: Seven hundred fifty-two: a veteran with a key role

On the second day of the 13-14 playoffs, the upsets were significantly less than the first day.
　　
　　 The Miami Heat, second in the East, overtook the Bobcats 99 to 88, not repeating the backtrack of the first Pacers in the East. The Clippers, ranked fourth in the West, also killed the Houston Rockets. Harden and Howard, as Link expected, only caught the blind in the playoffs.
　　
　　The highly anticipated Memphis Grizzlies created the biggest difference of 19 points in the game that day.
　　
　　Before the game, people said how strong the Mavericks are, and they all said that they are by no means as simple as the eighth in the West.
　　
　　 But in just one game, Link shut everyone up.
　　
　　The strongest eighth in the West? The Grizzlies are the best in history!
　　
　　 From the first round of Link's one-handed dunk, the Mavericks had no hope at all. Their mobility, offense, defense and efficiency...almost every item is more than one grade worse than the Grizzlies.
　　
　　 The only two technical statistics for the Mavericks in this game are fouls and turnovers.
　　
　　 After this game, the silence of Cuban is golden.
　　
　　 Before the game, he proudly believed that the Mavericks could cause trouble for the 74 wins. But after the game, Cuban was dumb.
　　
　　Even if Link spoke rudely to Cuban in an interview last night, Cuban did not respond.
　　
　　 Lost the opponent by 19 points, what else is there to say? Even if Cuban tells the truth, his words are not convincing.
　　
　　 In addition to Mark Cuban, the NBA must be very upset now.
　　
　　 The Grizzlies played the entire series without any suspense in just one game, which will undoubtedly have an impact on ratings and revenue.
　　
　　 It seems that the birth of a super team is not all good for the league.
　　
　　 After the second day of the playoffs, everything seemed to be back on track. On April 21, the higher-ranked teams all won. In the second game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks, the Dallas people still failed to create miracles.
　　
　　 In the second game of the series on April 23, the Mavericks' field goal percentage did not overturn. Monta Ellis scored 21 points and hit 45% from the field. Nowitzki made 8 of 10 and scored 20 points efficiently with an 80% shooting rate.
　　
　　 The Dallas Mavericks are very good, but for the Grizzlies, it is not good enough.
　　
　　 In the original history, there was no player in the Spurs who could stand up for violent output. So when the Mavericks play well offensively, the Spurs have a hard time keeping the score. In addition, Carlisle can always restrain the Vitch tactically, so the Spurs and the Mavericks made a tie-break in the first round.
　　
　　 But the Grizzlies don't have this problem, and Link can use consecutive scoring at any time to douse the Mavericks' momentum. In the second quarter of the game, when the Grizzlies trailed the Mavericks by 6 points, Link broke out a wave of 9-0, which forced the Mavericks down in one fell swoop.
　　
　　 In the second game, the Mavericks only lost the Grizzlies by 6 points. They did show a strength much higher than the eighth in the West, but lost 6 points and 19 points, the result is the same.
　　
　　 The Grizzlies will go to the opponent's home court with a score of 2-0 as always. According to the Grizzlies' "habit" last season, they will not miss the chance to end the series in Dallas.
　　
　　Mark Cuban is quite embarrassed now, because in Dallas, he can no longer hide at home to watch football.
　　
　　 When the time comes, his ugly expression will be displayed to the public at a glance.
　　
　　 It was the first time that Kuban regretted what he had said, and he was very happy for a while, but the price was very heavy.
　　
　　 After the game back to Dallas, everything still did not improve.
　　
　　 The first night of the Grizzlies in Dallas, the Mavericks did fiercely resist. When they were 20 points behind in the third quarter, they once narrowed the difference to 6 points!
　　
　　 Just when everyone thought the Mavericks were about to complete a shocking reversal at home, the big villain, Link, stood up and tore through the perfect inspirational script with a cover.
　　
　　 In the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, Monta Ellis shook Iguodala through the screen and went straight to the basket.
　　
　　 At this time, Gasol was pulled to the outside line because of the pick-and-roll prevention, Randolph was also outside the three-point line by Deca.
　　
　　 Alice’s front is unimpeded, if he can successfully score, then the Mavericks will reduce the difference to 4 points!
　　
　　 But Ellis knew that things were not that simple. It is not enough to just throw off the black and white bears. Before the layup, Ellis deliberately took a look at Link's position.
　　
　　 Seeing that Link was rushing towards him, Ellis decided to avoid the block with a lever action!
　　
　　Sure enough, when Alice took off, Link also jumped up. Ellis is fortunate that he was prepared, otherwise this will definitely become a volleyball adventure that fan the ball 50 meters.
　　
　　 In the air, Ellis retracted the ball to his chest and avoided Link's block.
　　
　　 Then, Ellis switched the ball to the left hand, ready to layup!
　　
　　 As long as this goal is scored and the point difference is reduced to 4 points, there is hope for everything!
　　
　　 However, after completing the lever action, Ellis was surprised to find that Link still did not land! This guy seemed to be waiting in the air to change hands. After he lifted the basketball with his left hand, Link also changed his hand to get the ball!
　　
　　 Ellis has completed countless difficult layups, some of which have succeeded and failed. But not once did he meet someone who could complete the change of hands while floating in the air.
　　
　　 Link finally patted off the basketball in Ellis's hand and finished the shot! Monta Ellis's beautiful drawbar layup still didn't let him escape the fate of eating hot pot.
　　
　　 Link quickly picked up the basketball after landing, then used a long pass to assist Conley as a counterattack.
　　
　　 The Mavericks, who had hoped to reduce the difference to 4 points, are now 8 points behind.
　　
　　 The most important thing is that Link’s horrifying time in the air blocked all the confidence of the Mavericks players.
　　
　　 Now the Mavericks players are not thinking about how to win, but: "How can you win against this kind of guy!?"
　　
　　 Link used this terrible block to completely shatter the Mavericks' dream of the playoffs. Facts have proved that there was one and only one miracle in 2011.
　　
　　 Before the end of the game, fans of the Mavericks' home court left early. No home fan spends money to watch the game, hoping to see their home team being slaughtered.
　　
　　 So a very bleak scene appeared in the American Airlines Center Arena.
　　
　　 Mark Cuban sat in the front row of the audience, crying. He didn't yell excitedly or stood up and punched like he used to, but stared at the court blankly, no one knew what he was thinking. Behind him, there is an empty stand, showing a rundown.
　　
　　 Link destroyed his favorite thing in front of Cuban and his team.
　　
　　 After the game, the harsh buzzing sound made Cuban come back to his senses.
　　
　　 The total score became 3 to 0. Although the Mavericks have not lost yet, they are no different from losing.
　　
　　 The Grizzlies players have begun to embrace the Mavericks players, the kind of hug between the winner and the loser.
　　
　　 Nowitzki dragged his tired body and opened his arms towards Link, but this time, he didn't chatter in Link's ear for a long time.
　　
　　 After saying "I hope you all go well", Nowitzki left the stadium. This time, Link no longer needed any advice from him.
　　
　　 After sending Nowitzki away, Link wanted to walk to Cuban and say goodbye to him, and by the way appreciate the expressions of Cuban from proud to disappointed. But Link didn't expect Vince Carter to find himself on the initiative.
　　
　　 "You guys played really well, kid, you're so merciless." Carter shook his head and walked up to Link and took the initiative to hold him.
　　
　　 12.6 points per game, you can’t say that Vince Carter didn’t contribute anything to the Mavericks. It's just that his current contribution is far from comparable to that of ten years ago. But he, who has done his best, will definitely be unwilling to fail to win the next game in the playoffs.
　　
　　 "You almost won, didn't you?" Link is very good at spitting people, but he is really not good at talking. In the face of opponents who took the initiative to show good, Link's response has always been very stiff.
　　
"Okay, don't comfort me, I know the gap between us. But...damn, I don't feel reconciled. A 37-year-old veteran would feel unwilling, it's ridiculous. Take your call Leave it to me, this summer, I want to train with you."
　　
　　 Faced with Carter's sudden request, Link was a little dazed. In the past, most of the people who trained with him were young people. But now, even Carter, an influential old dough stick in the league, is interested in his training camp?
　　
　　 Link guessed that if he engages in paid training camps like Olajuwon in the future, he would still need a hammer! Just relying on "selling classes" can make a lot of money.
　　
"Are you sure? Our summer training intensity is very high~EbookFREE.me~ It is because of this that I want to join. If I don't work hard in summer, how can I keep up with your young people." Carter smiled, he Haven't lowered the demands on yourself.
　　
　　 Link exchanged numbers with Carter, and the conversation between the two ended here.
　　
　　 A veteran who is still eager for victory and championship, not just to support his family.
　　
　　 This kind of player might play a key role at a certain time.
　　
　　 It's a pity that Carter is not on a team with the ability to compete for championships. Otherwise, his key role will definitely be fully revealed.
　　
　　 For example, in Memphis Grizzlies...
　　
　　 Link didn't think about it any more, when he was about to say goodbye to Cuban, he found that Cuban was no longer in the stands.
　　
　　 There is no other way. After all, the team owner who is eliminated must have to worry about this summer in advance.
