Seven Hundred and Fifty: Section 1 Set a Record

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks were detained by Link. This year's quasi-MVP, as soon as he came up, gave the Mavericks a dismay.

Carter, who was on the Mavericks bench, looked at Link's exaggerated dunk with envy in his eyes.

Back in the day, he could fly as freely in the sky as Link. It's a pity that time cruelly beat him.

But Carter didn't feel flustered. Link's dunk just now was really exciting, but it couldn't bluff everyone on the Mavericks.

Carter knew that his teammates were the most experienced and patient players. The next attack, the Mavericks will immediately tie the score!

José Calderon, the Spanish veteran who has played ten seasons in the NBA, started to run the offense. He's not a superstar, but he knows how to control the rhythm better than anyone.

Calderon paused from beyond the arc, waiting for his teammates to settle. The Mavericks' offense was a bit complicated, with various off-ball screenings and interspersed moves, which made Joger dazzled.

Carlisle deserves to be a master of tactics. God knows how many brain cells Carlisle has been killed by this ordinary attack.

In the end, Monta Ellis got rid of Iguodala and went to the three-point line, and received a timely pass from Calderon to get a fleeting shot.

Ellis took off and made a shot, and after attracting everyone's attention from the Grizzlies, he turned the shot into a pass in the air and passed the ball to Nowitzki, who was standing at the basket at this time!

Ellis' improvement this season has been obvious, mainly because he's really starting to play the right way.

In the past, Ellis must have thrown this kind of ball himself. But now, he is willing to give the ball to teammates with better chances.

Nowitzki directly turned over and made a jumper after receiving the basketball. The German's height of 2.13 meters and his extremely high shooting point made it difficult for his shot to be blocked.

What's more, it is still facing Randolph, who is a full 7 cm shorter than him!

Randolph didn't expect the basketball to be suddenly passed, so the reaction was actually a beat too slow.

Nowitzki shot comfortably and watched as the basketball passed Randolph's palm and was about to fall into the net.

Just as the Germans were about to throw their fists to celebrate, behind Randolph, the guy wearing the Grizzlies' No. 0 jersey suddenly jumped out. His speed was very fast, and he jumped after Randolph, but he easily surpassed Randolph's height.

In the end, before the basketball completely rose to the highest point, Link's arm was slapped like a whip!

"Crack!" The basketball was shot with a muffled sound and flew to the audience!

"Link blocked Dirk Nowitzki's shot, what kind of action is this? Is it blocked? It's unbelievable! Link just blocked the shot through Randolph. His soles are Spring?"

O'Neal covered his head exaggeratedly, which made Hubie Brown from another commentary stand couldn't help laughing.

After Nowitzki landed, his face turned pale! His shots are rarely blocked, which is one reason he can score so efficiently.

But just now, Link fanned the basketball out in such an exaggerated way. What terrifying power lies in that guy's legs! ?

"Focus, Zach!" After Link finished blocking, he patted Randolph's butt, and then continued back to Marion.

To him, the block just now seemed nothing unusual.

Everyone on the Mavericks was stunned. Nowitzki's must-go shot was forcibly slapped by Link. Before they knew it, the fear in their hearts began to spread rapidly.

Although the Mavericks still have the ball, they still have the opportunity to attack. But at this time, the momentum of the Mavericks is not as good as before.

This time, the Mavericks were attacked by Monta Ellis himself. After he passed Iguodala with a nice dribble, he was going to hit the rim.

Only under the blockage of the black and white bears, Ellis' pull-bar layup finally slipped out.

Monta Ellis is definitely a difficult layup king. When he breaks through the restricted area, he can always put the ball in with all kinds of seemingly incredible moves.

But not every one of these difficult layups can successfully score points.

The Mavericks missed two consecutive offenses, and the defending champion Grizzlies showed their No. 1 defense in the league. Gasol may not be the best defensive player this season, but that doesn't change the fact that he's still the best defensive player in the league.

Vince Carter is a little nervous off the field. The Mavericks are a team that is more offensive than defensive. It's not that the Mavericks don't pay attention to defense, but the defensive ability is really limited.

But now, the Mavericks are playing so hard on the offensive end they are best at. On the defensive end, how to deal with it?

Link quickly gave the answer, so the Mavericks couldn't deal with it at all.

Link was not polite this time. After he received a pass from beyond the three-point line, he immediately called Randolph to cover!

Seeing that it was Randolph who took cover, Rick Carlisle's heart was in his throat. That guy Link, shouldn't be so cruel!

Randolph's cover was quickly put in place, and Link didn't play those bells and whistles, and directly broke through to the side that had the cover back then!

Marion couldn't get around the huge Randolph for the first time, so Nowitzki had to switch up.

At this moment, Link suddenly stopped, and then Randolph hurried away. In an instant, Link got a chance to duel Nowitzki!

Nowitzki, who has become extremely slow, is undoubtedly the biggest loophole in the defense of the Mavericks!

"Link played Dirk in a dislocation, God, Dirk will be played crazy!" Kenny Smith shook his head, Link definitely wanted this dislocation on purpose. In the playoffs, there's no sympathy. How to kill the opponent in the most efficient way is the only thing a professional player needs to consider.

Link is far more cruel than Carlisle imagined!

Nowitzki knew that it would be difficult for him to guard Link, but he did not give up directly, and still opened his arms and stood in front of Link earnestly.

Link did not play Dirk Nowitzki, but used a frontal change of direction very efficiently, leaving the German behind like a wooden stake. This is already the greatest respect Link can give the Germans.

Nowitzki is now moving slowly, leaving him helpless. He is completely different from the one he was three years ago.

Link shot like a bullet into the heart of the Mavericks. Dalem Potter bravely attacked and blocked Link's layup.

But Link turned into a pass in the air and handed the ball to Gasol. Gasol took the ball and jumped in place for a dunk, allowing the Grizzlies to wreak havoc on the basket for the second consecutive round!

After Link helped Gasol score a goal, he didn't celebrate, didn't spray trash, but called everyone to retreat quickly! His attitude made Carlisle's heart aches.

Carlisle knows that the Mavericks are definitely not as good as the 74-win Grizzlies in terms of hard power. If they want to win the game, they have to create some "accidents".

For example, a player suddenly explodes. Another example is to seize the opportunity that the opponent takes lightly to attack.

But Link's state made these "accidents" all die in the womb. He didn't intend to give the Mavericks any chance, not even a chance for a round!

After the game, watching Cuban and the Mavericks fans are extremely painful. After five minutes in the first quarter, the Mavericks had only one goal in sports!

And what about the Grizzlies? They continued to put out high levels of output, as if they were eager to let the game go into garbage time in the first quarter.

When the game hit the last 30 seconds, everyone present couldn't believe their eyes!

Because the first quarter of the game is almost over, the Mavericks scored only 9 points, not yet in double digits!

"Unbelievable, what am I watching? A high school game? Because only a high school game can't score in double figures in a quarter!"

"The Grizzlies' defense was executed quite ruthlessly, and the Mavericks didn't get any preferential treatment because of the eighth place in the Western Conference!"

"The Grizzlies are almost 20 points ahead in a single quarter! It's a pity that Mark Cuban is not here, otherwise his expression must be more exciting than the game!"

Carter was standing on the court at this point, panting. He looked at the score, the big "9" was extremely dazzling.

A professional team, a professional team that just won the championship a few years ago, could not score double digits in a single game! Carter can guarantee that this is definitely the most humiliating game he has ever played in his career!

And what about Link? Sitting on the bench, his expression has softened a lot at this time. Now he can guarantee that the Grizzlies won't go the way of the Spurs. A tiebreaker in the first round? nonexistent. If possible, Link hopes that from the first round to the finals, there will be no tiebreaker.

In the end, with the help of a long-range buzzer-beating three-pointer from Devin Harris, the Mavericks finally broke the embarrassment of being unable to score in double figures in a single quarter.

However, the 12 points in a single quarter still allowed the Mavericks to tie for the lowest scoring record in a single quarter in team history. 31 to 12, the defending champion let the Mavericks set a record just after the first quarter.

But this record, certainly no one wants.

Mark Cuban slapped himself on the forehead, and he regretted it because he had completely messed with the wrong person this time.
