238: Have a good time and support it)
After the first quarter, the Grizzlies' bench was silent. Two days ago, they had just lost at the Att Center. Now, in the United Center Arena, there seems to be no hope for victory.
If the opponent is guarded by the opponent in a single quarter, everyone will be hit hard. After one quarter, almost all the Grizzlies players have become "blacksmiths", which will naturally affect the players in terms of confidence.
Link gritted his teeth and felt very uncomfortable. The Grizzlies' offense in the first quarter was very strange. The opportunity was out, but the Bulls could quickly make the opportunity disappear. This was not a problem of poor offense operation, but it was out, but it was not a goal in the end.
Are you going to lose to the Bulls like this? Are you going to lose two consecutive games? Are you going to be pushed under the Bulls for two consecutive seasons?
What a few jokes! When did the Grizzlies become so "soft"?
"Play your energy, guys, the game is not over yet! Unfortunately, we are 13 points behind. Fortunately, we still have enough time. Hey, have you forgotten? Our goal this year is the top four in the Western Conference, and we will get a home advantage in the playoffs! If we work together, there is no hurdle that we can't overcome, right?" Link suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone in the Grizzlies.
Link is not well-qualified in the Grizzlies, but his status is not low. Everyone knows that he is the number one training target for the Grizzlies and the second scoring point for the Grizzlies after Randolph. Even if Guy returns this year, he cannot shake Link's position.
So, Link still has some say.
"Link is right, we can't just surrender. Remember what the Chicago bastard media said? He said we are insignificant! They think that one of the two best teams in the West is insignificant. You can't be looked down upon by those bastards and cheer up! We played like shit in the first quarter, but we still have a chance to wash away the stinky smell!"
Seeing this, Randolph immediately got up to help Link support the scene. Of course, his speech was much more rude.
Seeing that the players gradually regained their vitality, Hollins struck while the iron was hot, "Listen, our ball-holding offense was almost ruined by the Bulls' oppressive defense in the first quarter. In the second quarter, I need you to increase the number of offenses without the ball and increase the number of catches and shots. Link, run actively, we start playing off the ball with you as the main offense point. You feel pretty good today, so you have to shoot more and shoot more."
"Yeah, no problem."
"As for defense, you must be good at keeping people in the target. Ross can't find his teammates in the open. On Ross, Conley, just try to prevent his shots and make up for the baskets inside. Others, be optimistic about their own matchups, don't make up for the defense without authorization!" After Hollins wrote and painted a few strokes, the electronic beep rang.
"Stand with it, if you all think you're defeated, you're really defeated!" After saying this, Hollins pushed the players to the court.
On the other hand, the Bulls players looked very relaxed. Thibodeau even replaced Brewer and let Korver play in the second quarter.
It seems that he wants to continue to increase his firepower and fight the Grizzlies in halftime.
As soon as he saw Korver, Link clenched his fists. He had not forgotten what Korver shot him last season. Although Link finally proved that Korver just felt good and was not unable to defend himself, it was not proven by himself on Korver's head!
After waiting for a whole year, the opportunity finally came!
Thibodeau's substitution invisibly stimulated Link's desire to win
"The game started again, and the Grizzlies attacked first. In the first quarter, the Grizzlies' offense was simply eye-catching. They didn't even play like an NBA-level team. After a short break between the quarters, do you think the Grizzlies' offense will change?"
"It's hard," Kevin Harlan answered his partner, "This is a problem of both parties' ability, and the ability problem cannot be solved by just one break."
However, what made Harlan particularly embarrassed was that as soon as he finished speaking, Link scored a goal. Moreover, he scored a three-pointer!
On the court, Link suddenly became active as soon as he passed the half. He first cut to the basket, but after cutting to the free throw line, he suddenly turned 90 degrees and jumped out of the three-point line!
Korver hurriedly followed, but Randolph, who was hard and black, took advantage of the situation and stopped Korver directly!
Conley immediately delivered the ball, and Link took a calm move before Boozer, who had switched to block the defense!
Receiving and shooting, off-ball attack, this is the current focus of the Grizzlies' offensive. As soon as Link came up, he implemented Hollins' tactics clearly!
With a three-pointer, Link made three fingers and waved his arm hard to finish!
"Uh, if there is a Link game, then the ending is really unsure." Kevin Harlan immediately changed his words. This guy, Link, has created a magical creation.
Wait, create magic?
Well, today, Link will probably let the Chicago people see whether his magic is insignificant.
Although Link scored a goal, the Bulls and Chicago fans still felt it was not painful. They were still 10 points ahead, and this time the Bulls were replaced to attack!
The Bulls are still the old routine. Others move without the ball, and Ross uses his personal ability to break through. Ross scores without assisting defense, and Ross assists with assisting defense. This is Thibodeau's offensive approach.
But this time, when Ross encountered Gasol's blockade in the inside and no one else got a free spot, Ross had to bite the bullet and force himself to layup.
The Grizzlies are always on the side of the outside, and Link even secretly grabs Korver's jersey throughout the whole process. Under the Grizzlies' crazy pressure to defend, their offense ended with Ross' layup!
Link ran forward the moment Rose made a blacksmith. Don't underestimate Link's fast attack awareness. Hill was the one who participated in the whirlwind of Phoenix City.
Randolph made a long pass in the backcourt, and the Grizzlies immediately fought back!
Randolph passed the ball a little harder, and when he was about to make a mistake, Link jumped out of the baseline and sent the ball in the air to Guy who was following the cut!
Guy cut in from the middle with the ball, and everyone thought that this guy with iron head would lean on Lol Deng and forcefully attack the box!
However, after Guy entered the inside, he divided the ball to the right bottom corner. There, Link, who had just saved the ball, had already rushed back to the field and was ready!
"It was a breakthrough pass. Rudy didn't fight alone this time, so he chose to trust his teammates!"
Amid Kevin Harlan's scream, Korver rushed to the outside line as if he was broken up. But Link didn't give him a chance. Once again, Link fired from the three-point line! His shooting felt great, just like when he was warming up!
Link believes that after his unremitting training, his current shooting level may not be better than what Hill originally had.
Korver turned back in horror and saw the desperate scene of the basketball hollow into the net!
As soon as the second quarter came, Link scored two 3 points straight, narrowing the gap to 7 points in one breath!
Late 13 points and 7 points behind are two completely different concepts! Link's personal score instantly increased from 4 points in the first quarter to 10 points!
After scoring the second goal, Link blinked at Korver jokingly. He hit a three-pointer who once shot himself with a three-pointer. Nothing is more exciting than this.
Korver was furious, but it was not written on his face. Instead, he silently said to himself in his heart, "There is no next time, no next time."
Link has always been a scoring player, but this does not mean that he cannot take on the heavy responsibility of scoring.
Today, the Bulls have extremely strict defenses and no one else gets the chance. So, stand up and attack quickly!
After finding confidence and feel with two three-pointers, the next step can begin to dazzle people in Chicago.
Chapter completed!
