1084: You can twist it back to cover you after being shaken 4K)(1/2)
The last time someone was able to complete a shocking catch in the NBA game, it can be traced back to 2009, the Lakers Shannon Brown.
At that time, "Spring Man" Brown chased and grabbed Hawks guard Mario West's goal, which allowed Kobe and others on the Lakers' bench to contribute a very classic expression.
However, Link's catch-up this time was more exciting than Shannon Brown's.
First of all, Link was not a nameless person like Mario West who was not well-known.
The one who lost to him was Kelly Irving, the star guard who has entered the top ten scoring list this season!
Secondly, when Shannon Brown caught the game, the game had already entered garbage time and the Lakers' victory was decided. Therefore, the impact of that catch on the game was not great, it was just simple and very ornamental.
But Link's trick not only has a very sensory stimulation, but also has a substantial help in the victory or defeat of the game.
If Irving successfully made the goal just now, the Cavaliers will overtake the score again. There is no doubt that this is very passive for the Grizzlies.
But Link's blocks stopped it all, gaining an edge for the Grizzlies.
Therefore, Link's pursuit of the game is even more exciting and shocking.
Reggie Miller can guarantee that this goal will definitely rank among the top five of Link's top ten goals in his career!
Irving's heart was completely cold at this time, and Link's power was like a bottomless black hole, making people ignorant!
As a skilled point guard, Irving, like Paul, is one of the few players with the lowest blocking rate in the league.
But Irving will never forget the feeling of basketball being directly grabbed by the opponent just now.
Irving is now in a psychological shadow. He will live in the shadow of Link in the last two minutes of the game.
This is exactly what Link wants. Now, he just needs to concentrate on dealing with James!
After catching the cavalry, Link continued to threaten the Knights.
This time, in order to help defend Link, Love stood very high.
But in order to guard against Link's passing, Love is always paying attention to Jokic's position and attempting to block the passing route.
However, Link sent the ball without warning while turning around and breaking through. The ball was passed very secretly, and Link almost brought the action of the street court to the NBA game, and Love and James had no time to react.
In fact, if Jokic hadn't been particularly focused, he probably wouldn't have received this goal.
Link's ghost pass can always achieve the effect of getting the ball by one person and being nervous by nine people.
This pass easily penetrated the Cavaliers' defense line and assisted Jokic to score in the empty basket.
Although Jokic scored, the most important part of this offense was Link who gave the wonderful pass.
He is still firmly controlling the game, and most importantly, the Grizzlies are now leading by 3 points! The difficulty of the Cavaliers' equalization is further increased.
McLeod was already breathless at this time. In the last two minutes, every round would determine life and death.
He doesn't want the Cavaliers to lose, but it must be admitted that the Grizzlies are very strong today.
McLeod was really nervous when he fell behind by 3 points in such a situation.
James responded quickly. He did not choose to chisel the basket this time on the offense, but unexpectedly made a three-point jump shot with a step back!
Link really didn't expect that James would use this trick. He fell behind three points at the critical moment and dared to be so stubborn!
But because James' shooting was very unexpected, he did not suffer too much interference.
As the basketball spins in the air, the hearts of all Cleveland fans are in their throats.
And the moment the basketball entered the net, the nervousness immediately turned into excitement.
James made a three-pointer with a step back, and he helped the Cavaliers equalize the score again!
"Really or false..." Link was speechless, and James actually made a three-pointer in a step back.
Is this James Harden or LeBron James?
Link thought that the chase and catching the game just now would be a turning point, but now it seems that James is not affected at all.
Indeed, the capture just now must have scared Irving. But James? He would not be easily impressed by that kind of scene.
It seems that today's showdown with James is not enough to end even a minute in advance.
After that, Link and James continued to face each other. They still played hard in scoring, rebounding and assists.
Until the last 42 seconds, when James scored the ball at the basket, the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies still drew!
At this time, Link and James had already won triple-double data.
Jogel called for a timeout, which not only gave the players a chance to breathe, but also gave the fans and commentators a chance to breathe.
Link and James' "combination punch" is too tight, and the pace is so fast that everyone can't breathe.
In the last 42 seconds, under normal circumstances, the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers will each have one round of offensive opportunity.
In other words, whoever can win these two rounds in a row will be the final winner!
McLeod is no longer calm. He hopes that the battle between Link and James can continue. To be honest, it is a pity for both of them to lose no matter who loses.
But now, one of them must fall down with Link and James. Their fight back and forth must be done!
"Who do you think can win, Miller."
"To be honest, I feel completely unsure. These two guys are too strong today. Their performance has put shame on other superstars in the league!"
The game has reached the most cruel and most test of the stars' abilities.
Today, live TV broadcasts cannot even select the best in the whole game. Because James and Link's performance are worthy of such a title.
Now, whoever wins the game is the best in the game!
The suspension time soon ended, and players from both sides stepped back onto the court.
The Cavaliers changed back. Smith, in terms of key balls, is undoubtedly more threatening than Shampoo.
The Grizzlies replaced Jokic with Harris, as if they wanted to increase their mobility and continue to play through and cut.
But everyone knows that the substitution of the two coaches is just a bluff. In the end, basketball will only fall to Link and James.
Link attacked first, James licked his lips and was ready.
He doesn't want to play extra time, he hopes to summarize all this in regular time.
Link didn't want to do it either, so he simply controlled the ball and then turned on the scoring mode after halftime!
McLeod held his hands tightly, and he could not predict how Link would use to single James.
Because until now, Link has used countless moves to deal with the enemy in front of him. McLeod really couldn't imagine what tricks Link could do.
Link was driving the ball in the middle of the midfield line and the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to open up space.
After almost the same time, Link suddenly handed the ball to Conley, then cut in with his own hands and sat in the low position.
James understands what Link wants to do, this guy wants to play back-on-single in the low post!
James knows how dangerous Link's back-to-back singles are.
Previously, Hubby Brown said that Link’s back-to-back singles were a combination of classical top scorers such as Jordan, Kobe and Grant Hill, which is not an exaggeration at all.
James tried his best to push Link away from the basket, but it was not effective. Link wanted to be very stable and as solid as a rock!
Conley steadily lifted the ball into the penalty area and sent it to Link. In the "delivery of ammunition", Conley never missed it.
Link successfully confronted James with his back in the low post, and everyone stood up nervously. Some Cleveland fans simply covered their eyes and dared not look at them.
Link adjusted his center of gravity after holding the ball, and then leaned back twice.
But these two moves are just temptations, and Link's real intention is to turn over and jump shot.
Suddenly, Link turned to the left, and James immediately jumped to interfere!
But after James had already jumped, he realized that Link's feet were not off the ground at all!
That guy's fake moves are so realistic!
After shaking James, Link immediately turned over and jumped in the opposite direction. But at this time, Love, who had been under the basket, made up.
He has been paying attention to Link just to avoid this. If James is shaken away, Love can make up for it in time.
No matter how strong Link is, he can't shake two people with low steps at the same time!
Love stretched out his arms and jumped high, believing that Link would not be able to escape the big net he and James had joined forces to wove.
But when Love was halfway through, his expression changed from being proud to being surprised.
Link's second turnaround was still a fake move!
After clicking Love, Link suddenly paused, forcibly ended the turnover jump shot, and then took a quick step and passed by Love.
Then Link leaped gently and picked his wrist gently.
The basketball went over the fingertips of James who had re-defense and fell gently into the net.
"Two people were shaking in a row to complete the goal, and Link's low footsteps were incredibly superb! Now, at least half of the Olajuwon training camp business was snatched away by Link!"
Reggie Miller shouted and applauded. In this era when even the centers are floating out to make three-pointers, does anyone know what low-post footsteps are?
Link is simply a living fossil. He can always bring back those skills that are no longer common but very exciting.
Most importantly, Link is always able to use these skills to win!
