Memphis Grizzlies' situation today is not reassuring. After half of the first quarter, the Pacers have led the Grizzlies by 6 points.
On the commentary stage, T.NT’s Jeff Van Gundy and Chris Weber were joking,
The composition of the Memphis Grizzlies is really interesting.
"No one wants Zach Randolph, Mayo who is more arrogant than talent, Guy who wants to be a superstar, and Gasol who is tepid...Look at these. What player? If the Grizzlies want to make the playoffs, they should add more to their lineup." Seeing Gasol's shot was missed by Hibbert again, Webber couldn't help but ridicule.
"Reinforce the lineup? Yeah, in fact, the Grizzlies did the same. They brought Link to the Conseco Arena today. I hope this rookie who signed a short 10-day contract with the team can help the Grizzlies get through Difficulty, hahahahaha." Van Gundy's words are still somewhat mocking.
Last season, the Grizzlies failed to make the playoffs. This year, with the lineup almost unchanged, people are naturally not optimistic about how much progress the Grizzlies can make.
An outdated Allen Iverson is already the biggest signing of the Grizzlies in recent years. Grizzlies are like the city of Memphis, always despised by people.
While Weber and Van Gundy were joking, a dry mid-range jumper from Daniel Granger caught Rudy Gay by surprise. The Pacers scored again and the point difference was widened to eight points.
"Damn it!" Lionel Hollins yelled, stood up and called the game to stop.
It would be quite unfavorable for the Grizzlies if the opponent widened the point difference to 10 points early. After all, the Grizzlies are a team that is good at defensively. If the defense collapses, the game will collapse.
"Pause, coach Hollins called to stop the game. But IMHO, I don't think the Grizzlies can come up with any decent response. In the past three games, they have lost three in a row. The Grizzlies recently The state has not been very good, I don’t think they have the ability to suddenly come back to life."
Webber shook his head, a team of fish belly, this is his definition of the Grizzlies.
Link surrounded him when the game was suspended, very positive. Because Hollins said, he can enter the rotation today! And now, it's almost time to turn around.
Rudy Gay sat on a stool after he got off the court and asked the staff for towels and Gatorade. But Hollins, who was drawing tactics on one knee, was absent-minded.
O.J. Mayo tilted his head, he scored 6 points in the past half of the game, which seems to make him feel good about himself. Anyway, the loss has nothing to do with him, because the Grizzlies are a "junk team" and he just takes the data.
These main players can turn a blind eye to the arrangement of the head coach, absent-minded, but low-level players like Link cannot.
People who often watch the NBA know that when every game is suspended, when the head coach is spitting out and the main players are unwilling, there are always a few guys wearing training jackets, no sweat on their foreheads, and zero minutes of playing time. Beside, a conscientious attitude.
Without them, half of the head coach's layout during the timeout is estimated to be cold...
Leonane Hollins talked for a long time, only to find that Guy didn't seem to care. Every time Guy shows this state, he will turn on wave cast mode. Good luck, can kill the opponent. But most of the time, it was the Grizzlies themselves who paid the price.
Then Hollins stopped suddenly, then rushed behind him and beckoned without looking back.
"Link, get ready to play!"
Now, Rudy Gay finally took a look at his head coach. Unfortunately, it is too late.
Link looked at his teammates in surprise, then squeezed from the outermost edge of the crowd to Hollins. Guy and Sam Young glared at Link at the same time, but Zach Randolph stood up and relieved Link.
"Relax, man. Listen carefully to what the coach has to say, I can't spare you if you run into the wrong position on the court." Randolph said, squeezing Link's shoulder. On the surface, he was "threatening" Link, but in fact he was telling Guy and Sam Young.
"Link is covered by me."
"Listen to Link, I need you to confront Daniel Granger, I don't ask you to seal him, but you can't let him easily make a move and lure him to go inside. Zach and Mark will help you offense! End, run as you did during training. If you can't make a three-point chance, I will replace you immediately!"
Hollins confessed to Link casually, and Link nodded solemnly. In terms of tactical execution, Hollins believes that Link is better than Gay.
"Beep~~~~" A harsh buzzer sounded, and Pacers fans all cheered.
At that moment, Link felt goose bumps all over his body. Although in the Rockets, Link also played three games. However, playing at a critical moment and being ordered to play at a critical moment and playing at garbage time are completely two feelings.
He took a deep breath, leaned over and touched the words "rest in peace, Zike" beside his shoes, and stepped onto the court!
"Boy, come back!" As soon as Link took his first step, he heard assistant coach Elston Turner yell. Then he found a burst of laughter from the stands.
"Huh?" Link looked back in confusion. The action he had just played should be handsome, right?
"What are you doing!? I forgot to take off my training jacket! Take it off quickly, and let me relax!"
Listening to what Turner said, Link realized that he had forgotten to take off his training jacket and training pants...
Yes, my first appearance on the Grizzlies was a bad performance.
"Hahahahaha, this may be the most embarrassing appearance I have ever seen. Link, the Chinese forward who signed a 10-day short contract with the Grizzlies was so nervous that he forgot to take off his training jacket. Lionel. Coach Hollins is sure that such a player is really capable of fighting?"
Van Gundy and Webber laughed together on the commentary stage. On the Pacers bench, Jim O'Brien also had a playful smile on his face.
After laughing, Jim O'Brien still turned his head to look at George, "Am I right? His kind of guy will not affect the game in any way!"
Link was also a little embarrassed at first, but as soon as he took off his training jacket and saw number 0 on his chest, he immediately calmed down.
stepping into the court, his eyes changed. From humble and funny, to extremely fierce. 80% of the people in this arena don't know who Link is or where he came from.
But as soon as he saw his yellow skin, the impression of "this guy must be weak" appeared in the fans' minds.
Daniel Granger thinks so too, even Rudy Gay can’t help him today. Now changing into a little-known yellow-skinned rookie is useless except to "send experience" to himself.
But Larry Bird, who was sitting in the luxurious box at this time, had a different idea from most people at the scene. He narrowed his eyes, looking forward to seeing Link's performance.
Bird is one of the few 20% who knows Link. He knew that this No. 0 draft was not a general.
"The Grizzlies offense is still a slow-paced offense. Conley has a very stable control. He is indeed a young and mature point guard."
Conley passed halftime under Webber's commentary. Link immediately began to act, he went to the right outside the three-point line to meet Conley.
According to tactics, Conley hit the ball into Link's hands. Granger didn't press Link tightly, in his opinion there was no need to do that.
Of course, it is impossible for Link to take the ball one-to-one with Granger. At this time Granger is also an All-Star player.
I saw the Chinese No. 0 hang the ball to Randolph who was sitting inside, and then cut in without the ball!
"Cut!" Granger snorted softly, this kind of cutting is simply too simple. He was next to Link, not giving him space to catch the ball. Sure enough, losing the draft is losing the draft!
But as soon as Link stepped into the penalty area, he suddenly ran back and ran out of the three-point line again! At the same time, Mayo and Conley also began to wander, attracting the Pacers' defensive attention.
Randolph returned the ball to Link. Link received the basketball just beyond the three-point line, and he had to lift it up!
"Small bugs!" Granger collapsed in two strides, UU reading www.uukanshu. com, he admits that Link's back run is very beautiful. But such an offense cannot defeat him.
Granger stretched out his long arms and leaped high. Nothing is more exciting than teaching a rookie with a big volleyball hat.
However, when Granger waited for Link to shoot in mid-air, what he saw was not an oncoming basketball, but a ghostly smile on the face of the Chinese No. 0.
The last player who saw this smile was Joan Brockman, and he has now been beaten by Link.
"Fake shot, Link actually just made a fake shot! He broke through, Granger was thrown away, and the others were restrained again. Link went through the basket without any obstacles!"
As soon as Van Gundy's voice fell, Link jumped up and layup. At this time, Roy Hibbert rushed over and planned to block.
But in the air, Link, whose body became lighter after the upgrade, made a pull-rod motion, avoided the cover, and put the basketball into the frame. Of course, Link's lever is not picturesque, but it is practical enough.
At the moment the basketball shot, Link was also knocked down by Hibbert. As soon as Link landed, he heard the referee's hasty whistle.
"The goal was effective, and there were additional penalties. Link won a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court! This... the first round of coach Hollins's substitution showed its effect!"
After the goal, Link lay on the ground and waved his arms vigorously. After being pulled up by Randolph, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Hibbert.
Only then did people realize that this yellow-skinned guy might not be easy to provoke. He is not a soft man, but a real tough guy!
A real Grizzlies player!
