Anthony Davies, like most young players, is full of hope for the playoffs.
In the regular season to play a wonderful performance, who has not fantasy in the playoffs to lead the team to defeat the strong enemy, cut through the border, kill out the encirclement?
Anthony Davis also had the illusion that the pelican was not completely out of the question of winning. Even if they don''t win, he and the pelican should be able to cause Grizzlies a lot of trouble.
In short, they don''t sit around like prey. They will fight to the end, cherish every game in the playoffs and show their strength to the fullest.
But after just one round against link, Davis realized the cruelty of the playoffs.
The real playoffs are more dangerous than he thought.
Unlike the regular season, there is no easy round here. Here, only strength can give you the right to live.
And no one will be merciful to you.
Grizzlies can use four games to solve the pelican, will never drag to the fifth game. They can finish the game in three quarters, so they don''t have to spend the last minute with the pelicans.
This is Anthony Davis''s first perception of the playoffs, and their opponents will try their best to solve problems quickly.
After Butler''s layup, the pelican has the right to attack.
Now Davis knows it''s not a wise choice to be with link. Although Davis is the pelican break through the deadlock, but now the situation is not the same, Davis must rely on the strength of his teammates.
This time, Davis did not continue to fight link in the low post, but set up a cover for the team''s number two scorer, teric Evans.
Teric Evans is undoubtedly a model of starting at the top and peaking for a year.
In rookie season, Evans can take 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per field. Before Evans, those who can knock down 20 + 5 + 5 data in rookie season are Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
It''s a historical rookie number, no doubt.
At the time, everyone thought Evans had a bright future.
Results in the second year of his career, not only did Evans not improve, the data also shrank to 17.8 points, 5.6 assists and 4.8 rebounds.
In the third season, he scored 16.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.6 rebounds, and in the fourth year, 15.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists...
his annual retrogression can be said to be quite stable.
Gradually, Evans was abandoned by the king, and a super rookie fell.
But when he came to the pelican, Evans showed signs of recovery. This season''s regular season, he can take 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, which is the pelican team''s second point except Davis.
Evans has not only regained his reputation, but also his confidence.
So, as soon as Davis''s screen was in place, Evans broke through confidently.
He believes in Davis'' quality of cover and his ability to break through the attack.
Evans was delighted to see Tobias Harris, who was defending himself, behind Davis.
He took off on one foot and put up his hands to lay up. The pelicans'' first point in the playoffs is up to me!
But Evans had just taken off when Yu Guangzhong saw a palm.
"Huh?"
Evans also reflected who it was, the basketball was directly photographed on the backboard!
Who else could it be? Only link, the "Bear King", can do such cruel things.
In Evans breakthrough moment, link quickly changed defense and turned to catch up. From beginning to end, Evans was in link''s hunting range.
It''s just that Evans, as a prey, doesn''t know about it.
Evans was knocked to the ground, but link''s cover was very clean, so the referee didn''t blow a foul.
Cut Davis''s ball first, and then cover Evans''s. Two of the pelicans'' top scorers were picked up by link in turn.
After Davis, Evans''s mentality collapsed.
Link in the regular season has been terrible enough, but in the playoffs, the strength can be even better!
Link this time did not have the backcourt long pass, but he dribbled the ball over the midfield line.
In the pelican team half-time, in the face of Davis blocking, link''s upper body a virtual shake, let Davis some legs soft.
He doesn''t know which direction this guy is going to break in.
But link didn''t break through, and without warning passed the ball to Conley, who cut from the left.
Conley after receiving the ball breakthrough pick basket is successful, his left hand to pick the basket has reached the point of perfection, Asik simply can not block.
6-0, grizzlies continue to lead!
Link hasn''t scored yet, but his influence is everywhere. With two assists, one steal and one block, he has made the pelican passive even if he can''t score."See, Kevin? It''s pelicans, not Grizzlies, who are in trouble. What do you expect these playoff rookies to be like at FedEx? Be realistic, Memphis is the cruelest place in the League
Bill Simmons, inexplicably cheerful, turned out to be such a comfortable thing as a supporter of link and grizzly bear.
It''s just a kind of enjoyment to watch link play, OK!
At this point, the pelican players have some confidence. At this point, the head coach should pause and appease the young players so as not to let them get deeper and deeper in fear.
But pelicans coach Monty Williams is also a playoff rookie.
The last time he led the team in the playoffs was in the 10-11 season, but the team was kicked out in just four games, so he didn''t learn much at all.
In the three seasons since then, the pelican has not won more than 35 games in any season, and Monty Williams has lost most of the time, so it''s hard to sum up the winning experience.
The reason why the pelicans still keep Monty Williams as the manager, frankly speaking, is to find him to take the lead to rebuild the team, and did not expect him to lead the team to play a good result in the playoffs.
Without a pause, the pelican players have to walk alone in fear.
In fact, Monty Williams may have been scared himself.
Davis this time still received the basketball in the middle distance, but he did not try the back single, but wanted to face frame attack.
Davis turned to face the basket, protecting the ball very carefully.
He nimbly made several three threat moves in an attempt to disrupt link''s center of gravity.
But link did not move, and there was no extra movement except that one hand remained in front of Davis.
Link will not only aggressively steal and block, when it is time, he is also very steady.
Davis saw that his three threats had no effect, so he made a fake shot and dribbled through!
Davis has a great pace and is very flexible. So although the absolute speed is not fast, but to break through the defense line is very easy.
But Davis had just taken the first step when link stopped him.
Link''s speed of light reaction, did not let Davis play his pace advantage.
"Bad!" Davis knew he was stuck again, but there was no other way out for the moment.
Passing routes have been blocked, Davis''s only choice is to attack the box!
He had to put all his eggs in one basket, and the comet dashed up like the earth.
Davis has an advantage over link in height and arm length. Once he rushes up, it is basically impossible to stop him.
In this case, either Davis is a good spacer or the other side fouls.
Hard cover Davis? No one can do it.
However, when Davis took off, he saw link''s height was gradually surpassing himself!
After a while, link''s hand was on the basketball.
Davis was blocked by this powerful force, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
And the basketball in his hand was finally fanned out by link.
Anthony Davies''s positive breakthrough was taken by link directly! In link''s side, Davis, who played superstar data in the regular season, was as powerless as a middle school student!
Davis fell out of the court, Butler received the first time by link fan out of the basketball, led the team fast break.
What about link? He looked at Davis, who had fallen to the ground, and gave a smile, as if he were going to finish the incredible adventure just like that. It was a light task.
Then, link rushed to the "thick eyebrow" and stretched out his right hand in a strong posture. "Boy, are you ok?"
Pelican team mentality is broken!
Their strongest end point is in front of link, there is no threat at all!
Randolph, who was sitting on the edge of the court in a suit and a suit, shook his head helplessly. He thought that Davis might not have been so miserable if he was against himself.
It''s just a pity that boy is not very lucky.
"Now, who else thinks there''s something wrong with the Grizzlies'' position four?" Bill Simmons in the barber''s chair spread out his hands and said that link was really up to all five positions.
Kevin Haran, next to Simmons, didn''t speak, just sighed.
So far, the only focus of today''s game is the live broadcast of Simmons''s haircut at half-time.
