Link's defense is ok, Harden knows that from now on, he will not be able to score as comfortably as in the first quarter.

Although Harden only achieved his best performance in his career this season, his skills were already full when he first joined the Rockets a few years ago.

In terms of hitting the car, Harden is no longer the issue of being the first person in service, but has the ability to compete for the status of the first person in history.

However, Harden rarely takes advantage of Link.

First of all, Link himself has some superstar whistle. Even if he is really suspicious of a foul, the referee has to consider whether to blow.

After all, such "abnormal" fouls appear more often in superstars, which is very affecting the viewing ability.

Secondly, Link has always been very calm on the defensive end and will not attack easily, which greatly reduces the probability of him being hit by a car.

Although Harden won't be able to find a foul, the probability of Link being hit is still much lower than that of others.

The Grizzlies once again got the opportunity to counterattack. Because Link's inaccurate shooting today, Ariza directly lets Link take a big step!

His purpose is very clear, which is to fight for Link's breakthrough.

It's really a bit tricky to be defended by contraction.

If you fight head-on, you won’t be able to beat Ariza, but if you fight like this, Link will probably find it difficult for him to persevere until the end of the game.

So, Link did not fight Ariza this time. He just ran actively without the ball, trying to open up the gap for his teammates.

After a period of patient transmission, Conley finally passed the opportunity to Gasol through a breakthrough pass.

Conley's breakthrough also attracted Capela's backup defense, so after plunging into the penalty area, Conley passed the ball to Gasol, who was in the middle distance without hesitation.

It was an excellent shot, Gasol raised the basketball and prepared to shoot.

But the moment he shot, Capela appeared again.

"Capela's movement speed is really fast. Even though he has passed the basket to assist in defense, he can still rush back to play Gasol's shot in time!"

With Kevin Harlan's exclamation, Gasol's mid-range shot hit the box.

Originally, big players like Gasol generally have slow shooting speeds, and their ability to interfere with mid-range shooting is weaker than outside players.

Therefore, Capela's interference instantly made Gasol lose the shooting rhythm.

Capela's active blockade really helped the Rockets escape.

Ryan Anderson was about to protect the rebound. After watching the basketball bounce out, he raised his arms high. But before he could take off, he felt a huge pressure coming from behind!

Anderson felt like he was directly suppressed by someone, and he was nailed to the ground and couldn't jump up!

The next second, Anderson watched as Link stretched out his arm from behind and took off the rebound through him.

"The complete crush on the bounce! Link grabbed the offensive rebound through Ryan Anderson. He was so hard! Anderson had stuck in the position and he did not make any mistakes. But even so, Link still forced the rebound away!"

This is not the first time Link has staged such a good show of removing the board from a high altitude, but no matter how many times it appears, he will murder the commentator's vocal cords.

He snatched back a failed attack.

How does it affect the game? Link gave another answer.

After landing, Link immediately encountered a double-team of three people!

Anderson, Ariza and nearby Beverly raised their arms and clamped them up, which shows how afraid they are of Link.

Even if Link is not accurate in shooting today, he is still the number one dangerous person in the hearts of Rockets players.

But Link did not intend to force the offensive attack. He had already achieved his goal. He had finally managed to fight for the ball. He needed to deal with it properly.

In the double team, Link's vision and passing chance were not good, but he was still calmly observing the situation on the court.

Beverly saw the opportunity and suddenly started to cut the ball.

But just as his palms were about to hit the basketball, Link suddenly threw the ball over Beverly's head!

Beverly felt that the basketball and his head were probably only a few centimeters away!

The whirlwind brought by the basketball shook Beverly's cheek like a sharp blade. He quickly turned his head and looked at it, only seeing the moment Conley shot.

"brush!"

"How did Link discover Mike Conley? He has no vision at all and no room for passing the ball at all!" Kevin Harlan stood up directly. After just grabbing the board from behind Anderson, Link took out another incredible performance in succession.

Everyone has become accustomed to Link's explosive scoring performance, but they don't know that Link can also reach the pinnacle in other aspects.

In fact, Link just glanced at Conley. Moreover, if Link hit the ball a little slower, he might be cut off by Beverly.

It can be said that the ball just now was very, very hanging.

Some people think that it is just luck, but isn’t the value of a superstar reflected in such extreme situations?

After scoring 4 points in a row, the Grizzlies are now only two points behind the Rockets!

The smile on D'Antoni's face gradually disappeared. Since the beginning of the second quarter, Link has not tried to shoot.

However, the balance of victory is still tilting slowly.

As it turns out, even if the shooting is inaccurate, Link can still control the game!

"Louis, you will play later to replace Beverly. Take action if you have the chance. I need you to completely suppress them in offensive firepower!" D'Antoni couldn't stay anymore, and he shouted at Lu Wei on the bench.

Lou Wei nodded, then went to the technical station to prepare, waiting for the dead ball to appear.

The mustache will never allow the Rockets to gain the advantage they have finally achieved, and they will be consumed in this way.

He believed that as long as the Rockets could maintain the firepower in the first quarter, Link would not be able to catch up with just by breaking through.

Soon, the Rockets regained their colors outside the three-point line. This time, Ryan Anderson hit a three-pointer, which was considered to make up for the loss of the rebound just now, and also helped the Rockets to gain a firm foothold for the time being.

But before the Rockets had time to be happy, Link sent another assist, which made them nervous.

This time, when the defense of Ariza's old Taoist, Link used a very exaggerated rhythm change, making Ariza dizzy.

He first paused outside the three-point line, as if he was preparing to pass the ball.

Just as Ariza stopped, Link pressed the center of gravity without any warning and started quickly.

His fastest first step was to easily throw Ariza behind him.

Capela immediately raised the defense and stood very high. This was to force Link to shoot mid-range shots and prevent him from getting close to the basket.

As a result, Link threw the ball to the right at 45° position without looking back!

Jokic received the basketball and also made three-pointers.

Ryan Anderson scored a goal and was immediately returned by his own match.

The score difference has changed back to two points again, and the Rockets' advantage is in danger!

D'Antoni was nervously traveling around the sidelines, while Jogel sat leisurely in his position.

His plans have already worked! It is only a matter of time before he overtakes the score.

After that, Harden tried to take a step back three-pointer again, which made Link sweat in a cold sweat.

However, when almost half of the basketball was gone into the basket, the ball was turned out again along the ring!

Harden's luck in this ball was a bit bad, but the NBA did not stipulate that the ball that made the iron shot was not counted due to poor luck.

Jokic took the rebound from chaos and then passed it to Richardson for a long backcourt.

Richardson ran in the front. Faced with Harden's blockade, he did not make a breakthrough, but instead made a three-pointer with an emergency stop!

However, this time Richardson was not very lucky. Although no one interfered, the basketball also slid out after slapped the basket.

Just now, the Grizzlies fans were still gloating about the Rockets' luck, but who knew that it would be the Grizzlies' turn to be unlucky so soon.

Who has the heaven spared?

Harden leaped gently, ready to take the rebound and then directly counterattack.

At the same time, Link was approaching Harden at high speed. When Harden was about to encounter basketball, Link jumped up and collided with Harden in the air.

Then he took the lead in holding the basketball with both hands, and pushed the ball back into the basket through Harden!

Just now, it was the other person who grabbed the board, but now it has become even more severely turned into the other person who has made up the board!

Harden was completely confused because he couldn't see what was happening behind him at that time.

He jumped up and grabbed a rebound and was dunked for no reason. Harden is also very innocent!

Hu Zideng was locked up and threw out the bottom line in a mess, but fierce cheers burst out from the stands of the Federal Express Arena.

"For the second consecutive frontcourt rebound, Link helped the Memphis Grizzlies equalize the score! Did you see it? This is how the superstars can affect the game if they are not accurate in shooting!"

Not to mention how excited Bill Simmons was, this kind of ball that was not an opportunity was now turned into a scoring by Link.

And this kind of score will definitely be more!

With poor shooting feel and tight defense on the opponent, Link showed his strong aggressiveness.

Crazy attack on the frame, double rushing, desperate defense, and exquisite passes, even if the shooting is not accurate, Link has several solutions to the game.

This is the real superstar, this is the real number one in the league!

To evaluate whether a star is strong enough, in addition to looking at his highlight performance, he also needs to study his performance when he is trapped in a quagmire.

After all, just looking at highlights, J.R. Smith is a bit like Jordan.

Only in this kind of struggle game can you see how high the real ceiling of a star is!

D'Antoni suspended the game, but he didn't expect that the score was tied shortly after the second quarter.

As he walked off the court, Link pointed to the fans in the stands.

Today, he will not let anyone go back from here.
Chapter completed!
