At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies trailed the Nuggets by 15 points. Thunder fans and Knicks fans must be very pleased with the result, and they really wish the Grizzlies lost a little bit more today.

After all, the results of the first round of this year's All-Star voting must have disappointed fans of these two teams. Kevin Durant has dominated the Western Conference's front line for several years, and he was even one step short of winning the O'Brien Trophy last season. As a result, this year's All-Star vote was actually killed by Link, and it's no wonder that Thunder fans aren't angry.

And although Anthony does not directly compete with Link, the number of votes is still so much worse than Link after performing so well this season, and Knicks fans must be unconvinced.

In the minds of most people, Link is still just a third-year pawn. Compare him with superstars such as Durant and Anthony? Not good enough at all!

Although this is only the result of the first round of voting, there may be a turnaround later. But even so, Thunder fans and Knicks fans are already quite outraged.

Therefore, on the day the results were announced, it happened that the Grizzlies trailed the Nuggets by 15 points at halftime, and the mood of Knicks fans and Thunder fans instantly improved a lot.

They really hope that the Nuggets can show the world that Link's votes are not true!

Meanwhile, in the Grizzlies' locker room, Marshal Stevens was setting up his tactics for the second half.

Being 15 points behind is tricky, but it's far from the end. If anyone thought the Grizzlies would only play tailwinds, Stevens is going to turn their minds upside down today.

"We were very passive in the first half, and the rhythm was brought fast by the Nuggets. Their defense was very tough today, and everyone's quick footsteps ensured that their switching efficiency is very high. So in the second half, we also need to pay attention. Put it on the defensive end!" Stevens tapped the tactical board, and for a moment, Link felt as if standing in front of him had become Hollins again.

Focus on the defensive end, it's been a long time since I heard someone emphasize this sentence.

"The Nuggets like to play team offense, so in the second half, we will resolutely implement man-to-man defense and don't give the opponent a passing route. In one-on-one terms, the Nuggets don't really have a one-on-one player in the team. So, offense Efficiency will definitely go down.”

"As for the offense, we just need to open space for Link in the second half. The team's offense was obviously restrained by the Nuggets, so in the second half, we must simplify the complexities. Open up the space and give Link enough ground to use his punches. Etc. When the Nuggets start to double-team, you must seize the opportunity!"

In the end, Stevens did not say, "When the Nuggets start to double-team, Link must find a teammate in the open position", but told others that they must seize the opportunity. Because the young marshal believed that Link would definitely send the ball to the right place, even if he didn't need to remind him.

Link nodded solemnly, that is to say, he must score very hard in the second half.

In the first half of the game, Link had only 12 points but 5 assists due to strategic issues.

In the second half, Link knew very well that he had to further increase his aggression. Indeed, the team is now 15 points behind, the situation is difficult, and the burden is all on him.

But taking up the heavy responsibility to lead the team forward, isn't this what a headed star should do?

Link was not afraid, but rather looked forward to it. The person who is second only to Kobe Bryant and James in the All-Star vote will not be brought down so easily.

Old Karl was in such a good mood today that he didn't even swear during halftime.

There's nothing like giving the Grizzlies a shot on a day of celebration in Memphis.

Don't look at being an old man, but George Karl's revenge is very heavy. The experience of being kicked out in the first round by the Grizzlies last season, the old man still remembers it in his heart.

He knew that the little back named Stevens liked egalitarianism. So today, Sr. Carl let Stevens experience what is called the extreme of egalitarianism.

Not only the offense, but also the defense, George Karl has made an egalitarian approach today.

In the first half of the game, the Nuggets had a decent defensive performance in all five positions. They switched defenses decisively and broke the Grizzlies' established tactics several times. On the offensive end, everyone in the Nuggets is a star, and everyone can score when they stand up.

George Karl believes that as long as the Nuggets can maintain their state in the second half, those who exchange weapons for tickets during the day will definitely hold the tickets in piles to exchange their weapons.

This is the consequence of pissing off an old basketball guy!

The cheering team exited, and the cheers at the scene instantly became louder. Don't get me wrong, the fans weren't applauding the cheerleaders, they were shouting for the players back on the court.

On the basketball court, the protagonist is always the player.

Link jumped twice after he came on the court, and he felt like he was ready to try. A 15-point difference seems like a lot, but if you think about it, it's only a matter of a few rounds.

If you want to play an offensive climax, it is nothing more than perfecting both defense and offense. While forcing the opponent not to score, your team quickly scores.

On the defensive end, Link has confidence in his teammates. On the offensive end, Link has more confidence in himself!

"The second half of the game officially started. This may be the worst second half start the Grizzlies have played so far this season. Coach Stevens stood on the sidelines seriously. We don't know what he arranged at halftime, but We'll see results soon!"

The Nuggets took the lead, and Ty Lawson gestured while controlling the ball over half court, looking more confident than at the beginning of the game.

Lawson has always been a favorite of George Karl, averaging 20 minutes per game in his rookie season. And this focus has finally paid off. This season, Lawson is able to get the next assists per game. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the point guard of the first echelon of the league.

But as soon as Lawson got close to the three-point line, Mike Conley posted it very roughly. The Grizzlies need to strengthen their defense, it's obvious.

But the stocky Lawson was not afraid of physical confrontation. He leaned on Conley to forcefully accelerate, like a sharp knife, and cut a crack in the Grizzlies' defense.

Lawson wanted to find teammates after the break, as he did in the first half. But this time he found that there was no passing route at all! The Grizzlies did not shrink, but still resolutely implement man-to-man tactics!

Stevens clenched his fist secretly, and the tactics were executed very successfully, it depends on whether Conley can prevent it!

As expected, Lawson only leaned on Conley to force a layup, but Conley covered Lawson's head with his height advantage. Lawson finally threw a high layup and hit a layup, but it's a pity that his feel is a little worse than that of Curry, Link and others.

The high throw hit the board, rubbed the backboard and hit the front of the basket, and the Nuggets failed the first attack!

"Damn, what are you playing!? Do you think you are Carmelo Anthony? Pass it, pass the ball!" George Karl exploded in an instant. The old man was joking with the players in the locker room just now. If you say turn your face, turn your face.

No way, Crazy Carl is just so rude.

Gasol protected the defensive rebound and wanted to counterattack with a long pass, but the Spaniard found that the Nuggets had all retreated. It has to be said that the Nuggets' retreat speed is really fast, and the "Denver Track and Field Team" is not a false name.

Lawson, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Faried and McGee, from No. 1 to No. 5, are all masters who can run.

Conley took the basketball and pushed forward slowly, only to grind the position with the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are ready to take on the Grizzlies' team offense. As everyone knows, Conley handed over the ball just after halftime.

No one else caught the ball, it was Link who brought Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton to the scene!

The moment Link received the basketball, the cheers in the FedEx Arena doubled!

Wilson Chandler raised his trouser legs, and he was not afraid to confront Link with his strong body.

George Karl also stood up excitedly. To be honest, Chandler's defense was much tougher than last season's Afflalo.

Link slowly approached Chandler after holding the ball, although Chandler was full of tattoos and had a ferocious face. But in fact, this guy's stature is similar to Link's.

Chandler has always been a decent player, in New York and in the Nuggets.

His defense isn't bad, but he's a little short of the top defenders.

Facing this guy who had been baptized by socialist basketball, Link frequently started to dribble the ball under his crotch, and Chandler stepped back in small steps to prevent Link from breaking through.

At this moment, Link suddenly straightened up, and the dribbling rhythm suddenly stopped, as if he was about to pull up and shoot!

Chandler immediately took a step forward, but the next second, Link passed by Chandler like the wind.

That's not a shot, it's just a Buddha fake! Although simple, it is very effective to match the change of rhythm!

"Link made a breakthrough, Wilson Chandler was tricked!" Hubby Brown shouted excitedly. Sometimes Link's play was not like a striker at all, but more like a defender!

After breaking through Chandler, Link made an easy pull-up jumper from the mid-range. The difference has become 13 points, which is still very large. But Link's goal sounded the horn for the Grizzlies to counterattack.

After scoring the goal, Link did not celebrate or high-five his teammates. Instead, he looked at George Karl on the sidelines and shouted, "You have to find someone to guard me, George!"

Old Carl's face instantly turned red.
