Chapter 832: The Flaws Behind the Gorgeous Appearance of the Three Giants

Latest website: Link used an unreasonable emergency stop three-pointer to completely shatter all the beautiful illusions of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And Link's early celebration of the three-point goal made the fans at the scene go crazy.

Speaking of the most well-known early celebration in NBA history, it must be Arenas. But Link's calmness, chicness and confidence when he celebrated just now were no worse than the high-spirited Arenas back then.

Link is very good at temperament. Behind Link's early celebration, James' shocked expression became the best background.

"This shot is incredible. When he was so far away from the three-point line, Link actually chose to stop and take the shot! The most important thing is that Link actually predicted in advance that the basketball would hit! I think, the whole league There is no player more confident than Link!"

Hubie Brown kept applauding. This was not the opening game between the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies. It was completely Link's personal show!

The average ticket price is close to 800 US dollars, and this level of attention at the finals is entirely to set off Link!

David Blatt, who had just arrived, stood on the sidelines in surprise and almost forgot to call a timeout. If it weren't for assistant coach Tyronn Lue's timely reminder, the Cavaliers might have continued fighting with a 10-point difference and an extremely shocked mentality.

"Timeout? Oh, yes, yes...timeout, timeout!" Bratt yelled at the referee after being reminded by Tyronn Lue. The game was interrupted, and the poor Cavaliers players were finally "rescued." "Come out."

Blatter has worked in European and international basketball for most of his life, but he has never seen such an unreasonable player!

During a fast break, if you stop one step away from the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer, a player who does this will be scolded by the coach anywhere. As we all know, the closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to hit a shot, and the biggest advantage of a fast break is that you can easily break through to the position closest to the basket.

But if such an unreasonable goal can be scored, that's another matter.

As long as you can put the ball in, even shooting from the midfield line is reasonable. And Link, without a doubt, made this unreasonable thing reasonable.

Blatt looked at Link hugging his teammates, and suddenly felt that his basketball philosophy of the past few decades had become a piece of waste paper. He originally thought that LeBron James was already the most incredible basketball player in the world, but today, Blatt saw what it means to be truly incredible.

Link used a three-point shot to tell Blatt, the rookie coach, "Welcome to the NBA!"

"Hold on, being behind by 10 points is not the end of the world! Next we have to play more cautiously and more actively! I know that they have already gained momentum. If we back down at this time, they will push forward! In the next few minutes We have to withstand the intense firepower of the grizzly bears and show them that we are not afraid!”

Seeing David Blatt standing there blankly, James shook his head and started to boost his own morale.

On his first day coaching the NBA, Blatt met a player like Link, which was indeed a bit difficult for him to digest.

But the game will not be put on hold. Whether Blatter is ready or not, he is already here. Now that he's put on his suit and picked up his tactical board, Blatter must hold on until the end of the game.

If Blatt can't persist, then James will do it himself!

James also knows that the Cleveland Cavaliers are a team led by players and himself.

So let's take the initiative to encourage everyone and hope that the Cavaliers can survive this most difficult time.

As an experienced veteran, James knows very well that if the Cavaliers cannot survive this period, this game will be very dangerous!

But as long as the Cavaliers can survive this period, the game will still be suspenseful after the Grizzlies are no longer so scary.

Whether they can win the opening game depends on whether the Cavaliers can hold on in these few minutes of the second quarter!

After Blatter came to his senses, he also arranged a few offensive tactics that were not painful, and then said some nonsense like "pay attention to protecting the rebounds" before letting the players play again.

Tyronn Lue, who was behind Blatt, shook his head. He thought Blatt had complicated things. When coaching this Cavaliers, wouldn't it be nice to give the ball to James...

The game restarted, and the Grizzlies also began to make substitutions. Joger replaced Randolph, who had a salary cut this summer, with Harris. The purpose was very clear, which was to enhance the offense and widen the gap in one fell swoop.

James's eyes lit up. He thought this was an opportunity for the Cavaliers! Harris played equally well in the preseason, but his excellence was limited to his offense. If Love can sit inside and challenge Harris, he will gain a great advantage!

Love also understood this, so in the subsequent offense, Love did not continue to fly a kite outside the three-point line, but took the initiative to sit in the low post, leaning on Harris and raising his hand to ask for the ball like a real No. 4!

James easily picked the angle and sent the ball in. Love was about to use his strength, but found Link raising his arms to double-team him!

"Double team, Link did it very decisively, they must have planned everything in advance!"

Everything was indeed planned. Joger is a coach who pays attention to defense, and it is impossible for him not to consider Harris's weaknesses on the defensive end.

Therefore, just after the timeout, Joger told Link, "Try to double-team Love with Harris."

Seeing Link double-teaming him, Love did not show off and immediately gave the ball back to James.

But Link was not slow either. The moment Love passed the ball, he turned around and chased James.

As long as you're fast enough and your defensive awareness is good enough, you won't be able to leave any gaps even if you're double-teamed!

James directly shot a three-pointer after receiving the ball, but Link's timely interference made James's crosshairs full.

Joger dared to ask Link to double-team Love because of James's unstable three-pointers.

As a superstar, James' shortcomings in this area are indeed too obvious.

James had just encouraged himself off the court, but he missed a shot on the first attack after returning, which made what he just said backfired.

Now the Cavaliers players are thinking, "Even our leader can't score, do we still have a chance?"

The morale of the Cavaliers has been further hit!

Gasol collected the rebound, and the Cavaliers players were already a little weak in the face of the Grizzlies pressing forward again.

After Link continued to attack for several rounds, this time he seemed to have stopped. After everyone in the Grizzlies was in position, people discovered that the Grizzlies were playing a singles tactic.

But it wasn't for Link, but for Harris, who had just appeared!

Love just failed to beat Harris, but Harris will not be polite.

Outside the three-point line, Harris holds the ball and prepares to single out Love. Love spread his arms as wide as possible and put on a posture of trying to defend. But everyone knows that Love has no advantage in perimeter defense.

Harris held the ball and made a few triple-threat moves. After shaking Love's center of gravity, he accelerated his breakthrough!

Harris' breakthrough is similar to Jimmy Butler's, there are no flashy skills. But Harris's footsteps are faster than traditional fourth positions like Love, and Harris's core strength is extremely strong and can withstand the advancement of the fourth position. This is also the reason why he can survive in the interior.

Catching the ball, following the step, lowering the center of gravity, breaking through, throwing, and scoring, Harris' offense is completed in one go.

Harris's throw near the penalty area was originally included in the scouting report as an advantage. He can always find a good feel for the ball near the penalty area and throw the ball in using various postures.

Although the "ball feel" thing is a bit illusory, Harris can score goals, and this is a fact.

Love was beaten to death by Harris. Facing the fourth position like Harris who launched an attack from beyond the three-point line, Love had nothing to do!

On the Grizzlies side, Link can double-team Love. But when it comes to the Cavaliers, James can't help Love double-team Harris.

If Link is leaked, the punishment for the Knights will be even greater!

The 12-point difference was reflected on the big screen. Love, a giant, has now become a burden to the Cavaliers.

He couldn't get an advantage on the offensive end, and he couldn't restrict Harris on the defensive end. Seeing this scene, Hubie Brown felt sad for the Cavaliers, "The Grizzlies are so cold-blooded. In the first game of the regular season, they unveiled the gorgeous appearance of Cleveland's fantasy Big Three and pointed out their flaws. . From now on, people will know how to deal with the Cavaliers Big Three."

David Blatter watched his team struggle and for the first time felt helpless from the sidelines.

He has hundreds of tactics in his head and has dealt with all kinds of situations. But five people on the Grizzlies court can now attack with the ball, which is indeed unprecedented!

At this point, the Cavaliers' defense was completely stretched, and James had to fall into a one-on-one situation with Link.

And this is exactly what Qiaogel wants to see.

After the second quarter, Link showed his true all-around skills on James.

Pull-up jump shots, step-back three-pointers, breakthrough attacks... Link's offense has almost no shortcomings. Defensive players as strong as James are helpless against Link.

James's state today is completely opposite to that of Link. On the offensive end, James made nothing but mistakes, and his performance was very worrying.

After half the game, with Link's 12-point performance in a single quarter, the Grizzlies widened the point difference to 21 points in one fell swoop!

Before the game started, people said that the defending champion who had not made any big moves this summer was destined to fall. People say that the Cavaliers, who form the younger Big Three, are destined to subvert the Grizzlies' dominance.

But the Grizzlies told everyone in just one half, "The championship pennant is flying over FedEx Arena!"

At halftime, everyone on the Cavaliers, from James to head coach Blatt, walked into the tunnel dejectedly.

Therefore, the reporters could only find Link and ask him to comment on this half of the game.

Link faced the camera and waved to the equipment manager sitting behind the bench.

The equipment manager walked up with a small box and handed the box to Link's hand.

Link opened the box in front of the camera, took out the championship ring inside, and proudly wore it on his hand, "I said, a champion will always be a champion until he falls. Whether you admit it or not, we are still the strongest. of."

Seeing Link showing off his power in front of the camera, many fans were furious.

But looking at the huge 21-point difference at halftime...

Besides being patient, what else can I do?

Link's "violent" rule may continue for a long time.
