It is not the first time that Link has disappointed opposing fans. Whenever people think that the Grizzlies will be in trouble or that Link will encounter difficulties, the facts are often very different from what people think.
But all the fans in Indianapolis never expected that things would be so disappointing.
In their expectations, the Pacers should be closer to victory than the Blazers two days ago. In their expectations, Paul George should have a wonderful confrontation with Link. In their expectations, this should be a fierce preview of the finals!
However, the current situation is that the Pacers trailed by 14 points in the last four minutes of the final quarter. When Link had scored 28 points lightly, Paul George's score had not yet reached 20.
The grandstands of the Consecco Arena are mostly empty, and many Pacers fans have left early because they can't stand the humiliation.
Larry Bird, who was sitting in the luxurious box, had his eyes dull. 24 hours ago, he told reporters with vigour, "We are the best team."
But now, he himself thinks that sentence is very funny.
Bird's pretending to be a player never overturned, but at this time...this is also the reason Bird did not like to pretend in recent years. After all, now, his fate is not in his own hands.
But what makes Bird most sad is not pretending to fail, but the huge gap between the Pacers and the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are undoubtedly one of the most powerful championship contenders this season. If the Pacers want to win the championship, they must be prepared to fight the Grizzlies.
But judging from the results of today's game, the Pacers do not yet have the ability to cause trouble for the Grizzlies. If this is a seven-game four-win series, Bird estimates that the Pacers can only win one game at most!
Such a situation makes Bird see no hope for the championship. He did not expect that the first distance championship in the East would still be so far away.
At the same time, on the court, George's confidence was completely destroyed.
He has only scored 12 points today, and his hit rate has fallen below 30%! He spent the whole game in the sound of iron strikes.
If someone other than the Pacers had stood up, the difference might be even greater now.
It is not his poor performance that makes George even more desperate, but Link's excellent performance, which is completely opposite to him.
Link beat George out of temper today, and George suffered a lot from both offense and defense. In front of Link, George felt as if he was back in his rookie season. Facing a powerful opponent, he is too weak to do anything.
But obviously in the last game, both sides could barely draw a tie. Obviously last summer, the two have been sticking together for training.
George thought he was about to catch up with Link, just like two cars chasing fiercely on the track. George is about to overtake. He has found the route, set the gear, and is ready to go.
But Link turned his head in the rearview mirror and smiled slightly, increased the throttle, and easily threw George away, waiting for George to chase him.
Every time you think you can catch up with him, he can throw you away. This sense of frustration has completely occupied George's heart at this time.
Hill used a nice hit to pass the ball from the crowded inside line to the left corner. There, Paul George is on standby.
At this time, there are still a small number of Pacers fans shouting for the home team players. They still think that the Pacers still have a chance.
George received the basketball, and the fans expected him to make a beautiful long shot. In this way, the points difference is only 11 points!
Chasing 11 minutes in more than four minutes, this is not an impossible task.
In normal times, George will definitely take a decisive shot, step forward, lead the team through the difficulties, and detonate the stands at the Conseco Arena.
But today, George hesitated after receiving the basketball. Because he saw Link leaping towards him with teeth and claws, it made him feel stressed!
The entire game was suppressed by Link, and Paul George's self-confidence was destroyed long ago.
In the end, George didn't make the long shot as people expected. After Link pushed up, George had no choice but to hand the ball to Stephenson.
When the Pacers needed George the most, he chose to pass and he flinched!
In the stands, the Pacers fans who had just raised their arms and shouted put down their hands, their eyes were lonely, and there was no more sound.
Their only hope, just extinguished.
"Stevenson received the basketball and he wanted to single out Tony Allen. Lance tried to break through to the layup. This shot was too easy! Sure enough, Tony cut off the basketball when Stephenson took off and layup. The Pacers made another mistake. This was their 19th time in this game! God, the Pacers made frequent mistakes under the Grizzlies defense today!"
Reggie Miller just finished speaking, Tony Allen assisted Conley to counterattack, widening the points difference to 16 points!
Conseco Arena was deadly, preventing the Grizzlies from breaking the last line of defense of 72 wins, just like the Maginot line that France claimed "never be breached" during World War II was easily broken by the Grizzlies.
Off the court, Pacers coach Frank Vogel shook his head helplessly. He could no longer do useful things.
When the star of a team is destroyed, it is difficult to change the game. The most powerful weapons are gone, what else can you use to fight?
Link, that terrible guy, is doing all "inhumane" things.
Two minutes later, both coaches changed their main lineups. This also means that the expected battle ended in garbage time.
Reggie Miller sat in the commentary booth, his eyes sluggish. He really didn't expect this game to be like this, he thought George could at least tie Link.
But in the end, their stats were 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, plus 2 steals and 1 block.
The gap between the two sides can be seen clearly from the data, and it is even more terrible from the scene.
"This game was too unexpected, Reggie, before the game you thought that George could cause Link to trouble, but in fact George didn't hurt Link at all today! What do you think of this? What caused this? result?"
Miller’s commentary partner has already begun to summarize the game in advance, otherwise there is nothing to say to a bunch of substitute players who are killing time.
Miller was silent for a while, then sighed.
"I can only say...Before the game, we didn't expect Link to be so strong."
The one who once pushed Jordan away to complete the lore, has never feared any opponent's historical three-pointer. However, in 2014, the Conseco Arena was conquered by a losing draft.
Finally, the game ended with a score of. The Grizzlies had a 17-point victory at Conseco Arena, and the Pacers were eager to take the step that the Blazers failed to take ~EbookFREE.me~ but in the end they realized that they were far more than a step away from victory. .
Paul George only shot 20% of the field goal percentage, ranking bottom among all players on the team. No Pacers scored 20 points, and David West, the highest-scoring player, only scored 18 points.
The whole game almost set the tone from the first quarter. From the first quarter, the Pacers have been doing one thing-chasing points.
They have never won a one-minute advantage or lead. In front of the tough Grizzlies, the Eastern Conference is extremely weak!
After the game, George hugged Link with his head down and left without saying a word.
Looking at George's desolate back, Link curled his lips. Did he act too hard today?
A full-name idol and people's hope were ruthlessly destroyed by Link.
Hmm... it was really ruthless. The NBA story once again ended with the victory of the "villain".
After this game, the Grizzlies have achieved a gorgeous record of 63 wins and 5 losses. The Pacers have won two of the three hardest games in March.
People have recognized a fact: Even if the Grizzlies really lose to the Heat tomorrow, it will not have much impact on their 72-win goal.
All the fans need to do is to wait for the historical moment to come!
They don't dare to hold any hope for Link's opponent anymore, because Link specifically destroys hope!
