109: I don't have time to enjoy it (21/40)
Man, look at who my friend met yesterday. ”
On February 11, the morning of the Grizzlies and Nuggets game. As soon as Link woke up, he found the message Randolph had sent him.
Below the message, a photo is attached. Although the man in the photo is dressed in casual clothes, Link recognizes him at a glance.
Isn't this the famous "melon" Cameron. Anthony, it looks like this guy had a great time in Memphis last night.
In the photo, there is also a woman next to Anthony. What does this woman say...... The face is not good-looking, but the figure is indeed quite exaggerated, anyway, it is the best bite of the black man.
In the photo, Anthony's hand is still on the woman's back, which is inevitably reminiscent of their bloody storm last night.
", what a envy! Belch..... No, what am I talking about......"
Link slapped himself in the face, accidentally telling the truth.
In fact, Link has traveled so long and now has the money, and he also wants to experience the wild life of an NBA star. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he really doesn't have time!
The Grizzlies play back-to-back games every three to five, and even if they don't play back-to-backs, most of the time it's three days and two games. In addition to playing games, Link also has to train, participate in business activities, and so on. Every day he was tired, and he didn't have the heart to think about those things.
If one day Link doesn't get tired and lies down, then it proves that he has to save his strength for the next day's race, so the evening is also quite peaceful.
Now, the only woman who can keep Link company is Rachel. However, the two only occasionally texted and chatted. At most, Rachel occasionally sends a selfie or two to Link. But it wasn't like someone was taking a picture to show Link, it was just that Rachel was sharing with Link what she had done where she had been today.
This kind of petty and playful interaction naturally can't satisfy Link, who is at a restless age. But there is no way, he doesn't want to give up his martial arts after the alliance has achieved a small success. After all, Link can't guarantee that he can be like the "rich and handsome" Chandler in the future. Parsons was so lucky.
Seeing Anthony still have his soul in the face of constant trouble, Link really doesn't know how these guys get their energy out. Before Link crossed over, he had heard countless scandals about Anthony. In the worst case, Anthony impregnated a nightclub dancer, almost causing the marriage to break up.
As far as it seems now, these scandals are true, and Anthony actually has a criminal record.
But speaking of which, you said that Anthony took the woman next to him back yesterday just to chat, Link must not believe it. In other words, if nothing else, Anthony may still be asleep, and he may have just fallen asleep. What's more, it's possible that they're trying to break the press with the ball in both hands......
That being said, tonight, Anthony's form is not so secure.
Link shook his hands and suddenly felt a little excited. If you fall behind in playing, you can't lose to others on the court.
This resentment has to be vented on the court.
※※※
This game is not a big battle for the media and neutral fans, after all, there are too many Nuggets this season, and they have long lost their previous super popularity.
But for Hollins and Grizzlies fans, the game is important. After all, it was the Grizzlies' first game after Guy was seriously injured. Moreover, it was also the debut of Hollins' new starter.
Before the game began, it was predicted that the Grizzlies would start Conley, Mayo, Link, Randolph and Gasol Jr.
But after the game began, the media found out that in addition to Link, Tony . Allen also started the game. Yesterday, Hollins sent Tony in the last five minutes. Allen's appearance is understandable, after all, Mayo can't guard against Harden.
But today, the Nuggets' starting point guard Aaron Aaron Brown. Afflaro is not a player with explosive scoring ability. The media was a little puzzled as to why Hollins continued to use Tony. Aaron too.
"What do the Grizzlies want to do? As a result, they don't even have a singles spot on the outside, and I thought Coach Hollins would use Mayo to fill Gay's vacancy for Duncan. But now it seems that his thinking is completely different from ours. ”
The commentators complained, but that didn't affect the Grizzlies' preparation in the slightest. On the other side, Nuggets star Cameron Brown. Anthony was also indifferent to the Grizzlies' change of formation. He doesn't care about Tony. Allen and Mayo who should start, he only knows that his opponent today is just a draft loss. As for yourself, you have to try to get a high score.
Otherwise, those annoying media will kill him. He now wants nothing more than to go to New York, not to get himself in trouble.
When Anthony stepped onto the court, George Brown. Carl didn't even bother to look at him. In the last few games, the patience passed.
"Today we continued to attack the inside and open up the situation from the inside. The Nuggets are panicking internally right now, and this is our chance! I know, we've just lost Rudy. But without him, we can't be demoralized! ”
Hollins didn't have any new tactics in place, as he had already talked about during training yesterday. A coach's pre-match setup is usually not complicated, and if a coach sets up a new strategy before the game starts, his team will definitely not be able to implement it.
But just before all the Grizzlies players could get on the court, Hollins grabbed Link and whispered beside him.
"You know Cameron. Anthony, right? ”
"Huh? Of course. Link was a little confused, as long as he is a basketball fan, who doesn't know the famous Anthony? Link even knew more than anyone else, because he knew what would happen to Anthony eight or nine years later.
"He's a super scorer, he can score in almost any way. He's very well-rounded and doesn't fear any defender. Many people say that it is simply impossible to fight Anthony, and that no one in this league can stand against him. ”
Link listened silently, but he didn't know why Hollins was telling him this. How? Is this a blow to one's own confidence?
"I won't repeat much about this guy's praise. But did you find out? Of all the praise for Anthony, there is not a single mention of his defense. Cameron. Is Anthony a good defensive player? I think most people will shake their heads in denial. He has been named to the All-Second Team and All-Three Team several times, but has never been named to the All-Defensive Team once. So today, while Randolph and Gasol are attacking on the inside, I want you to cause some problems for Anthony, who doesn't like to defend. Don't be afraid of him, Anthony isn't a superstar on the defensive end, he might not be as good as you! ”
With that, Hollins patted Link on the back and pushed him onto the court.
Link smiled, which means that the Grizzlies' outside offense will be handed over to him today! Conley is a playmaker and Mr. Tony is a defender. Then in Hollins' mind, Link is the outside scorer!
A set of starters with all the players on the field doing their job, which is exactly what Hollins needs.
Anthony moved his muscles on the court, his thighs a little sore from last night's frenzied exertion. But Anthony wasn't nervous at all, anyway, just dealing with a draft loss that wasn't very athletic.
Unbeknownst to this self-esteemed guy, he had become an ATM for undrafted picks at this point.
and Cameron. Anthony Soaring Points? Link licked his lips, it was definitely more exciting than going to a nightclub to hang a woman.
