One Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Don't Be Afraid of Being Targeted (Forty/Forty)

The San Antonio Spurs, ever since they drafted Tim Duncan in 1997, have been an evergreen in the West. During this period, they won 4 championships, and they have remained among the top teams in the Western Conference. They are the kind of seemingly unremarkable existences that can often make those popular teams soar.

Until this year, Duncan is 5 years old, Ginobili is 4 years old, Parker is almost 0, and Vic is 62 years old, the Spurs are still one of the strongest teams in the West. The Spurs have only lost 10 games so far in the regular season. Their 48-10 record also keeps this team at the top of the Western Conference standings!

In the face of opponents of this level, the Grizzlies have not dared to slack off from top to bottom. They arrived at the att center early today to prepare for the night's game.

Among them, the most serious is undoubtedly Link. He was unsmiling today, and several times Randolph joked with Link, but he was cold with his own smile.

"What happened to that guy today? If he has a grudge against the Rockets, does he have a grudge against all Texas teams?" On the court, Randolph complained as he looked at Link, who was practicing spot-up shooting.

"God knows what's going on, he hasn't been normal since yesterday. When we were at the Riverside Trail yesterday, he was watching the Spurs game tape! God, I'm just bored and don't want to watch the Spurs. Team game footage." Tony Allen echoed.

"Tell me, is that kid broken in love? I bought him two boxes of sports protective gear during the All-Star Game, and I put them in his bag very thoughtfully. I don't know if he will use it or not."

As soon as Randolph finished speaking, Link cast a glance. Those two idiots don't know how to speak ill of others in a low voice.

"Zach, aren't you afraid of Tim Duncan kicking your ass?" Link countered.

"Afraid? Don't underestimate Uncle Zach, I'm better than Kg!"

"Zach Randolph's post-up, Duncan never leaves, he's rock solid! Randolph rolls over and makes a jumper, even if Duncan jumps up, he blocks beautifully, beautiful. My God, the first quarter isn't over yet, This is the second time Duncan has blocked Randolph in this game."

On the commentary stage, Steve Kerr applauded Duncan. The first quarter of the game played for five minutes, Duncan has rewarded Randolph 2 risks. And every time he finished, Randolph, who was extremely annoyed, turned to look at Duncan, only to find that 21's expressionless appearance was really interesting.

"Shit!" Randolph yelled, bragging in front of Link before the game. Today, Duncan is like a chicken blood, and he is extremely strong on the defensive end.

Randolph has shot times in just five minutes, but no hits. If it hadn't just gotten two free throws, Randolph would have been embarrassed to "swallow the egg".

"The Grizzlies' offense is in big trouble, and it's clear that their proud interior offense didn't work today. Marc Gasol just tried an offense, but with DeJuan Blair's excellent defense, the same Missed. The Grizzlies may have to change their offensive strategy, not every game can be solved by the black and white bears."

As soon as Kerr finished speaking, the Grizzlies opened the sideline. This time, Randolph passed the ball to Conley. Conley stumbles when he holds the ball. The defense of the "French Sports Car" has always been only average, but the Spurs' system masks this.

Just as Conley reached the inside line, he was stopped by Blair who came. Blair is 2.01 meters tall, but more than 120 kilograms. He is a veritable "meat of meat". Conley went straight up, afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

So, he broke through the ball, ready to find Tony Allen who followed the cut.

However, as soon as Conley's ball was passed, "Demon Blade" Ginobili stretched out his arm, and this is what he was waiting for!

Manu Ginobili steals the ball before Tony Allen catches the ball, then counterattacks!

Conley cursed, the Spurs are so smart!

Ginobili pushed all the way to the basket,

Behind him, Tony Allen chased after him.

Manu Ginobili knew that Tony Allen was not to be messed with after he jumped for a layup, so he made a layup in the air to avoid Tony Allen's block.

Seeing Manu Ginobili score, Link couldn't help but sigh, this guy is getting more and more sassy, ​​and his mind is full of sleazy manipulations.

The Spurs had a five-point lead over the Grizzlies after Manu Ginobili took advantage of the Grizzlies' mistake. At 12 to 7, the Grizzlies have yet to score in double figures. Link's 2 points, Randolph's 2 points and Conley's 1 point are all the sources of scoring for the Grizzlies. Not counting Randolph's two free throws, the Grizzlies have only scored twice in the field so far.

This kind of offensive efficiency is naturally what Hollins does not want to see.

So he called off the game, hoping to make some adjustments. As a defensive expert, Hollins can clearly see that his proud interior offense is completely limited. He needs to think of other ways, for example, let Link go offense.

But Hollins was also worried, because he could guarantee that Vicky must have expected him to do this long ago, and he was ready to deal with Link.

But looking at the situation on the court, Hollins had no choice. "Next, we will attack more from the outside, Link, actively interspersed with moves, and seized the opportunity to attack the Spurs. Our offensive efficiency is too low, we must Find a way to find the gap. The opponent is the No. 1 in the West, don't think you can beat the opponent with two easy strokes!"

In the end, Hollins chose to increase Link's shot. I just don't know how Vicky will deal with Link.

"Richard, the Grizzlies will definitely strengthen their offense at the 3 next. Remember the content of the training these days, stick to him, and don't give him a chance. If he breaks through, put him in the defensive trap. Li cited. In short, don't let him score easily." On the other hand, Vic was really talking about Link.

The old man attaches great importance to that undrafted pick. He scored 0 points, scored double-doubles, staged a lore, and won the rookie game vp. There's no reason not to pay attention to that guy.

The timeout is over, and Link is ready to play. Before playing, Battier, who made his first appearance after joining the Grizzlies, stood up and muttered a few words in Link's ear.

The on-site photographer spotted the shot and filmed it.

"Oh? Is Battier advising Link? As we all know, the Grizzlies traded back Battier, in addition to needing his immediate combat power, he must also need him to guide Link well. At present, this pair of Master and apprentice get along very well."

Steve Kerr was starting to look forward, while Richard Jefferson was nervous. What kind of medicine are those two guys selling!

For the first time the Grizzlies came back from a timeout, Jefferson clearly found Link's movement more aggressive.

This time, Randolph didn't head into the inside line to take on Duncan, but instead gave Link an off-ball screen.

Link went to the right three-point line and received a pass from Conley. But Richard Jefferson, who was defending hard, also quickly pushed up, sticking close to Link as Vicky explained, not giving him any space to shoot.

Link is not flustered. He has practiced with defenders like Tony Allen and Shane Battier on the training ground for a long time. What kind of rough defense has he not seen?

I saw this No. 0 undrafted calmly holding the ball in both hands and making a few tentative steps. This immediately caught Duncan's attention. He knew that he needed to make up for the defense the moment Link broke through.

Defending with the power of the system is where the Spurs really shine on the defensive end.

Link first took a step forward, and after deceiving Richard Jefferson's center of gravity, he immediately turned around!

Jefferson didn't expect Link's breakthrough to be so decisive, and his tentative steps were full of killer breath.

Duncan immediately mentioned the delay when he saw this. He couldn't give Link any chance, not even for a pull-up jumper and a pass.

"Too tender!" Vicky smiled. Although Jefferson was broken through, he did force Link into a defensive trap. Moreover, Duncan's response speed is also very fast.

Now Link doesn't even talk about shooting, he doesn't even have space to pass the ball!

But at this moment, Link, who was staring at the basket, suddenly flicked his wrist and passed the basketball past Duncan!

The basketball was sent out almost rubbing Duncan's body, and then fell precisely into Randolph's hands!

"This!?" Vicky stood up, he couldn't see Randolph! Duncan completely blocked Randolph, how did this guy do it! ?

In fact, Link knew when he broke through that Duncan would come to delay him. For one thing, he has watched a lot of Spurs game tape recently and knows their defensive habits. Second, Shane Battier reminded him just now to be careful of the Spurs' defensive traps. Combined with his own rich experience, Link naturally knew that choosing to pass the ball at this time was the best choice.

Therefore, Link did not hesitate after breaking through, and without even looking, seized the fleeting opportunity to pass the ball. Where Randolph is, Link does not need to see with his eyes, but has a clue in his heart!

Hill is a forward who can pass the ball very well, so this kind of passing is also easy for Link.

After receiving the basketball, Randolph went straight to the basket. Today, he has been taken by Duncan twice, and he has not yet scored a goal in sports battles. This has long made the big black bear hold his breath.

"Bang!"

The basket made a loud noise, and Randolph's weight of nearly 120 kilograms combined with that huge force caused the entire basketball hoop to be pulled and swayed downward.

Randolph smacked himself in the chest after landing, and the dunk was the Grizzlies' most morale-boosting shot to date.

Link was not as excited as Randolph. After smiling at the big black bear, he immediately retreated. He had simulated the ball just now countless times in his mind, so he wouldn't be surprised at all.

Veitch touched his chin, and it seemed that it would be more difficult than he thought to limit the undrafted pick.
