At the beginning of the second quarter, after the Grizzlies scored an 11-0 offensive climax, the Toronto Raptors collapsed.

Conley, Tony Allen, Link, Randolph and Gasol have given Lionel Hollins a sense of unlimited potential. Defensive, offensive and three-pointers, this lineup can almost meet Hollins's needs.

Think about it, if the Grizzlies' substitute forward is Sam Young, the team just now would not have been able to play such a tough defense and such an empty attack. So sometimes, whether a player can survive in a team depends not only on his strength, but also on whether he is suitable for this team.

After the 11-0 timeout, Link and Tony Allen were replaced by Guy and Mayo. After all, the latter two are the real Grizzlies.

With the Raptors almost collapsing, Mayo and Guy have used their strong singles skills.

Guy's breakthrough dunk made Creza even more and more obsessed. Mayo's unreasonable jump shot also made Demar DeRozan extremely envious.

After Mayo and Guy's beaten up, the Raptors were already 23 points behind after halftime.

At that time, the entire Air Canada Center stadium was filled with booing from fans. I don’t know whether the fans were booing the Grizzlies or expressing dissatisfaction with the home team.

After the third quarter began, Zach Randolph also began to exert force. He scored 8 points in the first 6 minutes, forcing the Raptors' defense to shrink again.

Link also got two three-point shots, increasing his personal score to 13 points. As a substitute, Link contributed efficient double-digit scoring contributions in almost every game, which undoubtedly gave the commentators a harsh excuse for Link.

After that, the Raptors were forced by the Grizzlies' defense to jump shots from the outside. However, it was difficult to kill the game with just shooting, just with Calderon and Creza.

Since Link played more at the same time as Mayo or Guy in the second half, his mobile phone was not as much as the first half. Therefore, Link focused all his attention on the defensive end. He put everything he learned from Tony Allena this afternoon into practice, allowing the Lithuanians to play a high and low game.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Randolph broke out again, scoring 7 points in a row, completely establishing the victory for the Grizzlies.

Link ended in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, when his personal scoring data was 15 points. The competitor Sam Young was replaced.

However, everyone knew very well that Sam Young was able to play because the game had completely entered garbage time. Link did not play because Hollins needed to ensure the health of the team's main players.

Yes, the team's main player. Now, almost everyone agrees that Link is one of the main rotations of the Grizzlies. From coaches to players, no one will think that there is anything strange about Link taking a break during garbage time.

Sam Young was a little angry, but now, who cares about his opinion?

In this competition with Link, he has completely lost.

In the end, the Grizzlies successfully slaughtered the dragon by 19 points in the away game. Randolph, who scored 37 points and 17 rebounds, became the best in the game. This guy who was once despised by all teams shone in Toronto.

Since he was the best player in this game, the most reporters interviewed Randolph after the game were over.

"Zach, you are undoubtedly the best person in this game today. But if you were asked to choose the second best person, who would you choose?" A reporter started digging pits with malicious intentions. He estimated that Randolph's fearless character would take all the credit for winning the game on himself.

"Zach is the best in the first place, and Zach is the second and third place!" The reporters thought Randolph would answer this.

But in fact, Randolph is already over the age of being arrogant. "If I had to choose, I would choose Link. His appearance gave me a lot of opportunities to play singles easily at low posts, without worrying that someone would double-team up. If someone really double-teamed, you can see his four-pointer today. Of course, the other teammates played as well, and we are an excellent team."

Randolph smiled, while the reporters were stunned.

They really didn't expect that the Chinese No. 0 actually had such an appetite for Randolph.

Like many other places, the NBA is also a place where seniority is emphasized. Even if a top pick like Yao Ming enters the NBA, he has to be responsible for preparing before every training and placed it at the door of his brothers' rooms from door to door.

When Sun Yue was in the Lakers, because his teammates were tempted on the plane, he ran to a fast food restaurant to buy 33 burgers, 20 cups of milkshakes and 20 French fries. At that time, Chinese fans joked online: "Sun Yue was forced to contribute 33+20+20."

However, Link not only hasn't been treated like this in the Grizzlies, but he was even praised by Randolph in person today, which of course shocked the media.

A undrafted draft player has played less than five games with the Grizzlies. How could he win such great respect?

The reporters ignored a problem. After Link played two games with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies immediately went from losing three consecutive games to winning two consecutive games. Moreover, in these two games, Rudy Guy, the star of the Grizzlies, was not very good. This matter is enough to illustrate the problem.

Sometimes, it is so simple to win respect.

Randolph left a surprised reporter and walked towards the player passage. He couldn't wait to celebrate the victory with Link.

However, when Randolph arrived at the entrance of the player passage, he found that Link was as much attention as he was, and he was surrounded by reporters.

Randolph then stopped and smiled terrified. He pulled Little Gasol, and the two of them secretly took two disposable cups, filled the water, and then walked behind Link.

The reporters immediately took a step back when they saw this. Although Link had Grant Hill's basketball experience, his judgment on such things was still a little slower.

When he realized something was wrong, two glasses of cold water had already poured down from his head!

"Hahahahahaha, run, run!"

Randolph let out an exaggerated laughter and ran like a 200-pound child.

Link looked at his soaked No. 0 jersey and shook his head helplessly, but was not angry, but was a little happy.

Because he knew that the big guys in the team had completely accepted him.

As a undraft, if you can win the love of the big guys in the team, it will be enough to determine your future. The team's big brother just says "I don't like so-and-so" to the coach, or does not pass the ball to him on the court, it will be enough to block the NBA career of a bottom-level professional player.

Of course, on the contrary. If they like someone in particular and like passing the ball to him, it will undoubtedly help him consolidate his position faster.

Didn’t Daniel Gibson and Dudley, who were only selected in the second round, finally succeed because they were deeply loved by James and Nash?

Moreover, as a yellow-skinned player, it is even more difficult to be accepted by his teammates. As a time traveler, Link knows how difficult it is for Jeremy Lin in the future. It is not much easier for Chinese Americans to gain a foothold in the NBA than for pure Chinese players.

But now, these problems are solved by the two glasses of water just now.

"Link, you can see that you and your teammates are very excited. You seem to be much smoother in Memphis than in Houston. So, do you think you can get a chance to play this season?" The reporters are not stupid. They can see that Hollins' proportion of using Link is getting bigger and bigger. Now Link is not only playing the third position, but also the second position.

One day, it is not impossible for Link to squeeze Mayo on the bench. After all, before Xavier Henry was injured, Mayo kept playing a substitute for him. It seems that Hollins hopes to let Mayo play a super sixth player role.

Link naturally wanted to play, but he couldn't say so clearly that it would offend people. With his current status in the Grizzlies, he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

"I haven't thought about this problem. I just want to help the team play every game well. And I really want to get the first 20 points of my NBA career as soon as possible, hehe."

Link smiled and looked very immature in front of the camera.? Link hadn't thought about it yet. It was already a victory to be able to enter a stable rotation. After all, half a month ago, he was still in the development league.
Chapter completed!
