: One hundred and twenty-seven: 1st and 8th matches (39th/40th)

After Battier entered the team, the Grizzlies players felt that the team had never changed.
Originally, Thabeet had a normal relationship with the Grizzlies. People don't hate him, but he really has no sense of existence. Therefore, after Thabeet, most Grizzlies players have no special feelings.
As for Battier, this guy is always like an old player in the team. In just one day of training, Battier made the rest of the Grizzlies get used to his presence.
It can be said that Battier can adapt quickly to NBA 0 teams.
It seems that this mid-term trade did not bring any turbulence to the Grizzlies, which is undoubtedly the result that both Chris Wallace and Lionel Hollins hope to see.
Of course, what makes them happiest is more than that. Seeing Link always train with Battier on the training ground, Hollins is undoubtedly more relieved.
Now, in order to simulate actual combat effects, Battier is not only satisfied with one-on-one defense of Link. He called Darrell Arthur to assist in the defense in order to simulate the actual combat effect closest to the real one.
"Remember, Link, the NBA game is not one-on-one. Breaking through your match-up does not mean that your offense will be successful. The first two times, you have been blocked by Arthur's defense. This time, think hard and find a way to solve the dilemma."
Battier defended Link while explaining to him. Tony Allen still admires Battier a little, this guy trains newcomers in a set.
Link held the ball and made a tentative step, pretending to retract his foot, but in fact suddenly broke through-this is Link learned from Kobe.
Battier was broken through. For one, he didn't really fight, and secondly, Battier's current speed is indeed a bit slow. But even so, Battier still did not let Link directly into the inside. Battier knew that in order to avoid Arthur's blockade, Link would definitely stop his jumper.
Sure enough, Link really made a jumper. Battier, who had anticipated all this for a long time, stretched out his hand, not to block the ball, but to cover his eyes.
Link was irritated by Shane, so he shot a little irritably. In this way, his offense failed again, and this was Battier's third consecutive round to deflate Link.
"Damn, you have changed again!" Link shook his head. Shane Battier has changed several different defensive strategies to deal with himself. As long as Link can think of a way, Battier will always think of it first.
"That’s right, I did change! This is what I want to tell you! Today, I have two tricks for defending you. First, keep changing, because if you let the offense get used to your defense, he immediately Can give a solution. Second, keep the pressure, let the scorer get annoying every point, let him get points, but let him intermittently, don't let him feel warm!"
When Battier said that, Link nodded again and again after combining his own defensive experience.
What Battier said was also recognized by Tony Allen, who was watching the show. If he taught Link only the simplest and rude things on the defensive end, then Battier taught Link the more complex tactical and psychological aspects.
Tony Allen just thinks about Link's ability to combine the defensive styles of himself and Battier in the future, can't help but sigh.
How terrible players are Hollins and Wallace trying to make him? Superstar?
"Okay guys, stop. Take a break, clean up, we should go!"
At this time, the team coach Hollins blew the whistle and then shouted. After training, everyone went to the locker room, and Link was no exception.
It's not that Link doesn't want to practice more today, but that the team has to set off after training today and board the plane to San Antonio.
Tomorrow, December 26, the Memphis Grizzlies will play away against the San Antonio Spurs, who are now number one in the West. No. 1 in the Western Conference, this label can not be posted on any team.
Hollins knew how strong his opponent was, so he dared not slack off. Tonight, the team will go to San Antonio together and have a good rest in the evening. At noon the next day, I started preparing for the game in full energy.
For a team like the Spurs, if you don't adjust yourself to the best condition, you won't even think about victory.
Link also a little impatiently wants to start, San Antonio Spurs opponent, Link has been waiting for a long time.
If he remembers correctly, the Grizzlies seem to be the Spurs this year.
He was a little worried, if history changes because of his joining, it would be embarrassing. Don't join the Grizzlies because of yourself, and in the end Black Eight will fail, if that way Link will hate himself to death.
Therefore, Link really wants to see if the Grizzlies with his own can defeat the No. 1 Spurs in the West.
And now, the opportunity has come.

Vicki stood on the sidelines seriously, keeping his eyes on the players who were practicing tactics.
After seeing Richard Jefferson lose his position on a defense, Vitch stopped training and then yelled angrily.
"What are you doing!? What did I say? Close to him, close to him! You actually let him get such a big open, do you know what it means? It means we will get a three-pointer! Don’t take any chances, the Grizzlies’ three-pointers from the third position are not bad at all. Link and Battier, tell me, which of these two three-pointers you dare to release!"
Vicky's face flushed, and Richard Jefferson nodded apologetically, "I'll pay attention, pop."
Richard Jefferson is also a veteran in the NBA. To be honest, there was a little misplacement in training. If you change to another coach, you may not be angry, let alone in front of everyone. Give me a scolding.
But this is the San Antonio Spurs, and Vitch is not against Jefferson. If Duncan made a mistake, he would also be scolded.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that Vitch can't tolerate making mistakes in the third position when facing the Grizzlies.
Because he knows very well that the No. 0 is not an easy mess. Others may look down on Link, but Vitch will not. After all, Vitch and the Spurs have never been superstitious about the rank of a player. There are countless low rank rookies and undrafted drafts in the Spurs!
He knows better than anyone that birth and nationality do not represent everything about a player. You can see the pros and cons of a player by taking off the colored glasses.
And Link is considered by Vitch to be the Grizzlies' number one dangerous target. If you make a mistake with the 3rd position, that No. 0 loses the draft is really not soft.
The first place in the west comes from such caution and meticulousness.

The Riverwalk is one of the most famous attractions in San Antonio and is known as the number one entertainment destination in Texas.
The green boulevard along the river attracts tourists from all over the world, and even locals often come here to patronize. Many entertainment venues such as restaurants, shops and bars gather on both sides of the river. The colorful umbrellas by the river also add a lot of color to the riverside trail. At night, the colorful lights on both sides of the trail are even more colorful.
Many different cultural style restaurants, bars and various shops make this trail full of characteristics. Being in it, you might even think that you are not in the United States, but in a place where multiple cultures meet in Europe.
The Grizzlies players were bored and organized to walk around the riverside trail. In the winter, wrapped in thick clothes and hats, it became their unique disguise.
At this time ~EbookFREE.me~A group of Randolph, Tony Allen, Conley, and Link was sitting in the doorway of a small bar, enjoying a folk singer from Europe singing.
Of course, the four of them are very conscious and still use fruit juice instead of alcohol.
"Look, living in a small city is actually quite comfortable. The hustle and bustle of New York and Los Angeles is not so perfect."
After the singer finished singing, Randolph clapped with emotion.
"That's because at least there is a riverside trail in San Antonio. If this is in Memphis, you will only be robbed if you come out so late." Tony Allen sipped his juice while complaining.
At this time, Tony Allen noticed that Link was holding a mobile phone when he came out of the hotel. Even in such a fun and beautiful place on the Riverside Trail, Link's attention has never been diverted from the mobile phone.
Tony Allen felt curious, so he leaned over and took a look. After just one glance, Tony Allen almost threw up.
On Link’s phone, a video of the Spurs’ recent game is playing. And the Spurs video, Hollins has shown the players countless times these days.
The Spurs' ball is not wonderful, it is slow, so people are always sleepy. The Grizzlies players have been successfully hypnotized by the Spurs games these days.
"I said Link, you can stop for a while!" Tony Allen patted Link on the shoulder, he was really afraid that the silly boy would see something wrong.
"Ah? I'm not hungry." Link didn't lift his head, and replied without adding any words.
In fact, Link would never see this in the video. After all, human energy is limited. Only this time, he really wanted to win the Spurs.
The black eight miracle, Link will never allow a bath in his own place.
