The Memphis Grizzlies' situation today is not reassuring. After halfway through the first quarter, the Pacers have led the Grizzlies by 6 points.

On the commentary stage, Jeff Van Gundy and Chris Webber from T.nt were constantly teasing, "The composition of the Memphis Grizzlies is so interesting."

"No one wants Zach Randolph, Mayo, who is more arrogant than talented, Guy, who wants to be a superstar, and Gasol, who is tepid little Gasol, see what players are these? If the Grizzlies want to make it into the playoffs, they should add more to their lineup." Seeing that Gasol's shooting was once again out of Hibert, Weber couldn't help but tease.

"Reinforce the lineup? Yes, in fact, the Grizzlies did the same. They brought Link to the Consecko Stadium today. I hope this rookie who signed a 10-day contract with the team can help the Grizzlies get through the difficulties, hahahahaha." Van Gundy's words were somewhat sarcastic.

Last season, the Grizzlies failed to make it to the playoffs. This year, when the lineup has almost not changed, people naturally don’t look forward to how much progress the Grizzlies can make.

A outdated Allen Iverson has been the biggest signing player for the Grizzlies in recent years. The Grizzlies are like the city of Memphis, and are always despised by people.

Just as Weber and Van Gundy were making fun of it, Daniel Granger's mid-range jump shot caught Rudy Guy off guard. The Pacers scored again, and the gap was widened to eight points.

"Damn it!" Lionel Hollins cursed, stood up and called for a stop to play.

If the opponent widens the score difference to 10 points early, it will be quite unfavorable for the Grizzlies. After all, the Grizzlies are a team that is good at defense. If the defense collapses, the game will collapse.

"It's a timeout, and Coach Hollins called to stop the game. But I'm frank, I don't think the Grizzlies can come up with any decent solutions. They have lost three consecutive games in the past three games. The Grizzlies have been in a bad state recently, and I don't think they have the ability to suddenly revive."

Webber shook his head, a bottom team, this is his definition of the Grizzlies.

Link surrounded the game at the moment of the timeout and was very active. Because Hollins said that he could enter the rotation today! And now, it is almost time to rotate.

After Rudy Guy got out of the field, he sat on a stool and asked the staff for towels and Gatorade. But he was absent-minded about Hollins, who was kneeling on one knee and drawing tactics.

o.j. Mayo turned his head around. He scored 6 points in the past half-quarter game, which seemed to make him feel quite good. Anyway, losing has nothing to do with him, because the Grizzlies are a "trash team", so he just needs to get the data.

These main players can turn a blind eye to the head coach's arrangement and be absent-minded, but low-level players like Link can't do this.

Those who often watch NBA know that when every game is suspended, when the head coach is spitting hard and the main players are unsteady, there are always a few guys wearing training jackets, sweat on their foreheads, and playing time is zero minutes to come to the coach, looking diligent.

If they weren't there, half of the coach's arrangements during the timeout would probably be a silence.

Leonane Hollins talked for a long time, but found that Guy didn't seem to care. Every time Guy showed this state, he would turn on the wave-shooting mode. He was lucky and could kill the opponent. But most of the time, the Grizzlies themselves paid the price.

So Hollins suddenly stopped and waved behind him without looking back.

"Link, get ready to play!"

Now, Rudy Guy finally glanced at his head coach. But unfortunately, it was too late.

Link looked at his teammates in surprise, then squeezed from the outermost part of the crowd to Hollins. Guy and Sam Young glared at Link at the same time, but Zach Randolph stood up and saved Link.

"Relax, man. Listen carefully to what the coach said. If you go to the wrong position when you go on the court, I can't spare you." Randolph said, pinching Link's shoulder. On the surface, he was "threatening" Link, but in fact he was telling Guy and Sam Young.

"I'm the one who protects Link."

"Listen to Link, I need you to go against Daniel Granger. I don't ask you to block him completely, but you can't let him take action easily and lure him into the inside. Zach and Mark will help you! Offensively, run as you do during training. If you don't make a three-pointer chance, I will replace you immediately!"

Hollins casually explained to Link, and Link nodded solemnly. In terms of tactical execution, Hollins believed that Link was better than Guy.

The harsh beeps sounded at the scene, and the Pacers fans cheered.

At that moment, Link felt goosebumps all over his body. Although Link had played three games on the Rockets, he had been given the task at critical moments and appeared at garbage time, which was completely different.

He took a deep breath, leaned over and touched the two words "rest, Zick" beside his shoes, and then stepped onto the court!

"Boy, come back!" Link took the first step when he heard the shout of assistant coach Elston Turner. Then, he noticed a burst of laughter from the stands.

"Hmm?" Link turned around in confusion. The moves he had just played should be very handsome?

"What are you doing? I forgot to take off my training coat! Take it off quickly, and then let me relax!"

After hearing Turner said this, Link realized that he had forgotten to take off his training jacket and training pants.

Well, my first appearance with the Grizzlies was a failure.

"Hahahahaha, this is probably the most embarrassing appearance I have ever seen. Link, the Chinese striker who signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies was so nervous that he forgot to take off his training jacket. Coach Lionel Hollins is sure that such a player can really have combat effectiveness?"

Van Gundy and Webber laughed in a sensation on the commentary stage, and Jim O'Brien also smiled playfully on his face on the Pacers bench.

After laughing, Jim O'Brien turned his head and looked at George, "I'm right? He's a guy like him won't have any impact on the game at all!"

Link was also a little embarrassed at first, but as soon as he took off his training jacket and saw the No. 0 on his chest, he immediately calmed down.

When he stepped into the court, his eyes changed. From humility and funny to extremely fierce. 80% of the people in this stadium didn't know who Link was and where he came from.

But as soon as he saw his yellow skin, the impression of "this guy must be very weak" appeared in the minds of the fans.

Daniel Granger thought so too. Today, even Rudy Guy had no choice but to deal with him. Now he has replaced a little-known yellow-skinned rookie, which is useless except to "give experience" to himself.

But Larry Bird, who was sitting in the luxurious box at this time, had a different idea from most people at the scene. He narrowed his eyes and wanted to see Link's performance very much.

Bird is one of the few 20% who knows something about Link. He knows that this No. 0 undraft is not an ordinary person.

"The Grizzlies' offense is still slow-paced, and Conley controls it very steadily. He is indeed a young and mature point guard."

Under Weber's commentary, Conley passed the half. Link immediately started to take action, and he reached the right side of the three-point line to meet Conley.

According to the tactics, Conley hit the ball into Link's hands. Granger did not press Link with her close body, and in his opinion there was no need to do that at all.

Of course, Link couldn't just get the ball and fight Granger alone. At this time, Granger was an All-Star player at the end.

I saw this Chinese No. 0 hang the ball to Randolph who was sitting in the inside, and then cut in without the ball!

"Tsk!" Granger snorted. This kind of cutting is simply too simple. He is next to Link and does not give him room to catch the ball. Sure enough, losing the draft is losing the draft!

However, just as Link stepped into the penalty area, he suddenly ran back and rushed out of the three-point line again! At the same time, Mayo and Conley also began to wander, attracting the Pacers' defensive attention.

Randolph returned the ball to Link, who happened to receive the basketball outside the three-point line and raised it to take action!

"A little trick!" Granger defeated two big steps. He admitted that Link's counter-running was very beautiful. But such an attack could not defeat him.

Granger stretched his long arms and leaped high. Nothing can be more exciting than teaching a rookie a lesson with a big volleyball hat.

However, when Granger was waiting for Link to shoot in the air, what he saw was not the oncoming basketball, but the Chinese No. 0 smiled ghostly on his face.

The last player who saw this kind of smile was Joan Brockman, and he has been beaten by Link.

"Fake shot, Link actually just made a fake shot! He broke through, Granger was thrown away, and the others were restrained again. Link's way to the basket was unobstructed!"

As soon as Van Gundy finished speaking, Link jumped and made a layup. At this time, Roy Hibert rushed over and planned to block the block.

But in the air, Link, whose body became lighter after upgrading, made a pull rod, avoided the cover, and placed the basketball in the frame. Of course, Link's pull rod was not as beautiful as a picture, but practical enough.

The moment the basketball shot was taken, Link was knocked down by Hibert. As soon as Link landed, he heard the referee's whistle.

"The goal is effective, and there is also a penalty. Link won a chance to score a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court! This substitution of coach Hollins was highlighted in the first round!"

After scoring the goal, Link lay on the ground and waved his arms vigorously. After being pulled up by Randov, he gritted his teeth and looked at Hibert.

During the training match, Link used almost the same method to play Randolph. Now, Hibert has become the second big man to suffer losses.

Only then did people realize that this yellow-skinned guy might not seem easy to mess with. He is not a soft man, but a real tough guy!
Chapter completed!
