Reverse Growth Superstar

On November 4, the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Houston Rockets once again became a national live broadcast of ESPN.

There were two consecutive nationally broadcast games within a week, which is enough to prove the appeal of the Grizzlies this season.

Although this is Link's retirement season, the fans who came to the scene are not watching Link's retirement tour.

What is a retirement tour? It’s just that the fans don’t expect you to play well, as long as you can play, they are satisfied.

But Link is different. Although this is the last year of his career, the fans are watching him beat the league's first shooting guard.

"Link and Harden, they are definitely the two most dangerous scorers in the league this season. A single game with 61 points and a single game with 59 points. Such explosive scoring power is absolutely amazing. Hubby, what do you think is today? , How much will the individual scores of both parties reach?"

Before the game started, Kevin Harlan asked Hubie Brown a question that all fans care about.

30 points? 40 marks? Even 50 points? What will Link and Harden be like today?

However, Hubby Brown's answer was beyond most people's expectations.

"I think their score may not be too high."

"What? Not too high?" Kevin Harlan was a little surprised.

"Yes, Link said he didn't want to score points with Harden, meaning he wanted to use defense to determine victory or defeat. Believe me, the Grizzlies won't let a player score high points easily. They are not the same as the Wizards. You should never expect to see an All-Star game in the Federal Express Arena."

Hubby Brown knows Link and the Grizzlies too much. Davis scored 40 points in the last game. There is really no way to prevent it.

But today, the Grizzlies are not stretched on the defensive end. Old Hubby believes that the Grizzlies will put defense first.

The Rockets' biggest advantage is offense, and most of the teams coached by D'Antoni are like this. The current Rockets are just like the Phoenix Suns back then, and their offense is extremely gorgeous.

Let the Rockets recklessly use their advantages? Unless the Grizzlies are stupid, they will do that.

However, few people listened to Hubie Brown's analysis and did a good job defensively? Then you have to prevent it.

Harden and Westbrook are averaging close to 40 per game and close to 30 per game. How to defend?

The only way for the Grizzlies is to attack against each other!

Before the start of the game, the referee called on both sides to prepare for the start.

At this time, Link looked nervously at the Rockets' starting lineup.

Westbrook, Harden, Danuel House, Tucker and Capela, the Rockets have not changed, and still use the previous starting lineup.

Seeing this, Link's nervous expression disappeared, replaced by a smile.

It seems that D'Antoni is still immersed in the rocket's fierce offensive firepower, and did not really think about the problems of this rocket.

If offense can really solve the problem, the Rockets' record will not only be 3 wins and 3 losses.

But having said that, the opponents the Rockets encountered in the previous six games did not seem to put too much pressure on the Rockets on the defensive end.

It's no wonder that D'Antoni is so satisfied with his starter.

So today, Link will let D'Antoni take a good look.

How fragile his starting set is actually!

Before the game started, Link glanced at Jokic.

Jokic nodded slightly. He hasn't forgotten what Link told him yesterday.

"Are you ready Nicolas?"

"Well, I'm still a little excited."

"Go ahead, put Harden and Westbrook in prison!"

After Link finished speaking, he retreated behind Jokic. The referee quickly tossed the basketball, Jokic's can of Coke bottle bounced high, and naturally he couldn't beat Capella the "cake king" in the faceoff.

The Rockets took the lead in getting the first strike, which is their favorite way to start.

The Rockets' philosophy this season is to attack, attack, and attack again!

Harden held the ball and ran through halftime, and sure enough, Link opened his arms and guarded in front of him.

But Harden was not surprised by this, he didn't expect to be able to pinch a soft persimmon like Brooks.

Seeing that Link was defending himself, Harden didn't intend to be polite. As soon as he came up, he called Tucker to set up a screen for himself and prepare to break through.

P.J. Tucker is still wearing a pair of Link IV limited edition sneakers. It can be seen that he is also a fan of Link sneakers.

But this does not mean that Tucker will show mercy to Link's men, his cover is very tough. Although this man is less than 2 meters tall, the quality of the cover is unambiguous!

In the past, Hayes, who was less than 2 meters tall, played center and was considered a strange thing.

But in recent years, short insiders like Tucker have become more and more popular.

After hanging up the screen, Harden chose to break through.

But just a few steps after he ran out, the breakthrough route was blocked by Jokic, who raised his arms.

Harden originally wanted to pass the ball to Capela, but Jokic also blocked the pass.

In this way, Harden had to stop at the middle distance to find another opportunity.

However, as soon as he stopped, Link had already doubled up.

"Double double-teamed. Harden was double-teamed in the first round of the game! Jokic's position is very accurate. This is a premeditated defense! It seems that your analysis is not wrong, Hubby. The Grizzlies did. I want to work **** defense!"

Kevin Harlan looked at Harden who was being double-teamed and couldn't help but feel the Grizzlies' tactical execution ability.

Jokic's position and timing are just right. Although he can't block shots like other centers, he also has his advantage on the defensive end.

However, Jokic's execution did not come out of thin air. Had it not been called by Link to "make up lessons" at home yesterday, Jokic would not have reacted so quickly.

After all, the opportunity to participate in the Internet celebrity party was sacrificed, and the sacrifice should not be in vain.

Harden is caught in a double-team, and if Capela can open the space at this time, the Rockets will easily get an open three-pointer.

But no way, Capela, as a "pie-eating" center, doesn't know how to score when he gets out of the penalty zone.

Before Harden had any idea about whom to pass the ball to, Link took the opportunity to start everything and cut off the basketball in Harden's hand.

Link does not cut the ball, but once he decides to start, it shows that he is extremely confident.

Sure enough, Link cut Harden's ball accurately in the double-team.

In the first round, the Grizzlies completed a nearly perfect defense.

Jokic's proper blocking and Link's pursuit made Harden a hard fight!

After cutting the basketball, Link handed the ball to Dillon Brooks, Brooks held the ball and made a fast break, followed by Westbrook.

But when he reached the basket, Dillon Brooks suddenly passed the ball back to Link who followed.

Brooks knows that Westbrook's ability to chase is quite strong.

A layup under the chase of that guy is generally not a good result.

As an older rookie, Brooks' calmness and immediate combat power are his greatest strengths.

After receiving the basketball, Link directly violent. This time, even Westbrook is helpless with Link.

"boom!"

The opening is dunks, which seems to have become a habit of Link. It seems that if you don't show your "muscles" at the beginning, you are embarrassed to greet people.

"Don't panic~www.wuxiaspot.com~Continue to attack!"

On the sidelines, Mike D'Antoni didn't seem to notice anything after Link dunked.

Perhaps in his opinion, Harden's mistake was just a coincidence. After all, Harden is averaging about five people who make mistakes, and he may be used to it.

Hearing Mustache's roar, Link shook his head.

It seems that he is indeed an offensive coach.

That being the case, then teach them what defense is today!

Link led the team quickly back to the defense, this time, the offensive with the ball became Westbrook.

Sure enough, Harden attacked the "Turtle" attack.

But it doesn't matter who attacks, the Grizzlies also prepared a special strategy for Westbrook.

This time, the score will never become an All-Star mode again.
