Chapter 771 (1/2)
With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, link broke through and was directly hit by big baby Davis.
”Big baby” managed to stop link's direct goal, but there was no doubt that he had a defensive foul for his rough and violent action.
Link got up and shook his head. The Clippers played a really unfriendly game. He can't remember how many times he has been hit today. The more famous he is, the more times you will be violated in key games.
A lot of the Clippers fouls, link felt that it was no problem to blow malicious fouls.
Link is only happy that he is in the 21st century. If it were in the 1990s, the game might turn into a wrestling war.
But fortunately, link doesn't have to endure for long. Because if the two free throws were all hit, the game would be over.
”Link is on the free throw line. The Clippers foul won't work. Let link stand on the free throw line, and give link two points directly
Hubie Brown said confidently that link made few mistakes at the free throw line. Now the Grizzlies are 20 points ahead of the clippers, and if link makes two free throws, then the garbage time can come ahead of time.
Today's performance of the clippers is the same as usual, starting from the first quarter, the state gradually declined. In each section, the difference is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that the Clippers still have no hope.
Eight minutes to catch 22 points, for the clippers, this is a difficult task. It seems that they are destined to be the backdrop for link's MVP night.
Link took two deep breaths, trying to make his breath even.
In fact, there is no problem with the free throw technique of most NBA stars. Even for the stars like Howard and James, who are generally recognized as not good at free throws, they can make a hundred hits in the training field.
Let alone professional players, is a lot of basketball fans, free throw hit rate will not be too low.
The reason why some stars get low free throw percentage in the game is that few people can grasp the shooting rhythm after strong confrontation. Those basketball fans who claim to be more accurate than Howard in their free throws will also have lower hit rates if they go to run a few turns and then free throw.
As a result, link is very concerned about his breathing rate in free throws. As long as the adjustment of breathing, coupled with superb shooting skills, it is enough to ensure a high hit rate on the free throw line.
With this trick, link again made two free throws on the free throw line. The 22 point gap was on the Clippers' shoulders, and grizzly fans were celebrating ahead of time.
Link got the MVP and the Grizzlies won, which was a perfect night for the fans.
The Clippers called the game to a halt, and Doug rivers folded his waist in the field, as if thinking about how to deal with the reporters' tricky questions after the game. The Grizzlies clapped each other excitedly, as if they were already celebrating their second victory in the series.
Hobby Brown is happy that the Grizzlies can keep all two home games without wasting home advantage.
All aspects of the game were perfect, the only regret is that link's 30 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds data failed to surpass Durant.
But it doesn't matter. Winning is always more important than personal data. Basketball games are hard to be perfect.
”Link, take a rest. In the last eight minutes, you won't be there. ” The first thing after Dave Joel's pause was to change link to rest.
Link has been subjected to a lot of gross violations today, and the risk of injury is too high if link is left on the court.
Sometimes, some injuries can be avoided. If link gets hurt in garbage time, it's not worth it.
In order to ensure that the playoffs can go smoothly, Joel hopes to protect link in the last eight minutes. Anyway, the Grizzlies are 22 points ahead, and even without link, they are unlikely to lose.
Link hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly and agreed with Joel's decision. It's a little early to leave the game in eight minutes, but with the Clippers in their current state, it's estimated that they can't turn the game back.
Link believes his free throw has killed the Clippers.
Joel replaced link with Jimmy Butler. After the suspension, the Grizzlies sent out a mixed lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Butler, Randolph and Azeri.
On the court, the situation is not safe for Dorothy.
The last eight minutes of the game would have passed without surprise.
After a pause, the Clippers began to attack. Unlike the Grizzlies, the Clippers didn't replace the main players. In fact, it is also normal that the side behind the big score will leave the main players on the field even after knowing that the situation is irretrievable.
After all, it's not very nice to hold a white flag directly.
Chris Paul takes the baseline and starts to press forward. As he pushed forward, Paul took a look at link.Link is chatting with the little Gasol beside him, as if he has clocked out of work.
Paul clenched his teeth and quickened his pace.
Just after the break, Paul told the crew, ”follow me, we still have a chance to win.”
No one noticed that the clipper leader was acting on his own.
On the first attack after pausing back, Paul had a pick and roll with Jamal Crawford near the midfield line. The purpose of the pick and roll between guards is not to block a breakthrough, but to force Grizzlies to change defense!
Defensive ace Tony Allen is in front of Paul and Conley is defending Crawford.
See the formation of transposition, Paul a throw the ball to the Clippers this season the only personal honor Crawford hands.
In the second half of the last game, Conley's defense against Crawford was quite good. Against Crawford, Conley doesn't think he's at a disadvantage.
Crawford began his fancy dribble performance, Conley took two steps back to defend Crawford's breakthrough.
