Belinelli's defensive movements were not that smooth.

Link's mid-range shot is very steady, which makes people feel at ease when watching it. Sure enough, basketball is hollow and into the net, and Link once again gave the Hornets a major blow in a simple and unpretentious way!

"Rudy Guy actually passed the ball. This is the first assist he gave to Link today. If he could pass the ball in the fourth quarter, the game would probably be over now. But it doesn't matter, it's not too late to calm down now. Rudy Guy assisted Link to complete the shot, which is undoubtedly the result that the Hornets did not expect. And Link has also scored his 22nd point today, yes, 22 points!"

Barkley deliberately emphasized Link's score, and Kenny Smith scoffed at it. He believed that only the stars could dominate overtime.

Link's steal just now is just good luck.

Paul vaguely felt something was wrong. Could it be that the Grizzlies wanted to use Link as the main attacker? If so, the team must change their defensive strategy. Link is indeed very strong, but if Ariza is used to guard Link, he would not be so magical.

With this conjecture, Paul first assisted David West to equalize the score. Then, he decided to observe the Grizzlies' offense.

However, this time the Grizzlies' goal is no longer Link, but Paul's match against Xiao Kangli.

Link did receive the basketball this time the attack, but he did not take action by himself, but instead fought with Conley to cooperate.

After handing over, Link took the opportunity to stop Paul. Conley seized the opportunity and made a long-distance jump shot and shot again in the basketball.

Conley is the most efficient player in the game today, no one. His shooting percentage is not only higher than Link, but even higher than both inside players, Gasol Jr. and Randolph.

After this goal, Conley has made 9 of 11 shots today, scoring 22 points with a terrifying shooting percentage of 81.8%!

Now, Paul was in trouble again. He made his opponent play such an efficient game, so he naturally felt that he couldn't stand it. Maybe the Grizzlies didn't want Link to take the lead from the start. Their real main attack point in overtime was Conley?

Guy, Link or Conley? The Hornets couldn't find the defensive focus for the moment. Fortunately, the Hornets' own offense maintained high efficiency. Paul and West's mid-range shots frequently hit the basket. In 2011, mid-range shots were still the favorite offensive choice for most teams.

After five minutes, the two teams still tied, and no one could defend against each other!

In the last 23.8 seconds of the game, Lionel Hollins used the last timeout in his hand. Paul was so strong that he deserved to be one of the strongest point guards in the league.

When Guy no longer makes a fuss and when the Grizzlies improve their offensive efficiency, Paul actually has a way to make the Hornets tighten the score. This is the difference between an excellent point guard and an ordinary point guard.

So the game reached this desperate moment again. 112 to 112, and the two sides drew again. However, this time, the Grizzlies had the last attack and became the Grizzlies. They held the opportunity to kill the game, and it depends on whether they could grasp it.

"The Grizzlies are a team that is good at defense. They may be able to defend the final goal, but they may not be able to execute the final goal." During the suspension, the right to speak for the game naturally returned to Kenny Smith and Barkley.

"You can pull it off, Kenny. None of the things you predict today is reliable. You said the Grizzlies could not resist the Hornets, but they played overtime. You said Link would do nothing at the critical moment, but he broke the Hornets' dream with a steal. Now, you said the Grizzlies could not execute the final kill. Instead, I was looking forward to what would happen later."

Barkley stared at the Grizzlies' bench. During the overtime, Guy did not take any moves, and all 10 points came from Link and Conley. But this does not mean that the Grizzlies will choose Link and Conley to end the game.

After all, Guy also hit a key three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Moreover, Hollins is not impossible to hit the ball to the Black and White Bears.

Who will the Grizzlies choose to perform the last shot? This is a question, and it is also a question that the Hornets urgently need to figure out now.

In fact, Hollins was also struggling. This might become his most important decision today, so he dared not be careless.

Using Conley, using Guy, or using Randolph? The three of them have their own advantages, but also their own disadvantages.

Conley and Randolph's defenders were too strong, and Guy felt bad today. No matter who he chose, it seemed like a gamble.

"Gambling?" Hollins looked up and looked at Link who scored 4 points and 1 assist in overtime. This undrafted team had already saved once in the fourth quarter. Is it possible to save the second time?
