At the beginning of the second quarter, after the Grizzlies launched an 11-0 offensive surge, the Toronto Raptors collapsed entirely.

Conley, Tony. The lineup of Allen, Link, Randolph and Gasol made Lionel . Hollins saw limitless potential. Defense, offense, and three-pointers, this lineup has almost everything Hollins needs.

Think about it, if the Grizzlies' backup forward is still Sam. Yang, just now the team simply couldn't play such a tough defense and an attack with such empty space. Therefore, sometimes whether a player can survive in a team depends not only on his strength, but also on whether he is suitable for the team.

After the 11-0 timeout, Link and Tony. Allen was replaced by Gay and Mayo, after all, the latter two are the real starters for the Grizzlies.

With the Raptors on the verge of collapse, Mayo and Guy played to their strengths in singles.

Gay's breakaway dunk made Kreiza sink even more. And Mayo's unreasonable pull-up jump shot also made DeMar . DeRozan was immensely envious.

Under the beating of Mayo and Gay, the Raptors were already trailing by 23 points after half the game.

At the time, the entire arena at the Air Canada Centre was filled with fan boos. It is also unknown if the fans are booing the Grizzlies or expressing their displeasure with the home team.

After the start of the third quarter, Zach . Randolph also began to exert his strength. He scored eight points in the first six minutes, forcing the Raptors' defense to shrink again.

As a result, Link got two three-point shots and improved his personal score to 13 points. As a substitute, Link has an efficient double-digit scoring contribution in almost every game, which undoubtedly gives the commentators another excuse to blow a wave of Link.

After that, the Raptors were forced by the Grizzlies' defense to shoot from the outside. However, with the likes of Calderón and Kreza, it was really difficult to kill the game with shots.

Since Link was more likely to play at the same time as Mayo or Guy in the second half, he didn't have as many chances in the first half. As a result, Link focused all his attention on the defensive end. He took this afternoon from Tony. Everything that Arlena learned was put into practice, allowing the Lithuanians to play a game of high and low.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Randolph broke out again, scoring seven points in a row and completely laying the victory for the Grizzlies.

Link came off the court in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, when his personal scoring stat was 15 points. He was replaced by rival Sam. Poplar.

However, it is clear to all that Sam. The reason why Yang can still play is because the game has completely entered garbage time. And Link didn't play because Hollins needs to keep the team's main players healthy.

That's right, the main players of the team. Now, almost everyone has tacitly agreed that Link is part of the Grizzlies' main rotation. From coaches to players, no one would find it strange that Link was taking a break in garbage time.

Sam. Yang was a little indignant, but now, who cares what he thinks?

In this rivalry with Link, he has been completely defeated.

In the end, the Grizzlies managed to slay the dragon by 19 points in back-to-back games on the road. Randolph, who had 37 points and 17 rebounds, became the best player of the game, and the guy who was once spurned by all teams shone in Toronto.

Since he was the best player of the game, he also had the most reporters covering Randolph after the game.

"Zach, you're undoubtedly the best guy in today's game. But if you had to pick the second best person, who would you choose? A reporter began to dig a hole with bad intentions, and he estimated that Randolph's unafraid personality would take all the credit for winning the game on himself.

"The first best is Zack, and the second best and third best are also Zack!" The reporters thought that Randolph would answer like this.

But in fact, Randolph is long past the age of insolence, "If I had to choose, I would choose Link." His presence has given me a lot of opportunities to play in the low post with ease, without worrying about someone coming up. If someone really packs it, you can see his four today. Of course, the rest of the team-mates played just as well and we were a good team. ”

Randolph smiled, and the reporters froze.

They really didn't expect that the Chinese No. 0 would have such an appetite for Randolph.

The NBA, like many other places, is a place where seniority is all about seniority. Even a rookie like Yao Ming enters the NBA, he has to be responsible for preparing before each training session, and place it door-to-door at the door of the big brother's room.

When Sun Yue was on the Lakers, he once went to a fast food restaurant to buy 33 burgers, 20 milkshakes and 20 fries because his teammates were excited about the plane. At that time, Chinese fans ridiculed on the Internet: "Sun Yue was forced to give 33+20+20." ”

However, not only has Link never suffered this treatment with the Grizzlies, but today he was even praised by Randolph himself, which of course shocked the media.

An undrafted player who has played less than five games with the Grizzlies, how can he earn so much respect?

Reporters overlooked the fact that Link played two games with the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies went from a three-game losing streak to a two-game winning streak in no time. And in these two games, the Grizzlies' star Rudy. Guy's performance wasn't too great. This incident is enough to illustrate the problem.

Sometimes, it's as simple as earning respect.

Randolph left the reporters with surprised faces and walked to the players' tunnel on his own. He couldn't wait to celebrate the victory with Link.

However, when he arrived at the door of the players' tunnel, Randolph found that Link, the kid, was as much of a spotlight as himself, and he was already surrounded by reporters.

Randolph stopped, and then smiled. He brought in little Gasol, and the two of them sneaked up two disposable cups, filled them with water, and walked behind Link.

Seeing this, the reporters immediately took a step back. Hill's basketball experience, but his judgment on this kind of thing is still a little slower.

By the time he realized that something was wrong, two glasses of cold water had already poured down his head!

"Hahaha, run, Mark, run!"

Randolph let out an exaggerated laugh and ran like a 200-pound child.

Link looked at his soaked No. 0 jersey and shook his head helplessly, but instead of being angry, he was a little happy.

Because he knows that the bigwigs in the team have fully accepted themselves.

As an undrafted player, if he can win the love of the bigwigs in the team, he is enough to have a pending future. All the big brother of the team has to say "I don't like so-and-so" to the coach or not pass him on the court is enough to block the NBA career of a lowest-ranking professional player.

The opposite, of course. If they like someone in particular and like to pass the ball to him, it will undoubtedly help him consolidate his position more quickly.

Daniel, who was only selected in the second round that year. Gibson and Dudley, aren't they finally getting through because they are loved by James and Nash?

And as a yellow-skinned player, it's even more difficult to be accepted by your teammates. As a time-traveler, Link knows that Jeremy Lin will not be easy in the future. It is not much easier for Chinese-Americans to gain a foothold in the NBA than for pure Chinese players.

But now, these problems are solved because of the two glasses of water just now.

"Link, you and your teammates are very excited, and it seems like you're going a lot better in Memphis than you did in Houston. So, do you think you'll get a start this season? "Reporters aren't stupid, they can see that Hollins is using Link more and more. Now Link is not just playing the number three, but also the number two.

It's not out of the question that Link will one day squeeze Mayo off the bench. After all, Xavier. When Henry was not injured, Mayo had been playing on the bench for him. Seemingly, Hollins would prefer to make Mayo a Super Sixth Man role.

Link would naturally like to start, but he can't say it so clearly, that would offend people. And with his current status with the Grizzlies, he can't afford to offend anyone.

'I didn't think about it, I just wanted to help the team play every game. And, I really want to get the first 20 points of my NBA career, hehe. ”

Link smiled at the camera, looking very young. Starting? Link hadn't thought about it yet. Being able to enter the stable rotation now is already a victory. After all, half a month ago, he was still developing the alliance.

But the very evil thing is that after tonight's interview, Link's chance to play the starting line came......
