One Thousand One Hundred and Forty Three: Master of Aerial Acrobatics
Klay Thompson is definitely a typical player who cannot judge a book by its cover.
Judging from his appearance alone, you might think he is just an ordinary white guy. Whether it's on or off the court, this guy won't cause any trouble.
First of all, however, Thompson is not white. Secondly, Thompson is by no means a bad guy, whether on or off the court.
Off the court, Thompson's girlfriend changed her hair color more often than Rodman did. It is no exaggeration to say that Thompson is definitely one of the most popular players in the NBA.
On the court, Thompson often did some incredible things.
He is not the number one player on the Warriors. Everyone positions him as the best second player.
However, 40 points in the half, 60 points in the three quarters, 37 points in a single quarter, and 14 three-pointers in a single game all happened to Thompson.
There is no doubt about his explosive scoring power. Once he enters "Buddha Mode", it means that a new record is about to be born.
Thompson has created countless incredible moments, so when people saw Thompson hit three goals in a row in the fourth quarter, everyone in Oracle Arena regained their confidence.
This ugly guy has entered "Buddha mode".
After Thompson scored eight points in a row, the experienced Iguodala used a beautiful breakthrough to cause a foul and successfully stopped the Grizzlies' loss.
Iguodala is indeed a trustworthy veteran, although he has been completely reduced to a substitute this season. But Iguodala is never absent at critical moments.
However, at the free throw line, Iguodala made only one of two free throws. Although the situation was stabilized, the point difference could not be effectively widened.
The Warriors did not let down Iguodala, and then Stephen Curry's three-pointer caused the Grizzlies to suffer another heavy blow!
"It's started, it's started, the Splash Brothers' touch has begun to spread to each other. After Thompson scored 8 points in a row, Curry also shot away. Now, the point difference is close to within 20 points! I take back what I said before, the game is far from over. Woolen cloth!"
Mike Breen said, looking at the Grizzlies bench.
Sure enough, Link was talking to Jorge. I guess they are discussing about making a comeback!
But when the splash brothers both cast their feelings,
Can Link really stop them in time?
Just as Mike Brin thought of this, he heard a rapid whistle.
It turned out that it was Curry's breakthrough that caused Harrell to foul. But before being violated, Curry threw the basketball high and hit the board.
In other words, Curry got a 2+1 opportunity!
"It seems we have no choice, Dave." Link looked at Curry and clenched his fists.
Qiao Ge curled his lips, and Link's rest time was unexpectedly terminated.
Curry showed no mercy. He made a steady hit from the free throw line and scored three points.
This also means that the Warriors narrowed the point difference to 15 points in one breath!
Trailing by 15 points with 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the garbage time was completely broken by the magical performance of the Splash Brothers.
Jorge called a timeout, and at the same time Link stood up and took off his training clothes.
Seeing this, Warriors fans were excited and scared.
Excited because the game has suspense again.
But I was afraid because the monster wearing the dark blue No. 0 jersey showed his fangs again...
"Link decided to re-enter the game. This is definitely an unexpected situation for the Grizzlies. Everyone thought that the game had entered garbage time, but now Link had to come out to clean up the mess. Splash Brothers or Link, who can laugh? To the end? Let’s wait and see!”
Link was very calm after coming out and did not get confused because the opponent was close to the score.
Indeed, the point difference was recovered a lot by the Warriors. But a 15-point lead is not a small number, so there is no need to panic.
This is not the first time that Link has encountered the situation of "Buddha's light shining everywhere". That guy Thompson always does this from time to time.
However, not every time "Buddha's light shines", the Warriors are sure to win the game.
After the game restarted, the Grizzlies' lineup became Dinwiddie, Link, Richardson, Harris and Jokic.
The Grizzlies did not continue to use the twin towers because Gasol and Jokic had already played a lot of time in the first three quarters.
Joger thought the game could be resolved within three quarters, so he just let the two of them play for a while longer. I just didn't expect that something would go wrong now.
Joger strictly controls the playing time of big players. Gasol and Jokic, the two "European fortresses", are more likely to be injured than other players, so they need careful protection.
In fact, sometimes, these tough big players look more like petite women.
On the court, you need to let them get the ball occasionally, otherwise their enthusiasm for pick-and-rolls, quick plays, and rebounding will gradually dwindle.
They need love and a little coaxing every now and then. If you ignore them, they will be unhappy.
What were the problems Howard encountered in the past few years? It's him paired with two guards who don't know how to coax big men.
In addition to coaxing, big players also need to be carefully protected, just like you would protect your girlfriend.
If Chairman Yao had been protected back then, he would probably still be able to play games now.
The Twin Towers must stay healthy, after all, they are the Grizzlies' trump card against the Warriors and Cavaliers.
Therefore, the extra playing time in the first three quarters can only be subtracted from the fourth quarter.
Kerr was overjoyed to see that the Grizzlies did not continue to use a twin-tower lineup.
Of course, Harris is also a powerful striker. Although he is not a traditional inside line, his mobility and shooting range are very consistent with the requirements of the fourth position in this era.
However, Harris' appearance means that the Grizzlies' inside advantage is gone! Next, the Warriors can safely and boldly use Green to defend Link!
The happiness came so suddenly that Cole couldn't believe it.
Harris was handed over to McCaw. Now, McCaw didn't have to worry about being ravaged by a lump of pork belly.
Draymond Green eagerly stepped in front of Link, and he was as excited as if he had seen a black girl with a big butt.
"I've been waiting for you all this time, Link! I miss you so much, so I will take good care of you, bastard!" As soon as Green got close to Link, he immediately spit out the fragrance.
Durant also stood up and punched hard. Now the situation is simply too favorable for the Warriors!
Link didn't respond to Green. He just looked ahead intently, preparing to attack.
This offense is very important for the Grizzlies. In the past few minutes, except for Iguodala's free throw, the Grizzlies did not score.
In other words, from the beginning of the fourth quarter to now, the Grizzlies have not scored a successful sports game.
Link needs to break this scoring drought to truly suppress the Warriors' momentum and boost the Grizzlies' morale.
With the fans in the audience shouting "defense", Dinwiddie prepared to pull away and attack Curry.
However, as soon as Dinwiddie broke through, Thompson immediately shrank in and helped Curry defend.
Dinwiddie saw this and passed the ball to Richardson, but before Richardson could shoot, Thompson came back to him.
For Richardson, Thompson's defense, which almost makes no mistakes, is still very tricky.
After all, he doesn't have enough ability to beat Klay defensively.
Just when the basketball was about to stop, Link came around to pick up Richardson.
Just now, Link used a superb reverse run to get rid of Green by one body, which was just enough distance to catch the ball.
Richardson didn't hesitate. Link came up to score, and he handed the ball over steadily.
After catching the basketball, Link suddenly dropped his center of gravity to the left, as if he wanted to break through from the left.
Seeing Link's center of gravity sinking so low, Green had no choice but to move sideways.
But sure enough, this was just a fake move.
After tricking Green into moving sideways, Link nimbly changed hands behind his back, passing by Green as if he was playing on a street court.
"It's a pleasure to watch, and I bet if Link put on a wig and makeup, he'd be more Uncle Drew than Uncle Drew."
Link passed the Grimm easier than people thought. Facts have proved that even if Green does defend himself in front of Link, he can still get away.
After Link took two strides into the penalty area, JaVale McGee stepped up to defend and blocked Jokic's receiving route!
Link didn't know whether McGee's defense of cutting off the passing route was a coincidence or deliberate, but judging from the number of times McGee was embarrassed, Link believed it was a coincidence.
There is no way, even if you want to pass the ball, you have to pass it in the air!
So, Link jumped towards McGee. However, "Olajuki's" athletic ability is not comparable to Pachulia.
In the air, McGee was like a big net, completely covering Link.
Link still can't see Jokic, but if he goes directly like this, there is a high probability that McGee will give him a hot pot.
Although he is often ridiculed, McGee's ability to protect the frame is undoubtedly strong.
So, Link twisted his waist and abdomen in the air.
I saw him making a 360° turn in the air next to McGee, avoiding McGee's block in this incredible way!
After passing McGee in the air, Link raised the basketball and prepared for a layup.
Green smiled. He deliberately didn't take off just now because he was preparing for a mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him!
Just because you've passed McGee, doesn't mean you're necessarily safe!
Green took off after Link completed his mid-air turn and waved his unicorn arm at the basketball.
However, Link looked like he had eyes in the back of his head. He actually retrieved the basketball in the air and made a pull-up layup.
Green missed the shot. After Link switched the basketball to the other side, he flexibly picked it up with his wrist, and the basketball obediently climbed up the basket and fell into the net.
Durant, who originally got up to cheer for his teammates, was stunned.
Do you still need to pull the lever after turning 360° in the air?
Link is using his ability to stay in the air to do whatever he wants again!
"In! Link avoided the defense of McGee and Green. It's outrageous, it's outrageous! How many aerial moves does Link have that he hasn't shown us yet? This is unbelievable!"
"Link is simply a master of aerial acrobatics. I bet no one can replicate these moves of his in actual combat. It's so difficult, it's incredible even just thinking about it. "
Amidst the exclamations, Link landed deftly.
He didn't look at McGee and Green, who were about to drop their jaws behind him, but turned to look at Durant, who was stunned, and made a downward gesture.
"Sit down, Kevin. Of course, if you want to applaud me, that's my pleasure."
Durant's hands were hanging in the air, awkwardly unsure of where to put them.
He originally wanted to applaud the team's successful defense, but he didn't know that Link actually scored the ball in such an incredible way.
This ball is like putting on the brakes for the warriors approaching at high speed. Anyone who has driven a car knows that if you brake suddenly at high speed, it may turn over.
Now, it depends on whether the Splash Brothers can hold on and avoid overturning in the last few minutes.
Before the Buddha's light could fully shine, it was covered by a huge shadow.
