Reverse Growth Superstar

Cousins ​​is full of energy today, although his brain is always lacking, but this guy is still very passionate about the game.

At 2.11 meters, he is slightly shorter than Gasol, but with a stronger jumping ability, Cousins ​​is the first to compete for basketball for the Kings.

The Kings are in possession of the ball by Tyreke Evans. After letting the Evans scorer abolished last season, the Kings immediately corrected this error this season.

But some mistakes cannot be reversed. For example, now, after playing shooting guard for a year, Evans can't find the kind of spirituality he had at the beginning. His current point guard effect is very mediocre, from organization effect to assist data, not as good as the first year.

Link defended directly in front of Evans, but did not press close, but broke through the main defense.

Evans's projection is unstable, which is his biggest weakness. For three seasons, Evans's three-point shooting percentage has not exceeded 30%, and this year it is only an exaggerated 20.2%.

Not to mention the three points, Evans even the CIC is not very reliable. Half of his shots per game come from the basket, which shows what style of player he is.

Evans called Cousins ​​from outside the three-point line to screen, but for such a player who can only break through, it is not difficult to prevent the pick-and-roll cooperation between him and the big man.

Just withdraw directly.

Link walked around directly behind Cousins, waiting for Evans to come in!

Sure enough, even if Link gave him such a big gap, Evans did not choose to shoot. It seems that he still knows his shooting level. This is better than Westbrook, at least Evans doesn't make waves.

After Evans rushed out of Cousins, Link relentlessly blocked it, interrupting Evans' breakthrough.

Evans suffered a plantar fasciitis injury, causing his start speed to be much slower than before. This is also the reason why his scoring has decreased year by year in the past three seasons.

Evans was forced to stop easily, and Evans had no choice but to hit the ball to Cousins ​​who cut inside. After receiving the basketball, Cousins ​​directly faced Gasol and made a layup, which was the kind of force that didn't dodge.

In the next second, people in the penalty area turned their backs! The referee's hurried whistle sounded, and Cousins ​​waved his fist. He thought he had won a foul.

As a result, the referee shouted number 15, and then pointed to the technical table. The cousin realized that the referee was blowing an offensive foul!

"Offensive foul!? What!?" Cousins ​​rushed to the referee with a look of surprise. The game only started the first round, and this guy has a tendency to explode on the spot.

The teammates quickly persuaded Cousins ​​to leave, and the cousin gave up.

Link sighed, and rushed over like you in a daze. If you don't foul you, who fouls...

In this way, the Grizzlies easily won the offensive ball. The Kings' defensive discipline is not strong, their new coach Keith Smart is not a coach who is good at deploying defense.

Today, the Grizzlies players are obviously feeding Link deliberately, hoping that he can score more points. It's better to be respectful, so Link started singles Evans with the ball!

Evans is still very serious about guarding, although he lacks confidence, his attitude is still there.

But Link only used a very beautiful big change of direction to directly pass this once best rookie.

Evans has general defensive judgment, and he used to rely mainly on athletic ability to defend. Now that the athletic ability is lost, the defense is even more ineffective.

Easily, Link reached the middle distance, and then softly shot before Evans could catch up.

"Swipe!" The basketball went into the net hollow. The Grizzlies scored the first goal very easily. It can be said that they scored without even executing the tactics.

"The Kings' defense must be tighter, otherwise the score will be opened soon." Jaylen Rose doesn't want this game to be beaten, otherwise it will become very boring tonight.

But it is a pity that the Kings’ second offense was still a fight!

This time, Evans forced Link to make a layup. Maybe Evans wanted to be ashamed, but this approach is indeed very improper.

Not to mention that the Grizzlies have black and white bears inside, and Link doesn't mean that they can be strong.

After all, his weight and strength are completely different from last season. In the end, Evans missed a layup in a very intense confrontation and fell to the bottom line in embarrassment.

The Grizzlies immediately began to counterattack. Taking advantage of Evans's fall, the Grizzlies can form more and less if they are fast enough.

Don't talk about victory without war, in the world of competitive sports, there are only winners and losers.

Link took the opportunity to land to the right bottom corner, Mike Conley broke through the ball to find Link unattended. The latter took a three-pointer calmly, and the basketball hollowed into the net for the second time!

5 to 0, after two rounds, the Kings had not realized what happened, they were already 5 points behind.

Cousins ​​just ran back to his own half, and he was about to run back again, and his heart was cold.

"It won't be so bad all the time, there will definitely be a turning point." Cousins ​​picked up the basketball and comforted himself silently in his heart.

Sometimes this is the case in basketball games. It is possible that the opponent will score a few consecutively, and then he will also score a few consecutively. Could it be possible that the Grizzlies can still stretch the points difference in the first quarter?

You can get 12 points by pulling one point per minute! What's more, the King won't let the Grizzlies open a point every minute!

Cousins ​​sent the baseline ball, he must score this time!

Last season, Cousins ​​averaged 12.4 shots per game and nearly 20 games were on the bench. And this year, Cousins' shots have risen to nearly 15 times, and he started each game. The Kings completely freed Cousins ​​from the shackles and made him the core of the team's offense.

Therefore, when Cousins ​​asked for the ball, the rest of the Kings could hardly refuse, including Evans.

Cousins ​​did not fight Gasol in the low post this time, but chose to catch the ball in the middle distance. He has range and speed, and it's generally not a problem to play Gasol at mid-range.

As a result, when Evans passed the ball to Cousins, Link abandoned Evans to double-up.

The cousin got the ball in the middle distance, but got caught in a double team!

"Double double teamwork, Tyreke Evans' poor shooting ability allows Link to double-team the Kings inside!"

"Damn, really merciless!" Cousins ​​murmured, but instead of him, he would do the same to Link.

I was double-teamed, so I should pass the ball as soon as possible. But Cousins ​​was caught by Link and Gasol, who are good at defending, and there really is no passing route. What's more, even if he passes the ball, Evans' shots may not necessarily threaten the Grizzlies' basket.

While Cousins ​​was still hesitating, Link struck and stabbed Cousins' basketball away!

The Kings offense failed again!

This time, Link passed the ball to Guy, who was in front of him. Guy rode a thousand shots and smashed the ball with one hand to ignite the audience! 7-0, Keith Smart called the game to stop!

"Well done boys, this is the game I want. Keep our defense, and can't let the Kings use their vigor to play their momentum. As for the offensive end... I wish you all have fun." , Hollins had almost nothing to set up. The Kings have not caused the Grizzlies any trouble so far, and Hollins has no need to make adjustments.

After returning from the timeout, the Kings took the lead in substitution. Fredette and Isaiah Thomas appeared on the stage, replacing the indolent Marcus Thornton and Francisco Garcia, aiming to score quickly!

Watching "the strongest 175 on the surface" play, Link finally felt that this game was finally a bit interesting.

But Evans was embarrassed, Thomas came on the court, and he became second again! The Kings' positioning of Evans has been vacillating, and Evans has no idea what he should do.

After the game restarted, the organization of Thomas Jr. did make the Kings offensive smoother. Fredette borrowed an off-the-ball screen to go outside the three-point line and catch the ball.

Unfortunately, "Lonely" Fredette's shot eventually deviated from the basket. Rudy Gay is tall and long in arms, so it's not too easy to guard against the young Fredette.

The Kings continue to score no points!

After the Grizzlies played, Xiao Kangli ate Thomas and scored a layup. Thomas’ height of 1.75 meters really suffers, not to mention that the Kings do not have a good defensive system to help Thomas cover up shortcomings. 9-0, the King of Sacramento was in deep water!

"The Kings haven't opened yet. They have changed a lot of players to attack, but the defense against the Grizzlies is still painless. Next, who will take over the hot potato?"

Looking at it, only the 175, the strongest on the surface, has not attacked, so come!

Thomas has obvious advantages, projection and breakthrough. Thomas Jr. shot 37.9% from three-pointers this season, the team's highest. The finishing rate at the basket is 64.8%, which is incredible for his height.

Only this time, Thomas was facing Conley, who was good at defensively, and it was not so easy for him to score.

Little Thomas shook, but Conley did not lose his position. He is like an old ball ruffian, watching Thomas act fiercely after a meal, but he still sticks in place.

In the end, Thomas had to borrow Cousins ​​to break through. But it's a pity that Randolph, the **** bear, killed Thomas when he layup, and even flew out with the ball.

Randolph collided with little Thomas, as if a big truck hit a little electric donkey.

Since Randolph slapped the basketball first before knocking down Thomas because of inertia, there was still no foul!

Cousins ​​gritted his teeth and ran away today!

※※※

At the end of the first quarter, Link organized the final attack. At this point, the fans on the scene were much quieter, not as excited as they were at the beginning.

The one who defended Link became Travis Outlaw, a swingman who had dunked Yao Ming.

Outlaw is tall with long arms and amazing jumping. It is rumored that he can touch the edge of the backboard when he jumps up.

But Link quickly put an end to the rumors, because Link used the cover to break through and faced Outlaw's high toss, and Outlaw did not complete the block.

The basketball wiped the board into the net, and the backboard was red. At the end of the first quarter, Link looked up at the score and turned to leave.

34 to 21, the huge number is printed there, telling everyone that this crazy score is true!

The Grizzlies, who have always been known for their defense, actually scored 34 points in the first quarter! In the first quarter of the game, he led the King by 13 points!

Cousins ​​was very depressed on the bench~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He thought it was impossible to be led by the Grizzlies in one minute. But now, the king is behind by more than 12 points!

Sure enough, fg can't stand upright. Sometimes, the game is not necessarily about offense and defense between the two sides, but it is really one-sided!

But what fans care most about now is not the difference, nor the highlights of the first quarter.

Their only concern is Link's scoring. After the first quarter, after counting the buzzer layup just now, Link has already scored 12 points!

It's only 6 points away from Griffin's 18 points when he played the Raptors.

When Link was off the court, Randolph deliberately made an expression of bitterness and hatred, "Look at you, is this human doing? It would be boring if you surpass Griffin so easily."

Link spread his hands and did not answer.

No way, the other party is really weak. It seems that the All-Star debut is really interesting.
