089: Superstars and Undrafted (1/40)

During the game, Gasol Jr. won the first attack with his height and wingspan.

Mike Conley moved forward cautiously, and the entire Grizzlies played very slowly. Hollins’s requirement today was to be cautious. Whoever can control the mistakes in this critical game can control the situation.

Conley just got closer to the three-point line when Chris Paul started his performance.

Paul's defense is very tough, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his defense is a bit dirty. In order to succeed in defense, Paul doesn't mind using some small moves to achieve the effect.

How fierce is Paul's defense? Wade once said: On the basketball court, Chris Paul will not treat anyone as a friend.

Even if he is good friends, Paul will do anything, not to mention that Conley and Paul are far from being friends.

Paul's close-fitting defense made Conley uncomfortable. He now feels difficult to organize the offense, not to mention organizing the offense. If he is not careful, Paul can seize the flaw and stab the ball away.

Although Conley had been playing in the league for four years at this time, he was still far less mature than he would be in the future.

In the end, Conley had to hand over the ball to Guy who was out of pocket. As the Grizzlies' number one scorer, Guy naturally wanted to take the lead in such a critical game.

However, Ariza's defense is not a joke. Guy tried to break through for the first time, but Ariza was forced to stop.

Seeing this, Guy did not pass the ball, nor did he continue to grit his teeth and break through, but suddenly stopped and jumped!

"Damn it!" Hollins covered his forehead. The guy had an old problem again. When he encountered a tough defense, he wanted to use an emergency stop jump shot to solve the problem. This was almost Guy's most inefficient offensive method.

Sure enough, under the defense of Ariza's face, Rudy Guy's shot hit the box. The Grizzlies' first offense failed, which was very motivating.

"The Hornets' defense is excellent, with strong defenders in almost every position." Kenny Smith applauded the Hornets' excellent defense, but after saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Italian defender Belinelli.

If you want to talk about the only defensive weakness of the Hornets, it may be Berlinelli. I just don’t know if Link’s undraft can help the Grizzlies open up the situation.

When the Hornets were replaced, Chris Paul was much more stable than Conley. Although Conley's defense was also very strong, Paul was not affected at all.

After he walked outside the three-point line, he began to command the attack calmly. West brought in the cover and Paul was waiting for an opportunity to break through.

Although Paul is a "pass number one" point guard, if anyone dares to underestimate his scoring ability, he will definitely be punished.

Seeing Paul breaking through, the Grizzlies' defense had to shrink. Paul looked at the sixth direction, shook his wrist and passed the ball very casually.

The basketball found nothing but someone else, but the Italian defender Belinelli ambushed in the corner on the right.

Paul just saw that the No. 0 Chinese also leaned under the basket a few steps, so he decided to pass the ball to the Italian. He believed that as long as there was a little room, Belinelli could shoot a long shot and score a goal.

"Here!" Belinelli couldn't wait to get the basketball before he received the basketball. It was a great blessing for a shooter to play next to a point guard of Paul's level. As long as you get the opportunity, you don't have to worry that the point guard won't see the opportunity.

Receive the ball, take off, press the wrist, and fingers, Belinelli's shooting moves were completed in one go. He felt good, and if he could successfully take action, he would probably hit it.

However, just as Belinelli just pushed the ball out, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the Italian defender.

"What!?" Just as Belinelli was shocked, the "Black Shadow" waved his arm and flew his shot directly into the audience.

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet for a second, and everyone was stunned, including Paul.

"This is incredible. Link blocked Belinelli's shot directly from outside the three-point line. When Paul passed the ball, Belinelli was clearly in an open position. But when he received the ball and shot, Link arrived at the right time. This guy was played well outside the three-point line by Korver in the last game. It seems that today, Link doesn't want such a thing to happen again."

Barkley smiled, don't underestimate the unsuccessful draft!

Paul was also a little surprised. His pass was fine, and Belinelli's shot was fine. The problem was, why could that number 0 be so sensitive? If he had planned to shrink the inside from the beginning, his thoughts would not have been faster than the pass.

There is only one possibility that No. 0 deliberately pretended to shrink and induce himself to pass the ball!

Thinking of this, Paul shook his head. No, he was just a loser and could not be so smart.

Although Belinelli's shooting was blocked, the offensive ball rights still belong to the Hornets. Belinelli stood on the sidelines and was ready to respond at any time, but Link refused to let in.

The Italians began to be a little afraid of Link because the Asian spirit seemed to fight to the death with Belinelli.

In the end, the basketball was handed over to Paul. Paul made Conley's center of gravity sway and suddenly retreated and jumped.

Paul's shooting is very steady, especially in mid-range shots. When the touch feels good, he gives people a feeling of hitting every shot.

This time, when Conley failed to interfere in time, Paul's mid-range shot was extremely straightforward and entered the net hollow.

"Damn!" Link curled his lips. He finally made a shot but unexpectedly he could not stop the Hornets from scoring.

It seems that Paul is like himself today, with great desire for victory.

After scoring the goal, Paul looked at Link, as if he was provoking you and couldn't defend us.

Facing Paul's fierce look, Link was very helpless. He just wanted to tie the score as soon as possible!

With Randolph and Guy on the court, Link was not Hollins' first choice on the offensive end.

After Guy missed the last time he made a shot, it was Randolph's turn to attack this time.

However, why is David West a soft persimmon? Not only can he stand up to others, but his defensive skills are also excellent. If he stands lighter, Randolph will not stand up to him. If he stands heavy, West will fall down at any time and commit a foul.

Randolph, who was in a dilemma, did not go smoothly at the low post, but the Big Black Bear didn't want to escape easily.

So, when it was still a little far from the basket, Randolph turned over and hooked his hand.

However, David West's judgment on Randolph's attack was very accurate. Although he failed to directly complete the blocking, it still seriously interfered with Randolph's attack.

Belinelli smiled. It seems that the Memphis Grizzlies, who have been reported crazy by the media recently, are just like this.

Just as the Italian was complaining about the Grizzlies' offense, he suddenly felt something was wrong. What about Link?

The basketball thrown by Randolph hit the front of the basket, and Okafor and Gasol Jr. were entangled. But before the two men could take off, Link rose into the air without warning.

Paul was originally ready to fight back, but when he saw No. 0 that flew into the air, his expression instantly frozen. When did this guy get in?

Belinelli is a pure defender and rarely works in the interior. Therefore, his sense of positioning is not strong. Therefore, it is easy for Link to jump into the interior.

In the air, in the astonished eyes of everyone in the audience, Link grabbed the rebound. Before he could land, Link directly pressed the ball back!

"Bang!" A loud bang came from the center of the smoothie king, and the rebound could not stop trembling under Link's pressure.

Grant Hill in his twilight years can occasionally show his glory when he was young. There is no doubt that Link inherited this fine tradition of his.

"Repair! A beautiful replies. Link seems very excited today, and he is extremely active. Link has never been known for his athletic ability, but because of this, this ball is beyond expectations."

Barkley was so excited that he danced with all his heart. Link's patch was so motivating. Although the Grizzlies did not play this offense, the unexpected goal was even more surprising.

"Beautiful, boy! I won't miss the opportunity next time."

Sure enough, Link fell from the basket and Randolph immediately yelled at him. It was not that Randolph lost his temper, but that his beastly nature had been stimulated by Link.

Link didn't say a word, and didn't even look at Belinelli who was facing him.

He turned his eyes directly to Paul, and the two of them looked at each other again. Link was responding to Paul's provocation just now!
