051: Teacher Tony

Although the Grizzlies will play back-to-back away tonight, Tony Allen and Link are both the kind of people who do it at the same time. So when they adapted to the venue at the Air Canada Center Stadium in the afternoon, Tony Allen and Link couldn't wait to practice.

The scene of Link fighting Tony Allen on the basketball court attracted many Grizzlies players to join in the fun. In the Grizzlies, even for entertainment, no one would choose to go one-on-one with Tony Allen, because that was tantamount to asking for trouble.

As we all know, Kobe Bryant is a very stubborn super scorer, and he is almost unwilling to accept anyone. However, in an interview, a reporter asked Kobe who was the best defensive player he had ever experienced, but Kobe said Tony Allen's name without hesitation.

A defensive expert who is admired by "Black Mamba", naturally no one wants to touch him.

Of course, Link doesn't expect that he, who has not yet fully developed his athletic ability, can defeat Tony Allen. He and Tony Allen's single fight are actually one of the methods of Tony Allen's teaching.

According to Tony Allen, “You need to feel what it feels like to be defended by me before you can know how to transfer this feeling to others.”

"Come on, man, don't be polite. We don't play American singles, so the rule is so stupid that we can only dribble three times. Because if we only dribble three times, no one can pass me." In front of Link, Tony Allen was very confident.

He admires Link, who has comprehensive abilities, high basketball IQ, no greed for me, no craving for money, no sloppy shots. But among these praises, it is not said that Link is a super scorer. Tony Allen will naturally not be afraid of a player whose scoring ability is only much better than the league average.

Link started dribbling with his left and right hands. Although Grant Hill had more offenses without the ball in his twilight years, Hill was an absolute super single player when he was young. Therefore, his dribbling skills were still very mature.

After a few swings from side to side, Link suddenly broke through to Tony Allen's right! Of course, Link didn't expect him to pass Tony Allen in one step, Grant Hill at his peak claimed to have the fastest first step in the league, but now he is not at Hill's peak.

Link deliberately broke through to the right, and if Tony Allen followed the right, he would turn left.

This move has been tried and done by Link when dealing with others. Whether it is Joan Brockman of the Blues or his "good teammate" Sam Young of the Grizzlies, they have been fooled by Link like this.

Tony Allen reacted the moment Link turned around. He had already seen through Link's tricks. Then, Tony Allen thrust his chest suddenly, "Bang!"

The sound of muscle collision between the two resounded throughout the audience. Just as Link turned around and was knocked back to the outside of the three-point line. Because Tony Allen's confrontation was very tough and very suddenly, Link, who was unprepared, staggered a few steps.

Just when Link's center of gravity was unstable, Tony Allen seized the opportunity and stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and the basketball was ruthlessly snatched away.

"Huhuhuhu" just fought against Tony Allen for one round, and Link couldn't help but breathe heavily.

"How is it? How do you feel? Do you find out the difference between my defense and your defense?"

"Aggressive, you're really a thief against time, Tony." With Hill's basketball IQ and four years of college basketball training, Link found Tony Allen's difference with himself in just one round.

Now Link is more about defending by relying on his slender arms than Hill and Hill's rich experience. To put it bluntly, he has no way to deal with offensive players, he just depends on his feelings.

But Tony Allen is different. He has very accurate grasp of the opportunity of when to fight and when to release strength.

Confrontation at the moment the opponent turns will undoubtedly make the offensive players unstable in the center of gravity. Giving enough aggressiveness can also ensure that the opponent can consume enough.

"Yes, aggressiveness and confrontation timing are the two things you need to improve now. Your defensive prediction ability is good, but it is a bit soft. If the opponent breaks through you, you will not compete with him. Your aggressiveness is not enough, and you are too academic. Of course, aggressiveness cannot be too far, and it will become a foul. Therefore, the confrontation timing must be accurate."

Tony Allen said, walking to Link with the basketball, pretending to attack, and then explaining himself.

"First of all, pay attention to the referee's standards. Each coach's standards are different. You have to judge how intense the confrontation can be used based on his standards. Then, at the moment when the opponent turns around and is ready to accelerate or change direction, you must give the confrontation, and you cannot let him complete the movement! If he completes the movement and starts to break through smoothly, it will be too late for you to give the confrontation."

Tony Allen spoke, while Link studied modestly. Randolph, who was standing on the sidelines, grinned, "What am I talking about? He is a good guy. With him, we might be able to make it to the playoffs this year."

As for Sam Young, he originally saw Link's joke at first, but unexpectedly, this guy actually got the true teaching of Tony Allen.

Sam Young suddenly felt that his position in the team was becoming increasingly unstable.

Link was naturally very happy. Sure enough, he could only eat meat when he went to school with a shameless attitude. If he was embarrassed to ask today, he would naturally not teach you these things.

It's great to have a teacher Tony who doesn't have a hairstyle.

※※※

Since there was still a game tonight, Link and Tony Allen's one-on-one ended in just a few rounds. In order to have a place in the playoffs, they had to leave their strength to their real enemies.

Today, the Grizzlies' opponent is the Toronto Raptors, who are also "animal systems".

When Link came through, the Raptors were playing in the Eastern Conference Finals. He didn't know whether the Raptors finally reached the finals and whether they won the championship. But he knew very well that it could be said to be the peak of the Raptors' history.

But back to the present in 2010, the Toronto Raptors are an absolute garbage team, the kind that needs to be as trash as they are.

Until now, the Raptors have only 10 wins and 19 losses, which is three fewer than the Grizzlies who just ended their three-game losing streak.

This season, the Raptors have just left the "Dragon King" Bosh, with the team taking the No. 2006 No. 1 pick and Italian forward Andrea Bagnani as the core.

However, as a 2.13-meter-long man, Bagnani's defense and rebounding are really eye-catching. If you say that his offense is good, his efficiency is actually average. At the beginning, the Raptors wanted to train him to be the second Nowitzki, but this guy is at most a poor version of the Silverhorn King.

The most terrible thing is that Bagnani is often injured every few days. Today, the Italian No. 1 pick can only sit on the bench and watch his teammates fight with the Grizzlies.

According to Hollins' original plan, the Grizzlies should be able to easily win the Raptors without Bagnany today and welcome two consecutive victories. But at the beginning of the game, it was beyond Hollins' expectations.

"Linas Kreza made a mid-range shot, Rudy Guy let him go too far! bang! Hit again, Kreza, this is already the third goal he made in this game!"

Accompanied by the commentator's shouting, the unknown Lithuanian striker Linas Kreza cheered. He felt hot today, and even Rudy Guy had no choice but to do anything to him.

Guy shook his head, a little unwilling. He played 40 minutes in the last game, and immediately hit back to back again today. He felt a little overwhelmed in terms of physical fitness. He could keep his focus on the offensive end, but he really didn't have much extra energy to put on the defensive end.

I thought this unknown Lithuanian would not cause too much trouble for him, but I didn't expect that this guy scored three goals in a row when he got the chance!

So far, the Raptors have scored a 16-8 start. Among these 16 points, 14 points came from Calderon and Creza!

Hollins immediately called a timeout, and Rudy Guy was about to become the opponent's ATM. He had to send someone to assist Guy so that Guy could attack with peace of mind on the court.

Let O.j. Mayo assist in defense? Come on, thank goodness that guy Mayo can watch his own people. Where is Tony Allen? Hollins believes that Tony Allen can lock Creza, but the Grizzlies are now 8 points behind, so they cannot lack offensive points.

So Hollins's eyes fell on the No. 0 Chinese again.

"Link, go up and play the second position. The Lithuanian will give it to you. I don't want to see him score easily again! Rudy, the pressure of defense has been eliminated. I hope you can repay me on the offensive end."

Hollins gritted his teeth and decided to let Link go to the second position to try the waters.

Link stood up excitedly, and Tony Allen, who was beside him, gave him a thumbs up.

"Review what I told you this afternoon, boy."
