: Fifty-three: fill shortcomings

　　 Link's appearance made the Grizzlies reverse the situation in an instant. After all, the Raptors are a big team. While they are big, they also lost the star Bargnani, so the strength is naturally not too strong.
　　 Under the circumstances that the strength itself is not strong, Kleiza, who has the potential to explode today, is still locked, which undoubtedly makes the Raptors worse.
　　 Without Kleiza, who should the Raptors use to attack? Joey Dorsey? That short center who is the same height as Link and knows nothing but dunks?
　　 Amir Johnson? That pure blue collar who plays fiercely?
　　 Or Calderon, who is almost 30 years old, and DeRozan, who is only in the second grade?
　　 The Raptors can't even find a reliable offensive point. This is the dilemma they must face now.
　　 So after the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies went from being behind by 8 points to leading by 8 points. Link scored 5 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. The data is not amazing, but his successful defense of Kleiza is the most important reason the Grizzlies can lead.
　　 "I don't know if you noticed that Link seems to be more aggressive on defense than before. He is now more like a typical Grizzlies player."
　　 During the break of the first quarter, the commentators did not talk about Rudy Gay or Kleiza, but focused on Link.
"Indeed, his pressing against Kleiza left Lithuania at a loss. Fighting back-to-back, the main players of the Grizzlies are very tired. I think today's substitute players will dominate the game. Link, has already done a great job. Good example."
　　 It is not unreasonable for the commentator to analyze this way, and Link finished off in the eighth minute of the first quarter. As a substitute, he did not play the first quarter. This must be because Hollins hopes that he will start as soon as the second quarter begins!
　　 Use the Raiders to open the score at the beginning of the second quarter, and then use the starting line to consolidate the advantage. This must be Hollins' idea!
　　 The plan of that guy is very clear, just take advantage of this breath, and pull the difference away in one breath.
　　 As expected, after the opening of the second quarter, Hollins made the two substitutes starters in one go. Rudy Gay sat off the court to take a few breaths, and the arrogant O.J. Mayo became a "substitute" again.
　　 Tony Allen and Link went into battle with Conley, Randolph and Gasol. Hollins believes that this lineup is enough to give the Raptors a good drink. After the equal difference is opened, two chaos masters, Guy and Mayo, are replaced. Isn't it easy to open the score?
　　 Kleiza immediately became extremely nervous when he saw Link coming back. Link did not know that Kleiza had become the first NBA player to be afraid of him.
　　 The first offense of the Raptors made it difficult for the old Spanish guard Calderon. Because neither DeRozan nor Kleiza can get rid of the entanglement between Link and Tony Allen.
　　 Inside Joey and Amir Johnson are not the kind of masters who can play singles in the low post. What's more, defending them is the fierce black and white bears.
　　 Calderon wanted to attack by himself, but Mike Conley was not easy to provoke. Among all the first positions in the league, Xiao Kangli's defense can definitely be ranked first.
　　 Five positions, five of them are defensive champions. Hollins' formation does not follow his mood. He has long wanted to try how powerful this terrible defensive lineup can burst.
　　 If this lineup is really successful, the defensive madman Hollins believes that this will make the Grizzlies go further in the playoffs!
　　 Well, but the top priority now is to squeeze into the top eight in the West before talking about the playoffs.
　　As a point guard, the most embarrassing thing is that no one can pass the ball. Calderon is now facing this embarrassment, the Grizzlies' lineup is too cruel.
　　 In desperation, Calderon had to call a pick-and-roll, planning to come by himself.
　　 It's a pity that, under Conley's strong defense, the Spanish defender's throw shot out of the box.
　　 As soon as Calderon took the shot, Link was already running towards the front court. Although Hill's athletic ability in the 09-10 season is not good, it is still much better than Kleiza.
　　 Link took the lead to the right bottom corner, Mike Conley received the pass from Randolph and went straight to the backfield for a long pass!
　　 "Link, when did he run over!?"
　　 Along with the yelling of the commentators, Kleiza ran desperately. It's a pity that he can't keep up with the speed of basketball.
　　 Just like that, Kleiza watched as Link lifted the basketball in the right bottom corner, took off, pressed his wrist, and moved his fingers.
　　 Link's shooting is very standard and pleasing to the eye. On the premise of good-looking action, the hit rate is also very impressive.
"brush!"
　　 The basketball is hollowed into the net without even touching the rim. The Grizzlies have always lacked a solid three-point shooter, and now they have it.
"A three-pointer in a counterattack, haha, the previous Grizzlies couldn't play this kind of offense. By 11 points, the Raptors are 11 points behind the Grizzlies. If the Raptors can't overcome this obstacle, the game may It will end early!"
　　 Kleiza only felt Link's power on the defensive end in the first quarter of the game, but now, Link will let Kleiza feel what his offense is like.
　　 20 seconds later, the Grizzlies made a comeback. Just after the Raptors offense, DeRozan actually chose to single out Tony Allen. I have to say that this is the stupidest decision Link has ever seen.
　　Sure enough, DeRozan's single offensive method made Tony Allen guess him too hard. Allen contracted all the way, waiting for DeRozan to layup. Under severe interference, DeRozan's layup knocked out. In this way, the Grizzlies got another chance to score.
　　 This time, Conley hit the ball to Gasol. According to the original plan of the Raptors, once the black and white bears get the ball in the low post, they must immediately double-team.
　　 But at this time, Kleiza couldn't leave Link and go to double Gasol. He has just experienced how accurate the 3 points of this 0's open position is.
　　 So Gasol easily managed to single Joey Dorsey on the inside. Little Gasol is 2.16 meters tall and Dorsey is 2.03 meters tall. When the Spanish center hooks, Joey Dorsey can only watch.
　　 13 points, the difference is still expanding.
　　 After this, Randolph also showed his magic. Gasol took the ball again in the low post, and Amir Johnson had to help defend.
　　 So Gasol passed the basketball to the middle distance very tacitly. Randolph, who was shorted, made a steady hit. This guy was waiting for this opportunity.
　　 15 points difference, the Raptors are almost crippled.
　　 moved the whole body, the appearance of Link messed up the Raptors' defense and made the Grizzlies' offense easier. It's as if the Thunder took off directly after owning Perkins, a tough guy inside defense.
　　 Maybe Link and Perkins are not really strong players, but they fill the biggest shortcomings of a team, which is enough to make a team's strength rise by a big margin. To fill the team's shortcomings, this is precisely the greatest value of role players.
　　 At this time, Jane Triano made a low-level mistake. He didn't call a timeout in time, but instead encouraged the players to seize the next attack opportunity on the sidelines.
　　 Triano also lost in a hurry. Although this is his third year coaching the Raptors, he is still a rookie coach. At the critical moment, Triano seemed not calm enough.
　　 Triano was in a hurry on the court, but the players on the court were demoralized.
　　 Especially Kleiza, as the starting forward of the Lithuanian national team, as a quasi-NBA starter with an annual salary of 5 million, he was defeated by a draft pick.
　　 This plunged Kleiza into a deep self-doubt.
　　 This negative state eventually made Kleiza take a big shot at Link from beyond the three-point line. There is nothing confusing about his shooting. For this kind of pretense, Link has always been willing to come.
　　 Link's blocking of Kleiza from beyond the three-point line brought the morale of the Raptors players to the lowest point. Although the ball still belonged to the Raptors after blocking, they did not find an offensive opportunity until the 24 second violation.
"15 points difference, the Raptors must stand up! If the Grizzlies continue to open the score, the game will be over early! You know, OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay are still there. Gearing up on the bench!"
　　The commentators are all worried about the Raptors. After all, no one likes to explain a game without suspense.
　　 After the previous attacks, the black and white bears have already played their momentum. This time, they continued to demand the ball, intending to disintegrate the Raptors from the inside.
　　 Kleizath thought about it, and finally decided to double-team according to tactics!
　　 It's a pity that Gasol's golf quotient has not been low. He is one of the best centers in the league. Seeing Kleiza pounce at him, he passed the ball to the right corner without thinking.
　　 Over there, Link is already ready.
　　 "Damn, damn!" Kleiza had collapsed, and he hurriedly turned back. This is the case with 3D players. They seem to have little strength, but they can really drive defenders crazy.
　　 Looking at the horrified expression on Kleiza's face, Link did not immediately shoot the ball, but pointed at his feet. It means: "I will end you here."
　　 "Too crazy!" Kleiza was completely irritated, and he didn't allow a draft pick to offend himself so much. Therefore, the Lithuanians rushed towards Link like crazy.
　　 Link finished the shot before Kleiza's interference came up. Like just now, Link felt extremely hot.
　　 As soon as he threw the basketball out, Kleiza slapped his horse and arrived. Because of the rush, Kleiza ran into Link and both fell to the bench at the same time.
　　 "Beep beep!" The referee's hastily whistle sounded, and what's even more incredible is that the basketball flying in mid-air is still hollow!
　　 "Andone! The goal was effective, four points, Kleiza actually gave Link a chance to play four points!"
　　 Hearing that he was called a foul, Link also scored the goal, Kleiza immediately got up to complain to the referee.
　　 Lithuanians can guarantee that this is definitely the most emotional and emotional night of his career.
　　 It's a pity that the referee turned a deaf ear to Kleiza's representations. Kleiza's actions were indeed too great just now. If the referee doesn't blow the ball, given the personality of the Grizzlies players, the game will definitely lose control.
　　 "Hahaha, thank you for my wonderful pass! Well done man, you are so amazing today!"
　　 Link was still lying in the pile of swaying chairs, but he did not expect that Marc Gasol would be the first to pull himself up. In the past few days, Gasol has been tepid to him.
　　 But after this goal, Link believed that he had completely won Gasol's trust.
　　 After continuing Tony Allen and Randolph, he gained the trust of a general, and Link believed that his Grizzlies career would become more and more enjoyable.
　　 After being pulled up by Randolph and Gasol, Link stood on the free throw line. After adjusting his breath, he made a steady free throw in the hopeless interference of the Raptors fans.
　　 hit four points, Link widened the point difference to 19 points! During the time when the starting lineup and the bench were mixed and matched, the Grizzlies played a wave of 11-0 offensive climax with the Raptors!
　　 "The Raptors finally paused. They are almost 20 points behind. Can you believe it? When did the Grizzlies, known for their defense, actually have an offensive climax?"
　　 Although what the commentator said was a question, everyone knew the answer to this question.
