: 348: Lycium Young Link

When Link woke up at home the next day, he realized that he had received text messages from many stars.
"Come on, I can see that you are a little frustrated, but this is by no means the biggest difficulty you have ever encountered." From Jeremy Lin.
"Warriors go to the battlefield, if you give up sooner or later, you will die! Come on, go back to the home court and play hard, I will support you!" From Paul George.
These two text messages are normal, and the next few Links are a bit speechless.
"Go embrace the failure, be afraid of a hairy, him, I was in a 3-1 lead and the Suns were reversed...Remember, don't panic when you are double-teamed, just turn over and jump shot!" Kobe Bryant.
"When are you so gentle? Look at Durant's proud look at the camera with his nostrils, I rely on. You elbow him, his elbow got his nosebleeds! Technical foul? Technical foul is a fart, as long as you don't Suspended, you can foul hard! Make him afraid of you!" From Cousins...
"It's the same sentence, boy, the future is yours." From Old Deng...
Not only Dirk, basically as long as he has a personal relationship, let him not give up easily.
This shows that people's expectations of Link are really very high. This is a bit beyond Link's expectations.
The media and fans outside of Memphis basically think that Link is dead, but this group of players who play in the NBA are more optimistic about Link.
That said, they used to dislike Link, but they were all taken care of... Then, they were optimistic about Link. They know better than anyone that Link is not so easy to beat.
Although some of these text messages were serious and funny, to be honest, Link felt better after reading them.
Link got up full of energy, and turned on the TV to listen to sports news as always.
Because there are only two games in the NBA right now, one for the Heat and the Celtics, one for the Grizzlies and the Thunder. Therefore, the city of Memphis has naturally become much-anticipated.
On TV, ESPN reporters are conducting interviews on the streets of Memphis, mainly interviewing some local fans and asking them what they think of the current bad situation.
"We haven't lost a home game in the playoffs this season! You ask me what do you think? We will fix them in Memphis, don't worry!"
"Link is the most improved player of the year, so return to Memphis after two games and you will see his improvement!"
"The Grizzlies can always handle everything at home, this time too. Grizzlies come on! We are not afraid of any enemies!"
On TV, there are enthusiastic and still morale fans. Link became more comfortable when he saw it.
Even for fans and friends who are optimistic about themselves, they can't give up first!
Although it's really tricky to be behind 2-0, it's not the end of the world.
Thinking of this, Link turned off the TV and went straight to the training hall.
To say it is useless, action is the most effective way!
At the same time, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is also upset. If you want to make a comeback when you are behind 2-0, you can't suddenly become combative by shouting a few slogans.
At the tactical level, there must be adjustments.
And now, Hollins has a very difficult question at hand-who should be allowed to defend James Harden?
James Harden is the sixth man, which means that he often staggers when the Grizzlies are resting. Since then, it is Ponderset who is facing Harden.
Pondset is certainly a good player, but he is still a bit worse than Harden. Harden averaged 60% of his three-pointers in the first two games! This is the result of using Poundset to defend Harden.
Jimmy Butler? No, Hollins couldn't send Butler at all. The NBA playoffs are not a joke. Any shortcomings of players will be caught and amplified, so immature player coaches dare not use it.
This is why most teams in the playoffs have short rotations. Because the coach wants to reduce the shortcomings of his team, he can only use the most "economical" people.
Butler was traded by the team for Mayo, and the goal is to develop into the next Tony Allen. Hollins could see Butler's potential, and he could see that he worked hard. But this year, it is not time for him to perform.
Finally, Hollins and assistant Elston Turner look at me, and I look at you.
There is only one candidate.
During training in the afternoon, Hollins and Turner approached Link and said they were discussing some tactical changes with him.
With such seriousness, Link thought that Hollins wanted to use Randolph as the core of the attack again. As a result, Hollins just said, "I need to increase your playing time."
"Ah? This is a good thing, I definitely agree, no need to discuss it." Link readily agreed. Isn't it just playing for a few more minutes, this body's greatest talent is good physical fitness...
"No, you don't understand. It's not as simple as playing for a few more minutes. We need someone to look after James Harden at all times, so as long as Harden is on the court, you have to be on the court. Of course, Tony can also defend Harden, but He can't continue our firepower. Therefore, the only candidate is you. In this case, you have to ensure that you have enough physical strength to play the key ball at the critical moment. I think you can see that in these two games, sometimes the outcome is It’s really just those two rounds. You win if you can grasp it, and you lose if you can’t grasp it. So, you have to be mentally prepared. This is not an easy job."
Hollins knows that this may be too heavy a responsibility for a second-year player. But no way, this is the playoffs. What is the playoffs? Forcing a player to be a better self!
Those players who played better after the playoffs ~EbookFREE.me~ are all forced out.
Now the Grizzlies can't handle the Thunder in the usual way, so someone can only stand up and break the routine.
Link put away his hippie smile and nodded slightly, "Don't worry Leon, I'm ready at any time."
The double test of physical and psychological? It sounds boring. But if you don't sacrifice, how can you be the top scorer?
If you don't sacrifice, what to talk about defending the home court!
Unbeaten record at home in the playoffs...Everyone is proud of this record. Link didn't want to watch Durant standing on the floor of the Federal Express Arena and said arrogantly, "It's not difficult to win here."
In order to save energy for the next day of the game, Link did not increase the intensity of training in the afternoon. When the media opened, the reporters entered the training hall and found that Hui and the others were sweating profusely.
Only Link, holding a thermos cup, sat on a chair with Erlang's legs tilted.
I don't know, I thought it was the old man guarding the gate of the training hall!
The reporters looked surprised, what's the situation? Give up the treatment?
Faced with the surprised expressions of the reporters and the microphones that only had to be stuffed into his mouth, Link looked calm, "Don't panic, there are more than 20 hours before the game starts. The most important thing now is to enjoy this. A moment of calm."
Link let the image of "the wolfberry boy" appear in the league N years earlier.
But Link knows very well that the greatest charm of "Goji Juvenile" is-as long as he wants, he can put down the thermos immediately and show his performance! What people questioned is the attitude of the "Chinese wolfberry boy", not the ability!
When Link puts down the thermos cup tomorrow, he will definitely make the Western Conference No. 1 from afar to see what the unbeaten home court in the playoffs is like.
