Eighty-Nine: Superstars and Undrafted (1/40)

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: []The fastest update! No ads!

In the scrimmage stage, Pau Gasol won the first attack ball with the advantage of height and wingspan.

Mike Conley moved forward cautiously, and the entire Grizzlies played very slowly. Hollins' request today is to be cautious. Whoever can control the mistakes in this key game can control the situation.

Conley was just getting close to the 3-point line when Chris Paul started his show.

Paul's defense is very tough, and it's not an exaggeration to say that his defense is a little dirty. In order to be successful on defense, Paul doesn't mind using small moves to achieve results.

How aggressive is Paul's defense? Wade once said: On the basketball court, Chris Paul doesn't treat anyone as a friend.

Even with his good friends, Paul will start, not to mention Conley and Paul are far from being friends.

Paul's close-fitting defense makes Conley very uncomfortable. He now finds it difficult to control the ball, let alone an offense. A careless, Paul can seize the flaw to stab the ball away.

At this time, although Conley has played in the league for four years, he is not as mature as he has been in the future.

In the end, Conley had to give the ball to Guy who came out of his pocket. As the Grizzlies' leading scorer, Gay naturally wants to take the lead in this crucial game.

However, Ariza's defense is no joke. Guy tried to break through for the first time, but he was forced to stop by Ariza.

Seeing this, Guy did not pass the ball, nor continued to grit his teeth to break through, but made a sudden pull-up jumper!

"Damn it!" Hollins covered his forehead, and the guy's old problem was committed again. When he encountered a tough defense, he wanted to use a pull-up jumper to solve the problem. This is almost one of Guy's least effective offensive methods.

Sure enough, Rudy Gay's shot hit the frame under the defense of Ariza's face. The Grizzlies failed their first offense, which was demoralizing.

"The Hornets' defense is very good, and there are strong defenders in almost every position." Kenny Smith applauded the Hornets' excellent defense, but after saying this, he couldn't help but glanced at Italian guard Beliné profit.

The Hornets' only defensive weakness might be Belinelli. I just don't know if Link's undrafted pick can help the Grizzlies open up the situation.

Switching to the Hornets offense, Chris Paul is much calmer than Conley. Although Conley's defense is also strong, but Paul is not affected at all.

After he walked beyond the three-point line, he began to command the offense calmly, West put on the screen, and Paul waited for an opportunity to break through.

Although Paul is a "pass first" style point guard, anyone who dares to underestimate his scoring ability will definitely be punished.

Seeing Paul break through, the Grizzlies' defense had to shrink. Paul looked at the six-way, flicked his wrist lightly, and passed the ball very dashingly.

What basketball found was none other than the Italian defender Belinelli, who was ambush in the right bottom corner.

Paul just saw that No. 0 Chinese also leaned a few steps to the basket, so he decided to pass the ball to the Italian. He believes that with a little space, Belinelli can shoot from long range.

"Come on!" Belinelli couldn't wait before he received the basketball. It is really a blessing for a shooter to play next to a point guard of Paul's level. As long as you get the chance, don't worry about the point guard not seeing it.

Catching the ball, taking off, pressing the wrist, and dialing the fingers, Belinelli's shooting movements are all in one go. He feels good, and if he can make a successful shot, nine times out of ten he can hit it.

However, just when Belinelli just pushed the ball out, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the Italian defender.

"What!?" Just as Belinelli was startled, Sombra waved his arm and slammed his shot into the audience.

The originally lively scene was suddenly quiet for a second, and everyone was stunned, including Paul.

"It's... incredible, Link blocked Belinelli's shot from beyond the arc.

When Paul passed the ball, Belinelli was clearly open. But when he catches and shoots, Link arrives at just the right time. This guy had a good performance by Korver from beyond the three-point line in the last game. It seems that today, Link does not want such a thing to happen again. "

Barkley smiled, but don't underestimate that undrafted pick!

Paul was also a little surprised. There was no problem with his passing, and there was no problem with Belinelli's shot. The question is, why is No. 0 so responsive? If he's going to shrink inside from the start, it's impossible to think faster than passing the ball.

There is only one possibility to say so - that No. 0 deliberately pretended to shrink and induced himself to pass the ball!

Thinking of this, Paul shook his head. No, just an undrafted, can't be that smart.

Although Belinelli's shot was blocked, the offensive ball still belongs to the Hornets. Belinelli stood on the sidelines ready to respond at any time, but Link refused to give in an inch.

The Italians were starting to be a little scared of Link psychologically, because of this Asian's enthusiasm, as if he wanted to fight Belinelli to the death.

Ultimately, basketball was handed over to Paul. Paul made a butterfly stride in the mid-range, shaking Conley's center of gravity, and then suddenly stepped back and made a jumper.

Paul's shooting is very stable, especially the mid-range shot. When the hand feels good, it feels like a hit.

This time, when Conley failed to interfere in time, Paul's mid-range shot was extremely crisp and hollowed into the net.

"Damn it!" Link pouted, he finally blocked a shot, but he still couldn't stop the Hornets from scoring.

It seems that Paul today, like himself, has an incomparably longing for victory.

After the goal, Paul glanced at Link as if provocative - you can't guard us.

Facing Paul's vicious eyes, Link was very helpless, he just wanted to tie the score as soon as possible!

With Randolph and Guy on the floor, Link wasn't Hollins' first choice on offense.

After Gay missed the last shot, this time it was Randolph's turn to attack.

However, is David West a soft persimmon? Not only can he top people, but his defensive skills are also a must. The top was light, and Randolph didn't move. The top is heavy, and West falls at any time to make a foul.

The dilemma of Randolph's singles in the low post did not go well, but the big black bear did not want to escape easily.

So, with some distance from the basket, Randolph turned over and hooked directly.

However, David West's judgment on Randolph's shot was very accurate. Although he could not directly complete the block, it still seriously interfered with Randolph's shot.

Belinelli smiled. It seems that the Memphis Grizzlies, which have been wildly reported by the media recently, are just like that.

Just as the Italian was complaining about the Grizzlies' offense, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, what about Link?

Randolph's basketball hit the front of the basket, and Okafor and Gasol became entangled. But before the two elders could take off, Link beside them rose into the air without warning.

Paul was about to fight back, but when he saw No. 0 flying into the air, his expression instantly froze. When did this guy get in?

Belinelli is a pure defender who rarely works in the paint. Therefore, his card position awareness is not strong. Therefore, it was easy for Link to jump into the inside line.

In the air, under the astonished eyes of everyone in the audience, Link grabbed the rebound. Before landing, Link pressed the ball back directly!

"Bang!" There was a loud noise in the center of the Smoothie King, and the backboard couldn't stop shaking under Link's pressure.

Grant Hill in his twilight years can occasionally show the glory of his youth. There is no doubt that Link has inherited this fine tradition of his.

"Fixed! A beautiful dunk. Link seems very excited today, he is extremely positive. Link has never been known for his athleticism, but that's why this shot was unexpected. "

Barkley danced with excitement, and Link's dunk was really boosting morale. Although strictly speaking, the Grizzlies did not play this offense, the unexpected goal was even more surprising.

"Beautiful, boy! I won't miss my chance next time."

Sure enough, Link fell behind from the basket, and Randolph immediately yelled at him. It's not that Randolph lost his temper, but that his animal nature has been inspired by Link.

Link didn't say a word, didn't even glance at Belinelli, who was opposite him.

He moved his gaze directly to Paul, and the two looked at each other again. Link was responding to Paul's provocation just now!

There is no doubt that there is a spark between an undrafted and a super point guard.
