Five Hundred and Eleven: 1 Palm Fan Back to Reality

Kanter was hostile to Link, but it was useless, he could only watch first from the bench. After all, with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap, Kanter, a second-year student, would have a hard time getting a starting spot.

Speaking of which, although Kanter was the No. 2 pick last year, he has only made two starts in his career so far, which is miserable enough.

Before the game, Link deliberately looked at the Jazz bench and gave Kanter a playful smile.

Kante clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. To be more provocative, Kanter is a younger brother in front of Link.

Sometimes Link's expression can make people angry.

Kanter would clean up later, and Link turned his attention back to the court.

The Jazz's starting five tigers are very stable, and unless there is an injury, they will basically not be replaced.

The two guards are "Mo Buchuan" Mo Williams and Randy Foye. The front line is paired by Hayward and Millsap. In the center position, Al Jefferson, who is strong in attack and weak in defense, is standing.

On paper, the Jazz's roster isn't bad. To be honest, they do have the strength to play in the playoffs.

The confidence and expectations of Salt Lake City fans are not groundless, and the Jazz are 0.5 games behind the eighth-place Rockets. So even in front of the league first, the Jazz must fight to the end.

The referee signaled the two sides to get ready, and Link focused his attention on Gordon Hayward.

Don't look at Kanter's most violent trouble, but the most threatening Jazz is actually this seemingly elegant white forward.

Hayward still has tousled, white hair that doesn't match the wild style of the NBA at all.

If this guy didn't play basketball, he might be an esports player. For him, the greatest joy other than basketball is the game.

Hayward is a very simple man, and he treats life the same way he treats basketball.

Therefore, even against Link, he will focus on the basketball itself.

Stevens was inexplicably excited sitting off the court. The two best forwards he had coached were about to compete head-on.

The referee's whistle blows,

Pau Gasol competed for basketball by virtue of his height. Hayward followed Link intently, and Link clearly felt Hayward's progress the moment Link made contact with Hayward.

This guy's body is really strong!

When he first entered the league, Hayward was also very thin. But in the past two years, he has successfully gained weight and muscle, and has been fully adapted to NBA-level confrontation.

Link had to admit that fighting Hayward was a bit of a struggle. Hayward is not only capable of confrontation, but also not afraid of confrontation.

Anyway, the Jazz play a team offense and don't need a single person to stand up. Therefore, Hayward is also very willing to put his energy on the defensive end.

Link did not hold the ball in the first round, but Iguodala took advantage of his height and made a shot in front of Randy Foye. But even so, Link can experience Hayward's excellent defensive end.

Although the opponent scored, but Hayward did not show the slightest annoyance. He immediately turned around and ran to the front court, this guy's mood is very stable.

Offense, then this is the Jazz's strengths.

Mo Williams steadied the ball through the half and gave it to Millsap from beyond the arc.

Millsap holds the ball in a high position. Although this guy is playing at the 4th position, he can actually cast, transport and pass, just like a small forward. If it weren't for his slowness, he might actually be a better fit at the 3.

Millsap had just caught the ball when Hayward suddenly started and leaned towards Millsap.

Millsap understood, and he handed hands with Hayward. The moment he handed the ball to Hayward, he jumped into a gear and stopped Link.

Millsap is about the same height as Link and not much bigger, but the cover is really solid!

As a second-round pick, Millsap learned everything from Boozer. So far, he can do very well in all fields.

After receiving the basketball, Hayward saw that Link was blocked, so he made an emergency stop and shot from beyond the three-point line!

Because the Jazz didn't pay enough attention, in everyone's impression, Hayward seems to have always been an off-ball shooter.

When he first entered the league, he was indeed an off-ball shooter, but now, it's long gone.

Link raised his hand and rushed up, but to no avail. Hayward's shot timing was very good, and he didn't hesitate, so he didn't leave Link with the opportunity to interfere with the shot.

In the next second, the basketball crossed a rainbow arc and then fell straight into the net!

As soon as he came up, Hayward, who didn't say anything, gave Link a slap in the face!

"Goal scored! Hayward scored a goal on Link's head at the beginning of the game! When Irving and Waiters were beaten by Link, they were too afraid to shoot, and when the three-position players were guarded by Link, it was sad. When the color faded. Gordon Hayward proved his determination in a very brave way!"

The local commentators in Salt Lake City don’t say how happy they are. Indeed, they are all third graders, and Hayward is no longer a player of the same level as Link.

But that lad was brave enough and good enough, and that was enough!

Hayward smiled happily after scoring, like a kid who managed to throw the ball in when he was a kid.

Stevens was extremely pleased to see that Hayward could not forget his original aspirations in the NBA, a business league.

At the same time he was worried, worried about the Grizzlies. It is not difficult to see from the offense and defense at the beginning that the Jazz are in very good shape today.

They are fully prepared!

"If there is another ball like this, switch the defense. That guy shoots very quickly!" Link communicated with Randolph. Link saw the data yesterday. Hayward's three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 41.5%. But dare not let him go easily.

The Grizzlies attacked for the second time, and this time, Conley still wanted to play with Iguodala.

The most shabby thing about the Jazz's lineup is this back line. Mo Williams and Randy Foye are both short and easy to be caught and beaten.

Iguodala deliberately sat in the middle distance this time. He directly turned his back to Conley for the ball. After receiving the basketball, Iguodala was ready to turn around immediately, trying to cut to the basket with a stronger body.

However, Iguodala had just turned halfway around when he felt stuck.

Randy Foye stuck Iguodala so hard that he couldn't turn around! Just when Iguodala panicked, Foye took out the basketball and snatched the basketball!

"Randy Foye completed the steal, the Jazz got the opportunity to fast break!"

Foye's defense is indeed not very good, but mainly because of his short height and slow speed.

In terms of confrontation, the strong Foye is not afraid of anyone. So just now, he even stuck the extremely strong Iguodala!

The Jazz fought hard, even Foye, who was not good at defense, fought hard. Facing Iguodala, who was 5 centimeters taller but stronger than him, Foye didn't have the slightest stage fright.

This spirit is what the Grizzlies are most worried about now. This kind of spirit can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of a team.

Link started to retreat the moment Randy Foye made the steal, and immediately after Foye made the steal, he gave the ball to Mo who was running at the front. There was no one in front of Mo Williams when he got the ball, but the experienced man looked behind him.

Link is the closest to Xiao Mo, but he is almost two positions away.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo confirmed that he was safe. So take two big steps and get ready for a layup!

Mo. Williams didn't see the surprised expressions of the fans, otherwise he would definitely give up the decision to layup.

Jazz fans only saw Link approach Momo at an incredible speed, and then take off at the same time!

Mo Williams, who was laying up, didn't even know that he had become the prey of the "Bear King".

Watching Link soar higher and higher in the air, many Jazz fans closed their eyes.

"Crack!" The basketball made a loud noise and bounced back after hitting the backboard.

Mo Williams was chased by Link!

"He is definitely the most chasing small forward in the active league!" The commentator stood up excitedly. This nickname originally belonged to James and Josh, but now fell to Link.

The audience exclaimed, Link's blocking was too merciless. The Jazz had just experienced a round of "sweetness" when they were slapped back to reality by Link.

If you want to win the Memphis Grizzlies, you can't do it by gnashing your teeth!

Link got the basketball that bounced off the backboard and was ready to push the ball forward.

But at this moment, there was a loud roar from the Jazz bench.

"What's the point of bullying a little guy?"

It was Kante who was yelling, the guy was ranting about his teammates.

Link ignored it and continued to move forward.

As for Kanter... I hope Jazz coach Tyron Corbin can give him a few more minutes today.
