097: Let You Fall Out (9/40)

Link sat on the bench, and at this time he had already committed fouls with four fouls.

At the end of the third quarter, the Houston Rockets led the Memphis Grizzlies by 3 points. In the last attack in the third quarter, the ball belonged to the Rockets. Link clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Today, Kevin Martin took his advantage to the extreme. This guy continued his outstanding form in the first two games and training. He scored 27 points before he finished the three quarters!

That's right, 27 points! The highest in the game! Moreover, it was only in the third quarter of the game!

In the first quarter, when Kevin Martin got Link out early, some people complained that Link was not experienced enough. But in fact, he really had no such problem with Grant Hill experience.

But later, when people saw that Tony Allen, the defensive iron gate, had no choice but to deal with Martin, people realized that today it was not because Link was not good in defense, but Kevin Martin's offense was so good!

A few days ago in Milwaukee, Martin just scored 36 points. Today, his condition is similar to the game against the Bucks. If you get too close, you will be fouled. If you get a little further, Martin will be able to score.

Tony Allen and Link defended in turn, but there was no way to deal with Martin. It seemed that this was destined to be a night for Martin and the Rockets.

In the second and third quarters, Link and Tony Allen both took a lot of fouls, so now Link has been replaced again. He has scored 18 points and 7 assists at this time, and his performance is not bad. However, Link is still quite unhappy after being pushed down by Martin by fouls again and again.

In the last attack of the Rockets in the third quarter, Kyle Lowry controlled the ball outside the three-point line. Kevin Martin ran wildly, and Tony Allen followed carefully.

Finally, after using Scola's unball cover, Martin reached the right bottom corner, and Lowry's pass was immediately delivered.

Martin raised the basketball and shot it with a feint! But Tony Allen was not fooled. If he jumped, he might just send Martin to the free throw line and three free throws.

Seeing that Guy was not fooled, Martin had to shoot with defensive shots. However, Martin, who had accumulated a hot touch, was not inaccurate. Under the interference of Tony Allen, his buzzer-beating three-pointer was hollowed into the net!

The electronic beeps were heard, and there was a sigh in the FedEx Arena. On the Rockets, the players celebrated wildly and their morale was high.

Martin's three-pointer not only allowed the Rockets to enter the fourth quarter with a 6-point advantage, but also allowed Martin to score 30 points at the end of the third quarter! There is no doubt that this is a great scoring record.

"Kevin Martin, he continued the Rockets' magical performance in the previous three consecutive games. Three quarters of 30 points, which is something that a super scorer can do. The Grizzlies allowed Tony Allen and Link to take turns to defend, but this guy was amazing today."

On the commentary stage, Jeff Van Gundy used all the praises on Martin. You said that he was a rogue in a foul or his shooting posture was ugly, but he scored 30 points now, which is the real performance here.

As long as you perform, who cares about your shooting posture and free throw count?

Barkley didn't respond, he was a little depressed. Although the game was quite intense, it was not as good as he thought. Mainly, Link's performance was not as outstanding as he imagined.

Although Link had scored 18 points in the third quarter, overall, he was still suppressed by Martin. Judging from the character of Link, he shouldn't have let go of the game against the Rockets so easily.

Martin's foul trick still caused quite a lot of trouble for Link.

"I'm so unwilling to give up!" Tony Allen, who was heading towards the bench on the court, couldn't help but yell.

As a defensive gate, Tony Allen naturally felt very embarrassed when he was against the sidelines for 30 points in three quarters. He was also unwilling to accept that Link was also wanted to vent his vent on the Rockets, but now he is playing very awkwardly.

The teammates and master and apprentice looked at each other and saw their unwillingness. Teacher Tony walked towards Link and waved to him.

"We must limit that bastard, otherwise we will all be his background today!" Tony Allen whispered beside Link, and no one else knew what these two were muttering.

"He's so fouled, I dare not stick it." Link gritted his teeth, but there was no way. Grant Hill's experience was still impossible to completely prevent Link from being fouled.

Because even the most experienced players are troubled by fouls.

"Did you see my last defense against him just now?" Tony Allen did not continue to discuss how strong Martin was, but began to discuss how to defend Martin.

"Yeah, I saw it."

"You didn't find any difference?"

"You didn't sway, and your backhand disturbed him. Although he scored a goal, your defense just now was actually very good. Wait, you didn't sway!?" Link suddenly widened his eyes, Tony Allen smiled slightly, Link was indeed very smart, and it was understandable at a glance.

In fact, when sitting on the bench, Link also carefully observed Martin's offensive methods. Having Hill's basketball experience and basketball IQ allowed Link to see a lot of things.

And just after just passing Tony Allen's reminder, Link saw through it completely.

When Martin's foul is usually faked first, and after the defender's center of gravity changes, he leans up. Or breaks through and stops, leans up. He goes to the basket and makes fake moves. To put it bluntly, he leans up! Martin's "crooked handle" moves are naturally forward, so he can easily rely on others to make fouls.

But if you don’t sway the first stroke, and then follow up in time in the second stroke, just like Tony Allen just now, you can interfere with him in time!

Although Tony Allen just now let Martin make a buzzer-beating ball, Link believes that not every time he shoots in a disturbance, Martin can make the ball into it.

As long as you find a way to prevent Martin from committing fouls, Link will be confident. After all, Martin's defense is basically equivalent to an "ATM", and Link scores as much as he wants!

If you don’t get fouled, you don’t have to be forced to end up, Link will be confident of killing Martin!

After Link and his teacher Tony finished plotting, Hollins quickly arranged several tactics. He started with 6 points behind in the final quarter, which was very unfavorable to the Grizzlies.

I believe that now, many Rockets fans and Morey, who only knows how to do business, are already waiting to win.

But Link had already told himself in his heart, "We must reverse and win!"

The electronic beeps sounded and the fourth quarter began. The Rockets looked confident, but Link, who grabbed the key to victory, was even more calm.

"Martin scored 30 points in the third quarter. It is not an exaggeration to say that Link was a failure in his defense today. Charles, do you regret coming to Memphis?" In the commentary seat, Van Gundy thought that the Grizzlies' chances of winning were very small. After all, Martin's score today was so explosive.

This is destined to be a night for Martin, not Link.

"Repent? Let's talk about it after watching the game, man." Barkley waved his hand and looked at the ball with concentration. Don't just let the game end in a hurry, boy!

On the court, the Rockets took the lead in attacking. Martin has now played with confidence. He scored 30 points in three quarters, and he thinks he has dominated the stadium.

Therefore, when he saw the first goal in the game, he saw the entangled No. 0 Chinese again, and Martin decided to make him desperate.

So he caught the ball and broke through, and then suddenly stopped urgently!

Seeing this, Link did not lean immediately! Sure enough, Kevin Martin leaned forward slightly in the air. But this time, he did not lean on anything!

"Damn fox, I'll see you still beating!" After avoiding this, Link jumped up to interfere. With the advantage of height and wingspan, Link still blocked Martin's sight.

Martin had no time to adjust his posture and pass the ball at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and take action.

Link turned around nervously, but saw the basketball hit the front of the basket, and he was able to defend himself!

"The Rockets didn't score in the first offense, Randolph grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies fought back!"

Link was secretly happy. What Tony Allen said was indeed correct! Link hurriedly ran to the frontcourt. Conley saw him and got on the ball at a very fast speed.

After receiving the basketball, Link did not slow down and directly rushed to Martin and was about to jump and dunk!

Martin tried his best to interfere, but his ability to fight was too different. In the air, he was suppressed by Link, and then overwhelmed by Link!

"Bang!" The basket trembled, and Martin fell out of the bottom line in a mess. Link landed and acted ruthlessly at Martin who fell in a mess!

"This is a dunk! Kevin Martin was dunked violently, and he was viciously humiliated by Link!" Van Gundy was stunned. Link's shot just now was too hard!

Barkley laughed and said, Link's game has to be watched before he can comment on which is better or worse.

Link grinned at Martin on the ground, but Battier acted as a peacemaker to push him away, so Link turned around and left.

Don’t you just like to fall on the ground? I’ll let you fall enough!

At the beginning of the fourth section, people found that the momentum seemed to have reversed.
