628: I really don't want to fight him one-on-one

Except for the first three-pointer, the Spurs have been in a behind position.

Link's performance was too eye-catching, blocking, stealing, assisting, scoring, nothing he could not do.

Leonard did play a little restrictive role in Link's defense, but it was not enough.

When you face a opponent who can *** your goal where you score, it becomes almost impossible for you to completely limit him.

The Spurs have been trying to catch up with points, but Link's excellent performance has left the Spurs breathless.

During the preseason, Link had already let everyone see his excellent form. However, some people believe that the preseason is not a real game, and Link's performance in the official game is likely to shrink.

But today the situation is just the opposite, and Link performed better than he did in the preseason!

When Link got out of the field, he had already swept away 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, filling the data table. The Spurs were also 6 points behind the Grizzlies with 4 minutes left in the first quarter.

The score difference is not big, but from the scene, the Spurs are not at all. If they continue to play at this pace, it will only be a matter of time before the score difference is widened.

However, seeing Link's fate, **Vic immediately turned his eyes light up. The opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time finally came!

No matter how powerful Link is, he can't let his teammates play like he does!

"Manu, break through and create fouls. The rotation players on the opposite side are just a group of little ghosts, making them pay the price!"

"Dio, more people are looking for opportunities on the outside, open up space, and seize the open shot!"

"Milles! If you make a mistake, you're done!"

**Vicci picked up the tactical board and wrote and painted. He was extremely confident in the depth of the Spurs' bench.

The Grizzlies may have a strong start, but no matter how strong the starter is, they cannot play for 48 minutes. Uh...except Tom Thibodeau's starting lineup.

The Grizzlies' substitute lineup is basically dominated by young people. Delavidova is a rookie or a undrafted draft pick. Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris are not well experienced.

Azeli is not mature in the second grade. However, Tony Allen, who has a deep enough qualification, won the championships in the Celtics and the Grizzlies respectively, can't attack.

So while the Grizzlies exchanged for the full substitute lineup, they tied or even opened the score. This is **Vic's strategy.

On the other hand, Dave Jogel is also nervously setting up tactics. Usually, he rarely sends a full substitute to play. But today is the first game, and Jogel also hopes to test the team's bench depth.

Preseason? Preseason is to restore players to their state and allow the team to adjust the lineup. However, in games that everyone does not play very seriously, it is impossible to test the strength of the team's substitute lineup.

Link sat on the bench and watched Jogel set up his tactics silently. When the pause time ended and the electronic beep sounded again, Link stood up and hugged Jimmy Butler and Harris' necks, one left and one right.

"Well, don't embarrass me. You practice with me for a summer and let the Spurs see your progress. The Spurs must want to gain an advantage in you, tell them not to dream."

After saying that, Link patted Butler and Harris on the shoulders, then returned to the bench and leaned easily on the chair.

"What did you say to them?" Randolph asked curiously.

"Nothing, just tell them to fight like a champion!"

"Ha, then you can't let the Spurs take a breath." Randolph waved his hand, and Link was already starting to truly control the team.

Can't the rest of the Grizzlies fight like Link? Not necessarily.

The game started again, and Link sat on the bench, but the camera still gave him a close-up.

"No one knows what Link said to them. I think the Spurs must be very nervous now. They thought Link could take a breath after they got out, but now Link conveys his will to Butler and Harris. Let's see how the Grizzlies' substitute lineup plays."

**Vic was really nervous. He didn't know what Link and the two guys said. But he knew that Link would definitely not talk nonsense to them.

The game started again, and the Spurs' offensive round. Ginobili cut into the basket with his ghostly move as planned.

The running and jumping ability of "Demon Sword" has never been the top level in the league, but has gained opportunities with excellent insight and elusive moves. So even when you get older, Manu's breakthrough is still sensual.

Under Azelli's interception, Ginobili sideways and avoids the blockade and makes a layup easily.

**Vicci breathed a big sigh, and the goal stabilized the situation. He even doubted whether he was a little nervous. The Spurs had Ginobili on the bench. Even if he was afraid, the Grizzlies were afraid!

Jimmy Butler saw Ginobili scored, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at the bench. Then, he found that Link was frowning and staring at him!

Butler shivered, didn’t it just let Ginobili score a goal? As for it!?

Link's requirements for him were getting higher and higher, and it felt bad to be stared at by the boss all the time. Butler knew that if he didn't return one, his eyes would definitely be following him all the time.

Butler wiped the frightened sweat from his forehead, picked up the basketball and passed by Delavidova, "Della, if you have a chance later, try to pass the ball to me."

"ah?"

"What, otherwise you will be included in the one-on-one fight with Link?"

"Oh... I understand." Delavidova understood instantly. He didn't want to be caught by Link the next day and abused him? Then he would abuse his opponent today.

"The Grizzlies' offense, to be honest, the Grizzlies' second team lacks offensive points. Last season, Vasquis was an excellent breakthrough player and a perfect offensive starting point. But Delavidova, who replaced him... As a undraft, he still has a long way to go. And the others in this lineup may not be able to score steadily. Is Coach Joggel too conservative? Shouldn't he play Nick Young?"

Just as Mike Bryn questioned Jogel's strategy of employing people, Delavidova dribbled the ball through the half.

As soon as Mills was about to press, Delavidova hurriedly handed the ball to Tony Allen, obviously afraid of making mistakes in press.

**Vic almost laughed out loud. There is still a point guard in this world who dare not control the ball?

Tony Allen receives the ball, which is the situation the Spurs hope to see. This summer, Tony Allen renews the contract with the Grizzlies for 20 million in four years, not 40 million in four years. The 20 million less is less offensive.

Tony Allen did not dribble, but instead fought with Jimmy Butler and handed over to cooperate.

**Vicci still didn't care too much. Although Jimmy Butler had scored 20+ points in a single game last season, it was just a flash in the pan.

Jimmy Butler's biggest role is defense. As Mike Brin said, the Grizzlies' lineup seems to have no points.

Jimmy Butler took the basketball from Tony Allen, and the defender turned into Italian Belinelli.

Butler then lowered his center of gravity and began to accelerate!

Although Belinelli was not fast, he was experienced. He quickly retreated and tried hard to block Butler's breakthrough.

Anyway, Butler is not a player with very delicate offensive skills, he is just motivated. If he doesn't let him hit the basket, he will not be threatened.

Belinelli was thinking this way, but Butler suddenly stopped suddenly and then jumped skillfully.

"Emergency stop jump shot?" Belinelli was stunned for a moment before blocking it.

This is not that Belinelli is slow to react, but that he is really not prepared. Last season, Butler's mid-range shooting percentage was a disaster. Apart from the basket and the three-point line, he has no position in his shooting percentage of more than 35%.

I can't even make any open shots well, so I want to stop and jump shot in a hurry?

Butler's offense was indeed not good last season, but this summer, he also sweated.

With the interference that Belinelli was equivalent to not being able to do so, Butler made a continuous move! Fighting Link one-on-one? Forget it!

"brush!"

"The ball went in, and it was from Jimmy Butler's emergency stop jump shot. Hahahaha, butler didn't have this trick last season. This summer, Butler was also a member of Link's training camp. Maybe he was like everyone else, and he had already been reborn!"

Mike Bryn applauded, and Jimmy Butler screamed excitedly on the court.

People think he is excited to score goals, but in fact, he is excited to not have to fight Link one-on-one tomorrow.

**Vicci's face was purple, Jimmy Butler stopped and jumped? He even made a jump shot!? It's so fantasy!

Finally, I saw a sign of overtaking, and then I returned to 6 points.

**Vic then made several gestures, and he signaled Mills to go to Dravidova to fight the undravendow!

Link also lost the draft, but no one believed that the Grizzlies could win the second "Link" in a row.

Delavidova's data in the summer league is also very average, and it looks like a player who has no characteristics and is just used to fill in playing time. If it weren't for the lack of high-quality point guards that the Grizzlies could get in the free agent market this summer, they wouldn't have chosen to sign Delavidova.

It's right to catch such a person and play it correctly. **Vic couldn't accept that the Spurs were also passive during rotation time.

Mills played cover with Bonner as planned. Bonner's three-point shooting range made Azeli crucified outside the three-point line and could not help Delavidova to defend Mills.

Mills broke through with the trend, **Vic thought, it should be done now!

Mills aimed at the basket and prepared to make a layup. Just as he was about to take three steps, he suddenly felt that he was hit by someone.

When I looked down, I saw a crazy "groundhog".

Delavidova chased back desperately and got on his body as soon as possible. Under this powerful confrontation, Mills felt a little unstable in the center of gravity, so he rushed to pass the ball.

But because the pass was too sudden, not only Mills was not ready, but Ginobili, who was receiving the ball, was not ready either.

In this way, the basketball flew out of the bottom line, and Delavidova won the ball with his toughness!

"Foof, foul, can't you see it? Fuck, let that Australian play rugby!" **Vicci was angry. Of course, he couldn't laugh when he saw Delavidova again.

Delavidova's movement just now was indeed very big, but it was in the range of whether it could be blown or not. The referee did not say that it was useless even if **Vic cried out.

The Grizzlies gained the ball, and the Spurs lost the opportunity to narrow the score.

Butler and Delavidova both turned their heads and looked at Link, and found that Link gave them a thumbs up.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and were temporarily safe!

Tobias Harris swallowed, and now the pressure was on him... It’s not that he didn’t want to let the Spurs go, it’s that he really didn’t want to fight Link alone!

**Wich and the referee had no success in a quarrel, and they fell off the tactical board in their hand.

I thought the Grizzlies had only Link, but now **Vic found that the Grizzlies' substitute was not easy to mess with.

This team has been deeply influenced by Link. Even if Link is not present, the other Grizzlies seem to have the shadow of Link.
