: Seventy-three: The pleasure of bullying the future superstar

　　 In the seventh minute of the first quarter, the Thunder have led the Grizzlies by 6 points. Lionel Hollins suspended the game and finally made a staff adjustment.
　　 Link and Tony Allen, the two stars on the bench, went into battle, replacing Mayo and Gasol respectively. Just now, the Thunder have sent a lineup consisting of Westbrook, Harden, Sefolosa, Durant and Ibaka. Since Durant is not a pure insider, the Grizzlies have also replaced a lineup that only has Randolph inside.
　　 Conley, Mr. Tony, Link, Guy and Randolph, the lineup sent by Hollins is very unusual, and the Grizzlies generally don’t keep only one insider on the court.
　　 But today, if you want to beat the energetic Thunder, then you have to use some less conventional methods.
"Be sure to stabilize your position on the defensive end. Tony will go against Westbrook, Link will defend Harden, Conley will go to see Sefrosa, Guy will continue to fight with Durant, Zach will go and discipline Iba. Card. Everyone is optimistic about your match-up and disrupt their offense. We can’t let the Thunder continue to open up the points difference, let them experience our defense, and everyone will be tough!"
　　 Hollins spit, he doesn't want the Grizzlies to have experienced the longest five-game winning streak this season is ended by the Thunder. Indeed, the Thunder is the stronger side on paper. But seeing the Grizzlies catching up with the Rockets and reaching the top eight in the West, Hollins didn't want to give up at the top eight in the West.
　　 The pause time was very short. As soon as the electronic buzzer sounded, Link cast his eyes on Harden. No one can stop the Thunder? Maybe this sentence is correct.
　　 But the evil bear can!
　　 The moment when Link played, the cheers in the FedEx Center Arena immediately rose. Looking up, countless fans are holding signs related to them or waving their avatars. This is his first appearance after becoming an official member of the Grizzlies, and fans naturally look forward to this magical performance of losing the draft.
　　 As an older development league rookie, Link can average 15 points per game, which is enough to make him famous in Memphis. It can be seen that the Grizzlies fans welcome Link's participation very much, and they all hope that Link's appearance can help the team change its disadvantages.
　　 On the other hand, James Harden faced the No. 0 draft pick, but he was not very interested. It seems that Memphis is really out of star, and any draft pick can be so popular here.
　　 And Harden played in the second position, he didn't think he had to play against Link.
　　As everyone knows, when the Grizzlies attacked for the first time, Link found Harden. The bearded guard still doesn't know that he has become a key target for the Grizzlies.
　　 When Conley had just crossed the midfield line with the ball, Tony Allen crossed with Link to force Harden and Sefrosa to switch defenses.
　　 It’s that simple, Harden’s defensive object instantly changed from Tony Allen, who could not attack, to Link.
　　 And as soon as this shift was formed, Conley passed the ball to Link. So there is no doubt that all of this was arranged in advance by the Grizzlies.
　　 In the previous game, Harden's pressure on the defensive end has not been much, because O.J. Mayo somehow is worse than Harden, who played until 3 am yesterday.
　　 But Link is different. He made a three-threat maneuver with the ball and then accelerated. Harden's reaction on the defensive end was already half a beat slow, and was delayed by Randolph's pick and roll. In this way, with ease, Link broke through the sixth man of the Thunder who gave a harsh word yesterday.
　　 Harden was not focused enough on the defensive end, and his defensive attitude was very negative. Harden in the early days has been criticized on the defensive end.
　　 Actually, this guy's ability is fine, just don't want to guard. Sometimes when he was breached or the opponent was in an open position, he simply stopped chasing, and then watched the opponent shoot. So this guy's "eye defense" disappeared, but he is known as a major defense in the league.
　　 Although Harden's defensive attitude was much more correct in the era before Link crossed over, no one ever referred to him as "eye defense". But Harden early in his career is really hard to say...
　　 This is also the case. Harden was unwilling to guard. He went to the nightclub yesterday and drank a lot of alcohol until three o'clock. His physical condition is also very bad today. Don't look at the first quarter of the game is not over, but Harden actually feels very tired.
　　 So, after Link broke through, Harden simply stopped chasing him, but stood there and silently looked at the back of No. 0. In this way, Link easily hit the basket and scored a layup.
　　 Randolph's pick and roll just took Ibaka out. Therefore, Link did not encounter any obstruction in the basket.
"Nice offense, Link scored as soon as he played. James Harden was very negative on the defensive end. Link's appearance made Harden pay for his negativity. Harden said yesterday that no one can stop the Thunder, then Let's see if Link will refute his views with practical actions!"
　　 Weber cheered on the commentary stage. Link scored as soon as he came on the court, which was very encouraging. This means that the coach and the team are driving on the right path.
　　 Link did not celebrate after scoring, but turned to look at Mayo on the bench. Harden is in such a bad state, how did Mayo fight just now? Harden scored so many points, but he only scored 4 points.
　　 Link didn't speculate about Mayo's state anymore, anyway, the buddy felt like he was muddled all day.
　　 James Harden thought that Link’s dislocation attack was just a coincidence, but when he saw Link in front of him on the offensive end, this guy knew that he was being targeted!
　　 "Did you drink a lot yesterday?" When he stepped across to Harden, Link joked playfully.
　　 Harden didn't respond, but gave Link a blank look. He didn't expect this Chinese to be so annoying. Under normal circumstances, Chinese players and Chinese players are rules, but Link broke this impression.
　　 Harden wants to get a chance by running without the ball, but Link's defensive strength can be completely different from O.J. Mayo. No matter where Harden goes, Link will follow him.
　　I got used to the matchup with Mayo, and suddenly there was a matchup that was willing to sell his life, and Harden was really uncomfortable for a while.
　　 On the other side, Westbrook is also in trouble under Tony Allen's defense. Although Conley's defensive skills are also good, but the confrontation ability is not as good as Westbrook. Conley did not lose his position several times, but was pushed by Westbrook.
　　 And Tony Allen will not have such troubles, he is very keen on confrontation, even Westbrook is difficult to take advantage of Tony Allen.
　　 Westbrook burst into the penalty area with the ball, but has been unable to get rid of Tony Allen's entanglement. If he rushes to layup, he is either taken or beaten, and desperately, Westbrook jumps up and intends to take the ball to the outside. The most reliable scoring point on the outside line is Harden!
　　 But Westbrook's pass was too sudden and the accuracy was not high. Moreover, Harden was not ready to catch the ball.
　　 When Harden was still watching the basketball flying towards him in a daze, Link had already started to act. His keen sense of smell does not allow himself to miss this opportunity to get the ball.
　　 Link straightened his arm, spread his five fingers, and successfully cut off the basketball! He moved quickly, and Harden watched Link run two steps away before remembering to keep up.
　　 Thunder coach Scott Brooks saw this scene and almost didn't get angry. Westbrook and Harden, the two guards, can destroy each other if they play well, but they can destroy each other if they don't play well.
　　 Link rushed to the front with the ball, but with his current athletic ability, he knew he would be caught up soon. Therefore, Link, who scored the free throw, passed the ball diagonally to the rear!
　　 Because of Link, the entire defense of the Thunder shrinks inward. Therefore, Rudy Gay, who was chasing after him, was forgotten by Durant.
　　 When he received the basketball, Rudy Gay was one step inside the three-point line. He immediately stopped shooting after receiving the ball without hesitation. Guy is already in excellent form today, and he will not miss any scoring opportunities.
　　 Mid-range jump shots have always been Guy's strong point. Without the interference of Durant, the "monster", Guy can finally make a comfortable shot.
　　 The basketball hollowed into the net, and Link assisted Guy again to score. Gay also found that every time Link passes to himself, he basically gets a chance to score easily.
　　 "2 points, the Grizzlies have reduced the point difference to 2 points. Their advantage is gradually disappearing, and coach Hollins has a significant role in substitution!"
　　Weber knew very well that Brooks was about to replace Durant and Westbrook. Although Brooks is a coach who relies heavily on starting, he can't let a player play for 48 minutes.
　　 With two minutes left in the first quarter, Westbrook and Durant are likely to be replaced. At that time, the Thunder will want to stabilize the situation, but it will not be so easy.
　　 Therefore, for the Thunder, they only have two rounds to consolidate their advantage.
　　 It's the Grizzlies' defensive round again. When Westbrook once again took possession of the ball, he felt a little nervous. Tony Allen’s defense is too oppressive.
　　 There is also Harden in his heart, and this grotesque Chinese seems to not let him go today. Maybe he shouldn't have ranted yesterday, but what he said cannot be taken back.
　　 This time, Westbrook obediently handed the ball to Durant. At the critical moment, the two guards of the Thunder couldn't make a noise, and Durant had to come.
　　 However, Guy, who is already morale up, did not let Durant score easily this time. He pressed close all the way and didn't give Durant shot space. And Durant and Paul George in this period have a common shortcoming, that is, the dribbling center of gravity is too high, which makes the threat of the offensive with the ball low.
　　 Durant dribbled the ball to make a breakthrough, but was easily stopped by Guy. Finally, Durant pulled out his hand at the mid-range position, and Gay sealed it in time.
　　 In the end, Durant, who was placed high hopes by the Thunder, failed to manage the Grizzlies' defense. Hollins raised his mouth proudly, defense will never go out of style in the NBA!
　　 Randolph protected the rebound, then handed the ball to Conley. At the same time off the court, Scott Brooks has got Krstic and Jeff Green ready to play. This means that Durant and Westbrook are running out of time on the court.
　　 2 points difference is still ~EbookFREE.me~ Whether the Thunder can hold, it all depends on this round!
　　 This time, Link took the initiative to charge Conley for the ball. Seeing Harden's blurred eyes, Link couldn't help but want to continue beating him.
　　 The scoring opportunities that come to the door are wasted.
　　 Harden gritted his teeth, he knew he was being despised. He wanted to defend hard, but he felt exhausted physically and mentally.
　　 And Link gets even more excited when he thinks that he missed two blonde stunners yesterday. It's for you to let them go. If you don't play well once, you will lose a lot!
　　 Link didn't directly attack after getting the basketball, but gave the ball to Randolph! As soon as he passed the ball, Link immediately cut in!
　　 When Link cut to the free throw line, Harden was still outside the three-point line! For the opponent's sudden move without the ball, Harden showed his defensive eyes as always.
　　 Randolph returned the ball to Link as a transit point, and Link was not going to be polite this time. He motivated, leaped high, put the ball behind his head with both hands, and then smashed the frame fiercely!
　　 "Dump dunks with both hands, Link made a powerful attack!"
　　 Along with Weber's call, the cheers in the FedEx Arena also spewed out like a volcanic eruption.
　　 "Link! Link! Link! Link!" In the stands, the fans shouted Link's name neatly, and his dunks made the audience exhale!
　　 Hang the frame, let go, land, and high-five Randolph, and then escape Randolph's headshot. After this series of procedures, Link did not forget to look at Harden and hook his finger.
　　 The feeling of bullying the future superstar made Link a little addicted.
　　 Brooks had to suspend the game and replace his Gemini. And even worse, the Thunder now has no lead.
