Link's appearance allowed the Grizzlies to turn the tide in an instant. After all, the Raptors are a fish belly team, and the fish belly has also lost the star Bagnani, so the strength is naturally not too strong.

In the case that the strength itself is not strong, Kreza, who has the potential to explode today, is still locked up, which undoubtedly makes the Raptors worse.

Without Kreza, who should the Raptors use to attack? Joey. Dorsey? That short center who is the same height as Link and can't do anything but dunk?

Amir. Johnson? That pure blue-collar worker who plays fiercely?

Or Calderón, who is almost 30 years old, and DeRozan, who is only in the second grade?

The Raptors can't even find a reliable offensive point on their lineup, and that's the dilemma they have to face right now.

So after the first quarter, the Grizzlies went from trailing by 8 points at the beginning to leading by 8 points. Link scored 5 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds, and the stats were not impressive, but his successful defense of Kreza was the most important reason why the Grizzlies were able to lead.

"I don't know if you've noticed that Link seems to be more aggressive on defense than before. He's more of a typical Grizzlies player now. ”

During the intermission of the first quarter of the game, the commentators did not talk about Rudy. Guy didn't talk about Kreza, but focused on Link.

Indeed, his pressing on Kreza caught the Lithuanians at a loss. Fighting back-to-back, the Grizzlies' main players are all very tired. I think the substitutes will dominate the game today. Link, who has set an excellent example. ”

It is not unreasonable for the commentator to analyze this, Link came off the court today in the eighth minute of the first quarter of the game. As a bench, he didn't play the full first quarter. It must be because Hollins wants him to start the second quarter as soon as he starts!

Pulling away the score at the start of the second quarter with a surprise soldier and then consolidating the advantage with a starter is certainly what Hollins had in mind!

That guy's plan is very clear, that is, to take advantage of this breath to open up the difference in one go.

Sure enough, after the start of the second quarter, Hollins made two substitutes starters in one go. Rudy. Guy sat on the sidelines to catch his breath, and the arrogant O.J. Mayo became a "substitute" again.

Tony. Allen and Link are dressed in the field, paired with Conley, Randolph and Gasol Jr. Hollins believes this lineup is enough for the Raptors to have a good drink. After the equal score difference is opened, and then replaced by Guy and Mayo, two chaotic masters, is it not easy to open the score?

As soon as Kreiza saw Link returning, he instantly became extremely nervous. Unbeknownst to Link, Kreiza has become the first NBA player to be afraid of him.

The Raptors' first offense, the old Spanish guard Calderón made a difficulty. Because neither DeRozan nor Crezza can get rid of Link and Tony. Aaron's entanglement.

Joey and Amir on the inside. Johnson is not the kind of master who can play alone in the low post. What's more, defending them is the fierce black and white bear.

Calderon wanted to attack on his own, but Mike. Conley isn't easy to mess with either. Among all the No. 1 positions in the league, Xiaoli's defense can definitely rank in the first echelon.

Five positions, all five are defensive giants. Hollins' lineup wasn't a casual one, and he had long wanted to see how much power this formidable defensive lineup could pull out.

If this lineup does succeed, defensive maniac Hollins believes it will take the Grizzlies far in the playoffs!

Well, but the top priority now is to squeeze into the top eight in the West first, and then talk about the playoffs.

As a point guard, the most embarrassing thing is not being able to find someone to pass the ball. Calderon is facing this embarrassment right now, and the Grizzlies' lineup is just too ruthless.

In desperation, Calderon had no choice but to call for the block, intending to come by himself.

It's a pity that under Conley's tough defense, the Spanish defender's throw knocked out of the frame.

At the moment when Calderon made his move, Link was already running towards the frontcourt. Although Hill's athleticism in the 09-10 season was not good, he was still much better than Kreza.

Link took the lead and ran to the bottom right corner, and Mike. Conley received a pass from Randolph and made a long pass directly from the backfield!

"Link, when did he run over!?"

With the commentators shouting, Kreiza ran as hard as she could. It's a pity that he can't keep up with the flying speed of basketball.

And just like that, Kreiza watched as Link lifted the basketball in the bottom right corner, jumped, pressed his wrist, and flicked his fingers.

Link's shooting moves are pretty standard and pleasing to the eye. On the premise of good looks, the hit rate is also very impressive.

"Brush!"

The basketball hollowed into the net and didn't even touch the basket. The Grizzlies have been missing a consistent three-point shooter, and now they have.

"A three-pointer on a counterattack, haha, the Grizzlies couldn't play this kind of offense in the past. At 11 points, the Raptors trailed the Grizzlies by 11 points. If the Raptors can't cross this hurdle, the game may end early! ”

Kreza only felt Link's power on the defensive end in the first quarter, but now, Link will give Kreza a feel for what his offense is like.

Twenty seconds later, the Grizzlies were back. Just now the Raptors' offense, DeRozan actually chose to single out Toney. Alan. I have to say, this is the stupidest decision Link has ever seen.

Sure enough, DeRozan's single offensive approach made Tony. Aaron guessed him to death. Allen contracted all the way and waited for DeRozan to make a layup. With a serious disruption, DeRozan's layup stumbled out of the box. And just like that, the Grizzlies had another chance to score.

This time, Conley played the ball to Gasol Jr. According to the original plan of the Raptors, once the black and white bears get the ball in the low post, they will immediately be trapped.

But at this time, Kreiza couldn't leave Link to wrap up little Gasol. How accurate this No. 0's empty 3 points are, he has just experienced.

As a result, Gasol Jr. easily singled Joey on the inside. Dorsey succeeded. Gasol Jr. is 2.16 meters tall and Dorsey is 2.03 meters tall. When the Spanish center hooked his hand, Joey. Dorsey had nothing to do but watch.

13 points, and the difference continues to widen.

After that, Randolph also showed his powers. Gasol won the ball again in the low post, and Amir. Johnson had to go and help defend.

So, Gasol Jr. very tacitly passed the basketball to the middle distance. Randolph, who was emptied, hit a solid shot, and this guy was waiting for this opportunity.

With a 15-point difference, the Raptors are almost crippled.

Link's appearance messed up the Raptors' defense and made the Grizzlies' offense easier. It's as if the Thunder took off directly after they had Perkins, an interior defensive tough guy.

Link and Perkins may not be absolutely strong players, but their filling in a team's biggest shortcomings is enough to make a team a big step up. Filling in the team's shortcomings is precisely the greatest value of role players.

At this time, Jane. Triano made a low-level mistake. He didn't call a timeout in time, but encouraged his players on the sidelines to take advantage of the next attacking opportunity.

Triano also lost in a hurry, and although this is his third year at the helm of the Raptors, he is still a rookie coach. At critical moments, Triano appeared to be not calm enough.

Triano was in a hurry on the pitch, but the players on the pitch were demoralized.

In particular, Kreza, as the starting forward of the Lithuanian national team, as a quasi-NBA starter with an annual salary of 5 million per year, he was actually defeated by a draft loss.

This plunged Kresza into deep self-doubt.

This negative state finally allowed Kreza to eat Link from beyond the three-point line. There's nothing deceptive about his shots, and Link has always been a hitter of the game.

Link's block to Kreza from beyond the three-point line brought the morale of the Raptors' on-court players to a low point. Although the ball still belonged to the Raptors after the block, they didn't find any more offensive opportunities until the 24-second violation.

"15 points difference, the Raptors have to withstand! If the Grizzlies continue to pull away from the score, this game will end early! You know, O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay are still on the bench! ”

The commentators are worried about the Raptors, after all, no one likes to play a game without suspense.

After the first few attacks, the black and white bears have already played with momentum. This time, they continued to ask for the ball, intending to dismantle the Raptors from the inside.

Kreiza thought about it, and finally decided to go up and down according to the tactics!

It's a pity that Gasol Jr.'s ball quotient has always been not low. He was one of the league's best playmakers and saw Kreiza lunge towards him, and he didn't think twice before he passed the ball into the bottom right corner.

Over there, Link was ready.

",!" Kreza had already collapsed, and he hurriedly turned around and pounced. 3-and-D players are like that, they don't seem to have much strength, but they can really drive defenders crazy.

Looking at the horrified expression on Kreza's face, Link didn't shoot immediately, but pointed at his feet. Meaning: "Lao Tzu is going to end you here." ”

"It's crazy!" Kreiza was thoroughly enraged, and he didn't allow a draft loser to be so offended to himself. Therefore, the Lithuanians rushed towards Link like crazy.

Link finished his shot before Kreza's interference came up, and just like before, Link's hand was extremely hot.

As soon as he threw the basketball, Kresza rushed to the scene. Because he rushed too hard, Kreza crashed into Link, and the two fell to the bench at the same time.

"Toot toot!" The referee's hurried whistle sounded, and what was even more incredible was that the basketball that was flying in mid-air was still hollow and caught!

“And one！ The goal was valid, four points were played, and Kreiza actually gave Link a chance to score a four! ”

Hearing that he was whistled for a foul and Link scored the ball, Creza immediately got up and pleaded with the referee.

The Lithuanian can assure him that it was definitely one of the most emotional nights of his career.

It's a pity that the referee turned a deaf ear to Creza's appeal. Kreza's action just now was indeed too big, and if the referee didn't blow this ball, with the personality of the Grizzlies players, the game would definitely get out of control.

"Hahaha, thank you for my wonderful biography! Well done man, you're amazing today! ”

Link was still lying in the pile of crooked chairs, but he didn't expect Mark. Gasol was the first to come up and pull his own. In the past few days, Gasol's attitude towards him has been tepid.

But after that goal, Link believes he has completely earned Gasol's trust.

Continued Tony. After Allen and Randolph, he gained the trust of a big general, and Link believes that his Grizzly Bear career will get more and more enjoyable.

After being pulled up by Randolph and Gasol Jr., Link stepped onto the free-throw line. After adjusting his breathing, he hit the ground with a free throw in the desperate interference of the Raptors fans.

scored four points, and Link widened the difference to 19 points in one go! During the period when the starters and benches were mixed and matched, the Grizzlies played a wave of 11-0 offensive climax of the Raptors!

"The Raptors finally took a timeout, and they trailed by almost 20 points. Can you believe it? When did the Grizzlies, known for their defense, actually play an offensive climax? ”

Although the narrator is talking about a question, everyone knows the answer to this question.
