As soon as the game began, Link, who was on fire, was caught off guard by the rockets.

The Rockets are still ready to slowly find their form, but Link directly kills.

D'Antoni was also a little surprised, he had seen the footage of the Grizzlies' first two games, and he also discovered Link's habit of attacking with full fire as soon as he started.

But he didn't expect that Link would dare to do the same with the rocket.

If the Grizzlies didn't open up enough points in the first three quarters, and Link was exhausted, wouldn't the victory be in the Rockets' pocket!

Link: This is simply not self-sufficient!

"Be sure to stabilize the score and don't be disrupted by the opponent's sudden attack!"

D'Antoni started shouting from the sidelines that he wanted to tackle the Rockets early? What do you think!

This time, Harden got serious, too. In the face of Link's tight defense, he was ready to respond.

Link sticks to Harden very tightly, and most players don't dare to defend Harden like this.

is not only afraid of Harden's breakthrough, but it is also likely that Harden will suddenly touch porcelain if it is too tight.

But Link did the opposite, he wanted Harden to be uncomfortable, or to disrupt Harden's rhythm.

The more you put up with it, the more Harden will have to make inches.

Harden saw that Link was so "dead" and wanted to fulfill him. So, "Hu Ziden" once again stretched out his unicorn arm and took the initiative to wrap around Link, and then raised his hand to prepare to shoot.

But Link didn't sit still, nor did he simply raise his arms to express his innocence.

He suddenly struck everything the moment Harden lifted the basketball, and then jerked his arm out of Harden's arms.

Link made a steal with ease, and Harden missed it, but instead made a mistake.

The referees didn't blow for a foul, and they all knew what Harden was doing. If Harden does succeed, it is understandable to give a foul. But if a foul is returned after Link has completed a steal, it will be a bit unacceptable.

This time, Ariza had to hug Link early to prevent Link from easily countering and scoring the ball again.

Because of the violation, the offense had to be restarted, and the Rockets finally got the chance to fight the Grizzlies in a positional battle.

D'Antoni nervously called Ariza on the sidelines, telling him to give Link more disruption and attrition anyway.

Link wants to score? Then let him pay!

D'Antoni thought to himself that as long as the attrition accelerated, Link, who was fighting back-to-back, might not even survive the third quarter.

As long as Link can't go crazy, the Grizzlies won't want to take the victory away from the Toyota Center.

Ariza did so, and he also took his defensive intensity up a notch.

Link really took over the offensive ball and didn't intend to leave room for it, and his desire to score was fully revealed.

Ariza's pressing made Link a little wary, and it was not the Rockets' style to increase the defensive intensity so quickly.

It seems that D'Antoni also knows that he wants to settle the game early.

But what's the use of knowing? Unless the rocket can stop itself, it will be all in vain!

Seeing that Ariza was sticking so tightly, Link chose to force a breakthrough.

"Don't look down on people!" Ariza puffed up his chest to withstand Link's onslaught, and this rampage couldn't break through his defenses.

However, Link suddenly grabbed Ariza's arm during the breakaway and then jumped to shoot!

"Eh???" Ariza was stunned, how did this picture seem familiar?

"Toot toot!"

Soon, the referee's whistle sounded. Trevor. Ariza fouls on defense and Link gets two free throws!

"This ......" D'Antoni was speechless, he never expected that Link would actually follow the example of Harden just now.

This is really the way of others to govern their bodies!

Ariza covered her head with her hands and defended herself to the referee. He swore in front of the referee that it was Link who took the initiative to entangle him.

But no matter how sincere Ariza is, it's useless, because the players who have been touched by Harden like this have also suffered like this.

It has always been Harden who touched porcelain Ariza eating melons next to him, but today, Ariza finally experienced the feeling of being touched.

If it was just an ordinary foul, Ariza didn't actually count too much.

But since he had already committed a foul once before in order to stop Link from counterattacking quickly.

Now for another foul, Ariza is equivalent to applying for two fouls in a row.

If nothing else, he won't be able to play the rest of the first quarter.

"Damn, that's cunning!" D'Antoni scolded helplessly as he beckoned Ariza down.

He used Eric. Gordon replaces Ariza and plays in a back three!

This lineup is often used when the Rockets need to quickly open up the difference, and the offensive firepower is still very threatening when the "double-boarding" combination is on the floor at the same time.

Now, D'Antoni had to put Gordon on the field early.

However, in this case, the Rockets' defense will be very passive.

After all, Gordon is only 1.93 meters, a full ten centimeters shorter than Link, and it is very difficult to defend Link.

So far, D'Antoni has no choice but to let Beverley defend Link.

Although Beverley is only 1.85 meters, he often does small things to prevent big things. In the Rockets' several games against the Warriors this season, Beverley has been sent to defend Durant.

D'Antoni trusts Beverley's defensive prowess, and Beverley has never let anyone down.

If you want to wear down Link with a fierce confrontation, no one is better suited than Beverley.

Link hit two free throws to continue to widen the gap. The Rockets immediately launched a counterattack, and Eric. Gordon's off-ball movement is much more agile than Ariza's.

After two off-ball screens, Gordon received a breakaway from Harden from mid-range in the bottom corner.

Harden didn't actually want to pass the ball, but Link's defense didn't give him a chance at all.

After receiving the basketball, Gordon did not shoot immediately, but took a step back.

He doesn't want a shot, he wants three points!

Under the "magic ball theory" system, Rockets players will not easily choose to shoot from mid-range.

As a result, Gordon's empty three-point shot was missed!

If he had just chosen to shoot in the middle of the shot, he might have scored. But there were no ifs on the basketball court, and Gordon missed, but there was no chance to do it again.

"It's a shame he chose to ask for a three-pointer and the ball didn't go in. The Rockets still haven't broken the scoring drought, and the Grizzlies' counterattack has come through! ”

Link didn't give the Rockets any respite, the Rockets wanted to consume Link, and Link wanted to consume the Rockets.

Think about it, if the Grizzlies were leading before the fourth quarter and the Rockets were exhausted, they wouldn't be able to put together a decent counterattack!

And Gordon missed a three-pointer in an open position, which is great news for the Grizzlies.

As we all know, the Rockets' scoring comes from three major aspects - three-pointers, baskets and free throws.

But the three-point shot is very much a feel, and if the Rockets don't feel good today, then their offensive power will be greatly reduced!

Sustained fast-paced offense, continuous impact, and accelerated consumption of the rockets are also ways to make their three-point shooting feel worse.

Link was thinking about it, but he was slammed into something while he was traveling at high speed.

When I turned my head to look at it, I realized that it was Beverly!

Although Beverley is the number one, his counter-versity ability is enough for him to be misplaced in front of the wing to defend.

Bever landed the ground, sending Link almost off the court.

I have to say that the ferocity of "Heibei" on the defensive end is indeed very rare among the No. 1 players.

Seeing that Beverley was entangled in himself, Link calmly made a sudden stop, and then started shooting from beyond the three-point line.

Beverley thought that Link would insist on breaking through to the basket, so he rushed hard.

As everyone knows, Link braked suddenly, and instantly opened up a bit of space.

Beverley's defense is really tough, but the disadvantage of height is also not to be ignored.

With space shaken out, at just 1.85 meters, he couldn't interfere with Link's shot in time.

The three-pointer that Gordon failed to shoot was scored by Link!

"Brush!"

The Toyota Center was so silent that the rumbling sound of the nets coming out of the loudspeakers was particularly noticeable.

Link hit a three-pointer, and after the opening game, he scored seven straight points to make it 7-0 for the Rockets.

Although the seven-point difference was not fatal, D'Antoni was extremely nervous.

Maybe it's because he knows that 7-0 is just the beginning.

After that, the Rockets hit two consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line, with Harden and Ryan. Anderson's three-pointers all came out of the box.

It seems that the Rockets' three-point shooting today was really not smooth.

On the Grizzlies' side, Link is scoring consecutive goals.

once forcibly punched the frame to make 2+1 on Capela's head, and once singled Beverley with his back, and ate the opponent hard with his height.

When Link easily scored that goal on the head of the 1.85m Beverley with a near-defence gesture, D'Antoni finally couldn't sit still.

This lineup was originally a loss in defense, and if the offense couldn't be opened, it would be a big trouble.

However, until now, the rocket has not yet opened!

The mustache had to call off the game, and the Rockets players walked off the court with a score of 0-11.

And the Grizzlies' 11 points were all scored by Link alone!

Mike. Brin held his breath, he had a hunch that Team Rocket's nightmare wasn't over.

The score difference may be widened!

Fans are looking forward to a thrilling game with a crucial goal, but sadly, Link may be about to let them down.
