On November 4, the Memphis Grizzlies' match against the Houston Rockets once again became the national live broadcast of ESPN.

There were two consecutive games broadcast nationwide in one week, which was 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 retirement tour? The fans don’t expect you to play well at all. As long as you can play on the court, they will be satisfied.

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

"Link and Harden, they are definitely the two most dangerous scorers in the league this season. One is 61 points in a single game and the other is 59 points in a single game. Such explosiveness is absolutely amazing. Hubi, how much do you think the individual scores of both sides will reach today?"

Before the game started, Kevin Harlan asked Hubby Brown a question that all fans were concerned about.

30 points, 40 points, or even 50 points? What will Link and Harden play today?

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

“I don’t think they scored too much.”

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

"Yes, Link said he didn't want to score with Harden, which means he wanted to use defense to decide the outcome. Believe me, the Grizzlies won't let a player score high points easily. They are different from the Wizards, and you never expect to see the All-Star Game in the Federal Express Arena."

Hubby Brown knew Link and the Grizzlies so well that he gave Davis 40 points in the last game. There was nothing he could do, and he really couldn't defend himself.

But the Grizzlies are not struggling with defensive end today. Lao Hubi believes that the Grizzlies will put defense first.

The Rockets' biggest advantage is offense. Most of the teams coached by D'Antoni are like this. The Rockets are now like the Phoenix Suns in the past, and their offense is extremely gorgeous.

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

However, not many people listened to Huby Brown's analysis. Do a good job of defense? Then you have to be able to defend.

Harden and Westbrook, one averaged nearly 40 per game, and the other averaged nearly 30 per game. How to defend?

The only way for the Grizzlies is to attack with attack!

Before the game began, the referee called on both sides to be prepared.

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

Westbrook, Harden, Daniel House, Tucker and Capela, the Rockets have not changed their lines and still use their previous lineup.

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

It seems that D'Antoni is still immersed in the Rockets' fierce offensive firepower and has not really thought about the problems existing in this Rocket.

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

But then again, the opponents the Rockets encountered in the previous six games did not seem to have put too much pressure on the Rockets on the defensive end.

No wonder D'Antoni was so satisfied with his own set.

So today, Link will ask D'Antoni to have a good look.

How fragile his set is actually!

Before the game began, Link looked at Jokic.

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

"Are you ready for Nikola?"

"Well, I'm a little excited."

"Get started, put Harden and Westbrook in jail!"

After Link finished speaking, he retreated behind Jokic. The referee quickly threw the basketball. Jokic's can of Coke bounced high, so he naturally could not beat the "Bief King" Capela in the competition.

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

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

Harden ran through half the ball, and sure enough, Link personally opened his arms and guarded him.

However, Harden was not surprised by this, he had no hope of pinching a soft persimmon like Brooks.

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

p.j. Tucker is wearing a pair of Link's fourth-generation limited edition sneakers, which can be seen that he is also a fan of Link's 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, was considered a weird game.

But over the years, short inside players like Tucker have become more and more popular.

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

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

Harden originally wanted to pass the ball to Capela at the basket, but Jokic also blocked the entire pass route.

In this way, Harden had to stop in the middle distance and seek another opportunity.

However, as soon as he stopped, Link had already double-teamed up.

"Double double-team, Harden was double-teamed in the first leg of the game! Jokic's position is very accurate, this is a premeditated defense! It seems that your analysis is correct, Huby. The Grizzlies really want to work hard on defense!"

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

Jokic's position and the timing of going forward are just right. Although he cannot block the shots like other centers, he also has his advantages on the defensive end.

However, Jokic's execution did not appear out of thin air. If it weren't for being called by Link to his home to "make up" yesterday, Jokic wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

After all, I sacrificed the opportunity to attend an internet celebrity party, so I can’t sacrifice it for nothing.

Harden is caught in double-teaming. If Capela can open up space at this time, the Rockets can easily get a three-pointer with an open position.

But there is no way. As a "cake-eating" center, Capela didn't know how to score when she left the penalty area.

Before Harden could figure out who to pass the ball to, Link took the opportunity to do everything and cut off the basketball from Harden's hand.

Link doesn't cut the ball, but once he decides to start, it means he is extremely sure.

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

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

Jokic's just right blockade and Link's pursuit put Harden in a tough battle!

After cutting off the basketball, Link handed the ball to Dillon Brooks, Brooks took the ball and quickly attacked, and Westbrook followed closely behind.

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

Brooks knew that Westbrook's ability to chase was quite strong.

It usually won't be a good result when that guy is chasing.

As an older rookie, Brooks's calmness and combat effectiveness are his greatest strengths.

Link suddenly started to catch the basketball. Now, even Westbrook was helpless with Link.

"boom!"

It was a dunk at the beginning, which seemed to have become Link's habit. It seemed that he would be embarrassed to say hello to others without showing off his "muscles" at the beginning.

"Don't panic, keep on attacking!"

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

Perhaps in his opinion, Harden's mistake was just a coincidence. After all, Harden has about five mistakes per game, and he may have been used to it.

Hearing the roar of the mustache, Link shook his head.

It seems that he is indeed an offensive coach.

Since that's the case, let's teach them what defense means today!

Link led the team to retreat quickly and returned. This time, the attacker with the ball became Westbrook.

It was Harden who attacked the "Divine Turtle".

But it doesn't matter who attacks, and the Grizzlies have prepared special strategies for Westbrook.
Chapter completed!
