At halftime, there weren't many fans in the Oracle Arena smiling.

58-55, the Memphis Grizzlies returned to the locker room with a three-point advantage.

Although the 3-point gap is not large, the Warriors have not been able to attack for a long time when the opponent has lost Gasol, which is really very disappointing for the Warriors fans at the scene.

The entire second quarter became Link's personal performance time.

He was always able to step up and defuse the Warriors when they were about to overtake the score, scoring one amazing goal after another.

At halftime, Link had scored 22 points. In the second quarter alone, 14 points were recorded.

And Durant only scored 14 points in the two quarters combined, and he didn't score much in the first quarter of the defensive battle between the two sides. In the second quarter, he went head-to-head with Link, and Durant also repeatedly hit a wall.

Now, Duran specifically said that he was doubling back, and he couldn't even be on par with Link.

Everyone felt that the Warriors must be quite depressed at this time, and they must be anxious.

However Steve. Cole was interviewed on the sidelines, but he looked calm.

'We're only three points down and we're in control so far. In the second half, we took a shot. ”

Cole's tone was calm, and his composure didn't seem like he was pretending.

In fact, Cole is not pretending.

Link's performance in the second quarter of the game was simply astonishing. He single-handedly filled the void left by Gasol's departure. He single-handedly dominated both offensive and defensive ends.

But again, the second quarter of the game was quite a huge drain on Link!

When you have to face a defender like Durant every game, even if you can score, you have to pay a huge price. Not to mention, you have to face Durant's impact again and again on the defensive end.

What's more, the Grizzlies still just finished back-to-back games. And in those two back-to-backs in Los Angeles, there was no garbage time.

That said, Link's playing time is not small.

The next second half will be a very tough test for Link.

Moreover, the Warriors will also change their offensive strategy in the second half. Kerr decided he wanted to help his team regain the advantage from beyond the three-point line.

In fact, after that timeout in the second quarter, Kerr's changes had already paid off.

If it weren't for Link's outstanding, the Grizzlies wouldn't be leading the way right now.

But in the second half, Link didn't necessarily stand up.

The cheerleading girls at halftime didn't make much of a splash, after all, the people who came to watch the game were here to watch the men.

Although the half-time break was short, it was as if the fans had been waiting for centuries.

The interval between the exciting games is so impatient.

Fifteen minutes later, players from both sides were back on the pitch.

Link came up at the start of the second half, even though he only had a two-minute break in the second quarter of the game.

Seeing this, Cole waved his hand!

He's going to use the league's heaviest offensive firepower to devour that guy!

"The Warriors' offense became very fast and they were passing the ball a lot. It's clear that they've reduced the number of singles and focused more on teamwork. ”

Mark. As Jackson spoke, Thompson took advantage of his teammates' coverage and passes to shoot a three-pointer.

At the start of the second half, the Warriors equalized the score.

Soon, "Savior Link" was online again. His resolute breakaway caused a defensive foul on Durant and managed to get two free throws.

Despite the foul, Kerr could see that Link's footsteps were already a little heavy.

If you have enough energy, the ball just now may be 2+1.

Link hit two free throws, but he also took longer to breathe between the two free throws than in the first half.

After the free throw, Link can't start running right away.

Because the Warriors opened a fast baseline shot, how fast and how fast the pace should be.

Gradually, the Warriors began to grasp the initiative, and the point difference was gradually widened.

Link and the others are still resisting, but with the Warriors' super-high three-point shooting rate, their resistance is somewhat weak.

By the eighth minute of the third quarter, the margin had widened to 12 points.

Link was already out of breath, he was too tired to do it.

It is indeed not a good choice to fight a small lineup with the Warriors with Durant. The third quarter of the game seemed to instantly send Link back to last summer, to the days when he lost to the Warriors.

"The Warriors are leading by 12 points, and the Grizzlies are playing more and more passively! Sure enough, a basketball game never knows the outcome until the last second! When the Grizzlies were dominant in the first half, many thought the Warriors were finished. But now, Kevin is trying to make his goal of double the return! ”

Mark. Jackson wasn't alarmist, and if the game continued like this, the margin would have been widened.

Whether the game will be played at that time is not necessarily.

"Damn, I can't continue to fight with them in a small lineup, it's basically hitting their hardest parts." Quinn. Snyder was a little unable to sit still, and the Warriors with Durant were almost invincible in the rhythm they liked.

Jogger didn't answer, and of course he knew it. But now, he has no way to force the Warriors to change formations.

Harrell, while also very good, struggles to pose a threat to the Warriors' defense due to his lack of height and autonomous offensive means.

After two more minutes of play, the margin became 16 points. This is still when Wade scored two three-pointers at a critical moment, otherwise the difference would have been 20!

On the court, Durant finally began to trash talk with Link.

Now Link, he can afford to mess with it!

"Don't worry, your double reward package is coming soon, bastard!" Durant chattered in Link's ear, and Link didn't even have the energy to fight with Durant.

Just then, Joggle called a halt to the game, and he couldn't sit back and watch any longer.

"The Grizzlies were stopped, and I can't remember how many times they were stopped in the third quarter. However, with only two minutes left in the game, no matter what adjustments Coach Jogel makes, it should be difficult to get results. ”

Mark. Jackson shook his head, believing that the Grizzlies had begun to mess with themselves.

Link stepped off the pitch and draped himself in a towel. As soon as I lowered my head, large pieces of sweat began to drip onto the floor.

"It's tough, guys, but you can't give up. Next, we need to push the Warriors to slow down, and we need to regain the advantage on the inside! ”

Joggle slammed his fist into the tactical board, hoping to cheer everyone up.

"Link, Richardson will play for you next. You take a two-minute break, and the fourth quarter ...... I may need you to fill it up. ”

After Joggle finished speaking, Link nodded, not trying to take over the head coach's job.

Players and coaches must also trust each other.

"Next, Zach, you and Jokic are on the inside. On the offensive end, we try to make the ball as far as possible on the inside! ”

As soon as Georgel said this, everyone's eyes fell on old Zack.

Randolph this year and Tony. Aaron is basically two bench seats.

But although he didn't play much, the confrontational training in the team never fell behind.

Now if you don't want to be led by the nose by the warriors, this can only be actively changed.

Randolph nodded, and quickly stood up.

At the same time, countless live cameras are also aimed at the big black bear.

Cole looked at the big screen and smiled disdainfully.

So, the Grizzlies' current savior is an old-fashioned Zach. Randolph?

The warrior won!

Randolph moved for a moment, then looked at Link, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong? Zack. ”

"Remember the last time I won the championship, I asked you after the season was reimbursed?" Randolph's expression was serious, and in a critical moment, this fat man would never pull his crotch.

"Hmm...... I don't remember. Link waved his hand in embarrassment.

"At that time, I asked you to take us to the top, and you did. Now, I'm going to try to get the team out of this situation as well. Then, you take us to the top one more time. ”

At the end of the timeout, a staggered Zach stepped onto the court.

The Memphis team has a deep heritage.
