635: Boy, look at that pennant
Link's layup shattered all illusions between Davis and the Pelicans.
Defeat the Memphis Grizzlies at Federal Express Arena? It's not an easy thing to do.
The second quarter had just begun, and the seven-point gap was closed. So what about after that? How much will the difference be widened?
"Bag clip! We must also wrap him up as soon as possible! Tony. Allen is negligible on the offensive end, so let's take a trap on Link next! ”
Monty. Williams roared loudly from the sidelines, and the pull-up layup that Link had just dodged Davis had already given Monty a layup. Williams saw the gap between Link and the others.
Pure one-on-one defense, even if Davis defends, is difficult to limit Link.
You don't know what's going to happen next, and what's even more scary is that no matter what he does next, he's going to score.
Therefore, Williams needs to wrap the clip. Link can only be restrained by means of a bag clip.
Davis listened to the head coach's arrangement, and a sense of frustration instantly filled his body. In just three rounds, he's proven to be unable to defend Link in one-on-one.
At first, Davis thought he and Link could blow each other up. But it turns out that there is no mutual explosion at all, and he can only let Link slaughter him.
But on second thought, though now you have to rely on the bag to restrain Link. But as long as you can win the game, it's all worth it.
As long as he can win, Davis doesn't mind what method the team uses.
And just like that, the internode break time ends. To the cheers of Grizzlies fans, the defending champions, who had just equalized for their team, were back in action.
In the first quarter of the game, it was as if the Grizzlies were just warming up. After the second quarter was serious, the situation was reversed in an instant!
Davis moved his arms and shoulders, but when he looked up at his rival, he was dumbfounded.
To be exact, the whole pelican was dumbfounded. They didn't expect the grizzly bear to change again so soon!
"The Grizzlies made another substitution, and Coach Jogle used Nick. Young replaces Tony. Aaron, this change is very sudden, it seems, are they trying to increase the offensive firepower? ”
Monty. Williams looked confused, Nick. Yang came up, didn't the bag and clamp tactics go to waste!?
Could it be that my own arrangements have been guessed by the other party!?
Joggle turned his head to look at the other half and saw Monty. Williams smiled slightly as he looked surprised.
Indeed, he is not much of an offensive specialist. A lot of the Grizzlies' offensive routines are even his assistant Quinn. Designed by Snyder. But when it comes to the defense he's good at, Joggle is full of confidence.
As a defensive coach, he's just thought about it. If he runs into a Pelican situation, he's Monty. What Williams will do.
So, based on his own conjecture about the Pelicans' defensive layout, he made a change in offensive strategy.
Just now Monty. Williams's surprised expression seemed to have guessed right.
Jogel sat back down on the bench with peace of mind, his job done. Next, it's up to Link.
Phil. Jackson is great because he can create space for Kobe Bryant and Jordan with a triangle offense. The rest is up to Kobe and Jordan themselves.
Joggle finds himself in a bit of a "Zen master" mentality, opportunities are created, and the rest is left to watch the stars perform.
After the game restarted, the Pelicans still did not score. This time, Davis' jumper from the outside was solidly interfered with by Link. If Davis continues to dodge like this, his efficiency will definitely plummet.
Not being able to score first after returning from a pause is a very demoralizing thing.
The Pelicans are now a little discouraged, and they only have the haze of losing again and again since the start of the second quarter, and they have long forgotten the glory of the last game that defeated the Heat.
Monty. Williams saw Conley advancing with the ball, and finally waved at the players, signaling that he would still carry out Link's plan!
Nick. Yang's touch doesn't have to be there at all times, he's a nerve knife player. So, Monty. Williams decided to take a gamble.
Link had just received the basketball and was ready to confront Davis when Aminu caught it.
With the interference of the two "gibbons", Link did not panic, but calmly passed the ball to Iguodala.
Iguodala catches the ball, Eric. Gordon quickly stepped over to fill in. And so it goes. The one that was missed became Nick. Yang too.
Iguodala's passing vision is also very wide, and when Gordon runs in front of him, Iguodala sends the ball to the open space as soon as possible.
Nick. Yang didn't pass the ball anymore, but shot directly! He was the only player to make the main rotation last season and never provided an assist to Link. It's impossible to pass the ball, it's impossible in this life.
Monty. Williams's heart is in his throat, whether the bag and clamp tactics can succeed depends on this ball!
The basketball eventually slammed into the front of the basket and bounced high. Just Monty. Williams was about to throw his fist in celebration, but the basketball fell again in the direction of the basket.
"No....... Not ......"
"Brush!"
Basketball into the net, Monty. Williams' face turned pale, as if he had just been on a roller coaster.
Nick. Yang hit a three-point shot, and he felt hot today! If you don't want him to score 9 points in a minute, don't go for it!
"Link is always able to handle the ball in the right way when facing a bag, which is really commendable. Although this goal was not a direct assist from Link, his first pass was very timely. The Grizzlies are up by 3 points, and the Pelicans seem to be a little overwhelmed. ”
"It's strange that they can parry, annoying the top 50 superstars of the new season, and the Pelicans are waiting to cry." O'Neal's mentality has completely changed now, and at first, he wanted to watch Link and Davis face off.
But for now, O'Neill is only looking forward to Link's performance. Davis is indeed very talented, and if nothing else, he can surely grow into a superstar. Can you fight against Link? He's still far from it.
The Pelicans are a little flustered right now, they can't find an effective way to score, so they have to try it out for everyone.
This time, it was Holiday who tried it. His beautiful breakaway allowed him to tear apart Conley's defense, and his clever high-throw layup allowed the basketball to get past Gasol's "European fortress".
But unfortunately, the basketball was not far from the target after wiping the board, and finally missed the target.
If you're playing an NBA2K game right now, it's time for all five Pelicans to have that cool blue marker on their feet. From the beginning of the second quarter of the game to now, the Pelicans haven't scored a point!
"It's too difficult, Holiday just attacked too hard. The Pelicans must be careful now that they can't let the Grizzlies score again. Once the Grizzlies hit an offensive high, they're out of control. No, the Grizzlies are now on a 10-0 run...... The pelicans are blessed. ”
Davis is very nervous right now, and he doesn't know what Link will do next. Before he knew it, Davis had been completely dominated by Link and completely fell into Link's rhythm.
Link cruised beyond the three-point line, and Davis nervously followed. This time, the Pelicans didn't dare to wrap it up again.
"AD, do you see the dome of the Federal Express Arena?" Link was talking to Davis as he ran.
Davis ignored, he just wanted to concentrate on defense.
"See that championship pennant? I snatched it from LeBron. You've only defeated my men, so you can't beat me too! I'm a champion! ”
Link didn't care if Davis responded or not, and he didn't need Davis to respond to him anyway. He just had to make sure that Davis could hear what he was saying.
Davis, as a champion, naturally heard a lot of trash talk last season. But none of them will overwhelm him like just now.
"I'm a champion."
After Link shouted these words, Davis instantly felt that Link was a "god" high above. If you want to defeat him, there is no possibility.
Link quickly cut in after squirting trash talk, and Davis followed up half a beat slower.
Mike on the move. Conley saw Link's gesture and threw the ball into the air.
Everyone's eyes followed the basketball, and when they looked up, they saw that the lights were a little harsh.
Soon, a sturdy figure obscured the glare of the lights. He held the basketball with one hand, and the basketball looked like a sun in the light.
Under the "sun" is Anthony, who has no love. Davis, he can't do anything about what happens to him.
"Boom!"
Everyone stood up, including . T threesome.
Davis saw a crowd at the scene, and saw Conley excitedly yelling at Link and bumping him into the chest.
But Davis found himself hearing nothing, and the dunk just now completely shut down all his illusions of victory.
Only one voice echoed in Davis's head, "I'm a champion." ”
