528: Hold your breath

"Link, you've done me a terrible blow."

Conley said this to Link on April 2, before the Grizzlies' home game against the Spurs began.

Of course, with a smile. And Link could see that this time, Conley was smiling from the heart, not a perfunctory one.

Yesterday afternoon, when Link told reporters "We're not worried about Tony. Parker because we have Mike. Conley" after this sentence, the entire public opinion circle exploded.

If Link said that he could blow Parker, I guess the reporters wouldn't say anything. But he said that Conley was better than Parker, and many reporters would not agree.

After all, Conley's presence in the league has never been high enough. Paul, Parker, Deron and even newcomers like Westbrook and Irving have a presence above Conley.

Averaging 14.1 points, 6.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game, Conley's stats are really not impressive. In the contest, Conley also struggled to impress on the rounds.

As a result, Conley was criticized and despised. So much so that people thought that Parker would be able to take out Conley easily.

But at this time, Link suddenly came out to speak against the tune, and the reporters were naturally surprised.

But for Conley, Link's encouragement was very important. At least it convinced him that there were still people in the world who trusted him. Others believe that he is actually no worse than Parker, who was selected for the All-Star Game!

Direct support is much more effective than long-winded comfort. It is better to say a thousand things and ten thousand than to take a practical action.

Since Link publicly supported himself yesterday, Conley has felt a lot better. No one has ever stood up like this since that big stupid guy with glasses......

"Is it miserable? The miserable man is Parker. Today, let him see how the main point guard of the league's No. 1 team plays. Link smiled and raised his fist at Conley.

The two lightly bumped fists, and Conley suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Before the fight, Conley received a text message with the note "Stupid big guy with glasses".

The text message was simple, "Nice to see that you have a group of trusted teammates, Mike. Come on, I'll cheer you on too. ”

Conley smiled and put his phone back in the locker room. At this time, Link was already waiting for everyone at the door of the locker room. Conley stepped up and prepared to follow the king of Memphis on the expedition together!

※※※

Mike. Conley is an emotional person, and it seems that until now, he still can't forget his teammate in high school and college, the big stupid man with glasses - Greg. Oden.

Oden and Conley have a very good relationship privately, and even after entering the NBA, they hope to continue to work together one day. Bring the glory of high school and college to the professional arena.

However, it backfired. Oden, who was drafted before Durant, played in just 82 games in five seasons with the Trail Blazers combined.

Eventually, due to injury, Oden also left the professional arena after last season.

Conley was very sad about this. He naturally didn't want this inside beast to fade out of people's field of vision like this.

Of course, he didn't want his good teammates, who had been playing together since high school, to leave him like that.

But after yesterday's interview, Conley felt like he had rediscovered the feeling of playing with Oden.

Maybe Link's size isn't as intimidating as Oden, maybe his style of play isn't as strong as Oden. Even his appearance is not as rugged as Auden.

But like Oden, he's always the first to stand up and support you. In Conley's view, this is their greatest strength.

Conley, on the other hand, never disappoints his teammates who trust him!

It's not just Link, Conley decides to use his own efforts to keep the glory of the Grizzlies!

Before the game began, reporters on the sidelines approached Tony. Parker. The Frenchman is very serious, saying that the defeat in the last game has left Spurs desperate for victory. Today, they will fight to the end at the Federal Express Arena.

The Spurs really didn't plan to play with the Grizzlies, and even Popovich's old man frowned today.

On the one hand, the Spurs were only killed by the Heat yesterday, and they are holding back their energy. On the other hand, this is the Spurs' last chance to play the Grizzlies in the regular season. It was also the Spurs' last chance to win against the Grizzlies before the playoffs. The victory in this game will bring reference for the playoffs.

Moreover, all the Spurs players have not forgotten that the last time the two sides met, Link scored 44 points and won the stunner. The Spurs have been waiting for this opportunity for revenge.

Therefore, Popovich and all the players of the Spurs, will not allow defeat. At this time, the Spurs have begun to paddle to save energy for the playoffs.

But today, Spurs are bound to go all out!

"I hope to be able to continue my form and try to perform well. I know the Grizzlies' strongest point of defense is on both wings, but I don't happen to be a wing player. Therefore, I hope that I can contribute enough. ”

Parker's interview sounds fine at first glance, but there is actually some contempt for Conley.

The Grizzlies' strongest are the two wings, but the No. 1 position? Don't be afraid!

The game started quickly, and neither the Spurs nor the Grizzlies were the kind of teams that would easily change their starting lineups. So, there was no change in the starting line-ups for both sides.

Link looked at Leonard's focused eyes and knew that he was definitely not going to have a good day.

The last time the two sides met, Link scored 44 points and beat the Spurs. But since it came to the point of lore, it means that the game was not easy.

At this point, Link was ready for a tough battle.

After the referee kicked off, the first attack was won by the Spurs. The Spurs are generally very stable this year, with a record of 55 wins and 18 losses, which is also close to 60 wins.

The Spurs have proven that they can compete with the top teams in the league, whether it is offensive or defensive, they are the top presence in the league.

The Spurs' first attack was very aggressive. Parker, after borrowing Split's cover, was going to hit the basket directly.

Parker is right that the Grizzlies' two strongest points of defense are on the wing. But now, Link and Iguodala are far away from the emperor, and they can't care about it at all.

Coupled with the fact that Split pulled Gasol to the middle distance, Parker's breakthrough path was simply unimpeded.

Parker continued to accelerate and jumped for a layup. But just as the Frenchman was about to shoot the ball, Conley stabbed from diagonally behind, jumped high, and blocked Parker's space with his palm!

The son of an Olympic champion shows his physical fitness to the fullest!

As soon as Parker threw the ball out, Conley's arm slammed like a big fly swatter and knocked the basketball down.

"Mike. Conley actually finished the cap!? "Hubby. Brown was shocked, and when he came up, Conley poured Parker with a basin of cold water!

As a No. 1 player who is not very tall, Conley does not have many blocks, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability to block at all.

At least against a Parker who is also in the number one position, it can be done!

After the block, Conley aggressively grabbed the basketball. Parker was stunned, he still couldn't believe what had just happened. Why is the omnipotent self covered?

Conley quickly pushed the counter, and his pace was so fast that all of the Spurs' defenders were exhausted.

Eventually, Conley suddenly threw the ball into the air from beyond the three-point line. Everyone looked along the trajectory of the basketball, only to see Link fly up like an eagle, grab the basketball in the air, and smash it into the frame with one hand!

In the air relay, the Grizzlies welcomed the arrival of their "old friend" Spurs with the most exciting opening!

"After the steal, he quickly pushed the counterattack with an empty connection, Mike. Conley refuses to be the object of slaughter today! "Hubby. Brown also raised his arms to the cheers of the fans.

Link smiled happily and touched Conley's head. This guy has thick hair, don't be afraid!

The Spurs held their breath and tried to take out the Grizzlies, but Conley also held his breath.

When he takes off the cloak of mediocre data, you will know how good he really is.
