Chapter 101 (1/2)

Memphis was in the spotlight on January 21, the second consecutive focus game for the Grizzlies after the New Orleans Hornets.

In addition to the personal enmity between link and the Rockets, the game also related to the competition for ranking between the two sides.

In the Jazz team's decline in the situation, the Rockets, Hornets and Grizzlies three teams for playoff seats will be more crazy.

Originally, the probability of 3-in-1 has now become 3-in-2, so naturally, everyone wants to strive for it.

In the last game, the Grizzlies just beat the Hornets and raised their ranking from the head-on. So the pressure on the Rockets is enormous.

Grizzlies and Hornets are gradually opening the gap with the Rockets, Adelman can not allow his team and the second consecutive year without the playoffs.

So today, the Rockets came to the Federal Express Center Stadium in the afternoon to prepare for the game. Thus, the Houston Rockets attach importance to this game.

However, when the Rockets players entered the stadium, they found that the Grizzlies had already begun to warm up. Adelman can't help shaking his head, it seems that the other side and he is eager to win.

Link always felt strange when he watched the Rockets enter the stadium. In Houston, he got along well with Adelman and a few of the Rockets. What he really hates is using his Morey, not the Rockets.

Although he has only played in the NBA for less than half a season, link has already experienced the complex mood of fighting with his old club, and his experience is really wonderful.

”Link, long time no see!”

As link stares at the Rockets players, Jordan hill, the center with a dirty braid, comes to link with enthusiasm.

During his time in the Rockets, link's most talked about goal was his aerial relay with Jordan hill. Hill had a good time with link because of that goal. Although link has been with the Rockets for only ten days, he and hill are friends.

”Long time no see. How are you?” Link hugged Jordan hill, and he immediately felt that the NBA world was not just a cruel fight.

”What's good? I'm behind you. It's a pity. I thought we'd keep working together... ”Hill sighed. Even he didn't expect the Rockets to give up link.

”No way, it's something we can't control. How are you getting ready for the game? It's not that easy to take victory in Memphis

”Yes, yes, even Chris Paul is in your hands, and we will not take it lightly.” Hill said, turning to look at Kevin Martin, who was warming up in the other half. ”But you have to be careful, because we're well prepared.”

Link crossed Jordan Hill's shoulder and looked at Martin. He said that he was going to meet the guy today....

On the Federal Express Center platform, two T. NT commentators chatted for a while before the game began.

As a former coach of the Rockets, Jeff Van Gundy was arranged by T. nt to explain the game. According to the original plan, his partner should be a Memphis local commentator. But today, it was Charles Barkley who appeared beside him. So he asked curiously.

”Hahaha, I did apply to explain the game. To be exact, I want to watch the game in person Barkley made no secret of his purpose. Although this guy is a ”villain” image in front of his work, he is still very sincere towards his colleagues.

”Why? What's up in Memphis? ”

”What can I do for you? If you watched the last Grizzlies game against the Hornets, I believe you will be attracted by the Grizzlies. I believe that today's game is no less wonderful than the last one Barkley said, casting his eyes on the court and at number 0, who was talking to Jordan hill.

”Ha ha,” van Gundy laughed. ”I see what you mean, Charles. So you've become a link fan? ”

”The fans can't talk about it, but... I'm always looking forward to that kid and wondering what he can do. Although he is so friendly now, when he gets to the court, the boy is completely different

On the court, link ended his conversation with hill and then continued his warm-up. Today, under the leadership of Marcus will, link specially practiced the offensive action of breaking the layup with the ball. There's no doubt that Hollins must have asked link today to make more use of his physical strength to fight Kevin Martin.

Martin's performance in the last two games has been very good, January 17, Houston rockets against the Bucks, Martin thundered 36 points. On January 19, the rockets against New York, Martin also scored a good 25 points.

Therefore, link did not dare to slack off. He's on the other side's top scorer today, and he doesn't want to be beaten down by Martin.The warm-up continued for a while, and the referee indicated that both sides were ready to start the game. The players of the two teams have just left the field and listened to the final arrangement made by the head coach.

”On the defensive side, be careful of that kid's fake moves. You are experienced and I believe you will not make mistakes. As for the offensive side... Seduce him more, you know what to do Before the game began, Adelman went to Martin's ear to explain a few words.

He knows that Hollins will definitely continue to play second in the starting lineup with link today. After all, link did a good job in the starting position of Mayo's three games suspended.

Three starts, link field average 18 points, hit rate as high as 57.6%. Compared with mayo, I don't know how many times easier to use.
