1119: In the air... layup!
With 59 seconds left in the game, **Vic suspended the game.
The scene of Link being pinned by Leonard is still replayed on the big screen.
This is undoubtedly a legendary defensive duel, but in this situation, you still have to rely on goals to win the game.
"Damn, you can get that kind of ball just now, you're such a pervert!"
After returning to the bench, Wade complained about Leonard's block just now. Wade estimated that even he could not do it even at his peak.
"The goal of Link's blocking the dunk in the first quarter is even more abnormal. Neither of them are good people." Randolph, who didn't play much today, shook his head.
He probably won't be able to help even if he appears today, even if he appears.
"Yes, yes, fortunately, you two are facing each other today. Just this defense, who can stand it if the others are the ones?" Conley also shook his head and sighed. One time today, Leonard had been in front of him.
The final result was that Leonard broke the ball away from Conley.
Link was silent instead, he was still trying to deal with Leonard.
If even shaking him up doesn't work, then other ordinary methods won't work.
Jogel has no good idea now. He knows very well that under the terrible defense of the Spurs, the tactics he has arranged may not be implemented.
To put it bluntly, the outcome of this game is now in the hands of Link and Leonard.
Whoever they can beat each other first will win.
The game started again soon, and both sides chose their starting lineup at the last moment.
The Spurs are very cautious in this attack, and they must seize the opportunity to gain an advantage in order to take the initiative.
Even if it's only a two-point advantage.
But even in the last minute, the Grizzlies' defense did not fail.
**Vic's pass strategy was not effective, and the Spurs' patience still failed to tear open even a slight gap in the Grizzlies' defense.
In the end, Leonard had to force a back turn and jump shot against Lincoln's defense.
Under Link's defense of directly blocking his face, Leonard made a double-shot iron again.
"Hey, it seems that the game still has not been out of the rhythm of the defensive battle. Leonard Maolink one, and Link interferes with him one more. If they continue to play like this, the game will probably be dragged into overtime."
Hubby Brynn shook his head. At such moments, both sides could not solve the problem by defending alone.
Now, it's not just about defensive ability to test Link and Leonard.
And their ability to score goals in desperate situations!
"Damn, aren't you tired? You haven't even left a relaxing round for me today." With the ball approaching Leonard again, Link couldn't help but turn on the mouth gun mode.
Leonard still didn't respond, sometimes you really have to wonder if he is a robot.
Link wanted to use trash talk to distract Leonard, but this move was of no use to Leonard.
In fact, after thinking just now, Link already had a way to deal with Leonard.
Although that idea is very dangerous, I can only take risks.
However, Link wanted to keep that method at the end, so for this attack, Link just took advantage of the cover and immediately shot. The offensive method was very ordinary.
Leonard quickly got rid of the cover and wrapped around Link, but unlike the Spurs' attack just now, Leonard failed to throw the ball in under interference, but Link went in!
A shot that is not an opportunity but is converted into a score allows the Grizzlies to take the initiative again.
"Good ball, this is a perfect superstar. It must be admitted that Leonard's defense can score 100 points, and he has no problem. But Link's offense is 101 points."
Leonard gasped heavily, obviously a little unwilling to accept it. He had already defended himself like that, and Link could still score a goal.
In the current situation, the 2-point gap can be defeated by death.
He knew that he had to score a goal. No matter how superb Link's defense was, the next round was his last chance.
This time, Leonard simply pulled out singles and eliminated those complicated but ineffective tactics.
All the Spurs players on the court were stunned at first, but then they took a quick look.
If it were normal, **Vicci would definitely start yelling.
But today, he acknowledged Leonard's behavior. Now, the only games he and Link can solve!
Leonard dribbled the ball with his hands, and Link deliberately took a step forward, as if he wanted to steal.
Leonard naturally would not let Link succeed. He hurriedly changed direction and avoided the steal and prepared to break through.
Link actually stepped forward so frivolously to steal, it was just a point reward!
But when Leonard changed direction and prepared to accelerate, he found that Link's other hand was waiting on his dribbling route.
Link was not frigid just now, but deliberately lured Leonard to break through to the right!
"This time, you were finally fooled."
As soon as Link finished speaking, he stuck out his arm and broke the ball from Leonard's hand!
"The two sides have completed countless beautiful defenses today, but now this steal is likely to be the most important one of all these defenses!"
Leonard couldn't believe that Link could actually intercept the ball directly from his hands, and deliberately used fake steals to lure the opponent into a breakthrough. He was so bold! People were doing fake moves on the offensive end, but Link was doing fake moves on the defensive end.
But as an excellent basketball player, although Leonard was hit hard, he still subconsciously grabbed Link's jersey.
This is the only chance to stop Link from going easily and quickly.
"Leonard deliberately fouled, but after this time the Spurs' fouls were already full. Next time, Leonard will no longer have such a chance. If he fouls again, Link will be on the free throw line."
Hubby Brown said, watching the game time.
Now, there are only 26.8 seconds left before the end of the game. As long as Link scores this goal, he can completely lock in the victory!
Spurs, do you really have a chance?
Leonard deliberately dragged the Grizzlies into the positional battle, hoping to use this defense to make a last try.
As long as it can be defended, the Spurs will have 2.8 seconds to perform the last shot. Therefore, the Spurs cannot foul. In any case, they must be defended hard.
Jogel called for a timeout and arranged this last attack. Link also told everyone about the plan he had just come up with.
Everyone was startled, but Link was very calm.
“I have to give it a try anyway.”
After the game started again, everyone on the scene didn't even dare to show off. They were afraid that after making noise, it would affect the Grizzlies players' offense.
Leonard was a little nervous. This was the first time he felt nervous since the game.
Link scored a goal from his defense just now, which made him feel very upset.
So when the sideline ball was served, Leonard kept pestering Link.
But it was not Link who received the ball in the end, but Conley.
After getting the basketball, the Grizzlies naturally did not rush to attack and allowed Conley to delay time outside the three-point line.
Leonard was tense all over. He had been fighting with Link for so long, but he didn't want to lose in the last round!
It's not just this game, to be precise, since it lost to the tiebreak last season to now, Leonard has wanted to beat Link once.
He didn't want this nightmare to continue to entangle him.
When there were only 8 seconds left in the 24-second attack time, Link started to start!
Jokic set up a cover for Link without the ball, and Link cuts in with no hands!
As Link cuts inward along the baseline, Conley also passes the ball up immediately.
The timing of passing this ball cannot be bad at all. If it is too fast, the ball will fly directly out of the baseline.
Slowly, the basketball is Leonard's possession.
Fortunately, Conley completed this pass mission successfully. He has always been Link's old partner, and he is a master of feeding Link's balls.
Watching the basketball rub his fingertips into Link's arms, Leonard gritted his teeth. Now, the only chance is the air showdown later!
He must complete the seal, otherwise everything he did today would fail!
Link received the basketball and drove a step to find the rhythm, then immediately jumped and made a layup.
"It's impossible for you to score a goal!" Leonard yelled, then jumped up and reached out to block it.
This is the first time today, Link heard Leonard talking during the game.
His roar came from the heart.
Leonard grasped the timing of the jump very accurately, and he was about to touch the basketball with his hand. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be another big hat on the nail, just like he did to Link a few rounds ago!
But just as the blocking was about to be completed, Leonard saw an incredible scene.
Link raised the basketball in the air and shook his right wrist slightly and sent the ball out.
"Have you taken it off?" Leonard widened his eyes. Link shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.
It's not a mistake, it's a pass!
But it is not a pass to someone else, it is a pass to the left hand in the air!
Link sent the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, which was equivalent to taking off the basketball in the air and rushing to catch it with his other hand!
As a result, Leonard lost in vain.
Link grabbed the basketball with his left hand steadily, then walked around to the other side of the basket and gave it lightly.
"brush!"
Before he landed, Link raised his lips slightly and the plan was successful! Sure enough, this extreme offensive method should be used to deal with Leonard's extreme defense!
"The ball went in, Link killed the game, and he ended the defensive battle with two consecutive goals! But...what happened just now? How did that ball go into? I remember Link was clearly holding the ball in the air with his right hand." Hubby Brown got goose bumps. Although he didn't see clearly, he knew that another classic historical goal might have been born.
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the big screen, waiting to watch the playback.
Chapter completed!
