305: Maybe it can be done
John. Wall and Link, the meeting of these two people, is known as the matchup between the two strongest in the 10th class.
Wall takes this game very seriously, although the Wizards have not asked Wall to produce results now, but who wants to lose every day? Indeed, the Wizards have only won 10 games so far. But Wall believes that as long as Nu works hard, it is not impossible to defeat the Grizzlies.
On the night of the game, Wall was the first player on the Wizards to warm up. It's not hard to see how much Wall takes this game. Although Wall likes to spray, he also likes to do practical things. He not only talks about it, but is also very willing to prove himself with his actions.
"It seems that this game, Link and champion John. Wall, there will be a huge spark. The Grizzlies have recently been caught up in rumors that the team is going to be sold, and I don't know if that will affect the players' performance and condition. But it's clear to me that Wall is in perfect shape today and he's going to cause a lot of problems for the Grizzlies. ”
The game hasn't started yet, and Hubbi. Brown alerted Memphis fans. In this game, don't think it's stable.
Wall had already shot several baskets before the Grizzlies players came out. Link was very surprised when he saw that Wall was already on the training ground. It's not common for the visitors to warm up earlier than the home players.
When Wall saw Link, he also stopped what he was doing, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.
From Wall's eyes, Link saw a full malice. That guy is very bloodthirsty, as if he wants to rely on this game to find the glory of being the top pick in the draft.
Instead of continuing to look at Wall, Link honestly began to warm up.
However, some people seem to be very kind on the surface, but secretly, they discuss with their teammates how to slaughter people's homes......
Before the game began, Link deliberately looked at his teammates, and everyone nodded slightly.
Wall thought he was about to face a battle, but in Link's opinion, what was about to happen was probably a massacre.
The game started quickly, and the Wizards' starters looked a lot better than the Grizzlies.
Point guard Wall, point guard Jordan. Crawford, No. 3 Nick. Young, No. 4 Kevin. Seraphim, the center is just joining the Wizards. Inside.
It's normal for this set of starters to not be competitive in the league, and there are three of them who are 10-time rookies, how much do you want them to make waves?
The referee blew the whistle, including Gasol Jr. Inside the head to win the basketball. The game officially began, and the Grizzlies embarked on their path to making a name for themselves.
The last upset loss to the Raptors put the Grizzlies under tremendous pressure from public opinion. Now, trade rumors about the Grizzlies are growing, and speculation about the team's next owner is as popular as the daily eight-o'clock slot.
Link doesn't want to see this kind of thing that will affect the team's form continue, so he's going to end it all with a big win!
Link's real opponents are the media that spread rumors!
So as soon as he came up, Link played very aggressively. He received a pass from Conley and sat directly with his back to Nick. Yang on the body, Link did not and Nick. Yang plays false, and when he comes up, he plans to play singles with his back!
Nick. Young's mobility and physical condition actually have the potential to be a good defender. But it can't be helped, this thing has always been only interested in scoring, and the motivation on the defensive end has never been high.
What's more, Nick. As an offensive perimeter, Young's defensive back-to-back singles skills are even worse. With little to no hindrance, Link pushed to near the free-throw line and then easily rolled over and made a jumper.
Nick. Young reacted half a beat slower, and after experiencing a confrontation with Kobe, he came back to play Nick. Yang, Link simply felt that the difficulty had dropped a lot in an instant.
"Brush!" As soon as the game began, the beautiful "notes" emitted by the Nets' tumbling gave the Wizards a slap in the face! Nick. Young's defense was so hard to describe that it basically didn't put any pressure on Link.
Wall shook his head, if only he could have a Tony. Aaron, how nice would that be......
The first goal, Link deliberately played by himself, after all, he wants to lead by example. Use practical actions to bring the enthusiasm of others.
And in the next defensive round, the Grizzlies' enthusiasm was fully revealed.
Yesterday, Link discussed with everyone that it was actually very simple, that is, I hope everyone will block Wall's passing routes more on the defensive end and prevent him from mobilizing the whole team's offense. Of course, for this reason, Link organized everyone to watch a lot of Wall's game footage and study his passing habits.
After all, the Grizzlies and Wizards don't meet a few times a season, and the two sides are not familiar with each other. In this case, it is very necessary to study the video.
Averaging 8+ assists per game in his rookie season, Wall's big-picture and passing vision is terrifying. But if you actively seal the passing route, even Wall can't deliver the ball again and again.
Wall is fast and sharp. But in reality, he's a more traditional point guard. Wall's shooting has been very average, shooting less than 30% from three-point range last season, and even less so this season. So far, he has only made more than 20 three-pointers and only hit 2 of them......
So, as long as you contain Wall's breakthrough and cut off his passing lane, Wall will be much less powerful.
Forcing Wall to make a few mistakes, Wall's mentality will naturally change. The more anxious he is at that time, the better it will be for the grizzly bears.
Wall walked outside the three-point line and calmly controlled the ball. He didn't know that the Grizzlies had set a net for him, he just found that the Grizzlies' defense seemed to be very tight!
This tightness does not mean that the defensive position is contracted, but everyone sticks to their own position very tightly, and others can't run tactics at all!
Wall paused outside the three-point line and waited for his teammates to move. But seven or eight seconds passed, and Nick. Yang and Jordan. Crawford was stunned that there was no room to make a fuss.
Nonsense, and don't look at who is defending them. Link and Tony. Aaron, how can he be thrown off so easily.
Seeing this, Wall had no choice but to call for blocking, he wanted to attack the frame by himself!
Wall's biggest weapon is his speed, and as long as he can't keep up with the first shot, then you can basically just watch him make a successful layup.
This time it was like this, after borrowing cover, Wall's calf kicked the ground suddenly, and the whole person seemed to be "catapulted"!
Conley really couldn't keep up, but instead of rushing, he quietly moved in the other direction.
Wall slotted into the box and thought it would be an easy goal. As everyone knows, Gasol Jr. and Link also shrank under the basket, waiting to "catch birds".
Wall wasn't stupid, seeing Link under the basket, he almost reflexively passed the ball to Nick. Poplar. Defensively, his teammates may not be of much help. But on the offensive end, Wall still trusts the guys around him.
Just when Wall thought he was about to pick up an assist, Mike. Conley suddenly stumbled to Nick. In front of him, in the stunned expressions of the Wizards players, he intercepted the ball halfway and made a successful steal!
"Hey, nice job." Link smiled, Conley deserves to be one of the representatives of high basketball IQ. Yesterday I talked about it casually, and Conley will be able to understand it thoroughly today.
Link's plan was like this, if Wall broke through, then someone had to shrink to defend. After all, Wall's finishing rate under the basket is still very high. But if it shrinks, it will inevitably leave a gap. Therefore, Link and everyone's plan is to let the person who was thrown away quickly make up for it.
In this way, it can both prevent Wall from scoring and induce him to pass. A double defensive trap, so to speak!
So just after Conley was broken through, he approached Nick directly. Yang, the steal is so easy to get your hands on.
The villain's plans are often very ingenious. It's just that in movies, decency can always turn decay into magic.
But this is a basketball court, and there is no protagonist aura here.
"Wall made a mistake on the first pass, and the Grizzlies' defensive skills can be seen! Conley is pushing fast, what will he do? ”
Conley carried the chasing Wall into the box, but after the jump, he sent the ball out of Wall's waist and targeted the bottom right corner!
Wall hurriedly looked in that direction, and he didn't know if he didn't know, and he was half frightened to death.
Link didn't know when he had been ambushed there, and at this point, he was unmarked in the bottom corner!
Nick. Poplar? The guy was standing next to Wall, staring at Link with his trademark black question mark face.
Conley's breakthrough just drew a shrink chase from everyone on the Wizards. Yang is no exception. Therefore, Link was ignored.
In Wall's desperate gaze, Link calmly made a three-point shot in the bottom right corner. As the three-point champion this season, Link's three-point shooting has been very solid, not to mention the absolute vacancy.
After continuing the back-to-back single, Link scored again! This time, it's still a three-point goal! 5-0, the Grizzlies gave the Wizards a dismount as soon as they came up, allowing them to see the gap.
Wall is already trying to rush Nick. Yang spouted, but thought that it was a teammate, so he endured it.
As everyone knows, Nick. Yang was the first to complain, "Be careful with your next pass, John." ”
Wall: "??? ”
The wicked sue first!
Looking at the Wizards' loose defense and not too tacit offense, Link secretly swung his fist. Maybe the Holocaust plan can really come true!
