In the second quarter, Link rushed to catch up to equalize the score, allowing both sides to return to the same starting line.
He led the team to do this without using a single shot.
The Rockets are indeed lucky enough to run into one of the few situations where Link has a poor shooting feel.
However, it is still unknown whether the Rockets can win by this.
After the score was equalized, the game became anxious.
The Rockets got on Lu Wei, and the offensive firepower further evolved. As for the Grizzlies, Link continued to use his other advantages to control the game.
The two sides have been like this. You chased me until the fourth quarter. During the period, although the two teams were alternately leading, the maximum difference was only 7 points.
In the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Conley made a long shot and hit the front of the basket, forming a long rebound.
D'Antoni was just about to punch and cheer, but found that Link actively rushed up to grab the rebound.
"Another offensive rebound, this is already the seventh offensive rebound Link grabbed this game! Seven offensive rebounds, incredible!"
Kevin Harlan yelled, shaking his head with emotion.
Link's enthusiasm for fighting for the ball today is indeed much stronger than before. Isn't the Rockets accurate in shooting? It doesn't matter, just grab the missed ball back.
Link is indeed using other efforts to fill in his lack of shooting today. Up to now, Link has scored a triple-double of 30 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. The bad touch does not seem to bring him. Come any influence.
Had it not been for the Rockets to be too accurate outside the three-point line today, Link probably would have embraced victory.
After taking down the offensive rebound, Link immediately ran beyond the three-point line, but Ariza did not post it.
He still intends to defend Link in the usual way today, not even sudden.
However, Link did not hesitate this time.
After he ran outside the three-point line, he turned around and shot, making his shot very decisive!
Ariza didn't even make any interference with the shot. He just crossed a gear and got stuck in position to prevent Link from catching offensive rebounds again.
In this round, Link did not get a rebound. But similarly, the Houston Rockets didn't catch it either.
Because of this decisive three-pointer, he jumped directly into the net, without a rebound at all!
"What!?" Ariza was taken aback. He deliberately let Link make a three-pointer, but he didn't expect to make it.
"Actually, Link scored the first three-pointer in the game today. He helped the Grizzlies expand the point difference to 5 points! Self-grabbing and self-reporting, Link is completely rubbing on his own. Rockets!"
Everyone was stunned, D'Antoni even felt that the three-pointer was like a spear, which plunged directly into his heart.
Link hit such a difficult three-pointer, is it possible...
Is it possible that he finally got his hand feeling! ?
D'Antoni is not the only one holding this idea. Link's just three-pointer completely disrupted the steady pace of the game!
"Link shot, and finally shot. Believe in that guy's self-regulation ability, it is impossible for him to hit the iron for 48 minutes!" Bill Simmons said, looking at Link's previous Shooting percentage.
5 of 0 outside the three-point line...
Well, I have voted so many, it's time to get one.
D'Antoni was so scared that he immediately added a timeout. He didn't know if Link just missed that goal or if he really got the touch.
But as long as there is a slight possibility of danger, D'Antoni must put an end to it!
This is the playoffs, and he can't afford the slightest risk.
"If Link finds the feel at this time, it would be too bad for the Rockets."
"Hahaha, so Link is the king of key goals? Even if he doesn't score a whole game, he will never lose the chain at the critical moment!"
Bill Simmons smiles happily, Link is one of those players who become more anxious in the game.
Maybe Link will feel bad, but you can never see Link doing nothing at a critical moment!
Link, who was sitting on the bench, looked at his hands, and seemed to feel that his shooting had come back a bit.
Sure enough, the shooting feel is really mysterious.
Then... destroy the rocket in one go!
After came back from the timeout, Lu Wei immediately soared into a three-pointer, narrowing the difference again.
But this goal did not reduce the cheers in the Federal Express Arena.
After entering "Link Time" in the last five minutes of the game, all the Rockets' efforts will be in vain!
As expected, Link immediately responded to Lu Wei.
This time, Link noticed that Ariza was sticking tighter while defending himself. Obviously, he has not continued to follow the principle of letting go.
Now, neither he nor D'Antoni dare to let Link shoot anymore.
For others, just scoring a goal may be just luck, and you can continue to put it.
But facing Link, the Rockets didn't dare to die like that.
Link has scored a lot of goals in his career, but he only scored the least with a balloon!
Every time he scores, he relies on strength to fight.
Seeing Ariza sticking so tightly, Link, who was holding the ball close to the three-point line, suddenly stopped and made a look like he was about to draw three-pointers!
Link has pierced the opponent's defense more than once this season with a long-range dry draw, so Ariza did not dare to slack off and immediately raised his focus.
Link is waiting for this time!
At the moment Ariza came forward to block, Link accelerated past Ariza.
Fake Buddha worship again, facing Link, you don't know which step is true and which step is false.
broke through Ariza, facing Capella's supplementary defense, Link suddenly stopped at the middle distance, and then shot a jumper!
D'Antoni swallowed. Link's confidence seems to have allowed him to predict the result in advance.
Sure enough, the next second, the basketball hit the net, and Link added two more points by shooting!
With this ball, the Grizzlies opened the score again.
Link's shot, really recovered at a critical moment!
The Rockets must regret it very much now, regretting that they did not seize the opportunity to open the score when Link was not feeling well.
At this time, they had no chance.
After this, the final minutes of the fourth quarter were completely ruled by Link.
One minute after the sudden stop and hit the shot, Link turned his back to singles Ariza, and came up with a handsome and elegant rollback and scored consecutively!
Two more rounds later, Link received a wonderful pass from Jokic at the bottom right corner.
He flicked a shot, flying Ariza who had become overly nervous, and then easily shot the jumper.
The basketball is unbiased and just falls into the net!
So far, Link has made four consecutive shots in the fourth quarter! In the most critical few minutes, he also gave back to the fans by scoring 10 points in a row.
"This is Link, this is the power of Link's time! In his time, everything can only be listened to by him, and the situation can only be at his mercy!"
Bill Simmons is finally happy, now, he wants to see what the Houston media have to say!
And Kevin Harlan beside him calmed down a lot. Again, Link’s explosive scoring performance is already a common occurrence.
That guy will come here from time to time, Kevin Harlan is used to it.
Therefore, the calm Harlan did not yell at the same time, but found a brand new alliance record.
"40 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. After scoring 10 points in a row, Link scored a terrible 40-point triple-double. This is the third time in his career that he has scored such a data in the playoffs. Yes. Do you know Bill? This makes Link the player with the most 40-point triple-doubles in NBA history ~EbookFREE.me~ in the playoffs!"
D'Antoni stopped the game again. There were 41 seconds left in the game. Both sides had only one chance to attack, but the Rockets were 9 points behind...
Today, the Rockets made 49 three-pointers and hit 22 of them. The three-point percentage was 44%!
22 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs, which is also the third-most playoff three-pointer in league history!
This is a very incredible shooting percentage. You know, the Grizzlies averaged only 26 three-pointers in the regular season this season and only 9 goals per game!
And the Grizzlies' three-pointers and hits are already above the league average.
It can be seen from this that a game shot 49 three-pointers and hit 22, what an exaggerated data!
can be such an exaggerated three-point data, but there is still no way for the Rockets to win.
This really discouraged D'Antoni.
After the game was suspended, Link walked to the commentary and fisted the little girl who had been cheering for him.
"Thank you, your cheering is very important to me."
"I love you, Link!" After the fist, the little girl said shyly.
Link smiled, then walked to the bench, leaving only a tall back of people.
Bill Simmons looked at the ecstatic little girl, watched the 9-point difference opened at the critical moment, and shook his head.
With such a leader, Memphis fans are definitely the happiest fans in the world.
