At the end of the half-time, few fans in Oracle stadium were smiling.
58-55, Memphis Grizzlies returned to the dressing room with a 3-point advantage.
Although the 3-point gap is not big, but in the other side lost Gasol, the warriors are still unable to attack for a long time, which really let the warriors fans on the scene very disappointed.
The whole second quarter became link''s personal performance time.
He was always able to stand up and resolve the crisis when the warriors were about to surpass the score, scoring one amazing goal after another.
At half-time, link had scored 22 points. In the second quarter alone, 14 points were recorded.
Durant only scored 14 points in two quarters. He didn''t score much in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Durant also encountered many setbacks.
Now, Durant can''t even compete with link.
Everyone thought the Warriors must be very depressed at the moment. They must be very anxious.
Steve Cole, however, was calm in an interview on the sidelines.
"We''re only three points behind so far. In the second half, it''s our turn. "
Cole''s tone was calm. His calm demeanor didn''t seem like a fake.
In fact, Cole didn''t pretend.
Link''s performance in the second quarter was just amazing. On his own, he filled the gap left by Gasol''s departure. On his own, he ruled both ends of the offensive and defensive.
But also, the consumption of link in the second quarter is quite huge!
When you have to face a defensive player like Durant every round, even if you can score, you have to pay a great price. Not to mention, we have to face Durant again and again on the defensive side.
What''s more, Grizzlies have just played back-to-back games. And there was no garbage time in those two games back-to-back in Los Angeles.
That is to say, link''s appearance time is not many.
The second half will be a very tough test for link.
In addition, warriors will also change the offensive strategy in the second half. Cole decided to help the team find the edge outside the three-point line.
In fact, Cole''s change has already achieved initial results since the suspension in the second quarter.
If it wasn''t for link''s excellent performance, the Grizzlies would never be in the lead.
But in the second half, link didn''t have to hold up.
The cheerleaders at half-time didn''t cause much trouble. After all, the people who came to watch the ball were aiming at the men.
Although the interval was short, the fans seemed to have been waiting for centuries.
The gap between the wonderful games is so exciting.
After 15 minutes, both players returned to the field.
Link played at the beginning of the second half, although he had only two minutes off in the second quarter.
At this point, Cole waved his hand!
He''s going to devour that guy with the most powerful offensive firepower in the League!
"The warriors attack quickly and pass the ball a lot. Obviously, they have reduced the number of stars in singles and paid more attention to teamwork
As Mark Jackson spoke, Thompson hit three points with his teammates covering and passing.
At the beginning of the second half, the warriors leveled the score.
Soon, link the Savior was back online. His resolute breakthrough resulted in Durant''s defensive fouls and two free throws.
Despite the foul, Cole could see that link''s step was a little heavy.
If you have plenty of energy, the ball might be 2 + 1.
Link made two free throws and two free throws, but it took longer to adjust his breathing between the two free throws than in the first half.
After the free throw, link was not allowed to run immediately.
Because the warriors opened a fast baseline ball, the rhythm should be as fast as possible.
Gradually, the warriors began to take the initiative, and the difference was gradually opened.
Link and others are still resisting, but with the warriors'' super high three-point percentage, their resistance is somewhat weak.
By the eighth minute of the third quarter, the gap had been widened to 12 points.
Link was out of breath. He was too tired.
It''s not a good choice to compete with the warriors with Durant. Last summer, it was as if the warriors were back in the third quarter.
"Warriors lead 12 points, grizzlies play more and more passive! Sure enough, the basketball game will never know the result until the last second! In the first half, when the Grizzlies dominated, many people thought the warriors were finished. But now, Kevin is trying to double his goal
Mark Jackson is not alarmist. If the game goes on like this, the gap will be widened.It''s not sure whether the game will be beaten or not.
"Damn it, we can''t fight with them any more. It''s just hitting their hardest part." Quinn Snyder can''t sit still. The warriors with Durant are almost invincible in their favorite rhythm.
Joel didn''t answer, and of course he knew that. But now, he has no way to force the warriors to change.
Although Harrell is also very strong, but due to the lack of height and independent offensive means, he is also difficult to pose a threat to the warriors'' defense.
After another two minutes of the game, the difference was 16. This is still in Wade critical moment into two three points, otherwise the difference has been on 20!
On the court, Durant finally began to talk rubbish with link.
Now, link, he''s up to it!
"Don''t worry, your double return package is coming soon, asshole!" Durant chattered in link''s ear, and link didn''t even have the energy to fight Durant.
Just then, Joel stopped the game and he couldn''t sit back and watch.
"The Grizzlies were stopped. I can''t remember how many times they were stopped in the third quarter. However, with only the last two minutes left in the game, it should be difficult for coach Joel to make any adjustments
Mark Jackson shook his head. He thought the Grizzlies had started to mess.
Link stepped off the court and put on a towel. As soon as he lowered his head, his sweat began to drip on the floor.
"It''s tough, guys, but you can''t give up. Next, we need to force the warriors to slow down, we need to regain the advantage inside! "
Joel hit the tactical board with a punch, hoping to keep everyone up.
"Link, next Richardson will be on your way. You take two minutes off, the fourth quarter... I may need you to play full
When joel said that, link nodded and did not try to take over the job as head coach.
Players and coaches have to trust each other.
"Next, Zach, you and Jokic are on the inside. On the offensive side, we try to make the ball inside
As soon as joel said this, everyone turned their eyes to old Zach.
Randolph and Tony Allen are basically two bench players this year.
But although the appearance time is not much, but the team''s antagonistic training has never dropped.
Now if you want to be led by the nose by the warrior, you can only take the initiative to change it.
Randolph nodded and rose quickly.
At the same time, countless live cameras were also aimed at the big black bear.
Cole looked at the big screen and laughed scornfully.
So, grizzly''s current Savior is an old-fashioned Zac Randolph?
The warrior is sure to win!
Randolph moved for a moment, then looked at link as if he had something to say.
"What''s the matter? Zach. "
"Remember the last time I won the championship, I asked you after the season was over?" Randolph''s expression was serious. In a critical moment, the fat man would never pull his crotch.
"Well... I don''t remember." Link waved his hand sheepishly.
"At that time, I asked you to take us to the top, and you did. Now, I will try to lead the team out of trouble. Then you''ll take us to the top again. "
The break ended and Zach stepped into the court.
Memphis team''s inside information, can be deep.
