1100: Single-handedly finish Durant

Marc Gasol being sent off, fair or not, is a huge positive for the Warriors.

Indeed, Gasol failed to control his emotions, causing a commotion twice, and it was inevitable that he would receive two technical fouls.

But Pachulia was given even a common foul, which is not very reasonable.

But now Link doesn't want to dwell on what has happened, the game is not over yet, and he can only focus on the game now.

The most important thing now is not to complain, but to find a way to solve the chain of crises caused by Gasol's absence.

What is the saying? If you want to be fair, you should go to sports, but if you want to be absolutely fair, you should not come to sports.

In fact, sometimes this imbalance and uncertainty is one of the reasons why the game is full of uncertainties.

The Warriors continued to attack, and their confidence was even greater than they had just been. Gasol was sent off and Jokic stepped into the No. 5 spot. And the No. 4 position can only be filled by Tobias Harris.

In this way, the Grizzlies are equivalent to a lineup of one big and four small. This also means that the Warriors can finally play a small lineup.

They are no longer contained by the Grizzlies' twin towers!

At this time, the Warriors' on-court lineup is Curry, Thompson, Livingston, Durant and Green, which is their favorite lineup combination!

Pachulia was replaced, and he estimated that he was breathing a sigh of relief. If he stays on the field, God knows if he will be killed by Link.

Steve Kerr's hanging heart also let go of most of it, and the biggest difficulty in this game was the Grizzlies twin towers.

As everyone knows, the twin towers are self-defeating!

After switching back to the small lineup, the Warriors' flowing offense reappeared.

Despite winning the championship last season, the Warriors still don't support individual heroism, and they are still one of the league's most pass-intensive and offensive teams.

Complex tactics mean difficult execution and low completion rates. But with the Warriors, Kerr had never seen anything like it.

After a few passes, Curry borrowed Durant's off-ball cover to get a chance to shoot from the bottom corner.

Curry raised the basketball and dummered a shot, lighting up Harris, who had to be blocked.

The "schoolboy" took the opportunity to break through with the ball and threw it in the face of Jokic.

"It's alive, the Warriors' offense is finally alive! Now there are only 2 points left and the defending champions are about to fight back! ”

Mark Jackson applauded, and now, Durant's double dedication may become a reality.

After the Grizzlies attacked, Jokic tried to single Green in the low post.

However, the powerful Green didn't let Jokic take half a step forward. There was no way, and Jokic transferred the ball to his interior partner Harris.

However, under the interference of Durant's huge defensive range, Harris's first mid-range shot hit the iron.

After grabbing the rebound, Green directly counterattacked with a long pass in the backcourt, and the rhythm of the game was instantly taken up by the Warriors.

Klay Thompson received a basketball near the free throw line and made a quick stop and gently pulled up the shot.

Wade, who is chasing back, will find it difficult to overcome the effects of inertia even if he tries hard.

"The Flash" rushed over the head and Thompson was barely disturbed.

The basketball entered the frame again, and the Warriors scored 4 points in a row to tie the score!

"Beautiful counterattack, that's the rhythm of the Golden State Warriors. Now, it only takes one more goal for the Warriors to equalize! As long as you keep up the good work, the record can match the Grizzlies! Mark Jackson was looking forward to it as much as the fans live.

At the same time, the live footage meaningfully gave Pachulia a close-up on the bench.

If the Warriors can win today, the Georgians are definitely the number one contributor!

Indeed, there is nothing remarkable about his stats. But getting Gasol sent off had a bigger impact on the game than the stats.

At this point, all the Warriors players became extremely bloodthirsty. If they play one attack and one defense, they will be able to overtake the score, this is the opportunity they have been waiting for for a long time!

But at this point, the ball was passed to Link.

The Grizzlies' star is stepping up and regaining control of the game.

"Link picks up the basketball, defends his Livingston! Link is the anchor of the Grizzly Bear, let's see if he can stabilize the situation at this critical moment! ”

Without the support of the Twin Towers now, the Grizzlies' offense will undoubtedly become more difficult than it was just now.

But it doesn't matter, the role of a superstar is to score the ball even when there is no chance!

Link leaned his back against Livingston and pushed in very forcefully.

Livingston's strength is simply not enough to defend against Link, and seeing Link's advance layer by layer, Klay Thompson is ready to step forward to help defend.

But before Thompson's bag could come up, Link beat Livingston with a beautiful mid-range turnaround jumper.

The Warriors finally saw the hope of overtaking the score, and now they have been ruined by Link.

He suddenly stepped forward, interrupting the warrior's initial emergence.

"Good ball, Link's use of back-to-back singles is nothing short of perfect! It's Link again, and he's once again on the Warriors' path to victory. Arguably, he is now the biggest obstacle for the Warriors. ”

"I'll take care of him!" Durant patted Livingston on the shoulder and motioned for the two to switch positions.

On the next offense, Green pulled Jokic away from the basket, and Stephen Curry borrowed Durant's cover to complete the break.

Link switched defenses as soon as possible, but Curry's high-throw layup was too chicken-thief. Even Link would be hard pressed to risk such a layup.

The score was levelised again and the cheers of the fans grew louder.

This game has finally changed from a defensive battle to a goal battle!

All Warriors players believe that the Grizzlies won't last long. Under their fierce counterattack, Link could not complete the score on his own.

The time to overtake the score is close at hand, maybe in the next round!

However, Link let the Warriors down again.

This offense, Link confronted Durant on the right side of the court.

Green, meanwhile, stayed on the edge of the three-second zone.

With his ability to move, he can quickly move up to Jokic from beyond the three-point line and pounce in time to stop Link from hitting the frame.

Link eventually broke through to the basket along the baseline, Durant clinged to Link's side and didn't let go, and Green quickly rolled over and ran back to the basket.

The moment Link jumped, Durant and Green also jumped up, and their arms sealed the entire basket tightly!

But in the face of such tight defense in the air, Link just calmly retracted the ball to his chest, and when he glided along the baseline to the other side of the basket, he turned his back to the basket and made a rebound.

A pull-up layup under the two-man defense, Link scored very excitingly!

"What more can I say? It's a giant planet. But for Link, this pull rod is not very difficult. ”

Mark Jackson shook his head, now the Warriors will either defend against Link, or attack harder than Link.

If you continue to punch and kick me like this, the situation will not benefit the Warriors at all.

After the goal, Link also pointed out two fingers at Durant, which meant very obviously.

He's asking Durant, "What about your double payback?" ”

Durant was so angry that he gritted his teeth, so much so that after an attack, he ignored Curry, who had already borrowed the no-ball cover to run out of the gap, and chose to play one by one!

Green yelled at Durant on the court, but KD turned a deaf ear.

It seems that the contradiction between Durant and Green in the future did not appear suddenly, but was the result of accumulation for a long time.

But Durant wants to single out Link, but that's exactly what Link wants!

Indeed, the Warriors' lineup is as star-studded as the NBA's Real Madrid.

But what makes the Warriors really strong is not the star singles

Durant tried several times to get rid of Link with shaking, but without exception was accurately judged and blocked by Link.

Durant is very embarrassed, and out of so many players in the league, he may only be so embarrassed when he runs into Link.

After a period of swaggering on the outside, Durant still didn't get any decent opportunities.

In the end, he had to choose to go up against Link's defensive mid-range.

However, this is the most inefficient option when facing Link.

Most of the time, Durant's pull-up jumper is undisturbed.

For one thing, his height and arms are outstanding, and it's hard to be disturbed. Second, Durant's own ability to shoot jumpers in interference is also strong.

But in the face of a defensive player like Link, who has a near-perfect judgment of timing, Durant is deflated.

Link's blocking timing was not bad at all, and when Durant jumped up and was about to make a shot, he found that Link's palm was just in the way of shooting!

Now Duran specifically said that he threw the ball in, if he made a rash shot, it was even very likely to be directly covered!

Durant had to turn up the arc of his shot, and the basketball barely got past Link's fingertips.

But the basketball's flight distance was shortened as a result, and it smashed into the front of the basket.

"Missed, KD missed the opportunity to equalize, Link is in great form today, he won't allow the Grizzlies to go through three straight defeats!"

In fact, it was not just a three-game losing streak, and Link did not allow his career plan to make another half-point difference.

After interfering with Durant's shot, Link ran forward without looking back. He knew that Jokic kid was going to get the ball over.

Sure enough, Jokic protected the defensive rebound and once again showed that his passing skills were not inferior to Gasol's.

In terms of the center's ability to attack directly after grabbing rebounds, the Grizzlies are properly the first in the league.

This long pass in the backcourt is very accurate, and Link doesn't even need to dribble after receiving the basketball, and can just take two big steps and dunk.

The Warriors' plan to overtake the score has been stranded again!

"Beautiful goal, Link stepped up in these key rounds and helped the Grizzlies stabilize the situation! The loss of Gasol is indeed a huge blow to the Grizzlies, but as long as Link is there, no amount of blow can crush them! ”

Green sighed, the enraged Link was indeed very dangerous.

Seeing that Durant was helpless by Link's defense, Kerr couldn't help but shake his head.

Link is indeed very strong, and this incredible draft pick does have the qualifications to be the first person in the league!

But basketball is not just a heads-up game.

Kerr called a timeout again, he needed to adjust the Warriors' offense and calm Durant.

Link and Durant went head-to-head, and he did have the upper hand.

But what if he's going to face the firepower of an entire Warrior force?

Link is a superstar, but not a superman.
