Crotch crossing is not really a street court sport.
In the NBA, although there are not many examples of crotch crossing, they are not without trace. And even in the fierce playoffs, there have been images of crotch crossing before.
2007 finals, Spurs vs Cavaliers. At that time, Manu Ginobili broke through Daniel Gibson with a cross in the crotch and made a successful layup.
Ginobili''s career in the crotch has been numerous, he may be the least style of playing spurs player.
But most of the players who can make it through the crotch are defenders. Besides, No. 1 is still in the top. Because in the ultra-high level of NBA games, it is very difficult to shake the space, let alone wear the crotch.
If it is not for the league''s top ball control ability, it can not be completed in the NBA.
However, just now, link, a 2.03-meter-tall standard small forward, wore Leonard with a move that made many guards blush!
What''s more, Leonard has been selected as the second best defensive lineup this year! In the last round of the Western Conference semi-final, his defense but let scoring King Durant play very struggling.
It''s such a tough defensive player who is fooled by link with his crotch.
Link just that ball, from any angle, is very incredible.
"Who can tell me what link thinks!? How could he think of such an action as crossing the crotch!? That''s Cavai Leonard. That''s one of the best defensive lineups! Link''s courage is too big. Judging from this year''s dunk contest, there is nothing he dare not do
Herbie Brown still feels his scalp numb. Who would have thought that on the top of the west, he could see such an exaggerated action.
Old Hubie bet that fans of the other 49 states who support the Spurs are just cheering for the beauty of link!
No one can be immune to that wonderful, as long as you like basketball, you can''t not like that action.
At this time in the Spurs bench, Popovich found Leonard was frowning.
Leonard is a guy who seldom expresses his emotions on his face. No matter what situation, no matter what kind of strong opponent, he can face it calmly.
but now Leonard has been beaten by rink again. Let Leonard lock up link''s plan. It''s a total disaster!
On the other side, the Grizzlies yelled with excitement. Like the fans, they haven''t recovered from the wonderful scenes just now.
Link looked up at the playback on the big screen, even he felt incredible!
When he broke through, he didn''t think so much, and he couldn''t even think about wearing Leonard''s crotch.
Link''s only thought was to score goals, and his only thought was how to pass Leonard.
Seeing Leonard vacillating between himself and Butler, link instinctively knocked the basketball to the ground.
It''s just like this.
To put it bluntly, the record of crossing the crotch was completely an action made by link relying on instinct. It was only when link slammed to the ground and heard the whistle that he had suspended the game that he realized what an incredible thing he had done.
Grant Hill has gorgeous ball control skills, but his style of playing is relatively simple.
Link, on the other hand, explains how gaudy a coquettish Grant Hill is.
As a defensive player based in the NBA, Leonard must be quite depressed and even self doubt after being put in the crotch.
Although that guy has no expression all day, he is not a real terminator robot. He also has feelings and emotions, but is buried deeper than others.
But link believed that even if he had been buried deeper, Leonard would have been hit.
After all, crossing the crotch is a highly humiliating act.
If Leonard has been in a state of depression and can''t get out of it, link will be more and more relaxed.
This quasi fmvp is not mature enough.
The short pause did not change the Spurs'' decline.
On the first attack after the pause, Ginobili''s sulky pass was snatched by Jimmy Butler and led a mistake.
Ginobili''s pass always hovered on the edge of the top five and mistakes. It was a good goal destined to score the top five. If you can''t pass it, you''re doomed to be attacked.
Either heaven or hell.
Unfortunately, Ginobili failed this time.
Jimmy Butler pushed with the ball. This time, Leonard resolutely chose to defend link.
Then, Butler relied on Ginobili to force the layup. With Ginobili''s body, it is really difficult to withstand Butler''s impact.
Once back, the difference was widened to 15 points. In other words, the Spurs'' suspension didn''t work at all.In the second quarter, under the double offensive of link and Butler, we came to the end. In the end, the Spurs relied on the last few consecutive three-point, just managed to stabilize the difference in 13 points.
However, 13 points behind at half-time was beyond Popovich''s expectation.
In his imagination, the Spurs should win the Grizzlies in half time!
He thought he could control the game, but the Spurs were out of control throughout the game.
After entering the second half, the Spurs began to increase the shots outside the three-point line in an attempt to level the score with dense three-point goals.
But the randomness of the three-point ball is too big, the Spurs can''t do the three-point efficiency of warriors in the future.
Don''t mention the Spurs. In fact, in the entire history of NBA, there are only a few teams with three-point goal as stable as warriors.
In the middle of the third quarter, the Spurs once narrowed the difference to 4 points by relying on the three-point ball. But then, the Spurs went through another embarrassing four minutes without scoring. In the meantime, they lost all five of their three-point shots. Without scoring, he was bombarded by link and butler.
Originally, the flank is the strength of the Spurs. But now, the Grizzlies are completely destroyed.
Popovich''s roar became smaller and his expression more and more desolate. When the game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter and the Spurs were still 14 points behind, Popovich completely gave up the resistance.
The old man who thinks he can handle grizzly bears easily has dull eyes and messy hair. He is sitting on the bench at this time, and an ordinary old man is no different.
So link said, don''t over mythologize Popovich.
That guy is just a mortal.
Finally, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs 122-105 at home. On the Spurs side, Duncan was the only player who scored 20 points.
On the grizzly side, link and Jimmy Butler scored 60 points! Link had 34 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and Butler had 26 points. The scores of these two people account for 50% of the Grizzlies'' total score.
The Spurs'' flanks were blown to pieces. And Leonard''s defense link, also became today''s highest scoring player.
After the game, Popovich in an interview, feeling a little trance.
Since entering the playoffs, the Spurs have not been so abused. Although they have lost several games before, they are reluctant to lose.
This is the first time that more than 120 points have been slaughtered by opponents like today!
The old man with white hair didn''t say any more cold jokes, and even his language couldn''t be well organized. His words were all faltering.
"We... We have to get ready again. Link is not like Durant, grizzly bear and thunder are not the same. It has to be said that we met a better opponent than all the teams in the league
In the end, Popovich choked out such a sentence and left quickly.
At the other end, ESPN reporters kept link. Today, link was once again named the best in the game. The Spurs changed a lot of defensive strategies to deal with link, but link still shot down the highest 34 points.
In addition to the record of Leonard''s crotch crossing, link became the most watched player in the game.
"It''s a big win, the first in the Western Conference finals. What do you want to say?" The reporter''s question was simple. He didn''t want to embarrass link.
Link grinned, grabbing the microphone in the host''s hand. "I''m glad, I''ve proved that support doesn''t have any effect on the victory. Don''t mention 49 states. Even if the whole world doesn''t support us, we will be invincible as long as this one state supports us! "
Link finished and pointed to the fans in the stands. And the fans in Tennessee, in return for link''s most intense cheers.
As for the fans in the other 49 states, link is happy that they can go to hell with the Spurs together!
To be able to disappoint so many people because of himself, link thinks that he has a sense of accomplishment...
to be a villain is much more enjoyable than to be a hero.
