Chapter 63 (1/2)

Super long-range three-point, clever fake under the basket, positive rebounding and exciting pass.

Link changed the fate of the Grizzlies with a series of brilliant performances. Without Rudy Gay, the Grizzlies got a 7-0 start to the Jazz because of link.

With the Jazz suspended, Russian Andre Kirilenko is undoubtedly the most embarrassing player at the moment. Before the game, he made sure that the team didn't have to worry about the third place. But now, the Grizzlies No. 3 has become the most annoying point.

Jerry Sloan took a look at Kirilenko and couldn't get a fire. Kirilenko has worked hard, but this is the first day of 2011, which is not his heyday.

At least compared with Deron Williams, Kirilenko's attitude is correct. It's just that he misjudged himself and his opponents.

Sloan patted Kirilenko on the shoulder and said nothing. Then he turned to the white boy on the bench. It's time for young people to solve their problems.

”Gordon, get ready.” Sloan waved.

”Utah's start is not the result Sloan wants. They should take advantage of Rudy Gay's absence. But it's a pity that link has filled the gap left by guy perfectly, even better than guy in some ways

”Yes, but the Jazz are not weak in position three. Don't forget, they also have this year's ninth rookie, Gordon Hayward. I believe a younger number three is the best choice for the jazz to contain link

During the pause, both commentators predicted Hayward's appearance. In recent games, Hayward's playing time has been increasing. Although Kirilenko is a starter, Hayward's playing time is longer than Kirilenko.

As one of the hottest NCAA players last year, Hayward has always been high expectations. Although he has not yet shown the talent to explode, but the steady projection and excellent defense, or let Hayward won some praise.

Sure enough, after the pause, Kirilenko sat on the bench. Gordon Hayward, who looks like a homeboy, nearly won the NCAA championship with Butler University Bulldogs last season!

You know, Butler University is not a famous basketball school. This shows how much Hayward's abilities have exploded in universities.

”Another Lotto show, starting with Paul George, is the second fellow Lotto player link has met. Maybe it's the first time in history that the NBA has a crisis in the draft. ”

Steve Cole is serious, link. Can we keep going?

For the first attack after a pause, link felt a very different pressure. Although Hayward's attack power was not very strong in this period, the attack means were much richer than Kirilenko.

Kirilenko has always been inaccurate in three points, and never in his career has he averaged more than one three-point hit per game in any season. Hayward, on the other hand, is one of his main scoring methods. In addition to three points, his breakthrough attack is also very strong.

Don't look at Hayward as weak as a white man. However, his ability to fight is not weak at all.

This time, Deron Williams's singles finally let the Jazz break the scoring shortage. Although Hayward didn't make a move, link found himself locked out of the three-point line, making it hard to help others.

Then a Grizzlies attack, Hayward's role really highlighted. Just after half-time, link was heavily defended by Hayward. Hayward has a fire in his heart. He doesn't think of link as a draft but regards him as one of the best Rookies of the year.

A lotto show doesn't want to lose to anyone in the rookie game. Hayward is no exception, and his way to beat link is to start with defense.

Hayward's defense is not only physical, but also very smart. In which direction link wants to run, he will make a judgment in advance.

Looking at his good ”homeboy face”, link really didn't expect this guy to be so difficult. He knew Hayward would become an all-star in the future, but he didn't expect Hayward had shown a lot of talent in rookie season.

But link was not flustered. Instead, he was a little complacent. Because, from the beginning, he was ignored, has become the Jazz attention.

And let the Jazz defense pay attention to themselves, in fact, link has completed his task.

Mike Conley glanced at Hayward, who was caught by link, and then hoisted the ball into the penalty area. On the left side of the penalty area, Zac Randolph is already in a good position.

To play inside, that's what Hollins is really doing today. The reason why link can attack at the beginning is to attract the defensive attention of the other side.
