778: A flank combination with a combined score of 60 points
Passing through the crotch is actually not a exclusive action on the street court.
In the NBA arena, although there are not many examples of people passing through the crotch, they are not without traces. Moreover, even in the fierce playoffs, there have been scenes of people passing through the crotch before.
In the 2007 Finals, the Spurs vs. Cavaliers. At that time, Manu Ginobili broke through the dear Daniel Gibson with a punch and successfully made a layup.
Ginobili has been through the crotch in his career and is probably the Spurs' player with the least style of playing.
But most players who can pass through the crotch are defenders. Moreover, most of them are number one. Because in the extremely high-level NBA field, it is extremely difficult to break the space, let alone a fancy job like passing through the crotch.
If you had not had the league's top ball control ability, you would not have been able to complete such an action on the NBA arena.
However, just now, Link, a standard small forward with a height of 2.3 meters, wore Leonard with an action that made many defenders ashamed!
What's even more terrifying is that Leonard was selected into the second team of the best defensive team this year! In the last round of the Western Conference semi-finals, his defense made the scoring champion Durant struggle very hard.
It was such a defensive hero who was fooled by Link in the way he was penetrated by the crotch.
From any angle, Link's goal just now is incredible.
"Who can tell me what Link thinks! How could he think of such an action as a crotch-passing person? That's Kavay Leonard, who is a member of the best defensive team! Link is too brave. From this year's dunk contest, there is nothing he dares to do!"
Hubby Brown still feels tingling in his scalp. Who would have thought that he could see such exaggerated and extraordinary movements in the top of the West?
Lao Hubi dares to bet that the fans of the other 49 states who support the Spurs must have been cheering for Link's extraordinary beauty just now!
No one is immune to that kind of wonderful thing. As long as you like basketball, you can't dislike that action.
At this time, on the Spurs bench, Popovich found Leonard frowning.
Leonard rarely expresses his emotions on his face. No matter what the situation or what kind of powerful opponent he can face calmly.
But now, Leonard was beaten by Link again and frowned. Leonard's plan to lock Link was completely ruined!
On the other hand, the Grizzlies players were yelling with excitement. Like the fans, they had not yet come back to their senses from the exciting scene just now.
Link looked up at the replay on the big screen on the scene, and even he himself felt incredible!
When he broke through, he didn't think so much about it, and it was even more impossible for him to deliberately think about wearing Leonard's crotch.
The only thing Link thought about at that time was to score a goal, and the only thing he was thinking about was how to pass Leonard.
Seeing Leonard swaying between himself and Butler, with all kinds of flaws, Link knocked the basketball to the ground like a conditioned reflex.
I just walked over in such an unknown way.
To put it bluntly, the action that was completely done by Link with instinct. When Link hit the ground and heard the whistle of the game, he realized how incredible he had done.
Grant Hill has gorgeous ball control skills, but his playing style is relatively simple.
Link interprets how fancy Grant Hill is.
As a player who is based on the NBA with defense, Leonard must be quite depressed and even self-doubt after being penetrated by the crotch.
Although that guy has no expression on his face all day long, he is not a real Terminator robot. He also has emotions and emotions, but he is just buried deeper than others.
But Link believed that no matter how deep it was buried, Leonard would have been hit just now.
After all, passing through the crotch is a very humiliating action.
If Leonard had been in a frustrated mood, Link would be more relaxed the more he played.
This quasi-fmvp is not mature enough.
The short pause time did not change the Spurs' decline.
After returning from the timeout, Ginobili's slutty pass was intercepted by Jimmy Butler and took a turnover.
Ginobili's passes are always on the verge of the five best and the mistakes. If the passes are made, it is a good goal destined to score the five best. If you fail to pass, you will be destined to be counterattacked.
It's either heaven or hell.
Unfortunately, Ginobili failed this time.
Jimmy Butler pushed the ball quickly. This time, Leonard firmly chose to defend Link.
Then, Butler leaned against Ginobili and made a forced layup. With Ginobili's body, it was really difficult to withstand Butler's impact.
Once back, the score difference was widened to 15 points. In other words, the Spurs' timeout did not play any role at all.
In the second quarter, it was under the double offensive of Link and Butler. In the end, the Spurs barely stabilized the gap at 13 points with several consecutive three-pointers at the last moment.
However, 13 points behind in the first half was beyond Popovich's expectations.
In his imagination, the Spurs should beat the Grizzlies in half!
He thought he could control the game, but the Spurs were out of control throughout the game.
After entering the second half, the Spurs began to increase shooting from outside the three-point line, trying to equalize the score with intensive three-point goals.
But the three-pointers are so random that the Spurs are not able to achieve the three-point efficiency of the Warriors in the future.
Not to mention the Spurs, in fact, in the entire NBA history, there are only a handful of teams with three-pointers as stable as the Warriors.
In the middle of the third quarter, the Spurs narrowed the gap to 4 points with a three-pointer. But then, the Spurs experienced another embarrassing time of not scoring for 4 minutes. During this period, they missed all 5 three-pointers. Without being able to score, they were bombarded by Link and Butler.
Originally, the wings were the strength of the Spurs, but now they were completely beaten by the Grizzlies.
Popovich's roar became smaller and smaller, and his expression became more and more lonely. When the game reached the last three minutes of the fourth quarter and the Spurs were still 14 points behind, Popovich completely gave up resistance.
This old man who thought he could easily deal with the grizzly bear's eyes and messy hair. He was sitting on the bench at this time, and it was no different from an ordinary old man.
So Link said, don't over-mythize Popovich.
That guy is just a mortal.
In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs 122-105 at home. Duncan scored 27 points, making them the only player to score 20 points.
On the Grizzlies, Link and Jimmy Butler scored 60 points together! Link scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, while Butler scored 26 points. The scores of these two people accounted for 50% of the Grizzlies' total score.
The Spurs' wing was blown away. Link, who was defending Leonard, also became the player with the highest score in the game today.
After the game, Popovich felt a little dazed when he was interviewed.
Since entering the playoffs, the Spurs have not been abused so badly. Although they have lost several games before, they have basically lost.
This is the first time that the opponent is slaughtered by more than 120 points today!
The white-haired old man didn't say any more jokes, and he couldn't even organize his words well, and hesitated.
"We...we have to prepare for the game again. Link is different from Durant, and the Grizzlies and the Thunder are different. We have to say that we have encountered an opponent who is stronger than all teams in the league."
In the end, Popovich said something and left quickly.
On the other side, espn reporters kept Link. Today, Link was once again named the best in the game. The Spurs changed many defensive strategies to deal with Link, but Link still scored a game-high 34 points.
Coupled with that thrust against Leonard, Link became the most highly watched player in the game.
"This is a key big win, and you're going to be the first in the Western Conference Finals. Do you have anything to say?" The reporter's question was very simple. He didn't want to make things difficult for Link.
Link grinned and grabbed the microphone in the host's hand, "I'm glad, I proved that the approval rating will not have any impact on victory. Not to mention 49 states, even if the whole world does not support us, as long as there is one state to support us, we will be invincible!"
After saying that, Link pointed to the fans in the stands. Tennessee fans also rewarded Link's most intense cheers.
As for fans in the other 49 states, Link is very happy that they can go to the hell with the Spurs together!
Link felt quite accomplished to be able to disappoint so many people because of themselves...
Chapter completed!
