342: The Difference Between a Role Player and an All-Star Player (Ask for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)

Although Link led the Grizzlies to chase two consecutive balls after the start of the second quarter, Dior's offense was still very strong.

After breaking through, he distributed the ball to Duncan on the side like a guard in the block of two people, and the fat man did it.

The back singles are like a center forward with a chic hook hand, and this fat man has done it too.

When Spurs couldn't open up the situation, he used a fluid mid-range ball to provide an indirect assist, and Dio did the same. He is like a condiment such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and eating it directly is equivalent to death. But if it is broken up and put in the spur system, it can cook "delicious".

In Vicky's words, "Dior is our all-purpose French dressing." ”

Christian Dior is still an all-round striker, and although he has been somewhat restricted, he has still performed well.

The game lasted until the final five minutes of the fourth quarter, when Dio hit a turnaround jumper on Randolph's head to tie the score again, and Lionel Hollins called a timeout, he didn't want to dwell on Dior anymore.

"Beautiful jumper, Brysdior still hits 100 so far! Dior's shot choices are very smart, and he won't take it easy unless he has the ball in his hand. With 16 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds on 7-of-7 shooting, Brystio's performance today will definitely make Vicky very satisfied! ”

Although Hubby Brown has been towards the Grizzlies from beginning to end, he must admit that he has been a fan of Dior's performance.

After Duncan scored 10 points in the first quarter, the score after that was not so explosive. Dior is the only one who has maintained this efficient output.

During the pause, TNT very "ill-behaved" gave Link a split-screen shot of Dior, and played a comparison of the two stats below.

Link currently has 20 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds, while Dio has 16 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. It's true that Link's stats are slightly better, and Dior does look more like a weakened version of Link.

But considering that Dio is only a role player and Link is an All-Star starting forward, it's natural to think that Link's performance isn't impressive enough.

At the very least, he had to get rid of Dior.

Link was also a little unwilling, thinking of Dior's swaying on slippers, Link was unwilling to lose to such a guy.

"In the last five minutes, we have to play with attacking efficiency! Listen, use Link as the center of gravity and make more balls for him! The defense continued to limit Dior's passing, and would rather let Dior get a single chance than let him pass the ball! ”

Hollins knows that having an offensive focus in key moments is far more certain than playing team offense. He believes that Link's performance in key moments is not comparable to that of Brysdio.

A role player may be able to play similar stats to a star in regular time, but when it matters most, the difference between them becomes apparent. If Dior is the best seasoning, then Link is the best staple food!

Spices can never overtake staples to become the protagonist.

It's not the first time this season that Link has taken on the heavy lifting of the load at crucial moments, and he's familiar with it.

Losing to a weakened version of yourself? That's not going to work!

After returning from the timeout, the Spurs switched to an all-starting lineup, and Duncan and Parker, who had just left the game to rest, all returned. On the Grizzlies' side, Gasol Jr., Conley and Tony were re-employed.

Both sides put on a posture to start a decisive battle, and in the last 5 minutes, both sides couldn't wait.

Dior played a lot of time today, and it is not difficult to see from his moist skin how tired this fat man is today.

Under normal circumstances, Dior would not play more than half an hour in the Spurs, and in the entire Spurs, only Duncan and Parker played more than half an hour in the playoffs.

But today, Dior has played 28 minutes so far. And in the next 5 minutes, if nothing else, he should have played it all.

Dio gasped and walked onto the pitch. Although he was with the Bobcats last season, he averaged 33 minutes per game. But accustomed to averaging 20 minutes per game this season, Dio wasn't sure if he could hold on.

What's more, it's still a more expensive playoff game.

Seeing Randolph running towards him with a fierce face, the French couldn't help but swallow.

I can't stand it!

Randolph had a decent performance today, scoring 13 points so far. It's certainly not like last season, but in terms of this season, it's not that bad.

As soon as Randolph came up, he leaned on Dior and pushed back frantically with his equally fat ass.

Dio had to do everything in his power to stop Randolph from advancing, and he didn't know how Randolph would be beaten at the last moment.

At this time, a beautiful boy passed by Dior with the ball. Dio is stupid, Randolph fought so hard, not to ask for the ball!?

Link wiped past Dior and threw his hand, and the next second, Duncan rushed over. Fortunately, Link chose to throw, otherwise Duncan would have been able to complete the block.

Link scored first, and Leonard was blocked by Gasol Jr.'s cover. The Grizzlies have a two-point advantage, and when it matters most, let's see who can dominate the game on both sides! ”

Link scored with ease, but Dio was out of breath from exhaustion. Randolph just did that, completely out of the deliberate consumption of Dior!

In the next round, Dio was pressed by Randolph from outside the three-point line. Dio tried to pass the ball, only to find that the rest of the Spurs were stuck to him, and the Grizzlies completely cut off his passing route.

Dio then sank his weight and broke through Randolph in a single!

In the first two blows, Randolph really couldn't bear Dior. This guy's tonnage is there, and Randolph can't even parry.

But the moment he went to the basket for a layup, Dio relented. After all, those few strokes just now are too much physical energy.

Randolph raised his hand, and Dior's layup slammed out! It was his first shot miss today!

With great chances and a lot of energy, it was easy for Dio to score. But if you play hard in the most tiring fourth quarter, Dio's efficiency is not so high.

"Dio missed, he didn't score this time! The Spurs did not continue the score, and in the face of desperate defense at critical moments, Dio seemed to be less smart. ”

Dior quickly retreated in frustration, and if that shot had been converted to the third quarter, he would have scored if he didn't keep it even. But now, it's really panting!

Link grabbed the rebound himself and pushed forward quickly. After the Grizzlies attacked, Randolph still made a strong effort in front of Dior. This time, Dio didn't wrestle with Randolph, who knew he was a feint anyway.

In this way, Randolph easily ate to a deep position. Link suddenly made a pass and sent the ball to Randolph!

"What!?" Dio didn't expect Link to really give the ball to Randolph, he thought Randolph was just a bait.

However, Link's mind is clear to no one.

After receiving the basketball, Randolph turned over and made a jumper and threw the ball in from close range. Of course, Link also picked up another assist.

With a four-point lead, two rounds, Dior has not yet achieved anything. Link, on the other hand, has already begun to try to control the game.

Vicky began to let Parker regain possession of the ball, allowing Parker and Duncan to work together to open up the situation. Dio is obviously a little powerless, and at the critical moment, Vicky can't put all the treasure on Dior!

This time, Dio pulled outside the three-point line, as if it was just to open up space. But after seeing Parker break through, he suddenly ran back to the basket!

The Frenchman didn't give up, he's still figuring out how to score!

Dior's start was very sudden, Randolph reacted half a beat slower, and was pulled half a position!

Parker saw this and passed the ball to Dior, who cut inside, and his Frenchman was really trustworthy.

Dio catches the ball, and the big black bear is still chasing after him at this time. There was no one in front of Dior, because the others were already attracted by Parker's breakthrough! He just needs an easy layup to get the Spurs back on the slump!

The "French magician" strained his legs, and his bulky body slowly rose up. Dio was still thinking to himself, if he wasn't so fat, maybe he could just deduct it.

On the commentary stage, Hubby Brown was already praising Parker and Dior's cooperation. On the Spurs bench, Vicky was already applauding.

With a flick of Dior's wrist, the basketball flew to the basket. But the basketball just took off for a second, but the other big hand was between the basketball and the basket, and then it was pumped hard!

"Bang!"

The basketball makes a muffled sound, and Link completes the block!

"Link, nice cap! He aggressively rushed back to the penalty area, and this guy has always been very accurate in judging the timing of the defense! Looking at Dior's surprised expression, the French must have thought that they were bound to win! ”

Before Dio could react to what was happening, Link ran towards the front court first.

This kind of must-score goal has been destroyed, it's too evil!

And Hollins smirked, this is the difference between a role player and a star player in a critical moment!

Link ran outside the three-point line after blocking and received Conley's pass, he took a step forward after receiving the ball, and saw Leonard retreating, Link immediately took a step back and returned to the three-point line, opened up a trace of space, and shot directly!

"Three-point direct shot, Link is not too anxious!"

Leonard blocked it in time, and although Link shook off a bit of space with his step-back step, Leonard still sealed it in front of Link with his excellent arm span!

Vicky snorted lightly, young people are young people, this ball Link threw too impatiently! In his opinion, Leonard's defense is leaky!

However, in the next second, the basketball thrown by Link went straight into the net! The moment the Nets rolled up, Vicky's eyes widened!

"Oh my God, a tough step-back jumper! Leonard's defense looked like it was going to the extreme, and he got all the seals on Link's face, but it still didn't stop Link from scoring! After the block, he immediately gave the Spurs a three-point blow, and Link gave the Grizzlies a 7-point advantage! This is the strength of the All-Star starters, and he is never absent at critical moments! ”

Link's domineering goal made the entire United Center boil. Leonard's sealed defense to the face? Useless! Pretty much the same as Link? Now, see the gap?

The abilities of Dior and Link in key rounds are completely different! Even if he made 7 of 8 shots, even if he had comprehensive stats. But here, he still can't dominate the game.

After following Leonard, another forward for the Spurs is about to be put on his "death list" by Link.
