People will always mature, but it depends on whether they mature sooner or later.
There is no doubt that Zach Randolph belongs to the group of people who matured relatively late. During the golden age of his career, Randolph never paid attention to the basketball court.
Deals, nightclubs, possession of guns, absent training, assault of teammates... these things seem to fill Zach Randolph's life.
But at this time, Randolph, who was already 30, finally knew what to do. He wants to fight for his career, and most importantly, he wants to fight for the Grizzlies.
He loves the Grizzlies, because he seems to see himself in the Grizzlies. When he was at his worst, the Grizzlies were willing to accept him and did not despise him at all. Therefore, he longs for his team to become stronger, in fact Randolph has been working hard in this direction.
So, he doesn't allow any Grizzlies players to come to mess around, especially newcomers.
After two minutes of training, Link's performance has been very good. His outstanding performance is not because of how many points he scored, but because Link can appear in the most correct place according to tactics every time.
Whether it is defensive positioning, offensive running, screens with teammates, and basketball transmission, Link has done just right. As a role player, not making mistakes is more important than creating stunning. The stability of Link on the basketball court is completely unmatched by Sam Young.
This time, Link blocked Sam Young's shot again. This is not because of how superb Link's defense is, but Sam Young's attacking methods are too monotonous for Link.
Sam Young is undoubtedly an athletic striker, but it is very sad that this guy's dribbling ability is not good. His dribbling speed is not fast, and it is difficult to get the ball to the basket in the face of tough defense.
Therefore, Sam Young's favorite is to suddenly stop his jump shot after one or two moves. Sam Young's shooting level within the three-point line is still very high, which has been confirmed by NBA games.
But because his offensive methods are too single, Link can easily judge when Sam Young will shoot. Whenever Sam Young attacked with the ball, Link would count his steps. After two steps, jump and block directly, one by one.
Because of this, almost every shot of Sam Young today is a defensive shot. If you are Kobe, you can do this naturally. But as an ordinary role player, Sam Young's defensive shooting percentage is a bit horrible.
In two minutes, Sam Young made three shots and none of them hit. This time, after shooting and hitting the iron again, his field goal percentage has become 4 of 0.
Hollins shook his head, that's why he didn't trust Sam Young.
This kid has a strong body, an active defense, and can dunk and shoot. It stands to reason that it would be a very useful substitute. But his impatience on the court limited his progress. He is not stable enough, and the Grizzlies are a team that pays attention to stability.
Seeing Sam Young’s attack was stopped by Link again, Randolph snorted softly. The pressure that Sam Young put on Link was too small, and Randolph decided to make this training more interesting.
So in the next defensive round, Randolph focused on Link. Once Sam Young was breached, he immediately made up for defense. He wanted to see how a yellow-skinned player who seemed to be slow to beat Sam Young so he couldn't raise his head.
Kangli commanded while dribbling the ball, he gesticulated, and Link immediately started to move with his mind!
Although only Elston Turner talked about the tactics once, Link knew that this time his offensive tactic was to score inward! This is an opportunity to show offensive capabilities and must not be messed up.
Conley stopped outside the three-point line and Darrell Arthur went up to cover. This was just a fake screen, Conley didn't plan to attack at all, he was waiting for Link to move.
Link and Gasol completed an off-ball screen coordination. Under Gasol's high quality cover, Link easily got rid of the impatient Sam Young.
At the same time, Conley’s basketball is delivered. Link, who cut into the basket, received the ball and got a chance to attack the frame!
"It's a tacit understanding!" Lionel Hollins clapped his hands off the court. There are many plug-and-play players in the NBA. Their rich experience and high basketball IQ ensure that they can be on any team. Adapt quickly.
But this kind of players are usually veterans. This is the first time Hollins has seen a rookie and can plug and play!
Randolph rushed to the penalty area from the side, and seeing Link jumped up, "Big Black Bear" also jumped up. He didn't intend to be polite to Link, because it was better to be ridiculed by his own blood than to be laughed at in a formal game!
Randolph waved his arms vigorously, but nothing happened! In the air, Link suddenly turned into a pass, pushing the ball from Randolph to the outside.
"What!?" Randolph's eyes widened. Is this guy really a striker? His passing vision is like Mike Conley!
And outside the three-point line, it was Darrell Arthur who was emptied by Randolph.
Darrell. Arthur is not well-known in the NBA, but he was also a character in the NCAA that year. As the head forward of the University of Kansas, he led his team to defeat the University of Memphis with Derek Rose and won the NCAA championship that year.
Arthur was able to fly good deductions in college, but his athletic ability was a little mediocre after he came to the NBA. However, as a fourth position, he has a solid three-pointer, which is his capital in the NBA.
In this era when the spatial type 4 position has not yet become popular, Arthur occasionally makes a three-pointer abruptly, and can always give the opponent a major blow, such as now.
Randolph was completely attracted to the inside by Link, and Arthur got a big open shot. He didn't waste this opportunity, but converted Link's pass into an assist.
Arthur scored, but Link tilted his head towards Randolph, "You almost blocked me."
"Little bastard!" Randolph was yelling, but there was a smile on his face.
This kind of clever and unruly teammate seems to suit Randolph's appetite.
This round, Randolph tried to disarm Link to no avail. In the next round, Randolph didn't expect that he would be disarmed by Link.
This time, Randolph plans to use his tonnage to crush Arthur. But just as he had the ball on his back, he encountered a double team.
It was Link who came up to double-team him!
Hollins frowned, double-teaming Randolph was not his strategy. It is true that a player does not have to follow the instructions of the head coach from time to time on the court, but if the player moves freely and results in a loss of points, it is not allowed.
Then, will Link's free action be successful?
Link's double team is very thief. He has been interfering with Randolph's bottom set, making Randolph afraid to put the ball below his chest. Sam Young has just helped Randolph understand how high the level of cutting the ball is for this No. 0 Chinese.
can't put the ball down, Randolph can't turn back and break through. And at this distance, it is too reluctant to hook or roll over a jumper.
In desperation, Randolph had to pass the ball to Sam Young who was emptied.
Sam Young had a chance to shoot after reaching the basketball from the three-point line, but he hesitated because of his eye-catching three-point shooting rate!
In an NBA level game, hesitate for a second, and the opportunity is fleeting. When he reacted, Link had already returned to Sam Young!
"Pretty!" Hollins couldn't help applauding off the court. He no longer remembered how many times he applauded Link today, but he just couldn't help it.
Link used aggressive running and clever strategies to successfully contain the opponent's offense. This kind of defense is exactly what Hollins likes.
At this time, Hollins couldn't help asking, how did Link lose the election? No matter how bad, he is worth a second round. This basketball IQ alone is enough to make Link rank in the top 60 rookies this year.
Sam Young was so called by Link and had to pass the ball again. Randolph lost his best offensive position due to unsuccessful offense. Their offense was completely destroyed and eventually ended with Mayo's singles.
Seeing Mayo choose to single out Tony Allen, Link shook his head. That guy Mayo, is a typical star disease, no star life.
Gasol took off the rebound, Link's team quickly launched an offense. Conley hit the ball quickly this time, and after receiving a pass from Gasol, he immediately gave it to Link.
But Link was blocked by Sam Young, so it was delayed for some time. Randolph came from behind and ran to the basket to guard.
Although it was blocked~EbookFREE.me~, Link, who is lighter nowadays, is not at all incapable. He broke through Sam Young with a strange change of rhythm, and the feeling of extraordinary breakthrough made Link extremely refreshed.
If you upgrade to Pinnacle Hill in the future, wouldn't the extraordinary sourness take off? After all, Pinnacle Hill's first step is incredible.
After passing Sam Young, Link broke into the restricted area and started three steps directly.
Randolph's reaction was half a beat slow, he thought Link would choose to split the ball, but he didn't expect this kid to be so tough!
Link’s yellow skin always makes people think he is a soft man. But in fact, Link does not reject confrontation.
Because the blocking time was slow, Randolph could not complete the blocking. Instead, his whole heavy body was pressed on Link.
Link gritted his teeth to maintain his balance, trying to ensure that his hand is not deformed. Then, he was knocked out of the bottom line by the "big black bear", but when he fell to the ground, Link heard Turner's whistle and the sound of basketball entering the net!
"Damn it, Zach. You actually gave the opponent a chance to hit a three-pointer. If it were in a formal game, you would be off the court! Well done, Link! If someone takes the defensively lightly, just punish him like this !"
Hollins yelled from the field, Randolph waved his hand helplessly, and walked towards Link.
At first, Link thought Randolph would come and talk trash to himself. As everyone knows, the "big black bear" stretched out a strong arm towards Link on the ground.
"Good job, this is how you should play in Memphis. By the way, I forgot to say at noon, welcome to the Grizzlies, man."
Randolph smiled, he admitted the strength of this yellow-skinned boy.
