Link has always believed that there is no player who cannot defend. Every player has his own habits and characteristics of play, and if he scores 40 points today, there is a good chance that he will score another 40 points in the same way two days later.

What's more, the current Leonard is not the kind of player who can score 40 points at every turn. It's not hard for Link to figure out how he moves.

Of course, this comes at a cost of time. For example, going to bed at 3 a.m.

But it didn't matter, the Grizzlies didn't play the next day, and Link could sleep until nine o'clock before waking up. First thing after waking up, Link asked the waiter to bring him a breakfast, and then continued to watch the video of Leonard's game.

After a midday nap, it wasn't until the afternoon that the Grizzlies' practice finally began.

When Hollins went to the training gym, he deliberately looked at Link and found that the kid didn't have the big dark circles on his face as he imagined. On the contrary, he seems to be very energetic, as if he can fight the Spurs again at any time.

"What time did you see yesterday?" Hollins stepped up to Link, who was shooting.

"Three, what about you?"

"Me too, aren't you sleepy?" Hollins felt that after staying up late to watch the video, he was in a trance the next day. And what about Link? Not only is he mentally minded, but he can also play so well in training.

"Sleepy? I'm too excited, Leon, and I wish I could start tomorrow night. Link smiled, trying to figure out Leonard's offensive habits is not complicated.

After all, Leonard's arsenal of this period was not as abundant. To put it bluntly, it's just a 3D player who averages less than double digits in points per game.

Link believes that as long as he defends according to the plan in the next game, instead of being led by the nose like yesterday, there will be no big problem in trying to defend against Leonard.

Yesterday was so humiliated so badly, Link also wanted to give that "Terminator" a taste of power! Bryant said that don't arouse Link's desire to win.

But Leonard, apparently, had not heard of this phrase.

"Well, anyway, don't stay up late tonight, have a good rest. Tomorrow, I need everyone to be at their best. ”

"Don't worry, Leon, I'm always in the best shape!"

Seeing Link so excited, Hollins felt a lot more relaxed. Yesterday, seeing Link be the first to leave the locker room and be the first to get on the team bus without saying a word after the game, Hollins thought Link was devastated.

After all, no one wants to be guarded by a first-year rookie. What's more, Leonard is not yet a lottery show. Losing to him will definitely demoralize people.

Unexpectedly, Link did not sink into defeat, but was high-spirited.

Now even Hollins is starting to look forward to seeing what the San Antonio people will be jaw-dropping tomorrow

In the afternoon, as usual, reporters rushed into the training hall during media hours.

And Link's first rush out to sleep yesterday became very popular.

"Do you think yesterday's defeat doesn't matter? Or do you think the team has already achieved the set goals and therefore doesn't care if they win or lose? ”

"Link, what do you think of yesterday's loss? Do you care? Or do you want to give up resistance? ”

Faced with his current situation, Link was not surprised. The media is like that, they prefer to make unrealistic assumptions about things they don't know about rather than know the truth.

Link didn't bother to engage in a war of words with the media, he answered all the questions with just one sentence, "We'll be back in Memphis with home field advantage, and you think I'm going to keep losing, so wait and see." ”

The reporters looked at each other one by one, how did they feel that Link had become like Leonard, and he cherished words like gold.

On May 17, the second round of the NBA playoffs continued.

Today, Link came to the stadium early in the morning to warm up. But to his surprise, Leonard arrived before him.

Link and Leonard looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Link didn't know what to say to the opponent he had just defeated, and Leonard didn't like talking to strangers.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds before they began to practice. Although both sides are very silent, it is more like building up pressure.

After the pressure is silently accumulated to a certain extent, the power that erupts is enough to destroy the entire ATT center!

The two just shot back-to-back in their respective halves, and the sound of the Nets tumbling was undulating. After a few minutes of casting, Leonard's side was the first to hear the sound of striking iron.

Link instantly became excited, and couldn't help but yell, "Yay! I knew you were going to miss before I did! Come on, come again! ”

Leonard turned his head in surprise, and he had been secretly fighting with himself!?

Leonard shook his head, and the look in his eyes was as if he was looking at a 3-year-old child.

But Link didn't care so much, he continued to talk to Leonard, "Come on, come to me, let's practice together, so that we can be competitive." I know you're actually shooting very well. On your first day at Spurs, the England coach starts correcting your shots. How many three-pointers have you hit in this year's playoffs? More than 40, right? Come on, let me see exactly how your shot goes. I know you'd love to compare, come on. ”

Link said, ran directly to Leonard's half court with the basketball, and threw himself up. Leonard didn't pay any attention to Link at first, but Link's mouth was still chattering.

"Kawaii, you're pretty handsome, I want to get one too, where did you get your hair?"

"I've heard that Duncan guy forces you to listen to his bad jokes every day, is that true? He's terrifying! ”

"Kawaii, who do you think Parker or Ginobili will have the hair to go completely bald first? Don't look at Parker's age than Ginobili, but no one is immune to Duncan's grasp. ”

"Hey, Kawaii"

"Kawaii, what do you think?"

Leonard began to strike iron in a row and began to get upset. Link was delighted to find that Leonard would also be upset! He's not a robot, he's a living player!

"I'm compared to you! Can you go back after the competition? Finally, under the onslaught that Link had been pestering for half an hour and had drained Badu, Leonard spoke.

"Okay, let's shoot five, five from beyond the three-point line, one shot from one position. I'm done, and I'm leaving. Link laughed wryly, and Leonard shook his head helplessly.

Leonard didn't say much and stood in the bottom right corner, ready to start shooting. Link stands under the basket and is responsible for picking up and passing.

Leonard's poor shooting? If you look at the stats, it's really not bad, and his three-point shooting percentage this year is definitely above average.

On the first shot, Leonard hit it. Immediately after he ran to the horns, Link deliberately passed a low ball. This time, Leonard couldn't hit the ball.

Link nodded to himself and continued to pass. This time it was the top of the arc, a normal pass, and Leonard scored. Then on the left side, Link continued to pass the ball low, and Leonard scored this time, but the basketball bumped into the basket and bumped a few times before it went in.

Finally, in the bottom left corner, Link made a pass to the ground, but the ball was still low after the rebound. Leonard catches the ball and misses the second shot.

3 of 5 shots, both of which were missed because of the low ball. Combined with the game video I watched yesterday, Link has a bottom in his heart!

"It's your turn!" Leonard walked to the basket angrily, ready to play early.

"Hehe, you won, I admit defeat. Warm up, I won't bother you. As everyone knows, Link, who had been shouting about shooting just now, waved his hand and left directly.

Leonard's eyes widened and he scratched his head at a loss, that guy is sick!

Absolutely, more nervous than Duncan!

At that moment, Leonard felt a large hand on his head. Looking back, it was Duncan!

"Damn, doesn't this guy walk without a sound!?" Leonard secretly rejoiced in his heart, but fortunately he didn't say the complaint just now

"Boy, don't be around strange people." Duncan looked at Link, who was back in his half to warm up, and always felt worried.

Link is a smart guy, Duncan admits. The media said he gave up on himself? It's just fart. Duncan believes that Link is now all thinking about how to win.

He didn't know what Link wanted to do, but it wasn't a good thing to put him in contact with Leonard before the game.

"Oh, okay." Leonard nodded, then continued to warm up.

But at the same time, he thought to himself, Duncan, you seem to be a strange person
