: 1244: Offense is not enough

After the start of the second quarter, Link's sudden force made the situation of the game a 180° change in an instant.
Doncic was completely suppressed by Link, this super genius did not score a point in Link's two successful defenses.
Dongcic, who had just gotten up from the ground, still felt a little pain in his chest. He really didn't know how Link managed to stand up again and immediately started sprinting without incident.
Dongcic, who had just burst into confidence, felt extremely nervous now.
When Link really planned to take action, the situation seemed to be out of control immediately.
Now, there is only 1 point left. The advantage of the Dallas Mavericks' hard work in the first quarter was easily filled by the Grizzlies.
Dongcic knew that he had to continue to stand up anyway and continue to stabilize the situation for the Mavericks.
So after that, Doncic continued to prepare for singles against Conley.
It's just that now, it's not just Conley that Doncic needs to be careful, he also has to pay attention to Link at all times.
That guy's defensive range on the defensive end, Doncic has just learned.
Wherever he is, Link will approach and complete the defense unconsciously.
This time, Doncic used a very beautiful sudden stop and change of direction during the journey, which swayed Conley.
Doncic’s dazzling action is not as fancy as Kelly Owen and the others, but the effect is superb.
What he pursues is the most efficient way to shake off opponents, not juggling.
After shaking Conley away, Doncic glanced at Link warily.
Finding that Link hadn't made up his defense, he just threw the shot with confidence.
"brush!"
The basketball hit, Doncic continued to score, and the Dallas Mavericks widened the difference again.
Doncic’s courage is commendable. When most young players see Link’s performance just now, they are generally frightened directly and become overwhelmed in subsequent games.
But Dongcic not only was not suppressed, he was able to respond.
Although this game is not over yet, it has already opened the distance between Dongcic and other rookies.
Link is not soft. Although Dorian Finney Smith is an excellent 3D player, his defense is far from excellent in front of Link.
Seeing that Link used a very large arc to change direction, he cleared Finney Smith.
However, Mavericks coach Carlisle is not stupid, he has always led the team to win the championship coach.
Knowing that Finney Smith could not defend Link alone, he deliberately arranged a defense for Link.
As soon as Link broke through, Porzingis, who is 2.21 meters tall, immediately crossed to the basket!
The Latvian stopped to the basket, like a mountain, completely blocking the basket.
Porzingis has excellent height and arm length, and his athletic ability is also very good, which gives him extremely powerful anti-aircraft firepower.
In his first year in the league, Porzingis averaged 1.9 blocks per game!
In the 17-18 season, Porzingis averaged 2.4 blocks per game.
At that time, the average of 2.4 blocks per game was second only to Anthony Davis's 2.6, ranking second in the league.
Except for Davis and Porzingis, there were no other players who averaged two blocks per game this season.
"The King of Pies" Capella averaged only 1.9 blocks per game that year, and Drummond only 1.6 times. This shows how terrible Porzingis' blocked blocks are.
Not only can he fan the ball, he even staged a good show of chasing after him.
As long as he opens the "big net" in the air, few people will be spared.
Carlisle believes that even Link cannot score easily against an air defense monster like Porzingis.
Seeing Porzingis defending to the basket, Link did not slow down.
He knew that if he showed fear, the other person would become confident.
So Link did not fear to stand up to Porzingis and jumped to prepare for a layup. He wanted to use a high toss to jump over the defense, but he found out after he was in the air.
This kid Porzingis is Nima really tall!
Link has reached the highest point, but Porzingis's high arm still covers the basketball!
As long as you make a shot, it is a volleyball hat!
Carlisle clenched his fists, he was ready to cheer for Porzingis's blockade, and Link was already on his way!
But at this time, an unbelievable scene happened.
I saw that Link never made a shot in the air. After the bodies of both parties began to fall, Link suddenly leaned back and then gently threw the ball to the basket.
With both bodies already falling, Porzingis could only watch the basketball pass by his fingertips.
In the end, the basketball jumped over the tower of Porzingis and successfully fell into the net.
A ball that was destined to be blocked was scored by Link.
"What's this!? Back layup!? Link's waist and abdomen strength and balance are too strong, he can forcibly lean back in the air to avoid the block! Moreover, these movements are still done when the body is falling. This One goal is so difficult, I bet no one can remake it!"
Jeff Van Gundy wiped his eyes. He just thought Porzingis was about to complete a beautiful block.
Unexpectedly, Link gave Porzingis a limit operation.
These scoring methods are really impossible for others to learn, and they are purely a show off of personal ability!
Link's incredible goal made the Grizzlies bite the score again!
Porzingis was full of horror. In the past, he was confident that he could fly out the basketball fan in the opponent's hand.
But it was the first time Porzingis saw Link's operation of waiting for his body to fall and then leaning back.
Link's goal gave Porzingis and Doncic a huge sense of oppression.
As before, Link made his opponents afraid of losing.
If you bite so tightly, if you miss an offense, you will be overtaken by the Grizzlies.
This undoubtedly gave the other party great psychological pressure.
Link can still score the ball that has been completely covered just now.
Doncic didn't know how to stop Link.
The only thing he can do is to keep scoring goals!
Link originally thought that Dongcic would be overwhelmed by tremendous pressure.
However, the Slovenian genius once again created surprises for Link.
In the next few rounds, Doncic's offense was still very calm. There is no abnormal performance due to the huge sense of oppression.
You know, even Durant and Harden were impatient because they were bitten too tightly by Link.
But in Dongcic, you can't see his impatient side at all.
Being double-teamed, he will calmly hand the ball to his teammate in the open position. This guy's passing vision and passing accuracy are absolutely top in the league.
Generally speaking, players in the first position need more time to develop compared to other players.
Because the overall situation and organizational ability need to be experienced and accumulated through competition.
For example, Lonzo Ball, although his passing is very good, but in fact most of Ball's assists are obtained in the conversion offense.
In fact, Bauer's organizational ability is very, very general. This is very much related to his experience.
However, Dongqi Wizards is already one of the best organizers in this league in the second grade.
In addition to passing the ball, Doncic's own offensive skills are also very versatile.
Breakthroughs, fancy layups, jump shots from various distances and positions... Doncic's offense has almost no dead ends.
He withstood the pressure and continued to open the bow left and right, leading the Mavericks' offense.
In this way, in the second quarter of the game, when Link had already flexed his fist on the offensive end, the Mavericks still did not collapse.
After the second quarter, the Grizzlies only led the Mavericks by 5 points!
Link scored 13 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in a single quarter. He scored 16 points.
Where is Dongcic? He still had 12 points in the second quarter. In other words, that guy already scored 23 points in half the game!
It turns out that Doncic is not a data brush.
He is a player who can really fight tough battles!
Many people compare Doncic with the previous Love, saying that Love was also a data explosion, but in fact he was not so good.
However, Dongcic and Love are completely different. Love's record for the Timberwolves was there, and the Mavericks are now the top eight team in the Western Conference!
His strength is indeed not blown out.
"I really don’t know who to praise this season~EbookFREE.me~ Dongcic and Link performed very well. They dedicated a wonderful game for the fans. Although the Mavericks are very passive, but Luca bit the score anyway, there is still suspense in the game!"
Link shook his head, he was not satisfied with the current result.
Being forced to this place by a rookie is not what Link wants to see.
He thought he could easily kill the Mavericks with a little effort, but the facts proved him wrong.
After returning to the locker room, Link took the lead in making his request before Georgel could speak.
"In the third quarter, I will defend that kid."
Link knew that just hitting the Mavericks offensively would no longer work.
In the third quarter, Link wanted to overcome Dongcic in all directions.
He no longer wanted to let the game go on.
It's time for that guy to see the real horror of Federal Express Arena.
