In the last game before the All-Star break, most of the players were loose at this time. After all, it's about to be a holiday, and it's inevitable that you will be absent-minded.

At this time, star players may be wondering what to wear to All-Star Weekend and how to schedule their time for business events. And those who don't have an All-Star Game mission may wonder how to spend a cozy weekend.

But Link and Evan Turner were definitely not so relaxed at this time, and the two rookies only had basketball on their minds.

A manager who was an All-Star but had a manager who took care of everything and was not very interested in the business itself. One has been unqualified as an All-Star, but is not in the mood for a vacation at all. The two rookies collided together and became the biggest attraction of the game.

When it came time to warm up, Evan Turner was very serious. The live camera also cuts back and forth between him and Link, making it clear that these two guys are the protagonists today.

"This may be the first time in history that the Eye-Gazing Show has been squeezed out of the All-Star Rookie Game by a draft loss. I think the fact that they meet at this point in time will definitely make the game really interesting. ”

On the podium, Hubbie Brown has already begun to build momentum for the two young men.

Indeed, Evan Turner is not the most embarrassing high-pick rookie in NBA history. Once, Kwame Brown was the top pick, and he was not selected for the All-Star Game. And after him, a man named Bennett will soon follow in his footsteps.

But neither Kwame Brown nor Bennett was embarrassed to be squeezed out of the All-Star Game because of the undraft. They were replaced, in large part because other high-pick rookies were better than them.

But lost the draft? Come on, there are only a handful of undrafted players in the league who can find food in the NBA every year, let alone be selected as an All-Star. And it's so good to die, Link is still in the same position as Turner

So, Evan Turner's situation this year is very special. This whole season, he has been plagued by gossip. And this game is his best chance to break the status quo.

Before the start of the game, fans and commentators from all walks of life played up their duel extremely hot. But as soon as the game began, the embarrassment came.

For the Grizzlies, Hollins continued to play with his brand new starters. The lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, and Link plus the black and white bears has helped the Grizzlies achieve three consecutive wins. Undrafted Link continues to start, and deservedly so.

But on the other side, the 76ers sent five players, Holiday , Meeks, Iguodala, Elton Brand and Spencer Hawes, and Evanturner wore a training uniform to the bench, and he played as a substitute.

"It's a very interesting scene, the undrafted Link, who started on a better team, and the top show had to sit on the bench and watch. I think Turner must not have liked the image. ”

Hubi Brown teased, don't look at his polite appearance, this old man is very bad.

Turner knew that many cameras were filming this embarrassing scene, and he pretended not to blush and his heart was not beating, but in fact he was extremely embarrassed inside.

"It doesn't matter, starting doesn't mean it's better. Hold your breath, hold your breath. Turner kept comforting himself as he thought to himself that if it weren't for Gay's injury, Link wouldn't have been able to start.

But in reality, it's just Turner's self-deception.

First of all, before Guy was injured, Link had already pressed Mayo to the bench. Secondly, the 76ers' starting point guard, Jodimeks, as a second-round pick, lacks stability and is too short, so he is actually very unsuitable for the starting No. 2 position. But even so, Turner, who can play the second position, has never competed with him.

People comfort themselves, it's really selective blindness.

After the start of the game, Link didn't show much. After all, today, he doesn't need to score points with Anthony or save the team when his teammates are tired. So Link's scoring wasn't as strong, he was just doing his part.

Moving the ball in a timely manner, defending, opening up space, setting up covers, and Lynk works tirelessly to do all of this, and he doesn't play big just because he has played a few good games.

Link also tried to play a couple of offenses, but to be honest, Iguodala's defense put Link under a lot of pressure. For Iguodala, Link was impressed. After all, in a few years, he will become an FVP. Provided, of course, that history has not changed.

Iguodala defends fiercely and is someone who can even James stop in the future. Now Link is going to confront him, and to be honest, he is still too tender.

Although Link was defended to death by Iguodala, Iguodala did not bargain for Link.

Iguodala wasn't a scorer in the first place, and he hasn't scored much. This guy is very strange, he has the ability to be a star, but he has a heart to be a role player.

For this, the 76ers have been troubled for a long time. They really hope Iguodala can wave like the other stars.

Today, Iguodala, who is not strong in attack, meets Link, who is strong in defense, and Iguodala is even less offensive.

After six minutes, Link shot 1-of-3 and scored 2 points. Iguodala made 0 of 2 shots and swallowed the egg directly.

The Grizzlies, with Conley and Tony Allen's excellent offensive play, still gave the Grizzlies a five-point lead.

With five points trailing in the sixth minute, 76ers coach Doug Collins called a halt to the game, and he had to make some changes!

After acquiring Turner this season, the 76ers' goal is not to mess up again, but to try to get back to the playoffs and make as much of a difference as possible in the playoffs.

So, Collins won't give up any game easily. Especially this kind of game, in his own opinion, the difference in strength between the two sides is not large.

"Andrey, you don't look like you're out of shape today. Take a break, we'll need you later. Collins tapped Iguodala on the shoulder, then turned to look at Turner.

"Evan, the moment you've always dreamed of has arrived. Don't let me down, and most importantly, don't let yourself down. ”

Turner heard the coach shouting to himself and jerked to his feet.

When he first watched from the sidelines, Evan Turner didn't see how good Link was. Iguodala's defense has made Link miserable and he seems to be having a hard time getting rid of it. As for Iguodala swallowing eggs in 6 minutes, Turner doesn't think it's all Link's fault, but Iguodala has few shots and low scoring.

That No. 0 doesn't look like that!

At the end of the timeout, Turner stepped onto the court. Link also continued to play and was not replaced by Hollins. This was exactly what Turner wanted, and he was worried that his playing time would be staggered with Link's.

"Finally, the long-awaited counterpoint has appeared! Link and Evan Turner met in the number three position, and the highlight of the match finally arrived! ”

The fans cheered, it was a game for young people. The 76ers are trailing by five points, and Turner will surely make a name for himself if he can successfully help the team fight back. After all, that's how Link became popular.

The 76ers attacked first, and Zhu Holiday advanced with the ball. Turner walked up to Link, who didn't suffer much from his stature compared to Link. Moreover, Link is not the kind of macho man with perverted physical fitness.

What's wrong with an NCAA Division 2 player!?

Thinking of this, Turner took the initiative to go to the right side and raised his hand to ask for the ball, he wanted to hold the ball and hit Link!

Holiday didn't embarrass Turner and immediately hit the ball over. Subsequently, the '99 No. 1 and former All-Star forward Elton Brand was also brought up to cover for Turner.

I have to say that the players of the 76ers have already given Turner a lot of face. The 76ers take him very seriously, and the rest of the 76ers naturally want their roster to return to their college glory.

Turner secretly rejoiced, broke through with the ball, he felt like he was about to score!

However, Turner had just walked past the old man Brand, and the Chinese in the No. 0 jersey reappeared!

Link's defense was clever and he dragged straight back to stop Turner from breaking through. Turner has only shot 318 three-pointers this season, and that's while averaging just 06 shots per game. To put it bluntly, this guy's long-range pitch is better than nothing.

As a result, Link didn't have to worry about Turner's drop-back shot.

Before Turner could react, his body collided solidly with Link. After learning from Tony Allen for a long time, Link's defense has become more and more rough. Of course, on the premise of not doing dirty movements.

Being so stiffly beaten by Link, Turner's center of gravity was a little unstable. Link then took the opportunity to reach out his long arm and reach out to steal!

Sure enough, Turner's level of possession was also very average. Link felt it in just one round and Turner was very mediocre in every way.

Break through, it's not that fast. If the ball just now had Wall, Link would have been able to stop it.

Dribble, it's not so steady. Link just tentatively stretched out his hand, and it really broke off.

Turner watched as the basketball lost control and was intercepted. The Grizzlies quickly transitioned offense and defense, with Tony Allen and Conley starting from both sides.

Link calmly got on the ball, fast and accurate. Conley, who ran to the front, immediately received the basket and immediately made a layup, Holiday actively jumped up to block, but Conley dodged nimbly in the air and still scored the ball.

The Grizzlies easily counterattacked and scored, and the margin was stretched to 7 points!

Turner's mind was full of Link's performance just now, decisive blocks, precise steals, and calm assists. The excellence of this No. 0 striker surprised Turner.

Wasn't that the case just now? When you're playing against Iguodala, that guy doesn't look good!

Link gritted his teeth and continued to stay by Turner's side, looking confident.

It's not too easy to deal with Turner after Iguodala!
