Kanter was full of hostility towards Link, but it was useless. He could only watch on the bench first. After all, with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, it was naturally difficult for Kanter, a sophomore.

Speaking of which, although Kanter was the second-tier show last year, he has only had two starts since his career, which is also miserable.

Before the game started, Link deliberately looked at the Jazz bench and showed a playful smile on Kanter.

Kanter's fists were clenched, and his joints turned white because he tried too hard. It was more provocative than provoking people. Kanter was a younger brother in front of Link.

Sometimes Link's expression can make people angry.

Kanter will clean up later, and Link will retract his attention to the court.

The Jazz's starting five tigers are very stable and will basically not be replaced unless they are injured.

The two defenders are "My Bible Pass" Mo Williams and Randy Fery. The forward line is paired by Hayward and Millsap. The center position is standing, with Al Jefferson, who is attacking and defending the weak.

Judging from paper, the Jazz's lineup is actually not bad. If you want to say, they do have the ability to play in the playoffs.

The confidence and expectations of Salt Lake City fans are not groundless, and the Jazz are just 0.5 wins away from the eighth-place Rockets. So even in front of the league, the Jazz must fight to the end.

The referee signaled both sides to prepare, while Link focused his eyes on Gordon Hayward.

Although Kanter is the most terrifying thing, the Jazz's most threatening one is actually this seemingly elegant white striker.

Hayward still has a messy hair, white and clean, and it doesn't match the wild style of NBA.

If this guy doesn't play basketball, he might become an e-sports player. For him, the greatest fun besides basketball is the game.

Hayward is a very simple person, and he treats life like this and basketball like this.

Therefore, even when facing Link, he will focus on the basketball itself.

Stevens sat under the court for some reason. He was inexplicably excited. The two best strikers he had coached had to compete head-on.

The referee whistle sounded, and Gasol Jr. fought for the basketball with his height advantage. Hayward followed Link intently. When Link came into contact with Hayward, Link obviously felt Hayward's progress.

This guy's body is so strong!

When he first entered the league, Hayward was also very thin. But in the past two years, he has successfully gained weight and muscle, and has been able to adapt to NBA-level confrontation.

Link must admit that it is a bit difficult to fight against Hayward. Hayward is not only strong in confrontation, but also not afraid of confrontation.

Anyway, the Jazz are playing team offense and no one needs to stand up. Therefore, Hayward is also very willing to focus all his energy on the defensive end.

Link did not hold the ball in the first leg, but Iguodala used his height advantage to score a goal in front of Randy Fery. But even so, Link could experience Hayward's excellence on the defensive end.

Although the opponent scored a goal, Hayward did not have any expression of annoyance. He immediately turned around and ran to the frontcourt. This guy was in a very stable mood.

Attack, the next thing is the Jazz's strengths.

Mo Williams steadily controlled the ball through the half and handed it over to Millsap outside the three-point line.

Millsap holds the ball at a high position. Although this guy plays the fourth position, he can actually shoot, travel and pass, making him look like a small forward. If it weren't for the slow speed, he might be more suitable to play the third position.

Millsap just received the ball, and Hayward suddenly started and leaned towards Millsap.

Millsap understood and handed over Hayward. The moment he handed the ball to Hayward, he also stepped forward and stopped Link.

Millsap is about the same height as Link, and his size is not much larger, but the cover is really solid!

As a second round pick, Millsap learned everything from Boozer back then. So much so that now, he can do very well in all fields.

After receiving the basketball, Hayward saw Link being blocked, he stopped shooting directly outside the three-point line!

Because the Jazz's attention is not high enough, in everyone's impression, Hayward seems to have always been a basketball shooter.

When he first entered the league, he was indeed the style of an off-ball shooter, but now, it has been no longer the case.

Link raised his hand and rushed forward, but to no avail. Hayward's shot timing was very good, and hesitated, so he did not leave Link with the opportunity to interfere with the shooting.

The next second, the basketball drew a rainbow arc and fell straight into the ball net!

As soon as he came up, Hayward, who was silent, gave Link a warning!

"The ball went in! Hayward scored a goal on Link's head at the beginning! When Irving and Waiters were beaten by Link so hard that they dared not take action, when the number three players were defended by Link were overshadowed by Link, Gordon Hayward proved his determination in an extremely brave manner!"

The local commentators in Salt Lake City are so happy. Indeed, they are all third-year-olds, and Hayward is no longer a player of the same level as Link.

But that guy was brave enough and outstanding enough, that was enough!

Hayward smiled happily after scoring the goal, just like a child who finally made a shot when he was playing basketball when he was a child.

Stevens was extremely relieved to see Hayward remained in the business alliance of NBA.

At the same time, he was also worried about the Grizzlies. It is not difficult to see from the first offense and defense that the Jazz are in very good shape today.

They are well prepared!

"If there is such a ball, just switch defense. That guy takes a quick shot!" Link communicated with Randolph. Link saw the data yesterday. Hayward's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 41.5%, so he dare not let him go easily.

The Grizzlies made their second attack, and this time, Conley still wanted to cooperate with Iguodala.

The most shabby Jazz lineup is this back line, Mo Williams and Randy Fery are both short and easy to be caught and beaten by the opponent.

This time Iguodala deliberately sat in the middle distance and directly rushed Conley to ask for the ball. After receiving the basketball, Iguodala was about to turn around immediately, hoping to cut into the basket with her stronger body.

However, Iguodala felt stuck just halfway around.

Randy Fury stuck Iguodala so that he couldn't turn around! Just when Iguodala was panicking, Fury took it and snatched the basketball!

"Randy Fery completed the steal and the Jazz got a chance to get a quick break!"

Foye's defense is indeed not good, but it is mainly because of his short height and slow speed.

In terms of confrontation, the strong Fery is not afraid of anyone. So just now, he even stuck the extremely strong Iguodala!

The Jazz are very good at fighting, even Fery, who is not good at defending, fights. Facing Iguodala, who is 5 centimeters taller than him but is stronger, Fery is not at all stage frightened.

This spirit is exactly what the Grizzlies are most worried about now. This spirit can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of a team.

Link started to retreat at the moment of Randy Fier's steal. After Fier's steal, he immediately gave the ball to Xiao Mo Mo Williams who was running in the front when he got the ball, but he was experienced and still looked back and looked behind him.

Link is closest to Xiao Mo, but he is almost two positions away.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo confirmed that he was safe. So he took two big steps and prepared to make a layup!

Mo Williams didn't see the fans' surprise expression, otherwise he would definitely give up the decision to layup.

Jazz fans only saw Link approaching Xiao Mo at an incredible speed and then jumped at the same time!

Mo Williams, who was laying, still had no idea that he had become the prey of the "Bear King".

Seeing Link rise higher and higher in the air, many Jazz fans closed their eyes.

"Bang!" The basketball made a loud bang, hitting the rebound and bounced back.

Mo Williams was chased by Link!

"He is definitely the most chasing small forward in the active league!" The commentator stood up excitedly. The nickname, which originally belonged to James and Josh, has now fallen on Link's head.

The audience exclaimed, Link's blocking was too merciless. The Jazz had just experienced the "sweetness" of the round, but Link slapped it back to reality with a palm.

If you want to beat the Memphis Grizzlies, you can't just grit your teeth!

Link got the basketball that rebounded from the rebound and was ready to push with the ball.

But at this moment, a loud roar came from the Jazz bench.

"What's the point of bullying a small man?"

The person who shouted was Kante, and this guy was speaking out for his teammates.

Link ignored it and continued to move forward.
Chapter completed!
