The Memphis Grizzlies weren't in a reassuring situation today, and by halfway through the first quarter, the Pacers had a six-point lead over the Grizzlies.

On the commentary stage, T.NT's Jeff. Van Gundy and Chris. Webb kept quipping, "The Memphis Grizzlies are so funny about the composition of the team." ”

"Nobody wants Zach. Randolph, Mayo, who is more arrogant than talented, Gay, who wants to be a superstar, and Gasol, who is tepid...... Look at what kind of players are these players? If the Grizzlies want to make the playoffs, they should add more to their roster. Seeing that Gasol Jr.'s shot was once again deflected by Hibbert, Webb couldn't help but joke.

"Reinforcement of the squad? yes, in fact, the grizzlies did the same. They brought Link to Conseco Arena today, and hopefully the rookie signing a 10-day contract with the team can help the Grizzlies get through the storm, hahahahaha. Van Gundy's words were somewhat sarcastic.

Last season, the Grizzlies failed to make the playoffs. This year, with the roster almost unchanged, people are naturally not optimistic about how much progress the Grizzlies can make.

An out-of-gas Aaron. Iverson has been the biggest addition to the Grizzlies in recent years. Grizzly bears, like the city of Memphis, are always despised.

While Webb and Van Gundy were teasing, Daniel. A dry-pull mid-range jumper from Granger gave Rudy. Guy was caught off guard. The Pacers scored again, and the margin was stretched to eight points.

"Damn it!" Lionel. Hollins yelled, stood up, and called for a halt to the game.

If the opponent widens the margin to 10 points early, it will be quite disadvantageous for the Grizzlies. After all, the Grizzlies are a team that is good at defense, and if the defense collapses, the game will also collapse.

"There was a timeout, and Coach Hollins called a halt to the game. With all due respect, I don't think the Grizzlies can come up with any decent response. They have lost three games in a row in the last three games. The Grizzlies haven't been in great form lately, and I don't think they have the ability to come back from the ground up suddenly. ”

Webb shook his head, a belly team, that's how he defines a Grizzlies.

Link was very aggressive when the game was suspended and went all the way around. Because Hollins said that he can enter the wheel today! And now, it's almost time for the rotation.

Rudy. Guy sat down on a stool and asked the staff for towels and Gatorade. But for Hollins, who was on one knee and drawing tactics, he was absent-minded.

O.J. Mayo tilted his head, and he scored six points in the last half of the game, which seemed to make him feel good about himself. Anyway, the loss has nothing to do with him, because the Grizzlies are a "garbage team", and he just needs to take the data.

These key players can turn a blind eye and be distracted by the manager's set-up, but the same can't be true for a low-level player like Link.

Those who often watch the NBA know that when every game is suspended, when the head coach is spitting bitterly and the main players are distracted, there are always a few guys wearing training jackets, no sweat on their foreheads, and zero minutes of playing time come to the coach's side, with a conscientious attitude.

Without them, half of the manager's timeout would have been cold......

Leonane. Hollins talked for a long time, only to find that Guy didn't seem to care. Every time Guy shows this form, he turns on the pitch mode. If you're lucky, you can beat the other party to death. But most of the time, it's the grizzlies themselves who pay the price.

Hollins stopped abruptly, and then waved behind him without looking back.

"Link, get ready to play!"

Now, Rudy. Guy finally glanced at his manager. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Link looked at his teammates in surprise before squeezing over to Hollins from the outskirts of the crowd. Guy and Sam. Yang glared at Link at the same time, but Zack. Randolph stepped forward to save Link.

"Take it easy, man. Listen carefully to what the coach says, if you run in the wrong position on the field, I can't spare you. Randolph said as he squeezed Link's shoulder. Ostensibly he's "threatening" Link, but he's actually telling Guy and Sam. Poplar.

"Link is my cover."

"Listen Link, I need you to go to Daniel. Granger, I don't ask you to keep a clean sheet against him, but you can't let him take it easy and lure him inside, Zach and Mark will help you! On the offensive end, run like you did in training. If you can't make it when you have a three-point chance, I'll replace you right away! ”

Hollins casually gave Link a few words, and Link nodded solemnly. In terms of tactical execution, Hollins believes Link is better than Guy.

"Beep~~~~" The shrill buzz sounded at the scene, and the Pacers fans cheered.

At that moment, Link felt goosebumps all over his body. While with the Rockets, Link also played three games. But the appearance of being ordered at a critical moment and the appearance of garbage time are completely different feelings.

He took a deep breath, leaned over and touched the words "Rest in peace, Zike" on the side of his shoe, and stepped onto the court!

"Boy, come back!" As soon as Link took his first step, he heard assistant coach Elston. Turner shouted. Then, he noticed a burst of laughter coming from the stands.

"Huh?" Link looked back in confusion, his action just now should be very handsome, right?

"What are you doing!? I forgot to take off my training jacket! Take it off, and then relax for me! ”

Hearing Turner say this, Link realized that he had forgotten to take off his training jacket and training pants......

Yes, his first appearance with the Grizzlies was a bad one.

"Hahaha, this is probably the most embarrassing appearance I've ever seen. Link, the Chinese-American forward who signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies, was so nervous that he forgot to take off his training jacket. Lionel. Is Coach Hollins sure that such a player can really have combat effectiveness? ”

Van Gundy and Webb laughed at the podium, and on the Pacers bench, Jim. O'Brien also had a playful smile on his face.

After laughing, Jim. O'Brien didn't forget to turn his head to look at George, "I'm right, right?" He's the kind of guy who doesn't have any impact on the game at all! ”

Link was also a little embarrassed at first, but as soon as he took off his training jacket and saw the number 0 on his chest, he immediately calmed down again.

Stepping onto the court, his eyes changed. From humility and comic comparison, to incomparably fierce. Eighty percent of the people in this arena don't know who Link is or where he came from.

But as soon as they saw his yellow skin, the impression that "this guy must be weak" already appeared in the minds of fans.

Daniel. Granger thought the same thing, and today even Rudy. Guy couldn't do anything about him. Now it is useless to change to a little-known yellow-skinned rookie except to "send experience" to yourself.

But at this time, Larry was sitting in the luxury box. Bird, unlike most people in the room, narrowed his eyes and looked forward to seeing Link's performance.

Bird is one of the few 20% people who knows something about Link. He knows that this No. 0 draft loss is not an ordinary person.

"The Grizzlies offense, it's still a slow-paced offense, Conley is very steady, he's really a young point guard."

Under Webb's commentary, Conley passed half the game. Link immediately got into action, and he got to the right side outside the three-point line to meet Conley.

According to the tactics, Conley hit the ball into Link's hands. Granger didn't press Link closely, he didn't think he needed to do that.

Of course, Link can't just take the ball and go head-to-head with Granger, who is also an All-Star level player at this time.

I saw that this Chinese No. 0 hoisted the ball to Randolph who sat on the inside line, and then cut in without the ball!

"Cut!" Granger snorted, this cut was simply too easy. He was right next to Link and didn't give him room to catch the ball. Sure enough, a losing draft is a losing draft!

However, the moment Link stepped into the penalty area, he suddenly ran back and ran back to the three-point line! At the same time, Mayo and Conley also began to wander, drawing the attention of the Pacers' defense.

Randolph returns the ball to Link, who just catches the basketball from beyond the three-point line and is about to shoot!

"Carving insect skills!" Granger collapsed in two strides, and he admitted that Link's counterrun was beautiful. But such an attack could not defeat him.

Granger straightens his long arm and leaps high. There's nothing more invigorating than teaching a rookie a lesson with a volleyball hat.

However, when Granger waited for Link to shoot in mid-air, he didn't see an oncoming basketball, but the Chinese No. 0 with a ghostly smile on his face.

The last player to see that smile was called Joan. Brockman, and he's now been subdued by Link.

"Fake throw, Link actually just made a fake throw! He broke through, Granger was thrown away, the others were pinned down again, and Link's way to the basket was unimpeded! ”

As soon as Van Gundy finished speaking, Link jumped up and went to the basket. At this time, Roy. Hibbert rushed over and planned to seal the cap.

But in the air, Link, who had become lighter after the upgrade, made a lever move, avoided the block, and put the basketball into the frame. Sure, Link's lever isn't pretty picturesque, but it's practical enough.

The moment the basketball shot, Link was also directly knocked down by Hibbert. As soon as Link landed, he heard the referee's hurried whistle.

"The goal is valid, and the penalty has to be added, and Link got a three-point chance as soon as he got on the court! This...... Coach Hollins' substitution came to the fore in the first round! ”

After the goal, Link lay on the ground and waved his arms vigorously, and after being pulled up by Randolph, he looked at Hibbert through gritted teeth.

At this time, people found out that this yellow-skinned guy may not be easy to mess with. He's not a soft guy, he's a real tough guy!

A real Grizzlies player!
