642: Extreme Lean Back (4K Chapter)

NBA-level stars are generally difficult to completely contain. If this star happens to be in a very hot offensive state today, then he will be in good condition on the offensive end.

Therefore, there have been many classic star duels in NBA history. This kind of drama is exactly what fans like the most.

In 2001, the Eastern Conference semi-finals between the Raptors and the 76ers were the most exciting playoff match between the two in the 21st century. Iverson averaged 33.7 points per game, including 50+ points in the second and fifth games. "Half-Man and Demigod" Carter was not to be outdone. He scored 50 points in the third game, and averaged 30.4 points per game in the series. The two of them played seven consecutive games, which made fans excited.

In 2006, the two best players of the 2003 generation teamed up to bring a wonderful scoring performance to the audience in Cleveland. Heat star Wade scored 44 points away, while James scored 47 points on home court, making 16 of 25 shots, and led the team to take away the final victory. This game fully demonstrated the talents of both James and Wade and was regarded as a classic.

Every matchup between Zhan Wei was as intense and exciting as Mars hit the Earth.

Speaking of classic star explosions, how can we not mention Arenas in 2006?

In NBA history, only two people can score 60+ points on the Lakers, one is Chamberlain and the other is Arenas.

In the game where the Wizards challenged the Lakers away on December 18, 2006, the "General" made 17 of 32 shots in the game, hitting a terrible 60 points. Among them, he scored 16 points in overtime, completely ending the suspense. Kobe was more efficient in this game, scored 45 points on 15 of 24 shots, but even so, he could only watch Arenas take the victory away from Staples.

Of course, the biggest winner of this game is the fans who witnessed the super performances of two super scorers.

There were many classic star competition scenes in 2006, such as Nash and Kidd. On December 8, 2006, the Suns defeated the Nets with an exaggerated score of 161 to 157 away. The two teams collided with Mars and became classic representatives of gorgeous attacks. Kidd scored 38 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists in the whole game, while Nash scored 42 points, 13 assists and hit back. In the end, the two scored 80 points and 27 assists together, which was the craziest performance in the point guard showdown.

Facts have proved that the scene of stars breaking out has always been the "standard" in NBA games. Sometimes, both sides are so hard to solve, but no one can completely bring down their opponents.

At this time, it depends on which side has a higher upper limit. Whoever can perform better at the extreme state will be the ultimate winner.

And today, this game played at the Banker's Life Arena will undoubtedly become another classic in the history of the NBA star showdown.

On the court, George Hill is controlling basketball. Hill has only scored 11 points until today because most of the Pacers' scores come from their star Paul George.

Hill was waiting outside the three-point line with the ball, and everyone knew what he was waiting for.

George and Link were entangled fiercely, and George could not completely throw Link away. Everyone was waiting for George to catch the ball.

In the end, George chose to fight Hill and cooperate.

"Damn it!" Link cursed and slowed down suddenly. Because if Link didn't slow down, he knocked George Hill to the ground, he would have to pay a foul.

Taking advantage of Link's opportunity to slow down, "Paojiao" got the basketball and drove straight into the inside!

At this time, the second-year student Festus Azell Gasol, who guarded the inside of the Grizzlies, consumed too much today, and he couldn't keep up with the progress at the fast pace. So Azell gained more playing time than usual.

Azelley was very brave. He took a decisive step forward, jumped towards George, and wanted to block George. But George was even more fearless. He had scored 40 points until now! He was not afraid of anyone!

So, people only saw George and Azelley colliding in the air! But in the end, Azelley was directly knocked out of the bottom line, and George completed the dunk toughly!

"Dunked across the board! Poor Azeli, he is very brave, but he didn't get the ending in hope!"

George yelled at Azeli after dunking, very domineering. Azeli shook his head pitifully. George's impact just now was too strong, and he couldn't resist it at all.

At the 42nd point of the game, Paul George broke the score high in his career!

George's performance today can be seen as being able to score a new career high with the Grizzlies and Link's defense.

"It's okay, you're doing well, but you're a little bit of luck." Link walked up and patted Azelley on the shoulder, and said some comforting words.

Azelley's expression then eased a little.

George's dunk just now was indeed too violent and too damaging. Next time George handed over his hand, Link would rather knock Hill down than let George break through so easily.

The only one who can stop George today is himself.

But Link then looked up at the big screen on the scene. Is there another time?

At this time, the two sides fought 103 to 105, and the Pacers took a key 2-point lead with George's dunk just now. The game time was only 25 seconds left, and Link curled his lips, perhaps there was no next time.

Dave Joggel immediately shouted a timeout and arranged the tactics of the last attack.

The entire audience was aimed at Link, and he now became the key to deciding the end of the game.

Link's performance today is also very outstanding. He has scored 39 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, with a quasi-triple double-double.

He and George both scored beautiful data, otherwise how could they be said to be mutual explosions? Link and George's wonderful offensive performances are the main tone of today's game.

There is no doubt that today's last attack will definitely fall into Link's hands. Whether George can defend Link once in a critical round, and whether Link can continue his magical scoring performance has become the last suspense today.

Link sat on the bench, panting. It was a very physical test to try his best to score crazy points under the Pacers' defense, the second in the league.

Of course, Link believes that George must be very tired now. After all, it is also a physical job to cut 40+ points on the Grizzlies and himself.

If there is no chance to win the game later, Link will choose to drag the game into overtime without hesitation.

In overtime, Link believes that he can handle George! After all, physical fitness is Link's strength.

After four quarters of each other, it is time to decide the winner.

Jogel's first plan is similar to what Link imagined. The Grizzlies will create opportunities outside the three-point line and strive for a one-hit kill.

But if the opportunity cannot be obtained, Link needs to use cover to break through. As for what to do after the breakthrough, it is Link's business.

"Link, don't force yourself to win. We should seek stability. If the game is delayed in overtime, Hibert will definitely not be able to withstand it. At that time, it will be the time for you to score crazy points. Go and take it seriously."

Before the game began, Quinn Snyder grabbed Link and whispered a few times.

Link nodded slightly. It seemed that Snyder had a clear judgment on the situation. Although he was just an assistant coach, Snyder took every game very seriously.

In the last 25 seconds, the Pacers were only 25 seconds away from the victory. All the fans stood up, believing that this was a night belonging to Paul George.

Scored 42 points, defeated Link, broke the Grizzlies' unbeaten golden body, and continued the Pacers' unbeaten record... Well, all this looks pretty good, and the script should develop in this direction.

But Link never follows the script.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

The Grizzlies had just opened the ball, and the entire Banker Life Arena seemed to have erupted. The yellow cornfield was rolling, and the atmosphere of the game was pushed to the highest point.

The unbeaten golden body of the two teams must break one. Of course, Link knew that no team could maintain a complete victory in 82 regular season games, and it would be a matter of time before the defeat was lost.

But, not today!

Link encountered George's tight defense, but Link was very grateful that the Pacers did not have double-teams.

Now, the Pacers have become the defensive mode of pinching the two ends at the beginning of the game. They don't let Link or anyone else on the Grizzlies shoot three-pointers, eliminating the possibility of losing.

Conley first controlled the time from the outside. When the game was 18 seconds left, Link took over and took over the ball control power from Conley!

At the scene, the Pacers fans shouted louder. It seemed that the louder the shouting, the stronger the Pacers players' defense could be.

George is on high alert! He no longer wants to play this mutual scoring game with Link. Now, he is about to end the game!

In 10 seconds, Link began to dribble the ball between his hands and crotch outside the three-point line to find the rhythm. The black and white bears came up to cover twice, but the effect was not good. It seemed that the tactics could not be implemented. Link waved his hand and he wanted to play singles!

Link suddenly accelerated the breakthrough, but George did not lose his position. Meanwhile, Hibert walked to the basket and covered the entire basket.

Neither three-pointers nor the basket can work, Link's only choice is to shoot mid-range shots!

"George has been very good at preventing and always staying in front of Link. This summer, the two of them sweated together in the training camp, which is really too much for each other! It's not easy for Link to swim past George!"

Link gritted his teeth. Not only did his breakthrough not attract double-teams, but even George did not throw it away. It seems that the only option now is to drag the game into overtime.

Link then suddenly stopped and retreated. There were countless stars who were flying away by Link's move, and Bynum was even knocked down by Link.

But Paul George not only did not make a fool of himself, but he also stuck it on the moment Link retreated!

As Reggie Miller said, they know each other very well!

"The game is over, Link!" George yelled. It was not a few seconds before the game ended. Link was unable to continue dribbling because of stepping back. This was a defensive defense that he had taken Link!

Stopped the ball while being strictly guarded from the middle distance, Link was almost forced into a dead corner.

Shoot directly? No, George is waiting for himself to shoot directly. Link can guarantee that if he shoots directly, he will not be a goal, but George's big attack!

So, when Link was forced to death, he chose to jump off on the spot and turn over and jump back!

"This... Link is adding difficulty to his shot!" Reggie Miller was shocked. This choice was too difficult!

But in fact, Link can only use this complicated move to win a little shot space for himself.

George was indeed very blocked. He was tall and his arms were long, and he was not bad at bounce. If Link hadn't had a little tilt angle, the ball would have been blocked 100%.

George blocked Link's face, which was logically a very successful defense. But George was very nervous in the air.

He knew better than anyone else that he had just been half a beat slower! And this guy, Link, even if he just seized the opportunity of half a beat...

Link took action before his vision was completely blocked. Because the angle of leaning back was too large, he fell directly on his back and fell down after taking action.

George turned around immediately and found that the basketball's flight trajectory was very correct, and it seemed like he was about to enter!

But the first time, the basketball hit the forefront of the basket!

At that moment, the entire Banker Life Stadium fans raised their arms, and Larry Bird was so excited that he "bounced" from his seat.

Win!?

Link sat up from the ground and just saw the basketball fall down twice.

He knew that there was no problem with his move. The reason he hit the front of the basket was because he just leaned back a little too much. However, this kind of small episode would not affect the hit rate!

The next second, the basketball passed through the net. At the same time, the rebound glowed red.

Link and fans in all Indianapolis made a big joke!

"The ball went in! At the last moment, Link successfully equalized the score! This goal was too difficult, and George did not lose his place from beginning to end. But Link still scored and scored the 41st point in the half game! Ladies and gentlemen, the battle will continue!"

Although Miller supported the Pacers, Link's goal was so exciting that he couldn't help but shout out.

Link sat on the ground, looking at the panting Paul George with a relaxed smile.

"Now, the game is really over, George."

George hammered the floor unwillingly. He was only a few seconds away from being able to completely block Link, just a few seconds away!

Link stood up with the help of his teammates, and he had a very relaxed expression after scoring 41 points.
Chapter completed!
