Three Hundred and Forty-Eight: Wolfberry Boy Link

After Link woke up at home the next day, he realized that he had received text messages from many stars.

"Come on, I can see that you are a little frustrated, but this is by no means the biggest difficulty you have encountered." From Jeremy Lin.

"Soldiers go to the battlefield, if they give up, they will die sooner or later! Come on, go back to the home court and play hard, I support you!" From Paul George.

These two text messages were quite normal, but the next few Links were a little speechless.

"Go embrace failure, be afraid of the hair, fuck him, when I led 3 to 1, the Suns were reversed... Remember, don't panic when you are double-teamed, just turn over and jump shot!" from Kobe Bryant.

"When the hell have you been so gentle? Look at Durant's smug look at the camera with his nostrils, damn it. You elbow him, and his nose bleeds! Technical foul? Technical foul is nothing, as long as you don't Suspended, you can foul hard! Let him be afraid of you!" Posted by Cousins …

"It's still the same sentence, boy, the future is yours." From the old Dengtou......

Not just Dirk, basically as long as he has a personal relationship, tell him not to give up easily.

It can be seen that people's expectations for Link are really high. This was somewhat beyond Link's expectations.

The media and fans outside of Memphis basically think that Link is finished, but this group of players in the NBA are more optimistic about Link.

It's true, they were not optimistic about Link in the past, but they were all cleaned up... Then, they were optimistic about Link. They knew better than anyone that Link was not such an easy player to beat.

Although some of these text messages are serious and some are funny, to be honest, Link's mood has improved a lot after reading it.

Link got up energetically, then turned on the TV to listen to sports news as usual.

Since there are only two games in the NBA now, one between the Heat and the Celtics, and one between the Grizzlies and the Thunder. Therefore, the city of Memphis naturally became the center of attention.

On TV, ESPN reporters are conducting interviews on the streets of Memphis, mainly interviewing some local fans and asking them how they view the current bad situation.

"We haven't had a home loss in the playoffs this season! You ask me what do you think? We'll get them in Memphis, don't worry!"

"Link is the Most Improved Player of the year, so come back to Memphis in two games and you'll see how he's improved!"

"The Grizzlies always get everything done at home, and this time it's the same. Come on Grizzlies! We don't fear any enemy!"

On the TV, there are fans who are enthusiastic and still have high morale. Link looked at it and felt more at ease.

Just for these fans and friends who are optimistic about themselves, they can't give up first!

Although it is indeed very tricky to fall behind 2-0, it is not the end of the world.

Thinking of this, Link turned off the TV and went straight to the training hall.

Talking is useless, action is the most effective way!

Meanwhile, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is struggling. If you want to come back from a 2-0 deficit, you can't suddenly gain combat effectiveness by shouting a few slogans.

At the tactical level, adjustments must be made.

Now, Hollins has a tough question at hand -- who should guard James Harden?

James Harden is the sixth man, which means he often plays when the Grizzlies are resting. In this way, it is Pondexett who is facing Harden.

Pondexter is certainly a good player, but compared to Harden, he is still a little bit less interesting. In the first two games, Harden averaged 60% of his three-pointers per game! This is the result of using Pondexter to defend Harden.

Jimmy Butler? No, Hollins can't play Butler at all. The NBA playoffs are no joke. Any shortcomings of players will be caught and magnified, so immature players and coaches are afraid to use them.

This is why most teams in the playoffs have short rotations.

Because, if the coach wants to reduce the shortcomings of his team, he can only use the most "affordable" people.

Butler was acquired by the team in exchange for Mayo, and the goal is to develop into the next Tony Allen. Hollins could see potential in Butler, and he could see that he was working hard. But this year, it's not the time for him to perform.

Finally, Hollins and his assistant Elston Turner look at me and I look at you.

Only one person was chosen.

During training in the afternoon, Hollins and Turner found Link and said they were discussing some tactical changes with him.

Being so serious, Link thought that Hollins wanted to use Randolph as the core of the offense again. As a result, Hollins just said, "I need to increase your playing time."

"Ah? This is a good thing, I definitely agree, there is no need to discuss it." Link readily agreed, isn't it just a few more minutes of playing, the biggest talent of this body itself is good physical fitness...

"No, you don't understand, it's not as simple as playing a few more minutes. We need someone to watch James Harden at all times, so whenever Harden is on the court, you have to be on the court. Of course, Tony can also guard Harden, but He can't continue our firepower. Therefore, the only candidate is you. Under such circumstances, you have to ensure that you have sufficient physical strength to play key shots at critical moments. I think you can see it in these two games. It's really just those two rounds. If you can grasp it, you win, if you can't grasp it, you lose. So, you have to be mentally prepared, this is not an easy job."

Hollins knew that might be too much responsibility for a second-year player. But there is no way, this is the playoffs. What are the playoffs? Force a player to better himself!

Those players who played better after the playoffs were forced out.

Now the Grizzlies are obviously unable to deal with the Thunder according to the conventional style of play, so someone can only stand up and break the rules.

Link put away his hippie smile and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Leon, I'm ready at any time."

A double test of physical fitness and mentality? It sounds exhausting. But if you don't sacrifice, how can you beat the scoring champion?

If you don't sacrifice, what are you talking about defending the home court!

Unbeaten playoff record at home...everyone is proud of that record. Link didn't want to see Durant standing on the floor of the FedEx Arena, proudly saying, "It's not difficult to win here."

In order to preserve his strength for the next day's competition, Link's training in the afternoon was not intense. When the media opened, the reporters entered the training hall and found that everyone else was sweating profusely.

Only Link, holding a thermos cup, sat on a chair with his legs crossed.

I don't know, I thought it was the old man guarding the gate of the training hall!

The reporters were surprised, what is the situation? Just give up the treatment?

Facing the surprised expressions of the reporters and the microphones that were just about to be stuffed into his mouth, Link looked calm, "Don't panic, there are still more than 20 hours before the start of the game. The most important thing now is to enjoy this A moment of peace."

Link let the image of "Godberry Boy" appear in the league N years ahead of schedule.

But Link is very clear that the biggest charm of "Godberry Boy" is that as long as he wants to, he can immediately put down the thermos and show his performance! What people question is only the attitude of the "godberry boy", not the ability!

When Link puts down the thermos tomorrow, he will definitely let the Western Conference No. 1 from afar to see what the undefeated home game in the playoffs is like.
