: Eighty-three: The battle of fame of the undrafted


   In the first quarter of the game, only Gasol shot 40% of the Grizzlies' starting five. The other four had very low offensive efficiency. The only one Gasol had a 40% shooting percentage was because he didn't make many shots.
   Normally, the Grizzlies’ offensive efficiency is so low, and now it’s grateful not to be behind the Bobcats by double digits.
   However, instead of trailing by double digits, the Grizzlies led the Bobcats by 2 points. All this is because of Link who made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter.
   Stephen Jackson sat on the bench, breathing heavily. In the first quarter of the game, Bobcats coach Paul Silas froze to let the 33-year-old veteran play for 12 minutes.
  Paul Silas is not the main madman, not all coaches have Thiboduna habit. But there is no way in the first quarter. If he let Stephen Jackson off, the Bobcats are now expected to be behind even more.
   Fortunately, only 12 minutes in a basketball game, the Bobcats can get a chance to breathe. If the NBA divides the first and second half like the NCAA, Paul Silas is really afraid of the game being played directly.
   "We are just 2 points behind, hold on!" Silas shouted. As an experienced coach, he knew that the team's first priority is to stabilize morale.
   If the players' emotions collapse, the game will collapse.
"We still have a chance. We can't disrupt our plan because of our temporary backwardness. In the second quarter, we will continue the confrontation and speed up the offensive rhythm appropriately. I believe you have seen how tired the Grizzlies are. Continue to consume them and let Their offensive efficiency continues to drop!" Silas has always believed in a principle, seizing the opponent's weakness and slamming it will definitely make the opponent bleeding.
   Now, the biggest weakness of the Grizzlies is physical fitness. Silas knew that the Chinese who lost the draft was full of energy and performed well. But to be honest, he doesn't believe that the Asian can kill the game by his own ability. As long as he defeated the Grizzlies' starting lineup, Link's performance won't help.
   Silas guessed that at the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies will definitely start with a regular start. At that time, he will speed up the attacking rhythm and strive to open the score. When Link came on the court, he sent Stephen Jackson, who had been resting, to deal with him.
   Although "Martial Saint" Jackson is old, he is still fierce. Although Jackson was temporarily defeated by Link in the first quarter, Silas believed that under Jackson's tight defense, Link's physical fitness would be exhausted sooner or later.
   Paul Silas made his calculations, and after a short break, he pushed his players onto the court. Stephen Jackson sat on the bench a little uneasy, because he played 12 minutes in the first quarter, he can't play right now. But the more he is unable to play, the more nervous he is.
   Sure enough, after seeing the Grizzlies start in the second quarter, what Stephen Jackson was afraid of really happened.
"The Grizzlies and the Bobcats both have personnel adjustments. The start of the second quarter is completely different from the beginning. For the Grizzlies, Link continues to play while OJ Mayo continues to sit on the bench. The Bobcats. On the other hand, Coach Silas used Matt Carroll to replace Stephen Jackson, who played 12 minutes."
  The commentators were the first to notice the change in the lineup, and Paul Silas and Stephen Jackson were as surprised as they were.
  They didn't expect that Hollins would let Link continue to play. However, Hollins didn't feel too embarrassed when he made this decision, after all, Mayo had already lost his trust.
   Link looked at the opposing player eagerly, enjoying the horrified expression in the opponent's eyes. It turns out that it is such an interesting thing to make the other person fear.
   "The Bobcats are the first to attack, but without Stephen Jackson, the Bobcats' offense lacks a key point. This is very tricky. Let's see what the Bobcats do?"
   The commentator in the Time Warner Center Arena was a little worried, and this is indeed the dilemma facing the Bobcats.
   Without "Martial Saint" Jackson, D.J. Augustine had to hand the ball to Link's opponent Gerald Henderson. Augustine has been "honest" a lot since he was risked by Gasol in the first quarter.
   Gerald Henderson has a variety of offensive methods. Link knows this guy, because he used this player in NBA2K games before crossing over. At the time, he felt very comfortable and could do anything.
   In reality, Henderson at his peak was also a hunk who averaged 15 points per game. But now Henderson is still just a second-year rookie. His first step was quick, but his intention was too obvious. Link, who has extensive experience, can easily stop him, and his defensive prediction makes Henderson doubt life.
   In desperation, Henderson had to hand the ball back to Augustine. Augustine then passed the ball to Matt Carroll, who was vacant. Carroll averaged only 4.4 points per game this season. If it wasn't for Gerald Wallace's injury, he might not get into the rotation. Opportunity.
   Carol originally got a fleeting three-pointer opportunity, but seeing Rudy Gay follow ferociously, the 1.98 height guard swingman still confessed.
   Augustine received the return pass again, speechlessly, as if everyone was saying to him: "Just you, don't pass."
   Augustine bit the bullet and broke through to the inside. Under the heavy interference of the Grizzlies, he finally missed a layup.
   Link curled his lips. As far as the Bobcats are, he still wants to win against the Grizzlies? When a team depends on the 33-year-old Stephen Jackson to score, it shows that the team has a big problem.
   Link took part in the attack unhurriedly, Hollins said, to slow down the rhythm as much as possible. The Bobcats want to consume the Grizzlies, they must want to play fast. Then, Hollins deliberately slowed down.
   Gay holds the ball in singles, Matt Carroll is too weak for him. However, due to his physical fitness, Gay's CIC is actually tough...
  Paul Silas let out a sigh of relief, but fortunately the score was not opened. But not long after he was complacent, he noticed that the yellow-skinned forward wearing the No. 0 jersey leaped slightly and returned the basketball that had been knocked out of the frame.
   Randolph and Gasol got stuck in position, and Link took advantage of it. Of course, if there is no keen sense of rebounding, Link will never get this kind of easy tipping opportunity.
   "A beautiful second offense. Link is just doing whatever he wants today. He has scored 10 points. In the overall downturn of the Grizzlies, he still gives the team an advantage."
   Along with the commentary, the on-site camera gave Henderson a close-up of his face. I saw Henderson look dumbfounded, he didn't know when Link got in!
  As a second player, Henderson's awareness of being stuck is really not that strong. The point is, he has never seen such a counterpoint that can grab offensive rebounds.
   Paul Silas swallowed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling-maybe his team would become the famous background board for that Chinese kid.
   His state is completely two extremes from the other Grizzlies!
  ※※※
   Stephen Jackson knew before the game that the Chinese kid is by no means a general. A person's origin cannot define his upper limit. It's like, people have never thought that he, who was wandering abroad, would become an NBA star who can average 20 points per game?
   But what Jackson also didn't expect was that this Chinese American was already so powerful, beyond his expectations.
   Just now, Link played Jackson with a beautiful step-back jumper and successfully scored. And after that goal, Link has scored the 26th point of the game-this is the Grizzlies' highest individual score today.
   Stephen Jackson played in the fifth minute of the second quarter, but he played again at that time and it was no longer helpful. At that time, Link was already out of form. As a result, he was suppressed by Link until just the ball, until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.
   Jackson's too slow lateral speed made him more than fierce, but the defensive effect was not good. And Link's shooting percentage was steady until the fourth quarter, and he never seemed to feel tired.
   Jackson’s defense actually collapsed from the second quarter~EbookFREE.me~ He can only watch Link's score keep rising.
   With 3 minutes left in the game, the Grizzlies lead by 14 points. Although the others were not very efficient, Link really taught the Bobcats a lesson.
   At this time, Jackson took the ball again to confront Link, and found that he no longer had the confidence that he had at the beginning.
   Jackson was deeply moved. On the one hand, Jackson felt a little regretful. This guy's talent is obviously not weaker than the lottery show, how did he fail?
   On the other hand, Jackson was somewhat relieved. He is very happy to see another low-level player who has changed his destiny through hard work.
   Jackson, who was not focused enough, was finally intercepted by Link. This time, Steven Jackson, who is known for his profession, did not continue to chase, but sighed.
   He completely lost, the Bobcats completely lost. In the poor overall state of the Grizzlies, Link saved the Memphis Grizzlies with his personal performance.
   Link succeeded in a fast break layup, and his personal score came to 28 points-a career high!
   After this ball, Paul Silas’ assistant called the game to stop. As for Silas himself, he couldn't bear to look directly at this game.
  He thought that a losing draft could not threaten the Bobcats' victory.
   But now, Silas felt ashamed of himself when the impossible became possible. With 16 points difference, Silas knew very well that the Bobcats were already powerless.
   He did not lose to the Grizzlies, but to the Chinese.
   Link went off the field, high-five with his teammates, and was hugged by Hollins. This time Link did not struggle, and the feeling of saving the team with his own strength made Link feel extremely refreshed.
   As for his tactical position in the Grizzlies, Link believes that at least he is now much higher than Mayo.
