Chapter 1239 (1/2)

Link admitted that it was his own way to fight against harden.

It can't help but make the fans feel that there is something fishy in it.

With link's character, he should not have said such a thing.

Some people think that link just said this on purpose to make harden relax his vigilance.

When it comes to the court, link's desire to score is definitely stronger than anyone else.

Others believe that link is telling the truth.

Maybe link knows that his scoring ability is not as good as that of harden. Instead of losing the game, he should admit his strength before the game, so that even if he loses, he won't be too shameful.

Link looked at the outside media and fans' speculation about his psychological activities and shook his head in disappointment.

So many people have discussed it, but none of them is right.

The reason why link said that fighting against harden was self defeating, not because link was afraid, nor because link would not be able to fight harden.

But because link, solid defense, is the best strategy against the Rockets!

With Hardon? Why do you do that? Is there only attack and no defense in basketball game?

Harden was able to score 59 points because he was good. But there is no denying that there was no defense in that game.

158 to 159, which is enough to show how bad the defense of both sides in that game.

As long as the wizard a little bit more defensive intensity, Hadden can not play that way.

The Grizzlies have always been a team that pays attention to defense. Scoring is indeed the way to win, but it is not the only way.

Against the Lakers, although link scored 61 points, the Grizzlies defense is also very good.

It's not grizzly's style to attack all the time.

Link may not be able to score an exaggerated high score in the next game, but neither will harden.

As long as Hardon's score is limited, the Grizzlies win half.

The day before the game, Joel gathered all the people for a tactical meeting.

In the arrangement of the alignment, Joel also specially used link to go to Hadden tomorrow.

Link is looking forward to this arrangement.

In link's view, there is no one who can't be prevented.

Even the best point guard that dominates this era is the same.

The day before the game, the Rockets arrived in Memphis.

In the past few seasons, the combination of harden and Paul did not meet people's expectations, and the best result of the rockets was just the Western semi-finals, which failed to pass the warriors' level, which was disappointing.

Over time, Paul and Hadden also suspected some friction, which made the Rockets have to consider cleaning Paul out.

However, the Rockets have just extended Paul with a top salary contract. In addition, Paul is too old, which makes him almost worthless and difficult to deal with.

This summer, just as the Rockets were thinking about how to send Paul out, Oklahoma's thunder also made a mistake.

Thunder originally wanted to continue to attack the championship with the combination of Paul George and Westbrook, but George suddenly asked the team to trade himself to the clippers, breaking the thunder's future plan.

After losing Paul George, thunder is doomed to win. So thunder bit his teeth and stomped his feet, and he simply chose to put the rotten reconstruction.

In this way, the Houston Rockets traded Paul for Westbrook. The combination of Westbrook and harden is also very exciting this season.

So, even if we put aside Hardon and link points, the game between the rockets and the Grizzlies is absolutely the focus of the war.

Like the Grizzlies vs. the Lakers, it could be a preview of the Western Conference finals.

It's just that after joining the talk of Hadden and link, the game has become more and more popular.

On the first day of the Rockets training at the FedEx stadium, a reporter asked Westbrook, ”now that people are talking about harden and link, do you feel like you've been ignored?”

Westbrook has always been a strong man, but this time, he gave a leisurely smile: ”nothing, I just want to help win the game, that's it. It doesn't matter who is in the spotlight. ”

Link believes that what Westbrook said is true to his heart, and when his three consecutive seasons of three doubles per game is still not respected, Westbrook must also understand the importance of victory.

For three consecutive seasons, the average is three doubles, which is a terrible achievement and data. This is an unprecedented achievement, and it is very likely that no one will come after.

However, people still don't associate Westbrook with the word great.

The reason is simple - he has no data, but he can't win.

Because of this, Westbrook this season also adjusted own mentality.
