Three Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Will the Robot Be Angry?

The Grizzlies were not led by the nose today. To be precise, Link was not led by Leonard.

From the very beginning, he wanted to take the initiative. Just like the Link in Popovich's mind, his going to sleep on the bus means nothing. That guy is a fighter, and he will never stop until he dies or is crushed by someone else!

Popovich knows Link too well, and he knows this Grizzlies too well. The scene of being eliminated last season is still vivid. Even last year's champion, the Mavericks, spent a lot of energy in the Western Conference Finals to get the Grizzlies.

They are Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, give up? Popovich suspects the word isn't even in Link's or the rest of the Grizzlies' vocabulary.

Unfortunately, the Spurs fell behind 5-0. Fortunately, the Spurs were only 5-0 behind.

Popovich continued to command the game from the sidelines, and he didn't intend to let the players relax for a second.

This time Duncan made a pivot in the middle distance, trying to organize the team's offense, and by the way, moved Gasol out of the penalty area.

Parker used his skillful cut to the basket, received a pass from Duncan's "conning tower", and scored an easy layup.

This is the Spurs' offense, going it alone is not their style. Everyone is executing strictly according to tactics, which also makes their offense super efficient.

Parker's goal can be regarded as stabilizing the Spurs' morale, at least they will not be beaten to a 7-0 start. But after Parker scored, Link pulled Conley into a whisper.

Hollins noticed Link's behavior, what the hell is that guy Link planning? This is just a very ordinary goal for the Spurs, and neither Parker nor Duncan is Link's defensive target.

Even so, does Link have countermeasures?

Leonard didn't care so much, he quickly retreated to his own half, and found that Link was completely two people compared to before the game.

During the warm-up, Link kept nagging like a psycho. But now, Link is extremely focused and looks like a serious person...

Leonard doesn't know which Link is his true self, but he'll try to stop that guy, just like he did in the last game.

This time, Link didn't play off the ball, but took possession of the ball from Conley as soon as halftime passed. He wanted to fight Leonard with the ball!

Leonard hurriedly opened his big hand to cover Link's eyes, but Link didn't panic at all, but waved his hand to signal everyone to pull away.

Then, he leaned his back against Leonard's chest!

"Is Link going to fight Leonard with his back!?" Cole yelled. If Link really does this, it will be a showdown like sparks hitting the earth!

Leonard did not rush to take the ball, but puffed out his chest to prevent Link from advancing. Seeing the premise of Leonard's center of gravity, Link immediately turned his back and broke through!

Although Link's back-turning footsteps were very beautiful, Leonard still posted it immediately, and Link's back-turning breakthrough did not throw Leonard away.

Popovich applauded Leonard triumphantly. It was useless for Link to deal with Leonard in such a simple and rude way!

Link suddenly slowed down halfway through the dash, then straightened up, looking as if he was about to stop for a jump shot!

Leonard immediately rushed forward, raising his hand to block Link's shot.

Unexpectedly, Link lowered his center of gravity again, accelerated a step, and passed by Leonard who had jumped up to block him! This can be regarded as a false act of praying to Buddha, and Leonard was stunned!

Leonard's reaction is very sensitive, but sometimes, being too sensitive is not good. After Link broke through, he easily shot a jumper. His small details on the offensive end made Leonard hard to guard against!

"Link made another mid-range shot. This was a textbook one-on-one attempt. Today, he scored two goals in a row over Leonard! Let's watch the slow-motion replay, God, Link just stopped thinking The shooting posture is indeed too realistic. Not to mention Leonard, even the most experienced defenders may not be able to see through it!"

Cole had to praise Link's offensive skills,

Who knows how this original 3D player became so comprehensive. If you don't pay attention, you might think that it was just an ordinary back turn and pull-up jumper. But the details in it reflect Link's good basic attack.

This free acceleration and deceleration and perfect rhythm are not something that everyone can play.

"Hey, Kawhi, it's 7-2. I didn't compete with you during the warm-up. Now, let's start!" After scoring the goal, Link continued to stimulate Leonard with words.

Leonard doesn't respond to most trash talk and provocations, but Link has proven that Leonard can get annoyed, too.

So from now on, Link will keep spitting at Leonard until he gets annoyed! And disturbing the opponent's emotions will only be beneficial and harmless.

7 to 2, the Spurs are still very passive. Conley focused, he stared at Tony Parker, and then his mind was full of what Link had just said to him.

"Force him to pass the low ball!"

Parker was as active as ever, setting a screen with Duncan and driving quickly to the rim. Because Duncan mentioned the high position, Gasol had to leave the penalty area. Therefore, the Grizzlies' penalty area defense is bound to have help defense.

And if there is a defense, there must be a gap. This is the strategy of the Spurs!

Of course, the Grizzlies can also choose not to help, and let Conley, who was delayed by the screen, go after Parker himself. But how many points will be lost by doing so is unknown.

To put it bluntly, Popovich is putting the Grizzlies in a dilemma.

After Parker entered the penalty area, he found that the Grizzlies were still helping to defend. Moreover, Link also came over to help defend.

"Little Sports Car" did not hesitate, he spotted Leonard who was waiting outside the three-point line. He was shot 3-for-3 in the last game, and he dared to let Leonard go today. Parker thinks Link is really crazy!

Just when Parker was about to pass the ball, Conley jumped out from the side and blocked Parker's passing route.

But this is not a problem for Parker. The Frenchman has been the Spurs' master for so many years, and this difficulty is simply child's play.

Parker turned his wrist, turned into a ground pass, and still sent the ball to Leonard!

But Parker found that Link turned around to chase Leonard the moment he passed the ball. Could it be that this is a fake defense? Link's purpose is not to lure himself to pass the ball!

The experienced Parker realized that something was wrong, but it was a done deal, and it was impossible for him to get the basketball back.

Leonard received the basketball, the ball was passed a little low, and he didn't feel comfortable catching it. But this is indeed an opportunity, Leonard still made a decisive shot!

The moment Leonard threw the ball, Link blocked the basket again. Under the double blow of poor catch and bad aim, Leonard hit the iron again with his second three-pointer!

"Still missed! Leonard got two chances to shoot from outside the three-point line today, but he failed to grasp them. It seems that he didn't maintain the touch of the last game today."

"Damn, what's going on!?" Popovich cursed in his heart. When Leonard trained yesterday and today, he still felt hot.

Why are there two opportunities in a row at this moment, and they are both ridiculously crooked.

"You didn't make it again, I'm already far ahead, Kaiva!" After the defense was completed, Link passed by Leonard, and he didn't forget to wink at him.

Link found through the video that Leonard's shooting after receiving the low ball seemed not particularly stable, and during the warm-up before the game, Link also proved his conjecture. Therefore, he will let Conley force Parker to pass the low ball.

Under the double interference of having to catch the low ball and being blocked at the basket, it is no wonder that Leonard, who is not so superb in three-pointers, can make a shot.

Offensively, use double fakes to trick an overreacting Leonard. On the defensive end, Link started with the details, making Leonard uncomfortable.

The combination of these two points made Leonard, who was so beautiful in the last game, become extremely embarrassed!

After Leonard hit the iron, the Grizzlies counterattacked quickly. After Gasol got the rebound, he made a long pass to Link. Link hit the ground again and assisted Tony Allen, who came in from the middle, for an easy layup. Danny Green's defense is good, but he is not a particularly athletic player. It's better not to embarrass Danny Green about things like chasing after him.

9 to 2, the San Antonio Spurs were stopped!

Leonard waved his hand angrily, frowned, and walked off the court.

Many people don't care about the actions he makes casually, but Popovich cares very much.

Because under normal circumstances, Leonard would not show his emotions on the court!

Link, that guy actually made a "robot" angry.

The big villain's bad moves are indeed many!
