One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty: Forced to Listen to Trash Talk
Antetokounmpo's self-confidence is gradually being eaten away.
Link in this game is more terrifying than ever before.
In the first two games, although the Bucks had a difficult time, Antetokounmpo did not have so many one-on-ones with Link. He was more distressed by the Grizzlies' double-teaming.
Therefore, the Greeks did not feel that they were dominated.
But today, this feeling has become more and more serious.
I don’t know why, but Antetokounmpo remembered Paul George’s previous advice...
At that time, Antetokounmpo was very dismissive of George's advice. He thinks that if George can't handle Link, that's just because he's not strong enough.
But now, Antetokounmpo seems to understand Paul George. He finally knew what Paul George went through in the Western Conference Finals.
Link's sense of oppression that he is always one step ahead of you is indeed very uncomfortable.
Every time you faced him with the ball, you were nervous. Every time he faced you with the ball, you were terrified.
At the beginning, Antetokounmpo was still fighting against Link with high spirits. But when the score gradually widened and the scoring gap between the two gradually widened, Antetokounmpo's confidence began to gradually decrease.
The Greek looked up at the big screen. At this time, the game had reached the final moments of the third quarter. The Bucks are 10 points behind the Grizzlies, a double-digit gap.
The Bucks' top priority is to reduce the point difference to single digits before the fourth quarter.
Just now, Antetokounmpo obviously had a chance to narrow the point difference to single digits. But his close-range jump shot under Link's interference was another hit.
Antetokounmpo's performance today was actually very good. Before the third quarter was over, he had already scored 22 points.
But Antetokounmpo's scoring was not smooth at all. He almost did not score continuously. Link's defense made every goal he scored extremely difficult.
Although he kept scoring, Antetokounmpo was very frustrated.
Although he kept scoring, he just couldn't lead the team to the lead.
Link is like a roly-poly;
No matter how hard you hit him, he will always stand up immediately like nothing happened until you are exhausted.
By the way, this is a roly-poly who can fight back.
At first, Antetokounmpo was still thinking, "I must knock you down."
But over time it became, “Why can’t he still be knocked down?”
Why, there is such a person in this world who cannot lose...
Before Antetokounmpo could recover from his miss, Link had already reached him with the ball.
"Stop struggling, Yiannis."
Link stared into Antetokounmpo's eyes and he finally spoke!
Link knew that now, it was time to start messing with this guy's mentality.
"Are you kidding? It's you who are struggling." Although Antetokounmpo was panicking inside, he did not lose his momentum.
"Hahahaha, you are one of the worst trash talkers I have ever seen. In the last round of the game, didn't Embiid tell you how to trash talk? Oh, I'm sorry, his trash talk was the first That's bad." After saying that, Link took advantage of Jokic's cover and walked to the right side of the court, preparing to break through.
Link has a strong desire to score today and has scored 32 points so far.
A full 10 points more than Antetokounmpo.
Therefore, you can also understand that the Grizzlies are now 10 points ahead, all because of Link.
Link really fought like crazy today. The more fiercely the stag resisted, the more excited Link became.
He wants to bring joy to all the Grizzlies fans who come from afar, and he wants to leave a great figure, an undefeated figure!
Antetokounmpo took a step and moved sideways to block Link, but at this moment, Link passed the ball to Jokic who bounced outside the three-point line after the screen.
At this time, Lopez is two steps away from Jokic. His original task was to help defend Link who broke through the penalty area.
Seeing Jokic receiving the ball, Lopez had to stick to it.
Jokic also raised the ball above his head for the first time, as if he was really going to shoot.
However, the moment Jokic raised the ball, when everyone's attention was focused on Jokic, Link suddenly cut in, catching "Antetokounmpo" off guard.
Jokic, who lifted the basketball, also passed the ball. Due to his height, he was able to pass the ball over Antetokounmpo's head and just fell into Link's hands.
If Conley was blocked by Antetokounmpo, he wouldn't be able to see where Link was.
But these problems are not a problem for Jokic.
After receiving the basketball, Link didn't even need to move. He took two long steps and walked to the basket.
Antetokounmpo quickened his pace. He wanted to see what Link could do this time.
Link did not take off to attack the frame, because he knew that there was a beast behind him staring at him eagerly.
So after walking to the basket, Link turned around and did an independent step back.
"It must have been intentional! Damn it!" Antetokounmpo was angry. He thought that Link didn't go for a layup and deliberately shot a close jumper to mock his miss just now.
However, Antetokounmpo really went too far. Link chose to suddenly turn around and shoot in order to avoid his block...
I saw Antetokounmpo trying his best to reach the basketball thrown by Link, as if he was testing his height.
The arc of Link's ball was very high, so high that it was abnormally high.
But in order to avoid the block, he had to turn up the arc.
The arc of the shot from close range is so high that it is almost impossible to hit.
Antetokounmpo is already ready to fight for rebounds.
Let you humiliate me now...
"brush!"
"Eh?" Antetokounmpo looked at the floating net and froze on the spot.
This shot with an abnormally high arc actually hit the net! ?
Normal shots are arcs, but the flight trajectory of Link's shot is almost triangular!
After the basketball passed Antetokounmpo's fingertips, it fell directly. This goal actually scored?
It’s so weird!
Link scored again, he already scored 34 points. The point difference between the two sides also reached 12 points.
Bucks are pretty dangerous right now.
Although the arc of the ball was indeed abnormal, with Link's touch, it was not difficult to score the ball while adjusting the arc.
This kind of ball may be incredible to Antetokounmpo, but to Link it is just a routine operation.
There is no way, the shooting feel of the two is really very different.
"Don't resist needlessly. You don't have to play in the fourth quarter, Giannis." After the goal, Link continued his trash talk offensive.
This made Antetokounmpo think that Link was deliberately humiliating himself.
Link could feel that Antetokounmpo was about to go berserk.
Next, we have to keep up our efforts. As long as Antetokounmpo is defeated, the Grizzlies will be sure of the match point!
Antetokounmpo was really anxious. In a subsequent attack, he actually chose a pull-up jumper from the mid-range!
To be honest, Link really didn't react this time because he didn't expect Antetokounmpo to use a pull-up jump shot to attack.
Link's interference was delayed for most of the beat, and he didn't do a good job defending Link this time.
But unfortunately, Antetokounmpo's shot was too hip-reaching. You don’t understand how to shoot at close range, so you start to make emergency stops at mid-range?
"Bang!"
For the first time, Link felt that the sound of blacksmithing was so beautiful. He jumped up excitedly, put the backboard in his bag, and slapped it hard with a "bang" sound.
It's great to snatch the ball that Antetokounmpo can't make!
"Calm down and observe your teammates more!" At this time, Budenholzer couldn't sit still.
If Antetokounmpo continues to act like this, the game will be ruined for him.
Today, the Bucks' three-point shooting was very good. In fact, three-pointers were the key to the Bucks' ability to hold on to the score today.
Today, the Bucks were truly stable and consistent from beyond the three-point line.
Middleton's touch has been contagious to everyone, and Antetokounmpo's breakthrough goal went smoothly. Even if the Grizzlies were already using one-on-one defense, they still couldn't stop the Bucks' three-point firepower.
If it were just relying on Antetokounmpo's 22 points, the game would have already entered garbage time.
But now, none of the Bucks' shooters can catch the ball. Antetokounmpo has to play singles with Link when he gets the ball, and the result is that the point difference is getting wider and wider.
After being yelled at, Antetokounmpo knew he had to calm down again.
There was only one last attack left in the third quarter, and he couldn't let Link open the score again!
But how could Link, who had already entered scoring mode, be so easily defended?
Link's madness will not stop until the end of the game, no, until he retires.
On the last possession of the third quarter, Link faced Antetokounmpo and signaled everyone to pull away.
The Bucks have caused enough trouble for the Grizzlies today, and Link doesn't want to continue to tangle with them like this.
As the 24 seconds of attack time decreased little by little, Link also moved closer to Antetokounmpo.
One step, two steps, left, right.
Every time Link moved, Antetokounmpo's heartbeat would experience a rapid acceleration.
In the last 5 seconds, Link dribbled the ball continuously in front of Antetokounmpo, and then suddenly went left!
But just when Antetokounmpo began to move laterally, Link suddenly retreated and retreated to outside the three-point line.
Link finally chose to step back and hit a three-pointer.
Antetokounmpo was not shaken off by the blow just now, so he interfered almost immediately, raising his arms high to cover Link's eyes.
This is a great defense!
Under the severe interference of Antetokounmpo, Link's shot looked very reluctant, and he seemed to just throw the ball to the frame casually.
Antetokounmpo turned around. This time, it was impossible...
"brush!"
Antetokounmpo:? ? ?
All serious interference is coming in, let’s stop cheating! ?
Link just shot a little faster, but that doesn't mean he threw it randomly.
Just like Curry, his shots look casual at first glance, but that's just the visual effect caused by taking them too fast. Curry, who seems casual, is the player with the greatest three-point threat in the league.
Link hit a three-pointer at the buzzer and scored his 37th point of the game. And, we will enter the fourth quarter decisive battle with a 15-point advantage!
"This..." Antetokounmpo completely collapsed, and Paul George was beaten into submission. It was not without reason.
"In, a serious interference with Biao's three-pointer. After the third quarter, Link has already scored 37 points. Can we look forward to him scoring another 50 points today? Come on, Link, Of course, the Bucks also have to work hard. If the game completely enters garbage time, 50 points will be useless."
Mike Breen wiped his sweat, Link's scoring performance today was simply impeccable.
Link hoped not to let the fans go in vain, and he indeed gave the fans a crazy performance.
After the goal, Link wanted to continue to torture "Antetokounmpo" with trash talk.
But unexpectedly, the Greek turned around and walked towards the bench the moment the game ended.
This...it's impossible to catch up and spray others.
Then Link had an idea and shouted at the top of his voice to his teammates.
"Don't worry, everyone, you see, they are almost suffocating with nervousness! The fourth quarter game must be ours!"
Link spoke loudly, making sure Antetokounmpo could hear. On the surface, he was talking to his teammates, but in fact, he was talking to Antetokounmpo.
It's not that easy to escape from Link's clutches.
Antetokounmpo felt like his heart had been hit hard. Damn... he was forced to listen to trash talk! Link is so cruel!
Also, how did Link know that I was nervous?
Am I exposed? Can Link read micro-expressions? Or did I just act too frustrated?
"Brain monster" Antetokounmpo started to scare himself again...
The Greeks have basically been knocked out of their minds by Link.
After shouting, Link looked up at the score.
A 15-point difference, to be honest, is not safe.
Especially when the Bucks shot three-pointers very accurately today.
If that's the case, then go crazy.
Sorry Michael, I really didn’t mean to break your great record.
but......
Well, I just wanted to find an excuse to break the record.
The ninth 50-point game in the playoffs, arranged!
