One Thousand and Fifty-Nine: Pull Out for Military Training!

The Grizzlies' twin towers shocked everyone's jaws. No one could believe that in this small ball era, there are still people playing a retro twin tower lineup.

The most important thing is, it actually succeeded!

Of course, there’s nothing “traditional” about the Grizzlies’ twin towers.

When the Lakers played in the championship twin towers, Gasol's ability to hit mid-range shots was considered to be able to open up the space.

Now, Gasol and Jokic's shooting range can extend beyond the three-point line. Moreover, the hit rate is very stable.

In addition, the two's support ability and low-post singles skills are also very good.

Throughout NBA history, there is almost no such twin-tower combination.

An inside man who can shoot, support, and has skills is what all teams dream of. This kind of center is very rare even in the golden age of center.

All in all, no team has the luxury of having two such centers at the same time.

But the Grizzlies did it.

Of course, a 10-point difference is not a problem for the Warriors. The Grizzlies could quickly close the 11-point gap in the second quarter, and people believe the Warriors can do the same.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether the two giants Jokic and Gasol can play the entire game with sufficient physical strength.

Especially Jokic, the guy with almost no muscle lines does not look like a player with excellent physical fitness.

This game is far from over yet.

After the start of the third quarter, the Grizzlies continued to send out their twin tower lineup. The Warriors did not change their lineup, and Cole refused to increase the height of the lineup!

So far this season, Varejao has only played 6.5 minutes per game, and McGee has only averaged 9.6 minutes per game.

The Warriors' real starting center, Zaza Pachulia, who is out due to injury today, only averages 13.5 minutes per game.

It can be seen that Cole is not a coach who likes to use centers. Rushing to increase the playing time of the fifth position will affect the Warriors' entire system!

Facing a strong opponent like the Grizzlies, Cole didn't dare to change his system rashly.

He would rather gamble on the Warriors' offense than compromise on defense.

In this way, the second half of the battle between the two sides officially began. As soon as he came up, Curry successfully misplaced Jokic and got the opportunity to beat the big one.

Jokic's defensive move is not successful every time. If Conley takes too long to recover after the pick-and-roll, Jokic will have to stay in front of the ball handler.

Therefore, the Warriors are not without opportunities on the offensive end, which is why Cole insists on staying unchanged.

The Warriors' offense is his only hope for a comeback!

If Curry beats Jokic, he will naturally do whatever he wants.

Although Jokic's flexibility is good for the fifth position, it is still incomparable to that of a defender.

Curry faked a sudden retreat and sent Jokic flying two steps away.

After getting rid of Jokic, Curry took a three-point shot and hit the basketball steadily. The showdown between two championship teams is never that simple!

Jokic shook his head. His mobility really couldn't prevent mismatches. All I can say is that we should try our best to avoid this happening.

At this time, Link came up and patted Jokic's butt, "It doesn't matter, I'll fight it back for you. Isn't it just for military training? Who can't do that?"

After saying that, Link ran towards the frontcourt happily.

Jokic stood there and scratched his head, "Military training?"

※※※

Ian, Clark felt that he must have been tricked by God.

He really wants to yell now, "Give me the ball, I want to go home."

Because from the beginning of this game to now, he has never met anyone he can guard against.

In the second quarter, it was Jokic and Gasol, and now, his opponent has become Link again.

"Why..." Clark's eyes were red and he almost cried.

This game is really unlucky for eight lifetimes!

"Oh? The Warriors still changed their strategy. They used Kevin Durant to defend Gasol and Green to defend Jokic! In this way, the Grizzlies Twin Towers can't do whatever they want! Kevin's height and arms There is absolutely no problem in defending the fifth position. If you continue to play hard inside, the efficiency will definitely decrease, but..."

Hubie Brown said and glanced at Clark. Well... if Durant goes to defend the inside, then no one will care about Link's "bomb".

Clark wishing himself well...

Link received a pass from Conley and motioned for everyone to pull away.

Clark's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he couldn't even swallow. This was the first time he swallowed in front of a big man.

"Hey, Clark, do you know what military training is?"

"Ah!?" Clark didn't expect Link to speak to him suddenly, and was a little confused for a moment.

"Military training is to turn left when told to turn left, and turn backward when told to go backward." After saying that, Link suddenly accelerated and headed towards Clark's left hand side.

Clark had to turn left to delay, but as soon as he turned around, Link smoothly changed his body and rushed to the right.

Clark turned to the right again like a puppet. Now, he knew what military training meant.

Clark's second turn was still a step too slow. Link moved away, stopped for a jump shot, and successfully scored the ball!

Cole gritted his teeth. Although he was embarrassed, there was nothing he could do. This was the price he had to pay if he wanted to contain the Twin Towers.

Of course he knew that without Durant's supervision, Link would score very easily.

But Cole just wants to fight Link to see who can kill whom between the Warrior's offense and Link's offense!

But unfortunately, the Warriors' second attack ended in failure.

This time, Curry passed the ball to Thompson for the shot. But Dinwiddie's defense was very active, much better than in last season's Western Conference Finals.

What Dinwiddie improved this past summer wasn't just his three-point shooting.

The versatility this guy originally wrote on the scouting report has begun to show.

"It seems that it won't be long before I won't be able to play in the starting lineup." Wade joked with Joger on the sidelines.

Although it was just a joke, it was proof that Wade recognized Dinwiddie.

The sound of basketball hitting iron was like a heavy hammer hitting Cole's chest. He very much hoped that Link would not score with this attack, but unfortunately, Link let him down again.

This time, the Warriors switched to Klay Thompson to defend immediately.

Indeed, Thompson is an outstanding defensive player in everyone's mind. His biggest characteristic is that he doesn't make mistakes.

Klay's defensive ability is no problem against most players, but just because he doesn't make mistakes, there is no way to limit a superstar.

Link is once again one-on-one with Clay. Ever since the Warriors changed their defensive strategy, Link has been playing in singles!

This shows that the Grizzlies have long anticipated the changes that the Warriors may make. Now, they are going to fight on this point of Link.

Thompson was also a little nervous. Before Durant joined, he and Green defended Link the most.

But every time Thompson and Link faced off, it didn't end well.

Link looked at Thompson with very firm eyes, not even mentally intending to give him any room to breathe.

Link began to dribble with his left and right hands alternately, and Thompson tried to steal it. Of course, he didn't really expect to grab the basketball from Link, but just wanted to disrupt Link's dribbling rhythm.

But Link didn't mess up. Instead, he rushed towards the side where Thompson didn't reach out.

Thompson quickly adjusted his center of gravity, but Link used a beautiful and fast behind-the-back dribble to jump to the left, and another change of direction!

"Damn it!" Clark couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken when he looked at Thompson.

He and Thompson were like puppets, turning wherever Link asked!

After changing again, Link accelerated his breakthrough. As soon as he took a step, he made another forward change of direction!

Thompson turned around to change his center of gravity for the third time in a row, but as soon as he turned around, he discovered that Link was not really going to change direction and break through, but suddenly retreated!

Just like that, Thompson had to turn around and face beyond the three-point line. From the moment Link started dribbling to now, he made Thompson spin in circles...

After admiring Thompson's "ballet", Link retreated to the three-point line and took a shot.

Thompson had no time to interfere at this time and could only watch Link hit a three-pointer!

Easily, Link scored five points in a row! The entire game seemed to have become Link's personal performance.

Cole covered his forehead, Link's personal ability was too strong. Fighting with him offensively... Cole began to lose confidence.

After scoring the goal, Link smiled and opened his arms to Thompson. Except for Durant and Green, no one else even had a chance to restrict Link!

Then, Link stretched out his five fingers and broke off two of them.

Of the five men, he had already taken care of two.

Who wants to be trained by the military next? Come forward!
