Reverse Growth Superstar
: Eighty-two: The game was still taken over
4 points, the Bobcats' advantage disappeared in an instant. The fans in the Time Warner Center Arena didn't have long been happy before they became nervous again.
Link's appearance immediately changed the mental outlook of the Grizzlies, and this lazy giant bear seemed to have signs of standing up again.
Of course, the Bobcats do not want the Grizzlies to stand up again, because in terms of hard power, they are not as good as the Grizzlies. Therefore, all they need to do is to continue to suppress and use a more energetic style of play to bring down this tired behemoth.
Although Stephen Jackson knows Link's strength, he will never underestimate that draft pick. But to be honest, if this game is lost because of an opponent's substitute, Stephen Jackson can't accept it.
Therefore, when the Bobcats attacked again, Stephen Jackson was not so reckless. He was always observing Link's position, and he didn't want to suffer a second time by defending him just now.
But when Stephen Jackson was distracted to observe Link, Rudy Gay was very difficult for him.
Link's two goals just improved the morale of the Grizzlies. Rudy Gay definitely doesn't want to lose to Link. He wants to prove that Link can do what he can do as the star of this team.
Stephen Jackson can clearly feel that the Grizzlies’ defensive strength is different! At least, Rudy Gay's defensive strength is different from just now.
Therefore, when he received the pass from D.J. Augustine again, Jackson no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning.
Guy's eyes were fixed on Jackson, as if he wanted to eat him alive. He doesn't allow himself to let a loser wipe his butt, this kind of thing must not happen!
This time, no matter how Stephen Jackson moves or makes fake moves, Guy will stick to it. Once Rudy Gay defends seriously, his defensive ability is still very strong. After all, this guy's physical condition is there, as long as his attitude is good, the defense will not be bad.
Helpless, Stephen Jackson had to return the ball to Augustine. Augustine called for inside cover, and then broke through quickly.
But this time, Augustine's layup was relentlessly blocked by Gasol who was under the defense. It’s not easy for a Spanish center with a height of 2.15 meters to block a defender with a height of only 1.83 meters.
"Augustin was a little overconfident. He actually dared to challenge Gasol's inside line. But speaking of it, the Grizzlies' defense seems to be much tougher than before."
That’s right, Augustine was able to score easily just the same way, because Gasol and Randolph were too tired to arrive in time.
But now, everyone on the Grizzlies has been ignited by Link. Seeing a little brother working hard, where can these big brothers lose the chain?
Augustine looked at Gasol in surprise, he had never discovered that the Spaniard was so vicious. Conley received the basketball, and the Grizzlies got another chance to fight back.
Although Link, Randolph and Gasol are not the kind of players who can run, Guy and Conley can run.
These two guys formed a 2-on-1 situation in the frontcourt. Conley scored the ball calmly and assisted Guy with an easy dunk.
Physical problems will make the Grizzlies players' shooting percentages lower, but dunks don't have the problem of shooting percentages. The probability of dunking a basketball without interference in the NBA2K game is greater than reality. Because in reality, if players feel that they cannot complete a dunk, they will not force it.
"2 points, the Bobcats are now only 2 points ahead. Coach Paul Silas finally stopped the game, but I think he should have stopped the game long ago!"
Gay’s dunk stopped the game. Although the Bobcats still had a two-point advantage, they were actually passive, and the Grizzlies had already shown momentum.
After the timeout, Link inevitably was touched by his teammates. This time not only Randolph, but even Lionel Hollins rubbed Link's head with joy, "Good job, you get the team back on track!"
Link raised his head and looked at the big screen at the scene. He didn't even believe it. It was his appearance that turned the game around. Although he only scored 4 points, but he successfully changed the mental outlook of the team.
So, data is really not the only criterion for measuring a player's quality.
After the timeout, the Bobcats made some personnel adjustments. At this point, the first quarter of the game is almost over, and both teams must change.
On the Grizzlies' side, the starter didn't stay. Link and Tony Allen will lead the second team. On the Bobcats side, Paul Silas kept Stephen Jackson.
The Bobcats' bench depth is very urgent. If you send a full bench to play, I'm afraid you can't play at all. Therefore, Paul Silas had to let the elderly Stephen Jackson continue to play. In fact, this season since Gerald Wallace was injured, Stephen Jackson has often played more than 40 minutes.
For a 33-year-old veteran, this is not easy.
Now, Stephen Jackson is actually very tired, but helpless, he must carry the team to move on. He is a very professional professional player, he does not allow himself to paddle on the court.
When the second team came up, Stephen Jackson’s opponent instantly changed from Gay to Link. With this magical undrafted pick, Jackson finally has a chance to play against it!
He will not let this guy take over the game, the Bobcats must win the game!
"Both sides have changed, and the first quarter is about to end. The Bobcats must be very depressed. They could have entered the second quarter with a double-digit advantage. But now, they can only pray for the end of the first quarter. Don’t fall behind before.”
In the commentator's teasing, the Bobcats backup point guard Sean Livingston took possession of the ball. Livingston is a high point guard, originally a high school genius. But after suffering a serious injury, all aspects of abilities have declined severely.
So, even in the face of Vasquez, Livingston did not intend to attack on his own.
Nowadays, the Bobcats have only Stephen Jackson in the lineup. Others can steal a few goals occasionally, but they are really not powerful.
Livingston waited for a long time outside the three-point line, but he did not play the ball. It's not because he doesn't know who to pass to, but because his pass target has not been able to receive the ball.
Steven Jackson was in a tough fight at this time, and Link was inseparable from him before he caught the ball. The 33-year-old Stephen Jackson's speed is really hard to say, not much better than Hill in his twilight years.
Although the Bobcats also set up a few off-the-ball screens for Stephen Jackson, the quality of the screens is very average.
Livingston didn't dare to pass the ball rashly. He had seen how strong Link's stealing ability was. The keen sense of smell and the slender arms make Link a natural interceptor.
Finally, Jackson had to go to Livingston to catch the ball. But in this way, Jackson also fell into a situation where he had to hold the ball and fight Link one-on-one.
Jackson was sweating profusely. He has been playing for a long time now and his breathing is very uneven. But he can't stop, the entire team's offense is looking up to him.
Then, Jackson made a three-threat maneuver and broke through directly. But just as he speeded up, Link slammed forward and gave Jackson a fierce physical confrontation!
Tony Allen on the side laughed. This is his usual defensive skill, and the guy Link is really learning it.
"What!?" Jackson was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the defense of this undrafted pick was actually tougher than Gay!
also played a back-to-back and then immediately came to Charlotte to play the game. Why is this Chinese not tired at all?
Jackson then tried several breakthroughs, but failed. He can't believe that the No. 0 in front of him is a losing rookie, because his judgment on the offensive side is too old.
Jackson finally ended the offense with a dry jumper. Of course, his shot missed, and Link's interference made Jackson's shooting sight miss.
Stephen Jackson has experienced Link's power for the first time, and he will definitely survive in the NBA after losing the draft. No, it's not just survival, maybe that guy can become a star! The other Jacksons don't know, but Link at the same time is much better than when he was 22 years old.
The offensive failed, but the war between Stephen Jackson and Link is still not over. Next, Jackson was replaced to defend Link.
Link didn't have so many bells and whistles. As soon as he received the basketball, he asked Darrell Arthur to set up a screen for himself. In the second team, Link likes to play the pick and roll with Arthur the most. Because Arthur can open space outside the three-point line, this will make the offense extremely easy.
This time, Arthur immediately withdrew from the three-point line after blocking, the Bobcats had to wait outside the three-point line ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Link, who had already broken through, could only be chased by Stephen Jackson.
But the old-fashioned Jackson can still catch up with Link. Link made a light throw from a step behind the free throw line to complete the offense.
Clean and unpretentious, but very practical. Link's offense made Jackson feel desperate. He found that from his height to ability, there was nothing better than Link. Um... Maybe the temper is bigger than Link.
"Equalized! The Grizzlies tied the score under Link's leadership! Now there is only more than 1 minute left before the end of the first quarter. If Link continues to work hard, he may even complete the overtake! Who will stop him? Bobcats The team can't let their plan be broken!"
Paul Silas also wants to ask who can stop Link, but for the present Bobcats, Stephen Jackson is already the strongest third defender.
If he can’t even do it, I’m afraid...
Stephen Jackson worked hard for 12 minutes, but in the end he still couldn't stop Link from taking over the game.
With almost all members of the Grizzlies playing poorly, Link helped the Grizzlies change their fate.
Finally, the Grizzlies entered the second quarter with a two-point advantage. Link later successfully attacked and defended Jackson again, allowing the Grizzlies to officially go from behind to lead.
4 of 5 shots, 8 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter. Link can't fault him in terms of statistics or field performance.
Hollins chose to let him take over the game, which is simply the most correct decision today. After leaving the field, Link took a sip of water. He played the longest in the first quarter, but he seemed to be the easiest of all Grizzlies players.
It seems that in the next three quarters, Link still has the strength to create more magical performance...
