After the first quarter of the game, all Grizzlies fans were shocked into a cold sweat.

It's not the first time they've fallen behind in the first quarter, but it's a very rare occurrence for Link to fall behind because he didn't shoot accurately.

And Rockets fans are extremely excited, Link, the stepping stone, Harden seems to have stepped on it!

The players don't feel good, and the manager can't do anything about it. Even the greatest basketball coach in the world can't change a player's bad hand.

Just like Bill. Simmons said, the shooting feel, this is a mysterious and mysterious thing.

It's not that just because you're skilled doesn't mean you're going to be able to shoot right in every game.

But there is also a style of play that is not accurate to shoot, and Joggle still believes that Link can lead the team out of the quagmire, but the method has to be changed.

"In the second quarter, Link, I need you to increase the proportion of breakthroughs and continue to create damage! Dwayne, you go ahead and take a break. Richardson, in the second quarter I want you to play the starting number two. Remember, the task of the four of you is to make room for Link to attack the basket more easily! ”

Joggle was not discouraged or complained, and discouragement and complaining did little to direct the game.

Solving problems when encountering problems is what a coach should do.

Joggle replaced Wade in the hope of increasing the Grizzlies' threat from beyond the three-point line and further helping Linka open up space.

If you can't shoot, you should break through.

Link nodded lightly, it seems that today, he has to experience James's "star-studded" style of play.

Of course, Link had more than just hitting the basket.

In the second quarter, he will do more to make up for the lack of shooting percentage.

Soon, the electronic buzzer echoed throughout the audience, and the intermission time ended.

Although the game fell behind in the first quarter, the Grizzlies fans still gave Link a warm cheer.

They trust the city's leaders unconditionally, and they all firmly believe that Link won't mess up the game.

Bill. Simmons couldn't help but get goosebumps as he watched the reaction of the fans at the scene.

Link's influence in Memphis has gone beyond being a sports superstar.

In a city where there was no hope, Link became a spiritual pillar for the citizens of Memphis!

"Come on, Link, you must win, you must win!" In the midst of this cacophony of shouts, Link heard a different voice.

He turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a little girl about four or five years old dancing and shouting at Link in the row behind the commentary.

Finding Link looking at her, the little blonde girl smiled even sweeter.

Link didn't really like children very much before, because he thought them were too troublesome and noisy.

But recently, I don't know if it's because I'm going to be a father, but his affection for children is much higher than before.

Seeing a cute little girl cheering for herself, Link suddenly had a feeling that his heart was melting.

Yes, down to a few years old, up to a gray-haired dozens of years old. The expectations of the whole Memphis are all on their backs!

How can it be so easy to disappoint someone who believes in you!

Link looked at the Rockets' basket and moved his arm.

It's time to get back on the field!

The game restarted, and in addition to swapping Wade for Richardson, the Grizzlies sent back four other starters. On the Rockets' side, D'Antoni also replaced all five of the starting tigers.

One of the most similar things about D'Antony the mustache and his predecessor McHale is that they both like to use short wheels.

During the playoffs, D'Antoni had just eight regulars in rotation. Therefore, the rocket is always in the state of the most intense fire.

"You say Link will affect the game in a way other than shooting, what do you mean exactly?" Seeing that the Grizzlies' offensive still seems to be tepid, Kevin. Harlan asked again.

"How could I possibly know that I'm not a roundworm in Link's stomach. However, we will soon find out. ”

Bill. As soon as Simmons finished speaking, Link passed by Conley and exchanged hands with his old partner.

After getting the basketball, Link didn't hesitate and went straight to the basket!

The Rockets weren't stupid either, they had long expected Link to change their style of play. So, D'Antoni had just instructed everyone: "As soon as Link breaks through, resolutely shrink the defense!" ”

Such an approach would indeed give the Grizzlies more open three-point opportunities. But with the Rockets feeling great today, D'Antoni doesn't think the rest of the Grizzlies can shoot more accurately than the Rockets!

If you want to fight for three-pointers, D'Antoni is full of confidence!

Link saw Capela shrink into the three-second zone, and Harden, who also spotted the chicken thief, was ready to cut off the pass to Gasol while defending Richardson.

Therefore, this ball Link did not choose to pass, but jumped to the basket against Capela.

Capela was also very active and jumped up to block it at the first time.

If this is a normal layup, then Capela's hot pot Link is a sure deal.

Instead of sending the ball to the basket in the usual way, Link came with a high toss!

"!" Capela found himself out of reach of the basketball, and Link's hand was incredibly soft.

It's true that Link didn't feel good shooting today, but that doesn't mean that Link doesn't feel good under the basket either.

All kinds of delicate technical work under the basket, Link still plays quite easily.

Is it safe to block Link's shot? No, Link's finishing ability under the basket is just as good!

The ball eventually grazed the rebound and went into the net with precision, and Link blew the horn of the Grizzlies' counterattack as soon as the second quarter came up.

"So, Link's solution to the problem of not shooting on time is to break through?" Kevin. Harlan touched his chin, and with Link's ability, he could indeed score high scores just by breaking through.

But this is too monotonous and too physically demanding after all, and if you are more than 2 points behind at a critical moment, it is not so good to break through.

"Look, the breakthrough is just one of the ways he affects the game." Bill. Simmons straightened up, and the show officially began!

Although Link scored a goal beautifully, the Rockets were not deterred.

Their offense is still fierce, and Harden is still threatening the Grizzlies' defense with a burning touch.

In the first quarter of the game, Harden's shooting was really accurate. On several occasions, the ball was thrown in with Link's interference.

Although it is not a serious distraction that directly pastes his face, it is enough to show that Harden is in excellent form today.

So in the second quarter, Link simply didn't plan to give Harden room to shoot!

Harden saw that Link was sticking himself more enthusiastically than the bartender in the nightclub, so he also took the initiative to lean in.

He wants to make a foul!

But Link took a step back the moment Harden came up, and he had expected Harden to come this way.

Harden, who was twisting his body in the air, pounced and could only force his shot without a point of focus at all.

The result can be known, Harden didn't even stabilize his center of gravity in the air, how could he hit the shot?

Harden's shot missed. The Rockets' attempt to continue to widen the gap has also officially run aground.

Link's defense successfully interrupted Harden's hot hand!

"Link is very smart defensively, and he keeps Harden from shooting comfortably and doesn't let him get a foul. This year's Best Defensive Player award is none other than Link! ”

Seeing Harden's deflated expression, Beal. Simmons smiled with satisfaction.

Harden's foul making is really good, but Link's vigilance is very high.

The bearded man wanted to get free throws on Link, but it wasn't easy.

Sure enough, Link didn't disappoint the guys, and he had already started to turn the tide in his own way.

Breaking and defending, if Link can do both, it will be enough to make up for his poor shooting touch.

But Bill. Simmons knew that this wasn't Link's full body yet.

In addition to breaking through and defending, Link has many aspects of his ability to be among the top in the league.

There's more to him than that!

Link's answer sheet is far from finished.
