Reverse Growth Superstar

The Raptors' "dumpling" defense made Link very uncomfortable.

Facing two strikers with strong athletic ability at the same time plus a tall and arm-length guard frame striker, this can be more tight than ordinary double-teaming.

Link then began to try to pass in double teams, but the effect was not good. It's not that Link's pass is not good, but Link's teammates are not shooting well after passing the ball.

Conley and Iguodala's consecutive three-pointers made the Raptors double-team more decisive and fierce.

Link exhausted his physical energy violently, but was unable to reduce the score for the Grizzlies.

After halfway through the first quarter, Georgel reluctantly replaced Iguodala with Nick Young, hoping to help Link outside the three-point line.

Today, however, "Yang Shaoxia" does not seem to be in a state. As a "thumper", when you enjoy the benefits of Nick Young for the team after the outbreak, you must also accept the negative impact on the team when he feels bad.

The Grizzlies were unable to shoot today's three-pointer, and Link struggled with DeRozan, Gay and Valanciunas double-teamed.

The Raptors' situation is exactly the opposite of the Grizzlies. They are very efficient, and even Guy has a rare high efficiency. Today, DeRozan, Lowry and Gay are very closely connected, and because of the Grizzlies’ poor shooting rate, the Raptors counterattack many times, so most of the shot choices are more reasonable, and the shooting rate is naturally high.

The Raptors, who originally had no sense of existence, were stunned by the Federal Express Arena. After a season of play, even the strongest team will have the gutter overturned.

Even the omnipotent Bull in 1996 suffered a loss on a weak team.

It is worth mentioning that the Toronto Raptors, which was just established that year, was one of the members who defeated the 96 Bulls. The Raptors only won 21 wins that year, and one of them defeated God.

Countless Canadian fans are excited at this time. Perhaps this time, the Raptors can once again create miracles like defeating the Bulls in 1996!

After the first quarter of the game, the Raptors entered the intersessional break 28-20 with an 8-point advantage.

It is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement to get rid of the Grizzlies by 8 points in one game. The Raptors had just made a long shot at the final buzzer in the first quarter. If it weren't for Terrence Rose's three-pointer, the Grizzlies would be behind by double digits.

Guy put his arms around the shoulders of his two little brothers and smiled happily. No team can't be defeated, even if it is the league's first!

"The Grizzlies played so passive today. They seemed to collectively forget their front sight in Indianapolis. Link created a lot of opportunities for others, but they seized too few opportunities."

Hubby Brown is also nervous now. He didn't expect the Raptors to perform so well today.

Indeed, even a strong team has times when the gutter capsizes. But it would be a pity if the Grizzlies' undefeated golden body were so easily destroyed in the hands of the Raptors.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' problem is very obvious, that is the three-point shooting percentage!

As long as the problem of three-point shooting can be solved, the Grizzlies can find their rhythm. The Raptors fought a lot of counterattacks today, most of which were the Grizzlies missed three points, allowing the Raptors to get long rebounds and easily counterattack.

So as long as the three-pointer can make it, all problems will be solved.

Link sat on the bench, taking every second of his break. 8 points is a hurdle, if you can pull it back in time, it would be fine. But if the points difference continues to be opened up, the game may be fully into the rhythm of the Raptors.

Georgel is also very troubled, and some problems cannot be solved tactically. No matter how good the tactics are, but the player can't make the final blow, even if the great coach comes.

The Grizzlies didn’t get a chance just now. Link’s breakthrough points created many open shot opportunities, but the low shooting percentage did not turn the chance into a score.

Nick Young, Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris and other substitutes, George Georg also tried, the effect is very average. Nick Young won't be able to play if he can't draw. As for the latter two, they are not shooters.

Now, the Grizzlies have only one candidate left. But in the previous few games, he didn't get any chance to play, so if he is sent on the field, there is definitely a risk.

But today, whether he was ready or not, Georgel had to let him try.

"Mike, you started for Iguodala in the second quarter. When Link is double-teamed, I hope you can seize the opportunity!"

After Georgel finished, a white man with long hair stood up and took off his training suit.

He didn't ask or say much. Instead, he silently pressed his leg and jumped on the spot twice. His every move reveals two words, mature and professional.

Five years later, he was fighting for the Federal Express Arena again, and everything was wrong. But the goal is the same-victory.

After a brief warm-up, Mike Miller turned his head and blinked at Link, "Don't worry Link, I will try to grasp it."

For some reason, Link suddenly felt relieved.

※※※

Mike Miller, a name with few roles in NBA history.

He was once the best rookie in the 00-01 season, the best sixth man in the 05-06 season, and the hero of the Heat winning the 11-12 season.

Even with honors, many people are still not impressed by Mike Miller. After all, he was never the protagonist.

When taking the best sixth man in the 05-06 season, the protagonist of the Grizzlies was Gasol, who averaged 20+8+4 per game. In the 06-07 season, Gasol was troubled by injuries and only played 59 games. Miller was ordered to take on the core role of the offense, averaging 18.5 points per game. But because the Grizzlies finally failed to make the playoffs, he still didn't get much recognition and attention, and he passed by with the protagonist.

By the time he won the championship in 2012, Miller had gone from the best rookie to a 30-year-old veteran. At that time, he was no longer the backbone of the league.

Although he has never been the protagonist, Mike Miller doesn't care. He may not be the protagonist, but he will be exhausted for the team's victory. He will try his best to grasp every three-point opportunity and convert it to the team's advantage.

Until now, Mike Miller is still the player with the most three-pointers in the history of the Grizzlies. This is his home court!

However, even Grizzlies fans, many do not know this record, let alone the Raptors players.

When the three-pointer of the Federal Express Arena came back online, they didn't even feel the danger was approaching.

"The Grizzlies replaced Mike Miller. They obviously wanted to improve the team's three-point situation. Link played at the beginning of the second quarter, which shows that the Grizzlies are really embarrassed."

Hubby Brown introduced Miller in just a few words. No one believes that a guy who is almost 34 years old and has severely degraded athletic ability can help Link in front of Guy and DeRozan flying in the sky.

But Link didn't think so, he felt inexplicably relieved when Miller shot him at him in the blink of an eye.

Miller seemed to be the patron saint beside Link, as long as he saw him beside him, Link would not be afraid of being knocked down by his opponent.

Although not long with Miller, although they were opponents in the finals last season. But through the limited relationship, it is not difficult for Link to find Miller's maturity.

On the first day he came to the team, he would bring a small gift to each teammate. He can talk to everyone and mingle with everyone. He never slackens on the training ground because he is a veteran, even as desperately as a young player.

His unique mature temperament is inexplicably reassuring. In the dark, Link always felt that Miller was the turning point of this game!

After the start of the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked. On the Raptors side, the strategy is the same as in the first quarter.

Gay led the entire court against Link, and Valanciunas would not easily stay away from the basket. DeRozan kept his distance from Miller while guarding against Link's breakthrough.

Once Link speeds up into the penalty area, the three-person double-team will soon be formed!

Link didn't try too much with the Raptors. In the first round, after he took the basketball, he went inside around Randolph's screen.

Guy quickly got rid of the pick-and-roll and stretched his long arms to delay Link, preventing him from sprinting comfortably.

Valanciunas immediately moved to the basket, as if a mountain was blocking the basket.

DeRozan left Miller without hesitation. The Grizzlies couldn't change a bunch of main players. Why should there be a mere Mike Miller?

Hubby Brown on the commentary stage closed his eyes and double-doubled brutally again. Link will definitely fall hard!

At the moment when the encirclement was formed, Link used a hook-like action to pass the basketball from the crowd to the three-point line.

Everything is so familiar, double-teaming, passing, vacancy...This kind of drama was staged countless times in the first quarter of the game, but most of the time, the ending ended in iron.

Mike Miller received the basketball, and the familiar feeling instantly penetrated his body.

Why did he fly from Miami to Memphis? One is because the Heat wanted to clear the space, Miller couldn't keep it. Secondly, because Miller still wants to play high-level games to assist the greatest players!

Before, he thought the greatest player was James. But now, it's Link.

Let me **** you, boy!

Mike Miller shot decisively, without hesitation for even a second. He spent his prime in Memphis. The Grizzlies are Miller’s longest playing team~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now, it’s time to tell the world that the three-pointer of the Federal Express Arena is back. !

"Mike Miller made a three-pointer, did you have it this time? It's in! It's finally in, Mike Miller killed! The Grizzlies finally broke their scoring drought, and the Raptors finally paid outside the three-point line. The price! Mike Miller played a role as soon as he came on the court, he deserves to be one of the best shooters in the league!"

Hubby Brown and the fans cheered, cheering for a marginal man on the bench.

Miller smiled slightly after the goal. This feeling... is so familiar. Five years ago, he did this in Memphis every day. Now, nothing has changed.

Miller quickly began to retreat. On the way back, he glanced at Link and blinked at Link again.

Link laughed. He knew that Miller could be trusted.

The Raptors want to topple the league hegemony like in 1996? From now on, it's impossible.
