The Raptors' "Booking Dumpling" defense made Link feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, facing two front lines with strong athletic capabilities and a high-armed frame guard center, this is tighter than ordinary double-teams.

Link then began to try to pass the ball in double teams, but the effect was not good. It was not that Link's pass was not good, but that after Link passed the ball, his teammates' hit rate was not good.

Conley and Iguodala made the Raptors' double-team more decisive and fierce.

Link was consuming his physical strength violently, but he was unable to narrow the score for the Grizzlies.

After halfway through the first quarter, Jogel had no choice but to replace Iguodala with Nick Young, hoping to help Link out of the three-point line.

However, today, "Yang Shaoxia" seems to be in a state either. As a "defying player", when you enjoy the benefits that Nick Yang brings to the team after the outbreak, you must also accept the negative impact that he has brought to the team when he feels poorly.

The Grizzlies were unable to make a three-pointer today, and Link struggled very hard under the double-team of DeRozan, Guy and Valanciunas.

The situation of the Raptors is exactly the opposite of the Grizzlies. They are very efficient, and even Guy rarely plays high efficiency. Today, DeRozan, Lowry and Guy are very close. Moreover, because of the Grizzlies' poor hit rate, the Raptors have many counterattacks, so most of the shooting choices are more reasonable, so the hit rate is naturally higher.

The Raptors, who had no sense of existence, just put the Federal Express Arena in fear. After a season, even the strongest teams would have a chance to capsize.

Even the omnipotent Bulls in 1996 had suffered losses in the weak team.

It is worth mentioning that the Toronto Raptors, who had just been established at that time, were one of the members who defeated the 96 Bulls. That year, the Raptors only won 21 wins, and one of them defeated "God".

Countless Canadian fans were excited at this time. Perhaps this time, the Raptors could create miracles again just like defeating the Bulls in 1996!

After the first quarter, the Raptors entered the break with an 8-point advantage with an advantage of 28 to 20.

It was undoubtedly a very amazing achievement to beat the Grizzlies by 8 points in one quarter. Just now, the Raptors' last buzzer-beating long shot in the first quarter. If it weren't for Terrence Rose's three-pointer, the Grizzlies would have fallen behind twice.

Guy hugged his two younger brothers' shoulders and smiled very happily. No team cannot be defeated, even if it is the first in the league!

"The Grizzlies played so passively today. They seemed to have collectively forgotten their sights in Indianapolis. Link created many opportunities for others, but they seized too few opportunities."

Hubby Brown is also nervous now. He didn't expect the Raptors to perform so well today.

Indeed, even strong teams will have times when the gutters are capsized. But it would be a pity if the Grizzlies' undefeated golden body is easily destroyed by the Raptors.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' problem is very obvious, that is, the three-point shooting percentage!

As long as the problem of three-point shooting percentage can be solved, the Grizzlies can regain their rhythm. The Raptors played a lot of counterattacks today, most of which were missed by the Grizzlies, allowing the Raptors to get a long rebound and easily counterattack.

So as long as you can make three-pointers, all problems will be solved.

Link sat on the bench and seized every second of the rest. 8 points was a hurdle, and it would be fine if he could get it back in time. But if the score difference continued to be widened, the game would have completely entered the rhythm of the Raptors.

Jogel was also very troubled, and some problems were unsolvable at the tactical level. No matter how good the tactics were, the player would not make the final shot, and even if the great coach came, it would be useless.

The Grizzlies just now had the chance. Link's breakthrough pass created many open shots, but the low shooting percentage did not turn the chance into a scoring.

Jogel also tried Nick Young, Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris and other substitutes, and the effect was very average. Nick Young couldn't pull it up and could not exert its power. As for the latter two, they were not shooters at all.

Now, the Grizzlies have only one last candidate left. But he has not received any chance to play in the previous few games, so if he is sent to the court, there will definitely be risks.

But today, whether he is ready or not, Jogel has to let him try it.

"Mike, you started in the second quarter instead of Iguodala. When Link was double-teamed, I hope you can seize the opportunity!"

After Jogel finished speaking, a white man with long hair stood up and took off his training suit.

He didn't ask or say much. Instead, he silently pressed his legs and jumped around on the spot twice. His every move revealed two words, maturity and profession.

Five years later, we fought for the Federal Express Arena again, everything changed. But the purpose was the same - victory.

After a simple warm-up, Mike Miller turned his head and blinked at Link, "Don't worry, Link, I will try my best to grasp it."

For some reason, Link suddenly felt relieved.

※※※

Mike Miller, a name with few roles in the long history of NBA.

He was the best rookie in the 2000-01 season, the sixth man in the 2005-06 season, and the hero of the Heat's championship in the 2011-12 season.

Even though he was full of honor, many people still didn't have a deep impression of Mike Miller. After all, he was never the protagonist.

When he won the sixth man in the 2005-06 season, the Grizzlies' protagonist was Gasol, who averaged 20+8+4 per game. In the 2006-07 season, Gasol was troubled by injuries and played only 59 games. Miller was ordered to play the role of the core offensive, averaging 18.5 points per game. However, since the Grizzlies failed to enter the playoffs in the end, he still did not receive any recognition or attention, and missed the protagonist's identity here.

By the time he followed the championship in 2012, Miller had already changed from a best rookie to a veteran who was thirty. At that time, he was no longer the backbone of the league.

Although he has never been the protagonist, Mike Miller doesn't care. He may not be the protagonist, but he will be exhausted for the team's victory. He will try his best to seize every three-point opportunity and convert it into the team's advantage.

Until now, Mike Miller is still the player with the most three-point shooting in the history of the Grizzlies, and this is his home court!

However, even Grizzlies fans do not know this record, let alone Raptors players.

When the three-pointers at the Federal Express Arena were back online, they didn't even feel the danger approaching.

"The Grizzlies have replaced Mike Miller, and they obviously want to improve the team's three-point situation. Link played at the beginning of the second quarter, which shows that the Grizzlies are really embarrassed."

Hubby Brown introduced Miller in just a few words. No one believed that a guy who was almost 34 years old and had severely degraded athletic ability could help Link in front of Guy and DeRozan who were flying in the sky and escaped.

But Link didn't think so. He felt inexplicably at ease when Miller blinked at him.

Miller seemed to be the patron saint beside Link. As long as he saw him beside him, Link would not be afraid of being knocked down by his opponent.

Although they haven't been together for a long time and although they were still opponents in the finals last season, it is not difficult for Link to find out how mature Miller is.

On the first day he came to the team, he would bring small gifts to every teammate. He could chat with everyone and get along with everyone. He never slacked off on the training ground because he was a veteran, and even worked as hard as young players.

His unique mature temperament is inexplicably relieved. In the dark, Link always feels that Old Miller is the turning point in this game!

After the second quarter starts, the Grizzlies attack first. The Raptors have the same strategy as in the first quarter.

Guy leads the defense of Link throughout the game, and Valanciunas won't easily stay away from the basket. DeRozan keeps a distance from Miller while guarding against Link's breakthrough.

Once Link accelerates to plunge into the penalty area, the three-person double-team will soon form!

Link did not test with the Raptors any more. In the first round, after he took the basketball, he stumbled into the inside by Randolph's cover.

Guy quickly got rid of the pick-and-roll, stretched his long arms and delayed Link, preventing him from sprinting with all his strength comfortably.

Valanciunas immediately moved to the basket, as if a mountain was blocking the basket.

DeRozan left Miller without hesitation. The Grizzlies didn't have to change a bunch of main players. Why should I be afraid of Mike Miller?

Hubby Brown on the commentary stage closed his eyes and once again he was rudely double-teaming. Link would definitely fall a lot now!

The moment when the encirclement was formed, Link used a hook-like action to pass the basketball from the crowd to outside the three-point line.

Everything is so familiar, double-teaming, passing, empty space... This kind of drama was staged countless times in the first quarter, but most of the time, the ending ended with a blacksmith.

Mike Miller received the basketball and a familiar feeling instantly penetrated his whole body.

Why did he fly from Miami to Memphis? First, it was because the Heat wanted to clear the space, but Miller couldn't keep it. Second, it was because Miller wanted to play at a high level and assist the greatest players!

Before, he thought the greatest player was James. But now, it's Link.

Let me protect you, boy!

Mike Miller took action decisively without even a second of hesitation. His peak period was in Memphis, and the Grizzlies were the team Miller played for the longest time.

Now, it's time to tell the world that the three-pointer of the Federal Express Arena is back!

"Mike Miller made a three-pointer, is there this time? In! Finally, in, Mike Miller killed with one blow! The Grizzlies finally broke their scoring drought, and the Raptors finally paid the price outside the three-point line! Mike Miller played a role as soon as he came on the court. He is worthy of being one of the best shooters in the league!"

Hubby Brown and the fans cheered, cheering for a marginal man on the bench.

After scoring the goal, Miller smiled slightly. This feeling... is so familiar. Five years ago, he did such things in Memphis every day. Now, nothing has changed.

Miller quickly began to retreat. On the way back, he glanced at Link and blinked at Link again.

Link smiled, he knew that Old Miller could be trusted.
Chapter completed!
