After the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies bench was deadly silent. Two days ago, they had just lost at the ATT Center. And now, at the United Center Arena, there seems to be no hope for victory.

Only 12 points were scored in a single quarter by the opponent, and anyone will be hit. After a quarter, almost all Grizzlies players became "blacksmiths", which naturally affected the players' confidence.

Link gritted his teeth, feeling very uncomfortable. The Grizzlies' offense in the first quarter was strange, and the chances were out, but the Bulls were quick to get them gone. It's not that the offense doesn't work well, it's that it works, but it doesn't score in the end.

Is this going to be the way to lose to the Bulls? Is it going to be like this for two consecutive defeats? To be crushed by the Bulls for two consecutive seasons in a row?

What a few waves of jokes! When did the Grizzlies become so "docile"!?

"Cheer up, guys, the game isn't over yet! Unfortunately, we are 13 points behind. Luckily, we still have plenty of time. Hey, have you forgotten? Our goal this year is to finish in the top four in the West, to have home-court advantage in the playoffs! Let's work together, and there's nothing we can't get over, right? Link spoke suddenly, catching everyone's attention.

Link doesn't have a lot of experience with the Grizzlies, but his status is not low. Everyone knows that he is the Grizzlies' number one development target and the Grizzlies' second-leading scorer after Randolph. Even with Gay's return this year, it hasn't been able to shake Link's position.

Therefore, Link still has some right to speak.

"Link is right, we can't just surrender. Remember what the mongrel media in Chicago had to say? He said we were insignificant! They believe that one of the two best teams in the West, is insignificant. Can't be looked down on by those bastards, guys, cheer up! We played like shit in the first quarter, but we still had a chance to wash away the stench! ”

Seeing this, Randolph immediately rose up to help Link support the scene. Of course, his speech was much more harsh.

Seeing that the players were gradually regaining their vitality, Hollins struck while the iron was hot, "Listen, our ball-handling offense in the first quarter was almost wiped out by the Bulls' pressing defense. In the second quarter, I need you to increase the number of offenses without the ball and increase the number of catch-and-shoot shots. Link, run aggressively, we start playing off-ball offense with you as the main point of attack. You're feeling good today, so you're going to shoot more. ”

"Well, no problem."

"As for defense, you have to be good at man marking, and you can't let Rose find any more teammates in the open space. On Rose's side, Conley, you try to guard against his shots, and you can just go inside to defend the basket. Others, be optimistic about your own alignment, don't make up for it without permission! "Hollins had been writing and drawing for a few strokes before the electronic beep sounded.

"Hold on, if you all think you're crushed, you're really crushed!" With that saying that, Hollins pushed the players onto the pitch.

On the other side, the Bulls players looked very relaxed. Thibodeau even replaced Brewer and let Korver start the second quarter.

It seems that he wants to continue to increase his firepower and try to take out the Grizzlies in half a game.

As soon as he saw Korver, Link's fists clenched. He hasn't forgotten what Korver shot him like last season. Although in the end, Link proved that Korver only felt good and not that he couldn't defend himself, but that was not personally proved on Korver's head after all!

After a whole year of waiting, the opportunity finally came!

Thibodeau's substitution invisibly greatly stimulated Link's desire to win

"The game restarted with the Grizzlies attacking first. In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies' offense was spicy, and they didn't even play like an NBA-caliber team. After a short intermission, do you think the Grizzlies' offense will improve? ”

"It's hard," Kevin Harlan replied to his partner, "it's a problem of ability on both sides, and the problem of ability is not something that can be solved by a break." ”

However, to Harlan's particular embarrassment, as soon as he said this, Link scored. Moreover, it was a three-point shot!

On the pitch, Link suddenly came alive as soon as he passed halfway. He first cut to the basket, but when he got to the free throw line, he suddenly turned 90 degrees and jumped outside the three-point line!

Korver hurriedly followed, but the hard and black Randolph took advantage of the situation to turn sideways and stop Korver directly!

Conley then delivered the ball, and Link calmly shot before Boozer, who came up from the switch, blocked!

Catch-and-shoot and off-ball offense are the Grizzlies' offensive focus right now. As soon as Link came up, he executed Hollins' tactics clearly!

Three-point hit, Link compared three fingers, waved his arm hard, and finished!

"Well, if it's a game with Link, then, the outcome is really uncertain" Kevin Harlan immediately changed his words, Link, this guy, this is not the first time to create magic.

Wait, create magic?

Well, Link today is estimated to let Chicagoans see if his magic is insignificant.

Although he was scored by Link, the Bulls and Chicago fans still felt painless. They still have a 10-point lead, and this time it's the Bulls attacking!

The Bulls are still the same old routine, and the others move without the ball, and Rose uses his individual ability to break through. Scoring without Rose and assisting Rose with assist, this is Thibodeau's attacking approach.

But this time, when Rose encountered Gasol's block on the inside, and no one else got an open spot, Rose had no choice but to force a layup on his own.

The Grizzlies were inseparable from every outside of their game, and Link even stealthily grabbed Korver's jersey the whole time. With the Grizzlies so frantic pressing, their offense ended with Rose's layup!

Link ran forward the moment Rose struck the iron, don't underestimate Link's fast-break awareness, Hill is the one who participated in the fast-hitting whirlwind in Phoenix.

Randolph made a long pass directly in the backcourt, and the Grizzlies immediately counterattacked!

Randolph passed the ball a little bigger, and when he was about to make a mistake, Link jumped out of the bottom line and sent the ball in the air to Guy who was following the cut!

Guy cut in with the ball in the middle, and everyone thought that this guy with a strong head would lean on Lohr Deng to force the frame!

However, after Guy got inside, he sent the ball into the bottom right corner. There, Link, who had just saved the ball, was back on the field and ready to go!

"It's the breakthrough point, Rudy didn't fight alone this time, he chose to believe in his teammates!"

At Kevin Harlan's exclamation, Korver rushed to the outside as if he had made up for it. But Link didn't give him a chance, and again, Link fired from outside the three-point line! His shooting felt fantastic, just like he did in the warm-up!

Link believes that after his unremitting training, his current shooting level may be better than what Hill originally had.

Korver looked back in horror and saw the desperate image of the basketball hollowing into the net!

As soon as the second quarter came up, Link scored two straight 3-pointers, narrowing the gap to 7 points in one go!

13 points behind and 7 points behind are two completely different concepts! And Link's personal score also rose from 4 points in the first quarter to 10 points in an instant!

After scoring the second goal, Link playfully winked at Korver. He hit a three-pointer who had blown himself up with a three-pointer, and there was nothing more satisfying than that.

Korver was furious, but it wasn't written on his face. Instead, he silently said to himself in his heart, "There is no next time, there is no next time"

Link has always positioned himself as not a scorer, but that doesn't mean he can't take on the scoring role.

Today, the Bulls were extremely tight defensively, and no one else was getting a chance. So, stand up and attack it yourself!

Once you've found confidence and feel for two three-pointers, it's time to start dazzling Chicagoans.

It's time to put the things in the arsenal to use.
