Three Hundred and Seventy Four: Gentleness Ends Here

The first game of the opening game of the new season will be away to play, which shows that the league is indeed not very optimistic about the box office appeal of the Grizzlies.

Clippers VS Grizzlies, this game is definitely a blockbuster. After all, both teams are strong in the Western Conference, and Griffin and Link had some grievances before.

This game has attracted much attention before the start. After all, the Grizzlies have really experienced too many changes this summer. People really want to see whether the current Memphis Grizzlies have become stronger or weaker.

Indeed, the Grizzlies have shown impressive strength in the four games of the preseason, but the preseason is still not an official game. It is not unheard of for a good preseason game to result in a crash in the regular season.

So today's game was listed as a national live broadcast by ESPN! The TV station also decided to send out a luxurious commentary lineup composed of Mike Breen and Kevin Harlan. By the way, also invited a very special guest - ESPN data analysis expert John. Hollinger.

"I still stick to my point of view. I think the Clippers are very likely to win at home." Hollinger may not have imagined that he wrote a forward-looking article, but it ended up on TV, and it was broadcast live across the United States in the game.

"Even if the Grizzlies win four straight preseason games, do you still stick to your point of view?" An hour before the game started, ESPN was already warming up for the game.

Faced with Mike Brin's question, Hollinger nodded affirmatively, "In the four preseason games of the Grizzlies, it seemed that the offense seemed to be smoother and the defense was stronger. But to be honest, none of their four opponents showed Treat the game according to the state of the regular season. Facing the opponent's loose defense, it is not difficult to play a smooth offense. But today, the Los Angeles Clippers will not be loose. After all, the goal of the Clippers is the championship."

Hollinger continued to analyze, "The Clippers' reinforcements this summer are very smart. Yes, I used the word smart. They should work smarter, not harder. This is the difference between the Clippers and the Grizzlies. The Clippers First of all, Billups was kept. This is a decision that cannot go wrong. Secondly, the Clippers let go of Nick Young and signed Matt Barnes, who is both offensive and defensive. Why was Nick Young let go? ?Because the offensive efficiency is too low, and he can’t do a good job of defense. As a result, this player is now in the Grizzlies, and the two teams’ operations will be judged.”

"In addition, the Clippers' most important signing this summer is the acquisition of Jamal Crawford at a price of $21 million over four years. Crawford is a combo guard who can score and Has a certain organizational ability. His joining has made the Clippers' bench flourish. In terms of bench firepower, the Grizzlies and the Clippers are completely incomparable. Unless, Link is like last season's Western Conference Finals , only three minutes rest in each game."

Hollinger's statement undoubtedly made the Los Angeles fans very happy, as if the Clippers had already won the game before the game started.

But at this time, the Grizzlies players sitting in the locker room of the Staples Center don't think so. They are going to make a big fuss at Staples today!

In the locker room, everyone is seriously changing equipment. Link took out his new sneakers and looked at them carefully.

This looks like a pair of ordinary Kobe 6th generation basketball shoes, but the color of the shoes is dark blue, with Link's number 0 and his signature on the heel. Most importantly, there are several words engraved on the side of the sole.

Link used to write these words on every pair of sneakers he got. But now, Nike will tailor it all for him!

Link looked at this pair of sneakers and smiled with relief. This is his first pair of exclusive sneakers, the Kobe 6th Generation Link special edition!

According to Austin's data, the special edition sneaker has been selling well since its launch, and Tennessee sold out directly.

Link's commercial value in the sneaker market was revealed for the first time. Austin believes Link will have his own signature shoe after this season.

Putting on his sneakers, Link stood up and jumped twice. He felt that his whole body was full of strength,

Just wait for the battle to begin!

"Okay guys, the opening game, I know, you've been waiting for this moment for a long time!" Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Stevens clapped his hands and began to speak before the game.

The players nodded in agreement one by one, they had indeed waited too long! From the moment they stepped off the plane, the Grizzlies were eager to fight!

"Very good, keep this feeling of hunger and thirst! After playing, don't give them any breathing room. From the beginning of the game, you must use an aggressive style of play to gain an advantage!" Stevens clapped his fists Don't be fooled by Stevens' elegant appearance when shooting tactical whiteboards. He is always full of passion in the face of the game.

"Link, you play the third position today, and Andre plays the second position. Caron Butler's lateral movement speed should become very slow this season, don't give him face, cut him into pieces .I know that guy named John Hollinger has always looked down on us. He seems to think that a small ball market should not have victory and honor. So let him see today, what is a strong Western Conference!"

"Roar!" The players roared, and then stood up one after another. Everyone is now looking at Link, at this brand new young leader.

They were waiting for him to call the shots.

"We fight, we bleed, we win! Let's go, villains!" After speaking, Link pushed open the door of the locker room and rushed out first.

When he walked out of the player tunnel, huge boos came to his face. But the booing will only make Link more excited.

Stepping onto the court, the Grizzlies players began to warm up. The Clippers and the Grizzlies have almost no communication. After all, the two sides are considered half-mortal rival teams.

After seeing a player warming up for the Clippers at halftime, Link couldn't help but walk over and shouted his name.

"Hill, can I have a few words with you?" Link looked at the back of No. 33, which was full of traces of time.

A burly man with a slightly square face and a cropped head turned around and smiled at Link, "Hi Lin, you're stronger than last season."

Although so many years have passed, Grant Hill's smile is still so charming.

In the league's third season, Link was finally able to speak to Hill properly for the first time. In the previous two seasons, either Hill was injured and was not present, or he had no chance to speak before and after the game, which made Link extremely regretful.

But now, Link is standing in front of his idol Hill. He was a little excited, so excited that he was incoherent.

"I...that..."

"Hahaha, you look a little nervous? It's okay, this is not the first time you have played the opener. Relax and play at your own level. Now is your era, you must let go and fight, don't give yourself There are regrets in my career. However, if I meet you later, I will not be merciful."

Elegant, gentle, gentleman... Sure enough, Hill revealed these labels in every gesture.

"Thank you for your reminder, Hill. I just want to say, thank you. I grew up watching your ball. It was you who made me firmly walk on the road of basketball. Thank you!"

"Hey, don't say that, it looks like I'm very old, I'm only in my thirties..." Hill stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. Because he suddenly realized that he will be 40 years old in October this year...

For a professional player, this is a desperate number.

With a wry smile, Hill and Link hugged gently, and then Link turned and returned to his own half.

Before Hill retired, Link finally had a close contact with his idol, which was considered to have fulfilled his wish.

The moment Link turned and left the Clippers halfcourt, the tenderness before the game ended. From now until the last minute of the game, the only thing left is to kill!

Link looked towards the commentary booth at the Staples Center, staring at John Hollinger, who was talking eloquently.

Tonight, another basketball expert on paper will be ruined.
