: 338: The Terminator loses

Kawai Leonard, a year ago, few people knew the name of this guy. But now, he is the favorite of San Antonio.
But today, the darling of the people of San Antonio is struggling. Leonard made 3 of 3 3-pointers in the last game, which made him a lot of popularity and attention. But today, Leonard almost disappeared on the offensive end.
Link proved with his actual actions-Lao Tzu is not so easy to be defeated!
Give up the game? The great jealousy of sliding the world.
Leonard connected to the basketball at the three-point line. According to tactics, Parker just passed to Leonard for a transfer.
But even so, Link did not relax his pressure on Leonard. Link raised his arms directly and pressed against Leonard, and the two of them almost got together.
The Spurs' offense was interrupted in this way, and Leonard was unable to play the ball for a time at this transit point. This is a huge blow to the Spurs, a team that relies on team and system attacks.
Leonard raised the basketball high, and the only thing he can do now is to keep the basketball from being intercepted by Link. Therefore, he dare not put the ball down at all.
Link continued to press, but did not foul. Combining the video and Link's understanding of Leonard in the future, he is very clear that Leonard's biggest shortcoming in this period is not shooting, but not enough ability to play the ball!
After receiving the basketball, Leonard was very hesitant to pass the ball. When faced with pressing and double-teaming, Leonard is also very easy to make mistakes.
It's just that because Leonard is only a 3D player now, few teams will double-team or press him. Therefore, this shortcoming of Leonard is not so easy to be discovered.
Unfortunately, since being suppressed by Leonard in the last game, Link has made up his mind to beat Leonard to death. He will seize all of Leonard's shortcomings and beat it!
Leonard hesitated for a long time in Link's press, and finally hurried the ball. The pass was made by Ginobili.
But Leonard's pass was slow and drifting, and it couldn't transfer the ball at all. Tony Allen, who was chasing Ginobili, rushed forward and destroyed the bad pass.
If there is a mistake, there will be a counterattack.
Tony Allen immediately delivered the ball to Conley after stealing the ball, and Conley passed the ball to Link. Link faced Leonard's defense and used a European step layup to open the space and easily hit.
After Link scored, the cheers in the ATT Center ushered in the lowest point today. This number 0 roared up to the sky and vented all the suffocation in his heart.
"23 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. The most important thing is that Link's shooting percentage today is as high as 60%! Leonard's defense seems not to be very effective. Link's extreme control of the details today allowed him Always find a fleeting gap!"
Cole must blow up Link's offense today, from the data to the viewing point, he is like a top scorer.
It can be seen that Leonard's defense has not weakened, but is still strong. It's just that Link adjusted in time to adapt to this tough defense.
The defensive end couldn't prevent Link, and Leonard was also on the offensive end today.
In the last three-pointer, 3 of 3 scored 16 points, and today he has hit 2 of 6 and only 4 points are accounted for.
This is also how Leonard didn't make a lot of shots. After 6 shots, he didn't know how to attack. Otherwise, the hit rate may be lower.
Of course, Leonard certainly has no hope of a comeback today. After all, after this counterattack, the game will end with only 3 minutes left. The Spurs are already 8 points behind.
Although Leonard did not play the expected level today, the duo of Duncan and Parker really played well together. Both are very efficient today, so the Grizzlies have not been able to completely open the score.
But until now, the offensive stability of Duncan and Parker has begun to decline. Putting the entire team's offensive pressure on the players who are no longer in these two grades is indeed difficult for some strong people.
Link's goal made Popovich once again suspended the game. The old man could see that after Link lost to Leonard the day before yesterday, he must have done extremely detailed research on Leonard.
God knows how many game videos he watched. In short, Link completely captured all of Leonard's weaknesses today.
This kind of opponent is really terrible!
"Stephen, you play and continue to grind with Link. Consume him, interfere with him, so that his scoring is no longer so smooth. We have not finished playing, no one can give up! I can only accept that we have a 2-0 score Going to Memphis, other results are not ideal, understand!?"
Popovich decided to use "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson to confront Link. Leonard has been proven unable to play a role.
After the game restarted, Popovich glanced at Leonard. The boy was expressionless, but his fist kept clenching.
It must be very unwilling.
He is clearly known for his defense, but today he has become a backdrop for Link to show his all-around offensive skills.
"You will become a great player sooner or later, but it is not the time. These setbacks are what you must go through." Popovich watched Leonard mutter to himself, and then returned his attention to it. On the game.
Stephen Jackson once won the Spurs championship, and his defense at that time was also quite fierce.
But the hero does not mention that it was brave that year. You want to make the 34-year-old Stephen Jackson play the same ten years ago, which is obviously not realistic.
Stephen Jackson played against Link when he was in the Bobcats last season. At that time, Jackson was already very slow in his lateral movement for Link. What's more, it is Link who has become stronger in all aspects.
After the timeout came back for the first offense, Duncan's jumper jumped out of the box. Gasol is not a fuel-efficient lamp on the defensive end, coupled with Duncan's physical decline, these all affect Duncan's shooting percentage.
And this offense did not make it, and it was a huge blow to the Spurs. Because this means that the Grizzlies will have the opportunity to widen the difference to double digits!
Conley didn't play complicated. Seeing Link wanted the ball, he obediently handed over the ball.
Link met Stephen Jackson from beyond the three-point line, confident. Fighting Leonard has survived, let alone a "martial sage" who has been unable to fight.
After holding the ball, Link first made a few tentative steps, and after shaking Jackson's center of gravity, he immediately stopped the shot with a cross step.
Killer!
Elegant and unrestrained, the basketball enters the net without any suspense. Jackson is only surprised. Link ends the offense!
"brush!"
"Exactly, the Grizzlies have taken the biggest lead today!"
"Hey!" Popovich sighed. Link got stronger and stronger, and the guy's progress rate was even faster than the Spurs' reinforcement.
Last year, a Richard Jefferson was abused by Link. This year, Leonard and Jackson were replaced by stronger players, but Link was still unable to do so.
Popovich then made a few gestures, and he motioned for the Spurs to double-team! Faced with this kind of guy, there is only a double team!
So it was time for Link to perform his passing skills. Link is not Leonard, facing double teams, his efficiency has always been very high. In the first round of being double-teamed, Link delivered the ball to Tony Allen with a wonderful pass.
Although Tony Allen's mid-range shot failed to hit, it scared Popovich in a cold sweat. Double teaming seems very limited to Link, and he can still find teammates in the open.
After seeing the Spurs starting to double-team, Hollins immediately replaced Tony Allen with Ponte Sett. In this way, the Grizzlies can shoot from all five positions! As long as Link can pass the ball, the Grizzlies can score! Tony Allen's embarrassment of not making an open shot will no longer exist.
So Link delivered 4 assists in one breath in the last few minutes, until the electronic buzzer sounded ~EbookFREE.me~ This was a loss that San Antonio fans did not want to see! Link had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. He helped the Grizzlies win the game by 11 points and moved the series to a 1-1 draw! This also means that the Grizzlies will return to Memphis with home court advantage as Link said! "
At the end of the game, the entire San Antonio City became extremely lost. In the second game of the Link series, he scored a double-double and also played as high efficiency as ever. In other words, the Spurs didn't really limit him at all.
Those who were crushed by Link in a single fetish were just lying to themselves.
Link's low performance in the first game seemed like a nap, and now, the predator woke up.
After the game, Popovich looked solemn, completely without the joking appearance before the game. After losing 11 points, how could Popovich laugh.
When asked "why Leonard was completely suppressed by Link today", Popovich thought about it for a while, then spoke slowly.
"I don't know how he did it. He seems to know all the shortcomings and moves of Leonard. As long as Leonard holds the ball, Link knows how to deal with him. He is very strong, really, we You have to keep pressure on him."
Popovich finished speaking and wiped his face. There were already enough monsters in the west.
A player who can catch the opponent's shortcomings... Popovich seriously thought about it. Before this, only Kobe could achieve this extreme!
Link is not Kobe, and now he has become as dangerous as a viper.
Popovich felt a lot of pressure instantly, and he and his team were going to the of Tennessee again.
Will the nightmare of last season reappear?
