: 264: Big 4 wings

When Conley tried to steal Rondo and fouled, the game entered the dead-ball stage. The electronic buzzer reminded me that this means there is a team substitution.
A young man with an inch left and only a faint stubble on his chin walked onto the court. Because of Link's suggestion of "don't shave if you don't take the top four," all the Grizzlies players are full of hair. The fans are really curious about being so handsome now.
"Jimmy Butler, the Grizzlies replaced Rudy Guy with Jimmy Butler. Guy just let Pierce score four points in a row. It is obvious that he has difficulty maintaining focus on the defensive end. Battier is also in shape today. Very ordinary, so coach Hollins actually chose Jimmy Butler now!" Jaylen Rose, who explained the game, was a little surprised. Putting on a drinking fountain, the Grizzlies were really driven into desperation.
At this time, many fans have a question in their minds, "Who is Jimmy Butler? The Grizzlies still have this number?"
"This summer, the Grizzlies traded for Butler with OJ Mayo, and the deal aroused heated discussions. Today, Mayo is averaging 12.6 points per game with the Nets. And Jimmy Butler... .. In his limited playing time, he averaged only 2.6 points per game."
Until Jaylen Rose said so, the fans suddenly realized. Oh, so he was the guy the Grizzlies traded Mayo for.
Seeing that Butler is not a well-known player, the Boston fans started their "reservation show" again. As soon as he played, Butler heard a lot of abuse.
But Butler didn't care. Seriously, his childhood was much darker than this. Since his mother said "I don't like your looks, let's go", there is no language in this world that can make Jimmy Butler feel vicious.
Butler stepped into the court, walked to his teammates, and conveyed to them the call of the head coach Hollins.
"Don't give up, keep going!"
Although it was just a simple sentence, the Grizzlies players took a deep breath, preparing to make the Celtics look good in the next defensive round!
Jimmy Butler caught up with a defensive round as soon as he came on the court, which was exactly what he liked.
Paul Pierce wiped his sweat with his collar, and it was really difficult to play this season. So far, the record is 12 wins and 10 losses, this result is certainly difficult to satisfy the Celtics. Today, the intensity of the game also makes Pierce feel tortured.
Don't look at the Celtics now leading the Grizzlies by 8 points, but they are also under great pressure and not easy. But seeing the young player in front of him who hadn't mentioned his name in the Celtics preparation plan, Pierce thought that it should be easy for a few rounds.
The Celtics continued to attack, and Rondo organized from outside the three-point line unhurriedly. This season's Rondo is already one of the indispensable cores of the Celtics, and his tactical status is sometimes even higher than the Big Three.
For this reason, this season there have been frequent news that Rondo is at odds with his coach and teammates.
But no matter what the locker room is, Rondo is quite professional on the basketball court. If you are off the court, you must play well.
Ray Allen is ready to move, ready to run out of the open to catch the ball. But Link's strict defense made Ray Allen very uncomfortable. Today, Ray Allen's field goal percentage and points are the lowest among the Big Three. No way, who made him the starting forward of the Western Conference All-Star team?
Rondo saw that Ray Allen did not run out, and Garnett was fighting Randolph again. So he handed the ball to Pierce. Pierce caught the ball and prepared to make a direct breakthrough, usually dealing with rookies, this simple trick is more than enough.
But Pierce had just taken a half step before he was stopped by Jimmy Butler! And Butler's confrontation ability surprised Pierce. Is he really a freshman?
The last Grizzlies player who asked Pierce to ask such questions was Link.
Pierce was blocked by Jimmy Butler, and off the court, Hollins waved his fist in excitement! Playing Jimmy Butler is undoubtedly a risky move, but for now, this move is right!
"Jimmy is very focused on defense. There should be no problem with Pierce, who is already very tired!" Beside Hollins, assistant coach Elston Turner was confident.
Turner was responsible for inspecting players before the draft last summer. During the joint trial, many young people like to show their bounce, speed and shooting. But Butler is a different kind of players in the trial. He is just as diligent and diligent as when he played in college, blindly defensive instead of showing his personal characteristics.
At that time, Elster Turner knew Butler was at least a player with a good defensive attitude and strong willpower. Butler has not been polished to perfection, but Pierce is not in perfect condition.
Under Jimmy Butler's tough defense, Pierce's mid-range emergency stop jumper finally knocked out. Gasol struggled to protect the rebound, and the Grizzlies got a chance to narrow the point difference!
The Grizzlies are missing Teacher Tony, and the Celtics are not without injuries. This year's injury problems are fatal to all teams, not only the Grizzlies have bad luck.
As O'Neal retired, Perkins was traded to the Thunder in the middle of last season. Therefore, the Celtics have no decent center available this season.
Jermaine O'Neal? He is no longer the All-Star forward. Severe injuries and wandering around in recent years have made him a pure blue-collar, which is still not very useful.
Therefore, most of the time this season, the Celtics used Brandon Bass to play power forward and let Garnett go to the top five position.
Although Bass is only 2.03 meters tall, he has a soft shooting touch, strong confrontation and active play. This season, averaging 12.5 points per game, is an important main force for the Celtics.
But now, Bass is injured, the Celtics can only replace Bass with O'Neal. The result is that the rebounding is not strong, and the inside defense is weak.
After receiving the pass from Xiao Kangli, Link drove straight in, hit Huanglong and attacked the basket.
Ray Allen failed to keep up with Link, and O'Neal's ability to protect the frame, Link is really not afraid.
In the confrontation, Link easily made the ball up! Little O'Neal can hardly jump up now, and can only watch himself being eaten by Link.
It's really cool to catch the opponent's injury problem and fight hard.
"The point difference is only 6 points. The Grizzlies tried again to close the score. Jimmy Butler's defense against Pierce just now was very successful. He is an important factor in this counterattack. But just one round of success is not enough. The Grizzlies must continue their efforts!"
"Focus, focus!" Doug Rivers' scary voice immediately resounded through the audience, he thought the Celtics had just slackened.
But in fact, the Celtics players just took it seriously! They can't stop the Grizzlies!
This time, basketball was still hit by Pierce. But obviously, Jimmy Butler's just-successful defense was not luck, because he once again pushed the tired Pierce into desperation.
In the last game the Grizzlies fought the Thunder, the young Thunder third played vigorously until the end. But today, the Big Three are obviously more tired than the Grizzlies players.
There was no way, Pierce had to hand the ball to Garnett. KG sat back twice, but this time the push was unsuccessful. Randolph doesn't want to lose anymore, he has had enough to lose every game because of the last minute weakness.
Garnett saw that he couldn't move, so he passed the ball again! But it must be said that this veteran made a very low-level mistake, he passed too much and his intention was too obvious!
As soon as Pierce made the catching position, Jimmy Butler rushed out to intercept the basketball midway, and the Celtics failed again!
"A steal! My goodness, Jimmy Butler did a great job! In the second round after playing, he got a key steal! KG made a mistake, and Jimmy Butler tried to convert the opponent's mistake into Score!"
Butler was not greedy for merit, and immediately handed the ball to Conley after grabbing the basketball. For him, it is enough to work hard and do what he should do on the court.
On the Celtics side, due to physical problems, it is not timely to retreat. Of the five people on the field, only Rondo retreated the fastest. Rondo is certainly a defensive champion, but it is difficult for him to protect the basket when the opponent is attacking fast.
Conley threw the ball directly into the air~EbookFREE.me~ Link came from behind, holding the basketball with one hand and slamming it into the box, and the air relay!
Rondo didn't jump directly to try to block Link, not because he was not active, but because Rondo's basketball IQ was very clear, even if he jumped, he would at most apply for a foul for himself. Therefore, it is not necessary at all.
"Bo! Dump dunks! From Link and Mike Conley's beautiful cooperation. 4 points, the Grizzlies reduced the difference to 4 points! The Celtics follow-up weak, they attacked the Grizzlies for three quarters. Kill. And now, it's the Memphis's turn to fight back!"
Most people were cheering for Conley and Link, and all were talking about the dunks just now. But few people remember that this opportunity came from Jimmy Butler's steal.
After Link walked back, he slapped Jimmy Butler. Others can't remember his defensive contribution, but Link will not forget.
"Go on, you're going to drive him crazy." After Link finished speaking, Jimmy Butler nodded.
This pair of senior wings is about to change the trend of this game.
