Roy Hibert covered his head with his hands, very upset, because this was his second foul in the first quarter.

Conventionally, in order to control the number of fouls, the head coach will replace a player after two fouls in the first quarter to avoid the player being troubled by fouls. For center players who need to protect the basket, special attention should be paid to the fouls.

Therefore, while Link was on the free throw line, Roy Hibert was also replaced by Jim O'Brien. This guy, who was nicknamed "Black Yao Ming" by fans, has been well controlled in the half-quarter game, but he didn't expect that he would end up because of a "insignificant" draft pick.

Paul George, who was sitting on the bench, really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. On the one hand, he was surprised by Link's performance. But on the other hand, his own team lost points. However, George can confirm that Hibert will not be the last player to suffer losses on Link.

Seeing Link successfully pulling a layup on Hibert's head and causing a tough foul, the laughing voices in the stands stopped.

This guy who forgot to take off his training suit and looks like he is "fighting the five scumbags" is wilder and more dangerous than everyone expected.

"Damn it, the undrafted!" Pacers coach Jim O'Brien cursed, and then let the white old center Jeff Foster replace Hibert.

At the end of 2010, Yao Ming and O'Neal were both away from the arena. Both of these great beasts withdrew from the battle early due to injuries. Their disappearance also means that the last dusk period of the center has passed. The ancient and glorious position of the center is about to usher in a long dark period.

During this period, the number of center players has dropped sharply, and excellent centers are even more selected from one in a hundred. Therefore, the kind of thing that a team has reserved several excellent centers will no longer happen. Now in this league, it is already thankful that a team has a useful center.

Therefore, after Hibert got off the court, the Pacers' inside gate disappeared instantly. Although Foster, who was substitute Hibert, was experienced, he was old, and could not jump high, and his height and wingspan were not as good as Hibert. The Pacers' frame protection efficiency will definitely be much lower than just now.

In other words, the Grizzlies' offense will become easier from now on. All of this is thanks to the brave Link.

A simple three-pointer may change the game trend!

"I didn't expect that Link actually completed such a beautiful attack." Webber still couldn't believe his eyes. Link's calmness when he avoided the block in the air formed a sharp contrast with the tension before playing.

"Link was a steady scorer, otherwise he wouldn't have scored 52 points in the Development League. But he didn't expect that this guy could actually bring that calmness to the NBA."

Van Gundy became serious and no longer looked at Link from a secular perspective. As Yao Ming’s coach, Van Gundy may be the commentator who knows Asian players best. Most of these players may find it difficult to survive in the NBA, but there are always one or two magical guys who can dominate this arena!

Standing on the free throw line, the Pacers fans tried their best to boo. If they heard such booing in the ordinary draft, their legs would probably start to tremble.

But for Link, these boos would not affect his feel at all. At the free throw line, Link made a soft move. Grant Hill's free throw shooting percentage was still more than 80% during this period. Although it was not like those who had a free throw shooting percentage of 90%, it was also very stable.

He made a free throw and successfully scored three-pointers. Link's appearance helped the Grizzlies narrow the gap to only 5 points left.

Sam Young clenched his fists. The better Link performed, the more pressure he was. Although he was a teammate with Link, he still secretly prayed that Link would not perform well again. It would be even better if he made a mistake or was beaten by Granger.

It seems that Sam Young knows better the principle of acquaintances than George.

But unfortunately, Sam Young's hope was dashed. Because in this round of defense, Link successfully cut off the Pacers' pass!

The Pacers' main control is Darren Collison from UCL. As a star point guard in college, Collison has always been famous for his scoring ability.

Although he is the No. 1 position, his passing and organizational skills are not as good as those of his school teammate Zhu Holiday. This season, Collison has made 2.5 turnovers per game while averaging 5.1 assists per game. During the same period, Holiday also averaged 2.5 turnovers per game, but the number of assists was 1.4 more than Collison.

This time, Collison's pass was a bit too casual. His habit of not being cautious enough in passing was not like a point guard at all.

Collison thought that as long as he handed the ball to Granger, his work would be perfectly over. But in the NBA, it is easy to get into trouble if he passes casually.

Link, who has experience as an experienced basketball player in Grant Hill, easily judged Collison's passing route, and because Collison's passing was too casual, the ball was not fast.

So, Link took a step just right and then straightened his arm. Granger was ready to catch the ball and break through, but Link's palm was the first to cross between basketball and Granger.

After Link made a steal, he advanced with the trend. The Grizzlies, a match that has always been dominated by positional offense, made a rare fast attack!

Of course, with Link's current athletic ability, he could not stage a one-stop dunk. In fast attack, Link relies more on his body, but on his overall view.

After running across the midfield line, Link smashed the ball to the ground before he was caught up by Granger.

The basketball hit the ground and then bounced up hard, impartially, just falling into the hands of the plugged O.j. Mayo.

"A long pass from the ground! Oh my God, is this guy teaching Darren Collison what is the real pass??" Webber opened his mouth wide. He had worked with excellent point guards like Mike Beeby and "White Chocolate" Williams.

He knew very well that such long-distance passes were very difficult to grasp. Even a pure point guard did not dare to pass like this easily.

But as a quasi-forward who is 2.3 meters tall, Link gave such a wonderful pass without hesitation. The most important thing is that the accuracy of the ball pass is very accurate. When Link passed the ball, Mayo was not in the receiving position.

But he predicted in advance that his teammates would definitely run there.

Mayo dunked with both hands after receiving the basketball. This was the first time today, and the Consecco Arena became silent.

Although Mayo was the one who ended the attack, the live camera gave Link a close-up.

Randolph rushed up excitedly and touched Link's head. In the United States, touching other people's heads does not mean disrespect, but intimate actions between good friends.

In addition to Randolph, the Grizzlies' bench was also full of joy. Except for Sam Young and Guy, almost everyone waved towels for Link.

When Link played the NBA2k game in the past, he assisted his teammates to score after stealing, which was the highest increase in teammates' evaluation. Now it seems that this is true.

However, Link soon broke free from the arms of the "big black bear". It was not that he hated Randolph, but that he was afraid that his hair would become like a well-known Argentine basketball player.

"3 points, the gap between the two sides is only 3 points left! A few rounds ago, the Pacers had the opportunity to expand the gap to double digits. But now, the Grizzlies have the opportunity to equalize the score. The only difference is that the Grizzlies replaced Link!"

Van Gundy had become half a Link fan at this time, and he could see that Link was a person who knew how to play basketball.

"The Pacers tried to attack again. I wonder if this time, Granger can break the magical aura of the Chinese Zero."

Of course Granger wanted to break the aura. Rudy Guy was taken away by him, but in the end he lost to a undraft. Where is this happening?

This time, Collison's pass was much more cautious. Link did not rush to grab the ball. He knew very well that there was no difference between robbing and gambling. If you grab it, you would make a profit, but if you can't grab it, you would be beaten by others in one step.

Granger finally got the basketball as he wished, but he didn't notice that Link reached behind him when he was receiving the ball and then made a gesture.

When Randolph saw Link's gesture, he immediately understood it. This guy was very terrified!

Link's position was tilted to Granger's right, and he spread his arms and was full of confidence.

Granger dribbled the ball with his left and right hands, signaling his teammates to pull away. After the space appeared, Granger suddenly accelerated to Link's left!

Link has to admit that the gap between the athletic ability and the Development League at the NBA level is really too big. Granger is a big man of 2.03 meters, but he runs like a defender in the Development League.

Link couldn't keep up with him, but he kept trying to stay by his side and continued to force him to walk to the left.

"Stop wasting your energy!" Granger shouted, and he was about to dunk after taking two steps. He didn't believe that he would not even be able to handle a draft pick.

However, just as Granger's arm was about to exert force, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out and slapped the basketball in Granger's hand away.

"Dong!" When the huge black shadow landed on the ground, Granger even felt the wooden floor trembling.

When I looked up, I saw that it was no one else who blocked Granger, but Zach Randolph!

But although Randolph is fat and plays the fourth position, this guy will not miss it as long as he has the chance! The blocking is not Randolph's specialty, but Randolph is also willing to accept this kind of blocking that comes to his door.

"Defense trap, Daniel Granger fell into the Grizzlies' defensive trap. Link was smart and he deliberately let Granger go to the left because he knew Randolph would help him solve everything."

While Granger was still stunned, Conley had already picked up the blocked basketball and started pushing forward.

Everyone thought he would break through the basket by himself, but he didn't know that just as he reached the three-point line, Conley divided the ball to the right bottom corner. Only then did people realize that Link had quietly ambushed. Granger, who was defending Link, had just crossed the midfield line.

"A chance to shoot a three-pointer. The Grizzlies have not scored three-pointers yet. Can Link help the team open the first record??"

As soon as Van Gundy finished speaking, the basketball fell into the net. For Link, the three-pointers in the open space were as easy as playing a shooting machine.

After scoring the goal, Link raised his right hand high, made three fingers, and then patted No. 0 on his chest.

Meanwhile, the referee whistle sounded. The Pacers were equalized and Jim O'Brien had to shout a stop to the game.

I just don't know, Jim O'Brien remembers what he said before the game.
Chapter completed!
