As soon as the game came up, Leonard cut out Link's layup.

At this moment, even the fans who didn't pay attention to the Spurs before were nervous.

It's no secret that Link's turnover rate has consistently been at the bottom of the league. He's not like the likes of Harden and Westbrook, who have a lot of assists and a lot of turnovers.

As the Grizzlies' main point of possession, Link's average of only 1.4 turnovers per game can be said to be quite exaggerated.

What is the concept of 1.4 turnovers per game? Jordan Jr. of the Clippers, a pie-eating player who barely carries the ball, averages the same number of turnovers per game as Link.

Normally, a ball handler with less than 2.5 turnovers per game is pretty good.

Even the "gods" of the year averaged more than two turnovers per game.

Leonard has done a very good job of controlling turnovers, but is also averaging 2.1 turnovers per game this season.

Link, on the other hand, is only 1.4!

It can be seen that Link is not only passing the ball and rarely making mistakes. In the process of attacking with the ball, he also rarely made mistakes.

But today, he made a mistake as soon as he came up! All of this is thanks to Leonard. It is impossible for someone who has no real kung fu to force Link to make a mistake.

"The Spurs attacked again, and both teams each defended each other for one round. I don't know who will be the first to break the deadlock today. ”

Hubi. As soon as Brown's words fell, Danny, who had been cutting inside the basket along the baseline. Green suddenly ran back, turned his gun and shot outside the three-point line.

Parker delivered the ball as soon as possible, although the Frenchman's stats don't have much to show now. But there's no doubt that no one understands Spurs' offense better than he does.

Green's move is already one of the Spurs' classic tactics, but even so, he still relies on it to get several shots every game.

But this time, when Danny. When Green received the ball and shot, Wade raised his hand to interfere with it for the first time.

"Dwayne defended nicely, he didn't give Green any space. It can be seen that he worked very hard today, and Green's counterrun just now actually won him space to shoot. But Wade was stunned to use his enthusiasm to make up for the gap! ”

"Bang!"

Under Wade's interference, Green's shot hit the side of the basket and hit the first shot!

Watching Jokic protect the rebound, Link smiled with relief.

It seems that Wade also knows the importance of today's game.

A veteran like Wade, compared to when he was young in the past, he broke out a game and needed to save up several games.

It's like accumulating ultimates in a fighting game, and you have to fill up the energy bar to make a kill.

And in the few games when accumulating power, the performance of this veteran is often decent.

So it doesn't matter which game you choose to break out into.

There is no doubt that Wade has chosen to save his strength for this game, so there is nothing to scruple and reserve.

The moment he chased Green's shot just now seemed to let Link see Wade before the Heat's Big Three.

Quick, decisive and ferocious, it is not easy to score on the head of Wade like this.

The Spurs are strong defensively, but make no mistake, the Grizzlies' defense is also impregnable!

Wade's successful defense put the opportunity to break the scoring drought in the hands of the Grizzlies once again.

This time, for the first time, the Grizzlies fell into position on the offensive end and the Spurs.

Facing a defender who has been severely degraded Tony. Parker, Conley chooses to call cover and break through on his own!

Parker's footwork and confrontation ability are really not top-notch at the moment, and he relies more on experience and awareness on the defensive end.

Faced with the cover of Jokic, a white fat boy, Parker couldn't do anything at all.

It's the first time I've seen an NBA player with such a big cylinder and all fat flesh......

Conley rounded the screen and burst into the box for a layup. But at this time, Dedmon stepped up and didn't give Conley any chance.

The Spurs' defense is a holistic defense, and similar to the Warriors and Celtics, they are very good at using team strength to compensate for the shortcomings of the defense at the No. 1 position.

But Conley isn't Westbrook, and he's not going to force his way into the frame against a co-defender.

Seeing Dedmon coming up, Conley secretly pushed the ball from his waist and sent it to Gasol!

Gasol was just about to make a layup, only to find Leonard lunging towards him. So, he patiently passed the ball again, and the target was Link, who was released from beyond three points!

It has to be said that Gasol's passing vision is wide enough, but because Leonard raised his arms high, Gasol can only pass a high lob ball.

The biggest advantage of the high hanging pass is that it is easy for big players to receive and is not easy to be tackled, and the biggest disadvantage is that the flight speed is extremely slow.

Seeing Gasol pass a high lob ball, Leonard immediately reflexively chased after Link again!

From the very beginning, he wanted to force Gasol to pass the ball. This kind of extremely slow pass, Leonard can easily catch up.

Link took the ball immediately after receiving it, hoping to make a shot before Leonard's interference came up.

It's a pity that the moment he made a move, the big hand still covered his vision.

Leonard ended up running through the pass!

"Boom!"

Basketball hit the ground again, and Link's three-point shooting ended in the same way as Green.

"Oh my God, the Spurs' defense is really messed up! Mike. Conley had obviously torn out the gap, but he was stunned and resolved by the Spurs one by one. Especially Leonard, who ended up almost single-handedly defending Gasol and Link! ”

", it's amazing, this can catch up." Link pouted, it seemed that the "facial paralysis" was determined to play with himself today.

In that case, most people might just give up on defense. After all, it's just the regular season, and it's not a crucial round yet.

But Leonard ran with all his might and defused the crisis.

The score was still 0-0, and neither team could score.

This season, Link has played a lot of offensive battles with others. The terrible historical-level data of 50+15+15 and four doubles are all played in the attack.

But today is different, the two sides have started a war of mutual defense.

The Grizzlies missed again, and now, the chance to break the deadlock is in the hands of the Spurs!

At this point, Leonard finally didn't plan to wait any longer, he was going to meet Link in person.

In fact, if it weren't for Popovich's emphasis on wholeness, Leonard would have gotten the ball long ago.

Don't look at Leonard's stats this season are so dazzling, but in fact, he still got the stats in the "sealed" situation.

Popovich's emphasis on team basketball style more or less curbed Leonard's stats. If Leonard had changed teams, he would have done better.

Therefore, Leonard's attack power is actually more terrifying than what he shows in the data.

After Leonard received the basketball outside the three-point line, he didn't hesitate, and directly played a block with Aldridge, and then immediately broke through!

Aldridge can shoot from the outside, so Jokic can't help Link with the defense, and Link has to solve the problem on his own.

Leonard just broke through and didn't take two steps before he wanted to make a quick stop.

Leonard's current offensive skills are quite comprehensive, and shooting is no longer Leonard's shortcoming.

Link jumped around cover and rushed back to interfere, and of course he knew Leonard's offensive threat.

However, Leonard just made a gesture of worshipping Buddha and pretending to throw!

After shaking Link up, Leonard leisurely passed past Link and successfully broke through!

"Link was actually shaken up, God, I've never seen him deceived!"

Hubi. Brown is not calm, there are not many people in this league who can make Link feint. As it stands, Leonard has completely suppressed Link.

With Aldridge and Dedmon pulling the Grizzlies' twin towers away from under the basket, Leonard's path to breakthrough was extremely smooth.

He jumped high with all his strength, and his arms were ready to exert force.

The grievances of losing last season's tie-break, he must vent them all today!

Link is indeed strong, but he is not invincible either.

"Ahh Leonard let out a low roar, his muscles tense and ready to smash the ball to the basket.

But just as the basketball was about to enter the frame, Link's slender arms appeared between the basketball and the basketball.

Leonard slammed the ball into the basket, but it landed Link's hand! And the other side of Link's arm was just lame on the basket, which was equivalent to two opposing forces squeezing Link's arm!

Hubi. Brin covered his mouth when he saw this, he was so afraid that Link's arm would be broken because of this! From the side, he could clearly see that Link's arms were slightly bent back jointed.

Eventually, the basketball was blown off by Link. And what about Link himself? He just flicked his arm, and it was fine.

"Blocked the dunk, Link didn't give up after being shaken away, he rushed back in time and successfully stopped Leonard! Two great defensive players, playing great defensive performances! ”

The fans also cheered, and it stands to reason that the most exciting moment on the basketball court should be the moment when the goal is scored.

But Link and Leonard have made the defense extremely exciting!

Conley was the first to rush up to catch the basketball that bounced out, and then he quickly went down to the basket to score, and the Grizzlies finally broke the scoring drought first.

However, these 2 points do not mean anything, and now, Link and Leonard are still 0-0, and the two sides are still drawn.

Link looked at Leonard with a hideous expression. This expression Leonard has seen, and this is the expression on Link's face during the tie-break last season!

And when Link's relaxed expression becomes hideous, nothing good is often done. Because, this is a sign that Link is ready to play with you!

"I can't score and you don't want to score comfortably. I want to go wild on my turf, I want to fart! Sure enough, Link soon began to spout trash talk. Leonard wants to play with him, and he will accompany him to the end!

Although Leonard was expressionless on the surface, he was shocked by Link's block just now.

After being shaken away, he was able to catch up, and he blocked such a powerful dunk!

With that dunk just now, Leonard almost used all his strength. He couldn't imagine how Link had the courage to come up and stop him.

That kind of cover, if you don't get it right, your arm will really be broken!

"What a madman!" Leonard muttered to himself.

As people expected, these two large killing machines began to rub sparks against each other!

In the following games, this brutal scene will definitely be staged frequently.
