505: The same nightmare

Irving and Dion Witters both felt hot in their hands, which added a bit of suspense that shouldn't have existed in this game.

At the end of the third quarter, Kelly Irving breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this time, he and his team were not killed by the Grizzlies in the third quarter.

80-83, the Grizzlies entered the final game in the fourth quarter with only 3 points.

Although he lost the lead, for the Cavaliers, as long as they have not been completely killed, they have a chance to win.

In the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 5 points. At the end of the half-time game, the Grizzlies tied the score. After the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by 3 points.

The game was very anxious. Irving and Waiters used their unreasonable goals to closely tie the score. With the three-pointers of C.J. Miles and Alonzo Ki, the Cavaliers played the momentum to fight the Grizzlies to the end.

The Grizzlies have been playing steadily, Link did not take over the big bags, and no one else left behind. In short, no matter how you play, I will follow my pace. From the scene, the Grizzlies play more mediocre than the Cavaliers.

Therefore, although we have to enter the final battle in the fourth quarter with a three-point disadvantage, the Cavaliers' young men are still full of confidence.

They thought that if they could persist in the third quarter and not be knocked down by the powerful Grizzlies, they would still have the possibility of winning.

But in the eyes of Link and Stevens, it is not difficult to knock them down in the fourth quarter.

"The two little guys' efficiency was lower than each quarter, and they attacked too hard at the beginning. As their physical strength declined, they began to make various irons without realizing it. In the fourth quarter, I believe their feel will cool down further. Link, show your shooting stability as much as possible."

Stevens looked at the data for the three quarters, and the shooting percentage of Irving and Waiters declined quarter by quarter.

And what about the Grizzlies? After three quarters, their shooting percentages were almost unchanged, and their defense was equally stable.

Why do some teams clearly have good configurations but cannot achieve results? While some teams seem ordinary, they can always occupy a playoff spot?

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of stability.

If you can only win one game occasionally, even if you win the league first, it doesn’t make sense. But if you can steadily win games, even if you lose to the league last occasionally, you can still win a good ranking.

Link wiped the sweat from his body. To be honest, the game was very relaxed today. Although the score was very anxious, he personally felt that it was quite relaxed.

Because Link knew very well that this anxiety was just "fake anxiety". Once the Grizzlies seized the opportunity and exerted their strength, the Cavaliers would be gone. Therefore, the whole game was actually very Buddhist.

After the third quarter, Link only scored 18 points. In contrast, Irving's current personal score is 10 points higher than Link!

Who consumes more is clear at a glance.

Now, the opportunity has come. Link is ready to start exerting his strength.

Amid the cheers of Grizzlies fans, the fourth quarter final battle finally began. This time, it was finally the Grizzlies' turn to attack first.

During the break between Conley's dribbling, Link deliberately stood beside Irving. Irving didn't look at Link, not knowing whether it was because he focused on defense or because he didn't want to watch. After all, the last time he and Link fought one-on-one, he lost really badly.

But even so, Irving still did not escape Link's "claw". Link supported his knees with both hands, bent down, and then said lightly, "Have you forgotten the fear of being ruled by me so quickly?"

When Irving heard this, he felt a chill on his spine! But before he could think more, Conley was already in possession of the ball!

Link happened to be standing next to Irving, so he took the opportunity to provide a cover for Conley.

Conley did not hesitate and broke through with the ball. Irving couldn't cover it around, so Alonzo Ki had to switch defenses in front of Conley.

Seeing this, Conley passed the ball back to Link without thinking. Irving was sweating profusely and opened his arms!

This is the first time today, Link and Irving are in a mismatch!

"Don't be nervous, Kelly. You can beat him this time, you can win this time..." Irving was showing off his defensive posture while encouraging himself.

What about Link? Be calm and composed. At this time, Link was at the position between the three-point line and the free throw line. At this distance, the shooting was the lowest "cost-performance ratio". Because one step back can turn into three points, and one step in can make the shooting easier.

Therefore, Irving thought that Link would most likely not shoot here. So when Link was doing the tentative step, Irving let Link get a little distance.

Seeing Owenju, he took a step back and Link pulled up and shot!

Link's shot was very firm, as if no one was defending him at all.

Irving paid the price for his wrong judgment. For a player like Link who started with jump shots, he did not make any difference in shooting anywhere, and there was no such thing as "cost-performance ratio".

Irving reached out to block it in despair, but even he himself knew how weak such interference was.

"Brush!" The basketball was hollow into the net, and Link's mid-range shot was as stable as a machine! As long as there was a little space, he would score a goal!

With just one understatement of the shot, Link reminded Irving of the unbearable experience that he had looked back on more than half a month ago.

Link scored 20 points in his personal score, and also expanded the Grizzlies' advantage to 5 points. Stable, this is how Link and the Grizzlies won today!

"What expression do you have? Do you want to give up? Damn it, let's take back all the lost points!" Witts walked past Owen, looking angry.

Irving clenched his fists. Have you ever seen a teammate squirting trash on the court? Irving really couldn't stand Witters anymore.

But Witts also reminded Irving that it doesn’t matter if the defense fails. Because today, the Cavaliers’ foundation is offense and scoring!

That's right, just take back the lost points.

Irving tried to keep himself calm, and struggled to move forward when the Grizzlies fans shouted "defense" and felt the wooden floors were shaking.

The difficult progress here is not a metaphor, because Conley is entangled with Irving near the midfield line.

In the first three quarters, Conley actually didn't make the intensity very good. Because when Irving was in a state of great strength, he could still score even if you made the intensity. In the first three quarters, Irving scored a lot of unreasonable goals.

But now, the intensity as Irving's shooting percentage begins to decline will undoubtedly further reduce his offensive stability.

Zeller and Thompson have double covers, and the Cavaliers actually don’t have an offensive system because others can’t play much role on the offensive end. If you insist on the offensive system, it’s Irving and Witts singles.

Therefore, seeing Irving in trouble, the first reaction of the rest of the Cavaliers was to help him get out of the predicament.

Irving used the cover to get rid of Conley with difficulty, but as soon as he came out, he met Iguodala who came to make up for defense.

Randolph and Gasol Jr. did not follow up to defend, but Iguodala stepped forward to support!

"Ball!" Witts took the opportunity to come out and waved at Irving. Seeing Irving in trouble, Witts was so happy. Now, it's time for him to prove his worth!

Irving was afraid of delaying the attack, and thought that if Iguodala let Witters go, Witters should be an open position. So, although he was reluctant, Irving still passed the ball out.

"Fuck, it's so hard!" Witts complained secretly when he received the ball, but as soon as he took the ball, he saw the "big devil" Link standing in front of him.

"I've been waiting for a long time, it's so weird!" Link replied to Witters.

"Kelly is afraid of you, I'm not afraid." Witts was patronizing the fight with Link, but ignored Alonzo Ki, who was temporarily in the vacant position. When Witts discovered it, Conley had already defended Alonzo Ki.

Byron Scott almost got angry to death. This guy Waiters is only in the first grade, and his cancer attributes are so strong!

Although he failed to pass the ball in the first time, Witts was not upset. Anyway, singles were his favorite things to do.

If he beats someone Irving cannot beat, wouldn’t this prove that he is more awesome than Irving?

Witts began to dribble the ball alternately outside the three-point line, and then used a quick stop and quick start to break through.

I have to admit that Witts is still very talented. Being selected as the sixth player in college in the fourth pick is exactly what this guy is so talented.

But what Link is most afraid of is a player with a strong head. Westbrook is better talent than Witts. But he has a strong head, and basically he will suffer once he plays the Grizzlies.

Witts took off without throwing away Link and made a layup. He might think that he could just stop and get up quickly.

After seeing Witters take off, Link exerted force with two steps!

Witts, who had just thrown the basketball out, felt that the light was gone under the basket. Looking at the big hand covering his head, Witts found that he was actually a little scared.

Now, he knew why Irving was afraid of Link. The oppression that this Grizzly No. 0 brought to people was something that Waiters had never encountered before.

The next second, the basketball made a crisp sound, and then hit the rebound.

Pinboard hat!

After Waiters landed, he turned around in panic and saw Link shrugging, "It's so ink."

The basketball that bounced back was caught by Conley. When Conley got the ball, he immediately found Iguodala running towards the frontcourt.

After more than half a season of running-in, Iguodala has already had a very tacit understanding with everyone. Now as long as Link jumps and catches up, Iguodala's first reaction is to run wildly in the frontcourt.

Therefore, when Witts was still stunned, when Irving had just turned over and when Alonzo Ki was still looking for his own matchup, Iguodala had already received the basketball in the frontcourt.

All Grizzlies fans held their breath. The Grizzlies' best dunker is going to bomb the basket!

Iguodala did not disappoint the fans. In the undefensive fast break, he ended the attack with a beautiful back button, widening the gap to 7 points!

Link stood there and applauded Iguodala, while Irving and Witts looked at each other.

Now, this pair of teammates who are fighting openly and secretly finally have a similarity.

They all have the same nightmare, the guy wearing the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey, quieted the two defenders in an instant.
Chapter completed!
