: Fifty-four: loved by the big guys

　　 At the beginning of the second quarter, after the Grizzlies played a wave of 11-0 offensive climax, the Toronto Raptors collapsed.
　　 The lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Link, Randolph and Gasol allowed Lionel Hollins to see unlimited potential. Defense, offense and three-pointers, this lineup can almost meet all Hollins' needs.
　　Think about it, if the Grizzlies’ backup forward is still Sam Young, it’s impossible for the team to play such a tough defense and open offense with space. So, sometimes a player's ability to survive in a team depends not only on his strength, but also on whether he is suitable for the team.
　　 After the 11-0 timeout, Link and Tony Allen were replaced by Guy and Mayo. After all, the latter two are the real starters for the Grizzlies.
　　 With the Raptors almost collapsing, Mayo and Gay played their strong singles ability.
　　 Guy's breakthrough dunk made Kleiza more and more sinking. And Mayo's unreasonable sudden stop jumper made DeMar DeRozan extremely envious.
　　 After Mayo and Gay beat him hard, the Raptors were already 23 points behind after halftime.
　　 At that time, the entire Air Canada Center arena was filled with boos from fans. I don't know if the fans are booing the Grizzlies or expressing their dissatisfaction with the home team.
　　 After the start of the third quarter, Zach Randolph also began to exert his strength. He scored 8 points in the first 6 minutes, forcing the Raptors' defense to shrink again.
　　 And Link also got two three-point shot opportunities and improved his personal score to 13 points. As a substitute, Link has an efficient double-digit scoring contribution in almost every game, which undoubtedly gives the speakers an excuse to blow Link.
　　 After that, the Raptors were forced by the Grizzlies' defense to make jumpers from outside. However, with Calderon and Kleiza and his like, it is really difficult to kill the game by shooting.
　　 As Link played more at the same time as Mayo or Gay in the second half, his mobile phone will not be as much as the first half. Therefore, Link put all his attention on the defensive end. He put into practice everything he learned from Tony Alena this afternoon and allowed the Lithuanians to play a game of high driving and low driving.
　　 At the end of the fourth quarter, Randolph broke out again, scoring 7 points in a row, and completely laid the victory for the Grizzlies.
　　 Link came off in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, when his personal scoring data was 15 points. He was replaced by competitor Sam Young.
　　 However, everyone is clear that the reason why Sam Young can still play is because the game has completely entered garbage time. And Link did not play because Hollins needs to ensure the health of the team's main players.
　　 Yes, the main player of the team. Now, almost everyone agrees that Link is a member of the Grizzlies' main rotation. From coaches to players, no one thinks it's weird for Link to rest during garbage time.
　　 Sam Yang is a bit aggrieved, but now, who cares about his opinion?
　　 In this competition with Link, he has completely lost.
　　In the end, the Grizzlies successfully slayed the dragon in the away back-to-back game by 19 points. Randolph, who scored 37 points and 17 rebounds, became the best of the game. This guy who was once cast aside by all the teams shined in Toronto.
　　Because he is the best player in the game, after the game, there are also the most reporters interviewing Randolph.
"Zach, you are undoubtedly the best person in today's game. But if you were asked to choose the second best person, who would you choose?" A reporter started digging pits badly. He estimated that Lando The husband's character, who is not afraid and not afraid, will take all the credit for winning to himself.
　　 "Zac is the best one, and Zac is the second and third best!" The reporters all thought Randolph would answer.
But in fact, Randolph has already passed the arrogant age, "If I had to choose, I would choose Link. His appearance gave me a lot of easy low-post singles opportunities, without worrying about someone going to do it. Clip it up. If someone really doubles, you've seen his four-pointer today. Of course, the other teammates played equally well, and we are an excellent team."
　　 Randolph smiled, but the reporters were all stunned.
　　 They really didn't expect that the Chinese No. 0 would have such an appetite for Randolph.
　　 The NBA, like many other places, is also a place that pays attention to seniority. Even if a rookie such as Yao Ming enters the NBA, he has to be responsible for preparation before each training and put them door to door in the door of your big brother's room.
　　 When Sun Yue was on the Lakers, because his teammates were on the plane, he rushed to a fast food restaurant and bought 33 burgers, 20 milkshakes and 20 fries. At that time, Chinese fans ridiculed on the Internet: "Sun Yue was forced to contribute 33+20+20."
　　 However, not only did Link never suffer such treatment in the Grizzlies, but he was even praised by Randolph himself, which of course shocked the media.
　　 A draft pick, he played less than five games with the Grizzlies. How can he win such respect?
　　 The reporters overlooked a problem. Link played two games with the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies immediately went from three consecutive losses to two consecutive victories. And in these two games, the Grizzlies star Rudy Gay's performance is not too good. This matter is enough to explain the problem.
　　Sometimes, it’s that simple to win respect.
　　 Randolph left behind reporters with a surprised look, and walked to the player tunnel by himself. He couldn't wait, he wanted to celebrate the victory with Link.
　　 However, Randolph came to the player's entrance door to discover that Link, a kid, was as high-profile as himself, and he was full of reporters.
　　 Randolph stopped and then smiled thief. He pulled Gasol, and the two sneaked up two disposable cups, filled them with water, and walked behind Link.
　　 The reporters immediately took a step back when they saw this situation. Although Link has Grant Hill's basketball experience, his judgment on this kind of thing is still a bit slow.
　　 When he realized that something was wrong, two glasses of cold water had already poured down from his head!
　　 "Hahahahaha, run away Mark, run away!"
　　 Randolph let out an exaggerated laugh, running like a 200-jin child.
　　 Link looked at his soaked No. 0 jersey and shook his head helplessly, but he was not angry, but rather happy.
　　Because he knows that the big guys in the team have completely accepted themselves.
　　 As a failed draft pick, if you can get the love of the big guys in the team, it will be enough to determine the future. The big brother of the team only needs to say "I don't like so-and-so" to the coach, or not pass the ball to him on the court, it is enough to block the NBA career of the lowest-level professional player.
　　 Of course, the opposite. If they particularly like someone and especially like to pass the ball to him, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can undoubtedly help him consolidate his position faster.
　　Daniel Gibson and Dudley, who were only selected in the second round of the year, weren’t it because they were so loved by James and Nash that they finally made it out?
　　 And as a yellow-skinned player, it is even more difficult to be accepted by his teammates. As a traverser, Link knew that Jeremy Lin would not be easy in the future. Chinese Americans want to gain a foothold in the NBA, but it is not much easier than pure Chinese players.
　　 But now, these problems are solved easily because of the two glasses of water just now.
"Link, you can see that you and your teammates are very excited, you seem to be much better in Memphis than in Houston. So, do you think you can get a chance to start this season?" The reporters are not stupid. They can see that Hollins uses Link more and more. Now Link plays not only at the third position, but also at the second position.
　　 It won’t be impossible for Link to squeeze Mayo onto the bench one day. After all, Xavier Henry had been on the bench before Xavier Henry was injured. It seems that Hollins would prefer Mayo to be a super sixth man.
　　 Link naturally wanted to start, but he couldn't make it so clear that it would offend people. With his current position on the Grizzlies, he can't afford to offend anyone.
　　 "I never thought about this problem. I just want to help the team play well in every game. And, I really want to get the first 20 points of my NBA career as soon as possible, hehe."
　　 Link smiled and faced the camera, looking very young. Starting? Link hasn't thought about it yet. Now that it can enter a stable rotation, it is already a victory. After all, half a month ago, he was still developing the league.
　　 But what's very evil is that after this interview tonight, Link's chance to start is here...
