The game was dragged into overtime in an extremely dramatic way, and the San Antonio thought they had finished their revenge. However, the seriously injured grizzly got up from the ground and waved his paw fiercely, which made the Spurs bloody.
Popovich braved his anger and returned to the bench, expecting link to swallow his taunts like a tame lamb. But I didn''t expect that link is now an angry bull.
No, it''s a mad dog!
The old man is not reconciled. How can the ball be like that just now? The ball has been bouncing to the middle distance, link Leng is in a very short time, one hand directly put the ball in such a long distance point.
As if even God didn''t want Grizzlies to lose, Popovich was really not reconciled.
Although the Grizzlies only drag the game into overtime, they still steal the victory of the Spurs.
Fortunately, link just leveled the score. If it was a winner, God knows if Popovich will faint because of the blood pressure surge.
But now that the facts have been formed, there is no need to dwell on what has happened.
Popovich calmed down his mood and picked up the tactical board to prepare for the game again.
"This time, we have to get rid of the Grizzlies!" Popovich yelled. He didn''t allow himself and the Spurs to fail again.
On the other hand, link wasn''t over excited by the beautiful make-up.
After the verdict came out, link just let out a roar and didn''t do any celebration.
Link knew that he was just equalizing. The final victory or defeat is not certain.
"Well done, link, you saved the game again. We can''t be led by the nose in the next overtime. Let''s all cheer up. It''s time for us to fight back! "
Joel did not slack off, and immediately picked up the tactical board to write and draw.
In reality, however, the role that coaches on both sides can play is very limited. Playing for 48 minutes has not been able to determine the outcome, both sides have not completely eaten each other''s methods.
If the tactics can solve the problem, the game will be over long ago.
So the win or loss of overtime depends more on the players.
Before he appeared, link glanced at Conley next to him. Conley scored 24 points in the whole match today, and link''s last-minute make-up basket was only 24 points.
In addition, Conley''s 52.2% shooting rate is also very good, the efficiency is very high. Three out of five three-point shots, with a 60% hit rate.
And Parker in Conley''s defense, hit to now only 41.7%. Only 10 points.
In any way, Conley''s performance today is excellent, absolutely all star.
But before the overtime, Conley looked lonely and seemed to have no confidence at all.
There is no doubt that Conley lost his confidence in the final goal.
So link patted Conley on the shoulder before he went on the field. He didn''t want to drag the game into extra time, but he accepted the same ending.
"Cheer up, Mike. I need your help, man." Link smiles at Conley. Sometimes, a smile from a teammate''s trust works better than a thousand words.
"I''m sorry, link... I should have killed the game." Conley shook his head. Sure enough, he was still in the middle of a missed shot.
"Yes, I think so. Well, the game is not over. You still have a chance to kill it. Come on, Mike. It''s time for us
Link said that and rushed to the court from Conley. All of a sudden, the FedEx stadium burst out a fierce cheer.
Conley nodded gently. Yes, the game is not over!
Let me escort you, link!
"The start of extra time did not change the start of the Grizzlies. But for the Spurs, coach Popovich transferred Ginobili, who had just nearly killed him, into the starting line-up, replacing Denny green. I believe that even if the Grizzlies drag the game into overtime, the game will not be easy for them. The Spurs won basketball, and the game starts again
Popovich was on the sidelines in the first second of extra time. He frowned and swept his old benevolent face.
Now he looks like a white haired villain.
The Spurs attack at the same time as the regular season, and their "onion style" offense remains very tight.
In the last round of regular time, Ginobili made a small play big dislocation, and finally let the Grizzlies pay the price.
In the first round of extra time, the Spurs created a dislocation between big and small.
In this attack, Duncan made a sudden cut to force the Grizzlies to change their defense when they did not have ball cover for his teammates.
Later, Duncan in the low position after receiving the basketball, easy to rely on igordala lay up.
Popovich suddenly waved his fist, now the Spurs every goal, for Popovich is a kind of straightforward vent.If you can''t kill Grizzlies once, kill them twice!
Link curled his lips. Although the Spurs'' attack was really reasonable, it would not work without containment.
So this time before the Grizzlies began to attack, link patted igordala on the back, "I''ll go to Duncan in the next round."
Now it''s time for Leonard and Duncan to get a tooth fixed.
But before defending Duncan, link has to lead the team to play well.
The Spurs'' defense is as tight as regular season time. Leonard is like link''s shadow, and he can''t get rid of it.
Duncan is at any time in the interior ready to make up for link, the Spurs'' two forwards today rely on this double line of defense, is to contain link.
Although link now has 24 points in the account, but put aside the last-minute make-up basket, four quarters get 22 points, which is not a high score for link.
Superstars are like this. They can''t be locked up completely. But as long as it can be contained, even if the defense is successful. Today, linck is held back by Leonard and Duncan.
When link received the basketball outside the three-point line, it was obvious that Leonard and Duncan were complementary again.
Link pauses and makes a few gestures.
Gasol saw the situation immediately forward to cover, so that the Brazilian split had to follow.
Pau Gasol''s mid-range shot is still very deterrent. In this overtime game, in which every goal decides the final victory, split dare not let Gasol shoot easily.
Just when everyone thought that link was going to break through under the cover, link hit the ground vigorously and sent the ball to Conley who cut into the forbidden area!
Link''s passing accuracy is as accurate as his shooting. Conley''s ball is steady and straight to the basket.
Duncan had to make up for link, so he stood very forward and let Conley cut in from behind.
Split has followed Gasol out, so the Spurs have no defense under the basket.
At this time Popovich suddenly realized that link had been in charge for so long, not to let himself score, but to create opportunities for Conley!
Conley''s two-step layup was easy and the two sides were even again!
Popovich wanted to roar, but he choked back. Because the Spurs did follow Popovich''s request in defense, but link did not attack as he expected.
Conley is no longer thinking about the all star thing. The only thing he wants to do at this time is to help link win the game! As a result, Bi just focused on
Popovich gritted his teeth, but he believed that the Spurs could soon make Grizzlies pay the price.
Link is ready. The Spurs don''t have a center of gravity, so take everyone as the center of attack.
This time, the Spurs'' tactics and just the same, Parker and split play on the right side, but the actual point of attack is Duncan who is giving his teammates no ball cover!
Sure enough, Duncan turned to cut inside after giving green no ball cover. At the same time, Parker tacitly hoisted the ball in.
Seeing Duncan catch the basketball steadily, Popovich immediately relaxed a lot. There will be no accident in this attack!
Duncan also think so. As long as he can catch the basketball in the low position and play big and small, Duncan thinks that he will not miss.
But this time, when Duncan held up his basketball to attack the box, he found that the man defending himself became link!
"Link''s change defense speed is very fast, igordala also immediately blocked Leonard, did not give the Spurs any extra opportunity! Duncan is still a big fight against a small, but whether he can play an advantage or not is not sure! "
Hubie Brown is confident about link''s defensive ability. Even if he''s defending, he''s one of the best power forwards in the league''s history.
Duncan and link after the confrontation, the first feeling is hard, although link is a No. 3 player, but with the inside line up against the wind.
But Duncan didn''t stop because of link''s strong obstruction, he still raised his arm and hit the basket!
Duncan is 2.11 meters tall, 8 centimeters taller than link.
But Duncan has little bounce now, and link has springs in the soles.
Link jumped up, Leng is relying on the bounce to make up for the height disadvantage.
In Duncan''s moment, link''s hand also blocked the basketball flight path.
Finally, the basketball was fanned out by link, and "stone Buddha" was taken by link!
"It''s done. Link has covered Duncan! The defense was so good that link didn''t give Duncan any chance
Link landing, see Conley has picked up the basketball and fast break. So link quickly followed up, was Duncan defense all night, and now finally proud of a!
This time, Conley didn''t give the spurs a chance to play. He finished the fast break with his own speed and scored 4 points for the grey company.Suddenly, the Spurs are behind.
Popovich is a little nervous. It''s OK to play an extra overtime. But if you play an extra overtime and lose, it is unacceptable.
Link and Conley clapped, their attack and defense let the Spurs into a passive moment.
The tactics are just the tactics, and the people are still the same group of people. But link and Conley''s performance is better than just now.
Two points behind, the Spurs are still in a hurry, running their tactics according to the rules.
The Spurs'' pass is as fast and accurate as ever, and you rarely see Spurs players lose the ball themselves.
But what if the Spurs make mistakes?
The Spurs'' onion attack is really superb, but it''s not perfect. Just before Parker came out of the line, Billie got the ball out of the line.
"When did he come?" Ginobili looks confused. How does link know it will be passed to self-sufficiency?
After playing the whole game, link has actually found some of the Spurs'' offensive routines.
Although the Spurs have a lot of moves in positional warfare, it is impossible to repeat the whole game.
As long as link can correctly judge the other side''s intention, it is easy to get the ball right in his pocket.
And because link is a sudden rush to steal, so after the snatch, can immediately launch a fast attack!
"Stop him!" Popovich gave out a despairing roar, link if this goal again, the Spurs will be 4 points behind!
In overtime, even if it is only four points behind, it is also very dangerous.
Leonard gritted his teeth and made a quick approach to link. Leonard as a third position, this season can contribute 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. There is no doubt that this is the best defensive lineup level of defensive data.
Leonard''s achievements in defense this season are obvious to all. Thanks to his long arms, the blocking and steals in pursuit and defense are all Leonard''s strengths.
But this goal, Leonard is doomed to be unable to steal from behind, because link''s dribble is really excellent, if steals rashly, besides fouls, will not bring any other result.
So, Leonard decided to keep pressing on link, follow him to the basket, waiting for the opportunity to block!
Link glanced back before jumping into the frame and saw Leonard following.
But it was too fast for the rest of the Grizzlies to be in position.
So even if link wants to pass, he has no target. But if you stop. That would be a waste of a quick break.
So link bit his teeth and decided to move on Tai Sui''s head!
In the case of Leonard followed closely, link resolutely chose the take-off layup!
Leonard''s reaction speed is very fast, almost since link raised the basketball moment, followed the jump.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him..." Popovich muttered under the field. All the imps who don''t respect him are doomed to have no good ending!
In the air, Leonard felt his palm getting closer and closer to the basketball that link held up.
As usual, it seems that basketball will be covered!
However, when Leonard''s palm and basketball are close to each other, the slowly approaching distance between them suddenly stops!
"What?" Leonard''s eyes widened. He was surprised to find that, with his athletic ability and arm extension, he could not touch the basketball in link''s hands!
Although only a little bit worse, but a little bit better, a lot worse, no difference!
Link jumped very high to avoid Leonard''s cover. It was as if his head was flat and his forearm was over the basket.
In the end, linckner didn''t call a layup, but put the ball into the box.
Due to inertia, Leonard bumped into link and slapped him on his forearm!
The next second, basketball into the net, referee whistle, link get 2 + 1 chance!
Then Popovich ran away again.
The angry old man scolded the referee a lot of shit, pee fart and the words at the beginning of F. the referee had already swallowed up his anger at the last ball in the regular time.
Now Popovich starts to scold again, the referee is just like link - can''t bear it!
The referee gave Popovich a technical foul, but Popovich still did not stop abusing. Then, the referee did not hesitate to give a second consecutive technical foul!
The fans stood up and cheered, because it means Popovich will be expelled!
"Go away! I can walk back on my own When Popovich found out that he had been expelled, he pushed aside all the people who held him. I''ve sorted out my suit and got ready to go to the players'' aisle.
When he was about to leave, he wanted to leave!Popovich kicked the chair off the bench in a fit of anger, perhaps the most angry night of Popovich''s career in decades.
It''s not because he was expelled, but because Popovich knew that his revenge had failed again.
