Anthony picked up the team's point guard Tony from outside the three-point line on the right side. Douglas's pass, Link was stuck in front of him, but Anthony didn't slow down.

He took two strides to mid-range with the ball and then took the initiative to give Link a duet. Link was pushed back by Anthony, who seized the opportunity to make a mid-range pull-out and then made a very fluid jumper!

"Damn it!" Link immediately raised his long arm to interfere, but it still seemed to be half a step slower. In the face of Link's slight interference, Anthony didn't even blink his eyes, he was extremely calm.

Link looked back, and the basketball was hollow into the net. The audience sighed, this is Anthony's 27th point in this game! And Link's score at this time was only 12 points.

"It's in again, Cameron. Anthony was in very hot form today, and he continued the hot hand of the first four games perfectly. Link's defense today doesn't seem to have much impact on Cameron, and the opponent is always a super scorer! ”

"I don't think Link defended today with a problem, but Cameron. Anthony's goal was just too unreasonable. He had a lot of goals against the defense, which made Link very frustrated on the defensive end. "Hubby. Brown shook his head, hoping that the boy's faith would not be undermined.

Immediately after Anthony's goal, Hollins called a timeout. Because with only eight minutes left in the game, the Grizzlies are already trailing by seven points.

When Link heard the timeout whistle, he waved his arms very unwillingly. He's done everything he can to defend Anthony today, but that guy just scores. Although when he trained with Kobe Bryant half a month ago, Link experienced what it means to "can't prevent it." ”

But after all, it was training, and it was different from the official competition. Link was beaten up by Anthony in an official match today, and this frustration made Link feel very uncomfortable.

"Clever Link, the last time the Grizzlies played against the Nuggets, he shouldn't have annoyed Cameron. Anthony. Once you annoy a super scorer, you can only walk around without eating in the end. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, it's not over yet, and the Knicks are only seven points ahead. It's not an irreversible gap, and the Grizzlies still have a chance. "Hubby. Brown was still defending his favorite team, and he hurried to the Grizzlies' bench, hoping that the group would find a way to win.

"Mike, continue to strengthen your breakthrough and play aggressive! Only if you can score consecutive points will your teammates get a chance! Our offense was very, very unfluid, most of our offense was individual singles, which was not allowed! You'll have to be a scoring threat first so you can create space for your teammates! Aggressive, give me aggression! ”

On the Grizzlies bench, it's different from what most people think. Lionel. Instead of criticizing Link, Hollins scolded Conley for being bloody.

Today, the Grizzlies are behind, and the main reason is not actually Link. Anthony's offense today is simply unsolvable, and there is no way to defend it. But Conley didn't sort out the Grizzlies' offense, which made Hollins a little angry. When the point guard can't sort out the offense and the team has to fall into individual singles, it's no wonder that the efficiency can be high. Anthony was serious on the defensive end today, so Link's scoring was nowhere near as easy as last time. Tony. If Allen falls into singles, the score is basically based on Meng. All Grizzlies, only Randolph's singles can be watched. But how can he stop Anthony and Stoudemire from scoring on his own?

That's when point guards need to create opportunities for everyone. Conley, however, was slow to do so.

Hollins knows that Knicks point guard Tony. Douglas is a defensive big man and a strong heavy defender.

Douglas is 1.88 meters tall, only 3 centimeters taller than Conley. But the weight is more than ten kilograms higher than Conley! As a point guard of only 1.88 meters, Douglas weighs 92.5 kilograms! Without a doubt, this is his most important weapon on the defensive end.

But even with such a big weight difference, Hollins couldn't stand Conley's inaction. So, he ended up losing his temper. NBA head coaches are a particularly emotional group that often explode on the spot when they think their team can do something but it doesn't turn out as expected.

Which NBA coach have you ever seen yelling on the sidelines?

The manager yells at the players, which is a very risky thing. Unless you're respected like Popovich, you're probably going to fall out with you.

Especially point guards, as the brains of the team, but being questioned by the head coach, is a very faceless thing.

Look at Delon and Sloane, look at Rondo and Rivers, and you can see what the head coach is to yell at the point guard.

But Conley was different, and after being yelled at by Hollins, he didn't get angry and didn't refute anything. He just kept his head down, like a child who had made a mistake, and didn't say a word.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and Link knew that it was not Conley's fault that the team was falling behind now. So at the end of the timeout and everyone was back on the court, Link leaned in and poked Conley with his elbow.

"Mike, don't worry, Coach Hollins certainly doesn't have a heart, you know who he is. It's not your fault, and I have a lot of responsibility today. But don't be discouraged, he's so angry because we need you. ”

After Link finished speaking, what he didn't expect was that Conley actually smiled lightly.

"You think I'm angry? I didn't speak, I was just thinking about how to deal with Tony. Douglas. Don't worry, Link, I'm not a woman, so I don't get angry so easily. Besides, getting angry won't solve the problem. I'll run off the ball and I'll pass you the ball. But before I do, I'll probably have to get a few points on Douglas's head. ”

Conley patted Link on the shoulder instead, and ran onto the court. Link shook his head, yes, Conley was probably a more mature person than himself.

Before crossing over, Link had read an article on the Internet that recorded a lot of bizarre NB league records.

There is one of them that makes Link remember it vividly - Mike. So far in his career, Conley has never been fouled for a technical foul.

Mike. Conley had been in the league for many seasons at the time, and he was mostly a starter, but he never received a technical foul, a foul, or ejection, even from his high school and college games.

You rarely see Mike. Conley complains that it's even harder for you to imagine Mike. Conley would yell at the referee or the opponent. He usually just shakes his head at controversial decisions and then tries to approach the referee and discuss them between plays.

In a league where a smile on the bench would result in a technical foul, Conley's record was memorable for Link.

yes, that guy is an extremely rational and calm person, and he will take care of everything. Link always felt that people underestimated this defender who had lived under the aura of others since he was a child, but now he realized that even he himself underestimated this teammate.

"The game restarted, and we don't know what adjustments the Grizzlies made, but hopefully it will work. Now they are seven points behind, and with Anthony in such hot form, the margin could reach double digits at any time! ”

End of timeout, Hubi. Brin's commentary reignited the atmosphere.

Conley controlled the ball to the cheers of the Memphis fans, and Link ran to the bottom right corner to open up space. It wasn't easy, though, because he had to put up with Anthony's trash talk while running around.

Anthony outscored Link in stats today, and he was extremely arrogant. But Link trusts Conley, and he'll turn the tide.

Conley didn't pass the ball just past halftime this time, and his eyes turned murderous. The team's offense can't open up the situation now, so he makes himself a threat first. Once you're a scoring threat, it's not hard to create space for your teammates.

Conley calls Randolph for cover, but actually confuses Doug Dallas. Before Randolph could mention it, Conley used a cross-step to kill him!

"Damn!" Douglas, although strong, has average athleticism. Once he doesn't react at the first time, it's hard for him to keep up with Conley.

Conley went inside, and the Knicks didn't have anyone to help defend him. After all, today, he didn't have any outstanding performances. Knicks players are wondering, what can a small point guard do?

Conley didn't waste the chance and scored with a solid toss.

He's important to the team and he won't let his brothers down!

"The ball went in, and Mike's breakthrough this time was very resolute! But this is still an individual single, is the Grizzlies really out of the cracks? ”

Hubi. Brown was a little worried, but Link on the court laughed heartily. It's not without countermeasures, it's the beginning of a smooth attack!
