1118: Ways to beat extreme defenses

The fans at the scene were already shouting hoarsely. From the first second of this game, both sides have been facing each other. From the first second, they have entered ** directly until now.

Leonard's successful defense and two-dunk and Link's beautiful blocking dunk completely kicked off the scene of mutual torture between the two sides.

At this time, the game had reached the last quarter and there was more than one minute left.

However, the scores of both sides are still hovering around seventy or eighty.

The Spurs scored 79 points and the Grizzlies scored 82 points. It is certain that neither side scored 100 today.

This is very incredible for the two teams in the league that ranks in the top three offensive efficiency. Now, it is rare to see the two sides playing a game with a score of around 80 after the game is complete.

But for the two teams with the best defense, such a score seems reasonable.

Today, compared to offense, both sides have put a lot of effort into defense.

Link and Leonard's struggle against each other set the tone for this game. Their defense led the teammates around them.

So in the previous three quarters, the two sides played a daunting defensive battle.

Both teams have neither shooting percentage. On the Spurs, Aldridge made only 4 of 19 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 21.1%.

Throughout Aldridge's career, he rarely hits such a hit rate.

Danny Green's 41.7% shooting percentage is not good. As long as he misses one more shot, his shooting percentage will fall below 40%.

Dwyne Desmond's shooting percentage is only 33%, and Jonathan Simmons, a very important combat power on the Spurs' bench, has a shooting percentage of only 25%.

As a team dominated by team offense, the Spurs' overall shooting percentage of 36.6% today is incredible.

You know, the Spurs, who played team basketball to the extreme a few years ago, had an exaggerated performance with a shooting percentage of up to 60% in a single game.

But today, under the strict defense of all Grizzlies, they also lost their accuracy.

Of course, the Grizzlies are not much better either.

Gasol, who has always been very efficient, made only 4 of 12 shots today, with a shooting percentage of 33%. Conley's shooting percentage was even limited to 30%.

Wade performed outstandingly on the defensive end today, biting Danny Green tightly. But on the offensive end, he also played very heartbrokenly. His shooting percentage of only 10% made him the most ironic guy in the game.

The Grizzlies' overall shooting percentage is slightly better than the Spurs, but the 38.5% figure is not much better.

The only two teams, Leonard and Link, have slightly reliable shooting percentages, with the former being 42.1% and the latter being 43.3%.

But there is no doubt that their hits are below average.

Leonard's average shooting percentage this season is as high as 50.5%, and Link has reached an abnormal 53.7%!

Compared with their average shooting percentage, the efficiency of the two today was also greatly reduced.

Today, no one in the two teams is accurate, they are both competing against each other on the defensive end.

Leonard has only scored 18 points so far, while Link has only scored 21 points.

If two teams are replaced with such low scores and low hits, fans will definitely make them drowsy.

But today, not only was the atmosphere on the scene hot, but the ratings were also high.

In this era when the whole world is shooting three-pointers and fouls, I suddenly saw a tough and passionate defensive battle, which gave the fans a new feeling.

Moreover, the low shooting percentage in this game is not because both sides are not good at attacking, but because the defense of both teams is too good.

So, it doesn't look boring at all.

At this time, the game undoubtedly came to its most tense moment.

The Spurs are only 3 points behind, but there is not much time left in the game. In other words, every offense and defense from now on will have a huge impact on the most results.

**Vic shouted nervously on the sidelines that although he did not pursue a 70-win regular season, he naturally hoped that the Spurs could win this key game.

If this game is won, the shadow of their defeat in tiebreak last season will be swept away.

But if you lose today, the Grizzlies will continue to turn into shadows and cover every Spurs player.

After Parker came on the ball, the Spurs continued to play their complex team attack.

Link followed Leonard closely. Although Link did not let Leonard completely open until now, he still did not dare to slackew in the last few minutes.

Leonard went out to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and Link chased him relentlessly.

But at this moment, Dwyne Dedmond suddenly stepped forward and blocked Link's way.

"I'm so annoying!" Link couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Spurs' off-ball screen was even more annoying than the Warriors'.

Throughout the whole game today, he seemed to have been shuttled between covers.

Link flashed sideways, ready to pass through Dedmont and go straight to Leonard as he did countless times before.

But this time, when Link turned sideways to bypass the cover, he felt like he was tripped!

Link looked down and Dedmond deliberately moved his left leg forward a little, causing Link to trip.

But because this action is very subtle, the referee cannot detect it at all.

Dedmon has always been a player who has worked hard in the NBA for four seasons. In four seasons, he has changed four teams. God knows how much he has learned from many people.

After being tripped by Dedmon, Link fell to the ground with unstable center of gravity.

Leonard took the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot. In his impression, this was the first time he had such an easy shooting opportunity today.

"brush!"

Basketball is impartial and hollowed into the net! Leonard made a three-pointer, and he filled in the 3-point difference with just one goal!

"Move the cover, keep your eyes wide!" Link immediately complained to the referee after getting up.

However, Dedmon's actions are too small, and it is difficult to see the trick even through video replay.

And even if you see it, the referee cannot change the judgment.

In order to maintain authority, it is impossible for the referee to question his own judgment.

In any case, the Grizzlies have to swallow these three points from Leonard.

Link shook his hand very unwillingly, the score was equalized, and both sides returned to the same starting line at the last moment.

If the Grizzlies face other opponents today, there is nothing to worry about just being equalized at the last moment.

It's not easy to score on the Spurs.

Throughout the whole game, Link and Leonard have a slight advantage.

He doesn't want his advantage to be reversed at the last moment.

In this attack, Link took on the heavy responsibility.

He can only take on the heavy responsibility.

No one of the Grizzlies has excellent offensive efficiency today. In the last minute, Link will naturally take over the game.

After Link held the ball, Leonard, who had no expression on his face, immediately posted it up.

Today, the "face paralyzed man" is more clingy than Rachel.

Link protected the ball with both hands and made several three threatening moves.

Leonard adjusted his center of gravity with Link's pace, but no matter how his center of gravity moved, he could stabilize it in time and not give Link a chance to shake the space.

Link does feel a little tricky, but he still has a solution.

Link suddenly leaned against Leonard and forced himself into the scene. Leonard's body was not a problem to carry Link, so Link did not easily enter the penalty area.

Just when everyone thought Leonard would successfully complete the defense, Link suddenly closed the ball with both hands, then turned around with Leonard as the axis, allowing him to successfully walk to the basket!

Link's turn is not only a skillful one, but also a physical game.

He forced Leonard behind him with his back, which was a perfect combination of strength and skills.

After passing Leonard, Link deliberately shot him in the basket!

Leonard was indeed deceived, and even he could not make the right judgment every time.

Seeing Leonard being shaken, Link was about to jump and make a layup, which was a very relaxing two-pointer.

But Link had just jumped and raised the ball, but the basketball was pressed on the rebound with a "boom"!

Link knew it must be Leonard, but he was still very surprised. Didn’t that guy just get shaken up?

"Kavay Leonard gave Link a block. He used his extremely fast secondary bounce ability and slender arms to quickly jump up and complete the block after being shaken up and landed! This goal is very similar to Link's blocking and dunk after being shaken in the first quarter!"

Hubby Bryn's voice was trembling.

What two monsters!

The several defenses that Link and Leonard made today are incredible.

With 59 seconds left in the game, Leonard completed the block and gained an advantage for the Spurs.

Link was not too upset. If Leonard did not have this ability, the Grizzlies would not have to fight the Spurs to this point.

Now, what Link wants to think about is how to get Leonard's defense in the most critical 59 seconds.

In the last 59 seconds, Link could not afford to be taken again.

Dealing with Leonard's extremely terrifying defense may also require some extreme solutions.
