Bogut was quite proud of his first-round defense, and Mark Murphy was proud of his first round defense. Jackson wants to change the Warriors' defense, and Bogut is undoubtedly the most important part of that. But last season, Bogut came to the Bay Area with a season-reimbursed injury. To put it bluntly, I didn't fight a game after arriving at the Warriors.

Therefore, last season's trade did not have any impact on the Warriors.

But this year, when Bogut made a comeback, Mark . Jackson believes the Australians can take the Warriors' defense one step further.

Judging by the first fight and the round just now, Bogut did it.

6-0, Mark. Jackson couldn't think of a better start than that. Trading Ellis not only in exchange for Bogut, but also to correct Curry and Thompson.

Jackson is a big fan of Curry and Thompson, and he is adamant that Curry is a core player, and he once praised Klay as the greatest shooter of all time.

Next, if the Grizzlies don't score again. Mark. Jackson believes that the rookie coach across the street should call a timeout.

I lost so badly last year, and this year I suddenly experienced the feeling of being able to suppress the other party, which is so cool!

Facing the Warriors' defense again, Link was more cautious. Stevens was right, he was being targeted everywhere now. With Bogut's lateral speed, he couldn't have rushed back to the box so quickly. It can be seen that Australians have been staring at themselves for a long time.

Link tried to stay calm, and the more anxious he was to score, the more he fell for Bogut's trick. Why did Bogut spew trash talk just now? Isn't it just to irritate Link?

So this time, Link didn't break through or call for cover after taking the ball, but leaned on his back, as if he wanted to single Barnes.

But no one noticed, Mike. Conley had already borrowed Randolph's off-ball cover to run outside the three-point line. Conley hasn't been a scorer, so the Warriors don't have a lot of tight defense against him. The Warriors' attention was all on Link, and it wasn't until Conley received the ball and was in the open space that Mark Brown. Jackson only found out that Curry was leaking!

Curry is not unstoppable, but his body is indeed too thin. was put in Randolph's first gear, and he was directly thrown away, and he couldn't squeeze it out.

Conley fired decisively at the top of the arc outside the three-point line! Mark. Jackson thought his defense was successful, and in his opinion, as long as Link was not allowed to open up, the rest of the Grizzlies would not be able to kill the game.

However, Conley's three-pointer went hollow into the net, leaving Curry covering his head in chagrin.

A guard who shoots more than 36% of three-pointers every year except for his rookie season can't just let it go!

"It's okay, continue to defend according to the original plan!" Mark. Jackson was also a little angry, but still wanted to bet on Link. The rest of the Grizzlies' offense may not be as good as Curry and Thompson.

Link was happy to mention an assist, but his ears were still unclear.

"What? Started hiding? Aren't you going to dunk on my head? Didn't plant! Bogut continued to babble in Link's ear, and the thing was a big mouth.

Fortunately, Link had been mentally prepared for a long time, so he still didn't get angry much. Now that the score is 3-6, he should be happy.

In the next round, the Warriors were still playing Curry's strategy of holding the ball and blocking and pick-and-roll. This time, Conley and Gasol Jr. directly switched defenses after being blocked, and Gasol went to delay Curry.

Seeing this situation, Curry broke through directly, and talked about speed in a small fight, and Curry was able to throw Gasol a few streets.

Curry, determined to save his career, managed to wipe Gasol past Pau and went straight to the basket. But just as Curry was about to make a layup, the difficult No. 0 popped up!

"Damn!" Curry didn't expect Link to be so active in the defense, and he deliberately looked at his teammates just as he was on the march, when Link was still by Barnes's side. Otherwise, Curry would have shared the ball a long time ago.

But when he burst in, Link also "teleported" from Barnes.

Faced with Link's long-arm block, Curry had to hurriedly throw the board high.

A high-toss layup is the secret of Curry's scoring in the restricted area with his thin body. This layup is extremely difficult to block and can also minimize the disadvantage of physical confrontation. When Link's rookie season confrontation ability is not strong, he also likes to use this trick.

But this move is not a panacea, because it is a high throwing board, so the requirements for hand feel and accuracy are extremely high. In terms of feel, Curry must have no problem, but being suddenly interfered with by Link, Curry's accuracy on this ball is a little less interesting.

In the end, the basketball came out of the box, and Link used his enthusiasm to thwart Curry's small and big chances!

While the Warriors' defense had not retreated, Link passed the ball to Iguodala who had already plugged in without waiting for the landing when he jumped up to grab the board!

Iguodala is athletic and is definitely a sharp knife in the transition attack! And compared to Tony. Allen, Iguodala has better offensive stability.

The strong Iguodala received the pass and ran all the way, leaning on Thompson to hit the basket and hit a tough layup! Anyway, he used to be the leading forward of the 76ers, and Iguodala played this kind of ball with ease!

"Damn!" Mark. Jackson looked at the score, 5-6. In an instant, the Grizzlies were only 1 point behind!

And during this period, Link didn't get a penny. He used his passing, defense and rebounding to help the team recover the score. Mark. Jackson couldn't help but start to doubt his strategy, and let the Grizzlies attack, is it really okay?

"Link's passing was so accurate that he had a passing route in his head while he was still grabbing the rebound. is worthy of being the only player in the league who can average 20+5+5 data per game except for LeBron last season. With only one point left, let's see what the Warriors do next! ”

After calming down, the local commentators in the Bay Area also found that the situation was actually not so optimistic. In the last game, the Clippers chased for so long and didn't fill the difference, why? Because the grizzly bear is stable!

No matter how the opponent plays, the Grizzlies will follow the plan one by one. With these few shots, the Warriors began to be unstable, so the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to close the score.

If they want to defeat a team at the level of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors will have to work harder.

Link was still diligently standing in front of Barnes, and he wasn't impatient because he hadn't scored a single point yet. It's useless to just take the data, Westbrook will average a triple-double per game in the future, and won't be sprayed by the fans.

Data + victory is the embodiment of the star's ability. And in Link's view, the victory is even greater than the stats.

Barnes was also depressed, scoring only six points in his last NBA debut. For a rookie with 6 points in a single game, is it necessary for Link to guard so tightly?

This time, Curry was entangled by Conley, and Thompson was tortured to death by Iguodala. Seeing that the Warriors' offense was stalling, Curry handed the ball to David in time. Plum.

As a former All-Star forward, David. What Li is famous for is his gorgeous attack. After Ellis left last season, David Lee, who averaged 20.1 points per game, was the Warriors' leading scorer.

But this time, David. Before Li Qiu could hold it firmly, he was taken away by his former teammate Randolph!

When David. When Lee was in the Knicks, he was just a little brother by Randolph's side. At that time, Randolph was a bastard, David. Li didn't dare to talk to him.

Now a lot has changed on both sides, David. Lee also considered himself no worse than Randolph.

But Randolph grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, "Ginger is still old and spicy!" ”

Although David. Lee dropped the ball, but the Warriors didn't completely lose possession. David. Lee bent over desperately and slapped the out-of-control basketball to Harrison. In the hands of Barnes.

At this point, there was not much time left for the 24-second attack. Barnes' only option was to shoot, and he did.

But the moment Barnes shot, Link arrived from the side, straightened his arm, and fanned the basketball that Barnes had just thrown out!

Barnes couldn't have been frustrated, his first chance to score of the game was gone!

"Link again! After supplementing Curry, this time he arrived in time to block Barnes' shot. Link knew that Barnes would rush to shoot when he was short on time, and he ate the rookie to death! ”

When Link landed, he patted Barnes on the shoulder, "Welcome to the NBA, man." ”

Damn, finally say that!

Basketball is out of bounds, and the ball still belongs to the Warriors. But there are only 1.4 seconds left for the Warriors to attack.

The Warriors serve the sideline ball and can face the Grizzlies' tight defense. Li couldn't pass the ball for a while. In the end, he could only hastily pass the ball to Curry before the violation.

Curry was waiting for the ball and was about to receive the ball, but Conley, who judged accurately and was extremely positive, "snatched love" with a knife and successfully stealed!

"Conley broke the ball, did the Grizzlies fight back!?"

Conley stumbled a little on his feet because he had just rushed too hard. If you don't play the ball, you will fall down with the ball.

So, Conley passed the ball the moment it was broken. This time, it was Link who received the ball, and he was always in the right place at the right time!

Link ran wildly with the ball all the way, and the Warriors players were surprised to find that Link seemed to be a lot faster than last season!

Barnes worked hard to keep it out, hoping to get a shame. But Link made a smooth back turn in the middle of the march and passed Barnes!

"Superb technology! Not all small forwards in the league have this kind of dribbling technique! ”

The local Bay Area commentators were so fascinated that they even praised Link.

Barnes was passed, but not without contribution. At the very least, he forcibly slowed down Link's breakthrough. While Link and Barnes were tangling, Bogut had already dragged his heavy body back into the box.

Now, Bogut and Link are neck and neck, and both are rushing to the basket. Bogut thinks that his opening defense should be enough to deter Link.

However, the truth is that Link directly ignored Bogut and jumped up!

Bogut jumped along, but athleticism has never been Bogut's strong suit. In terms of bounce and speed, he is much worse than Link.

Bogut is a defensive stalwort, but that's only in positional defence. Once the attacker rushes up, Bogut's weakness is infinitely magnified. He may be one of the few centers in the league whose screens can be made into highlights.

Link pressed Bogut and slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand. After the dunk, Link, who spread his legs, also inadvertently showed a posture of riding on Bogut.

The Australian quit and shoved Link while he was still hanging on the frame!

Link landed on the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and stopped the game!

After landing on the ground, Link was not afraid of the vicious Bogut, but smiled and said to him, "Spit the dummy, baby!" ”

"Say it again!" Unbeknownst to him, after hearing this, Bogut became even angrier, and rushed up to attack Link.

What about Link? Didn't dodge, still smiling. So, let Bogut push himself. The scene got out of control in an instant, and the players and referees on both sides twisted together.

Well, now that the conflict has escalated, Link believes that Bogut should eat T.

The word "dummy" in Australian English is also the American word for "pacifier", which means pacifier. So the phrase "spit the dummy" is very vivid, which means "the child spits out the pacifier when he feels frustrated and angry". In Australian English, it is a very humiliating type of name-calling.

Translated into Chinese, it probably is, "Go while breastfeeding, you little brat." ”

But there was no way, the referee couldn't understand what Link said, he only knew that Bogut pushed Link. So, Bogut was punished alone!

Seeing Bogut's angry appearance after being scolded and eating T, Link felt more comfortable. Now, Bogut should know who is the boss!

Sure enough, watching the Australian English tutorial before the game still helps. This time, Link didn't suffer from culture.

It is said that you should be well prepared before the start of the competition, and learning trash talk from other countries is also part of preparing for the competition.

"Damn, what did you kid just mutter? Make him so angry? After Randolph saw Bogut eating T, he also hurried to Link's side to "learn the scriptures".

"Want to know? My Australian English tutorial video is sold to you for only $500! ”

"Damn, shameless stinky rascal!"

"I wasn't taught me by you old rascal!"

Stevens shook his head off the court, as is usually not the case for him to provoke his opponents in this way.

But Bogut's trouble did affect the morale and rhythm of the Warriors.

Next, the game is about to go into the hands of the Grizzlies.
