The Raptors' "dumpling-packing" defense made it hard for Link.

Facing two athletic forwards and a tall arm-length rim guard at the same time is a tighter pack than a normal bag.

Link then began to try to pass the ball in the bag, but it didn't work well. It's not that Link's passing is not good, it's that after Link passes the ball, his teammates don't hit the ball well.

Conley and Iguodala's back-to-back three-pointers made the Raptors' bag more decisive and ferocious.

Link was exerting his energy vigorously, but he couldn't close the score for the Grizzlies.

Halfway through the first quarter, Joggle reluctantly used Nick. Young came on for Iguodala and hoped to help Link from beyond the three-point line.

However, today, "Yang Shaoxia" does not seem to be in the state. As a "twitch" you're enjoying Nick. When Yang brings benefits to the team after his outburst, he must also accept the negative impact that he has on the team when he has a bad hand.

The Grizzlies couldn't shoot their three-pointers today, and Link struggled with DeRozan, Gay and Valanciunas.

The Raptors, on the other hand, are the opposite of the Grizzlies, who are very efficient, and even Guy has been a rare player. Today, DeRozan, Lowry and Guy are very closely connected, and because of the Grizzlies' poor shooting rate, the Raptors have counterattacked a lot of times, so most of the shot options are more reasonable, and the shooting rate is naturally high.

The Raptors, who originally had no sense of existence, were stunned to plunge the Federal Express Arena into fear, and after a season, even the strongest team had times when the gutter overturned.

Even the 1996 Bulls, who were omnipotent, suffered from the underdogs.

It is worth mentioning that the Toronto Raptors, who were just established that year, were members of the team that defeated the 96 Bulls. That year, the Raptors only had 21 wins, including one defeat to "God".

Countless Canadian fans are excited at this time, maybe this time, the Raptors can perform miracles again like the Bulls in 96!

After the first quarter, the Raptors went into the break with an 8-point advantage at 28-20.

Beat the Grizzlies by eight points in the first quarter, which is undoubtedly a very remarkable achievement. Just the Raptors' final whistle shot in the first quarter, if it weren't for Terrence. Rose's three-pointer came out of the box, and the Grizzlies were about to fall behind by double digits.

Guy put his arms around the shoulders of his two younger brothers and smiled very happily. There is no team that cannot be beaten, not even the number one in the league!

"The Grizzlies played so passively today, and they collectively forgot about their crosshairs in Indianapolis. Link created a lot of opportunities for others, but there were just too few for them to take advantage of. ”

Hubi. Brown is also nervous now, he didn't expect the Raptors to play so well today.

It's true that even the strong teams have their gutters when they capsize. But it would be a shame if the Grizzlies' undefeated golden body was destroyed so easily at the hands of the Raptors.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' problem is very obvious, and that is three-point shooting!

As long as the three-point shooting problem can be solved, the Grizzlies can get back to their rhythm. The Raptors played a lot of counterattacks today, most of which were Grizzlies three-point misses, allowing the Raptors to get long rebounds and easily counterattack.

So as long as you can shoot three points, all problems will be solved.

Link sat on the bench and seized every second of his break. Eight points is a hurdle, and it would be good if we could get it back in time. But if the point difference continues to be widened, then the game will be completely into the rhythm of the Raptors.

Joggle also had a lot of headaches, and there were some issues that couldn't be solved tactically. No matter how good the tactics are, but the player's last blow is not to shoot, even if the great coach comes, it is useless.

The Grizzlies didn't just get a chance, and Link's breakaway shot created a lot of open shots, but the low shooting percentage didn't let the chances turn into points.

Nick. Yang, Jimmy. Butler, Tobias. Harris and other substitutes, Jogger has also tried, and the effect is very average. Nick. Yang can't exert his power if he can't draw it, and as for the latter two, they are not shooters in the first place.

Now, the Grizzlies are left with only one last pick. But he didn't get any chance to play in the previous games, so if you send him on the field, there must be a risk.

But today, whether he was ready or not, Jogger had no choice but to let him try.

"Mike, you started in place of Iguodala in the second quarter. When Link gets trapped, I want you to take your chance! ”

After Jogle finished speaking, a white man with long hair stood up and took off his training clothes.

He didn't ask much, he didn't say much. Instead, he silently pressed his leg and jumped on the spot twice. His every move reveals two words, maturity and career.

Five years later, fighting again for the Federal Express Arena, everything is wrong. But the goal is the same - to win.

Mike. After a brief warm-up, Miller turned his head and winked at Link, "Don't worry, Link, I'll try my best to get it." ”

For some reason, Link suddenly felt relieved.

※※※

Mike. Miller, a name that has not played many roles in the history of the NBA.

He was the Rookie of the Year in 00-01, the Sixth Man of the Year in '05-06, and the hero of the Heat's championship in the 11-12 season.

Even though the honor is riddled with honor, many people still have a lot of interest in Mike. Miller wasn't impressed. After all, he was never the main character.

When winning the best sixth man in the 05-06 season, the main role of the Grizzlies was Gasol, who averaged 20+8+4 per game. In the 06-07 season, Gasol played only 59 games due to injuries, and Miller was called upon to take on the role of offensive core, averaging 18.5 points per game. But because the Grizzlies didn't make it to the playoffs in the end, he still didn't get much recognition and attention, and he rubbed shoulders with the identity of the protagonist here.

By the time he won the championship in 2012, Miller had gone from being a rookie of the best to a 30-year-old veteran. At that time, he was no longer the backbone of the alliance.

Although he has never been a protagonist, Mike. Miller didn't care. He may not be the protagonist, but he will fight to the end of the team to win. He'll try to take every three-point opportunity and turn it into a strength for the team.

Until now, Mike. Miller is still the Grizzlies' all-time player with the most three-point attempts, and this is his home court!

However, even Grizzlies fans, many are unaware of this record, let alone Raptors players.

When the three-point champion at the Federal Express Arena came back online, they didn't even feel the danger approaching.

"The Grizzlies were replaced with Mike. Miller, they're clearly looking to improve the team's three-point situation. Link played at the beginning of the second quarter, which shows that the Grizzlies are really embarrassed. ”

Hubi. Brown introduced Miller in just a few sentences, and no one believed that a guy who was almost 34 years old and had a serious deterioration in athleticism could do Link a lot of help in front of the flying Guy and DeRozan.

But Link didn't think so, and he felt inexplicably relieved when Miller winked at him.

Miller seems to be the patron saint next to Link, and as long as he sees him beside him, Link is not afraid of being knocked down by his opponent.

Although they haven't been with Miller for long, they were still rivals in the finals last season. But through the limited time he got along, it was not difficult for Link to find the maturity in Miller.

On his first day with the team, he would bring small gifts to each of his teammates. He can talk to everyone and get along with everyone. He never slacks off on the training pitch because he is a veteran, even as hard as a young player.

His unique mature temperament is inexplicably reassuring. In the dark, Link always felt that Old Miller was the turning point of this game!

After the start of the second quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead. On the Raptors' side, the strategy was the same as in the first quarter.

Guy led the whole court to defend Link, and Valanciunas easily didn't stay away from the basket. DeRozan kept his distance from Miller while watching out for Link's breakaway.

Once Link accelerates into the box, the three-man bag will soon form!

Link didn't test the Raptors much either, and in the first round, after he took the basketball, he went around Randolph's cover and plunged inside.

Guy quickly got rid of the pick-and-roll, stretched out his long arm to delay Link, and didn't allow him to sprint comfortably.

Valanciunas immediately moved sideways to the basket, as if a mountain was standing in front of the basket.

DeRozan didn't hesitate to leave Miller behind, and the Grizzlies couldn't change a bunch of main players. Miller, why are you afraid?

Hubby on the commentary platform. Brown closed his eyes, and once again he was rough and clamped, and Link would definitely fall hard!

At the moment when the encirclement was formed, Link used a hook-like action to pass the basketball from the crowd to the outside of the three-point line.

Everything is so familiar, the packs, the passes, the openings...... This drama played out countless times in the first quarter, but most of the time, the ending ended in iron.

Mike. Miller received the basketball, and the familiar feeling instantly ran through his body.

Why did he fly from Miami to Memphis? One is because the Heat want to clear the space, and Miller can't keep it. The second reason is that Miller still wants to play at a high level and support the greatest players!

Previously, he considered the greatest player to be James. But now, it's Link.

Let me take care of you, boy!

Mike. Miller made a decisive move, without even a second of hesitation. He spent his prime in Memphis, the longest-serving team Miller has played.

Now, it's time to tell the world that the three-point king of the Federal Express Arena is back!

"Mike. Miller made a three-point shot, did he have it this time? Entered! Finally in, Mike. Miller kills with one hit! The Grizzlies finally broke their scoring drought, and the Raptors finally paid the price from beyond the three-point line! Mike. Miller played a role as soon as he came on the pitch and he deserved to be one of the best scorers in the league! ”

Hubi. Brown and the fans cheered, cheering for a fringe man on the bench.

Miller smiled slightly after the goal, this feeling ...... It's familiar. Five years ago, he was doing this every day in Memphis. Now, nothing has changed.

Miller quickly began to retreat, and on the way back, he glanced at Link and winked at Link again.

Link laughed, he knew that old Miller could be trusted.

Do the Raptors want to topple the league like they did in 1996? From now on, it's impossible.
