082: The game is still taken over

With 4 points, the Bobcats' advantage disappeared instantly. The fans in Time Warner Center Arena became nervous again before they were happy.

Link's appearance immediately made the Grizzlies' mental outlook different, and this lazy giant bear seemed to have signs of standing up again.

Of course, the Bobcats don't want the Grizzlies to stand up again, because from the perspective of hard strength, they are not as good as the Grizzlies. Therefore, all they need to do is continue to suppress and use a more energetic style of play to drag down the tired beast.

Although Stephen Jackson knew Link's strength very well, he would never underestimate the undraft. But to be honest, if Stephen Jackson lost in this game because of a substitute on the other side, Stephen Jackson would not accept it.

Therefore, when the Bobcats attacked again, Stephen Jackson was not so reckless. He was always observing Link's position, and he didn't want to suffer the second time just now.

But when Stephen Jackson was going to distract himself from observing Link, Rudy Gay was very difficult for him.

Link's two goals just now have somewhat boosted the morale of the Grizzlies. Rudy Guy definitely doesn't want to lose to Link. He wants to prove that what Link can do, and he can do it as the star of this team.

Stephen Jackson could clearly feel that the Grizzlies' defensive strength is different! At least, Rudy Gay's defensive strength is different from just now.

Therefore, when he received a pass from D.j. Augustine again, Jackson lost the confidence he had at the beginning.

Guy stared at Jackson with his eyes as if he was eager to eat him alive. He would not allow himself to let a loser show help him wipe his butt. This kind of thing must not happen!

This time, no matter how Stephen Jackson moves or makes fake moves, Guy will stick it hard. Once Rudy Guy defends seriously, his defensive ability is still very strong. After all, this guy's physical condition is there, and as long as his attitude is good, his defense will not be much worse.

Helplessly, Stephen Jackson had to return the ball to Augustine. Augustine called the inside cover and then broke through at a high speed.

But this time, Augustine's layup was ruthlessly blocked by Gasol, who was under the defense. A Spanish center with a height of 2.15 meters blocked a guard who was only 1.83 meters tall, which was simply too easy.

"Augustin is a little too confident. He dares to challenge Gasol's inside line. But speaking of it, the Grizzlies' defense seems to be much tougher than just now."

That's right, Augustine just scored easily in the same way because Gasol and Randolph were too tired to arrive in time.

But now, the fire in everyone's heart of the Grizzlies has been ignited by Link. Seeing a little brother working hard, how can these big brothers fail?

Augustine looked at Gasol in surprise. He had never noticed that the Spaniard was so fierce. Conley received the basketball and the Grizzlies had another chance to fight back.

Although Link, Randolph and Gasol are not the kind of players who can run, Guy and Conley can run.

These two guys formed a 2-on-1 situation in the frontcourt. Conley calmly passed the ball and assisted Guy to easily dunk.

Physical fitness problems will make the shooting rate of Grizzlies players lower, but there is no problem with the shooting rate of the dunk. The probability of dunking basketball without interference in the NBA2k game is greater than that in reality. Because in reality, players will not force themselves if they feel that they cannot complete the dunk.

"2 points, the Bobcats are now only 2 points ahead. Coach Paul Silas finally called for a stop, but I think he should have called for a stop!"

Guy's dunk stopped the game. Although the Bobcats still had a 2-point advantage, they were actually in a passive position. The Grizzlies had already shown momentum.

After the timeout, Link was inevitably touched by his teammates. This time it was not just Randolph, but even Lionel Hollins rubbed Link's head happily, "Well done, you'll get the team back on track!"

Link looked up at the big screen on the scene. He didn't even believe that his appearance turned the situation around. Although he only scored 4 points, he successfully changed the team's mental outlook.

So, data is really not the only criterion for measuring a player's quality.

After the timeout, the Bobcats made some personnel adjustments. At this time, the first quarter game was about to end, and both teams had to substitute.

On the Grizzlies, no one stayed, Link and Tony Allen will lead the second team. On the Bobcats, Paul Silas will leave Stephen Jackson.

The Bobcats' bench depth is very urgent. If they send a full substitute to play, they are afraid they can't play at all. Therefore, Paul Silas had to let the elderly Stephen Jackson continue to play. In fact, since Gerald Wallace was injured this season, Stephen Jackson's playing time has often exceeded 40 minutes.

This is not easy for a 33-year-old veteran.

Now, Stephen Jackson is actually very tired, but he has no choice but to carry the team and continue moving forward. He is a very professional professional player and he does not allow himself to paddle on the court.

As soon as the second team of both sides came up, Stephen Jackson's opponent instantly changed from Guy to Link. In this magical undraft, Jackson finally had the chance to fight with him!

He won't let this guy take over the game, the Bobcats must win the game!

"Both sides have substitutions, and the competition for the first quarter is about to end. The Bobcats must be very depressed. They could have entered the second quarter with a double-digit advantage. But now, they can only pray that they must not fall behind before the end of the first quarter."

In the commentator's joke, Bobcats substitute point guard Sean Livingston came with the ball. Livingston was a high point guard and was originally a high school genius. However, after experiencing a major injury, his abilities in all aspects have declined seriously.

So, even when facing Vasquith, Livingston did not intend to attack by himself.

Now the Bobcats' lineup is only Stephen Jackson, and the others can steal a few goals occasionally, but they really have no power to attack on their positions.

Livingston waited outside the three-point line for a long time, but he didn't get the ball. It was not because he didn't know who to pass it to, but because his passing target had not gained room for the ball.

Stephen Jackson was in a tough battle at this time. Before he could catch the ball, Link was inseparable from him. The 33-year-old Stephen Jackson's speed was hard to describe, and it was not much better than Hill in his late years.

Although the Bobcats also set several unball covers for Stephen Jackson, the quality of the cover was very average.

Livingston dared not pass the ball rashly. He had seen how powerful Link's stealing ability was. His sensitive sense of smell and slender arms made Link a natural interceptor.

In the end, Jackson had to go to Livingston to catch the ball. But in this way, Jackson also fell into a situation where he had to hold the ball and fight Link one-on-one.

Jackson was sweating profusely. He had been playing for a long time and was breathing very badly now. But he couldn't stop, and the entire team's offense was looking up at him.

So Jackson made a three-threat move and broke through directly. But just as he accelerated, Link suddenly blocked forward, giving Jackson a fierce physical confrontation!

Tony Allen on the side laughed. This was his usual defensive skill, and that guy Link was really learning and applying it.

"What!?" Jackson was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this defensive defense was even tougher than Guy!

He also played back to back and then came to Charlotte to play the game immediately. Why is this Chinese not tired at all?

Jackson then tried several breakthroughs but failed. He couldn't believe that No. 0 in front of him was a rookie who lost the election because his judgment on the offensive side was too experienced.

Jackson had to end the attack with a pull-out jump shot. Of course, his shot failed, and Link's interference made Jackson lose all his shooting sights.

This is the first time Stephen Jackson has experienced Link's power. This undrafted candidate will definitely survive in the NBA. No, it's not just about survival, maybe that guy can become a star! Jackson doesn't know anything about other Jackson, but Link at the same time is much better than him when he was 22 years old.

The offense failed, but the war between Stephen Jackson and Link was not over. Next, Jackson was replaced to defend Link.

Link didn't have so many fancy preparations. As soon as he received the basketball, he asked Darrell Arthur to set up covers for himself. In the second team, Link liked to play pick-and-roll with Arthur the most. Because Arthur could open up space outside the three-point line, this would make the offense extremely easy.

This time, after Arthur blocked, he immediately retreated to the three-point line, and the Bobcats had to wait outside the three-point line. Link, who had already broken through, could only be handed over to Stephen Jackson to chase.

But Jackson, who had an old bone, could not catch up with Link. Link made a light throw shot from the back of the free throw line and completed the attack.

Clean, simple, but very practical. Link's attack made Jackson despair. He found that from height to ability, there was nothing better than Link. Maybe his temper was bigger than Link.

"Equalifying! The Grizzlies equalized the score under Link's leadership! Now there is only more than one minute left before the end of the first quarter. If Link continues to work hard, he may even be able to overtake! Who will stop him? The Bobcats cannot let their plan be broken!"

Paul Silas also wanted to ask who could stop Link, but at present, there are only a few people in the Bobcats, and Stephen Jackson is already the strongest defender in the third position.

If even his, I'm afraid

Stephen Jackson worked hard for 12 minutes, but he still couldn't stop Link from taking over the game.

With almost all the Grizzlies playing so badly, Link helped the Grizzlies change their fate against the will of heaven.

In the end, the Grizzlies entered the second quarter with a 2-point advantage. Link then successfully attacked and defended Jackson again, making the Grizzlies officially change from falling behind to leading.

4 of 5 shots, 8 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, Link couldn't find any problem in both data and performance on the court.

Hollins chose to let him take over the game, which was the most correct decision today. After the game, Link took a sip of water. He played the longest in the first quarter, but it seemed that he was the easiest of all Grizzlies players.
