1143:Master Acrobatic in the Air (4th Shift)
Clay. Thompson, he's definitely the kind of player who can't judge people by their looks.
Judging by his appearance alone, you might think he's just a mediocre white soft guy. Whether on or off the field, this kind of guy won't make a fuss.
However, first of all, Thompson, he is not white. Second, on and off the court, Thompson is anything but good.
Off the court, Thompson's girlfriend changed more frequently than Rodman's hair color back then. It is no exaggeration to say that Thompson is definitely the first brother in the NBA romantic world.
And on the court, Thompson often does some unbelievable things.
He is not the No. 1 person on the Warriors, and everyone positions him as the best second.
However, 40 points in the half, 60 points in the third quarter, 37 points in the first quarter, and 14 three-pointers in a single game all came to Thompson.
His scoring explosiveness is undeniable, and once he enters "Buddha Mode", it means that a new record is about to be born.
Thompson has created countless incredible moments, so when people saw Thompson hit three in a row in the fourth quarter, everyone in Oracle Arena regained their confidence.
This unseemly guy has entered the "Buddha mode".
After Thompson scored eight straight points, the experienced Iguodala drew a foul with a beautiful break to stop the Grizzlies.
Iguodala is indeed a reliable veteran, although he has been completely relegated to the bench this season. But Iguodala is never absent when it matters most.
However, at the free-throw line, Iguodala hit just one of two free throws. Although the situation was stabilized, the difference was not effectively opened.
The Warriors also lived up to Iguodala, and subsequently, Stephen. Curry's three points made the Grizzlies suffer another heavy blow!
"The beginning began, and the feelings of the Splash Brothers began to infect each other. After Thompson scored eight straight points, Curry also threw away. Now, the difference is forced to be within 20 points! I take back what I said, the game is far from over! ”
Mike. Brin said, glancing at the Grizzlies bench.
Sure enough, Link was talking to Georgel about something. I guess I'm talking about a reappearance!
But when the Splash Brothers both threw their senses, could Link really stop them in time?
Mike. As soon as Brin thought about it, he heard a hurried whistle.
It turned out that it was Curry's breakthrough that caused Harrell to foul. But before he could be violated, Curry threw the basketball high and hit the board.
In other words, Curry got a 2+1 chance!
"Looks like we don't have a choice, Dave." Link looked at Curry and clenched his fists.
Joggle pouted, and Link's break was unexpectedly terminated.
Curry didn't give up, and he hit the free throw line solidly and scored a three-pointer.
This also means that the Warriors narrowed the gap to 15 points in one go!
With 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, trailing by 15 points, garbage time was completely shattered by the magic of the Splash Brothers.
Joggle called a timeout as Link stood up and took off his training clothes.
Seeing this, Warriors fans were excited and scared.
Excited because the game has regained its suspense.
But scared, because the monster in the dark blue No. 0 jersey showed his fangs again......
"Link decided to return to the game, which was definitely an unexpected situation for the Grizzlies. Everyone thought the game was in garbage time, but now Link had to come out and clean up the pieces. The Splash Brothers and Link, who will have the last laugh? Let's wait and see! ”
Link was very calm after coming on and did not mess up because the opponent was pressing close to the score.
Indeed, the point difference was recovered by the Warriors quite a bit. But a 15-point lead is not a small number, so there is no need to panic.
It's not the first time Link has encountered a "Buddha's light" situation, and the Thompson guy always comes to this from time to time.
However, not every time the "Buddha shines", the warriors are sure to win the game.
When the game restarted, the Grizzlies' lineup changed to Dinwiddie, Link, Richardson, Harris and Jokic.
The Grizzlies didn't continue with the twin towers because Gasol and Jokic had already played a lot of time in the first three quarters.
Joggle thought he could settle the game in three quarters, so he just let them play for a while. It's just that I didn't expect that something would go wrong now.
The playing time of the big man players, Jogger is strictly controlled. Gasol and Jokic, the two "European fortresses", have a greater chance of being injured than other players, so they need to be carefully protected.
In fact, sometimes, this kind of big player is more like a petite woman.
On the court, you need to let them get the ball once in a while, otherwise their enthusiasm for pick-and-rolls, fast drives and rebounds will gradually wane.
They need love and need to be coaxed every now and then. If you ignore them, they will be unhappy.
What was the problem Howard had in the previous years? It's that he partnered with two guards who wouldn't coax the big guys.
In addition to coaxing, big players need to be protected, just like your girlfriend.
If Chairman Yao had been protected back then, it is estimated that he would still be able to play now.
The Twin Towers must stay healthy, as they are the Grizzlies' killer weapon for the Warriors and Cavaliers.
Therefore, the extra playing time in the first three quarters of the game can only be subtracted from the fourth quarter.
Kerr was overjoyed to see that the Grizzlies weren't continuing with the twin-tower lineup.
Harris is certainly a strong striker, and although he is not a traditional interior lineman, his mobility and range are very much in line with the requirements of the No. 4 position in this era.
However, Harris's appearance means that the Grizzlies' interior advantage is gone! Next, the Warriors can confidently and boldly use Green to defend Link!
Happiness came so suddenly, Cole couldn't believe it.
Harris is handed over to McCaw, who doesn't have to worry about being ravaged by a lump of pork belly.
Draymond. Green crossed in front of Link with his fists, and he was as excited as if he had seen a big black girl.
"I'm waiting for you all the time, Link! I miss you, so I'll take good care of you, bastard! As soon as Green got close to Link, he immediately spat out the fragrance.
Durant also stood up and threw punches hard, and now the situation is simply too favorable for the Warriors!
Link didn't respond to Green, he just stared intently ahead, ready to start attacking.
This offense was important for the Grizzlies, who had not scored in the past few minutes, except for one free throw from Iguodala.
That said, from the beginning of the fourth quarter until now, the Grizzlies have not scored a single successful athletic battle.
Link needs to break this scoring drought to really suppress the Warriors' momentum and boost morale on the Grizzlies' side.
With the fans shouting "defend", Dinwiddie was ready to pull away and eat Curry.
However, as soon as Dinwiddie broke through, Thompson immediately shrank back to help Curry defend.
Dinwiddie saw this and passed the ball to Richardson, but before Richardson could shoot, Thompson returned to him.
For Richardson, Thompson's almost infallible defense is still very tricky.
After all, he doesn't have enough to force Klay on defense.
Just as the basketball was about to stop, Link went around to pick up Richardson.
Just now, Link shook off Green a position with a superb reverse run, which was just enough distance to catch the ball.
Richardson didn't hesitate, Link came up to score, and he handed the ball over steadily.
After receiving the basketball, Link suddenly sank his weight to the left, as if he wanted to break through from the left side.
Seeing that Link's center of gravity sank so low, Green had no choice but to take a step sideways.
But sure enough, it was just a feint.
After tricking Green into moving sideways, Link nimbly changed hands from behind his back, as if playing on a street court, and passed past Green.
"It's pleasing to the eye, and I bet if Link wore a wig and makeup, he would be more Uncle Drew than Uncle Drew."
Link passed Green, more easily than one might think. As it turns out, even if Green does defend in front of Link, he still has a way to get rid of it.
Link strides two steps into the box after Javier. McGee stepped up and blocked Jokic's receiving route!
Link doesn't know if McGee's defense of cutting off the passing route this time was a coincidence or a deliberate one, but judging by the number of times McGee has been embarrassed, Link believes it was a coincidence.
No way, even if you want to pass the ball, you have to pass it in the air!
So, Link jumped up at McGee. However, "Olajuki's" athleticism is not comparable to Pachuria's.
In the air, McGee was like a big net, completely covering Link.
Link still can't see Jokic, but if he goes straight to this, he'll get a hot pot from McGee nine times out of ten.
Although often ridiculed, McGee's ability to protect the frame is undeniably strong.
As a result, Link writhed his waist and abdomen in the air.
I saw him stick to McGee in the air and make a 360° turn, and dodged McGee's block in this unbelievable way!
After passing McGee in the air, Link lifted the basketball to make a layup.
Green smiled, he deliberately didn't jump just now, just to prepare a praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind!
Just because you've passed McGee doesn't mean you're safe!
Green didn't jump until after Link had finished turning in the air, waving his unicorn arm at the basketball.
However, Link, like a long eye in the back of his head, actually retracted the basketball in the air and made a pull-up layup.
Green pounced, and after Link switched the basketball to the other side, he picked it up nimbly with his wrist and the basketball obediently climbed onto the basket and crashed into the net.
Durant, who originally came up to cheer for his teammates, was stunned.
Do you want to pull the rod after turning 360° in the air?
Link used his ability to stay in the air and do whatever he wanted!
"In! Link dodged McGee and Green's defenses. It's outrageous, it's outrageous! How many more aerial moves does Link have left unshown us? It's unbelievable! ”
"Link is a master of aerial acrobatics, and I bet no one can replicate his moves in real combat. It's so hard, it's incredible to think about. ”
In an exclamation, Link landed deftly.
He didn't look at McGee and Green, who were already dropping their jaws behind him, but turned to look at Durant, who was stunned in place, and made a downward gesture.
"Sit down, Kevin. Of course, if you want to applaud me, I'm very happy. ”
Durant's hands dangled in the air, embarrassed as he didn't know where to put them.
He originally wanted to applaud the team's successful defense, but he didn't know that Link actually scored the ball in such an unbelievable way.
This ball is like stepping on the brakes for the high-speed approaching warriors, and anyone who has driven the car knows that emergency braking in high-speed situations will turn over if it is not good.
Now, it's up to the Splash Brothers to hold on to their last few minutes.
Before the light of the Buddha could fully shine, it was covered by a huge shadow.
