One Hundred and Thirty Seven: That Strong Bear Heart

Mike Conley has begun to grab the Knicks' defensive attention over the past few possessions. If Conley scored the first two goals in the fourth quarter, it was because the Knicks underestimated him. Then after two goals, the Knicks players won't be so stupid.

So just a few rounds, Conley has become the key defensive object of the Knicks. There was a pick-and-roll between Link and Conley, and Anthony switched to Conley without even thinking about it. This switch allowed Link to seize the opportunity, and after receiving a pass from Conley, scored a dry pull on Douglas' head.

This goal was also the only goal Link scored in the fourth quarter.

Although it was just an ordinary attack, it gave Link a glimpse of hope. Conley has become a huge threat now, and the Knicks have a roster that makes it impossible to guarantee every defense is complete.

Conley is right, the next few minutes are full of opportunities!

"I'm so proud of your defense, our strangulation keeps the Knicks' offensive efficiency down! They're still 2 points ahead, but they're going downhill! Link, you've done a great job in the last few minutes. , don't carry the psychological burden!"

Link nodded, their strangulation defense just now really put the Knicks in a quagmire. Anthony had scored 27 points before Conley was scolded by Hollins for the timeout. But now that the game is about to end, Anthony's score is 3. That is to say, apart from the unreasonable ultra-long-range three-pointer just now, Anthony has only scored points by free throws during this period.

Link's defensive efficiency has indeed improved qualitatively in these few minutes.

But Link will never be complacent, and letting Anthony score 3 points is definitely not something to be thankful for. He only asks for a few key rounds to come, and he does not make mistakes. As long as it helps the team win, the result is good.

"Conley, keep attacking later, don't let your momentum slow down. It's the last minute, and we didn't get defeated by the Knicks until the last minute. Now, let's defeat them!"

"Roar!"

The Grizzlies roared and stepped back onto the court. Before Link reappeared, Shane stood up and patted him on the shoulder,

"Link, defensive super scorer is like this, sometimes, you may wonder if your efforts are worth it. Don't doubt, I let Kobe Bryant hit nearly 40 points in the playoffs, but I never doubted myself, So I got him to miss a couple of big shots after that. Super scorers are very good scorers, not every time they can stop them. But sometimes, one or two offensive losses are enough to make them lose. victory!"

After Shane finished speaking, he pushed Link onto the court. As a defender, in addition to being tough in style, you must also be tough in your heart. Defense is a test of will. A real super scorer not only destroys your defense, but also destroys your heart.

If a defender concedes early, it's really hopeless.

The game restarted, and the Knicks, who still held a 2-point advantage in the last minute, were full of confidence. Especially Anthony, he was already thinking about how to humiliate Link in front of reporters and pretend B by the way after winning five straight games.

The Grizzlies' offense is still dominated by Conley. If the Grizzlies finally win the game, Conley will definitely become the protagonist today. After all, he single-handedly arranged the Grizzlies' fourth-quarter comeback.

Conley's offense was not complicated. He first gave the ball to Randolph, then cut in and then received Randolph's return pass. Stoudemire's attention was all on Randolph, and before there was time to help defend, Conley easily scored, scored the 22nd point of the game, and tied the score together.

"It's Conley, he's amazing today. Without Conley,

Maybe Cameron can start celebrating the victory. But the game is not over, maybe Cameron can still be the final winner. "

At this time, Anthony has turned his attention from Link to Conley. Any player who dares to snatch victory with him will be targeted by Anthony.

Anthony, who was full of confidence, played singles with the ball in the middle distance on the right side this time. Link seemed to be no longer an opponent to him.

But Link remained focused, watching Anthony's offensive footsteps and judging his intentions. The strangulation is not over, and the Memphis Grizzlies players will never throw up their hands in surrender.

Anthony was very relaxed this time. He dribbled the ball alternately with his left and right hands, and seemed to enjoy Link's unsteady center of gravity.

But this time, Link is as steady as a rock! He knows that these are fake moves by Anthony, and this guy will probably not break through, but will jump directly after shaking the opponent's center of gravity!

The moment he saw Anthony holding the ball in both hands, Link immediately took off and reacted very sensitively! This caused Anthony to just lift the ball over his head, and before he had time to jump, he suffered a big blow!

"Link! It's a light-speed reaction! He blocked Cameron, and it was a defense worth a thousand dollars!"

After Anthony was blocked, he kept complaining to the referee, saying that Link had committed a foul. Nima clearly wanted to humiliate him in the last ball, but he was slapped in the face, and the society couldn't get through it. Are you still in New York in the future?

But the referee could see clearly that Link did use his extremely sensitive reaction to complete the block, and he didn't even touch Anthony at all, so he ignored it.

An angry Anthony then remembered to retreat, but it was too late. Kang used a pass without looking to give Link a chance to cut to the basket. Facing Stoudemire's block, Link took off and pulled the bar very calmly, and made a layup in one go!

"6 points! Link actually performed well today, but Anthony is too dazzling. But I believe that his one block and one goal at a critical moment have already stole Anthony's limelight!"

After the goal, Link pointed to Conley. Conley is really a good commander, and his ability to spot opportunities is more than double that of Douglas. Link's cut was quick and stealthy, but Conley saw and delivered the ball accurately.

"Carmelon! Focus!" On the side of the court, Knicks coach D'Antoni couldn't take it anymore, and he began to yell at the court. Anthony played well all night today, but D'Antoni was a little bit unacceptable just because of arguing with the referee and missing key defenses.

Now Anthony and Moustache are still on their honeymoon, but once the Knicks start losing, it's hard to say how they will get along.

Anthony ignored his coach, only two points, he has the ability to get it.

This time, Stoudemire played Randolph in a post-up single, and the big black bear naturally did his part. "Little Bully" then turned around and broke to the basket, ready to solve the problem with a dunk. But after suddenly reaching the basket, he found that Pau Gasol raised his arms and wrapped it around. Stoudemire's recklessness caused him to be dumped in the penalty area.

Knicks center Jared Jeffries has been an obscure blue-collar in his career, averaging only 6.0 points per game in his career. So Pau Gasol can safely let him go and instead double-team Stoudemire.

D'Antoni's heart twitched, and Stoudemire was a little too confident. Looking at the entire league, no insider dares to single out the black and white bears.

Stoudemire finally passed the ball three seconds before the attack, not to mention the quality of the pass, it is not bad to be double-teamed by the black and white bears and still be able to hit the ball.

The basketball flew towards Anthony, but Link couldn't reach the ball, and finally the ball stumbled and fell into Anthony's hand.

At this point, the Knicks had little time to attack, and Anthony took two steps from the three-point line and then directly pulled up and shot!

"Another shot from beyond the three-point line, can Cameron create a miracle this time!"

Link didn't block Anthony's ball this time, he was afraid of fouling. So I simply learned Shane and sealed Anthony's eyes! On the defensive end, you also need to change your strategy from time to time, so that you can catch the opponent by surprise. This is what Shane taught him.

Anthony was a little stunned when he was suddenly slapped. His shooting posture has been formed, and he can't stop it. But you can't see the rim at all, and it's basically a blind shot.

At mid-range or close range, a super-scorer might still be able to score even if he's blindfolded. But in a blind shot from beyond the three-point line, Anthony is really relying on blindness.

In the end, the basketball hit the backboard directly, without even sticking to the frame, which was outrageous! Link defended the opponent's key attack for the second consecutive round, and he eclipsed Anthony's previous 3 points!

"Damn! Why is this kid's defense so strong!"

Anthony thought that Link had lost his confidence, but in fact, that No. 0 can fight with high spirits!

At this point, with 3 seconds left in the game and the Grizzlies leading by 2, they have plenty of time to play this final blow. And the Knicks won't foul either. For them, there are at least 4 seconds left after the ball is blocked, so there is no need to send the opponent to the free throw line.

This time, the offense and defense will likely directly determine the victory of the game.

The eyes of all Memphis fans were on Conley, and no one knew how the little guard was going to score. At critical moments, he must be the Grizzlies' first shot option. In the fourth quarter, Conley has scored 0 points in a single quarter! If he wins today, he'll be the Grizzlies' greatest hero!

If it is Gay, Mayo, or even Link who is holding the ball now, they will definitely continue to attack by themselves. No one would pass up a chance to kill a game with their own hands when they dominated the fourth quarter!

Conley controlled the ball calmly, and Douglas, who was more than ten kilograms heavier than him, stared nervously opposite him. This is really a small and big big, and the basketball court has never been a place to win based on height and weight alone.

An angry Anthony also looked at Conley, and if needed, he would jump up to defend the guy as soon as possible. He didn't allow anyone to steal his night, not Link, nor Conley.

When the 24 seconds of attacking time were running out, Conley began to alternate dribbling quickly. Douglas couldn't guess which side the guy would break through, because Conley's left and right hands were very balanced.

The second-year guard stepped back in small steps, hoping to distance himself from Conley to prevent him from breaking through. Conley suddenly accelerated to the left, and Douglas also straightened up his strong chest to block it!

However, at the moment when Douglas sealed it, he regretted it. Because he saw Conley nimbly slap the ball under his crotch, switch to his right hand, and accelerate forward!

"Clap!" The sound of the basketball hitting the wooden floor was full of rhythm like a drum beat, and Kang used a beautiful crotch to change direction and sway Douglas!

"Mike Conley, beautiful, he's the king of the end of Memphis! Now, he has a chance to kill the game!"

When Anthony saw this situation, he immediately dropped Link to make up for it. If Conley scored this goal, the Knicks would be very passive. If you are 4 points behind, even if you play foul tactics in the last 4 seconds, it will be difficult to tie and overtake the score!

Conley continued to get to the basket with the ball. People said he was the son of an Olympic champion, that he was Oden's younger brother, that he was the Bears' second-in-command, that he was overdrafted. Even though he has always been so good, he has never been praised by others.

Now, an opportunity lay before him. He has a chance to kill the game while dominating the fourth quarter, a chance to contribute a quasi-lore. Considering how people will praise him after this game, maybe no one will ever say Conley is just a sidekick.

As long as he shoots and scores the ball. All doubts will disappear.

Anthony has rushed to Conley, he is the only obstacle to Conley. Shoot and score and Conley gets everything he wants!

But he didn't, and in the end, under Anthony's astonished gaze, Conley passed the ball! Seeing Anthony's terrified expression, Conley smiled smugly.

What if you say I'm a lieutenant? What if I say I live under the aura of others? He doesn't care what other people say! The only thing he cared about was the collective victory.

He is a selfless man.

Link caught Conley's pass steadily, and he has been on guard, because he has not forgotten what Conley said to himself, "The next few crucial rounds are full of opportunities!"

"It's a pass, Link! Can he kill the game!? Can he do it!?"

Mr. Hubie Brown yelled, his partner was really worried that Old Brown would have a brain hemorrhage because of it.

Anthony immediately turned his head and ran towards Link, Link raised the basketball, and Anthony jumped up.

Halfway through the flight, Anthony's expression was contorted with horror. Because Link's feet didn't leave the ground, it was a shot fake! But Anthony's body is no longer able to brake in the air!

"Fuck!" Anthony yelled.

When Anthony flew in front of him, Link took the initiative to lean on it, and then shot!

The basketball rubbed the backboard lightly into the net, and at the same time, the referee whistle sounded!

"Dudududu!"

"Boom!" The whole FedEx Arena was boiling, and Link made a rebound and shot, and he would be fined! He got the opportunity to hit a three-pointer, and this magical undrafted player killed the game with the most crucial shot after being suppressed by Anthony for a whole game! This goal is even more valuable than Anthony's previous goals combined!

Anthony covered his head with his hands in annoyance, and his 3 points were almost gone! After the goal, Link rushed to Conley and hugged the always polite guy.

Conley's strong "bear heart" made Memphis grind and strangle to the end!
