: Six hundred and eighty-nine: On the verge of being angry

The game was dragged into overtime under extremely dramatic circumstances, and the San Antonio people thought they had completed their revenge. As everyone knows, the grizzly bear who was seriously injured got up from the ground again and waved the bear's paw fiercely, making the spurs bloody.
Popovich resisted his inner anger and returned to the bench. He thought Link would be like a docile lamb to swallow his own mockery. But unexpectedly, Link was completely an angry bull now.
No, it's a mad dog!
The old man is not reconciled, how could that kind of ball just be possible? The ball had already bounced to the middle distance, and Link froze in a very short time and hit the ball with one hand at such a long distance.
As if even God didn't want the Grizzlies to lose, Popovich was really unwilling.
After the lore, he was rebelled against the lore. Although the Grizzlies only dragged the game into overtime, it was still tantamount to stealing the Spurs' victory.
Fortunately, Link just equalized. If it was a lore, God knows if Popovich will faint because of the soaring blood pressure.
But now that the facts have been formed, there is no need to entangle what has happened.
Popovich calmed down his emotions, then picked up the tactical board and prepared for the game again.
"This time, we have to bring the Grizzlies down!" Popovich yelled, and he did not allow himself and the Spurs to fail again.
On the other hand, Link was not overly excited by that beautiful tip.
After the penalty result came out, Link just groaned and didn't make any more celebrations.
Link knew that he was just equalizing the score. The final outcome is not certain.
"Great job, Link, you saved the game again. In the next overtime, we can't be led away anymore. Everyone is cheering up, we should fight back!"
Georgel did not slack off either, and immediately picked up the tactical board to write and draw.
However, in fact, the role that the coaches of both sides can play is very limited. Playing for 48 minutes has not yet been able to decide the outcome, which means that both sides have not completely killed each other.
If tactics can solve the problem, the game will be over long ago.
Therefore, the winning or losing of overtime depends more on the players' performance.
Before he played, Link glanced at Conley beside him. Conley scored 24 points in the game today, and Link only had 24 points including the last-minute tip-ups.
In addition, Conley's 52.2% hit rate is also very good and efficient. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and shot 60%.
With Conley's defense, Parker has hit only 41.7% of his field goals so far. Only scored 10 points.
No matter how you look at it, Conley's performance today is very good, absolutely all-star level.
But before the start of overtime, Conley looked lonely, as if he had no confidence at all.
There is no doubt that the last miss of the lore made Conley lose his confidence.
So Link patted Conley on the shoulder before going on the court. He didn't want to drag the game into overtime, but accepted the same ending as before.
"Mike, cheer up, I still need your help, buddy." Link smiled at Conley. Sometimes, a smile from his teammates' trust is more effective than a thousand words.
"Sorry Link... I should have killed the game." Conley shook his head, and sure enough, he was still immersed in the missed shot.
"Yeah, I think so too. No, the game is not over yet, you still have a chance to kill the game. Let's go Mike, it's time for us to play."
After Link finished speaking, he rushed onto the court from Conley's side. Suddenly, the Federal Express Arena burst into violent cheers.
Conley nodded slightly, yes, the game is not over yet!
Let me you, Link!
"At the beginning of overtime, the Grizzlies' starting lineup did not change. But on the Spurs side, coach Popovich transferred Ginobili, who was nearly killed, to the starting lineup and replaced Danny Green. I. I believe that even if the Grizzlies drag the game into overtime, the game is still not easy for them. The Spurs have won the basketball, and the game will start again!"
Popovich was on the sidelines in the first second of overtime, frowning and sweeping away his former kind face.
He now looks like a villain with gray hair.
The Spurs' offense is exactly the same as the regular season time, and their "onion" offense is kept very tight.
In the final round of regular time, Ginobili caused a small and big dislocation, which ultimately cost the Grizzlies.
In the first round of overtime, the Spurs caused a big dislocation.
In this offense, Duncan suddenly cut in while giving his teammates off the ball screen, forcing the Grizzlies to switch defenses.
Later, Duncan easily leaned on Iguodala to make a layup after receiving the basketball in the low post.
Popovich slammed his fist, and now every goal the Spurs scores is a kind of refreshing vent for Popovich.
If you can't kill a grizzly bear once, kill them twice!
Link curled his lips. Although the Spurs' offense was indeed reasonable, it wouldn't work without containment.
So this time before the Grizzlies started offense, Link patted Iguodala on the back, "I'll switch to Duncan in the next round."
Duncan and Leonard made Link uncomfortable for the whole game, and now it's time to fight back.
But before defending Duncan, Link must lead the team to play the offense well.
The Spurs' defense is as tight as regular season time, and Leonard is like the shadow of Link, who can't get rid of it.
Duncan was ready to reinforce Link in the interior at any time. The Spurs' two forwards relied on this double line of defense today to be able to contain Link.
Although Link now has 24 points in the account, but leaving aside the last-minute tipping, he scored 22 points in four quarters, which is not a high score for Link.
Superstars are like this, they cannot be completely locked. But as long as it can be contained, the defense is successful. Today, Link was stopped by Leonard and Duncan.
When Link connected to the basketball from the three-point line, it was obvious that Leonard and Duncan were complementary.
Link paused and made several gestures.
When Gasol saw this, he immediately took cover, so that the Brazilian Splitter had to follow.
Gasol's mid-range shooting is still very deterrent. In this overtime where every goal determines the final victory, Split did not dare to let Gasol take it easily.
Just when everyone thought Link was going to break through with a screen, Link hit the ground vigorously and sent the ball to Conley who cut into the penalty area!
Link's passing accuracy is as accurate as his shooting, and Conley steadily receives the basketball and hits the basket.
Duncan had to defend Link, so he stood very forward, allowing Conley to cut in from behind.
Splitter has followed Gasol out, so the Spurs have no defensive ability at the basket.
It was then that Popovich suddenly realized that Link had commanded for so long not to score goals, but to create opportunities for Conley!
Conley made a two-step layup easily, and the score was tied again!
Popovich wanted to yell, but he suffocated it when he reached his mouth. Because the Spurs are indeed defending in accordance with Popovich's requirements, but Link did not attack according to his expectations.
Conley no longer thinks about things like All-Stars anymore. The only thing he wants to do at this time is to help Link win the game! Therefore, I am more focused
Popovich gritted his teeth, but he believes that the Spurs will soon make the Grizzlies pay the price.
Lin Ke is ready, the Spurs have no offensive focus, so they will treat everyone as their offensive focus.
The Spurs' tactics this time are exactly the same as they were just now. Parker and Split played in cooperation on the right, but the actual offensive point was Duncan, who was making a ball-free screen for his teammates!
Sure enough, Duncan turned and cut inside after giving Green an off-the-ball screen. At the same time, Parker tacitly dropped the ball in.
Seeing Duncan steadily catch the basketball, Popovich relaxed a lot in an instant. This time an attack, there will be no accidents!
Duncan thinks so too. As long as he can receive a basketball in the low post and play a big game, Duncan thinks he will not miss.
But this time, when Duncan raised his basketball to attack the rim, he realized that the defender had become Link!
"Link's defense is very fast, Iguodala also immediately blocked Leonard, did not give the Spurs any extra opportunities! Duncan is still a big player, but whether he can play the advantage, but not necessarily Up!"
Hubby Brown is confident of Link's defensive ability. Even if he defends, he is one of the best power forwards in league history.
Duncan's first feeling after the confrontation with Link was that he was struggling. Although Link was a third player, he did not fail to fight against the inside.
But Duncan did not stop because of Link's toughness. He still raised his arm and layup!
Duncan is 2.11 meters tall, a full 8 cm taller than Link.
But Duncan has almost no bounce ability now, and Link has springs on the soles.
Link jumped up abruptly, stupefied to make up for his height disadvantage by jumping.
At the moment Duncan shot, Link's hand also blocked the flight path of the basketball.
In the end, the basketball was fanned by Link and the "Stone Buddha" was flew by Link!
"Unexpectedly completed the block, Link actually blocked Duncan! This time the defense is so good, Link did not give Duncan any chance!"
After Link landed, he saw Conley had picked up the basketball and made a fast break. So Link hurried to keep up, was defended by Duncan all night, and now finally exhaled!
This time, Conley didn't give the Spurs a chance to play. He completed the fast break with his extremely fast speed, scoring 4 points for Ash.
Now that the Spurs have become the lagging side, the situation has suddenly changed.
Popovich is a little nervous, and it's okay to play an extra time. But if you play one extra time and you lose, it is unacceptable.
Link and Conley gave a light high-five, their attack and defense made the Spurs instantly passive.
The tactics are still the same tactics, and the people are still the same group of people just now. But Link and Conley's performance was even better than before.
Two points behind, the Spurs are still calm, running their tactics according to the rules.
The Spurs conduct the ball as quickly and accurately as always, and you rarely see Spurs players passing the ball themselves.
But what if the Spurs take the initiative to make mistakes?
The Spurs' onion offense is really superb, but it's not perfect. This time, Parker was just about to return the ball to Ginobili, who was outside the three-point line, but Link suddenly rushed out and intercepted the basketball before the Argentine.
"When did he come here!?" Ginobili looked dumbfounded. How did Link know that this ball would be passed to self-sufficiency?
After playing a whole game, Link has actually learned some of the Spurs' offensive routines.
Although the Spurs have many tricks in positional battles, it is impossible to repeat them throughout the game.
As long as Link can correctly judge the opponent's intention, he can easily get the ball in his pocket.
And because Link suddenly rushed out to steal, so immediately after the steal, he can start a fast break!
"Stop him!" Popovich let out a desperate roar. If Link scores again, the Spurs will be 4 points behind!
In overtime, even if it is only 4 points behind, it is undoubtedly very dangerous.
Leonard gritted his teeth and quickly approached Link. As a third position, Leonard has averaged 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks per game this season. There is no doubt that this is the defensive data of the best defensive team level.
Leonard's defensive performance this season is obvious to all, thanks to his long arms, blocks and steals in pursuit are all Leonard's strengths.
But for this ball, Leonard is destined to not be able to steal from behind, because Link's dribble is so good, if he rashly steals, it will not bring any other results except fouls.
Therefore, Leonard decided to continue to press Link, following him to the basket, waiting for the opportunity to block!
Link glanced back before jumping off the frame and saw Leonard following behind him.
But what is terrible is that the ball counterattacked a bit too quickly, and the other Grizzlies were too fast to get in place.
So even if Link wanted to pass, he didn't have a pass goal. But if it stops. That would be a waste of a fast break opportunity.
Link gritted his teeth and decided to break ground on Tai Sui's head!
With Leonard closely behind, Link resolutely chose to jump and layup!
Leonard's reaction speed is very fast, almost from the moment Link lifted the basketball, he jumped.
"Get rid of him, get rid of him, get rid of him..." Popovich mumbled off the court, and all the brats who didn't respect him were destined to have no good ending!
In the air, Leonard felt his palm getting closer and closer to the basketball that Link was holding.
As usual, it seems to be blocked to basketball!
However, when Leonard's palm and the basketball were close together, the distance between them came to an abrupt end!
"What!?" Leonard widened his eyes. He was surprised to find that with his athletic ability and wingspan, he couldn't even touch the basketball in Link's hands!
Although it's only a little bit worse, but it's a lot worse, no difference!
Link jumped very high to avoid Leonard's shot. He seemed to have a flat frame with his head, and his entire forearm was beyond the basket.
In the end, Linkna stopped calling for a layup, but "put" the ball into the box.
Due to inertia, Leonard bumped into Link's forearm at the moment of Link's shot!
The next second, the basketball hits the net, the referee's whistle blows, and Link gets a 2+1 chance!
Then Popovich ran away again.
The frustrated old man scolded the referee a lot of and and the words beginning with F. The final goal in regular time ~EbookFREE.me~The referee had already swallowed his breath.
Now Popovich is scolding again, and the referee is the same as Link-unbearable!
The referee gave Popovich a technical foul, but Popovich still did not stop the abuse. Subsequently, the referee gave the second technical foul in a row without hesitation!
The fans stood up and cheered, because it means Popovich is about to be expelled!
"Go away! I can go back by myself!" Popovich realized that he had been expelled and pushed away everyone who held him. After finishing his suit, he was ready to go to the player tunnel.
The old man originally wanted to leave a dashing back, but when Popovich was about to turn around and leave, he saw Link waving to himself triumphantly!
Popovich kicked the chair off the bench in a fit of anger. This may have been the most angry night in Popovich's decades of career.
This is not because he was expelled, but because Popovich knew that his revenge had failed again.
