At the end of the first quarter, the score was 21-21.

As the two giants of the league, such a score has to be said to be a bit too low.

However, this game was not without highlights, and the fierce physical confrontation between the two sides made it very enjoyable for the fans.

Of course, how could you not have Pachuria's "Jiu-Jitsu" performance on the floor?

After being caught in the arm by Pachulia at the beginning of the game, Pachulia "locked" Wade's leg during a defensive pick-and-roll late in the first quarter.

In just one quarter, Pachulia escaped punishment with two painful blows.

At this time, I don't know how many fans watching the game on TV were cursing Pachuria.

No matter how fierce the confrontation of other people is, it is basically within the scope of basketball.

If this exciting matchup is ruined by Pachuria, the fans will definitely be very unhappy.

At the break, both managers were redeploying their attacks. Obviously, whoever can break the deadlock first, who can turn the defensive battle into a goal battle, will now be able to seize the initiative.

Jogle, for his side, needs Link to score more points, and Jokic and Gasoldo need to look for opportunities outside the three-point line instead of inside.

Only in this way can the offensive space be opened. The offensive space was opened. Efficiency is the only way to go.

The second quarter was quickly underway, and the Grizzlies' plan began to work.

After Curry hit a three-pointer at the start of the second quarter, all Warriors fans thought it would be the beginning of the team's counterattack.

As everyone knows, Link immediately returned a heavy punch to the Warriors.

This time, Gasol and Jokic pulled away from beyond the three-point line, and Link's path to the basket was clear.

Link wasn't kindly welcomed, as he shook Durant through a series of stunning rhythm changes to break through his biggest rival and complete a dunk.

After waiting for a full quarter, this blockbuster matchup finally began to spark.

Link dunked Durant's head, which is exactly what most fans want to see!

"Let them go, let them go!" Seeing this, Cole shouted from the sidelines.

He motioned for everyone to shrink their defenses against Link and temporarily let Jokic and Gasol shoot.

In the last game, Coach Rivers used this trick to send the Grizzlies to two consecutive losses.

Kerr needs to bet on the Grizzlies' three-point hand, and if their hand is as bad as the last game against the Clippers, then the Warriors will be nine out of ten in this game!

So the second time, when Jokic and Gasol gave Link a break again, and Link managed to break through Durant.

Instead of continuing to stand stupidly outside the three-point line, Green and Pachulia were very aggressively shrinking inside.

If Link insists on attacking hard, he will face a block from three defenders!

Link, of course, would not choose such an inefficient offensive approach, and when both Pachulia and Green had shrunk deep enough, Link flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Jokic who was in position in the bottom corner!

Jokic didn't hesitate to shoot the ball steadily and seized the opportunity to make the open three-pointer.

Kerr shook his head reluctantly, though a mere shot doesn't tell the whole story.

But at least it shows that the Grizzlies definitely feel a lot better than they did in the last game against the Clippers.

"The Warriors can't give Nikola. Jokic will regret putting such a large space! Pachulia should be pasted, pasted! The local commentators at the scene looked more anxious than Cole, banging on the table and screaming as if they were the manager.

Kerr certainly knows the ball better than they do, but there's no way around it, and if you want to break the deadlock, you have to take some risks.

After Jokic scored, Gasol immediately followed up with another shot. This time, the Warriors' strategy was to put Gasol and block Jokic and Link.

To put it bluntly, it's to see which person in the twin towers feels worse.

The result is that the Grizzly Twin Towers don't feel bad today.

Kerr is completely out of line now, and if he continues like this, the Warriors will be thrown away in minutes.

There is no way, you can only use the conventional defensive way to grind ball by ball.

In this way, the game entered the rhythm of the two sides' bloody defense.

It's not boring, but it's not the pace that the players and coaches on both sides want.

Everyone wants to be the first to establish an advantage, and no one wants to drag the game to the point where it is decided by key balls.

Fans may love the image, but the players and coaches are definitely not interested at all.

The game played another five minutes, and in the seventh minute of the second quarter, Jokic covered Link, who broke through with the ball.

As he went, Link noticed that Green was leaning a little closer to his side, as if trying to help defend himself.

The observant Link didn't hesitate and sent the ball to Jokic with a touch.

Jokic still didn't hesitate, and after receiving the basketball, he bravely attacked the basket directly!

But the moment Jokic jumped to the basket, Green, who was extremely fast, made up for it.

Under the fierce collision, Jokic's layup slammed into the frame. But the offense isn't over yet, and Jokic can only jump as high as a tofu block, but he's been very aggressive in his fight for offensive rebounding.

But Green and Pachulia aren't going to let Jokic pick up the rebound easily.

Jokic clicked on the basketball in the "sandwich biscuit" state of Green and Pachuria, but because of the confrontation, the center of gravity was unstable and fell directly out of the baseline.

There is really nothing wrong with this confrontation, it is all a confrontation within the normal range.

In basketball, it's not like a foul is a foul when someone falls.

But after Jokic fell, Pachulia hesitated for about half a second, then pretended to be tripped by Jokic and sat directly on Jokic's lap!

Link was already back on guard, but suddenly heard a hurried whistle behind him.

Link turned his head to see that it was too late.

Gasol's old punch had already hit Pachulia in the face.

"!" Link sped at full speed, and he wasn't surprised by Gasol's move.

On the team, Gasol has always treated Jokic as a younger brother. Since they play the same position and are all from the European system, Gasol takes good care of him.

In the team, the two have a very good relationship. After the two started at the same time this season, they became a close pair.

And big players like Gasol and Jokic are most afraid of serious injuries.

Due to their height and weight, they will have a harder time recovering from injuries than anyone else.

Yao Ming is a living example of this.

finally watched Jokic slowly rise, and Gasol naturally couldn't tolerate Pachuria's hurtful behavior.

So, the Spaniards went on a complete rampage. Gasol has been a bit irritable this season, mainly because he really hates this kind of deliberately hurtful behavior.

In his eyes, this is unbearable.

By the time Link arrived, the conflict had already taken place. Although he stopped Gasol in time, punishment was inevitable.

However, due to the time when Pachulia deliberately sat on his legs, he should also be in danger.

Link didn't want to blame Gasol for anything either, and as an old fritter, Gasol certainly knew to be calm. But when you encounter some things, you don't mean calm down.

However, to Link's shock, the referee actually only gave Gasol a technical foul. In other words, Gasol will accumulate two technical fouls and go off! And what about Pachuria?

He didn't even get a single ordinary foul!

The referee still thought that Pachulia had really tripped over Jokic just now, so he didn't react!

"You're fooling around." Now, Link didn't agree. He pushed Gasol away, then stepped forward to the referee himself.

"Watch your words, Link." The referee waved his hand, not wanting to entangle with Link.

In fact, if Link hadn't been big enough, he would have just been ready to throw a technical foul straight away.

"Then did you notice Pachuria's movements? If you want the game to go on peacefully, keep an eye on him, bastard! ”

After scolding the referee, Link calmed Gasol and personally sent him off the court.

Gasol angrily threw the towel to the ground as he walked to the sideline, apparently unwilling.

He was not willing to let himself end up like this, nor was he willing to let him beat that bastard of Pachuria.

After getting Gasol safely to the player's tunnel, Link turned around and returned to Jokic and asked about the little fat man.

After learning that Jokic was fine, Link finally went straight to Pachuria.

Seeing Link walking towards the Warriors' half, everyone sweated.

Green immediately became nervous and walked over to Pachulia to block it.

"Link, calm down." Curry, who had a relatively relaxed relationship with Link, stood in front of Link's chest and made a gesture of goodwill.

The players from both sides gathered again, and the atmosphere was more tense than before.

However, Link didn't do anything, and he didn't care about the others. He stared straight into Pachuria's eyes, then pointed at him as if no one else around him existed.

"Put away your dirty moves, idiot. Otherwise, you will pay the price. ”

With that, Link turned to leave.

I don't know why, Pachulia swallowed his saliva, he was actually afraid!

The feeling of oppression just now, he had never experienced before!

Durant and Green swallowed as well.

They knew that Link was really angry at this point.
