Six Hundred and Forty-Seven: People Who Are Unyielding to Fate

When Rudy Gay came on the field, the fans at FedEx Arena were undisturbed.

It was as if Guy never played in Memphis at all.

After all, now that Memphis fans have a more perfect icon, and he just played a perfect game, who cares about Rudy Gay.

Gay is not dissatisfied with this, he does not regard himself as a Grizzlies veteran, only as a Raptors player.

It can be seen that the fans are very calm. The Grizzlies have beaten too many powerful enemies before, and fans think that the Grizzlies can kill a mere Toronto Raptors.

Even Mr. Hubie Brown's voice was not as loud as it used to be.

"The starting lineup of the Raptors has not changed. Lowry and DeRozan are two young men in the back line. Guy and Amir Johnson are in the front line. In terms of center, the Raptors still send second-year Lithuanian Varan. Qonas. The game will start soon, let's see what kind of performance Link will bring to everyone today."

Link pressed his legs with ease, and he didn't plan to use too much force in this match. If you can clock in and get off work in three quarters, it would be better. After all, Link had not fully recovered from the consumption caused by the fierce overtime battle before.

In the scrimmage stage, Valanciunas, whose height and wingspan did not lose to Gasol, won the basketball for the Raptors and obtained the right to start the ball.

Link walked over to Rudy Gay. He knew that after Gay went to the Raptors, he was still the offensive core of the team with the most shots. So just watch Gay die, and the Raptors' offense is the equivalent of lame.

Kyle Lowry unhurriedly dribbled through the half, and the Grizzlies rolled out a defensive stance.

Just when the Grizzlies players were about to give the Raptors a blow with their first defense, Lowry from beyond the arc threw the ball into the air without warning.

"Huh?" Link was a little stunned, Rudy Gay was right in front of him, so who was Lowry going to give this ball to?

The next second, DeMar DeRozan, who had greeted him very gently just now, appeared in the air.

He used his explosive jumping ability to receive a high-altitude pass from Lowry, and then slammed the basketball on top of Gasol's head and smashed the basketball into the basket!

DeRozan finished the dunk, and the basketball hoop in the Federal Express Arena let out a "creaky" whimper.

Everyone was stunned, did the Raptors play so fiercely today?

"DeMar DeRozan made an alley dunk! He showed his athleticism to the fullest! The Raptors seem to love flying forwards after Tracy McGrady and Carter. No doubt, DeMar DeRozan. DeRozan is the kind of player they need."

DeRozan roared as he landed, and Link began to realize that something was wrong. He had never seen DeRozan like this.

That guy has a strong desire to win today!

In fact, DeRozan's desire to win has always been strong. From the moment he was drafted, from the day he was compared to Carter, DeRozan was doing everything he could for Toronto.

Link was a little surprised. Who gave them the confidence? Who made them think they could win at FedEx Arena, the home that is known to be the hardest to beat?

Soon, Link got the answer. Because Rudy Gay's defense against Link can be described as merciless.

Who gave them confidence? Of course it's Big Brother Guy! On the defensive end, he leads by example!

Guy is the same height as Link, 2.03 meters. But the wingspan is an exaggerated 2.21 meters.

Link is also a long-armed player, but that doesn't give him an advantage against opponents with the same length.

Link had just had an overtime fight with George, and to be honest, he was a little tired.

The Pacers players couldn't survive on the spot two days ago, which shows how much consumption that game was.

Although Link finished the overtime, it did not mean that he had no loss at all. Getting a 50-point triple-double on a team with the second-best defensive efficiency in the league is a grueling job.

Besides, Link did not rest well in the past day, because he was too hot, and there were endless calls from reporters and business activities.

Now, Guy is desperately fighting against Link's body, wrapping his long arms around him desperately, which can be regarded as stepping on Link's painful foot.

In desperation, Conley handed the ball to Lan Fatty in an attempt to open the situation from the low post.

Randolph was not polite. After he took the ball, he slammed it in because of his meat!

However, Amir Johnson, who was defending Randolph, was also a tough guy.

Johnson entered the draft directly after graduating from high school, and the first stop of his career was the Detroit Pistons. The four years he played in the Pistons had a great impact on Johnson. At that time, the Pistons were not completely lonely. The iron-blooded and rough style of the team was deeply recorded in Johnson's bones.

Therefore, even in the face of Randolph, who is bigger than himself, even if Randolph makes Johnson's chest feel tight, he will not give in an inch!

Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, Randolph had no choice but to turn over and make a jumper. However, Johnson pressed hard step by step, immediately posted it, and straightened his long arm, completely covering Randolph's shooting sight!

"Damn!" Randolph gritted his teeth, and the next second, the basketball came out of the frame, and Amir Johnson successfully completed the defense!

After Valanciunas got the rebound, he handed the ball directly to Lowry. Lori pushed forward quickly and wanted to fight back, but he didn't mean to wait for two insiders at all.

Raptors coach Dwayne Casey is not a very adaptable coach, but he has a very good set of skills for adjusting the team.

Due to the good training during normal training, the Raptors' counterattacks were fast and not chaotic, with Lowry, DeRozan and Guy advancing in parallel.

Link struggled to keep up with Gay and keep him from getting the chance to bomb the rim. On the other side, Iguodala also bit DeRozan tightly, and he would not allow DeRozan to complete the air pick as easily as just now.

As a result, Lowry did not pass the ball, but plunged himself into the penalty area, leaning on Conley and easily made a layup!

Lowry's nickname of "Little Steel Cannon" is not for nothing. His upper and lower limbs are very strong, and his tonnage is immediately considered "heavy" for a point guard. The whole thing is like a small Larry Payton. .

Leaning on the thin Conley for a layup was nothing to Lowry at all.

The Raptors' counterattack was very resolute, and it could be seen that they did not come to Memphis for tourism today.

You know, not all teams have the determination to win before the game. Most teams of the Raptors' caliber run into the Grizzlies and usually surrender before the game begins.

But the Raptors showed a completely different state. They were determined, decisive, brave, and they wanted to win the game.

4-0, the Raptors gained the advantage with two beautiful plays.

"Hey, hey! Cheer up, the Toronto Raptors aren't quite right today. Don't take it lightly, okay? We can't lose the home court to the Raptors!"

Link immediately gathered everyone and said a few words. As a team leader, Link must stand up when it matters most.

In the next attack, Link forced a breakthrough under Guy's entanglement.

But Link can clearly feel that his physical fitness is not in the best state, and his acceleration in the confrontation is not ideal.

After Link hit the basket, DeRozan, Gay and Valanciunas surrounded him. DeRozan showed no mercy and gave Link a very strong confrontation. Under this defense like "making dumplings", Link, who was not in the best physical condition, missed a layup.

The Raptors defended aggressively, and Gay and his two little brothers were very clear on their goals this season. With a common goal, they have the motivation to fight.

Since Link had just reminded his teammates, the Grizzlies retreated very quickly this time.

Everyone took the lead in blocking the inside line, preventing the Raptors from breaking through and scoring easily. Overall, this time the defense was much more successful than before.

Seeing this situation, the Raptors did not hit the ball inside. As soon as Lowry broke through, he passed the ball to the bottom corner on the right, where DeRozan was already in place!

DeRozan's biggest weakness is that his range is too short. The mid-range shot has been practiced, but the three-pointer has been unstable.

However, this season, although DeRozan can't use the three-pointer as his conventional weapon, it is not completely impossible to shoot.

After receiving a pass from Lowry, DeRozan shot decisively when Iguodala let him go two steps away!

"It's over." Seeing DeRozan's calm shot, Link's heart skipped a beat.

The shot from beyond the arc is something DeRozan has been working on desperately this summer. Link has played many practice games with DeRozan in the summer, so he knows very well that DeRozan's three-pointers can kill people when he feels good.

"brush!"

Just as Link thought about it, the basketball passed through the net. DeRozan hit a 3-pointer and the Grizzlies were beaten 7-0.

Until now, Grizzlies fans didn't realize that the Raptors were not here to celebrate Link's 50-point triple-double.

The three Raptors brothers gave each other high fives, and the three unyielding destiny together gave Link no chance to breathe.
