: Ninety: Responsibility at critical moments (2/40)

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads!
Chris Paul had been staring at himself after seeing Link dunking, and found it very interesting.
What does it mean? Is this undrafted challenge to yourself? Paul is not a player who will underestimate his opponents at will. He admits that Link is very powerful. His ability is beyond the reach of ordinary draft picks and even some first-round rookies.
But no matter how good the guy is, he is just a role player, not a superstar! Paul will not be bluffed by a role player or a supplementary deduction, which will not have a decisive impact on the game.
Paul continued to perform his duties as a commander. This smart No. 3 managed the Hornets’ offense in an orderly manner, and his pick-and-rolls with David West played well.
On the other hand, Mike Conley's performance today was unexpectedly outstanding. Perhaps because of the game against super guards, Conley is more and more brave today. Although Paul's defense is very tough, Conley always seizes fleeting opportunities.
In addition, Link also gave Belinelli a headache today. The Italian is not a player who is good at defensively, and Link's various offensive methods have made Bellinelli's face dull.
Of course, the two teams have good players, and naturally there are also bad players.
Ariza has played a very good role in restricting Rudy Gay today. The defensive third player makes Gay at a loss. Not surprisingly, today Gay will play another high-scoring and inefficient game.
Ariza also had a bad hand today. He received Paul's pass several times, but failed to convert the opportunity into a score.
The two teams have been clinging to the score in mutual restraint and restraint, alternately leading. Paul did not expect that the "incompetent" Grizzlies would cause such a big trouble to his team, and the Grizzlies did not expect the Hornets to be as determined to win as theirs.
The point difference has been wandering within 5 points, and the game reached the fourth quarter in this anxious situation.
In the stands, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were full of praise for the game. The TV station did not expect it to be wrong, and the excitement of this game is definitely the best today.
In the last 42 seconds of the game, Rudy Gay made a jump shot from beyond the three-point line to make Link sweat. After all, Gay's shooting percentage today is really horribly low. At the critical moment, he actually jumped directly on his own, which had to make Link admire Guy's psychological quality.
What he admired was not that Gay dared to shoot at the last moment, but that he still dared to use the team's victory or defeat as a bet to shoot even when he was so inaccurate.
Fortunately, this time Rudy Gay showed the qualities he should have as a star. Guy's dry jump shot into the net, and the entire Smoothie King Center sighed at that moment.
"The goal is scored! Rudy Gay really dare to shoot at the critical moment! Today Gay's shooting percentage has fallen below 40%, but he is still not afraid to shoot!"
"Yes, this is the role of the stars. Even if they have been unsuccessful in the previous game, they should not underestimate their ability to end the game at critical moments. Gay's three-pointer helped the Grizzlies lead the Hornets in the final 42 seconds. 2 points. For the Grizzlies, this is a huge advantage!"
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley gave Guy unanimous praise, but Link could not agree. Guy’s shot was too risky just now, he was just joking about the team’s victory.
2 points behind at the critical moment, Chris Paul is still calm. After coming back from the timeout, Paul's organization outside the three-point line was still stable, without the slightest rush.
This time, Paul first passed the ball to Belinelli. But Belinelli, who is generally performing today, is not an offensive point, he just plays a role in transferring the ball.
Originally Belinelli would be one of the most important offensive points for the Hornets today, but Link obviously did not let Belinelli play Korver's performance.
As of now, Belinelli has only 8 points in the account. And he has already let Link score 20 points!
That's right, Link has scored 20 points today. Both he and Mike Conley have contributed 20+ points for the team with limited shots.
Had it not been for Rudy Gay to have a lot of shots, they would have scored even higher today.
After receiving the ball, Belinelli immediately returned the ball to Paul, who had already taken the off-ball screen to go beyond the three-point line.
After receiving the basketball, Paul directly lifted the ball, as if he wanted to return a three-pointer!
Mike Conley reacted immediately and flew out. He knew that as long as the ball was guarded, the Grizzlies would have touched the victory with one hand.
However, as soon as Conley took off, he regretted it. Because he found that Paul's feet were only the heels off the ground, this guy didn't plan to jump at all!
Sure enough, in the next second, Paul flashed in with the ball ghostly, and he successfully broke through Conley!
Walking to the middle distance, Paul rushed to a jump shot. The mid-range jumper is Paul's skill, he almost never misses.
"brush!"
"Fuck!" Link yelled, but it wasn't that he was dissatisfied with Conley, but his emotions were not controlled.
At the end of the game, the Hornets even equalized the score, which made Link a little unwilling.
"Chris Paul, he drove Conley with ease. This guy can calmly make false shots at critical moments. He is truly one of the strongest point guards in the league. I still retain my opinion. Charles. I think the Hornets will win because they have Chris Paul at the critical moment. On the Grizzlies' side, there are not many players who can handle the ball at the critical moment. Before the game, you said Link can show excellent performance. Indeed, he performed very well today. But where is he at the critical moment?"
Kenny Smith was talking, and he started fighting with Barkley again. In fact, this is also the most attractive place for this pair of ace combinations.
"The game is not over yet, Kenny, let's draw conclusions after watching the game." Barkley didn't want to pay much attention to Kenny Smith. But he really has no reason to refute.
Indeed, Link seemed to have disappeared at the critical moment. This is not to blame Link, mainly because Link can not get the ball at the critical moment.
Although he and Kenny Smith are old acquaintances, Barkley does not want to lose face. So deep down, Barkley still hopes that Link can show up and stop the mouth of his old friend and opponent.
If you can't get the ball, you can make up the deductions like at the beginning of the game.
On the court, the Grizzlies started offensive 28 seconds before the end of the game. The Hornets scored a quick goal just now, which gave them at least one opportunity to attack. Although that attack, there may only be 4 seconds.
There is no doubt that Conley will use up all his time with this ball, squeezing the Hornets' offense as long as possible.
Conley froze outside the three-point line, waiting for seconds to pass. Paul is not in a hurry to grab the robbery. At this time, if the steal is gambling, it is no different from suicide.
Conley kept the ball in the zone between the midfield line and the three-point line until there were 8 seconds left in the game before he gave the ball to Guy who came out!
"It's Rudy Gay. The Grizzlies' final shot is still Rudy Gay!"
As soon as Guy received the basketball, Randolph and Gasol’s double screens were in place! Link pulled to the right bottom corner, ready to make up the knife at any time.
Gay took the ball and walked around Randolph, ready to return Paul an emergency jumper. But what he didn't expect was that Ariza quickly bypassed the cover and posted it!
Seeing this situation, Link hurriedly cut to the basket, as long as Guy can find himself and turn a shot into a pass, he can end the game.
Unfortunately, Guy did not pass the ball. He forced the shot against Ariza's defense, and eventually caused the basketball to knock out!
"The ball didn't score, it didn't! Rudy Gay handled the last goal a bit too recklessly. Last time he scored it recklessly, but this time, it was not so lucky! The Hornets still have 6 seconds of offense. Time, they paused! Now, the Hornets have a chance to kill the game!"
Kenny Smith yelled excitedly on the commentary stage. Just as excited as him are the tens of thousands of Hornets fans in the Smoothie Kings Center.
Guy shook his head unwillingly. He felt that he should have killed the game. As everyone knows, he has now begun to be rejected by some teammates.
Barkley also sighed. Just now he saw Link who cut in. Belinelli didn't follow. That was a great opportunity!
But the view of the basketball court from the commentary is completely different from the view on the court. Maybe Guy didn't really see Link, instead of deliberately not passing the ball. After all, not all forwards have the same vision as Link and Hill.
"Be sure to hold! From the time the opponent kicks the ball, we must put pressure on them! But remember, never foul! If we send the opponent to the free throw line, everything we did today will fall short." During the timeout, Hollins didn't say anything else, he put all his energy into the defensive end.
Link listened carefully to Hollins' layout, and at the same time he was thinking about the offensive tactics the Hornets might use. Today is so close to the victory of the game, he and Paul have not yet divided the victory. If it just loses, Link will succumb to death.
The bombing by Korver yesterday was already frustrating enough, and Link didn't want to repeat the old way.
The timeout was over, and the Hornets played confidently. The Grizzlies players are waiting, and Link has been thinking about the past several offenses and predicting the offensive strategies the Hornets will use later.
The Hornets sent a sideline kick, and David West gave it to Paul. But Paul did not play directly, but handed the ball to Link's counterpoint Bellinelli.
Link crossed to Belinelli, but suddenly remembered the Hornets offense last round! If it's not wrong, then Belinelli's next step should be...
Paul borrowed West's cover to go outside the three-point line, and the guy West made a small move when setting up the pick-and-roll, moving a small step. Strictly speaking, West has moved to cover violations. But as long as the referee does not see it, it is a good shot.
Under West's little action, Conley was completely blocked, Paul completely got rid of Conley, and now, Paul is waiting for Bellinelli to pass the ball over!
The Hornets No. 3's eyes were fixed on his Italian teammate, and he also saw the No. 0 defending Bellinelli.
I have to admit that Paul admires the strength of that number 0. He used a variety of offensive methods today, and was stupefied to score 20 points on Belinelli.
But in basketball games, there is only one winner. Paul believes that he will win!
"I'm sorry, Asian boy!" Seeing Belinelli was about to take the ball, Paul said goodbye to Link in his heart.
However ~EbookFREE.me~ At the moment Belinelli passed the ball, Link stretched out his long arm and abruptly intercepted Belinelli's pass!
Paul's eyes widened, and it was impossible in terms of human response to intercept the basketball at such a close distance!
Unless...unless he had expected Belinelli to pass the ball to himself!
"Bellinelli's ball didn't pass, it was intercepted by Link! God, who can tell me what magical reaction speed it is! Link did it almost at the same time that Bellinelli started to pass the ball. There was a reaction! This...this is unreasonable!"
Kenny Smith has been a bit incoherent, he has never seen such a steal before explaining basketball games for so many years.
Link grabbed the basketball and threw it to the front court at will. At the same time, the timer on the backboard rang. Although Link missed a long-range shot, his steals disrupted the Hornets' final attack and helped the Grizzlies drag the game into overtime.
"Damn it!" Paul looked at Link. He even thought he was going to win. Unexpectedly, that kid actually forcibly changed the situation.
When the meat in the mouth is taken away by others, whoever puts it on will feel angry!
"Did you see it!? What am I talking about!? That kid will never disappear at a critical moment, absolutely!" One second, Kenny Smith was still dancing, and the next second, this person became Barkley.
On the court, Link has been surrounded by teammates. With Conley already lost, as long as Paul can catch the ball, he can probably kill the game. Therefore, it can be said that Link saved the fate of the entire Grizzlies team. He did not complete the lore, but did something that may be more difficult than the lore.
Paul sat down on the court annoyed, the face of the Asian boy in his head.
It seems that their battle will have to continue.
