At the beginning, the Mavericks were deducted by Link. This year's accurate MVP was given a warning to the Mavericks as soon as they came up.

Carter on the Mavericks bench looked at Link's exaggerated dunk just now, and his eyes were full of envy.

Thinking back then, he could soar freely in the sky like Link. Unfortunately, time cruelly attacked him.

However, Carter didn't feel panic. Link's dunk just now was indeed very exciting, but this would not scare everyone from the Mavericks.

Carter knew that his teammates were the most experienced and patient players. In the next attack, the Mavericks would immediately tie the score!

Jose Calderon started organizing the offense, and the Spanish veteran has played in the NBA for ten seasons. Although he is not a superstar, he knows better than everyone else how to control the rhythm.

Calderon paused outside the three-point line and waited for his teammates to take the place. The Mavericks' offense was a bit complicated, with various unball covers and interspersed running positions, which made Joggel dazzled.

Carlisle is worthy of being a master of tactics. God knows how many brain cells Carlisle has killed this ordinary attack.

In the end, Monta Ellis got rid of Iguodara's poker and went outside the three-point line, and received a timely pass from Calderon, giving him a fleeting shot opportunity.

After Alice jumped and shot, he attracted the attention of everyone in the Grizzlies, he turned into a pass in the air, passing the ball to Nowitzki, who was standing under the basket at this time!

Ellis' progress this season is obvious, mainly because he has begun to really play in the right way.

In the past, Ellis must have shot this kind of ball himself. But now, he is willing to hand over the ball to his teammates who have a better chance.

Nowitzki directly turned over and jumped after receiving the basketball. The German's 2.13-meter-high and his extremely tall shooting point made it difficult for his shot to be blocked.

What's more, he was facing Randolph, a match that was 7 centimeters shorter than him!

Randolph didn't expect the basketball would be suddenly passed, so his reaction was actually a beat slower.

Nowitzki took action comfortably, and saw that the basketball had passed Randolph's palm and was about to fall into the net.

Just as the Germans were about to celebrate, behind Randolph, the guy wearing the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey suddenly jumped out. His bounce speed was very fast, and he jumped behind Randolph, but he easily surpassed Randolph's height.

Finally, before the basketball completely rose to its highest point, Link thrust his arm like a whip!

"Bang!" The basketball was shot and flew into the audience!

"Link blocked Nowitzki's shot. What's the action? Is it blocked by someone else? It's simply incredible! Link just now completed the block through Randolph. He had a spring on his sole, right?"

O'Neal covered his head exaggeratedly, making Hubby Brown from the other commentary station unable to help laughing.

Nowitzki's face turned pale after landing! His shots were rarely blocked, which is one of the reasons why he can score efficiently.

But just now, Link slapped the basketball out in such an exaggerated way. What a terrible power does that guy's legs contain!?

"Concentrate, Zach!" After Link finished the blocking, he patted Randolph on the butt, and then continued to return to Marion.

For him, the kind of closure just now seemed nothing strange.

Everyone in the Mavericks was stunned. Nowitzki's shot that must be made was forcibly slapped away by Link. Unconsciously, the fear in their hearts began to spread rapidly.

Although they are still the Mavericks' ball and they still have an offensive opportunity. But at this time, the Mavericks' momentum is no longer as strong as before.

This time, the Mavericks were attacked by Monta Ellis himself. After passing Iguodala with a beautiful dribble, he planned to hit the basket.

However, under the blockade of the black and white bears, Ellis's pull-up layup finally slipped out.

Monta Ellis is definitely a difficult layup king. When he breaks through the penalty area, he can always put the ball in with various incredible moves.

But not every one of these difficult layups can successfully score points.

The Mavericks missed two consecutive offenses, and the defending champion Grizzlies showed their league's first defensive strength. Gasol Jr. may not be able to win the best defensive player this season, but this does not change the fact that he is still the best inside line in the league to defend.

Vince Carter off the court was a little nervous now. The Mavericks are a team with more offense than defense. It’s not that the Mavericks do not pay attention to defense, but that their defensive ability is really limited.

But now, the Mavericks play so hard on the offensive end that they are best at. How should they deal with the defensive end?

Link quickly gave the answer, and the Mavericks couldn't handle it at all.

Link was not polite this time. After receiving the pass from outside the three-point line, he immediately called Randolph to cover!

Seeing that Randolph brought the cover, Rick Carlisle's heart was in his throat. That guy Link, could it be so cruel!

Randolph's cover was soon in place, and Link did not play with those fancy ones, and directly broke through to the side with the cover!

Marion could not bypass the huge Randolph at the first time, so Nowitzki had to change his defense.

At this moment, Link suddenly stopped urgently, and then Randolph hurriedly retreated. In an instant, Link got a chance to fight Nowitzki alone!

Nowitzki, who has become extremely slow, is undoubtedly the biggest loophole in the Mavericks' defense in the current Mavericks' formation!

"Link misplaced Dirk, God, Dirk will be crazy!" Kenny Smith shook his head. Link definitely wanted this misplaced. In the playoffs, there was no sympathy. How to kill the opponent in the most efficient way is the only thing a professional player needs to consider.

Link is far more cruel than Carlisle imagined!

Nowitzki knew it was difficult for him to defend against Link, but he did not give up directly. He still opened his arms and stood in front of Link seriously.

Link did not play Nowitzky, but used a body forward to change direction very efficiently, leaving the German behind like a wooden stake. This is the greatest respect that Link can give to the Germans.

Nowitzki is moving slowly now, making him helpless. He is now in two different states from him three years ago.

Link shot like a bullet into the heart of the Mavericks. Dalemport made a brave attack and blocked Link's layup.

But Link turned into a pass in the air and handed the ball to Gasol. After Gasol took the ball, he jumped and dunked on the spot, allowing the Grizzlies to rage the basket in the second consecutive round!

Link did not celebrate after helping Gasol score the goal or squirt about trash words, but instead called everyone to retreat quickly! His attitude made Carlisle's heart hurt.

Carlisle knew that in terms of hard strength, the Mavericks were definitely not as good as the Grizzlies 74. If they wanted to win the game, they had to create some "accidents".

For example, a player suddenly explodes. For example, seize the opportunity of the opponent taking it lightly.

But Link's condition caused all these "accidents" to die in his stomach. He did not intend to give the Mavericks any chance, even if it was a round of chance!

In the subsequent games, the fans of Cuban and Mavericks were extremely painful. After five minutes of the first quarter, the Mavericks only scored in one sports goal!

And what about the Grizzlies? They continue to output efficiently, as if they wished to let the game enter garbage time in the first quarter.

When the game reached the last 30 seconds, everyone present could not believe their eyes!

Because the first quarter is about to be finished, the Mavericks scored only 9 points, not double digits yet!

"Incredible, what am I watching? Are you watching a high school game? Because only in high school games can you not score doubles in one quarter of the game!"

"The Grizzlies' defense was executed quite ruthlessly, and the Mavericks did not receive any preferential treatment because of the eighth place in the West!"

"The Grizzlies are almost 20 points ahead in a single quarter! It's a pity that Mark Cuban is not here, otherwise his expression will definitely be even more exciting than the game!"

Carter was standing on the court at this time, panting. He looked at the score, and the big "9" was extremely dazzling.

A professional team, a professional team that just won the championship a few years ago, could not score double-digit points in one quarter! Carter can guarantee that this is definitely the most shameful game he has ever played in his career!

What about Link? His expression was much softer at this time, sitting on the bench. Now he can guarantee that the Grizzlies will not repeat the old path of the Spurs. They will play tiebreak in the first round? It doesn't exist. If possible, Link hopes that from the first round to the finals, there will be no need to play tiebreak.

In the end, with Devin Harris's buzzer-beating three-pointer from a long distance, the Mavericks finally broke the embarrassment of not being able to score in double digits in a single quarter.

However, 12 points in a single quarter still allowed the Mavericks to tie the lowest score record in their team history. 31 to 12, the defending champion allowed the Mavericks to set a record as soon as they finished the first quarter.

But no one wants this record.
