Two Hundred and Twenty Seven: Twenty+Five+Five Club Reservations
The Grizzlies' new aid Quincy Ponderset faced Courtney Lee from beyond the arc. The latter's catch and shot were severely disturbed and he hit the iron again.
After hearing the sound of the iron on the bench, Link felt a little heartache. The basket at the FedEx Arena would suffer a lot today.
"Still didn't make it. The Rockets' tactics are too simple. It's not a problem to play simple tactics, but you have to have the personal ability of a superstar to support. But the Rockets, it is obvious that neither is accounted for."
After the basketball popped up, Pau Gasol firmly protected the basketball. Dalemport averaged nearly 4 offensive rebounds per game at his peak, but now Lian Po is old.
This time, Gasol made a long pass directly from the backcourt and sent the ball to Poundset, who had just completed the defense.
Poundset leaned on Cantley Lee and smashed to the basket. At this point, the Rockets' two insiders, Dalemporter and Scola, haven't run past the half, and the Rockets' basket is unguarded at all.
In the end, Ponderset completed the offense with a one-handed dunk, which made the audience shout. And this is already Ponderset's 6th point of the game. So far in the third quarter, Ponderset made three of three shots.
From the first quarter of the game, from the starter to the bench, the Rockets rout across the board! At this point, the Grizzlies have 15 points ahead of the Rockets. Link sat comfortably on the bench, and the game didn't even require him to exert too much energy.
"Beautiful goal, the process of this game is absolutely unthinkable before. The Rockets are helpless in front of the Grizzlies. Last season, they could still play a close game. But now, the gap between the two teams It's pretty obvious."
The game was suspended again, and the on-site camera deliberately gave McHale a close-up. I have to say that although "Refrigerator" wanted to pretend to be calm, the embarrassment could not be concealed.
At this point the game has reached the third quarter, leaving fewer and fewer opportunities for the Rockets to come back. Martin's hit rate was not good today, and the Rockets were blown up by the Grizzlies. McHale really didn't know what to do. Could it be that he had to wear a jersey himself?
This time, McHale emphasized that the team needs to shoot more three-pointers and protect the rebounds on the defensive end. However, these two arrangements obviously cannot make the Rockets reverse the game.
In the end, the Rockets were beaten 31 to 16 in the third quarter. They entered the fourth quarter with a 25-point disadvantage.
Such a big point difference, so that the Rockets players have long lost their temper. And even more frightening, the Grizzlies didn't let their guard down with a 25-point lead.
In the fourth quarter, Link, Randolph and Guy were still strong, killing the Rockets' hope of winning. 3 minutes and 53 seconds before the end of the game, Hollins waved his hand and replaced all the main players. Even the Iranian center Haddadi got a chance to play.
Without a doubt, this means the Grizzlies have lit their victory cigar!
The game got boring, but no Grizzlies left the field early. After all, this was the Grizzlies' first big win this season, and they were too excited to leave early.
Now, Grizzlies fans are not enjoying the game itself, but the joy of winning.
"It seems that the competition is over, and the Grizzlies have replaced the full bench lineup. If nothing else, Link and others will not play in the last nearly 4 minutes of the game." Hubie Brown was in a good mood, In the case of losing Arthur and Conley, the Rockets can be abused, which indeed proves that the two sides are no longer on the same level.
"Link's performance today was very good. In the first game of the new season, he scored 23 points, 4 assists and 8 rebounds. Don't forget, Link has 3 steals today! This young man is very good on the defensive end. His accomplishments can already be compared with the top stars. He is still versatile, and his improvement is visible to the naked eye. I am very much looking forward to his performance this year."
"In addition, Randolph is still strong, with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals in the whole game. Scola didn't get any advantage over Randolph today,
Zac directly destroyed the Argentine. Gay scored 14 points, and it seems he's recovering well. Vasquez had 10 points and 6 assists, and was amazing in his first start. In addition, Ponderset and Tony. Allen also have the possibility of scoring in double figures. "
Brown smiled happily after reading the Grizzlies' stats. Unlike the Rockets, who rely on Martin's personal offense, everyone on the Grizzlies is involved in the offense.
Link has become more and more mature, and now no one will be surprised to see him cut all-around stats.
Hubie Brown can even look forward to seeing if Link can get 20+5+5 data this season.
Last season, Link missed the opportunity to get 20+5+5 in his rookie season, but this year, Link is very likely to achieve this achievement.
Don't look at 20+5+5, it doesn't seem to be too difficult, but in fact, only 6 players in the league last season were able to play such data. And there are only 7 people in NBA history who can play this kind of data in their careers! These 7, all of them are legends!
Hubie Brown believes that Link will definitely become a member of the 20+5+5 club this season.
Witnessing the growth of a Grizzlies rookie has been enough fun for Hubie Brown this season.
After a few minutes, the game was over. The score was fixed at 113 to 93. The Grizzlies beat the Houston Rockets by 20 points at home and made a good start to the new season!
The Grizzlies shot a 56.3% overall shooting percentage today, which can be said to fully reflect the Rockets' defensive level.
On the other hand, the Rockets scored less than 100 points, which undoubtedly highlights the Grizzlies' defensive skills.
After the game, countless reporters surrounded Link. Rudy Guy couldn't help sighing when he saw this scene.
How long has it been since? The undrafted one has already become the biggest star in Memphis. Now, even he and Randolph had to step aside.
On the sidelines, Lionel Hollins also breathed a sigh of relief. Losing Arthur and Conley, he is still very worried about the state of the team in the last few games. But fortunately, Vasquez seems to be well suited to the starting role. Of course, the most important thing is that Link really played at an All-Star level.
When the Grizzlies gave Link more chances, Link did not get overwhelmed, but did better.
But Hollings is also well aware that this is not the real test. The next two games against the Thunder and the Spurs were the real moments to test the quality of the Grizzlies and Link.
As for the Houston Rockets? They really can't do it this year!
※※※
At the same time as the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies, Minneapolis's Target Center, the Timberwolves fans finally waited for the "Spanish Golden Boy" Ricky Rubio's debut.
Rubio was drafted fifth overall in 2009, but did not officially land in the NBA until today, two years later.
In the first game of the NBA, Rubio sent out all-around data of 6 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, which is worthy of the expectations of the Timberwolves fans.
But today at the Target Center, the protagonist is not Rubio, but Durant who scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists!
Yesterday, the Thunder just finished the opener with the Magic. Today, they rushed to Minneapolis non-stop, and played such a wonderful game without any fatigue.
Among them, Durant scored 30 points in both games! Durant's progress is obvious to all. Although he has been the scoring champion for two consecutive times, everyone can clearly see that this is not the upper limit of Durant!
People say that Durant may become the first player in the past 20 years to be the first player to score in a row after Jordan!
Under Durant's heroic performance, the Timberwolves lost at home, and the Thunder won back-to-back two-game winning streaks!
After the game, compared with Durant, the popularity of Rubio, Love and Beasley was really low.
"Kevin, do you think you can achieve the three-game scoring title!?"
"What do you think of Ricky Rubio, do you think his performance is worthy of the expectations people have of him?"
"Kevin, is your goal for the championship in the new season? This time, you won't be eliminated in the first round, right?"
The reporters asked Durant a lot of questions, and Durant answered them patiently one by one. But in the end, a reporter's question made Durant frown.
"Kevin, the Thunder will meet the Grizzlies again in the next game. Last season, the Thunder were eliminated by the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. You were once guarded by Link and made 3 of 14 shots, which directly led to The series is over. What will you do when you meet the Grizzlies and Link again!?"
The reporter's question succeeded in making Durant angry. Last season, he was 3-for-14 from the field in the first round. This summer, Kobe Bryant's loss in the game... All the grievances and unwillingness flooded into Durant's heart at this moment. Durant gritted his teeth at the thought of Link.
So, the black-bellied No. 35 approached the microphone and said in a low voice, "We will continue to win, we will destroy everything."
