: One thousand one hundred and thirty-two: I didn't plan to fight to the end (2/5)

Dallas and Houston are both in Texas, so the two places are not very far apart.
It only takes an hour to fly, and the Grizzlies players arrive in Houston.
Although the distance is not far, the back-to-back competition is still very torturous.
Fortunately, tonight's game with the Mavericks entered the garbage time ahead of schedule, and everyone's physical energy was not consumed much, otherwise Link could not imagine how difficult it would be to play the Rockets tomorrow.
After entering the hotel where they were staying, most of the players quickly rested to prepare for tomorrow's game.
But Link looked at his cell phone before going to bed and looked at the reactions of people on the Internet.
Sure enough, for this big victory over the Mavericks, everyone did not think it was unusual.
The Grizzlies should win. If they lose or win particularly hard, then it's surprising.
Everyone didn't mention the Grizzlies' big victory tonight, but focused on the next game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.
Most people think that the next Grizzlies vs. Rockets game will be a tug of war.
After all, the two teams played fiercely in the first three matches. Although the Grizzlies have achieved a complete victory record, the biggest difference is only 4 points.
Tomorrow's game will definitely move towards this rhythm. Every time Harden and Link collide, there is always a spark.
Link looked at these comments and speculations and turned off the phone screen.
Do you have to fight to the last minute with the Rockets? Who made it?
Durant and Green are definitely looking forward to tomorrow's game now, expecting Harden to stand up and shame.
Hmm... let you be disappointed!
※※※
On March 4th, this month’s focus battle was finally staged at Toyota Center.
ESPN listed this game as a national live broadcast, and everyone is looking forward to the four battles between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.
The Rockets may be the team that caused the most trouble for the Grizzlies this season, even more than the Warriors.
After all, the Grizzlies also had a big victory over the Warriors. But in the face of the Rockets, the Grizzlies won three times.
Houston fans hope that the Rockets can win back a city, even if they only win once, they are satisfied.
While the players on both sides were still warming up, the fans began to cry frantically. ESPN also sent a combination of Mike Brin and Mark Jackson to explain the expected fierce battle.
From the perspective of the game atmosphere alone, this game is destined to not be easy.
Everyone believes that they will witness an exciting top-level matchup at the Toyota Center.
Soon, both sides made their debuts.
On the Grizzlies' side, because Wade's knee entered the "throttle period", Georgel decided to let Josh Richardson replace the starting second position.
The Rockets did not have any major changes, so the starting five is still composed of Beverly, Harden, Ariza, Ryan Anderson and Capela.
Neither party embraced each other, and didn't say much. They are very familiar with each other and are full of hostility.
All the Rockets had a fire in their eyes, wishing to shatter the Grizzlies that had beaten them three times in a row.
If the Grizzlies win three times, the Rockets may not have such a strong desire for revenge.
But being narrowly won by the opponent is sometimes even more unwilling than a big defeat.
Every time I almost win the game, it won't be easy to change. The Rockets players are holding back their energy, and they have to eat crabs anyway.
In the jump ball stage, Capella used his faster bounce speed to get the basketball.
Beverley slowly passed the half-court possession and gesticulated the attack.
Harden also gradually took his place, waiting for Beverly's pass.
However, Harden suddenly discovered that it was not the second position of Josh Richardson who was defending himself today, but Link!
"Link directly confronted Harden as soon as the game opened. This is something that hasn't happened in the previous three matches between the two sides. In the past few games, Link has been directly fired from the start. I don't know today, he will not. Do it."
Mike Brin frowned, and Link came to defend Harden himself as soon as the game opened. There is no doubt that this is a great test for Link's physical fitness and energy.
In the previous three games, Link would only face Harden at the most critical moment. In previous games, Link must put more energy on the offensive end.
People's physical strength and energy are really limited, it is impossible to fully fire up as soon as they come up, and it can be maintained until the end.
But today, Link will directly play the game as a critical moment when he comes up... This is indeed abnormal, and Link has no reason to do so.
unless......
Unless that guy wants to end the game early!
"Damn!" Mike Brin felt cold on his back, if his guess was correct, Link was too bold!
The Grizzlies ended the Nuggets and Mavericks early, and they are all justified. After all, these two teams are not considered strong enemies.
But ending the Rockets early... this is not something that can be done casually.
After Harden received the pass from Beverley, he immediately fell into Link's guard.
As soon as Link came up, he directly raised the confrontation intensity to the maximum, which made Harden very unaccustomed.
The game is generally gradual, but Link does not play the cards according to the routine.
Harden couldn't get rid of Link's defense for a while, so he handed the basketball to Ariza.
However, Ariza has no advantage over Josh Richardson. Richardson's height of 1.98 meters is enough for him to effectively defend the opponent's flank.
Why did Georgel choose to start with Richardson instead of Wade? To put it bluntly, he fancy his defensive attributes.
Link's attitude also affected his teammates, making Josh Richardson's defense also very tough.
Ariza is not an offensive player with the ball now. With such a tight defense, he had to pass the ball again.
In the end, Beverly relied on his tough confrontation to force through the barrier, breaking through Conley and throwing shots under Gasol's supplementary defense.
The basketball succeeded in passing Gasol's five fingers, but because of excessive pursuit of arc, it hit the basket's neck.
But Beverly was not upset, because he had fished out Gasol to make up for it.
Even if the goal is not scored, Capela has the opportunity to make up for it!
The moment the basketball knocked out of the frame, the "cake king" jumped high, ready to push the basketball back into the frame.
Before his big hand touched the basketball, Capella found that another arm appeared in front of him, and he caught the rebound early from behind!
"Link's fight is very active. When Gasol failed to get stuck in the position due to a supplementary defense, Link rushed in to protect the rebound and did not give the Rockets a second chance to attack!"
Before Mike Brin finished speaking, Link immediately started to counterattack after catching the rebound.
He directly "ejected to start", passed Harden who had not yet reacted in just one step, and then drew away from Ariza with a light change of direction.
Link was like a yellow lightning flashing across the frontcourt from the backcourt.
The game has just begun, and the Rockets did not expect the intensity of the game to become so intense. Therefore, their retreat speed in this round is indeed not very fast.
But Link doesn't care about this, he will seize any opportunity to score, whether it is the first second or the last second of the game!
The Rockets' defense was like a piece of thin paper, and Link broke a big hole with just a light blow.
After throwing off all the Rockets' defensive players, Link rushed into the penalty area, scoring the ball in the eyes of everyone's astonishment.
From grabbing a defensive rebound to completing a counter-attack dunk, all this only happened between the flashes!
The Rockets players on the court looked at each other, as if they hadn't realized what was happening.
It's as if a group of people are running a marathon, and as soon as one of the runners came up, they immediately sprinted everyone behind him!
This is indeed very unconventional ~EbookFREE.me~ After the goal, Link was not complacent, but immediately called everyone to pay attention to back defense.
He didn't want the game to slow down for a moment.
Now, Mike Brin confirmed his conjecture.
That's right, Link didn't even think about going to the end. What that guy wants is to end early!
The whole world thought this would be an anxious battle, and all fans believed that the scores of both sides would still be very close.
But it is clear that Link does not want the team to be in a tough fight. From beginning to end, all he wanted was to end early.
But in the face of a tough Rocket, can the Grizzlies really get a huge advantage that is enough to break the game into garbage time?
Mike Brin looked forward to it, if it was Link... it might be true.
