Chapter 341 (1/2)
Link has always believed that no player can't defend. Every player has his own habits and characteristics. If he scores 40 points today, he is likely to get another 40 points in the same way two days later.
What's more, Leonard is not the kind of player who always gets 40 points. For link, it's not hard to figure out his shooting pattern.
Of course, there is a cost of time. For example, you don't go to bed until three in the morning.
But it doesn't matter. The next day the Grizzlies didn't play, and link could sleep until nine o'clock. First thing after getting up, link asked the waiter to bring him a breakfast and then continued to watch Leonard's game video.
After a nap at noon, the Grizzlies' training didn't begin until the afternoon.
When Hollins went to the training hall, he looked at link deliberately and found that the boy's face did not have the big black circles he had imagined. On the contrary, it seems that he is still very energetic, as if he can fight the Spurs again at any time.
”What time did you see yesterday?” Hollins came up to link, who was shooting.
”Three o'clock, and you?”
”Me too. Aren't you sleepy?” Hollins felt he was in a trance the next day after staying up late to watch the video. And what about link? He is not only full of energy, but also can play such a good state in training.
”Sleepy? I'm so excited, Leon. I wish the game would start early tomorrow night Link smiles, and it's not complicated to figure out Leonard's offensive habits.
After all, Leonard's arsenal of this period was not so rich. To put it bluntly, it's just a 3D player with less than double-digit points per game.
Link believes that as long as he defends as planned in the next game, instead of being led by the nose as he did yesterday, there is no big problem in trying to defend Leonard.
Being humiliated so badly yesterday, link also wants to let the ”terminator” have a taste! Kobe said, don't make link want to win.
But Leonard, obviously, didn't hear that.
”Well... In a word, don't stay up late tonight and have a good rest. Tomorrow, I need everyone at their best
”Don't worry, Leon, I'm always at my best!”
Hollins was relieved to see link so excited. Yesterday saw link after the end of the game without saying a word to leave the dressing room, the first to sit on the team bus, Hollins thought link was hit.
After all, no one wants to be defended by a freshman. What's more, Leonard is not a lotto show. Losing to him is bound to demoralize.
But unexpectedly, link did not sink in the failure, on the contrary, he was high spirited.
Now even Hollins is looking forward to it. I really want to see how San Antonio people will lose their chin tomorrow...
during the afternoon training break, as always, reporters rushed into the training hall during the media opening hours.
And link, who was the first to rush out to sleep yesterday, became a popular topic.
”Do you think yesterday's defeat doesn't matter? Or do you think the team has reached its goal and doesn't care about winning or losing? ”
”Link, what do you think of yesterday's defeat? Don't care at all? Or do you want to give up resistance? ”
Faced with his present situation, link is not surprised. That's how the media are. They prefer to make unrealistic assumptions about things they don't know, rather than know the truth.
Link is also too lazy to fight with the media, he only said a word and answered all the questions, ”we will take home advantage back to Memphis, you think I will continue to lose, then wait and see.”
Reporters looked at each other one by one, how to feel that link has become like Leonard, like words like gold.
On May 17, the second round of NBA playoffs continued.
Today, link came to the court early to warm up. But to his surprise, Leonard arrived earlier than he did.
Link and Leonard looked at each other and no one spoke. The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.
Link didn't know what to say to the opponent who had just beaten him, and Leonard didn't like talking to strangers.
The two then looked at each other for a few seconds and then began to practice. Although both sides are very silent, it is more like accumulating pressure.
