Three Hundred and Six: I Know It's Too Late

Only two rounds of one offense and one defense, in fact, knowledgeable people can already see the huge gap between the two teams.

On the Wizards side, the defense is loose and unsystematic. On the Grizzlies side, the defense is tight and the planning is rigorous.

For the Wizards, the offense basically depends on personal ability. On the Grizzlies side, everyone knows exactly what they should do, when to pass the ball, when to run to where, completely clear and methodical.

And judging from the state of the Grizzlies today, they don't look like they are affected by rumors at all. Everyone is concentrating on playing, not everyone is in danger as the media said.

Hubie Brown was actually a little worried about the prospects of the Grizzlies this season after hearing those rumors, but now, he is extremely relieved. This strong team has not been affected at all.

Of course, what Hubie Brown didn't know was that all of this was due to the guidance of a young leader. Link's presence made the Grizzlies more cohesive.

There are people who are considered team leaders as soon as they enter the league, but they don't have the talent to be leaders.

And some people started off the bench, but know how to lead the team to become better.

Both of these guys, on the court today...

After being scored a 3-pointer by Link, Wall began to feel a little anxious. The words have been released, and he must come up with a response.

The No. 1 pick observed the situation on the field and found that Jordan Crawford and Nick Young were basically blocked. So this time, Wall made a few gestures. The Wizards players ran away in an instant, freeing up a lot of space for Wall.

Link took a closer look, this is to open the singles! ?

"Wal signaled his teammates to open up for him in singles. He is really confident."

"After all, Wall does have an advantage in height. He is almost 10 centimeters taller than Conley. Wall started to dribble skillfully, and he is about to break through!"

Wall wants to single Conley, but Conley's defense also belongs to the first echelon of the league's point guards. Indeed, his height is not dominant. But defending this thing doesn't all depend on height. Otherwise, wouldn't the tallest person be invincible in attacking?

Wal paused, but found that Conley was still standing still, and his center of gravity did not swing at all.

Link is embarrassed for Wall, this is the legendary operation as fierce as a tiger, so let's keep our eyes on the ground.

The second-year Wall's offense has not been polished so well, and Conley is already in his fifth season at this time. His experience and skills are in a relatively heyday.

Seeing that Conley didn't want to be shaken, Wall could only rely on speed to make a breakthrough! But Conley is not stupid, he has already let Wall take two steps, so the moment Wall broke through, Conley also forced him up immediately.

Before making physical contact with Conley, Wall stopped and shot a jumper. He didn't want this offense to be destroyed!

It's just a pity that Wall's mid-range is not his trump card. Not everyone is like Link, who can come up with a big killer move like cross step, emergency stop and mid-range shot in the second grade.

Wall's shooting percentage in the mid-range area will exceed 30%. To put it bluntly, some players are not as accurate as three-pointers...

"Boom!" The basketball hit the front of the rim, and Wall missed a single shot, with great embarrassment written all over his face!

The Grizzlies immediately counterattacked. After Link got the basketball, he directly smashed the ball to the ground from the center line.

A pass that hit the ground throughout the entire half was accurately sent to Tony Allen's hands. Mr. Tony shook off Jordan Crawford and dunked with one hand, causing the Wizards players to shake their heads.

In the East, they rarely encountered such a superb counterattack. And in Memphis, that's the norm.

"Once again, Link showed his ability to pass the ball from a long distance! Every time he passes the ball like this, it will make people feel pleasing to the eye. There is too much understanding between him and Tony Allen, passing and running The combination is just right. 7-0, the Wizards haven't scored yet."

Wall is completely messed up now, he can't score, and Lin Kexiu's face on the pass. Before the game, he said Link was like a cranky kid,

But now, he is more in line with this image.

Wall decided to adjust, so he chose to let his teammates attack next.

Then, a bigger disaster came.

Nick Young took the lead. He used a beautiful cross step to break through Link and directly kill the penalty area. But just when he was about to take three steps, Link took out with precision and retrieved the basketball. Nick Young showed his black question mark face again, and Link found that this guy is now an emoticon king. However, this expression is not hot yet.

This time on a counterattack, Link handed the ball to Randolph. The Big Black Bear got the better of Kevin Seraphim in the low post. The second-year French forward had a rough fight with Randolph. As a result, Randolph easily turned his back and passed the kid cleanly.

The NBA is not a place for pure brute force.

Trailing 9-0, Wizards coach Randy Whitman called a timeout. But most agree that the pause won't change things too much. After all, Whitman just took over the coach in January this year, and this gentleman's previous coaching resume is not glamorous, and he has never had a winning rate of more than 40% in any season of his career.

Let alone establishing a system now, whether he can solve this urgent problem is a problem.

On the Grizzlies side, Hollins asked the players to continue to strengthen their offense, "Maybe we can open the score in the first quarter!"

Allowing Hollins, who has always emphasized defense, to say this, we can know how "satisfied" he is with the Wizards' defense.

As a result, after returning from the timeout, things did not change.

Jordan Crawford actually singled out Tony Allen, Link really didn't know what that guy was thinking. Facing the defense of others, Jordan Crawford can only rely on stacking shots to score points. But facing Tony Allen, even if you pile up shots, you can't get points.

The unbelieving Jordan Crawford rushed the shot against Tony Allen's tight defense, but he could only add one rebound to the Grizzlies.

Not scoring a goal in the first attack after returning from a timeout is a huge blow to the morale of a team.

The Wizards are still waiting for their first goal, and the Grizzlies, the players are already playing.

Link showed off his dribble from beyond the three-point line, Nick Young frowned, he really hates defense! As a result, Link deliberately forced him to defend.

Link's crotch suddenly broke through after changing hands, and Nick Young, who was not focused enough, was surpassed by half a body.

But Link didn't continue to walk towards the basket, but made another emergency stop and changed direction. With this sway, Nick Yang was directly swayed a few meters away!

Amidst the exclamation of the fans, Link easily made a successful shot and scored 7 points in a single quarter!

After the three-pointer, post-up and pass, Link concealed the correct operation method for Wall to open the singles.

Show, too show!

At this moment, Wall felt like an undrafted pick, and Link was the No. 1 pick that made 13 teams chase after him.

The angry Wall finally scored a goal in the next attack. This ball Wall forced a breakthrough to the basket, and then under the block of Gasol Jr., he succeeded in a difficult pull-up layup.

Sure enough, Wall's finishing rate at the basket is really top-notch.

After scoring the goal, Wall raised his head to the sky and screamed, venting out the unwillingness and aggrievedness in his heart with the roar. He thought this would be the beginning of the Wizards' counterattack, but he didn't know that this was just a "consolation prize".

Not long after Wall scored the goal, Conley immediately returned a three-pointer, hitting Wall with black lines all over his face, and the point difference continued to be widened.

When Wall wanted to repeat the trick, he found that the Grizzlies had given him no chance. This time, Wall's layup hit the board directly under Randolph's strong pressure, without even touching the frame. The Wizards' offense was interrupted, and they were at a loss in FedEx Arena!

The game went to the end of the first quarter. When Pondexter on the bench made a layup and the red light on the backboard came on, the Grizzlies scored 32!

Scored 32 points in a single quarter, which is undoubtedly a very abnormal performance for the Grizzlies. After all, the Grizzlies, a defensive-oriented team, generally score between 20-25 in a single quarter.

On the other side, in the Wizards' score column, the number is 12... In the entire first quarter, Wall, who scored 4 points, is already the Wizards' personal highest score. Don't look at him only scored 4 points, but this is already one-third of the Wizards' team's points...

0 for 4 three-pointers, 5 for 25 in the game, only 5 sports goals in a single quarter, plus Wall was forced to make 3 turnovers in a single quarter. The data of the Wizards in the first quarter should not be too miserable.

After the end of the first quarter, the entire Wizards team walked off the court in despair, at a loss. There are no highly respected veterans in the Wizards, unable to stabilize morale. So being beaten like this, these young people fell silent.

As soon as Wall sat on the bench, he put a towel over his head, covering his entire face.

The No. 1 pick was hit hard, and he suddenly realized the huge gap between the Wizards and the Grizzlies. Although he didn't want to admit it, he also realized the huge gap between himself and Link...

The No. 1 pick was overwhelmed by the undrafted pick, and Wall felt that his name might be written into the history of humiliation.

If possible, Wall really wanted to go back to a day ago and take back what he said.

Link isn't a cranky kid, and he wasn't kidding when he said he'd use the win to prove the team was okay.

Now Wall knows, but it's too late.

32 to 12, the score is enough to make people desperate. But what is even more desperate is that there are still three full quarters left in this game...
