053: Fill in the short board

Link's appearance made the Grizzlies reverse the situation instantly. After all, the Raptors are a bottom-sized team. While the bottom-sized team also loses the star Bagnani, so their strength will naturally not be too strong.

With his weak strength itself, Kreza, who has the potential to explode today, was locked down, which undoubtedly made the Raptors worse.

Without Creza, who should the Raptors use to attack? Joey Dorsey? That short center who is the same height as Link and can't do anything except dunk?

Amir Johnson? The pure blue-collar worker who plays fiercely?

Or is it Calderon, who is almost 30 years old and DeRozan, who is only in the second grade?

The Raptors can't even find a reliable offensive point in the Raptors' formation, which is the dilemma they must face now.

So after the first quarter, the Grizzlies went from being 8 points behind at the beginning to being 8 points ahead. Link scored 5 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds, and the data was not amazing, but his successful defense against Creza was the most important reason why the Grizzlies were able to lead.

"I wonder if you have noticed that Link seems to be more aggressive in defense than before. He is now more like a typical Grizzlies player."

During the first quarter, the commentators did not talk about Rudy Guy or Creza, but instead focused their attention on Link.

"Indeed, his pressing against Kreza left the Lithuanians at a loss. Fighting back to back, the main players of the Grizzlies are very tired. I think the substitutes will dominate the game today. Link has set an excellent example."

It is not unreasonable for the commentator to analyze this way. Link ended in the eighth minute of the first quarter today. As a substitute, he did not play the first quarter. This must be because Hollins hopes that he will play at the beginning of the second quarter!

Using the surprises to open the score at the beginning of the second quarter, and then using it to consolidate the advantage, this is definitely what Hollins thinks!

That guy's plan was very clear, and he was to take advantage of this anger to widen the gap in one breath.

Sure enough, after the start of the second quarter, Hollins made the two substitutes become. Rudy Guy sat off the court and took a few breaths, and the arrogant O.J. Mayo also became a "substitute" again.

Tony Allen and Link were played together, and they paired with Conley, Randolph and Gasol Hollins Jr. believe that this lineup is enough to make the Raptors have a good time. After the score difference is widened, they will replace Guy and Mayo with two masters in chaos. Isn’t it easy to win the score?

As soon as Creza saw Link coming back, she became extremely nervous. Link didn't know yet that Creza had become the first NBA player to be afraid of him.

In the first attack of the Raptors, Spanish old defender Calderon was in trouble. Because neither DeRozan nor Creza could get rid of the entanglement between Link and Tony Allen.

Joey and Amir Johnson in the inside are not the kind of person who can play singles at low posts. What's more, the fierce black and white bears defending them.

Calderon wanted to attack by himself, but Mike Conley was not easy to mess with. Among all the No. 1 positions in the league, Xiao Kangli's defense can definitely be ranked in the first tier.

At five positions, five of them are defensive players. Hollins's arrangement of troops does not come as he feels. He has long wanted to try how much power this terrible defensive lineup can burst out.

If this lineup really succeeds, defensive madman Hollins believes that this will allow the Grizzlies to go further in the playoffs!

Well, but the most urgent thing now is to squeeze into the top eight in the Western Conference first and then talk about the playoffs.

As a point guard, the most embarrassing thing is that you can't find someone to pass the ball. Calderon is facing this embarrassment now, and the Grizzlies' lineup is really too ruthless.

In desperation, Calderon had to call the pick-and-roll and planned to do it himself.

Unfortunately, under Conley's tough defense, the Spanish defender's throwing shot came out of the box.

Just as Calderon took action, Link had already run to the frontcourt. Although Hill's athletic ability in the 2009-10 season was not good, he was still much stronger than Kreza.

Link was the first to run to the right corner. Mike Conley received a pass from Randolph and then passed it directly to the backcourt!

"Link, when did he run over!?"

With the yelling of the commentators, Crezza ran wildly. Unfortunately, he could never catch up with the speed of the basketball.

In this way, Clayza watched as Link lifted the basketball at the right bottom corner, jumped, pressed his wrist and tweaked his fingers.

Link's shooting moves are very standard and pleasing to the eye. Under the premise that the movements are good, the shooting rate is also very considerable.

"brush!"

The basketball is hollowed out into the net and doesn't even touch the basket. The Grizzlies have been missing a stable three-pointer, and now they have it.

"A three-pointer in a counterattack, haha, the Grizzlies could not make such an offense in the past. 11 points, the Raptors were 11 points behind the Grizzlies. If the Raptors couldn't get through this hurdle, the game might end early!"

In the first quarter, Kreza only felt Link's power on the defensive end, but now, Link will let Kreza feel what his offense is like.

20 seconds later, the Grizzlies made a comeback. Just now, DeRozan chose to fight Tony Allen alone with the Raptors' offense. I have to say that this is the stupidest decision Link has ever seen.

Sure enough, DeRozan's single offensive method made Tony Allen guess him tightly. Allen contracted all the way and waited for DeRozan to make a layup. Under serious interference, DeRozan's layup hit the box. In this way, the Grizzlies got another scoring opportunity.

This time, Conley hit Gasol Jr. According to the original plan of the Raptors, once the black and white bears get the ball at a low post, they must immediately double-team.

But at this time, Creza could not leave Link and double-team Gasol. He had just experienced how accurate the 3-point gap in No. 0 was.

So, Gasol easily singled Joey Dorsey in the inside. Gasol was 2.16 meters tall, and Dorsey was 2.03 meters tall. When the Spanish center hooked up, Joey Dorsey could only watch.

13 points, the score difference continues to widen.

After that, Randolph also showed his magical powers. Gasol once again took the ball at the low post, and Amir Johnson had to go to assist in defense.

So Gasol, a young man, made a pass to the middle distance with a tacit understanding. Randolph, who was released, made a steady shot in the mid-range shot, and this guy was waiting for this opportunity.

With a 15-point difference, the Raptors were almost crippled.

With one move, Link's appearance made the Raptors' defense messy and made the Grizzlies' offense easier. It was as if the Thunder had Perkins, the inside defense tough guy, took off directly.

Perhaps neither Link nor Perkins are absolutely strong players, but they fill the biggest shortcoming of a team, which is enough to increase the strength of a team a lot. Filling in the team's shortcomings is exactly the greatest value of a role player.

At this time, Jane Triano made a low-level mistake. He did not call a timeout in time, but encouraged the players to seize the next offensive opportunity on the sidelines.

Triano also lost urgently. Although this was his third year in coaching the Raptors, he was still a rookie coach. At the critical moment, Triano seemed not calm enough.

Triano was anxious on the court, but the players on the court were already depressed.

In particular, Kreza, as the striker of the Lithuanian national team and as a quasi-NBA who earns an annual salary of 5 million yuan a year, was defeated by a undraft.

This puts Kreza into deep self-doubt.

This negative state eventually made Krezza take Link out of the three-point line. His shooting was not confusing, and Link has always refused to accept this kind of behavior of sending off.

Link's block against Creza from outside the three-point line put the morale of the Raptors players on the field to the lowest point. Although the ball rights still belong to the Raptors after the block, they did not find any offensive opportunities until the 24-second violation.

"The Raptors must withstand the difference in 15 points! If the Grizzlies continue to open the score, the game will end early! You know, O.j. Mayo and Rudy Guy are still on the bench!"

The commentators were worried about the Raptors, after all, no one liked to comment on a game without any suspense.

After the previous few attacks, the Black and White Bears have already played their momentum. This time, they continue to ask for the ball, intending to disintegrate the Raptors from the inside.

After thinking about it, Crezzath finally decided to double-team according to the tactics!

Unfortunately, Gasol's ball quotient has always been high. He is one of the best centers in the league with the best support ability. Seeing Kreza rushing towards him, he passed the ball to the right corner without thinking.

Over there, Link was ready.

"Damn it, dad!" Kreza had collapsed, and he quickly turned around and rushed over. This is the case with the 3D player. He doesn't seem to have much strength, but he can really drive the defender crazy.

Looking at the horrified expression on Clayza's face, Link did not shoot immediately, but pointed at his feet. It meant: "I want to end you here."

"It's so fucking crazy!" Kreza was completely angered. He did not allow a undraft to offend him so much. Therefore, the Lithuanians rushed towards Link like crazy.

Link completed the move before Creza interfered. Just like before, Link felt extremely hot.

As soon as he threw the basketball out, Creza arrived. Because he rushed too hard, Creza bumped into Link, and the two of them fell to the bench at the same time.

"Doudududududu!" The referee's rapid whistle sounded, and what was even more incredible was that the basketball flying in mid-air was still hollow!

"and one! The goal is effective and he scored four points, and Creza actually gave Link a chance to score four points!"

When he heard that he was called for a foul and Link scored the goal, Kreza immediately got up and told the referee.

The Lithuanian can guarantee that this was definitely the most emotional and exciting night in his career.

Unfortunately, the referee deafened the statement of Crezza. Crezza's move just now was indeed too big. If the referee did not brag about this ball, with the personality of the Grizzlies players, the game would definitely be out of control.

"Hahaha, thank you for my wonderful pass! Very good worker, you are so amazing today!"

Link was still lying in the crooked chairs, but he didn't expect that Mark Gasol was the first to come up to pull his own. A few days ago, Gasol's attitude towards him was always lukewarm.

But after this goal, Link believed that he had completely won Gasol's trust.

After continuing Tony Allen and Randolph, he gained the trust of another general, and Link believed that his Grizzlies' career would be more and more pleasant.

After being pulled up by Randolph and Gasol Jr., Link stood on the free throw line. After adjusting his breathing, he made a steadily free throw due to the desperate interference of Raptors fans.

After scoring a four-pointer, Link widened the gap to 19 points in one go! During this period of mixing with the substitute, the Grizzlies played against the Raptors with an 11-0 offensive climax!

"The Raptors finally paused, they were almost 20 points behind. Can you believe it? When can the Grizzlies, known for their defense, even the climax of offense?"
Chapter completed!
