Two Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Exciting Ways to Celebrate
Jeremy Lin sat on the bench out of breath. In the first quarter, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead the Grizzlies by 4 points. What a sight. But only Jeremy Lin knew how tired and frustrated he was in the first quarter.
The 12 points in a single quarter were completely forced out because he couldn't find a passer! The Grizzlies blocked the entire passing route, and Jeremy Lin could only bite the bullet and even go head-to-head with the fierce black and white bears, just to win two free throws when there was no way out.
In the first quarter, he could draw fouls and score some difficult goals. But what about the next game? Can you play so well every quarter? Jeremy Lin didn't know what to do.
So, when he heard the loud noise of the buzzer, he was quite nervous. The beginning was too high-profile, and then I don't know how to end it.
After Link came on the court, he jumped on the spot a few times. Just ended the first quarter, after Randolph came off, the team's offense suddenly misfired. Guy is still a wave today, and he failed to carry the banner of attack.
So now, it's up to you to take over the attack.
Although Jeremy Lin knew that his performance in the first quarter was forced out. But the commentators didn't know, they thought today would be the night of Jeremy Lin's scoring explosion.
"At Staples, Jeremy Lin almost scored 40 points. So, don't question his explosiveness, this guy may really hit a high score today. 12 points in a quarter, maybe just the beginning "Kenny Smith is still looking forward to Jeremy Lin's more explosive performance on the commentary stage, as are most fans.
But the initiative of the game has quietly changed the owner. Psychologically, Jeremy Lin is not dominant.
In the second quarter, the first team became the Grizzlies. Link was very aggressive this time around, setting an off-ball screen for Conley just after halftime.
Conley made a breakthrough through a screen, but within two seconds of walking out, he passed the ball back to Link. Because of the cover, Bill Walker went after Conley, so now it's Jeremy Lin who is standing in front of Link!
"Come on! The first confrontation between the two today!" Everyone was excited, and today's highlight finally appeared!
Without hesitation, Link held the ball behind his back and chiseled Jeremy Lin hard! Jeremy Lin is 1.91 meters tall, and Link is 2.03 meters tall. If you don't compete with him for height and weight, is it possible to compete with him for speed?
This is the NBA, any weakness of yours, the opponent will not let go.
The rest of the Knicks have not dared to help defend for the time being.
After all, Link's passing ability is well known. As long as there is a gap, he can send the ball over.
So, Link pushed all the way to the back of the free throw line with his back, and then calmly turned over and shot a jumper!
I've watched Link's defense a lot these days. Suddenly, seeing his long-lost rollover jumper, the Grizzlies fans raised their arms in excitement.
Link did not let them down. The next second, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the fans with arms raised were able to shout!
Low-key is low-key, but now Link is an offensive kaleidoscope. In addition to the things that can't be done by relying on physical fitness, other things can be done.
"Link's score was too easy. This dislocation didn't put any pressure on Link at all. Link's 6th personal score today. Is this the beginning of his challenge to Jeremy Lin?"
Jeremy Lin felt the pressure. Obviously, the Grizzlies have begun to deliberately find themselves on the offensive end. The purpose of this is to consume him as much as possible.
When a player consumes too much physical strength and energy on the defensive end, his offense will naturally suffer as well.
Jeremy Lin continued to push the ball forward, and he really encountered a tough stubble today. A single quarter of 12 points is just a beautiful illusion in the abyss.
This time, Jeremy Lin chose to open the gap by passing the ball. But after the basketball was hit in Stoudemire's hands, the guy didn't know which tendon to shoot for him.
Since returning from the funeral, Stoudemire's crosshairs seem to have been forgotten on the plane, and the hit rate in the recent two games is very urgent.
This time, in the face of Randolph's interference in the mid-range shot, Stoudemire strikes again. It seems that Stoudemire will not be at ease with Jeremy Lin. He came to New York for money and status.
He wanted to be the king of New York, a popular rock star. Therefore, Stoudemire will not be willing to be a blue-collar worker every time.
It's a pity that his shooting, in the end, only added a rebounding data to Randolph.
"The Grizzlies have a chance to tie the game, Stoudemire's shot selection is too confusing. Jeremy Lim was eager to organize an offense, but Stoudemire ruined it all." Kenny Smith shakes Shaking his head, if Anthony returns from injury, the Knicks' offense may become more chaotic.
Link walked unhurriedly from beyond the arc, looking just like he did in the first quarter.
But just when Bill Walker let down his guard, Link suddenly cut in, making Walker hurriedly move his riddled knees.
Walker just followed in Link's footsteps, but Link turned 90° without warning, and cut from the bottom line to the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
Walker's reaction was a beat late, and when he caught up, he happened to run into Gasol Jr.'s off-ball screen. This time, Link was completely empty.
Seeing that Link was vacant, all the players on the Grizzlies bench raised their arms in advance. Training with Link every day, they know better than anyone how high that guy's open shot rate is!
Link came out, and Conley delivered the ball at the right time. For the rest, hold your breath.
Walker threw himself out, but when he jumped to block, the basketball was already in the air.
After Link shot, he still raised the shooting hand. Before the basketball was in the frame, Link turned around and released three fingers!
"What is Link doing!? Are you celebrating a goal in advance!?"
Before Kenny Smith finished speaking, the basketball went into the net hollow! Link scored 5 points in a row, and the Grizzlies overtook the score in just two rounds!
At that moment, the entire FedEx Arena was boiling! Just now, the fans and the players on the bench celebrated the goal in advance, and now, Link is here too.
This kind of thing, only a madman like Arenas has done it before! Unexpectedly, this scene can be reproduced in the FedEx Arena!
The moment he heard the cheers after turning around, Link let out a sigh of relief! He turned around early when he saw that the basketball's flight path was very straight.
Don't look handsome on the surface, but in fact Link was panicking! It would be embarrassing if the last ball didn't go in.
In the future, Nick Young and Kemba Walker celebrated the embarrassment of the goal in advance and the goal was missed, but Link did not want to experience it. But fortunately, the cheers represent the ball has been scored, now you can feel at ease!
This way of celebrating is really exciting!
"He is so confident, Link has really completed his transformation this season! He is becoming more and more like a star, whether in terms of strength or temperament, he is more and more like a star player who is not easy to mess with! Celebrating the goal in advance? I Dare to say, there are not many people in the league who dare to play like this. After all, it is very humiliating to play it wrong."
Link's two consecutive goals greatly improved the morale of the Grizzlies. Correspondingly, Jeremy Lin is now under enormous pressure. He was afraid that he would not be able to continue the score, and he was afraid that he would be suppressed by Link.
Afterwards, Jeremy Lin continued to try to layup himself. But this time, Gasol didn't bump into it roughly, but covered Jeremy Lin's basketball.
The change in strategy was effective. In the end, Jeremy Lin made a layup and he didn't get a foul. The Knicks offense was like a shooting star, bright as it streaked across the sky, but only in a flash.
"The Knicks still didn't score, they were a little weak in the follow-up. The Grizzlies didn't stop their footsteps, they continued to attack!"
This time, Pau Gasol held the ball with his back in the middle distance. Everyone thought that he was going to try to single out the "boxing champion" Tyson.
However, Gasol did this just to lead the boxing champion out of the penalty area.
After the Knicks penalty area was emptied, Link waited for an opportunity to cut to the basket, and Gasol Jr. tacitly threw the ball in. Link jumped directly to catch the basketball in the air, faced Stoudemire's block, used a beautiful lever to avoid the block, and scored easily.
"The tie-bar layup after the alley is very difficult, but Link still makes the ball perfectly. Gasol showed a side that is different from other centers, and his coping ability is really excellent. . This ability, you can't find it in Bynum or DeAndre Jordan. That's why he can be a member of the Western Conference star team."
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies scored 7 points in a row, and Link's personal score also exploded to the 11th point. Only 1 point away from Jeremy Lin, who scored 12 points in a single quarter! It is only a matter of time before he is suppressed.
D'Antoni quickly suspended the game. He could see that Link was trying to take control of the game from Jeremy Lin! He wants to compete with Jeremy Lin to score points!
Will Linsanity, who has not been suppressed by Kobe, really dissipate in Memphis? D'Antoni dared not take the risk, he had to let the storm he created continue to rage.
