: Six hundred and ninety-four: The clumsy grizzly

Before the game began, the shouts from the Bradley Center were not very enthusiastic.
In the stands, the fans were sparse. Link even saw a lot of fans wearing Grizzlies jerseys, and didn't know if they came from a long way from Memphis.
Aside from the Grizzlies fans who came to join in, I really don't know how many people can watch this game.
In a place with such a low popularity, naturally there is no need for a first introduction ceremony. The starting five tigers of both sides stepped directly into the court to prepare for the game, and Link greeted everyone on the opposite side very well.
The battle with the Thunder just ended, and Link was full of the Thunder, the playoffs, the Western Conference Finals... the Milwaukee Bucks? Link when they came to play the warm-up match.
The Bucks' starting lineup is indeed ugly. The guard line changed from last season's Ellis + Jennings to veteran Luke Ridnour and the 11th No. 8 pick Brandon Knight.
Ridnour has been tepid in the league, and he was only 10+5 at his peak. Brandon Knight is even more of a tragedy. The picture of Irving being shaken twice in a row during the All-Star rookie game is the most memorable moment in his career so far.
The center is played by "artist" Larry Sanders, who entered the league in the same year as Link. Why is this guy an "artist"? Because in the future, this guy will actually put a million dollars in annual salary and sell tofu without playing basketball! No, it's art.
But he never expected that when he didn't realize his art and wanted to come back to earn ten million annual salary, there would be no such opportunity.
As for the forward line, there are Turks Ilyasova and Link’s little brother Yannis Antetokounmpo.
Compared with the original Grizzlies, the Bucks' starting set is more like a hodgepodge of various third-rate and nine-teaching.
Even their coach, Larry Drew, is a wandering "wanderer".
It is worth mentioning that the Bucks are still sitting on the bench at this time, the Grizzlies once "the next Kobe" o.j. Mayo. He was still enjoying the core status in Dallas last season, and he has successfully become a substitute this season through his own death.
His reunion with the Grizzlies could not even be hyped as a topic.
I don't know how Mayo feels watching Link lead the Grizzlies all the way.
Let the Grizzlies go to a great task, it clearly belonged to him back then...
It's really not surprising that such a team has a 7-30 record.
The Grizzlies players are tired, but the lean camel is bigger than the horse. Link believes that it should be very easy to win such a team at the bottom of the league.
The referee blew his whistle, and Larry Sanders won the basketball with a faster bounce.
Gasol didn't seem to get off the ground much, obviously he couldn't jump. The first attack was taken away by the Bucks, and Ridnour calmly controlled the ball to advance.
Ridnour just passed the midfield line and handed the ball to Knight. Knight is now the key training target of the Bucks, although the scene of him being shaken by Irving twice in a row is very embarrassing. But in addition, Knight is also able to contribute 18.2 points per game this season.
This data is Knight's career high.
There is no doubt that he is the most explosive scorer for the Bucks this season. When you are in a normal state, you can get ten points, and when you are in a good state, you can get thirty points.
Half a month ago, in the Bucks and Lakers game on January 1, Knight just drew a career-high 37 points in a single game.
Knight has a strong desire to attack today. After he made a three-threat maneuver, he called Ilyasova to cover himself.
Although the Bucks are currently at the bottom of the league, their goal this season is Andrew Wiggins. But as a young player, Knight does not want to keep losing like this.
After a season, there are occasionally one or two games, and the Bucks are also very keen to win.
For example, facing the league first! After all, what can increase media exposure better than beating the league's first place?
Knight's breakthrough was very rapid, and Iguodala dragged his tired legs horizontally, but the horizontal speed was much slower than usual.
Coupled with being blocked by Ilyasova, Iguodala lost his defensive position directly.
Knight broke through to the mid-range and calmly stopped the jumper before the Grizzlies' defense came up!
As a defender who was as famous as Irving in the draft, as a defender who was also predicted to be selected in the No. 1 pick in college, Knight didn't want to sink into it.
Being abandoned by Detroit made him very sad, but in Milwaukee, everything can start again.
"brush!"
With basketball into the net, Knight led the Bucks. Until then, Linkets finally heard faint cheers from the stands.
Knight shook his fist silently, then high-five Ilyasova, looking very excited.
"Damn it, my fault!" Iguodala raised his right arm and was easily scored by a kid, which made Iguodala blame himself very much.
Link didn't blame Iguodala, but the physical problem of the big guy seemed more serious than expected.
After the Grizzlies offense, Antetokounmpo, as he said before the game, had no reservations about Link.
Being entangled by a "big spider", Link felt a little upset. As if for an instant, he was back in the matchup with Durant yesterday.
In fact, Link is not unable to get rid of Antetokounmpo, but that requires a lot of physical energy, just like it did with Durant yesterday.
In Link's expectation, he might be able to tidy up the infant "Brother Alphabet" with half success. But in fact, Link seemed to have to spend a bit of effort to defeat this guy who regarded himself as an idol.
However, Link's lack of strength now.
In Link's not very active running, Antetokounmpo blocked Link's receiving route.
In desperation, Conley had to break through. Ridnour's defense has always been bad, and it is not difficult for Conley to break through him.
But the difficulty is that the moment Conley hit the basket and layup, Larry Sanders, who had excellent athletic ability and played aggressively, came out. His height of 2.11 meters and slender arms put Conley under great pressure.
In order to avoid blocking, Conley had to change the arc of the layup. However, once this arc is changed, it lacks accuracy.
"Boom!" The rim made a crisp sound, and Conley's layup hit the iron under Sanders' defense!
Gasol rushed to the basket immediately, he wanted to scramble for offensive rebounds.
However, Sanders quickly took off twice immediately after interfering with Conley, stupefied to catch the rebounds before Gasol.
Gasol is not a sportsman-type player, coupled with the disadvantage of not recovering his physical fitness, his bounce and speed are even worse.
With two rounds of attack and defense, the Grizzlies feel cumbersome.
Whether it's Iguodala or Gasol or even Link who can't get rid of Antetokounmpo, everyone has lead on their feet and can't run or jump.
Considering that they were still fighting with the Thunder 24 hours ago, and still enduring the sleet in Milwaukee at 4 am, all this seems to make sense.
Defending champions are not machines, they are also humans! As long as it is human, it will feel tired.
After Larry Sanders successfully scored the rebound, the Bucks launched a counterattack.
Ridnour quickly put the ball on to Knight, Knight ran all the way, and finally sent the ball to Antetokounmpo, who cut from the other side!
Then people were surprised to find that Antetokounmpo actually got rid of Link's two or three positions!
Whether it's positional defense or switching offensive defense, Link has always done a great job. Even if it is a fast break, it is difficult for others to completely get rid of Link's shackles.
As a third position, Link has averaged 1.4 blocks per game so far this season, which is not a joke. His chasing after him again and again has always made people frightened.
Last summer, Link mainly strengthened his defense. This season, his defense has been excellent from data to effect.
But this time, Antetokounmpo easily got rid of Link.
Link really didn't feel like he could run. Of course, he could still run fast by gritting his teeth. But in the case of exhaustion, this kind of power can not burst at any time.
And Antetokounmpo's strides are too big, Link feels that Antetokounmpo has only taken two or three steps to get out, and people have already run far.
After throwing off Link, Antetokounmpo completed a heavy one-handed buckle after receiving the basketball!
Although Antetokounmpo is thin, but the dunk power is not small. The vigorous dunks done by players with slender arms are always full of extreme violent beauty!
"The counterattack was successful, and Yang Nisi's quick descent was very positive, and even Link failed to keep up! The Bucks led 4-0, and the defending champion seemed out of shape today!"
The narrator's roar on the commentary stage ~EbookFREE.me~ seemed to revitalize the Bradley Center.
Bucks fans have found a problem-facing the grizzly bears seriously injured, it seems that they will not necessarily lose!
So, after Antetokounmpo dunked, there was a fierce cheer in the Bradley Center.
Defeat the league first? This may be the only comfort the Bucks fans can get this season.
Antetokounmpo did not yell angrily after dunking, but smiled and pointed his finger at the sky.
Just now, he threw off his idol and finished the dunk, not to mention that he was so happy.
Link stopped and shook his head. The Bucks are playing very fast today, and their athletic talent is really outstanding.
After just following two rounds, Link felt his body was extremely heavy, not to mention the others.
What about winning easily? This trip to Milwaukee became less interesting.
