The last offense in the first quarter, the Grizzlies have the ball. James Harden stood sweating from the three-point line and holding the ball in front of him was the older rookie Link, who played for the first time as an official Grizzlies player today.
Today's game, the Thunder can be described as driving high and low. In the beginning, the two sides played inextricably. But when Brooks replaced Harden and Ibaka, the Thunder gradually took the initiative. However, after the Grizzlies also made personnel adjustments, the Thunder fell into trouble again.
Since Westbrook and Durant went off the field, the Thunder have not scored. At this point, they have gone from a 6-point lead at the beginning to a 4-point lead behind.
James Harden’s several offenses were all disturbed by the yellow-skinned No. 0 forward. In front of Link, Harden's offense played very hard.
Now, the game has reached the last round of the first quarter. If the Thunder can't guard the ball, they must enter the second quarter with a 6-point gap. And if Harden can't prevent the ball, he'll lose face.
Seeing this, many Thunder fans have checked Chalink's information online, wanting to see which guy is the rookie this year, and he can actually beat Harden to the top.
However, the results of the investigation have surprised many Thunder fans who don't know Link.
In the column of the draft pick, Link’s information is not a number, but a word—lost.
A missed draft, almost blasted James Harden?
The Thunder fans swallowed, which is a shame.
Link, who was holding the ball, raised his eyes and looked at the time on the backboard timer. There were 12.5 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.
He controlled the ball calmly and wanted time to make the final attack. Although people already know that Link is an old senior player, they can't help but marvel when they see this guy so calm at the last moment.
"Let me say that this kid Link is born for the big moment. The composure in the final round of the game, even many players with many years of NBA experience do not have it." Weber found that he liked this Chinese more and more. The kid, at first he thought that as a senior rookie, Link's ceiling would not be too high.
But now, Weber feels that Link has unlimited potential.
After only 5 seconds left on the timer, Randolph mentioned it and Link started! Judging from the fact that the last attack was handed over to Link instead of Guy, Conley and others, we know how much Link is trusted by Hollins now.
Ibaka didn't plan to sit still this time, he was ready to wipe Harden's ass. So he delayed by two steps, ready to defend Link at any time.
Sure enough, Harden was easily broken through, Randolph's screen was too tough for Harden.
After Link bypassed Randolph, he found that Ibaka was already waiting for him. But now that there is not much time left, Link can't shrink back, nor can he temporarily shake the pot.
So, he still broke through firmly. Under Ibaka's blockade, Link took a layup against the opponent!
At this time, Ibaka has not been bothered by injuries. His athletic ability is very terrifying, and the cover height is very scary.
Link will naturally not fight with Ibaka. If he is tough, he will definitely be able to score the top five goals, but only as the top five on the background board for Ibaka to complete the block.
In the confrontation with Ibaka, Lin forcefully took off. But in the air, he didn't directly layup, but gently threw the basketball to the backboard!
"A confrontational layup, which is very bad for Link." Everyone knows that Ibaka's physical fitness is not at the same level as Link. Weber thinks it is difficult for Link to hit the ball.
But at this time, Link's trainer Marcus Will smiled comfortingly. This kid has made great progress against mid-range layups. Not only did he maintain the integrity of his shots during the confrontation, he also ensured that his center of gravity would not fall apart.
The rate of improvement of this undrafted pick surprised Marcus Will. Is he really a senior? In Will's opinion, let alone the formation of this guy, I am afraid that even half of his potential has not yet been tapped!
Under Link's steady shot, the ball rubbed to the upper edge of the basket, and then lightly refracted into the net. Due to the very high arc of the basketball, even Ibaka could not complete the shot.
The moment the basketball hits the net, the red light on the backboard lights up! At the end of the first quarter, Link used a steady buzzer attack to help the Grizzlies get a 6-point lead at the end of the first quarter!
"Nice high toss for the layup. Link's offense is so clever! His confrontation and athleticism are not as good as Ibaka, but he took a different approach and defeated the Congo forward in other ways! A buzzer layup! , Link successfully helped the Grizzlies reverse the situation. Listen to the cheers on the scene, he is now the most dazzling star in Memphis!"
Webber didn't expect Link to be so calm at the critical moment and find a way to control the enemy in the air. In fact, Link had to thank him for his experience of watching the ball just before crossing over.
In the future, the superstar Stephen Curry is a player of average physical quality. But in addition to a perverted three-pointer, Curry also has a high scoring rate at the basket.
While Curry is not dominant in physical fitness and bounce, he uses high toss to hit the layup to avoid blocks. Link just imitated Curry's layup method. In terms of his soft touch, it is not difficult to replicate that kind of layup.
"Hahaha, your kid did a great job! You are the one who scored a goal at the buzzer!"
Just as Link scored, his teammates rushed to hug him. Randolph is the most active, and he is undoubtedly the happiest to get such a player on the Grizzlies.
As for James Harden, the only way out of the maddening flower show yesterday was to walk down the court. Numerous cameras aimed at him, but he knew that reporters and fans today would certainly not speak good things about themselves.
In this hotly fired sixth man VS sixth man game, he temporarily failed. If you want to restore the situation, Harden must perform well in the next three quarters.
The bearded guard gritted his teeth, he doesn't want to drag the team back!
"Your performance in the first quarter made me incredibly proud. This is the backbone of the Memphis Grizzlies! From 6 points behind to overtake by 6 points, those little boys in Oklahoma must have never expected us to be so strong! Continue to maintain your performance on the defensive end in the next season. The Thunder's inside defense has always been a big problem, so as long as we contain their offense, we will win half of it!
O.J. Mayo dropped his head in disappointment when he heard Hollins say this. If the team needs to defend, then there is nothing wrong with him.
As expected, in the second half, Tony Allen replaced Mayo in the start. Link temporarily returned to the bench, Hollins' plan is to let Link follow Harden to play. Harden gets on and Link gets on. Harden rested, and Link took a breath.
However, even if he was sitting on the bench today, Link would be captured by the camera from time to time. In the first quarter, his performance of 6 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal was really eye-catching. And the buzzer layup at the last moment is even more memorable for everyone.
Coupled with the pre-match media hype and his official signing with the Grizzlies, Link has attracted much attention.
Link didn’t know that he had become one of the protagonists of this game. At this time, he had only one thought in his heart-kill Harden!
In the fifth minute of the second quarter, James Harden went into battle. At the same time, Link continued to play, he was like a ghost, entwining Harden all the time.
Harden replaced Westbrook, playing point guard. And Link replaced Tony Allen, Hollins intends to strengthen the offense while maintaining a solid defense.
At this time, Harden's eyes looked different at Link. He is no longer lazy, but murderous in his eyes.
Link is not afraid. In the last game, even Kobe could not deter Link, let alone Harden as a rookie?
On the first offense on the court, Conley gave the ball to Link in a face-off manner. Everyone can see that Link is in good shape today, so I don't mind letting him attack a few more times. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
Harden's eyes were wide, he lowered his weight, opened his arms, and tried to fight Link.
Link alternately dribbles with left and right hands, and then suddenly changes direction to break! In that moment, Link realized that there was no one in front of him.
"Huh?" Link looked back in surprise and found that Harden was preparing to chase back. In other words, I just passed Harden by myself! ?
what the hell? Are you embarrassed by a desperate posture, and the result is passed by one step?
Harden actually wanted to block it in the first step, but he played too late yesterday, and his body was too exhausted in the first quarter today to keep up. So, just watched Link pass by him.
Seeing Link break through again, Ibaka had to make a supplement. But Link struck the ground calmly and the basketball passed Ibaka's side and fell into Randolph's hands.
The Big Black Bear easily put the ball into the basket without defense, and the Grizzlies can continue to maintain an 8-point lead.
"Have you seen it? Link actually attracted the Thunder's two-man defense. As a loser, he was treated like a superstar. James Harden was once again being teased, and his defense simply couldn't give Link. Go away from any pressure."
Webber said, looking at Link's data sheet. Only five minutes into the second quarter, Link had already scored 6 points and 4 assists. If Harden continues to use this state to defend Link, that Chinese American won a double-double, and Webber will not be surprised.
But then again, is it possible for a loser to get a double-double in the first game of an official contract with the team? I have to say that the 2 million of the Grizzlies are really worth it.
Those media who say that the Link 200 takes high, probably have begun to regret what they have said.
