Two Hundred and Twenty-Six: The Momentum of the Strong Team

Kevin Martin experienced Link's versatility on the offensive end last season, but I didn't expect that guy to have new tricks.

Everyone thought that Link must have worked hard on his ball-handling offense this offseason. But in fact, Link's training focus this offseason is actually physical and strength. Link did also practice ball-handling offense, but he didn't spend as much energy as people thought.

But with two consecutive upgrades, Link's offensive ability with the ball has also made great progress. It can be said that it is twice the result with half the effort.

In the first goal of the season, Link took the lead for the Grizzlies. And just now, Vasquez chose to give the ball to Link instead of Guy, which also showed Link's current core status.

The Grizzlies are no longer chaotic, and once they've established a core, they won't change easily.

"Link's state is still very good. He perfectly continued the state of last season's playoffs. It seems that this summer, Link has not sweated less. Now, let's see how the Rockets' offense is going!"

Defense is still the Rockets' soft spot, especially after they traded Battier to the Grizzlies last season. Thabeet didn't perform as expected by the Rockets. It turns out that there are very few high-draft rookies. Even if you give him a chance, he may not be able to play.

This year, the Rockets' starting center is still Jordan Hill, and the backup center even had to use Haitian veteran Dalemport. Thabeet? He's been kicked out of the rotation. For this water dispenser, the Rockets paid Shane Battier

I have to say that the Rockets did too much brain damage last season.

But the defense is not good, the Rockets advocate attacking! This season, the Rockets' head coach has turned into one-time star player "Refrigerator" Kevin McHale. McHale is not a coach who is particularly obsessed with defense, so in the Rockets, he also uses the team as an offensive team.

As a result, the Rockets' offense looks aggressive. Lowry crossed halftime while gesturing, already quite a bit of Toronto style.

But unfortunately, Lori is only handsome for three seconds. Because he was blinded at half-time - couldn't find the passer!

Martin was so entangled by Link that he couldn't even get the chance to connect the ball. Link recklessly enjoyed the thrill of torturing Martin with his strong body, unable to extricate himself.

The hard work this offseason has really paid off.

Another perimeter player of the Rockets, Chase Budinger, is a beach volleyball player who was delayed by basketball. His abilities are mediocre in all aspects, and under Gay's defense, it is difficult to get opportunities.

With two inside lines, Jordan Hill couldn't play Gasol Jr. Scola is fighting with Randolph, not ready to shoot.

Lowry eventually had to find a breakthrough on his own, but Vasquez's defensive ability surprised Lowry.

It seems that Vasquez, who is not particularly strong, seems to be not very defensive. However, his height of 1.9 meters is definitely "alpine" in the position of point guard. And, although an international player, Vasquez received an American basketball education since middle school. He was Durant's teammate in high school.

At naa, Vasquez also played for four full years. Therefore, he has long been accustomed to the intensity of the United States. So on the defensive end, Vasquez is also quite tough!

Lori was already much shorter than Vasquez, and when he found out that the other party was a stubborn stubble, he also turned off the fire.

In the end, Lowry stumbled and gave the ball to Martin. Martin wanted to make a foul, but at this time Link was no longer fooled.

In this way, Martin knocked out the frame for the three-pointer who made the foul. The Rockets' proud offense was defused as soon as it came up!

"The Rockets' tactics are a bit messy." Hubby Brown frowned. To be honest, in this round, the Rockets' offense is not as orderly as when Adelman was coached last season.

Hubby Brown is still skeptical of McHale's abilities.

However, Link has no doubt that McHale's famous tactics are the famous "xd". His offense can be as smooth as Princeton's Adelman,

That would be hell.

2 to 0, the Grizzlies continue to oppress!

The Rockets and the Grizzlies met last season, and in the eyes of fans, the two sides are teams of the same level. But this year, as soon as the Grizzlies came out, they had the momentum of a strong Western team!

In this attack, Vasquez directly assisted Randolph in a low-level strike. The Grizzlies don't do those fancy things at all, how to do it efficiently.

Randolph is still strong this season, after all, he was the man who blew up "Stone Buddha" in the playoffs last year. Scola is one year older, and his defensive end has dropped significantly.

And after all, Scola's body is there. Hard defense in the low post is really no longer Scola's strength.

Randolph and Link scored goals respectively, and then it was Guy's turn.

Chase Budinger is a former McDonald's slam dunk contest champion. In college, he was also a veritable dunker. In the first two seasons of his career, he also dedicated a wonderful dunk to the Rockets fans.

Then, gone.

He just can jump, and occasionally makes threes but is unstable. This is almost the impression of him from fans.

Defense? This was never something Budinger was good at.

Gay called Gasol Jr. for a screen after receiving the basketball, then used the screen to easily break through Budinger and take his favorite mid-range jumper.

It can be seen that Guy is still very dependent on the cast. But as long as the vote is accurate, there is no problem with relying on the CIC.

With ease, Guy scored in front of Budinger. 6 to 0, McHale was full of black lines. If it goes on like this, his first game as a head coach will be screwed up.

This time, Lowry broke through and planned to score by himself. But it is a pity that Marc Gasol gave Lowry a big blow when he covered his face under the basket.

Pau Gasol is on the rise, both defensively and offensively. Lori's blunt challenge to the Spanish tower is indeed a bit tough.

The Rockets' offense failed again, and the Grizzlies fought back immediately!

If Conley was there, the ball just now would probably be a fast break. Whether Conley pushes the ball on his own or gets the ball quickly, he is a powerful tool in transition offense.

But Vasquez's awareness of the fast break was not so strong, so the Grizzlies eventually sat in the position.

But it doesn't matter, Link believes that as far as the Rockets' defense is concerned, there is no difference between fast break and position, and they can score both!

I have to say that the baptism of the three rounds of playoffs last season was not only for Link, but for the entire Grizzlies. Now suddenly facing the Rockets' loose defense, they really have no pressure.

Link and Vasquez played hand in hand to cooperate. After handing the ball to Link, Vasquez did not hesitate, but immediately ran to the right horn. There, Gasol has set up off-ball screens for Vasquez!

Vasquez took a gap, and Link's pass just arrived! The latter did not hesitate, and shot a three-pointer before Lori caught up!

"Can I get in? This is a great opportunity!"

As soon as Hubby Brown's words fell, Vasquez's three-pointer shot hollow into the net!

At the moment of the goal, the rushing whistle rang through the audience. 9 to 0, McHale stopped the game, and the Rockets were completely stunned when they came up!

At first, people thought it would be Link's solo show. At first, it was thought that Martin and Link were going to fight against each other.

But after a few rounds of the game, I found out that the difference between the Rockets and the Grizzlies is not just Link.

As soon as the game started, all of the Grizzlies' on-court players showed up. As it turns out, they are no longer on the same level as teams struggling on the fringes of the Western Conference playoffs.

As one of the two best teams in the Western Conference last season, the Grizzlies are now more and more obvious.
