Reverse Growth Superstar

Link's triple-doubles in the playoffs can be described as a World War I. Popovich also found that just a rookie Leonard, a Stephen Jackson who is no longer at the top, and a Dior who is too fat to run away seem to be unable to contain Link.

With a 1-0 lead and now being reversed 2-1, there is no doubt that the Grizzlies' morale is high, while the Spurs are a little bit down.

After all, if the Spurs lose again in the next game, they will basically be sentenced to death. In the NBA playoffs for so many years, there are only 7 teams in total that can reverse the game when they are 1-3 behind.

Since entering the millennium, there have only been two teams that can do this. If you want to reverse the game when you are 1 to 3 behind, this is a small probability event. Therefore, Popovich cannot do such a dangerous gambling.

The pressure, all piled up on the Spurs.

At the same time, in the East, the Celtics Big Three was unexpectedly strongly blocked by the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers only ranked eighth in the East this year. If their 35 wins and 31 losses are placed in the West, they would not even be able to make the playoffs.

However, it is such a team that seems to be harvested like leeks. In the first round, it faced the thriving Chicago Bulls and staged the fourth black eight miracle in league history!

Of course, people say that the 76ers are just lucky. After all, the Bulls hurt Rose and Joakim Noah, and the lineup is not complete.

In the second round, the 76ers proved that they are not only lucky. Because facing the Celtics in the East, the 76ers are still playing each other inextricably!

Among them, the best player of the 76ers is undoubtedly Andre Iguodala. Although Iguodala does not score so many points in each game, his all-round attributes, excellent defense and efficient finishing ability at critical moments are the reasons why the Phillies have come to the present.

This "little AI" is very different from the AI ​​expected by Philadelphia fans, but he is also using his own way to lead the team to victory.

Of course, there are also different voices. Some 76ers fans and the media are complaining, "Iguodala has the ability to be a star, but it matches the heart of a role player."

They complained that Iguodala was not aggressive enough to play, and their minds were all about connecting the team and defending. Obviously he has unlimited firepower, but Iguodala doesn't like this arrangement. He has never averaged 20 points per game in his career.

It's as if what you need is Jordan, but Pippen comes. Pippen is good, but no matter how good it is, it is also Jordan's green leaf.

When Iguodala participated in the draft, the scout report stated, "He is extremely talented and has good organizational skills. And his main problem is that his shooting ability is not strong and he is not willing to be a player. The attacker wants to be an organizer even more."

And in the first season of the 76ers, Iguodala showed all the things written in the scout report. In 33 minutes of playing time, Iguodala only shot 7 goals, averaging 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals per game. The 76ers need Iguodala to use his perverted physical fitness to attack alone, but Iguodala seems to only want to do some defense, organization, and defense.

It turns out that Iguodala is capable of scoring, but he is unwilling to do that. The People's team has no scorer, and Iguodala was driven by the ducks to serve as the core of the offense. As a result, that season, Iguodala still did not show too much desire to score, still averaging less than 20 points per game.

Therefore, Iguodala's life in Philadelphia is not very easy. Even if he led the team to victory after victory, even if he was selected to the All-Star this year, even if they created a black eight miracle, even if they are now looking to top the Celtics, but Iguodha Pull is still living in doubt.

This question comes not only from fans and the media, but also from management. The 76ers have always regarded Iguodala as the core of the team, and Iguodala is willing to play any role, except for the core.

This will undoubtedly make the 76ers management very distressed.

Although the 76ers are still fighting in the playoffs, Iguodala is still playing hard. But the new owner, Joshua Harris, who has just taken over the team for one year, obviously wants a player who is more like a star.

Therefore, Joshua Harris told his general manager Sam Sinki more than once, "If you have a chance, you can shoot Iguodala."

Therefore, before the end of the playoffs, the communication between the teams has actually been undercurrent. Those big deals that bombed the nerves of fans in the summer were actually started long ago.

But at present, Iguodala's market is not so good. This is not because of his lack of strength, but because of the contract.

After all, Iguodala has player options next season, he can choose to jump out of the contract to test the free agent market. If he is not satisfied with the new club, then the team that gets Iguodala may only get his one-year usage rights.

However, Iguodala's style of play attracted one person's attention.

A player doesn't need too much shot power, but he can score if you give him the ball. Even at critical moments, you can stand up and kill the game. An experienced player who is willing to defend hard and can organize the team's offense...This kind of player is simply Link's perfect partner!

Robert Pella, who will officially take over the Grizzlies in one month, doesn't know what will happen this summer, but he is very willing to put Andre Iguodala's name on his shortlist... ..

May 19th ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ East and West semi-finals continue. In the game that just ended yesterday, the Boston Celtics struggled to defeat the 76ers and achieved a precarious 2-1 lead.

The Thunder III showed great power in front of Kobe and led the Thunder to a 2-1 lead. After this game, James Harden also officially became the best sixth man of the season.

Today, the Spurs and Grizzlies have attracted much attention. Because after this game, there will likely be the first 3 to 1 of this series!

Parker sent a double-double of 23 points and 10 assists today, but in the eyes of some fans and commentators, Parker's performance is not too good. Because Parker's hit rate was only 40% today, his continuous strikes at critical moments made the Spurs very passive.

Fans even saw that "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson and Parker had an argument on the court.

Randolph broke out in this game, scoring 22 points and 16 rebounds in a large double-double, as if dreaming back to last season. Duncan had 19 points and 13 rebounds, his performance was still outstanding, but today, he failed to occupy an absolute advantage over Randolph.

Under such circumstances, Link, who scored 21 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, became the last straw to crush the Spurs. Link didn't score many points at the beginning of the day, and the Grizzlies have been playing the team offense with a single eye.

But at the last moment, during the period of Parker's continuous ironing, Link actually scored consecutively, which completely pulled the performance of the two. At the critical moment, it still depends on the key players.

In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Spurs by 8 points at home, and the series total score became 3-1!

"When we come back next time, we should go to the Western Conference Finals." Facing the camera, Link answered with a smile.
