: Three hundred and thirty-six: Initial results

Over time, the number of people in the ATT center gradually increased. Until only half an hour left before the start of the game, the entire arena was full.
In the second round of the series, every game can be said to be a battle of focus. The Lakers and the Thunder are fighting vigorously, and the Grizzlies and Spurs are also attracting attention. To what extent is it attracting attention? Before the game started, Spurs fans shouted for their home team.
Amidst the cheers of the "Spurs," the famous basketball reporter David Aldridge found Popovich and will give him a short interview before the game.
"Lin Ke said in the training hall yesterday that they will take home advantage back, which means that they are confident to win today. Do you think Link is just a bluff, or the Grizzlies can really show better strength? What?" David Aldridge didn't like to engage in falsehoods, and immediately raised a sharp question.
"If I have to respond to what the other party says, then the Spurs won't have to play. The team didn't hire me for this. I'm not a diplomat. My job is not to speak about the other party's speech. I only know. How to lead the team to get up, I don't care about the others." Popovich is very serious, playing at home has an advantage, but there is also pressure.
He would not believe what the media said, a person who can convince Kobe is by no means the kind of person who will give up easily.
Before the start of the game, Leonard did not look away from Link. What on earth was that guy’s behavior before the game started?
Both sides started, this time, Popovich changed again. He directly gave up the center and used Duncan to play the fifth position, and Burris Dior, who performed well in the last game, was pulled into the starting line to play the fourth position.
There is no doubt that this lineup will be more flexible than Split's starter for center. Moreover, Duncan, who is now in the third spring, tops Gasol, and does not suffer.
It seems that the Spurs are not complacent. They are also studying the Grizzlies and improving their style of play. This is the playoffs, and both sides are constantly getting stronger during the game. After the head coaches of both sides failed to recruit, it was whoever had more perseverance.
Before the game started, Link jumped very actively. This state of excitement was quite different from the state where he ran directly on the bus to "Ge You Lie" yesterday.
Steve Kerr also teased on the commentary stage, "I knew that Link is not the kind of player who would easily give up the game. Waiting to be optimistic, the show begins!"
After the referee's whistle sounded, Gasol rushed up, fighting for the first shot from Duncan's head.
Duncan didn't care much about the scrimmage, just a ceremonial footstep. The Grizzlies attacked first, and Leonard was still expressionless, sticking to the 0 that harassed him before the game...
Link was not in a hurry, he stood on the right horn and raised his hand to signal Conley to hit the ball in. Conley then handed the ball to Gasol who was sitting in the penalty area, and Link quickly cut in upon seeing this situation!
But Leonard was holding tight, Link was entangled before receiving the ball, there was no room at all.
Just as everyone was applauding Leonard for his excellent defense as always, Link suddenly ran back and returned to the three-point line. Little Gasol reacted quickly and almost immediately delivered the ball to Link.
Link flicked a shot after receiving the ball, instead of shooting, but dribbled!
Sure enough, Leonard was not fooled and was not fired up, but hurriedly backed away when Link took a step out.
"Leonard didn't eat it, his defense is as tight as before!" Cole exclaimed, Leonard's defense is really stable, just like his character.
But is it really airtight? Link smiled and saw Leonard retreat. After a dribble, he immediately retreated and returned to the three-point line!
"What!?" Leonard did not expect that the breakthrough after the fake shot was actually a fake move! When he reacted, Link raised the basketball to shoot.
Leonard stretched his long arms and sealed it, but he was still half a beat. After all, Leonard was taken a step back, and in a game of this NBA level, one step is enough to do a lot of things.
The basketball crossed a rainbow arc, and in everyone's surprised eyes, hollowed into the net!
Link shook Leonard away with two consecutive fake moves. It turns out that Leonard is not a terminator from the future! And as long as people make mistakes! Will be deceived for sure!
"Retreating step and hit a three-pointer! Link was very strong as soon as he came up. He used two consecutive fake moves to play Leonard! Hahaha, now, Leonard knows how great it is!"
Link hooked Leonard after scoring a goal. He knew that Leonard was not easy to eat, and Leonard could always block the breakthrough after the fake shot.
But what if even the breakthrough is fake? Link thought about this question when watching the video yesterday, and then today, he turned what he thought into reality.
Leonard curled his lips, the defense just now really made Link too simple. After the fake vote, there was a fake sudden, Link's thinking was quite clear! Leonard looked at him with admiration!
But Leonard believes that just one goal can't explain much. Basketball is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint. A momentary lead cannot be equated with a final victory.
"A few more passes, a few more passes! The success rate, don't worry!" Changing the Spurs offense, Popovich shouted from the sidelines in the first round.
Duncan is still the main attack point of the Spurs today, after all, Deng scored nearly 30 points in the previous game.
Parker slinged the ball to Duncan, who was leaning on Gasol with his back, ready to pick one out of his basic skills warehouse to deal with the Spaniard.
But before Duncan had time to make a move, Link doubled up.
"Double-teaming so early?" Duncan didn't think much, and passed the ball to Leonard!
But the moment Duncan passed the ball, Link changed direction and rushed towards Leonard! Seeing Leonard start to shoot, Link didn't try to block the ball, but raised his arm in an attempt to block the basket!
In the end, Link managed to get to Leonard before he took the shot. Link raised his arms high and jumped up, making sure Leonard could not determine the position of the basket.
Everyone on the Spurs bench stood up, ready to celebrate the goal. After all, in the last game, Leonard made 100% of his 3-pointers.
But this time, the basketball knocked to the side of the basket and failed to hit! Leonard missed a shot, the Grizzlies have a chance to expand their advantage!
Link waved his fist happily, UU reading www.uukanshu.com's strategy to defend Leonard really worked!
According to the game video and Link's observation of Leonard before the start of today's game, Link confirmed that Leonard's shots were from the frame.
There are roughly two types of NBA players' shooting, one looking at the frame and the other looking at the ball.
Steve Kerr, who was explaining the game at this time, was a great three-point sniper. Kerr has been a person who looked at the ball while shooting his entire life. He once said in an interview,
I picked up for the first time. When I play basketball, I look at the trajectory of the ball after I shot it."
Watching the ball shoot means that when there is interference in front of you, your jumper arc is different from what you are used to in training, and shooting will add more uncertainties. But on the other hand, if the shooter is good at actively adjusting the arc, he can give himself more room for fault tolerance.
Leonard’s shooting coach, England, has always advocated that you should look at the frame when shooting. He said that this has a greater fault tolerance rate and does not have to worry about being disturbed and changing the arc.
So Link didn't interfere with Leonard's basketball just now, but blocked the basket! For Leonard, this will undoubtedly interfere with his aiming!
In the eyes of the fans, this may be just an ordinary block and ordinary shots. Only Link knows how much energy he has spent studying for this!
However, he is very grateful that his hard work has paid off. Still, Link believes that no player can't defend. The difference is how much energy you are willing to spend to defend him.
After the Grizzlies counterattacked, Link broke through and assisted Gasol in a mid-range shot, helping the Grizzlies get a 4-0 start.
Popovich became nervous for an instant and flew on the sidelines.
He had a hunch that Leonard might be in big trouble today.
