Wall made a pass mistake, but this still couldn't hide his light today.

With 7 points and 6 assists, only 1 turnover. Judging from the data, Wall is still the best player today. But on the court, something is quietly changing.

After Link assisted Iguodala to dunk, the Grizzlies started their second offense. On the Grizzlies, the defensive intensity can be improved in the second quarter. But for the Wizards, the first quarter was already their best condition.

The Wizards' inside defense is pretty good, Nei Ne and Okafor are both solid low-post defenders. But the two wings are really hard to describe. Temple has just been deducted by Iguodala, and now it's Link's turn.

Every time Link holds the ball today, Webster's nerves will tense up. A scorer of this level is what he is most afraid of to encounter.

Link observed the Wizards' defensive position, Nei Ne and Okafor are ready to assist in defense at any time. So, Link will solve the problem from the outside this time.

Webster raised one hand to cover Link's eyes, but put Link in a few steps. It was obvious that he wanted to lure Link into the defensive trap.

Link followed Webster's intention to reach the middle distance and did several moves to accelerate. Every time he pretended to accelerate, he could see Webster take a nervous step back.

I have to say that Link enjoys playing with Webster. After spending time with Randolph, he becomes bad.

Just when Webster was about to collapse, Link suddenly stopped the ball and took a jump shot. The hand that Webster raised could not interfere with Link.

Webster panicked and took a step forward, but it was too late. Facing Link now, it would be fatal to take another step.

"brush!"

With a crisp sound, basketball was added to the net! Link beat Webster alone, and the goal was easier than training.

It's really easier than training, because Iguodala, Butler and Tony's defense against Link in training is much better than Webster

"The advantage is only 5 points left, and the sleeping Grizzlies finally woke up. Link was torturing Webster's nerves all the time. I think coach Whitman can try it in Ariza." Hubby Brown laughed jokingly. Webster was not enough for Link to play.

Whitman did take action, so he asked Ariza to take off his training suit and go to the technical station to prepare. By the way, he also asked the sixth player Jordan Crawford to report to the technical station.

Another one called Crawford, whose function is indeed similar to that of Crawford in the Clippers, and he gets points from the way up.

However, before the dead ball, coach Whitman's substitution would not work.

On the court, Wall was still patiently organizing the offense. Stevens crossed his legs under the court. As he expected, after the Grizzlies strengthened their defense, the Wizards had no chance of attacking.

Wall and Okafor continued to play pick-and-roll, but this time Wall did not rush to the frame by himself, but handed the ball to Okafor who cut in the basket.

If it were five or six years ago, Okafor might have made two big strides to the box now, but since Okafor experienced a knee injury in the 11-12 season, his athletic ability has dropped significantly.

After receiving the ball, Okafor had just run two steps before being blocked by Randolph. Okafor was forced to stop the ball, and the Wizards' offense was cut off!

Wall hurriedly ran and prepared to pick up Okafor. But Conley was on Wall's receiving route, and Okafor could not pass it.

In the end, Okafor was blown up for three seconds to attack. This former league star, now a veteran who is in his 30s, covered his head with his hands in annoyance.

There is no man to pass the ball, so Okafor is really seldom experienced in this kind of defense!

"The second mistake in a row, hey. The Wizards can't score anymore, and the whole momentum will be reversed by the Grizzlies. Whitman called a timeout, but he didn't call it a timeout? The Wizards' offense has obviously stopped."

Hubby Brown felt sorry for the Wizards on the surface, but his face was filled with a smug smile. His partner shook his head. Although the old man was as neutral as possible, the truth was written on his face.

When the Grizzlies attacked for the third time, Link simply asked for the ball from the middle distance. When he played Webster, Link could be said to be as good as he wanted.

Webster's back defense was really not good. Link didn't even feel the pressure after holding the ball, so he pushed back suddenly.

Sure enough, this time, the force made Webster take a big step back. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Webster was bounced away, Link turned over and jumped back.

Relaxed and enjoyable!

"Link won the fourth point in the second quarter in a row, and the Wizards requested a timeout!"

"Our defense is too bad, too bad! Aggressive, what about your aggressiveness in the first quarter! John, if other people don't have a chance, you can attack the opponent's defense by yourself! If you don't tear their defense open, others will never have a chance!" Whitman was very excited and more anxious than the players. It can be seen that he didn't want the cooked duck to fly like this.

"Ariza, watch Link die after you come on the court, don't give him a chance to breathe! Jordan Crawford, score, score! We are only 3 points ahead. If the Grizzlies overtake the score, the situation will no longer be under our control!"

Whitman was dancing there, while Stevens was very calm here.

"They were defeated in the second quarter, and there was no reason to give them any chance."

The timeout ended very quickly. The Wizards had just played a few rounds in the second quarter and were the first to substitution. Ariza stood in front of Link, while Jordan Crawford was eager to try.

Jordan Crawford and Whitman have high expectations for him. As a substitute, he averaged 13.2 points per game. Moreover, he often made a move at critical moments.

A week ago, in the Wizards' match against the Trail Blazers, the Wizards defeated their opponent with Crawford's three-pointer.

A little further, in mid-December, Crawford scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the game, scoring a triple-double to help the Wizards defeat the Hawks.

Among the few 11 wins of the Wizards, Crawford probably won half of them.

So, after returning from the timeout, Wall cooperated very well to hand the ball to Crawford. But facing Iguodala, Crawford's shaking didn't seem to work very well.

Although they are all called Crawford, the Wizards' Crawford is not related to the Clippers' Crawford, and the ball control skills are very different. If Jamal Crawford is compared to Iverson, then Crawford is at most Tyron Lu.

Jordan Crawford tried to break through after shaking, but the moment he collided with Iguodala, he dropped the ball.

The ability to confrontation is much worse!

Iguodala saw the opportunity and reached out to get the ball, and Jordan Crawford lost control. Randy Whitman covered his forehead. His greatest hope gave him the greatest disappointment as soon as he came.

Then, the Wizards' defense fell into a stagnant pool. Wall was timid in the fight, and Jordan Crawford dared to shoot, but he didn't dare to enter. Nei Ne and Okafor were forced to play singles several times at the low post, but the effect was not good.

One of the most common moves Randy Whitman did in this quarter was to cover his head with both hands. Watching the Grizzlies go from falling behind to tying, and then slightly widening the gap, Whitman was wondering if he was coaching a basketball team.

Because for a long time, the Wizards couldn't score a goal!

Finally, when Wall finally broke the scoring drought with a free throw, Hubby Brown said the specific time, "The Wizards did not score a single point in the past 7 minutes and 44 seconds! Now, Wall has finally broken this embarrassment."

7 minutes and 44 seconds, which was an extremely long and dark 7 minutes and 44 seconds for Whitman. So much so that when the pause time came, he didn't know what to arrange.

Whitman just looked up and found that the Wizards were 13 points behind. He looked at Wall again. The 10-year No. 1 pick no matter how sharp he was at the beginning of the game, and the data was stopped at 7 points and 6 rebounds, and it had not risen for a long time.

Everyone's eyes were staring at Whitman, and Whitman could only stand up with a thorn in his teeth.
Chapter completed!
