As a fan, Link didn't actually pay much attention to Curry before Steve Kerr's Warriors really took shape, let alone think that Curry could become a superstar.
In the impression of the fans at that time, the backcourt composed of Curry and Ellis was indeed powerful, but because the Warriors have not produced results, the impression he and Ellis gave people was so bad team.
But now, Link has a deep understanding that Curry was very strong long ago! Although it was only half the game, but 5 of 5 three-pointers in the half, also very impressive!
Yesterday, Link was buzzed by the media for 6 of 3 points and 4 of 4. As a result, Curry had a 5-for-5 in halftime today, slapped Link's face with a slap in the face.
However, this is the result Curry wants. He wants to prove that he is no worse than any player in the three-point contest, including Link.
Sitting in the locker room, Link was still thinking about Curry's three-point shot today. In the future, Curry and Thompson will break many records, most of which are related to three-pointers.
In the games where this record was born, the Warriors were basically victorious, and their opponents were basically slaughtered.
But Link doesn't want to be slaughtered. If even the young Curry can't beat him, he won't be able to beat him in the future? What's more, it is difficult for Link to accept such things as rollovers on weak teams. So today, no matter what, you must bite it down!
Even if the Thunder roll over, the Grizzlies don't have to repeat the same path.
No, Hollins also opened the door and walked into the dressing. The players all looked up and looked at their coach.
"In the second quarter, I need you to strengthen your offense! Pass the ball for me to make all the points come alive. The Warriors' defense is not strong, we need to seize this weakness and attack!"
Hollins wasted no time, and started talking about tactics as soon as he walked into the locker room.
Perhaps even Hollins, a defensive idiot, knows that defense alone may not be able to prevent it today. When a player can score 23 points at halftime and make 5 of 5 three-pointers at halftime, it does not mean that his opponent's defense is too weak, but that his own touch is so good that he may ignore the defense.
What's more, in addition to Curry, there is also Ellis with 17 points in the half.
The 17 points in the half were exaggerated, but Alice was taken aback by Curry. So Hollins has reason to believe that Ellis will attack even more crazy in the second half.
Since you can't hold on to it, it's better to let it go!
After that, Hollins began to formulate detailed offensive strategies on the tactical board. Hollins emphasized the sharing of the ball, which means more flowers. Because it is difficult for the Grizzlies to play out the terrible state of Curry and Ellis on their own.
In this way, Hollins needs everyone to pass the ball, everyone to shoot, thoroughly attack against attack, and violence against violence!
15 points, you have to rely on offense to fill in.

Curry was finally refreshed, he felt as if he had embraced the world again.
Sitting in the stands of the basketball hall when he was a child, Curry always dreamed that one day he could fly on the court like his father did. The repeated injuries this season even made him self-doubt.
But for now, Curry thinks he can continue his dream.
"Stephen, more shots in the second half, we have to continue to widen the gap." Just as Curry was secretly excited, Monta Ellis said something to him.
In the first two years, Curry and Ellis had a bad relationship. After all, the positions of the two overlapped a bit, and their functions were also somewhat overlapped. And Ellis thinks he is the core of the Warriors, so he certainly doesn't like Curry, who threatens his status.
But this year, the relationship between the two sides has eased a lot, and the cooperation on the court has also increased. Although there will still be open and secret fights on the court, the struggle between the two is a virtuous circle compared to the previous two years.
Ellis is now willing to share the ball with his little brother, as long as he can win.
Curry nodded, saying nothing. A thousand words, not as good as a three-pointer in the game!
The Warriors have loaded their guns and are ready to fire again.
※※※
Link looked up at the big screen at the scene, 65 to 50, and the Grizzlies were 15 points behind.
Seeing this score, the nerves of all Grizzlies players will tense. If you continue to let Curry and Ellis play the same state in the first half, it is estimated that the fourth quarter will not be finished and the game will be over.
"Tense?"
Hearing someone talking to himself, Link turned his head, it was Randolph.
"Nervous? No, I'm not nervous at all." Link shook his head and stepped onto the court, waiting for the game to start.
"That's right, we don't need to be nervous. You are the starting forward for the All-Stars, Mark is the backup center of the All-Stars, and I am a former All-Star player. Our configuration is a big three."
Link is speechless, shameless, invincible in the world! What and what is the Big Three.
"So, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Grizzlies are just hibernating, but in spring, it's time to wake up for food. Come on, we still have spring time for half of the game. Stephen Curry is indeed amazing, but this is Memphis. !" After speaking, Randolph patted Link on the shoulder, and then ran to serve the baseline.
Link smiled, Randolph wanted to arouse his fighting spirit. When it was time to show the leadership role, Randolph did not refuse.
But Zac got it wrong—even if he didn't inspire Link, Link was full of fighting spirit!
It's only 15 points. With hard work, this "boulder" will be opened!
"The second half of the game officially began. We don't know if Stephen and Monta can continue the performance of the first half. But the Warriors have gained a huge advantage and they can control the rhythm as they like." Hubby Brown's voice sounded very worried. Watching Curry and Ellis approach the Grizzlies halftime, Hubie was nervous.
The Warriors' offense was very smooth under the guidance of Mark Jackson, running and covering seemed to never stop.
Of course, this is not the ultimate form of the Warriors offense. After Mark Jackson develops the elevator door tactics and promotes Thompson, the Warriors will be more difficult.
But now this warrior is already difficult enough.
Conley pressed Curry tightly as always, and the physical contact was tougher and more frequent.
On the other side, Link struggled to keep up with Ellis, trying not to get thrown away.
In the end, Curry still took advantage of David Lee's cover and took a three-pointer!
Only this time, Randolph was not attracted by David Lee, but ran to interfere with Curry's shot when the pick-and-roll formed.
In the end, the basketball knocked out, and Curry's 100% three-point shooting rate was finally broken!
Link personally got the rebound, and then quickly went to Conley, Conley did not wait for the black and white bears, and ran with Guy!
As soon as Guy rode a thousand, he rushed to the front and was about to catch the ball! But Guy’s counterpoint, Dorell Wright, gave Guy a lot of interference in the air.
Wright is not a player with solid defensive skills and loves fake moves. But his excellent physical fitness and outstanding wingspan made him not afraid of confrontation!
In the end, in the fierce body collision, Gay's forced layup knocked out, and the Grizzlies missed an opportunity to narrow the point gap!
Ellis leaped high and prepared to get a rebound. Before leaping, he glanced at the position of Curry in advance, ready to pass the ball directly in the air!
However, just when Ellis' palm was about to touch the basketball, he felt a slam from his back and his whole body suddenly sank!
In the next second, the hoop above Ellis made a loud noise! Only then did he know that he had been deducted! Moreover, it is still a supplementary deduction!
"Link! His follow-up was very positive! Link pushed the basketball back into the frame with Monta Ellis! There is no doubt that this is a very morale boost!" Hubby Brown The old man wanted to stand up and cheer, but suddenly realized that his legs were really uncomfortable, so he could only sit on a stool and shout.
After Link landed on the ground, he patted Alice's chest to demonstrate. The lifeless Federal Express Arena finally cheered.
"Damn it!" Ellis was so angry that this losing draft would be too rampant!
So after an offensive, the frustrated Ellis ignored Curry, who ran out of the gap, and made a mid-range shot after he went through the flowers.
Link blocked it in time, he was not afraid of Alice's vacillation, but only his speed. He knows how competitive this guy is. Just now Link deliberately stimulated Ellis with the goal of disrupting his offensive sanity.
Once Ellis' brain gets hot, it might be a good thing for the Grizzlies.
Seeing Alice's picturesque ironing, Curry was dumbfounded. Didn't he just say he was willing to pass the ball? Fuck me!
For the second time in a row, the Warriors attacked and hit the iron. Link hit the ball directly in the air to Conley, which is equivalent to a direct pass while grabbing the board.
Conley pushed forward quickly, and Curry quickly posted it. But it must be said that Curry's defense in this period is really too weak. Conley is not a heavy guard, but it is easy to fight against Curry.
In the end, Conley drove straight in and pushed Curry away to get the ball up.
With only 11 points left, the Grizzlies reminded the Warriors with their offense that we are the stronger side!
In the next attack, Link broke through and assisted Randolph to hit a mid-range jumper.
After 24 seconds, Link repeated the old trick. Only this time, it was Gasol Jr. who made the half-stop.
Biedrins and David Lee were played around. They didn't know whether to protect the rim or follow them to block shots.
For the third time, Mark Jackson let his two elders cling to the black and white bears~EbookFREE.me~ As a result, Guy easily broke into the restricted area and used a tomahawk-style buckle to completely stop the Warriors. !
The Grizzlies used their all-in-one configuration to kill the warriors led by only two guards to the north. More blooming offenses always make the Warriors lose sight of one another.
"Nice dunk, assists from Link. The Grizzlies are all soldiers in the third quarter, the Warriors don't know how to defend. Link 6 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, he almost became the Grizzlies on offensive end Main axis. Now that the Grizzlies are just 5 points away to equalize, the Warriors’ hopes of winning early are dashed!"
"Indeed, the Grizzlies' offense in this game is a bit like the Spurs. But don't forget, they are still behind now, and Curry and Monta Ellis will not catch it. So, this ball has to be played. If If the game can't be determined until the last minute, who do you think can end the game today? Is it Curry and Ellis, or the Grizzlies?"
Faced with this question, Hubie Brown did not answer. He hopes that the game doesn't have to go to that point. It is the best for the Grizzlies to win the ball steadily.
But in basketball games, the worst situation must always be taken into consideration. Because the worst is often the easiest to happen...
