393: The desires of both sides are strong
Shortly after Link arrived at the gym the next day, he saw Nick. Yang appeared in the locker room.
Link panicked a batch, today Nick. Yang has a strong desire to fight. And for him, the desire to fight = the desire to score......
"So early?"
"Well, you have to come early today to warm up and prepare, so as not to feel cold when you come on the court. Tonight, we can't afford to go wrong. "Nick. Young said as he began to change his jersey.
Since Link said that casually yesterday, Nick. Yang is looking forward to today's game.
Thunder. Aaron, he's certainly one of the league's greatest goalscorers. Last season with the Celtics, he averaged 14.2 points per game.
But you have to know, Ray. Aaron is 37 years old! For a professional footballer, 37 years old is not a year to be thankful. Normally, players at this age will have a significant decline in all aspects of their ability.
Except, of course, that No. 21 rookie from the Spurs.
This season in the Heat, Ray. Allen accepted the role as a substitute and his scoring average dropped to 9.8 points per game. Because of this, Nick. Yang Cai felt unhappy.
A 37-year-old veteran substitute has a higher rating than me, can you be happy? After all, before moving to the Clippers last season, he could still average 16.6 points per game with the Wizards!
Looking at the scrappy Nick. Yang, Link is really a little unaccustomed. I just don't know if this guy will die for the Heat or the Grizzlies if he gets serious......
"Let's go Link, let's go warm up."
While Link was thinking, Nick. Young has changed his jersey and invited Link to come on the court to shoot.
Link nodded and walked out of the locker room apprehensively.
The young man made a move, but it was either death or injury.

When Stevens arrives at the gym, he discovers that Nick. When Yang's training vest was already soaked, he was also very surprised.
Nick. Young and the Miami Heat didn't have a holiday, why are they so positive today?
"Yang, take a break and save your strength for the evening!" Stevens then greeted Nick. Yang then stopped shooting.
Link on the side also took a break for a while. Young's shooting percentage in training today is simply too "typical".
Can get in when Nick. Young's goals can be in a string. But when he can't get in, Link is really worried about Nick. Young smashed the basket on the training ground.
The hit rate is inconsistent, and that's always been Nick. The biggest problem with a nerve knife player like Yang is also the biggest characteristic.
So far in his career, Nick. Young only had a season where he shot over 44 percent. In 22 games with the Clippers last season, Nick. Young's shooting percentage was only 39.4 percent.
But it was such a guy who hit three consecutive three-pointers in one minute in the playoffs last season to help the Clippers complete a 24-point comeback. It's such a guy who once scored 43 points in a single game. You know, Link's current career high scoring record is only 43 points.
So, now Link doesn't know Nick either. What level can Yang play in the actual game.
"Link, come here." Link's thoughts were interrupted by Stevens' shouting, and Link hurried to the young marshal.
"Boss."
"Defensively today, I need you to play against Dwayne. Wade. LeBron, leave it to Andre. If you play against LeBron for the whole game, you're probably going to be overwhelmed. Spending too much stamina on the defensive end won't do you any good offense. So, on the defensive end you go and look at Wade. ”
"yes, I see." Link nodded slightly, Wade is naturally not easy to deal with, but since Wade has just been suspended due to a knee injury in the last game, it is naturally impossible for his physical condition to return to his best condition today.
So in all fairness, for this game, Wade is really not as much of a threat as James. Link defends Wade and can be a little easier on the defensive end. The saved physical strength and energy can allow Link to play more powerful firepower against James on the offensive end.
Wade, James, Nick. Yang, Lei. Alan...... Tonight's game is going to be a lot of fun.

When James stepped off the team bus, the flashing lights suddenly linked. The entire entrance to the passage was blocked, and the security personnel of the Federal Express Arena were on standby.
In Memphis, security personnel rarely see this happening. After all, this is a small-ball city, and the Grizzlies don't have any superstar-caliber athletes. Therefore, it does not attract so many journalists.
But the arrival of James can make the small ball market crazy!
Not to mention saving the ball market, when James was still in Cleveland in the past, he even made the city's GDP rise a lot.
James wears headphones and sunglasses, unimpressed by everything around him. After all, he was in this position wherever he went, and he was used to it.
Sitting in the locker room, James immediately dropped his cool look and began to actively change equipment.
Wade smiled, "You weren't that interested in Link before. How? Worried about him scoring 31 points in the first half over your head? ”
"Link was different from Link now, I can see it. If I had taken it lightly today, I would have been killed by that kid. James replied as he continued to change his clothes.
"yes...... Hopefully today on the offensive end, I'll be less embarrassed. Wade spread his hands, then took off his jeans and began to put braces on his broken knees......
In the Heat locker room, the atmosphere was surprisingly serious. When Wade and James became serious, the others would never dare to giggle.
An hour later, the Heat players were ready to go. When James stepped onto the pitch, he found that there were no cheers. Occasionally, a few fans who asked him for autographs were also wearing Heat jerseys, Miami fans.
Memphis fans, on the other hand, are dismissive of the explosive superstar.
James was a little surprised, it stands to reason that in the small ball market, even if it is an away game, it can win cheers and attention.
After all, fans in the small ball market rarely get a chance to see a superstar-level athlete.
Can Memphis ...... This place is truly special. The fans here only love their players, no matter how strong or popular the opponent is, they don't care.
The people of Memphis are just as stubborn as their team. James reckoned that even if Jordan came, Memphis fans wouldn't look at him more. Unless, he's wearing a Grizzlies jersey.
It's as if even if the Heat comes, the Grizzlies players won't feel the slightest fear!
This is probably the backbone of Memphis.
On the other side, Nick. Yang's eyes never followed the thunder from beginning to end. Aaron moved out of the way. He was on Ray. Aaron himself has no prejudices, but is simply dissatisfied with his rating of 72.
"Is that old man really that powerful? The rating is 80 points short. "While warming up, Nick. Yang muttered, the Grizzlies' strongest chatter has endless topics to talk about at any time.
"Sure, but so what? Aren't we here to defeat stronger opponents? ”
"So you think I can really beat Ray. Alan? ”
"Do you think I can beat James again?"
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled. The tournament is on, and the defending champions are on what is perhaps the most difficult land to conquer on the league's map.
Two game buddies, ready to do a big job in reality.
