: Four hundred and fifty-eight: Can he hold on for a few minutes?

Tim Duncan, a man who was once called a technical foul for smiling. His smile can convey a lot of emotions, except for being friendly.
Looking at Duncan's smile, Link felt uncomfortable, even some of his back became cold. Now he can understand why the referee had to penalize the smiling Duncan for a technical foul.
Because even if he is really smiling at you kindly, you can't tell.
Too wretched!
You are already facial paralysis, so don't make these complicated expressions.
He was so cool when he was expressionless, and his image collapsed when he laughed.
"I seem to scare him? Did I smile badly?" Duncan scratched his head. He swore that he just wanted to say hello to Link.
"Come on, only we can stand your smile. Today was a tough battle, Tim. But thankfully, the Grizzlies have played 4 games in 5 days. I think we still have a big win today. "Parker chatted with Duncan while shooting.
"It's okay for us. For Kawai, that's the real tough fight. The father told him to defend Link alone today...between him and Link, he is destined to be driven crazy." Duncan glanced at the number 2 who spoke less than himself not far away.
"So, who do you think will be driven mad?"
Duncan didn't answer, his expression gradually became serious.
Link has not scored 20 points in two consecutive games. Many people outside are questioning Link and his ability to fight continuously.
But Duncan, who has played against the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, knows better than anyone that Link can always perform incredible every time he faces the Spurs.
I hope young Leonard can succeed.
A few minutes later, the referee urged the starting players of both sides to stand in the designated position, and the game was about to begin.
The fans in the Federal Express Arena cheered. This season, the Grizzlies' home attendance was full. Before acquiring the Grizzlies, many people told Pella, "The Grizzlies don't make money, so don't mix it up."
But now, Robert Pera is making a lot of money. The myth of the Grizzlies being unbeaten at home has made every game held at the Federal Express Arena attract attention.
ESPN made a special report earlier, selecting the five most difficult home games in the NBA this season. The Federal Express Arena is not in these five home courts, but is divided into a separate file.
"If you think it is difficult enough to capture the above five home courts, then go to the Federal Express Arena. There will let you know what is difficulty." This is the original sentence in the article.
Therefore, even in the face of the powerful Spurs, even if this is the fourth game the Grizzlies have played in five days. But as long as they are fighting in the Federal Express Arena, Grizzlies fans are full of confidence.
Popovich was waiting. Before the game started, he stood on the sidelines, watching his players. He always has to send a message to the Spurs players, "I can look at you, I'll work harder!"
"The starting lineups of both sides have not changed. Both teams have come up with the strongest lineups against each other. However, the Grizzlies may have to pay attention to their physical condition. You can't imagine the intensity of this in 5 days and 4 games." Before the game started, even Hubie Brown was worried about the physical condition of the Grizzlies.
It was too terrible to see the Spurs at this knot. Although the Spurs' rhythm is not fast, but the defensive intensity is high. Once the defensive strength is raised, the physical energy consumption is also huge.
Link stood on the side of the center circle. Inside the circle, Gasol and Split were about to face off. Opposite him, standing is the silent man.
Kawai Leonard, it's not the first time Link has played against him. Every time Link used his offense to make Leonard frown like a facial paralyzed face, Link felt very fulfilled.
But Link could clearly feel that every time he played against Leonard, that guy's strength would improve by a bit. When the Grizzlies played against the Spurs at the beginning of this season, Link already found Leonard to be difficult.
This time, it is estimated that the difficulty will rise linearly.
The referee blew his whistle, and Gasol got the first strike over the Brazilian center. As soon as Link ran through halftime, he realized that he couldn't move.
Leonard actually took a close-fitting strategy against Link without the ball near the midfield line!
"Sure enough, Popovich wanted to consume Link's stamina to the maximum." On the bench, Elston Turner clenched his fist nervously. If Link is blocked today, the Grizzlies' offense will be in serious trouble.
Link also didn't expect Leonard to be so active, he raised the intensity to the highest level. At the same time, Link also found that the other Spurs defended themselves very tightly. It seems that the Spurs are going to implement a strict one-on-one defense today, dividing the Grizzlies' offense into scattered pieces.
Link wanted to irritate Leonard with trash talking and distract him. But as soon as he saw his expressionless face, Link dismissed the idea.
Today, any bells and whistles are useless, only with hard power to win!
Link and Randolph made an off-the-ball screen, but Leonard leaned on the bear and turned around flexibly and rushed out of the screen.
Link struggling to run to the left corner, as soon as he received the ball, before he even had time to turn to the frame, he was slammed by Leonard!
Posted again!
"Fuck!" Link was forced to be so embarrassed. He no longer remembers when he was forced to be so embarrassed in a formal game.
In training, Link often has to face the defenses of Tony Allen, Iguodala and Jimmy Butler, so most opponents' defenses are pediatrics for Link.
But Leonard's defense today... Link must admit that the intensity is even greater than that of his teammates!
Link couldn't dribble, so he could only push forward with his back. Seeing this, the Grizzlies opened up all the players to make room for Link to play singles.
Popovich smiled and wanted this effect!
Link leaned back, but it felt like he was hitting a wall. Although Link does not have to be too close to the basket for back-up singles, Link is now standing one step within the three-point line. It's still too difficult to shoot directly from this position.
No rubbish, no ridicule or even any expression, Leonard immediately posted it again, unwavering!
Link wanted to pass the ball, but the passing route was completely blocked. The Spurs' tactical execution ability is unquestionable. Popovich makes them man-to-man, and they will never go wrong.
So Link had to try to push in again, but the effect was minimal. Leonard's strength has increased significantly, and Link estimates that Kawai and James are not afraid of being tough.
There is no way, Link has only one step inside the three-point line to directly turn over and shoot a jumper!
"For a long-range turn-over jumper, Leonard straightened his long arm and sealed it. It was very difficult!" Hubby Brown shook his head. In all fairness, this is indeed a bad, but helpless shot choice.
Duncan and Splitter immediately opened their arms and blocked the penalty area, ready to scramble for rebounds.
After Link turned over and landed a jumper, they all fell outside the three-point line. This shows how far away he is from the basket. That kind of turn-over jumper from that distance, and then met Leonard's powerful blockade, is impossible to hit!
The basketball crossed everyone's heads in a very high arc, and became extremely dazzling under the light.
When Duncan saw the basketball again, the basketball was already hollow into the net!
"Go in! As expected of Link, this kind of ball can't bother him!" Hubby Brown stood up from the bench the moment the ball was scored, and behind him, thousands of people cheered like him. Fans.
Only Link can create such a "tsunami" in the Federal Express Arena!
"Fuck, this can also go in." On the Spurs bench, Popovich's assistant suggested that he replace Leonard's assistant coach Mike Budenholzer with George Hill last year and shook his head.
With such a long-distance turn-over jumper, such a big interference, he can actually make it. That kid deserves to be the forward who was selected to the All-Star starting lineup for two consecutive years.
"Yeah, Link is getting stronger and stronger now, and he can now fight this kind of giant planet. However," Popovich did not feel unhappy, but smiled, "but continue to fight like this. Can he last for a few minutes?"
On the court, Link did not celebrate the goal, and even frowned even deeper!
Although scoring a goal in this strong confrontation is wonderful, it is the most energy-consuming. After just playing a round, Link felt like he was sweating.
The basketball game is not just one quarter, he can't keep playing it.
We must find a way to connect the whole team's offense. This is the best way to save energy!
Link hadn't figured out what to do, but the Spurs' offense came first.
The defensive end is tough, and the Spurs are not soft on the offensive end. Parker and Duncan made a screen, and the French handed the ball to Duncan who was inside.
After Duncan got the basketball, he slapped it and then leaned on Randolph to attack the frame forcibly!
Duncan this season, like Randolph, has completely come out of the trouble of injury. Facing Randolph's blockade, Duncan's body not only did not sway in the air, but instead steadily scored the ball and won the referee's whistle.
Duncan got the chance to hit three points!
"Pay attention to the action Zach ~ EbookFREE.me~ pay attention!" Stevens yelled anxiously. He didn't want his starting No. 4 position to foul twice just after he played.
Randolph curled his lips. Duncan was really a old monster. I think he and Duncan could have the upper hand in the playoffs the year before last. But now? Duncan has improved!
Have you ever seen a basketball player who is almost 40 years old but who can recover? Duncan is!
The expressionless Duncan touched Parker's head to show his gratitude. Duncan may be very funny when he is off the basketball court. But in the game, he can instantly transform into a cold "Stone Buddha".
Link touched his dense hair, glad he didn't go to the Spurs.
Although the Grizzlies fans tried their best to interfere, Duncan made a free throw. The Spurs are very active when they hit three points successfully!
The Grizzlies were about to start the second offense, but Link found that No. 2 was already staring at him before halftime.
