Chapter 883: God Cannot Lie (2/5)

Grab the board, break through, dunk.

Link's one-stop dunks at the start of overtime instantly changed the atmosphere.

At first, there was joy in the ATT Center, and everyone was waiting for five minutes to celebrate the victory.

But now, although they are not desperate, everyone is caught in doubt and nervousness.

Indeed, it was just one goal, just 2 points, nothing special.

But Link's performance in overtime was very different from what people expected.

In everyone's expectation, the exhausted Link should be completely restrained by Leonard, and then lose the game amidst the sound of iron.

But I never expected that Link would display the domineering spirit of Return of the King as soon as he started.

The fans in the audience were stunned for probably a second or two before they cheered again to encourage the Spurs.

It was just a dunk, and it was impossible for Link to dunk so easily every time.

The fans were soon full of confidence again, but on the court, something was quietly changing.

Danny Green couldn't help but swallow when he saw Link hammering the floor hard.

He didn't want to be targeted by Link. People who were targeted by Link on the defensive end never ended well.

Green found himself getting more and more nervous. Now let alone shooting, he didn't even have the confidence to connect the ball!

He was afraid that if he was intercepted by Link, it would be a major mistake!

But Green obviously underestimated Link, because only after the actual duel with Link began did he realize that he couldn't hold the ball at all, because he couldn't even catch the ball!

Green reversed and cut towards the basket, trying to pass through the crowded penalty area and run to the other corner to get rid of the defender.

When Green got into position in the right corner and turned around to catch the ball, he found that Link had raised his arms to block all passing routes.

The crowded crowd in the penalty area did not seem to be an obstacle to Link.

Green immediately changed his plan and took advantage of Duncan's off-ball screen to create a gap.

But after he ran to the tactically scheduled receiving point, he looked back and saw that Link was still blocking the passing route!

Green suddenly felt like he was hopeless. Link's defense always gave people no hope.

Green couldn't get a chance from this magical shooting spot, so Parker had no choice but to pass the ball to Duncan and let him finish the offense in the low post.

Duncan catches the ball, turns over, and makes a jump shot, all in one go.

But the basketball finally hit the front of the basket!

Duncan's efficiency has been very low since the second half today. Unexpectedly, in overtime, Duncan still failed to regain his form.

But in Link's view, Duncan was not just out of form for this offense, but he couldn't get back into form throughout the game.

If the basketball hits the front edge of the basketball, it means that the shooter uses too little strength.

Even if NBA-level players hit the iron, it is difficult to hit the front edge of the basket.

This can only mean one thing - the old Deng Tou is more exhausted than the Grizzlies fighting back-to-back!

The reduced efficiency in the second half and overtime shows that Duncan struggled in the second half and overtime.

From the beginning of the second half, Duncan's physical fitness has been problematic.

The price for letting Duncan play the fifth position is that the "Stone Buddha" must endure greater consumption.

Taking turns fighting with Gasol and Whiteside is not something a nearly 40-year-old veteran can bear.

What's more, because of the anxious score today, Popovich rarely let Duncan play for a while.

If Duncan had played overtime, his playing time today would have been close to 40 minutes!

Under normal circumstances, Duncan's playing time will not exceed 30 minutes.

10 minutes is equivalent to playing an extra quarter of the game.

Popovich gritted his teeth, and of course he saw this.

I thought that the tired Grizzlies would be defeated in overtime, but I didn't know that it was the Spurs themselves who were the first to have physical problems.

Duncan missed the shot and Tobias Harris tried his best to protect the rebound.

The Spurs' offense completely failed.

This indicates that the Grizzlies have an opportunity to further open the score!

"Stop him, stop him, don't let him shoot easily!" Popovich yelled impatiently from the sidelines. Leonard, who was expressionless, started to block Link near the midfield line.

Link frowned and said nothing.

He slowly approached the three-point line, trying to separate Leonard with one hand, and raised the other hand to ask for the ball.

Link's power has not weakened at all compared to regular time, and Leonard cannot take advantage at all.

Seeing that there was really no chance outside the three-point line, Link sank into the mid-range and used his back to gain position!

Leonard and Link competed fiercely for position, but Link did not give in and finally succeeded in catching the basketball with his back.

Leonard immediately became nervous. Link's back attack was the most threatening!

No, face-to-face offense is also very threatening, and shooting without the ball is also very deadly... Link is full of magic weapons to kill the game!

Link didn't intend to turn around and shoot, because his shooting touch was indeed stuck in a weird circle today.

Let alone Link, even a marksman like Curry will occasionally fail to make a shot in a few games a season.

The moment Link caught the ball, he turned his back and broke through!

Leonard didn't expect Link to break through so decisively. He blocked it roughly, trying to isolate Link from the penalty area.

But Link was very competitive. Instead of stopping suddenly or changing direction, he forced Leonard to go in!

This was the first time Leonard had seen such a stubborn Link.

In the end, Link relied on his super confrontation ability to get to the basket. Once again, he had to face two "facial paralysis" blocks from the Spurs at the same time.

In the air, Leonard grabbed Link's arm, and Duncan blocked Link's shooting angle.

But under such extreme circumstances, Link forced the ball to the board, allowing the basketball to accurately reflect into the net!

At the moment the goal was scored, the referee could not sit idly by and ignore such an obvious foul.

The piercing whistle pierced the court, and Link got the chance to hit a three-pointer!

"Come on!" After scoring the goal, Link thumped his chest and shouted. In an instant, he changed from the elegant Grant Hill to the rough LeBron James.

But what makes people feel terrible is that Link can switch freely between these two great small forwards...

He has two different playing styles at the same time!

Leonard curled his lips. He had committed such a rough foul just to prevent Link from scoring directly.

Unexpectedly, Link could still hit the target under such circumstances...

Link's paranoid plan to hit the basket worked. If he couldn't shoot, he would forcefully break through the opponent's defense.

Standing behind the free throw line, Link took a few deep breaths, and then, under the weak interference of Spurs fans, made a steady free throw.

Although Link missed his shots in the sports battle today, he still maintained his usual level of free throws.

After scoring 5 points in a row, Link forced the Spurs to retreat continuously!

In the subsequent attack, Danny Green finally took his first shot in overtime.

In the second half that just passed, every time there was a crisis like this, Green would use a three-pointer to bring the Spurs back to life immediately.

But under Link's strict blockade, Green could no longer continue his magic.

Green is now like Link's prey. Once he is targeted by a hungry wolf, it will be difficult to get rid of him.

Moreover, Link never showed mercy to the guy named Green.

Link almost blocked the basketball, and Danny Green had to forcefully adjust the shooting arc. If you don't do that, you won't even have a chance to try your luck.

Unfortunately, this luck is not available to everyone. Green's shot hit the side of the basket, and the "elixir" instantly turned into a "iron forest".

"The Spurs failed three consecutive offenses. Greg should stop the game and make some adjustments!" The on-site commentators were anxious. If at the beginning when Link dunked, they could still console themselves by saying that the gap was only 2 points.

But now, the sense of crisis has undoubtedly reached the top of our heads.

Leonard is extremely nervous now. He knows that if Link is allowed to score again, the situation will be very dangerous.

Although he had expected that something like this might happen, he didn't know what to do after Link broke out.

At this moment, Link received Conley's pass and suddenly stopped one step beyond the three-point line, as if he was about to shoot!

Leonard has seen the power of Link's ultra-long-range three-pointers. Once Link's offense is high, he can achieve truly unlimited range!

Leonard immediately blocked it and never gave Link any chance to easily shoot!

Although Link is determined to drive to the basket, he is still quite threatening from beyond the three-point line. After all, his previous performance is there.

Even LeBron James doesn't have this advantage.

Link felt extremely happy when he saw Leonard jumping up to block the ball without reservation.

The Spurs' defense is finished again!

"Leonard took off in time, he...wait a minute, Link broke through, and he passed by Leonard after jumping! That was not a shot, but a realistic fake move to worship Buddha. ! Link was very fast. After swaying Leonard, he hit the penalty area like a missile. Tim Duncan rushed back to block it immediately."

Under Duncan's rough blockage, Link fell off the baseline. Lao Dengtou really worked hard today and showed no mercy when committing fouls.

The basketball thrown by Link bounced on the basket once, twice.

In the end, he still fell into the net obediently!

"The ball went in, another 2+1! If Link had made the extra free throw, the Spurs would have been 8 points behind! What happened? Who can tell me what happened to Link!?"

Seeing Link scoring again, the on-site commentators were so panicked that they were incoherent.

Bill Simmons behind the TV was also so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. Link, that bastard, came as soon as he said it!

At this time, Simmons remembered what Jordan said about Link at noon.

The God of Basketball, you really don’t deceive me...
