Reverse Growth Superstar

The Grizzlies' 4-0 after the opening game gave them a complete show of momentum and laid the tone of the game.

A few minutes after the first quarter, the Grizzlies maintained their grinder-like defense and determined offense.

Even a defender who is as horizontal as Westbrook didn't get any fruit in the Grizzlies penalty area. Although Link didn't score consecutively, he did it everywhere.

Rebounds, assists, steals, assists...As long as the Grizzlies need it, Link is there!

After 8 minutes of the game, the Thunder fell 4 points behind the Grizzlies' desperate attitude. Although the score difference is not big, but considering that the scene has been suppressed, the Thunder are still very passive.

Scott Brooks looked up at the time on the big screen at the scene, and then walked to James Harden, it was time to be the sixth man!

On the court, Conley assisted Gasol Jr. to score at the basket, and the point difference was widened to 6 points. At this moment, the Thunder paused.

Hollins stood up immediately. The purpose of the Thunder's timeout is very clear. They are going to Harden!

"Link, how do you feel?" So, as soon as Link got off the scene, Hollins asked with great concern.

Link was sweaty, and the neckline of his jersey was obviously wet. Sweat dripped directly down his chin one by one, but in the face of questioning, Link waved his hand.

"Very good, let's play as planned."

"Well... the first quarter must be sustained, otherwise you will have a hard time playing. I will find time for you to rest in the second quarter, but the first quarter must have an advantage! Remember, Watch James Harden, you can’t let him make arbitrary shots from beyond the three-point line. In the first two games, Harden’s three-pointers shot up to 60%. Today, his shooting rate is at least halved!"

Hollins began to draw tactics, and Link listened carefully while wiping his sweat.

The most improved player VS the best sixth man? It seems quite interesting.

At the end of the timeout, Scott Brooks took James Harden onto the court very confidently and replaced Westbrook. In this way, even though the Thunder is in rotation, Durant and Harden are also present.

On the Grizzlies side, they didn't use Pondset as usual. Brooks found that Link and Tony Allen were still there!

Pondset replaced Conley, and Speight replaced Randolph. In this way, the Grizzlies' point guard at this time is Link!

Scott Brooks immediately understood Hollins' strategy, he wanted to use Link to contain Harden!

"Hmph, this is a self-digging grave!" Brooks snorted softly. Harden is now full of energy, and Link has just been entangled with Durant for so long, and he must be very tired.

He believes that Harden has a way to get the number 0, who knows how to work hard.

The game restarted and James Harden had the ball. His ball control is not as aggressive as Westbrook, but this fits Link's appetite. If every guard is as fast as Westbrook, Link will really be exhausted.

Harden had just passed halftime when he was blocked by Link! Link widened the line of defense so much that he planned to oppress Harden from the beginning!

Sure enough, Harden passed the ball soon after being pressed by Link. The pass goal is naturally Durant, but Durant is not easy at this time, because Tony Allen's defense is more than that of Link.

Durant made a few tentative steps with the ball, but Tony Allen's center of gravity can always come back quickly. Durant decided to dribble and break, but as soon as he dribbled, Tony Allen started!

Although he didn't complete the steals, Durant still made it hard to move!

"Damn!" Durant couldn't help cursing in his heart, what kind of team would have two such entangled defensive players at the same time!

In desperation, Durant had to hit the ball to Ibaka. After Ibaka had the ball, Speights, who had just played and had plenty of energy, quickly pushed him out. The Congolese forward felt that he was unsure of his singles, so he passed the ball to Harden.

The ball went round and returned to Harden's hands. Now, he has to face Link's defense alone!

Scott Brooks is a coach who is good at cultivating newcomers, but he is by no means a master of tactics. Therefore, the Thunder's cooperation is usually very simple. If the tactics cannot be played for a while, they will be trapped in a situation where the three young men play singles.

This time, the responsibility for singles fell on Harden. Harden held the ball and did two crotch dribbles. Seeing that Link hadn't posted it, he drew three points!

Link didn't post it because he was afraid of Harden's breakthrough, not because he let him shoot. Therefore, after seeing Harden's feet were indeed off the ground, Link immediately blocked it tightly!

From Link's defensive reaction, he does not seem to be a player who has been fighting for almost ten minutes.

"Link's defense is very good, Harden is equivalent to shooting three points against the defense!"

Harden can't see anything. In the first two games against Ponte Sette, the defense was not so tight!

Sure enough, the basketball finally knocked out! Harden’s 60% three-pointer percentage seems useless in front of Link.

Hollins threw his fist excitedly, and the plan to contain the Thunder's sixth man worked!

Speights took the rebound and handed the ball directly to Link. Now the Grizzlies' three outside lines are Link, Poundset and Tony Allen, so Link plays the first position.

Durant wanted to lead the defense, but found that Pondset had rushed towards him. If it doesn't matter, Pondset will get an open right away.

Durant gritted his teeth and could only keep up. The task of defending Link fell on James Harden.

Seeing that Harden was defending himself, Link was immediately delighted! Today, let me see how terrible defensive eyes are! please!

Link did not play singles, nor organized an offense. Instead, he beckoned Gasol to come up and pass the ball directly to Gasol...

Gasol held the ball from beyond the three-point line, while Speights pulled to mid-range. It seems that the Grizzlies' tactics seem to be to hollow out the inside of the Thunder to make it easier to hit the basket.

After passing the ball to Gasol, Link ran to the right side close to the corner. Harden crossed in front of Link, but did not press on, but cut off Link's receiving route.

Harden looked at Gasol, while scanning Link with the edge. As long as Link is not allowed to catch the ball, this time the defense is a success!

Seeing this situation, Tony Allen waited for an opportunity to cut in, and Pondset was also ready to move. Harden told himself, "You must stay steady and don't be disturbed by other people's running! Watch out for Gasol, once he passes the ball here, he must react quickly! The steal must be handsome!"

Thinking of this, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Harden couldn't help but glanced at Link. Then he was surprised to find that Link was gone!

"Huh? People! They were still behind!"

When he turned to find Link, Link had already ran to the basket and was about to get out of the other three-point line!

"James Harden got stuck in place for some reason. Is he disconnected? Link has left him a long way away before he realizes that his own person is gone." Hubby Brown almost couldn't help it. Laughter, Harden's defense this time is here to adjust the atmosphere of the tense game.

Link went outside the right three-point line and commanded Gasol, the tower, to deliver the ball to Link just right. And because Pondset and Tony Allen have attracted Durant and Sefrosa through their running, so now Link is completely unmarked!

From the beginning, Link set the game.

After receiving the basketball, Link did not shoot directly, but looked up at Harden, and then took the shot unhurriedly!

By the time Harden came up, the basketball was already in midair. Link raised his right hand in advance, compared three fingers, and then made a bow and arrow motion.

"Wow!"

Harden seemed to feel an arrow hit his heart, and Link hit three!

The corners of Scott Brooks' mouth twitched. Harden's defense just now... is really hard to describe.

Obviously, I wanted to send the best sixth man up to narrow the points difference. This is a good one, but the best sixth man was caught and beaten by the most improved player.

The points difference has become 9 points. If the Thunder do not show up anymore, it is not impossible to fall behind by double digits in the first quarter.

After Link retreated to the midfield line, he hooked Harden and Durant.

I'm here to guard, don't want to capture the basketball holy land of Memphis!
