: Six hundred and twenty-eight: I really don't want to stand up against him

The Spurs have been lagging behind except for the first three-pointer.
Link's performance is too eye-catching. There is nothing he can't do with blocks, steals, assists, and points.
Leonard did limit Link's defense a bit, but the limit was not enough.
When you face an opponent where you can score your opponent, it becomes almost impossible to limit him completely.
The Spurs have been trying to chase points, but Link's excellent performance made the Spurs breathless.
During the preseason, Link has let everyone see his excellent state. However, some people believe that the preseason is not a real game, and Link’s performance in the official game is likely to shrink.
But today the situation is just the opposite. Link performed better than in the preseason!
When Link was off the court, he had already swept away 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, filling the data sheet. The Spurs are therefore 6 points behind the Grizzlies with 4 minutes left in the first quarter.
The score difference is not big, but from the scene, the Spurs are not at all dominant. If you continue to play at this rhythm, it is only a matter of time before the points difference is opened.
But seeing Link's exit, Popovich immediately became glaring. His long-awaited opportunity has finally come!
No matter how great Link is, he can't make his teammates play like him!
"Manu, make more breakthroughs and create fouls. The players on the opposite side of the rotation are just a bunch of kids, let them pay!"
"Dior, look for opportunities from the outside, open up space, and take the open shots!"
"Mills! If you make a mistake, you're done!"
Popovich picked up the tactical board to write and draw, he was extremely confident of the depth of the Spurs bench.
The Grizzlies may be a strong starter, but no matter how strong they are, they cannot play for 48 minutes. Uh...except for Tom Thibodeau's starting.
The Grizzlies' bench lineup is basically dominated by young people, Delavidova is a rookie, or loses the draft. Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris are not very experienced either.
Azeri's second grade is not mature either. Only Tony Allen, who is experienced enough to win the Celtics and Grizzlies respectively, can't attack yet.
So taking advantage of the Grizzlies swapping the full bench to tie or even open the score, this is Popovich's strategy.
On the other side, Dave Georgel is also nervously arranging tactics. Under normal circumstances, he rarely sends a full bench. But today is the first game, and Georgel also hopes to test the depth of the team's bench.
Preseason? The preseason is to restore players to their form, to allow the team to run into the lineup. But in a game where everyone is not playing too seriously, it is impossible to test the strength of the team's bench lineup.
Link sat on the bench, silently watching Georgel set up tactics. When the timeout was over and the electronic buzzer sounded again, Link stood up, and put his arms around Jimmy Butler and Harris' necks.
"Well, don't shame me. You have practiced with me for a summer and let the Spurs see your progress. The Spurs definitely want to gain an advantage over you. Tell them, stop dreaming."
After speaking, Link patted Butler and Harris on the shoulders, then returned to the bench and leaned back in the chair easily.
"What did you tell them?" Randolph asked, turning his head curiously.
"It's nothing, just tell them to fight like a champion!"
"Ha, then can't let the Spurs take a breath." Randolph waved his hand, and Link was already in control of the team.
Can't the rest of the Grizzlies fight like Link? Not necessarily.
The game restarted and Link sat on the bench, but the camera still gave him a close-up shot.
"No one knows what Link said to them. I think the Spurs must be very nervous right now. They thought Link would be able to catch their breath after they left the game, but now Link has conveyed his will to Butler and Harris. Body. Let’s see how the Grizzlies’ bench is performing."
Popovich was really nervous, he didn't know what Link said to the two guys. But he knew that Link would definitely not talk nonsense with them.
The game restarted, the Spurs' offensive round. Ginobili used his ghostly position to cut towards the basket as planned.
The "Demon Blade"'s running and jumping ability has never been the top of the league, but it relies on excellent insight and magical walking to obtain opportunities. So even after he got older, Manu's breakthrough was still angry.
Under Azeri's interception, Ginobili leaned on his side and avoided the block, and made a layup easily.
Popovich let out a sigh of relief, and the ball stabilized the situation. He even wondered if he was a bit nervous. The Spurs have Ginobili on the bench. Even if he is afraid, the Grizzlies are afraid!
After seeing Ginobili's goal, Jimmy Butler couldn't help but glanced at the bench. Then he found that Link was frowning and staring at him!
Butler shivered, didn't he just let Ginobili score a goal? As for! ?
Link's demands on him are getting higher and higher, and it feels uncomfortable to be stared at by the boss all the time. Butler knew that if he didn't return one, his eyes would have been behind him.
Butler wiped the scared sweat on his forehead, picked up the basketball and passed by Delavidova. "Della, try to pass the ball to me if you have a chance."
"what?"
"Ah what, otherwise you will be counted as a single against Link?"
"Oh...understood." Delavidova understood instantly, don't want to be caught by Link the next day to torment him? Then abuse your opponent today.
"The Grizzlies offensive, to be honest, the Grizzlies lack offensive points in the second team. Last season, Vasquez was an excellent breakthrough player and a perfect offensive starting point. But Delavido replaced him. Wa...As a failed draft pick, he still has a long way to go. And the others in this lineup may not be able to score steadily. Is Coach Georgle too conservative? Shouldn't he be on it? Nick Young?"
Just as Mike Brin questioned Jogel's hiring strategy, Delavidova took the ball through halftime.
Just as Mills was about to press, Delavidova hurriedly handed the ball to Tony Allen, obviously a little afraid of making a mistake in the press.
Popovich almost didn't laugh. Is there a point guard in the world who dare not control the ball?
Tony Allen receives the ball, which is the situation the Spurs hope to see. This summer Tony Allen renewed the Grizzlies contract with 20 million in 4 years, not 40 million in 4 years. The 20 million less is less on offense.
Tony Allen didn't dribble the ball, but played hand-to-hand with Jimmy Butler.
Popovich is still not too concerned. Although Jimmy Butler had a single game of 20+ points in the finals last season, it was just a flash in the pan.
Jimmy Butler's biggest role is defense. As Mike Brin said, the Grizzlies seem to be unable to score.
Jimmy Butler took the basketball from Tony Allen, and the person who defended him became the Italian Bellinelli.
Butler lowered his center of gravity and started to accelerate!
Belinelli is not fast, but he is experienced. He retreated quickly, trying to seal Butler's breakthrough.
Anyway, Butler is not a player with particularly delicate offensive skills, but just aggressive. Don't let him get to the basket, he has no threat.
Belinelli was thinking about it, but Butler suddenly stopped and then jumped skillfully.
"Stop a jumper?" Belinelli was stunned for a moment before blocking it up.
It's not that Belinelli is slow, but that he is really unprepared. Last season, Butler's field goal percentage was a disaster. With the exception of the basket and the three-point line, no position where he can shoot more than 35%.
You can't do well with open shots, so you want to stop your jump shots?
Butler's offense was really not good last season, but this summer, he also worked hard.
Under Belinelli's equivalent to no interference, Butler finished his shots consistently! Single against Link? Forget it!
"brush!"
"The ball came in. Jimmy Butler's emergency stop jumper, hahahaha, last season, Butler did not have this hand. This summer, Butler is also a member of Link training camp. Maybe he and others It’s the same, it’s reborn long ago!"
Mike Brin clapped, and Jimmy Butler yelled excitedly on the court.
People thought he was excited about scoring goals, but in fact, he was excited about not having to face Link tomorrow.
Popovich's face turned purple, Jimmy Butler stopped his jumper? Got it! ? It's too fantasy!
After finally seeing some signs of overtaking, it went back to 6 points.
Popovich then made a few gestures. He signaled Mills to go to Dravidova and beat the draft!
Link also lost the draft, but no one believes that the Grizzlies can get the second consecutive "Link".
Delavidova's data in the summer league is also very general. It looks like a player who has no characteristics, just used to fill the playing time. Had it not been for the free agency market this summer that the Grizzlies could not get a quality point guard, they would not have chosen to sign Delavidova.
It's okay to catch this kind of person, Popovich can't accept that the Spurs are also passive in rotation.
Mills played a screen with Bonner as planned. Bonner's three-point range allowed Azeri to be nailed to the three-point line and could not help Delavidova to cover Mills.
Mills made a breakthrough, and Popovich thought, it should be done now!
Mills aimed at the hoop ~EbookFREE.me~ ready to layup. Just when he was about to start three steps, he suddenly felt that he was hit by someone.
Looking down, it was a crazy "groundhog".
Dravidova chased back desperately, and got on the body for the first time. Under this strong confrontation, Mills felt a little unstable and hurried to pass the ball.
But because the pass was too sudden, not only Mills was not ready, but Ginobili, who received the ball, was not ready.
In this way, the basketball flew out of the baseline, and Delavidova won the ball with his toughness!
"Foul, foul, can't you see? Fuck, let that Australian go to play rugby!" Popovich was angry, of course, seeing Dravidova again, he couldn't laugh.
Dravidova's move just now is indeed very big, but it is in the range of blowing or not blowing. The referee did not say that Popovich was useless even if he broke his throat.
The Grizzlies won the ball and the Spurs lost the opportunity to narrow the score.
Butler and Delavidova both turned their heads to look at Link, and found that Link gave them a thumbs up.
The two let out a sigh of relief, they are temporarily safe!
Tobias Harris swallowed, and now the pressure is on him...I don't want to let the Spurs go, I really don't want to stand up against Link!
After arguing with the referee to no avail, Popovich fell off his tactical board.
I thought the Grizzlies had only Link as a bastard, but now Popovich found that the Grizzlies' bench is not easy to mess with.
This team has been deeply affected by Link. Even if Link is not present, the other Grizzlies seem to have Link's shadow.
From now on Link can tell others righteously that this is his team.
