Ninety-One: Who Should I Use? (Three/Forty)

Link's steals wiped out the Hornets' victory, and I believe he has now become the No. 1 public enemy at the entire Smoothie King Center.

Although Paul did not complete the shot just now, but in the absence of defense, Paul believes that he can solve the problem today. However, all of this was destroyed by that 0.

Link walked off the court, and more than 10,000 fans in the audience collectively booed. These voices were all aimed at Link, but Link felt extremely honored. After all, the more boos you get on the road, the more trouble you cause your initiative.

Link is happy to stop Paul from scoring, and he's happy to break the Hornets fans' dream of winning, it's his job.

Hollins didn't expect this game to end like this. When he was arranging defensive strategies, he didn't expect that Link would end up stealing. If it weren't for Link, God knows if he still has a chance to set up an overtime strategy here.

"Thanks to you, nice job." After Link left the field, Hollins patted him on the shoulder solemnly. At this moment, it was as if Link was the Grizzlies' star, not Gay.

Although Link's key steal just now is very beautiful, the Grizzlies players can't be happy for too long. After all, the game isn't over yet. If he loses in overtime, Link's steal just now will be worthless.

So, not long after the joy, the whole team fell into a tense fighting atmosphere again. However, the game has played so far, and the coaches of both sides actually have little way to restrain each other. If there were, the game would not have reached the point of overtime.

Therefore, what kind of extra time can be played actually depends on whether the players play well on the spot. In this overtime, Hollins had to re-evaluate the order of the players' shots.

Today, Rudy Gay is the player with the most shots in the game. He has taken 23 shots. However, under Ariza's defense, he only hit 8 goals. Gay took nearly 10 more shots than Paul, but only scored 2 more points than Paul. There's no question that his inefficiency is affecting the Grizzlies' win rate.

Hollins considered for a long time, and finally decided to exercise his right as head coach, "Overtime, Rudy, I need you to attract more offensive firepower. Link, Conley, you two are looking for opportunities. Remember, we must Playing a more efficient offense than the previous four quarters is guaranteed to win the game."

Hollins' message is clear, Gay is no longer the Grizzlies' main point of attack, Link and Conley are. Guy nodded lonely, he had no reason to refute.

After all, his hit rate today was there. He's only hitting 34.8 percent from the field, and even he himself is not satisfied.

Guy and Ariza fought for four quarters, and it turned out that he was unable to turn the tide today. In this case, he also believes that he does not need to continue to be persistent.

In order to win, give the opportunity to your teammates.

The electronic buzzer sounded, and the Smoothie King Center was buzzing once again. Hollins didn't say anything more, he looked at the five starters in front of him, especially Link. He clapped his hands and pointed to the court, "The opportunity is on the court, we have to grab it ourselves."

Overtime began, and Gasol was still fighting for the first shot for the Grizzlies. The result of the scrimmage didn't seem to matter to four quarters of regular-season time. After all, in the end, everyone gets an average of two opportunities to strike first.

But in overtime, the scrimmage is crucial. The result of the scrimmage will determine who can attack first, and the first attacking side will likely gain the initiative in the few five minutes of play.

You know, the two sides will enter overtime, indicating that the strength is close. In a game where the strength is close, even if it is a goal, it is quite critical.

In overtime, the Hornets' defensive focus was still on Rudy Gay. After all, he is the player with the most shots in the game, and his shot probability is the highest.

Hornets coach Monty Williams is very hopeful that Guy will continue to play singles.

Because he believes Ariza will keep Gay's shooting percentage down today.

Sure enough, Conley passed the ball to Gay immediately after reaching the three-point line. Guy held the ball and made a three-threat action, seemingly going to continue singles!

But at this moment, Gay suddenly passed the ball from the top of Ariza's head. Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Link ran out and caught the basketball at the free throw line.

After receiving the basketball, Link did not make any adjustments and just took off and shot! His movements are very fluid, even Belinelli's defensive moves are not that fluid.

Link's mid-range shot is very stable, which makes people feel at ease when they watch it. Sure enough, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and Link once again gave the Hornets a major blow in an unpretentious way!

"Rudy Gay actually passed the ball. This is the first assist he gave Link today. If he can pass the ball in the fourth quarter, it is estimated that the game is over now. But it doesn't matter, now It's not too late to calm down. Rudy Gay assisted Link to complete the shot, which is undoubtedly the result that the Hornets did not expect. And Link has also scored the 22nd point of the day, yes, 22 points!"

Barkley deliberately emphasized Link's score, and Kenny Smith scoffed at this. He believed that only the stars could dominate overtime.

Link's steal just now? Just luck.

Paul vaguely felt that something was wrong. Could the Grizzlies use Link as the main attacker? If that's the case, the team will have to change its defensive strategy. Link is indeed very strong, but if Ariza is used to guard Link, he will not be so magical.

With such a conjecture, Paul first assisted David West in a mid-range shot to tie the game. Then, he decided to take a good look at the Grizzlies offense.

However, this time it was not Link who scored the goals for the Grizzlies, but Paul Conley Jr.

Link did receive the basketball this time, but instead of shooting it himself, he played a hand-off with Conley.

After handing over, Link took advantage of the situation and stopped Paul. Conley seized the opportunity to take a mid-to-long-range jumper and hit the basketball again.

Conley is the most efficient player in the game today, bar none. His shooting percentage is not only higher than Link, but even higher than the two insiders Gasol and Randolph.

After this ball, Conley has made 9 of 11 shots today and scored 22 points with a terrifying shooting rate of 81.8%!

Now, Paul is in trouble again. He let his matchup play such an efficient game, and naturally he couldn't hold his face. Maybe the Grizzlies didn't want Link to attack from the start, and their real focus in overtime was Conley?

Guy, Link or Conley? The Hornets couldn't find the defensive focus for a while. But fortunately, the Hornets' own offense has maintained high efficiency. Paul and West's mid-range shots hit the rim frequently. In 2011, the mid-range shot remained the most preferred offensive option for most teams.

Five minutes to the end, the two teams are still tied, no one can guard against the other!

In the last 23.8 seconds of the game, Lionel Hollins used his last timeout. Paul is too strong, he deserves to be one of the best point guards in the league.

When Gay stopped throwing waves, and when the Grizzlies improved their offensive efficiency, Paul still had a way to make the Hornets bite the score. This is the difference between an excellent point guard and an ordinary point guard.

So, the game came to this critical moment again. , the two sides drew again. Only this time, it was the Grizzlies who had the last shot. They have the opportunity to kill the game, and see if they can grasp it.

"The Grizzlies are a team that is good at defense. They may be able to prevent lore shots, but they may not be able to execute lore shots." During the timeout, the right to speak in the game naturally returned to Kenny Smith and Barkley. superior.

"You can pull it off, Kenny. Of all the things you predicted today, none of it was true. You said the Grizzlies couldn't resist the Hornets, and they went to overtime. You said Link would be in the crunch time. He didn't do anything, and he broke the Hornets' dream with a steal. Now, you say the Grizzlies can't execute the lore. Instead, I'm looking forward to what will happen later."

Barkley stared at the Grizzlies' bench, and during overtime, Gay didn't make a shot, and all 10 points came from Link and Conley. But this does not mean that the Grizzlies will choose Link and Conley to end the game in the end.

After all, in the fourth quarter, Gay also hit a key three-pointer. Moreover, it is not impossible for Hollins to hit the ball to the Black and White Bears.

Who will the Grizzlies choose to take the final shot? That's a question, and one the Hornets desperately need to figure out right now.

In fact, Hollins was struggling too. This might be his most important decision today, so he didn't dare to be careless.

With Conley? With Guy? Or use Randolph? All three of them have their own strengths, but also their own weaknesses.

Conley and Randolph's defenders are too strong, and Gay has a bad touch today. No matter who you choose, it seems like a gamble.

"Gambling?" Hollins looked up and looked at Link, who scored 4 points and 1 assist in overtime. This undrafted player has already saved the team once in the fourth quarter, so is it possible to save the second time?

This question is left to the Hornets' defense to verify.
