One Thousand One Hundred and Nineteen: In the air...hands-off Layup!

With 59 seconds left in the game, Popovich paused the game.

The scene where Link was nailed by Leonard was still replayed on the big screen.

This is undoubtedly a legendary defensive duel, but in this situation, if you want to win the game, you still have to score goals.

"Damn, you were able to risk a ball like that just now, what a pervert!"

After returning to the bench, Wade complained about Leonard's block just now. Wade estimated that even at his peak, he might not be able to achieve that terrifying secondary bounce ability.

"Link's block dunk in the first quarter was even more perverted. Neither of them are good people." Randolph, who didn't play much today, shook his head.

He estimated that with today's defensive intensity, he wouldn't be able to help much even if he played.

"Yes, yes. Fortunately, you two are facing off against each other today. With this kind of defense, who else can stand it." Conley also shook his head and sighed. Leonard once misplaced his defense in front of him today.

The final result was that Leonard abruptly stole the ball from Conley.

Link remained silent, still thinking about how to deal with Leonard.

If shaking him up doesn't work, then none of the other ordinary methods will work.

Joger has no good solution now. He knows very well that under the Spurs' terrible defense, the tactics he arranged may not be executed.

To put it bluntly, the outcome of this game now lies in the hands of Link and Leonard.

Whichever team can beat each other first will win.

The game quickly resumed with both sides selecting their starting lineups at the last moment.

The Spurs attacked very cautiously. They had to seize the opportunity to gain an advantage in order to take the initiative.

Even if it's only a two-point advantage.

But even in the most critical last minute, the Grizzlies' defense did not let up.

Popovich's passing strategy did not work, and the Spurs' patience still failed to open even a small gap in the Grizzlies' defense.

at last,

Leonard had to force a back-turn jumper against Lincoln's defense.

Under Link's direct face-blocking defense, Leonard struck the iron again.

"Hey, it seems that the game still has not broken away from the rhythm of defensive battles. Leonard took advantage of Link, and Link interfered with him. If they continue to play like this, the game will probably be dragged into overtime."

Hubi Brin shook his head. At this moment, the two sides cannot solve the problem simply by relying on defense.

Now, it's not just defensive abilities that will test Link and Leonard.

And their ability to score goals in desperate situations!

"Damn, aren't you tired? You didn't even give me an easy round today." Approaching Leonard again with the ball, Link couldn't help but start talking.

Leonard still doesn't respond, and sometimes you really have to wonder if he's a robot.

Link wanted to distract Leonard with trash talk, but this move was of no use to Leonard.

In fact, after thinking about it just now, Link already had a way to deal with Leonard in his mind.

Although that idea was very dangerous, it had no choice but to take the risk.

However, Link wanted to leave that method for last, so in this attack, Link just took advantage of the screen and shot immediately. The attack method was very ordinary.

Leonard, as always, quickly got rid of the screen and entangled Link, but unlike the Spurs' attack just now, Leonard failed to make the ball under interference, but Link did!

A shot that was not an opportunity but converted into a score allowed the Grizzlies to regain the initiative.

"A good shot, this is an out-and-out superstar shot. It must be admitted that Leonard's defense can score 100 points, and he has no problems. But Link's offense is 101 points."

Leonard was breathing heavily, obviously unwilling. He had already defended like that, but Link could still score.

In the current situation, a 2-point gap can be crushing.

He knew he had to score. No matter how good Link's defense is, the next turn is his last chance.

Leonard simply started singles this time, eliminating those complicated but ineffective tactics.

All the Spurs players on the field were stunned for a moment, but then quickly followed suit.

Normally, Popovich would have started yelling.

But today, he acquiesced to Leonard's behavior. Now, the only two people who can solve the game are him and Link!

Leonard dribbled the ball alternately with both hands, and Link deliberately took a step forward, as if he was going to steal it.

Leonard naturally wouldn't let Link succeed. He quickly changed direction to avoid the steal, and then prepared to break through.

Link actually stepped forward to steal the ball so impetuously. This was basically giving away points!

But when Leonard changed direction and prepared to accelerate, he found that Link's other hand was already waiting in his dribbling path.

Just now, Link was not being impatient, but deliberately tempting Leonard to break through to the right!

"This time, you finally got fooled."

As soon as Link finished speaking, he stretched out his arm and cut the ball from Leonard's hand!

"Both sides have completed countless beautiful defenses today, but this steal is likely to become the most important of all these defenses!"

Leonard couldn't believe that Link could steal the ball directly from his hand, and deliberately used a fake steal to lure the opponent to break through. How brave! Everyone makes fake moves on the offensive end, but Link is better, he uses fake moves on the defensive end.

But as an excellent basketball player, although Leonard was hit hard, he still subconsciously grabbed Link's jersey.

This is the only chance to prevent Link from making an easy quick move.

"Leonard intentionally fouled, but after this time the Spurs' foul count has been full. Next time something like this happens, Leonard will no longer have such a chance. If he fouls again, Link will go It’s the free throw line.”

Hubie Brown said and looked at the game time.

Now, there are only 26.8 seconds left before the end of the game. As long as Link can score this goal, he can completely seal the victory!

Spurs, do they really have a chance?

Leonard deliberately dragged the Grizzlies into a positional battle, hoping to use this defense as a last-ditch effort.

As long as they can prevent it, the Spurs still have 2.8 seconds to make the final shot. Therefore, the Spurs cannot foul. No matter what, we must guard against it.

Qiaogel called a timeout and arranged the final attack. Link also told everyone the plan he had just thought of.

Everyone was shocked, but Link was very calm.

"No matter what, I have to try."

After the game restarted, everyone at the scene did not even dare to express their anger. They were afraid that making noise would affect the Grizzlies players' execution of offense.

Leonard was a little nervous. This was the first time he felt nervous in the entire game.

Link had just scored a goal under his defense, which made him feel very uneasy.

So when the sideline ball was served, Leonard clung to Link.

But it wasn't Link who caught the ball in the end, but Conley.

After getting the basketball, the Grizzlies were naturally not in a hurry to attack and allowed Conley to delay time outside the three-point line.

Leonard's whole body was tense. After fighting with Link for so long, he didn't want to lose in the last round!

Not just this game, to be exact, from the time he lost the tiebreaker last season until now, Leonard has wanted to beat Link once.

He didn't want this nightmare to continue to haunt him.

When there were only 8 seconds left in the 24-second attack time, Link started to activate!

Jokic set up an off-ball screen for Link, and Link cut in with nothing!

When Link cut inside along the baseline, Conley also passed the ball up immediately.

The timing of passing this ball cannot be bad at all. If it is too fast, the ball will fly directly out of the baseline.

If you wait too long, the basketball will be in Leonard's possession.

Fortunately, Conley successfully completed this passing task. He has always been Link's old partner. He is a perfect master at feeding Link the ball.

Leonard gritted his teeth as he watched the basketball grazing his fingertips and falling into Link's arms. Now, the only chance is the aerial duel later!

He must complete the block, otherwise, everything he did today will be in vain!

After receiving the basketball, Link took a step to find a rhythm, and then immediately jumped for a layup.

"I can't let you score!" Leonard yelled, then jumped up and reached out to block the ball.

This was the first time today that Link heard Leonard speak during the game.

His roar came from the heart.

Leonard's take-off timing was very accurate, and his hand was about to touch the basketball. If nothing else, this will be another big hit, just like what he did to Link a few rounds ago!

But just as the shot was about to be blocked, Leonard saw an incredible scene.

I saw Link holding the basketball in the air, shaking his right wrist slightly, and sent the ball away.

"Did you let go!?" Leonard's eyes widened. Link shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

It was indeed not a mistake, but a pass!

But it's not a pass to others, it's a pass from the right hand to the left hand in the air!

Link sends the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, which is equivalent to throwing the basketball away in the air and catching it again with the other hand!

As a result, Leonard missed the opportunity.

Link grabbed the basketball firmly with his left hand, then walked around to the other side of the basket and sent it gently.

"brush!"

Link, who had not yet landed, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, the plan was successful! Sure enough, to deal with Leonard's extreme defense, this extreme offensive method should be used!

"The ball went in, and Link killed the game. He ended the defensive battle with two consecutive goals! But... what happened just now? How did the goal score? I remember Lin The ball was clearly in the air with his right hand." Hubie Brown had goosebumps all over his body. Although he didn't see it clearly, he knew that another historical classic goal might have been born.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on the big screen, waiting to watch the replay.

Only Leonard, who had witnessed everything with his own eyes, had already covered his head in pain...
