081: Most dynamic Grizzlies player

Hollins pulled Link to his side, then gathered everyone else and began writing and drawing on the tactical board.

At the beginning, Hollins' tactics were still the same as defense. As a former defensive gate, Hollins was indeed quite obsessed with defense. But the further down the line, Link found that Hollins' tactics became more wrong.

Because when setting up an attack, Link was surprised to find that Hollins had specially arranged a lot of offensive tactics for himself! In the next game, Hollins wanted to use Link as the main attack point to attack!

In the past, Link had an experience of attacking as a main offensive point. But at that time, he was actually a pseudo-offensive point. In other words, after attracting the opponent's defensive attention, he had to hand over the offensive power immediately. To put it bluntly, he was just a bait.

But this time, according to Hollins' meaning, Link's mission is no longer to be a bait, but to take on the Grizzlies' offense seriously.

Link couldn't help swallowing. Although he knew that his mission was not only to be a role player, he did not expect that he would have to take such a great responsibility so early.

Just a month ago, he could only play in garbage time on the Rockets. And now, Hollins actually wants him to take the lead? Thinking about it, it's really exciting!

"Everyone, try to cooperate with Link. I know you are tired, but this is the NBA game. If you want to enter the playoffs, you have to pay some price! No team can succeed easily!" After Hollins said that, he patted Link on the shoulder.

In fact, he was helpless in doing this. In just 6 minutes, the five Grizzlies had undoubtedly revealed their fatigue. This is not a problem of state, but a pure physical fitness reason. A player's condition may have ups and downs in a game. But physical fitness will never be able to recover quickly.

He just lost to the Thunder in the last game, and Hollins didn't want the team to lose in a row. If that were the case, the Hornets would definitely take the opportunity to widen the gap, and the Rockets behind him would also catch up.

Therefore, today he doesn't want to give up just like that. Even if he just tries, he has to make changes.

The electronic beeps sounded and the pause ended. Cheers burst out in the Time Warner Center Arena. The attendance rate of this are worrying all year round, but it is very active today. Because Charlotte fans have not seen such a refreshing game for a long time.

o.j. Mayo sat on the bench in disgrace and was replaced by Link again, which made Mayo very unhappy. Seeing his position in the team decline little by little, Mayo felt very depressed.

"After the timeout, the Grizzlies took the lead in making personnel adjustments. Coach Hollins replaced O.J. Mayo, who was sleepwalking like a sleepwalking striker again. The Chinese striker appeared in the second position. It turned out that Link was able to swing between the forward line and the back line. There is no doubt that the purpose of Coach Hollins replaced Link was to strengthen the offense."

In the commentator's seat, the commentators saw the purpose of Hollins' substitution. But they thought that Link was just playing as an auxiliary offensive point, and the real main attacker should be Guy and Randolph.

In fact, it was not just commentators, but even the Bobcats players thought so. Seeing Link appearing, Stephen Jackson didn't care much. He still focused on Guy, and he believed that the task of No. 0 was to attract defensive attention. Therefore, Jackson refused to let the Grizzlies succeed.

In this way, the Grizzlies started their first offense. Link was a little nervous. After all, Hollins did not intend to let Link be the focus of the offense in advance. He was caught up with the ducks being kicked on the shelves.

But this is what NBA is. You have to be prepared at any time because you don’t know when the opportunity will appear. There is a saying that although it is very cliché, it really makes sense that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Link tried hard to calm himself down, and then began running according to Hollins' tactics.

After Conley stopped outside the three-point line, Link immediately went to provide a cover for Conley. A cover between a defender and a defender is very rare. D.j. Augustine, who has weak defensive ability, could not bypass the cover at the first time, so the Bobcats' second position Gerald Henderson immediately changed defense. Suddenly, a misalignment was formed.

Link looked at Augustine in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so fucking short!"

Before crossing, the height of 1.83 meters was enough to make Link envious. But now, Augustine, who is 1.83 meters tall, looks like a dwarf in front of him.

Everyone thought Conley would take the ball, but he didn't know that after the switch, Conley directly handed the ball back to Link.

Link, who is 2.03 meters tall, singles against Augustine, who is 1.83 meters tall, the Bobcats are fooled!

The Grizzlies' tactics ended here, and the shift has been completed. Next, it is time to test Link's personal ability. If he can't beat this misplaced, he will definitely be very embarrassed.

Link did not play those fancy bells and whistles with Augustine. After holding the ball, he directly leaned on Augustine and sat back step by step.

Augustine is not only short, but also weighs only 81 kilograms. Unlike the "Strongest 175 on the Surface" that was popular in the league in the future, Augustine's core strength is not that strong.

Facing Link's back hit, he could only retreat step by step. If it weren't for the league's rule of back hitting for 5 seconds, Link could have pushed all the way to the basket.

After pushing to the middle distance, Link suddenly turned back and took a jump shot!

Link's sudden withdrawal made Augustine unable to react. When he sealed it, nothing would be helpful. Link's back turned and turned jump shot could have avoided defense well, not to mention that Augustine's height of 1.83 meters is really impossible to pose a threat to Link.

Link's shooting was completely undisturbed. The basketball drew a very high arc and fell into the net in the astonished eyes of everyone!

"The ball has entered, beautiful singles! Have you seen it? Link has shown his superb back-playing skills more than once. This guy is very comprehensive, don't underestimate his singles ability. Link has many things in his arsenal!"

The commentators smiled and Link always brought surprises. His goal allowed the Grizzlies to narrow the gap to 6 points. Hollins waved his arm happily. Once Link came on the court, he always had an immediate effect.

After the ball entered, Augustine spread his hands helplessly at his teammates. He had tried his best, but he was unable to put his physical condition here.

Others didn't care too much, after all, Link only scored one goal, which doesn't mean anything. But Stephen Jackson became alert. The boy's appearance at this time was probably not just to attract defensive attention.

Link was not complacent after scoring the goal because he knew that scoring alone was useless. If you want to recover the difference, you have to let others not score.

Today, the two best performers on the offensive end of the Bobcats are Stephen Jackson and Augustine. Although they are short, they have accurate shooting and flexible layups. Let’s not talk about Stephen Jackson. As a player who averaged 21 points per game last season, his offensive ability is not weak.

This time, Augustine didn't hesitate too much and hit Jackson just after halftime.

Jackson made a fake shooting move with the ball, tricked Guy's center of gravity slightly, and then broke through with the ball!

"Damn it!" Guy gritted his teeth. He didn't expect Jackson to be a fake vote. If it were normal, he might be able to remedy it. But now, Guy only felt that his legs were filled with lead and could not even lift them up.

Stephen Jackson also felt that Guy's legs and feet were not very straight today, so he dared to make breakthroughs frequently.

The elderly Jackson just ran out and threw away Guy. Then he suddenly stopped in the middle distance, and the guy planned to end the attack with his best stop jump shot!

Jackson was very confident that he was sure to do this game!

Just as Jackson was about to take action, a black shadow rose into the air. The person who came straightened his arm, and Jackson felt a light in front of him.

"Damn!" Jackson knew that his shooting space had been completely blocked. What's even more terrible is that he could not turn a shot into a pass now because while he couldn't see the basket, he was also covered in such a way that he couldn't see his teammate's position.

Jackson was still wondering, he had already thrown away Guy just now! But when he looked down, he saw the huge No. 0. It was not Guy, but the undraft!

"Damn!" Jackson shouted, and then forced his move.

"Bang!" The shot hit and Stephen Jackson failed in the offense!

"Link's backup defense is too timely, the timing is right! Jackson missed, Randolph protected the rebound, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!"

Randolph handed the basketball to Conley, and Conley gave the ball to Link. After interfering with Stephen Jackson, Link ran forward immediately.

The match against Link is Gerald Henderson. Although the defender produced by Duke is not a superstar, his defensive ability is very impressive.

However, Link was not afraid of Gerald Henderson. He forced the opponent to fight until that year and forced a layup!

Link's ability to make layups is now very strong, which is related to his training day and night. If Link wants to become stronger, he not only has the ability to fill the little white bars. Through his own efforts, Link can also improve himself.

What surprised Henderson the most was that Link was full of energy and full of energy. It can be said that Link was the most energetic player of the Grizzlies today. It was like they were playing back to back, but Link was resting for a week.

In the fierce confrontation, Link made a layup. It was already a blessing in disguise that Henderson was not called a foul.

After scoring the goal, Link hammered his chest hard, and then pointed at Conley who assisted him as a show of gratitude.

"Scored two goals in a row, Link's appearance saved the situation of the Grizzlies. Now, the gap between the two sides is only 4 points left. The Bobcats have not stopped and the game will continue!"

Seeing Link scored a tough goal, Stephen Jackson finally felt something was wrong.
Chapter completed!
