Pierce scored just four points in the first quarter, one less than Link. Since the start of the game with a goal on Link's head, he hasn't scored any open games. Link's defense put Pierce under immense pressure, something Pierce didn't expect.

Before the game, he knew very well that this draft loss was not a good stubble, but he didn't expect his defense to be so rough. He thought Link had 70 points on defense, but Link did 90 today.

I have to say that this is really subverting his impression of Asian players.

Having said that, Link's performance in the first quarter of the game made Pierce vaguely remember that O'Neal had been single-handedly overturned by an Asian giant before. Well...... Perhaps, it is true that not all Asian players are as elegant as Yao Ming.

"I need you to get the ball in motion, no personal heroism! In the first quarter, we played well defensively, and in the second quarter, we improved our offensive efficiency while maintaining defensive efficiency! Go on the field, I know you're ready! ”

Rivers shouted at his duck, but his shouting was something the Celtics players could tell. This guy is a typical "chicken soup coach", not that Rivers has bad tactical cultivation. It's that he's better at mobilizing the emotions of his players than tactics.

The second quarter began, with the Celtics not making many tactical adjustments, while the Grizzlies quietly focused their offense on Conley and Link.

The partnership between these two guys has cost the Knicks with Anthony a failure, and Hollins hopes the same thing will happen to the Celtics today.

As soon as the game came up in the second quarter, Hollins noticed that the Celtics had changed lineups. Serbian Kostic did not continue to start, and was replaced by Glenn, who was fatter than Randolph. Davis.

"Big Baby" Davis is averaging a career-high 12.1 points per game this season, his mid-range shooting is maturing, and his tenacious style always gives him a chance on the inside.

Now, that's what it means to Garnett playing the No. 5 position and Davis playing the No. 4 position. There is no doubt that this is a change to strengthen the interior defense, and after just 12 minutes of battle, Rivers has already seen that the Grizzlies' strategy is to focus on the interior.

Seeing "Big Baby" appear, Hollins couldn't have been happier. Rivers would never have imagined that the Grizzlies had changed tactics. Davis is indeed okay with the top defense inside, but if he wants to help defend the outside...... That's going to be quite difficult.

"How is that guy fatter than you?" Link has been looking at Davis since he came on the court, and the NBA jersey of this period is not so tight, it is a loose style. But even so, Davis wore the effect of a straitjacket. The muscular lines on Davis's thick arms are obvious, but the slightly erected belly is a bit difficult to explain......

"How do I know, I heard that guy loves fried chicken...... Wait, am I fat!? ”

"The opponent has attacked Zack, stay focused!" Link dodges Randolph's question, and the fight continues!

This time, Garnett played with Rondo as soon as he came up. It seems that the Celtics are hoping to diversify their offense. To put it bluntly, I hope that Rondo can attack a few times and disrupt the Grizzlies' defensive strategy.

Rondo is a great scorer, but he's not completely incapable of scoring. Rondo's finishing rate under the basket after the breakthrough is also above the level, and his feint layup after the breakthrough has become one of the classic actions of the NBA. This guy is only a mid-to-long-range shot, but as long as he can hit the basket, he still has a certain scoring threat.

Rondo, who borrowed Garnett's cover, went directly to the inside line, and Conley was delayed by Garnett this time and failed to follow in time. And Randolph, who switched to Rondo, was naturally not as fast as him, and he didn't keep up for a while.

In this way, with a simple block, the Celtics scored the first point of the second game in Rondo's layup and equalized the score!

Rivers applauded happily, and once Rondo starts to threaten to score, the more passes he can get. As long as Rondo can find gaps everywhere, the Celtics' offense will be difficult to think of. After all, the current Celtics lineup has shooting ability except for Rondo.

After the goal, Rondo's stats today became 2 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds, and Rivers even wondered if Rondo could get a triple-double today.

"It's too fast, like a loach!" Randolph complained, it was indeed a little embarrassing to let the big black bear chase the defender.

"It's okay Zach, that guy isn't a scorer." Link excitedly ran to the frontcourt, and it was finally time for the Grizzlies' offensive round!

Glenn. Davis was ready, and the guy was eager to take on Randolph. Don't be fooled by Davis's chubby appearance, in fact, this thing is not a messy master, definitely a bastard.

But this time, when the Celtics set up their lineup, they found that the Grizzlies didn't continue to feed the ball inside. And Randolph and Gasol Jr. did not continue to play on the inside, but actively covered the outside players!

Conley handed the ball to Link, and Link and Gasol Jr. seemed to be going to play a pick-and-roll! Did the Grizzlies change Link for the main offense!? "Mike. Brin was astute to spot the Grizzlies' changes.

"Less kidding!" Pierce quickly bypassed Gasol Jr.'s cover and let a draft loser take the lead on his head? I'm afraid the Grizzlies are too confident!

However, when Pierce crossed back in front of Link, Link didn't shoot, but suddenly passed the ball!

Right bottom corner, Mike. Conley arrives and shoots the ball! Rondo? That guy has been delayed by Randolph's off-ball screen, and now he's on his way to Conley!

Conley would not have wasted such an opportunity, and he had made the shot before Rondo could catch up. It's almost an open three-pointer, and Conley's three-pointer isn't accurate, but his 36.9 percent shooting percentage is above par.

By the time Rondo caught up, all the three-pointers thrown by Conley had already flown into the air. "Big Baby" Davis and Garnett immediately stuck in position, ready to fight for rebounds!

But these two guys didn't get their wish, because the basketball thrown by Conley went directly into the net! Three-point hit, and the Grizzlies overtook the score again!

"Link has a really wide passing vision, and to be honest I thought he was going to go head-to-head with Pierce! But his sudden pass found Conley accurately, and Link's pass was as accurate as a point guard! It's a collaboration between the outside and the outside, and the Grizzlies seem to have changed their offensive strategy, and they no longer rely on Randolph to force the low post! ”

Rivers stood up, and the Grizzlies' offense was indeed somewhat unexpected. But he can't conclude that the Grizzlies have changed their strategy with a single offense, and there are always a lot of coincidences in competitive sports, and who knows if the Grizzlies' offense just now was a coincidence?

The Grizzlies changed their strategy and scored a goal, while the Celtics still intend to rely on Rondo's scoring to disrupt the Grizzlies' defense. But how can the Grizzlies' defense be in a mess because of a playmaker who averages just over 10 points per game?

After just being fooled, Conley has become smart this time. When Rondo and Garnett blocked the dismantle, Conley directly took two steps back! He'd rather let Rondo shoot than let him break through!

So after the blockade, an embarrassing scene appeared. Conley and Randolph both shrank back into the box, leaving Rondo alone outside the free-throw line, unattended......

Before crossing over, Link often saw a picture of Rondo on the Internet, which showed the embarrassing image of Rondo alone outside the three-point line in a Celtics game against the Heat, and no one was supervised within two meters of him. Now the Grizzlies' defensive position is similar to that picture.

Seeing Rondo completely ignored on the outside, Link felt embarrassed for him. Rondo simply shot a mid-range jumper, but unfortunately, this shot did not go into the net like Conley's three-pointer just now, and Rondo missed!

Conley's strategy worked!

"The Grizzlies are smart defensively, and they only suffer one loss and won't be fooled again. Having Rondo shoot a mid-range jumper is certainly not what Coach Rivers wants. ”

Garnett and Glenn. Davis is still actively playing on the inside, ready to fight for offensive rebounds. But the Black and White Bears couldn't easily give up the rebounding spot, they stuck Garnett and Davis, and then Link rushed in to grab the rebound.

Link wondered if he had one named Steven. One card eight. Adams' center-forward teammates are estimated to average double-doubles in rebounds per game.

Link grabbed the rebound and advanced with the ball himself, but as soon as he stepped on the halfway line, he suddenly made a long pass.

The camera on the scene followed Link's pass and moved quickly, only to realize that Tony. Aaron has cut along the bottom line. The ball was high but never a mistake. Because playing from the beginning, Link is like passing Tony. Aaron an air relay!

With the Celtics players still confused, Tony. Allen jumped high, held the ball with one hand, and then completed the dunk with one hand!

Tony. When Allen scored, there were two Celtics players who didn't step back to the three-point line! The Grizzlies' offense was faster than ever, and Link's open pass from the midfield was even more impressive!

"The midcourt passes directly into the air, oh my God, this guy used to play point guard!"

Rivers was a little overwhelmed, and the Grizzlies didn't hit the box on either offense, but they were already five points ahead of the Celtics!

He looked up at the big screen on the spot, and Link's stats had turned into 5 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds after two rounds.

Well...... Looks like it's closer to a triple-double than Rondo.
