In the first quarter, only Gasol, the Grizzlies' five tigers, had a shooting rate of 40%. The other four players' offensive efficiency was very low. The only Gasol, whose shooting rate was 40%, was because he didn't take many shots.

As normal circumstances, the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency is so inefficient, and it's thankful that they don't fall behind the Bobcats twice.

However, the Grizzlies not only did not fall behind double digits, but instead led the Bobcats by 2 points. All of this was because Link, who made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter.

Stephen Jackson sat on the bench and gasped. In the first quarter, Bobcats coach Paul Silas let the 33-year-old veteran play for 12 minutes.

Paul Silas is not a big deal of the main maniac, and not all coaches have the habit of Thibodeau. But there is no way to do anything in the first quarter. If he let Stephen Jackson come off, the Bobcats will probably fall behind more now.

Fortunately, there are only 12 minutes in a basketball game, and the Bobcats can get a chance to breathe. If the NBA is split into the first and second half like the NCAA, Paul Silas is really afraid that the game will be directly beaten.

"We are just two points behind, keep calm!" Silas shouted. As an experienced coach, he knew that the team's first priority now is to stabilize morale.

If the players' emotions collapse, the game will collapse.

"We still have a chance, and we can't disrupt the plan because of temporary backwardness. In the second quarter, we will continue to fight and speed up the offensive rhythm appropriately. I believe you have seen how tired the Grizzlies are, continue to consume them, and let their offensive efficiency continue to decline!" Silas has always believed in one truth. Grabbing the opponent's weaknesses and beating them hard will definitely make the opponent bleed.

Nowadays, the Grizzlies' biggest weakness is physical fitness. Silas knew that the Chinese undraft was full of vitality and performed well. But to be honest, he didn't believe that the Asian could kill the game with his personal ability. As long as he defeated the Grizzlies, no matter how good Link performed, it would be useless.

Silas speculated that at the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies would definitely use routines. At that time, he would speed up the offensive rhythm and strive to open the score. When Link came on the court, he would send Stephen Jackson to deal with him.

Although "Martial Saint" Jackson is old, he is still vicious. Although Jackson was temporarily defeated by Link in the first quarter, Silas believes that under Jackson's tight defense, Link's physical fitness will be exhausted sooner or later.

Paul Silas made his own calculations and pushed his players onto the court after a short break between the festivals. Stephen Jackson sat on the bench with some anxiety. Since he had played for 12 minutes in the first quarter, he could not play immediately. But the more he could not play, the more nervous he felt.

Sure enough, when I saw the Grizzlies in the second quarter, something Stephen Jackson was afraid of really happened.

"The Grizzlies and the Bobcats have personnel adjustments, and the second quarter is completely different from the beginning. On the Grizzlies, Link continued to play, while O.J. Mayo continued to sit on the bench. On the Bobcats, Coach Silas used Matt Carroll to replace Stephen Jackson who had played for 12 minutes."

The commentators were the first to discover the changes in the lineup, and Paul Silas and Stephen Jackson were as surprised as they were.

They didn't expect that Hollins would let Link continue to appear. However, Hollins did not feel too embarrassed when he made this decision, after all, Mayo had already lost his trust.

Link looked at the player opposite with his hands, enjoying the look of horror that came from the other party's eyes. It turned out that making the other party become scared was such an interesting thing.

"The Bobcats were the first to attack, but after the lack of Stephen Jackson, the Bobcats' offense lacked a point. This is very tricky, let's see what the Bobcats will do?"

The commentator at the Time Warner Center Arena was a little worried, and this was indeed the dilemma that Bobcats are facing now.

After missing the "Martial Saint" Jackson, D.J. Augustine had to hand over the ball to Link's counterpart Gerald Henderson Augustine since she was once by Gasol Jr. in the first quarter, she has become much more honest.

Gerald Henderson has various offensive methods. Link knew this guy because before he traveled over, he used this player in the NBA2k game. At that time, he felt that he was very easy and could do anything.

In reality, Henderson at his peak was also a tough guy who averaged 15 points per game. But now Henderson is just a second-grade rookie after all. His first step is very fast, but his intentions are too obvious. Link, who has rich experience, can easily stop him, and his prediction on the defensive end makes Henderson doubt his life.

In desperation, Henderson had to hand the ball back to Augustine. Augustine passed the ball to Matt Carroll who had made an open slot. Carroll averaged only 4.4 points per game this season. If it weren't for Gerald Wallace's injury, he might not have had the opportunity to enter the rotation.

Carol originally had a fleeting three-pointer chance, but when he saw Rudy Guy following him fiercely, the 1.98-meter-high forward guard still admitted his swagger.

Augustine received the ball back speechlessly again, as if everyone was saying to him: "It's all you, don't pass it."

Augustine gritted her teeth and broke through to the inside, and finally missed a layup under heavy interference from the Grizzlies.

Link curled his lips. With the current attack power of the Bobcats, he still wants to beat the Grizzlies? When a team depends on 33-year-old Stephen Jackson to score, it means that the team is already very problematic.

Link went to the frontcourt to participate in the offense slowly. Hollins said that he should keep pace as slow as possible. If the Bobcats want to consume the Grizzlies, they must want to play fast. Then Hollins deliberately played slow.

Guy plays singles with the ball, Matt Carroll is too weak for him. But due to his physical fitness, Guy's mid-range shot is actually solid.

Paul Silas breathed a big sigh, but fortunately the score was not pulled away. But he was complacent and found that the yellow-skinned forward wearing the No. 0 jersey leaped gently and clicked the basketball that had been knocked out of the frame back to the basket.

Randolph and Gasol Jr. got stuck in the position, and Link reaped the benefits. Of course, without a sensitive rebounding sense, Link would never have been able to get such an easy tip-off opportunity.

"The beautiful second offense, Link was just as he wanted today. He had scored 10 points, and he still gave the team an advantage in the overall downturn of the Grizzlies."

Along with the commentary, the live camera gave Henderson a close-up of his face. Henderson looked confused, and he didn't know when Link went in!

As a second-place player, Henderson is not that strong in positioning. The key is that he has never encountered such a match that can grab offensive rebounds.

Paul Silas swallowed, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, maybe his team would become the famous background board for the Chinese boy.

His condition is completely different from the other Grizzlies!

※※※

Stephen Jackson knew before the game that the Chinese boy was definitely not an ordinary person. A person's background cannot define his upper limit. Just like, how could people ever think that he, who was wandering abroad, would become an NBA star who averaged 20 points per game?

But what Jackson also didn't expect was that this Chinese was already so powerful, so powerful that it exceeded his expectations.

Just now, Link played Jackson with a beautiful step-back jump shot and scored successfully. After that goal, Link had already scored the 26th point of the game, which was the Grizzlies' highest individual score today.

Stephen Jackson played in the fifth minute of the second quarter, but it was useless to play again at that time. At that time, Link was already in shape. So he was suppressed by Link until the goal just now, until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

Jackson's slow horizontal movement speed made him more fierce, but his defense was poor. Link's shooting percentage was stable until the fourth quarter and he seemed to never feel tired.

Jackson's defense actually collapsed since the second quarter, and he could only watch Link's score keep rising.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Grizzlies led by 14 points. Although the rest of them were not efficient, Link really taught the Bobcats a good lesson.

At this time, Jackson took the ball to confront Link again, and found that he no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning.

Jackson felt very moved. On the one hand, Jackson felt a little regretful. This guy's talent is obviously not weaker than Lotto Show, so how did he lose the election?

On the other hand, Jackson was a little relieved. He was very happy to see another low-level player who changed his destiny through hard work.

Jackson, who was not focused enough, was eventually stolen by Link. This time, Stephen Jackson, who is known for his profession, did not continue to chase and defend, but sighed.

He completely lost, and the Bobcats completely lost. With the Grizzlies' overall condition, Link saved the Memphis Grizzlies with his personal performance.

Link made a quick break layup and his personal score reached a career high of 28 points!

After this goal, Paul Silas' assistant called to stop the game. As for Silas himself, he could no longer bear to look at the game.

He once thought that a undraft could not threaten the Bobcats' victory.

But now, when the impossible becomes possible, Silas feels ashamed. The difference in 16 points is clear, Silas knows very well that the Bobcats are powerless to make things happen.

He did not lose to the Grizzlies, but to the Chinese.

Link left the court, slapped his teammates with high fives, and then was hugged by Hollins. This time, Link did not struggle, and the feeling of saving the team by his own strength made Link feel extremely happy.
