Chapter 78 (1/2)

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, the thunder team has been 6 points ahead of the Grizzlies. Lionel Hollins suspended the game and finally made a staff adjustment.

Link and Tony Allen, two of the stars on the bench, took over Mayo and Gasol respectively. Just now, the thunder team has sent the lineup composed of Westbrook, harden, sevarosa, Durant and Ibaka. Because Durant is not pure inside line, so grizzly side also changed only Randolph this inside lineup.

Conley, Tony teacher, link, guy and Randolph, Hollins sent this set of lineup is very unconventional, the Grizzlies generally do not leave only one inside line on the field.

But today, if you want to beat the energetic thunder, you need to use some unconventional methods.

”Be sure to hold your ground on the defensive end. Tony goes to Westbrook, link defends harden, Conley goes to see sevrosa, guy continues to fight Durant, Zac goes to discipline Ibaka. Everyone, watch out for your opponents and sabotage their attack. We can't let the thunder team continue to open the difference, let them experience our defense, everyone is tough

Hollins spits. He doesn't want the Grizzlies to go through the longest five wins in a row this season to be ended by the thunder. Indeed, thunder is the stronger side on paper. But seeing that the Grizzlies are about to catch up with the Rockets, they are about to enter the top eight in the West. Hollins doesn't want to give up at the top eight gates in the West.

The pause was very short, and as soon as the electronic beep sounded, link looked at Hadden. No one can stop the thunder? Maybe that's true.

But the bear can!

At the moment of link's appearance, the cheers inside the FedEx Center Stadium immediately rose. Looking up, countless fans are holding their own related plates or their heads waving. This is his first appearance as a member of the Grizzlies, and fans are naturally looking forward to the magic drop show.

As an older Development League Rookie, link can have 15 points per field, which is enough to make him famous in Memphis. It can be seen that the grizzly fans welcome link's participation, and they are eager for link's appearance to help the team change its disadvantages.

On the other hand, James Harden was not interested in the No. 0 draft. It seems that Memphis is really out of stars, a drop off draft can be so popular here.

And Hardon played number two, and he thought he didn't have to face link.

Little did not know, the Grizzlies first attack, link found Hadden. The bearded guard didn't know that he had become the focus of Grizzlies.

Just as Conley passed the midfield line with the ball, Tony Allen and link made a cross run to force Hadden and sevrosa to change their defense.

In this simple way, harden's defensive target instantly changed from Tony Allen, who couldn't attack, to link.

And as soon as the transposition was formed, Conley passed the ball to link. So there's no doubt that the Grizzlies planned it all in advance.

Before the game, Hadden's pressure on the defensive side has not been very big, because O.J. Mayo did not know why he was in worse condition than Hadden who played until 3 a.m. yesterday.

But link was different. He made a three threat move with the ball and then made a sudden acceleration. Harden's reaction on the defensive side was half a beat slow and was delayed by Randolph's pick and roll. In this way, with ease, link broke through the sixth person of the thunder who gave out cruel words yesterday.

Harden was not focused enough on the defensive end, his defensive attitude is very negative. Early harden, in the defensive side has been criticized.

In fact, this guy's ability is no problem, just don't want to prevent. Sometimes when he is broken or the other side is out of the position, he simply doesn't chase him, and then he watches the other side shoot. So this guy's ”eye defense” disappeared, but he is known as one of the league's greatest defensive skills.

Although in the era before link crossed over, harden's defensive attitude was much more correct, and no one ever referred to him as ”eye defense.”. However, harden in his early career is really inexhaustible...

this time, he was not willing to guard against it. He went to the nightclub yesterday and drank a lot of wine at 3:00, and his physical condition is very bad today. Despite the fact that the first quarter is not over, harden is actually very tired.

So, after link broke through, harden simply stopped chasing, but stood still and looked at the back of No. 0 silently. In this way, link easily to the basket, layup score.

Just now Randolph's pick and roll also took ibakara out. So, link did not encounter any obstruction under the basket.

”Beautiful attack, link scored as soon as he came out. James Harden is very negative on the defensive side, and link's appearance makes him pay the price for his negativity. Hadden said yesterday that no one can stop the thunder, so let's see if link can refute his point of view with practical actions

Webber cheered on the platform, and link scored as soon as he came on the stage, which was very uplifting. It means that the coach and the team are on the right path.Link did not have any celebration after the goal, but turned to see Mayo on the bench. Haden's condition is so bad, how did Mayo just fight? So much for Hardon, and he only got four.

Link didn't speculate on Mayo's state. Anyway, that guy gave people the feeling that he was in a muddle all day.

James Hardon thought that link's misplaced attack was just a coincidence, but when he saw link in front of him on the offensive end, the guy knew that he was being watched!

”Did you drink a lot yesterday?” Across to harden, link joked.

Harden did not respond, but ignored link. He did not expect that this Chinese American was so disgusted. Normally, both Chinese American players and Chinese players are well behaved, but link broke the impression.

Harden wants to get the chance by running without the ball, but link's defensive strength can be completely different from O.J. Mayo. Wherever Hadden goes, link will follow.

I'm used to the opposite with mayo. Suddenly, I'm willing to work hard. Harden is not used to it for a while.

On the other side, Westbrook is also in trouble with Tony Allen's defense. Although Conley's defensive skills are good, but the ability to fight is not as good as Westbrook. Several times, Conley did not lose his position, but was beaten by Westbrook.

And Tony Allen doesn't have this problem. He's very keen on confrontation. Even Westbrook can't take advantage of Tony Allen.

Westbrook broke into the penalty area with the ball, but couldn't get rid of Tony Allen. If the rash layup, either be taken or hit the iron, helpless, Westbrook jumped up to try to point the ball to the outside line. And outside the most reliable scoring point, is harden!
