Kawai Leonard, a year ago, few people knew the name of this guy. But now, he''s a favorite of San Antonio.
But today, San Antonio''s favorite is struggling. Leonard''s last game was 3-for-3, making him popular and concerned. But today, Leonard is almost gone on the offensive side.
Link proved with his own practical actions that Laozi is not so easy to be knocked down!
Give up the game? It''s the most important thing in the world.
Leonard received the basketball outside the three-point line. According to the tactics, Parker just passed it to Leonard for a change.
But even so, link did not relax his pressure on Leonard. Link raised his arms directly up against Leonard, and both of them came together.
The Spurs'' attack was thus interrupted. The turning point of Leonard couldn''t get the ball for a while, which was a huge blow to the team and system attack team of the Spurs.
Leonard held up his basketball. The only thing he could do now was to keep it from being snatched by link. So he didn''t dare to put the ball down at all.
Link kept pressing but didn''t foul. Combined with the video and link''s understanding of Leonard in the future, he is very clear that Leonard''s biggest shortcoming in this period is not shooting, but the ability to deliver the ball is not enough!
After receiving the basketball, Leonard''s passing is very hesitant, facing the press and bag, Leonard is also very easy to make mistakes.
It''s just that Leonard is only a 3D player now, so few teams will trap or press him. As a result, Leonard''s shortcoming is not so easy to detect.
But it''s a pity that since Leonard was suppressed in the last game, link has made up his mind to fight Leonard to death. He''ll take all Leonard''s faults and give him a good beating!
Leonard hesitated for a long time in link''s press, and finally rushed out the ball. The object of the pass was Ginobili who came out to meet him.
But Leonard''s pass was slow and floating, and it didn''t move the ball at all. Tony Allen, who was chasing Ginobili, rushed forward one by one to destroy the bad pass.
If there is a mistake, there is a counterattack.
Tony Allen cut the ball and immediately sent it to Conley. Conley passed it to link, who faced Leonard''s defense and made an easy shot with a European layup.
After link''s goal, the cheers in att center ushered in today''s lowest ebb. The No. 0 roared up to the sky and vented all his frustrations in his heart.
"23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. The most important thing is that link''s shooting rate is as high as 60%! Leonard''s defense doesn''t seem to work. Link''s extreme control of details today makes him always able to find a fleeting gap
Cole has to blow up link''s attack today, from data to looks like a top scorer.
It can be seen that Leonard''s defense has not weakened, still strong. However, link adjusted in time to adapt to this strong defense.
The defensive side can''t defend link, Leonard is also bloodletting in the attack end today.
In the last game, 3 out of 3 scored 16 points. Today, I''m playing 2 of 6, only 4 points are recorded.
This is also Leonard does not wave to throw, threw 6, knew not to attack very much. Otherwise, the hit rate may be lower.
Of course, Leonard certainly has no hope of turning the tables today. After all, after this counterattack, the game will end in only three minutes. The Spurs, on the other hand, are eight points behind.
Although Leonard didn''t play to the expected level today, Duncan and Parker''s two people played well together. Both of them are very efficient today, so that Grizzlies have not been able to completely open the score.
But until now, Duncan and Parker''s offensive stability has begun to decline. It''s hard to put the whole team''s offensive pressure on the players who are no longer light in these two grades.
Link''s goal, let Popovich once again suspended the game. The old man can see that link must have done a very detailed study of Leonard after losing to Leonard the day before yesterday.
God knows how many game videos he watched, in short, link caught all Leonard''s weaknesses today.
This kind of opponent is really terrible!
"Stevie, you come out and continue with link mill. Consume him, disturb him, make his score not so smooth. We are not finished, no one can give up! I can only accept that we went to Memphis with a score of 2-0, other results are not ideal, understand? "
Popovich decided to use "martial saint" Stephen Jackson to confront link. Leonard has been proved unable to play a role.
Popovich glanced at Leonard after the game resumed. The boy had no expression, but his fist was always clenched.
I think it must be very reluctant.
He is well known for his defense, but today he has become the background board for link to show his all-round offensive skills.
"Sooner or later you''ll be a great player, but it''s not the time. These setbacks are what you have to go through. " Popovich looked at Leonard and said something to himself, and then he turned his attention back to the game.Steven Jackson was a champion at the Spurs, and at that time he was also very fierce in defense.
But the hero doesn''t mention the courage of that year. It is obviously unrealistic for you to let the 34 year old Stephen Jackson play the state he was ten years ago.
Stephen Jackson played link last season when he played in Bobcats. At that time, Jackson was very slow for link. What''s more, it is link who has become stronger in all aspects.
Pausing back for the first attack, Duncan''s roll over jump shot hit the box. Pau Gasol in the defensive end is not a light to save fuel, coupled with Duncan''s own physical decline, these all affect Duncan''s shooting rate.
But this attack did not advance, for the Spurs, the blow is huge. Because it means the Grizzlies will have a chance to double-digit scores!
Conley did not play complex, see link to the ball, he obediently handed over the ball.
Link played Stephen Jackson outside the three-point line, confident. Leonard has survived, not to mention a "martial saint" who has been unable to fight.
Link held the ball and made a few feeler steps. After shaking Jackson''s center of gravity, he made a cross step to stop the middle shot.
Assassin''s mace!
Elegant and unrestrained, basketball without suspense into the net, Jackson only surprised, link end the attack!
"Brush!"
"Very, the Grizzlies have the biggest lead today."
"Ah Popovich sighed. Link is getting stronger and stronger. The guy''s progress is faster than the Spurs'' reinforcement.
Last year, a Richard Jefferson was abused by link. This year, for the more powerful Leonard and Jackson, the result is still no way to link.
Popovich then made a few gestures, he motioned to the Spurs to open the bag! In the face of this kind of guy, there''s only a bag!
So it''s time for link to perform his passing skills. Link is not Leonard. He has been very efficient in the face of the bag. In the first round, link delivered the ball to Tony Allen.
Although Tony Allen''s mid shot failed, Popovich was also frightened in a cold sweat. For link, the use of the bag seems to be very limited, he can still find the vacant teammates.
Hollins saw the Spurs start to use the package, and immediately replaced Tony Allen with bondset. In this way, the Grizzlies can shoot in all five positions! As long as link can pass the ball, the Grizzlies can score! Tony Allen''s embarrassment of failing to shoot in the open position will no longer exist.
So link delivered four assists in one breath in the last few minutes, until the electronic buzzer sounded.
"105-94, this is a loss San Antonio fans don''t want to see! Link had 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists. He helped the Grizzlies win by 11 points, bringing the total score of the series to 1-1! It also means that the Grizzlies are going to return to Memphis with home court advantage, as link said
At the end of the game, the whole city of San Antonio was lost. In the second game of the link series, he cut down two double figures and played with the same high efficiency as before. In other words, the Spurs didn''t really limit him at all.
Those who are defeated by the lust for link are just lying to themselves.
Link''s first low was like a nap, and now the predators wake up.
After the game, Popovich''s face was dignified, completely did not have the appearance of banter before the game began. How could Popovich laugh after losing 11 points.
Asked why Leonard was completely suppressed by link today, Popovich pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"I don''t know how he did it. He seemed to know all Leonard''s faults and moves. As long as Leonard holds the ball, link knows what to do with him. He''s strong. Really, we have to keep putting pressure on him
Popovich finished and wiped his face. There are enough monsters in the west, but now there is one more.
A player who can grasp the opponent''s shortcomings Popovich thought about it carefully. Before that, only Kobe could achieve this extreme!
Link is not Kobe. By now, he has become as dangerous as a viper.
Popovich immediately felt a lot of pressure, he and his team, to go to Tennessee hell once again.
Will last season''s nightmare reappear?
