Three Hundred and Eighty Six: The Blank Dome

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [February Tian Novels Network] The fastest update! No ads!

Friday, November 9. Many Memphis citizens were very excited early this morning, not because the weekend would usher in after today, but because tonight, a game that everyone was looking forward to was about to start.

Before the start of the game, the major TV stations did not know how many times the special program about the Grizzlies and the Rockets was broadcast.

Regarding the comparison between Link and Harden, the looks of the two have even been compared from the court. It can be said that before the game started, it was already full of gimmicks.

However, fans and the media seem to have overlooked a situation. Link has been playing the third position since the beginning of the season. Stevens has never let Link play the second position, so if nothing else, the next game should not change.

Therefore, these things promoted by the media are likely to be a waste of effort in the end. Because in the game, unless there is a misalignment, Link and Harden will never match up!

It's like the 23VS24 that the league advertised wildly in the past few years. Although it may seem like a gimmick, in fact, the number of times the two actually played against each other can only be counted in units of "rounds".

Therefore, Link was not affected by the public opinion of the media. After waking up that morning on the 9th, Link didn't feel too excited. His real opponent is Chandler Parsons, who is called "tall, rich and handsome" by Chinese fans. As for Harden, Link thinks that he will probably not face him today.

Because Stevens has prepared Iguodala + Tony Allen's defensive spree for Harden, which is enough for Harden to drink a pot.

As for McHale's obviously provocative remarks in an interview at the airport yesterday...Link really doesn't care. It's normal for the head coach to publicly support his players before the game.

Besides, after the game, the fans will naturally know who was right.

debate? Too much.

After leaving the door early, Link went straight to the training hall. As always, Jimmy Butler was still the first to come every day. He had already arrived for a while when Link went, and this second-year boy was still waiting for his own opportunity.

But what is different from usual is that the second person to come to the training hall today is Iguodala who rarely arrives early on weekdays.

"Morning Link, how do you feel? The outside world is looking forward to the battle between you and Harden?" Iguodala greeted Link after entering the locker room, looking very relaxed.

"You're playing against James Harden, Andre. I should be asking you, how do you feel?"

"Haha, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep! So today, I came early!" Iguodala smiled and shook the phone in his hand. Only then did Link realize that what was playing on the screen of Iguodala's phone was Rocket The team's game video.

"Studying the video?" Link leaned forward curiously.

"Yes, the media was so noisy, so I studied Harden's game a little more. I have to admit, I gained a lot. Guess, what is the final conclusion I got after watching the video?" Yi Godala had a smile on his face from the moment he walked in, and it didn't look like he was about to face a terrible scorer.

Unless, he feels that his opponent is not terrible.

"Uh... what conclusion did you come to?"

"The conclusion is that the defenses of the Rockets' previous three opponents are too weak! In Memphis, under me, James Harden can't get so many points! Even if he gets it, he has to rely on the number of shots!"

Link glanced at Iguodala, who didn't expect him to be so confident.

Iguodala has always been a low-key person. From the style of play to life, they are very low-key.

In the 76ers, he is unwilling to be the core of the offense. In life, it's hard to imagine that Iguodala has invested in several companies.

His spare time is not nightclubs, women and big spenders, but investment, operation and research.

In Link's view, basketball is even Iguodala's sideline, and this guy's main business is doing business.

But if you don't get in touch with him, you won't see how powerful he is at all.

However, such a person is extremely excited today, even Bilink is looking forward to this game.

"If the people of Houston hear that from you, they're going to be pissed off."

"No, they don't need to hear this sentence. Because right away, they will be able to actually see this happen on the court. Focus on your business, Link. James Harden, leave it to me. You Didn't you say you want to decorate this arena with the championship pennant with me? Come on, let those guys who think Memphis is easy, see what the Grizzlies defense is."

Link nodded slightly. It seems that Iguodala is very serious today.

Perhaps, the bearded man who has performed well recently really aroused Iguodala's interest.

But unfortunately, arousing his interest is not a good thing.

※※※

Just looking at the data, you have no idea what Andre Iguodala has done.

In the Grizzlies' four games, Iguodala's scoring, rebounding and assist data can only be described as mediocre. It seems that after the Grizzlies, Iguodala has completely become a role player. The small forward who once averaged 19 points per game in the 76ers has begun to decline.

That's why people don't promote a Harden-Iguodala matchup. To put it bluntly, Iguodala was completely ignored by the media.

Iguodala actually doesn't care much about this kind of thing. He prefers to be ignored rather than being under the spotlight. In the 76ers, the team was desperately trying to push Iguodala into the spotlight, but Iguodala kept hiding instead.

What really upset Iguodala was the Rockets' haughty attitude.

The foul-mouthed McHale, the nonsense reporters and the relief of the Rockets in Memphis...Houstonians seem to think they're safe. Then Iguodala would like to see whose home field is here.

Iguodala is a professional player, and it is his duty to protect the home court.

Before the start of the game in the evening, when the two sides warmed up, Iguodala was on his hips, looking at the dome of FedEx Arena.

"What are you doing Andre?" Link walked up to Iguodala and looked up. He thought a bat had flown into the arena.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been with the team for so long, and today is our second home game in the new season. I feel like I'm not very familiar with my home game." Iguodala still raised his head when he spoke.

"What's familiar and what's not, it's the same here as everywhere else except for more passionate fans."

"No," said Iguodala, looking away and looking at Link beside him, "This is definitely the most monotonous arena I have ever seen in a dome. There is no retired jersey, no honor banner. In Vancouver, a Canadian flag can still be hung on the dome. Now it’s fine, even the national flag is saved.”

"Well...the angle is really tricky..."

"Link?"

"Um?"

"To hell with proud Houstonians."

"Well, you take care of James Harden, I take care of Chandler Parsons. Then, we take care of McHale together."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then lightly fist bumped.

In the end, Iguodala said something that warmed Link's heart, "Don't worry, I will always watch your back. You just have to go forward bravely. I will do the rest."

Four games later, Andre Iguodala, who found his favorite role, began to truly become a part of Memphis.

Playing here, he is very happy.

The game is about to start, and James Harden, Jeremy Lin and Parsons walked onto the court.

In their hearts, this may be a big battle, but in the hearts of Link and Iguodala, there is only destruction.
