127: 1st and 8th Matches (39/40)

With Battier on the team, the Grizzlies felt as though the team had never changed.

Originally, Thabeet had a normal relationship with the Grizzlies. People don't hate him, but he doesn't really exist. So, without Thabeet, most Grizzlies don't feel anything special.

As for Battier, this guy is always like a veteran in the team. In just one day of training, Battier made the rest of the Grizzlies accustomed to his presence.

It can be said that Battier can adapt quickly to all NBA 0 teams.

It appears that this midterm trade didn't create any turbulence for the Grizzlies, an outcome that both Chris Wallace and Lionel Hollins would undoubtedly have hoped for.

Of course, what makes them happiest is more than that. Seeing that Link was always training with Shane on the training ground, Hollins was undoubtedly more gratified.

Now, in order to simulate the actual combat effect, Shane is no longer satisfied with defending Link one-on-one. He called in Darrell Arthur to help defend on the inside, in order to simulate the closest actual combat effect.

"Remember, Link, the NBA game is not one-on-one. Breaking through your matchup doesn't mean your offense will be successful. The first two times, you have been stopped by Arthur's back-up defense. This time, think carefully and find a way to solve the dilemma."

While defending Link, Shane explained to him. Tony Allen still has some admiration for Shane. This guy trains newcomers one by one.

Link held the ball and made a tentative move, pretending to withdraw his foot, but in fact suddenly breaking through - this is what Link learned from Kobe.

Shane was broken through. First, he didn't really fight, and secondly, Shane's speed was really slow. But even so, Shane still did not let Link go directly to the inside. Shane knew that in order to avoid Arthur's block, Link would definitely make a pull-up jumper.

Sure enough, Link really made a jumper. Battier, who had long expected all of this, reached out and blocked, not blocking the ball, but directly covering his eyes.

Link was a little irritated by Battier, so he shot a little more impatiently. In this way, his offense failed again, and this was Shane's third consecutive round to deflate Link.

"Damn, you've changed again!" Link shook his head, Shane has changed several different defensive strategies to deal with himself. As long as Link can think of a way, Shane will always think of it first.

"That's right, I did change! That's what I'm going to tell you! Today, I have two tricks for defending you. First, keep changing, because if you get the attacker used to your defense, he will immediately Can give a solution. Second, keep the pressure, make it annoying for the scorer to get every point, let him get points, but let him be intermittent, don't let him feel hot!"

After Shane said this, Link reconciled his experience of being defended just now, so he nodded again and again.

What Shane said was also recognized by Tony Allen, who was watching the play. If he taught Link only the simplest and crudest things on the defensive end, then Shane taught Link more complex tactical and psychological things.

Tony Allen couldn't help but sigh just thinking about Link's ability to combine his and Shane's defensive styles in the future.

Just how terrible were Hollins and Wallace trying to make him? superstar?

"Okay guys, let's stop. Take a break, pack up, it's time for us to go!"

At this point, the team coach Hollins blew the whistle, and then shouted. After the training, everyone went to the locker room, and Link was no exception.

It's not that Link doesn't want to practice more today, but the team has to set off after training today and board the plane to San Antonio.

Tomorrow, December 26, the Memphis Grizzlies will play against the San Antonio Spurs, who are now No. 1 in the Western Conference. No. 1 in the West, this label is not something that any team can put on it.

Hollins knew how strong his opponent was, so he didn't dare to slack off.

Tonight, the team will go to San Antonio together and have a good night's rest. At noon the next day, I started to prepare for the game full of energy.

With a team like the Spurs, if you don't adjust yourself to your best, you don't even think about winning.

Link also couldn't wait to set off. As an opponent of the San Antonio Spurs, Link had been waiting for a long time.

If he remembers correctly, the Grizzlies seem to have beaten the Spurs this year.

He was a little worried that it would be embarrassing if history was changed because of his participation. Don't join the Grizzlies because of yourself, and in the end, Black Eight fails. In that case, Link will hate himself to death.

Therefore, Link is eager to see if the Grizzlies with their own can defeat the Spurs, the No. 1 player in the West.

And now, the opportunity has come.

Vic stood solemnly on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on the players who were practicing tactics.

After seeing Richard Jefferson out of position on a defense, Veitch called off practice and roared angrily.

"What are you doing!? What did I say? Stick to him, stick to him! You got him so wide, you know what that means? It means we're going to get a 3-pointer! Don't take chances, the Grizzlies' 3-point shooting rate at the 3 position is not bad at all. Link and Shane, tell me, which of these two people's 3-pointers do you dare to let go!"

Vicky's face flushed with shock, and Richard Jefferson nodded apologetically, "I'll keep an eye out, pop."

Richard Jefferson is also a veteran in the nba. To be honest, he lost his position a little in training. If it was another coach, he might not be angry, let alone in front of everyone. Got scolded.

But that's the San Antonio Spurs, and Vic isn't targeting Jefferson. If Duncan made a mistake, he would also be scolded.

And, most importantly, Vic can't tolerate mistakes at the 3 when he's about to face the Grizzlies.

Because he knows very well that the No. 0 undrafted pick is not a common mess. Others might look down on Link, but not Vicky. After all, Vicky and the Spurs have never been superstitious about the level of a player's draft. There are countless low-level rookies and undrafted picks in the Spurs!

He knows better than anyone that origin and nationality do not represent everything about a player. Take off the tinted glasses, you can see clearly the pros and cons of a player.

And Link, is considered the number one dangerous target for the Grizzlies by Vicky. If his No. 3 makes a mistake, the No. 0 undrafted pick will not be relentless.

The first in the west comes from such caution and meticulousness.

The River Walk is one of the most famous attractions in San Antonio and is known as the No. 1 entertainment destination in Texas.

This tree-lined avenue by the river attracts tourists from all over the world, and even locals frequent it. There are many entertainment venues such as restaurants, shops and bars on both sides of the river. The colorful umbrellas by the river also add a lot of color to the riverside walk. At night, the lanterns on both sides of the trail are even more colorful.

Numerous culturally diverse restaurants, bars and shops of all kinds make this walk a character. In it, you may even think that you are not in the United States, but in some multicultural place in Europe.

The Grizzlies players were idle and bored, so they organized a walk around the riverside trail. In the winter, wrapped in thick clothes and hats, they became their unique disguise.

At this time, a group of Randolph, Tony Allen, Conley and Link were sitting at the entrance of a small bar, enjoying the singing of a folk singer from Europe.

Of course, the four of them were very conscious and still used fruit juice instead of alcohol.

"Look, living in a small city is actually quite pleasant. The hustle and bustle of New York and Los Angeles is not so perfect."

After the singer finished singing, Randolph applauded and sighed with emotion.

"That's because there is at least a riverside walk in San Antonio. If this is in Memphis, you will only be robbed if you come out so late." Tony Allen complained while drinking juice.

At this time, Tony Allen found that Link was watching with a mobile phone as soon as he came out of the hotel. Even in such a fun and beautiful place as the River Walk, Link's attention had never been diverted from his mobile phone.

Tony Allen felt curious, so he leaned his head over to take a look. Just looking at it, Tony Allen almost vomited.

On Link's phone, the latest Spurs game video is playing. And the Spurs video, Hollins has shown the players countless times in the past few days.

The Spurs' ball is not very exciting, it is slow and leisurely, so people are always drowsy. The Grizzlies players have been hypnotized by the success of the Spurs game these days.

"I said Link, stop for a while!" Tony Allen patted Link on the shoulder, he was really afraid that the silly boy would see something wrong.

"Ah? I'm not hungry." Link replied without looking up.

In fact, Link usually would not see this level when watching videos. After all, human energy is limited. Only this time, he really wanted to win the Spurs.

Black Eight Miracles, Link will never allow himself to go to waste.
