As time went by, there were more and more people in the Att Center. Until half an hour left before the start of the game, the entire stadium was stuffed.

In the second round of the series, every game can be said to be the focus battle. The Lakers and the Thunder are fighting hard, and the Grizzlies and the Spurs are also attracting much attention. How much attention has it been? Before the game started, Spurs fans shouted for their home team.

Amid the cheers of "Come on the Spurs" throughout the game, the famous basketball reporter David Aldridge found Popovich and will give him a brief interview before the game.

"Link said yesterday in the training hall that they would go back with the home advantage, which means they are very confident in winning today. Do you think Link is just bluffing, or is the Grizzlies really able to play better strength?" David Aldridge doesn't like to make those fake ones, and he raised a sharp question as soon as he started.

"If the other party wants to respond to anything, the Spurs won't have to play. The team hired me not to do this, I'm not a diplomat, and my job is not to make remarks about the other party's speeches. I only know how to lead the team up, and I don't care about anything else." Popovich is very serious. He has advantages in playing at home, but also pressure.

He would not believe what the media said. A person who can convince Kobe is definitely not the kind of person who will give up easily.

Before the game started, Leonard's eyes did not turn away from Link. What was the reason for that guy's behavior before the game started?

Both sides appeared, and this time, Popovich changed his team again. He gave up the center and used Duncan to play the fifth position. Burris Dior, who performed well in the last game, was pulled into the fourth position.

There is no doubt that this lineup will be more flexible than Split's set to play center. Moreover, Duncan, who is now in his third year of life, will not suffer any loss.

It seems that the Spurs are not self-confidence. They are also studying the Grizzlies and improving their playing style. This is the playoffs, and both sides are constantly getting stronger during the game. After the head coaches of both sides have no tricks, they will be more persevering.

Link jumped around very actively before the start of the game. His excited state was very different from his condition when he ran directly on the bus to "Ge You lie down".

Steve Cole also teased on the commentary stage, "I knew that Link is not the kind of player who will give up the game easily. Waiting for a good look, the show is about to begin!"

After the referee's whistle sounded, Gasol Jr. rushed up and fought for the first attack from Duncan.

Duncan didn't care much about the game, but just placing the footrests ritually. The Grizzlies attacked first, and Leonard still had no expression on his face, sticking to the number 0 that he had harassed before the game

Link was not in a hurry. He stood on the right side of the horn and raised his hand to signal Conley to hit the ball in. Conley then handed the ball to Gasol, who was sitting in the penalty area. Seeing this, Link hurriedly cut in!

But Leonard guarded very tightly. Link was entangled before he received the ball and had no room at all.

Just as everyone was applauding Leonard's excellent defense as always, Link suddenly ran back and returned to the three-point line. Gasol Jr. responded quickly and almost immediately sent the ball to Link.

After receiving the ball, Link flew a shot and did not shoot, but dribble through!

Sure enough, Leonard was not fooled and was not fired, but hurriedly retreated when Link was transported out.

"Leonard didn't sway, his defense was as tight as ever!" Cole exclaimed. Leonard's defense was really stable, just like his personality.

But is it really airtight? Link smiled and saw Leonard retreating. He dribbled and immediately retreated and returned to the three-point line!

"What!?" Leonard didn't expect that the breakthrough after a fake shot was actually a fake move! When he realized it, Link raised his basketball and took action.

Leonard stretched out his long arm and sealed it, but he was still half a beat slower. After all, Leonard was shaken and took a step back. In a NBA-level game, one step was enough to do a lot of things.

The basketball drew a rainbow arc, and the net was hollowed out in the surprise eyes of everyone!

Link shook Leonard away with two fake moves in a row. As it turns out, Leonard is not from the future terminator! And as long as people are, they will definitely make mistakes! They will definitely be deceived!

"The three-pointer was hit by a step back! Link was very strong as soon as he got up. He used two consecutive fake moves to play with Leonard! Hahaha, now, Leonard knows it's amazing!"

After scoring the goal, Link hooked his finger at Leonard. He knew that Leonard was not easy to shake. Leonard could always block the breakthrough after a fake shot.

But what if even the breakthrough is fake? Link thought about this issue when he watched the video yesterday, and today, he turned what he was thinking into reality.

Leonard curled his lips. The defense just now really made Link think too simple. After a fake shot, he made a false breakthrough. Link's thinking was quite clear! Leonard looked at him with admiration!

But Leonard believes that just one goal does not mean anything. Basketball is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint. A temporary lead cannot be equated with the final victory.

"Pass a few more passes, pass a few more passes! Don't worry about the success rate!" When the Spurs attacked, Popovich yelled on the sidelines in the first round.

Duncan is still the main attacking point of the Spurs today. After all, Old Deng scored nearly 30 points in the last game.

Parker hung the ball to Duncan, who leaned against Gasol, preparing to pick one out of his basic skills warehouse to deal with the Spaniard.

But before Duncan could do the move, Link double-teamed up.

"Double teaming so early?" Duncan didn't think much and passed the ball to Leonard!

But the moment Duncan passed the ball, Link changed direction and rushed towards Leonard! Seeing Leonard starting to shoot, Link did not block the ball, but raised his arms high and tried to cover the basket!

Finally, Link successfully rushed to Leonard before he took action. Link raised his arms and jumped up to make sure that Leonard could not determine the position of the basket.

Everyone on the Spurs' bench stood up and prepared to celebrate the goal. After all, in the last game, Leonard's three-point shooting percentage was 100%.

However, this time, the basketball hit the side edge of the basket and failed to hit! Leonard missed the shooting, and the Grizzlies had a chance to expand their advantage!

Link waved his fist happily, and the strategy of defending Leonard really worked!

Based on the game video and Link's observation of Leonard before the start of today's game, Link confirmed that Leonard's shot was framed.

The shooting of NBA players is roughly divided into two types: one is looking at the frame and the other is looking at the ball.

Steve Cole, who was commenting on the game at this time, was a great three-point sniper back then. Cole has been a person who was shooting all his life. He once said in an interview, "When I picked up a basketball for the first time, I would look at the trajectory of the ball after I took a shot."

Watching the ball shoot means that when someone interferes in front of you, your jump shot arc is different from what you are used to in your daily training, and the shooting will add more uncertainty. But on the other hand, if the shooter is good at actively adjusting the arc, he can give himself more room for fault tolerance.

Leonard's shooting coach England has always advocated looking at the frame when shooting. He said that this would have a higher tolerance rate and there is no need to worry about being disturbed and changing the arc.

So Link did not interfere with Leonard's basketball just now, but covered the basket! For Leonard, this would undoubtedly interfere with his aiming!

In the eyes of fans, this may be just an ordinary blockade and an ordinary shooting. Only Link knows how much energy he has spent on researching this!

However, he is very glad that his efforts have been rewarded. As for the same sentence, Link believes that no player cannot defend. The difference is how much energy you are willing to spend on defense.

After the Grizzlies counterattacked, Link broke through and passed the ball to assist Gasol Jr. to make a mid-range shot, helping the Grizzlies get a 4-0 start.

Popovich became nervous in an instant and went around the sidelines.
