Six Hundred and Thirty-Five: Boy, Look at that Pennant
Link's layup broke all the illusions of Davis and the Pelicans.
Beat the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Arena? This is no easy task.
The second quarter had just begun, and the 7-point difference was leveled. What about after that? How much will the difference be widened?
"Double-team! We must also double-team him as soon as possible! Tony Allen is negligible on offense, so next we will also double-team Link!"
Monty Williams roared loudly off the court, and the pull-bar layup that Link had just completed by dodging Davis had already made Monty Williams see the gap between Link and the others.
Pure one-on-one defense, even if Davis defends, it is difficult to limit Link.
You have no idea what he's going to do next, and what's even scarier is that no matter what he does next, he can score.
Therefore, Williams needs to be double-teamed. Link can only be restrained by double-teaming.
Davis listened to the coach's arrangement, and a sense of frustration instantly filled his body. In just three rounds, he's already proven unable to guard Link in one-on-ones.
At first, Davis thought he and Link could explode each other. But it turned out that there was no mutual explosion at all, and he could only let Link be slaughtered.
But then I thought about it, although now I have to rely on double teams to limit Link. But as long as the game can be won, everything is worth it.
As long as he can win, Davis doesn't care what method the team uses.
And just like that, the time for the break between festivals is over. Under the cheers of the Grizzlies fans, the defending champion who had just equalized for the team played again.
In the first quarter, the Grizzlies seemed to be just warming up. After the second quarter was serious, the situation reversed in an instant!
Davis moved his arms and shoulders, but when he looked up at his opponent, he was dumbfounded.
To be exact, the entire Pelicans were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the Grizzlies would change again so quickly!
"The Grizzlies made another substitution. Coach Jogel replaced Tony Allen with Nick Young. This substitution was very sudden. It seems that they want to increase their offensive firepower?"
Monty Williams was stunned, Nick Young came up, wouldn't that double-team tactic be in vain! ?
Could it be that his arrangements were all guessed by the other party! ?
Jogel turned his head to look at the other half, and found that Monty Williams was surprised, so he smiled slightly.
Granted, he's no offense expert. Many of the Grizzlies' offensive routines were even designed by his assistant Quin Snyder. But in the defense he is good at, Jogel is full of confidence.
As a defensive coach, he just thought about it. If he were in a situation with the Pelicans, what would he do with Monty Williams.
So, based on his guesses about the Pelicans' defensive arrangement, he made a change in offensive strategy.
Judging from the surprised expression on Monty Williams' face, he seemed to have guessed it.
Jogel sat back on the bench in peace, his work done. Next, look at Link's.
Phil Jackson is great because he can create isolation space for Kobe and Jordan by relying on the triangle offense. The rest is up to Kobe and Jordan himself.
Jogel found that his current mentality is somewhat like a "Zen Master", the opportunity has been created, and the rest is to watch the star perform.
After the game restarted, the Pelicans still did not score. This time, Davis' jump shot from the perimeter was solidly interfered by Link. If Davis continues to dodge and play like this, his efficiency will definitely plummet.
Not being able to score in the first attack after coming back from a timeout is a very demoralizing thing.
All the Pelicans are a little discouraged now. They only have the haze of defeats after the start of the second quarter, and they have long forgotten the glory of defeating the Heat in the last game.
Monty Williams saw Conley advancing with the ball, and finally waved to the players, indicating that the plan to double-team Link was still executed!
Nick Young's feel may not always be there,
He is a nerve knife player. So, Monty Williams decided to gamble.
Just as Link received the basketball and was about to confront Davis, Aminu double-teamed.
Under the interference of the two "gibbons", Link did not panic, but calmly passed the ball to Iguodala.
Iguodala received the ball, and Eric Gordon quickly went over to fill in. As such. The one left out becomes Nick Young.
Iguodala's passing vision is also very broad. When Gordon ran to him, Iguodala sent the ball to the open space for the first time.
Nick Young didn't pass the ball anymore, but shot directly! He was the only player in the main rotation last season who never assisted Link. It is impossible to pass the ball, not in this life.
Monty Williams' heart was in his throat. Whether the double-team tactic can be successful depends on this ball!
The basketball finally hit the front of the basket and bounced high. Just as Monty Williams was about to throw his fists to celebrate, the basketball fell again toward the hoop.
"no no......"
"brush!"
The basketball entered the net, and Monty Williams' face was pale, as if he had just been on a roller coaster.
Nick Young made a three-pointer, and he felt hot today! If you don't want him to score 9 points in a minute, don't double-team!
"When Link faced a double-team, he always handled the ball in the most correct way, which is really commendable. Although this goal was not a direct assist by Link, his first shot was very timely. The Bears are 3 points ahead, and the Pelicans seem to be overwhelmed."
"It's no wonder they can withstand it. They annoyed the top 50 superstars in the new season. The Pelicans will just wait and cry." O'Neal's mentality of watching the game has changed completely. At first, he wanted to see Link and David. confrontation.
But now, O'Neal is only looking forward to Link's performance. Davis is indeed talented, and if nothing else, he will definitely grow into a superstar. Can you fight Link? He's still a long way off.
The Pelicans are a little flustered right now. They can't figure out a way to score that works. Everyone has to try it.
This time, it was Holiday who tried it out. His beautiful breakthrough allowed him to tear apart Conley's defense, and his clever high-throw layup also allowed the basketball to successfully pass the "European fortress" of Gasol.
But unfortunately, the basketball missed the target by millimeters after wiping the board, and ultimately missed.
If you are playing NBA2K now, the blue mark that represents the cold feeling should appear at the feet of all five of the Pelicans. Since the start of the second quarter, the Pelicans have not scored a point!
"It's so hard, Holiday's offense was so hard. The Pelicans have to be careful now, they can't let the Grizzlies score again. Once the Grizzlies hit an offensive climax, they're going to get out of hand. No, Grizzlies. The Bears are on a 10-0 run now...Pelicans take care of themselves."
Davis is very nervous now, he doesn't know what Link will do next. Before he knew it, Davis had been completely dominated by Link and completely fell into Link's rhythm.
Link was cruising beyond the three-point arc, and Davis followed nervously. This time, the Pelicans did not dare to double-team.
"AD, do you see the dome of FedEx Arena?" Link spoke to Davis as he ran.
Davis ignored it, he just wanted to concentrate on defense.
"See that championship pennant? I grabbed it from LeBron. You only beat my losers, so you can't beat me too! I'm a fucking champion!"
Link didn't care whether Davis responded, and he didn't need Davis to respond to himself anyway. He just wanted to be sure that Davis could hear what he was saying.
As a No. 1 pick, Davis naturally heard a lot of trash talk last season. But not a single sentence would overwhelm him like just now.
"I'm a fucking champion."
After Link shouted these words, Davis instantly felt that Link was a "god" aloof. It's impossible to beat him.
Link cut in quickly after spraying the trash talk. In a daze, Davis's follow-up speed was half a beat slower.
Mike Conley, who was on the move, saw Link's gesture and threw the ball into the air.
Everyone's eyes followed the basketball. They looked up and found that the lights were a bit dazzling.
Soon, a sturdy figure covered the harsh light. He held the basketball with one hand, and the basketball looked like a sun under the light.
Beneath the "sun" is the unlovable Anthony Davis, who can't do anything about what happened to him.
"boom!"
Everyone stood up, including the .T trio.
Davis saw the crowd turn up at the scene, and saw Conley yell at Link excitedly and touch his chest.
But Davis found that he couldn't hear anything, and the dunk just now completely shut down all his fantasies about winning.
Only one voice kept echoing in Davis' mind, "I'm a fucking champion."
