Six Hundred and Twenty-Three: Ways to Earn Respect

Dellavedova regretted it.

He thought that showing his "fierce" side on the court would earn him respect and love in the team. But the fact is quite the opposite. Dellavedova found that his malicious actions in the last game seemed to annoy Link.

"Single... heads-up?" Dellavedova was trembling when he spoke, an undrafted and last season's FMVP heads-up? What a joke!

At Lock Park this year, even a superstar like Durant was hammered by Link. Dellavedova couldn't imagine what it would be like to fight against Link one-on-one.

"Just do your best to defend me, and see if you can defend me once. If you can defend me once, even if you win." Link didn't wait for Dellavedova to agree, he just stood by the Australian with the basketball in his arms. before.

Everyone gathered around the stadium, waiting for the good show to be staged. Everyone knows that Link is teaching a rookie a lesson as a star. His starting point is good, indicating that he did not give up Dellavedova this undrafted.

Didn't Jimmy Butler also grow up in Link's "torture" in the past two years? The results of it? The result is that in the finals last season, Butler shined and became famous in one fell swoop!

The Grizzlies are always the defending champs, and everyone has to do their best if they want to defend their title. Link alone cannot defeat those opponents who are eyeing the championship.

Link is not only trying to be good himself, but also trying to be good with his teammates.

But the way he educates rookies is really special. First, let people carry pink schoolbags, and now they have to one-on-one with others.

Iguodala is thinking that if he were Dellavedova, he would have collapsed when he met such a boss in his rookie season.

Link broke through with the ball and didn't give Dellavedova time to react.

Dellavedova was a little reluctant to guard Link, so he let Link easily smear into the penalty area for a layup.

"Damn, that's not how you defend in the game! Your defense is fucking suitable for the WNBA! Come on!"

Off the court, Jimmy Butler smiled. Just this sentence, his ears could hear calluses. But every time I hear it, I feel so relieved...

Dellavedova clenched his fists, as a rough-hearted Australian, he couldn't stand being treated as a pussy.

"Then, I'm serious about defending, Link." Dellavedova posed and frowned.

Although he is only 1.93 meters tall, he is not too strong. But even so, he didn't have any timid emotions.

Link smiled, this is the most respected place in Dellavedova!

In the next round, Link continued to choose to break through. In fact, Link, who is ten centimeters taller than Dellavedova and has a more dominant wingspan, only needs to use his iconic pull-up jumper to beat Dellavedova. back to Australia.

But he didn't do that. The purpose of his one-on-one match against Dellavedova was not to win.

This time, Dellavedova stuck to Link's side roughly like a fight.

It is said that in the original history, Irving and Dellavedova were very difficult to deal with at the beginning, because Dellavedova's defense in the team's training was very fierce every time, and Irving couldn't stand it.

But in the Grizzlies, Link instead liked Dellavedova's style. The tougher he is, the more likely the Grizzlies will be able to defend their title!

In the defending champion team, no shortcoming, no soft egg is allowed!

Link jumped to the basket and pushed Dellavedova away with a light shoulder.

After that, Link did not hesitate, but jumped in place under the basket and dunked with one hand!

"Boom!" The training hall was full of "groans" from the baskets, and Dellavedova was tragically deducted.

"Come again!" This time, Dellavedova picked up the basketball and stuffed it into Link's arms without waiting for Link to talk trash.

"That boy is quite kind.

"Randolph found that he was beginning to like the Australian undrafted. In his bones, there was a kind of brutality and rebellion unique to the Memphis team.

This time Link chose to bully Dellavedova with a post-up singles. Facing Link, who was taller and stronger than himself, Dellavedova couldn't resist at all.

The collision between the two was very intense, making Quinn Snyder a little nervous.

"It's too dangerous! What are they doing!? We have to stop this one-on-one duel!" Despite the villainous look on Snyder's face, in fact, he was soft-hearted.

As everyone knows, the new Grizzlies coach Dave Joger just waved his hand, "Don't worry, Link has his own way. There are some things, as a coach, it's better not to interfere, Quinn."

Link squeezed to the basket, raised the basketball with both hands and jumped hard, then smashed the ball into the basket through Dellavedova.

After obtaining the better athletic ability of Grant Hill in the 2001-02 season, Link met players like Dellavedova at the basket, and it can be said that he can dunk how he wants.

Dellavedova was knocked to the ground and fell in a state of embarrassment, but quickly got up again. This Australian, who looks a little like a groundhog, seems like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death.

As a player who is not very talented, Dellavedova knows very well that if you are not strong on a team, but you want to be respected by everyone, you have to ignore the data and do the dirty work.

For example, try hard to grab rebounds, quickly help teammates to make up or assist defense, and actively pick and roll for the stars in the team. And most importantly - desperately defending the opposing top attacker.

Over time, you will become an indispensable part of the coach's tactical board, and you will be the most trusted teammate of all players on the field. Because no coach will turn away a player who specializes in dirty work, and no player will dislike a teammate who is willing to work hard.

That's how Dellavedova survived in the NCAA.

So now in the NBA, Dellavedova also wants to use the old ways to gain position and respect. He's grateful that the Grizzlies signed him to a non-guaranteed contract and gave him a chance. But he is not satisfied with this. What he desires is to have a foothold in the NBA and contribute to the Grizzlies' title defense!

His tenacious style will never allow himself to fall!

So, in the third round, when Link made physical contact with Dellavedova again, he could clearly feel that Dellavedova's defensive intensity had risen by another level.

This guy, wasn't it the limit just now?

Dellavedova clung to Link, not flinching. Iguodala can guarantee that no player in the 13-year rookie has such courage.

Link tried hard not to lose his balance, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and stretched his hand back, somewhat pretending to be in front of Dellavedova.

"Fuck!" Dellavedova yelled, reaching for the ball.

What Link was waiting for was now, he flexibly changed hands behind his back, thus avoiding Dellavedova's rush.

It was easy for Link to pass an undrafted rookie.

In the end, Link made a breakthrough immediately after dodging the rush. It seemed that this would be another dunk performance by Link.

As everyone knows, as soon as Link took a step, he felt that the basketball was out of control, and someone stabbed the basketball from behind!

"Damn, you won't keep scoring goals!" Dellavedova clamored for the basketball. Because Link was thrown a step away, he only stabbed the basketball in Link's hand with a diving posture. Walk.

The basketball lost control and rolled toward the baseline. Dellavedova got up immediately, and then fell to the ground for the second time in a row!

"Tsk tsk tsk, the floor will be smashed by him!" Tony Allen bared his teeth, it hurts to look at!

But Dellavedova didn't care so much, and the talent is not enough, so he can only make up with hard work!

In the end, the Australian managed to get the ball back before it rolled off the baseline. He will do anything to defend himself! Even if you fall thousands of times, you must keep the ball!

Dellavedova swooped twice in a row, fell hard enough, and slid directly out of the bottom line.

"It's nonsense!" Snyder couldn't stand it any longer, and was ready to go on the court to stop the two of them dueling.

But just as he was about to step into the court, he saw Link walk near the bottom line and stretched out his hand to Dellavedova, who was lying on the ground.

"You did a great job, Della, you defended me." Link reached out and spoke to Dellavedova. Of course, this time it wasn't trash talk.

"Hahahaha, well done, boy!"

"Not bad, you can actually steal Link from behind! Good job!"

Afterwards, the Grizzlies who were watching on the sidelines also cheered.

Dellavedova breathed heavily, took Link's hand, and stood up again.

"Tired? Did it hurt enough to fall?" Link asked with a smile.

Dellavedova didn't answer, just nodded slightly. To be honest, he was a little angry. He didn't know why Link suddenly wanted to duel himself. Is it possible, just to embarrass yourself?

"So it's not easy to win Respect, Della. But it's easy to lose Respect, no matter how hard you tried, as long as you made a deliberately hurtful move. So sorry, you won All respect will be lost! Do you want to be a respected player, or a rat everyone yells at? You choose. It turns out that you can win even if you don't intentionally hurt people, isn't it?"

After speaking, Link turned to leave. That's all he can do, the rest is up to Dellavedova to figure it out for himself.

The heads-up is over.

It dawned on Dellavedova, ashamed that he had just been angry. It turned out that after doing so much, Link just wanted to tell himself this!

Dellavedova raised his head and looked at Link who was walking off the court. He wanted to say thank you, but in the end he forcibly suppressed the "thank you".

The Aussies know very well that if they really want to thank Link, they should do well on the pitch.

It was his luck to meet such a leader.
