In the first quarter of the game, only Pau Gasol, one of the first five tigers in the Grizzlies, scored 40%. In addition, the offensive efficiency of the other four is very low, and the only Gasol with a 40% shooting rate is still due to a small number of shots.
According to the normal situation, the Grizzlies offensive efficiency is so low, now not behind the Bobcats by two digits, thank God.
However, the Grizzlies are not two digits behind, but are two points ahead of the Bobcats. All this is because of link, who is 4-for-5 in the first quarter.
Stephen Jackson sat on the bench, panting. In the first quarter of the game, bobcats coach Paul sellasleng let the 33 year old play full 12 minutes.
Paul Silas is not a major maniac, not all coaches have siboduna. But there''s no way to do it in the first quarter. If he let Stephen Jackson go, the Bobcats would be far behind now.
Fortunately, the basketball game has only 12 minutes in one section, and bobcats can get a chance to breathe. If the NBA were to divide the first half and the second half like the NCAA, Paul Silas was afraid that the game would be beaten directly.
"We''re just two points behind. Hold on!" Silas yelled. As an experienced coach, he knew that the top priority of the team now was to stabilize the morale.
If the mood of the players is broken, the game is over.
"We still have a chance. We can''t upset our plan because of our temporary backwardness. In the second section of the game, continue to fight, and appropriately speed up the attack rhythm. I believe you can see how tired the Grizzlies are. Keep consuming them and keep their offensive efficiency going down Silas has always believed in the truth that seizing each other''s weaknesses and beating them up will surely make them bleed.
Now, the Grizzlies'' biggest weakness is physical fitness. Silas knew that the Chinese drop off draft was full of energy and good performance. But to be honest, he didn''t believe the Asian could kill the game on his own. As long as you beat the Grizzlies'' starting line-up, no matter how good link is, it won''t help.
Silas speculated that the Grizzlies would start the second quarter with regular starting. At that time, he will speed up the attack rhythm, strive to open the score. When link comes on, he''ll send Stephen Jackson, who''s already rested, to deal with him.
Although Jackson is old, he is still as fierce as he was then. Although Jackson was temporarily defeated by link in the first quarter, Silas believes that under Jackson''s tight defense, link''s physical strength will be exhausted sooner or later.
Paul Silas made his own calculations and put his players on the court after a short break. Steven Jackson is a bit uneasy on the bench, and he can''t play right now because the first quarter is full of 12 minutes. But the more he can''t play, the more nervous he gets.
Sure enough, when he saw the Grizzlies starting in the second quarter, something that Stephen Jackson was afraid of really happened.
"The Grizzlies and bobcats both had staff adjustments, and the starting in the second quarter was completely different from what it was at the beginning. On the Grizzlies side, link continues to play, while O.J. Mayo continues to sit on the bench. On the Bobcats side, coach Silas replaced Steven Jackson with Matt Carroll, who played for 12 minutes
The announcers were the first to see the lineup change, as surprised as they were by Paul Silas and Stephen Jackson.
They didn''t expect Hollins to let link go on. However, Hollins didn''t feel too embarrassed when he made the decision. After all, Mayo had already lost his trust.
Rinkmore wiped his hands and looked at the opposite player, enjoying the look of panic from the other side''s eyes. It turns out that it''s such an interesting thing to make the other person afraid.
"The Bobcats lead the attack, but without Stephen Jackson, the Bobcats lack a focus. It''s very tricky. Let''s see what Bobcats do
The commentators in the Time Warner Center Stadium are worried. This is the dilemma Bobcats are facing now.
Without Jackson, D.J. Augustine gave the ball to link''s opponent, Gerald Henderson. Augustine has been "honest" a lot since he was beaten by Pau Gasol in the first quarter.
Gerrard Henderson has a variety of offensive methods. Link knows this guy because he used this player in the nba2k game before crossing over. At that time, he felt very comfortable and capable of anything.
In reality, Henderson at his peak is also a strong man who can score 15 points per game. But now Henderson, after all, is only a sophomore. His first step was quick, but his intention was too obvious. With rich experience, link can easily force him to stop, and his anticipation on the defensive side makes Henderson doubt life.
However, Henderson had to give the ball back to Augustine. Augustine also passed the ball to Matt Carroll, who averaged only 4.4 points per game this season, and he might not have been in the rotation if Gerard Wallace had not been injured.
Carroll had a fleeting three-point shot, but the 1.98-meter-tall swingback still admitted to seeing Rudy guy follow up viciously.Augustine again received a return pass, as if everyone was saying to him, "it''s you. Don''t pass it."
Augustine bravely broke through to the inside line, in the Grizzlies under the interference of the final layup.
Link curled his mouth. With the power of SM, he still wants to win the Grizzlies? When a team has to rely on 33 year old Stephen Jackson to score, it shows that the team has a big problem.
Link went forward to take part in the attack, Hollins said, to slow down the pace as much as possible. Bobcats want to consume Grizzlies. They want to fight fast. So, Hollins was deliberately slow.
Guy holds the ball and Matt Carroll is too weak for him. However, due to his physical fitness, guy''s mid shot was even stronger...
Paul Silas breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the score was not opened. But not long after he was complacent, he found that the Yellow skinned forward in the No. 0 Jersey lightly leaped back to the basket with the basketball that had been knocked out of the frame.
Randolph and Pau Gasol got stuck, and link took advantage of it. Of course, if there is no sensitive rebound sense of smell, link will never be able to get such an easy chance to make up.
"Beautiful second attack, link today is just as he likes. He''s got 10 points and he''s given the Grizzlies an advantage in the overall downturn
Along with the commentary, the live camera gave Henderson a close-up of his face. Henderson looked so confused that he didn''t know when link went in!
As a No. 2 player, Henderson''s sense of place is not so strong. The point is, he hasn''t seen the opposition that can grab offensive rebounds.
Paul Silas swallowed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling that his team might become the famous background board of the Chinese boy.
His state, and grizzly bear other people are completely two extremes!
Steven Jackson knew before the game that the Chinese kid was no ordinary person. A person''s origin can not define his upper limit. Just like, did people ever think that he would become an NBA star with 20 points per game when he was wandering abroad?
But what Jackson didn''t expect was that this Chinese American was so powerful that it exceeded his expectation.
Just now, link tricked Jackson with a beautiful step back jumper and scored. After that goal, link has already won the game''s 26th point - the Grizzlies'' highest individual score today.
Stephen Jackson came out in the fifth minute of the second quarter, but by that time he was no longer available. At that time, link was already playing. So, he was held down by link until the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.
Jackson''s slow traverse speed makes him fierce, but his defense effect is not good. And link until the fourth quarter shooting rate is very stable, never seems to feel tired.
Jackson''s defense actually collapsed from the second quarter, and he could only watch link''s score keep rising.
With three minutes left, the Grizzlies are 14 points ahead. Although the rest of them were inefficient, link really taught Bobcats a good lesson.
At this point, Jackson again with the ball against link, found that he did not have the kind of confidence at the beginning.
On the one hand, Jackson had some regrets. This guy''s talent is no weaker than the Lotto show. How did he lose?
Jackson, on the other hand, was relieved. He is happy to see another player at the bottom who has changed his destiny through his efforts.
Jackson''s lack of concentration was eventually robbed by link. This time, Stephen Jackson, famous for his profession, sighed instead of pursuing.
He lost completely. Bobcats lost completely. In the Grizzlies overall condition is not good, link with his own personal performance, saved the Memphis Grizzlies.
Link fast break layup success, personal score reached 28 points - career high!
After the goal, Paul Silas''s assistant stopped the game. As for Silas himself, he can''t bear to look directly at the game.
He had thought that a drop in the draft could not threaten Bobcats'' victory.
But now, when the impossible becomes possible, Silas feels overwhelmed. By 16 points, Silas knew that the Bobcats were no longer able to recover.
He lost not to Grizzlies, but to the Chinese American.
Link left the field, clapped with his teammates, and was hugged by Hollins. This time link did not struggle, relying on his own strength to save the team''s feeling, let link feel incomparably refreshing.
As for his tactical position in the Grizzlies, link believes, at least now it is much higher than Mayo.
