Six Hundred and Forty-Nine: Was Beaten

Mike Miller made Link feel at ease. This was not Link's illusion.

But almost all the players and coaches who have worked with Mike Miller speak highly of him.

The omnipotent Wade commented on Miller, "Miller may be the most powerful player on our team. He is willing to accept any type of physical confrontation. No matter what happens, he can fall to the ground and fight for every situation. a ball."

"Miller's appearance has provided us with stability. He can bring confidence to others. With such a veteran, you can rest assured on these things." Heat coach Spoelstra also praised Miller. I can't stop talking.

Pau Gasol's evaluation is more direct, "Mike Miller is one of the greatest teammates I've ever worked with."

As you can see, Miller has always been a beloved and respected teammate. He has worked with many stars, and almost every star has praised him. He doesn't occupy the ball, but he handles the game in the most correct way after receiving the basketball.

If you don't know what to do next, give the ball to Mike Miller, and he'll automatically take the next step in the right way.

That may be why Bosh publicly lashed out at the Heat management this summer when he learned of Miller's departure.

After Miller scored, the FedEx Arena finally became active again, swept away the deadly haze before.

Link also felt a lot more energetic in an instant. At least now, he doesn't have to bite the bullet and fight the other three.

This time, the Raptors had to fall into a positional battle. When there is no chance to easily counterattack, whether the Raptors can maintain the high efficiency in the first quarter of the game is unknown.

It is difficult for Lowry to find passing opportunities now. Assisting in quick counterattacks and assisting in positional battles are not at the same level of difficulty.

Obviously, Lowry has a hard time tearing the defense with his own personal ability when his teammates are locked out of space to catch the ball.

Limited by his height, Lowry's one-on-one ability in positional battles is not strong. When the tactical system fails to work, Lowry is a little bit blind.

Neither Gay nor DeRozan has a chance for now, and the Raptors' slick offense in the previous quarter has disappeared without a trace.

Naturally, Link needless to say, he will not let any matchup score easily.

And Mike. Miller than Nick. Young, the performance of the defensive end is also better.

Although Miller's athleticism has deteriorated, he is sufficiently aggressive and experienced on the defensive end.

And Miller's height of 2.03 meters is very top-notch in the second position. You can't expect him to lock down the opposing team's leading scorer, but don't worry too much about his defense.

DeRozan eventually took advantage of Amir Johnson's off-ball screen to cut to the basket, received a pass from Lowry, and prepared for a layup.

However, DeRozan had just jumped up when Mike Miller hit him head-on. Old Miller stretched out his arms and was stunned to touch the basketball in DeRozan's hands before DeRozan's body completely rose.

The basketball was shot by Miller like this, and it was inevitable to let go! Although this block is not as ornamental as Link's volleyball cap, it is still a good one!

"Mike Miller blocked DeRozan's layup, and his performance was amazing! Mike Conley received the blocked basketball, and the Grizzlies fought back!"

After being counterattacked by the Raptors for a whole quarter, Link was suffocated for a long time. Now that he finally got a chance to fight back, he naturally won't let it go easily.

The moment Miller blocked DeRozan, Link was already running towards the frontcourt. When he started, the Raptors hadn't had anyone react to back off.

When Kang used a long pass to send the ball to Link, everyone in the Raptors realized that it was too late!

Link received the basketball, and when he ran to the 3-point line in the other half, Gayce had just crossed the half.

This counterattack must hurt the Raptors!

I saw Link take off with both hands holding the ball and both feet at a position more than one step inside the free throw line, but Link did not jump straight to the basket, but made a spin in the air.

"Do you want to back dunk!?" Hubby Brown clenched his fists, and after holding back for so long, he really needed a beautiful dunk to vent.

But after Link turned his back to the basket in the air, he still had some distance from the basket and couldn't dunk at all. Could it be a mistake? Impossible, Link has never missed a dunk.

Finally, Hubie Brown saw that Link's body was still spinning, and he seemed to have escaped the gravity and "floated" recklessly in the air.

This is not a back dunk, but a 360° turnaround dunk in the air!

"Boom!" Link made a circle in the air and slammed the ball in with both hands!

With the loud noise of the basket, the crowd in the stands jumped wildly.

"A 360° turn and dunk in actual combat, my God, Link's performance is really wonderful! I believe that this counterattack will definitely boost the Grizzlies' morale! The 360° turn and dunk in actual combat, Replay, I need replay!"

Rudy Gay, who followed Link, was stunned. He clearly remembered that when Link first arrived at the Grizzlies, he basically had nothing to do with the word "athletic". But now... just like Link's dunk, Gay felt that even with his best physical fitness, he might not be able to complete it.

360 ° dunk is not easy, not to mention it is still in actual combat!

Link didn't celebrate wildly after landing, but just pointed to Conley to express his gratitude.

After running back to his own half, Link patted Miller's butt, which was a unified gesture of goodwill among men all over the world.

"Thank you for your great defense, Mike."

"What nonsense are you talking about, keep rushing, Link!"

In just two possessions, the Grizzlies turned the eight-point deficit into three. The three Raptors brothers are all confused, what just happened? DeRozan was blocked by an old man, and then Link completed a 360° turn and dunks in actual combat?

Link's counterattack really hurt the Raptors.

Now, the momentum of the Grizzlies and just has become completely different. Just by looking at the eyes of the Grizzlies players, DeRozan knew that the Grizzlies' defense would be as ferocious as a meat grinder.

Indeed, this time, Gay put a screen on DeRozan in order to force the defense to switch positions.

Guy thought he could easily kill Miller, but unexpectedly Miller's tenacity was stronger than Guy expected.

In Miller's peak season, Gay just entered the league. At that time, Guy was Miller's backup, the younger brother behind him.

Although in the second year, Gay established a core position with an exaggerated score of 20.1 points per game. But today, Miller is undoubtedly letting Guy know what is called ginger or old spicy.

Your big brother will always be your big brother.

Guy couldn't get in, he wanted to do things in the middle distance like he used to.

But considering that it is extremely inefficient, and the Raptors are very hopeful to win the game today, Gay dismissed the idea. Turned the pitch into a pass and sent the ball to DeRozan.

DeRozan's heart skipped a beat after receiving the ball.

Doesn't this bother me... After changing positions, let me single against Link? Leave the hardest person to beat for me?

Where is there such a big brother!

"DeMar!" DeRozan yelled as soon as DeRozan caught the ball, Link, who was standing in front of him.

DeRozan's Adam's apple slid up and down, swallowing.

"Let me see how far you have grown now. Come on, do your best!"

Link wanted to talk trash to DeRozan, but considering DeRozan's mental state, he couldn't speak. So in the end, shouted out a very second line.

There's nothing DeRozan can do, and now it's up to him. So he directly accelerated after dribbling his left and right hands alternately!

However, Link was stunned that DeRozan didn't even take a step forward. DeRozan has indeed made great progress, but now he is still too immature for Link!

In the last game, George and Link exploded each other and scored more than 40 points on Link's head. However, not everyone can do anything wrong on Link's head.

DeRozan saw that the breakthrough would not work, so he switched to a step-back jumper. As long as it's in the mid-range, DeRozan feels he's pretty sure.

However, DeRozan was just about to take off when Link waved his long arms to block it. DeRozan's body leaned back slightly, but he found that the angle of leaning back was not enough to avoid the block.

"It's over."

DeRozan only felt a gust of cool wind blowing, and the basketball was vigorously fanned by Link. Blocked for the second time in a row, DeRozan barely shed a tear.

Link's blocks can be different from Miller's. His blocks are more violent, more striking, and more entertaining.

After the basketball was fanned, Link immediately accelerated to chase the ball. In order to prevent the basketball from going out of bounds, Link jumped to the ground and pressed the basketball under him.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies immediately threw themselves into the counterattack. Miller also had a basketball shoe stepped on during his entanglement with Guy.

Old Miller immediately bent over to pick up the shoes, just about to put them on, but found that there was a gap in the front court. To wear shoes or to take a chance? For Miller, it's not a multiple-choice question.

Miller simply threw his shoe out of bounds and ran to the front court with one bare foot.

On the Grizzlies bench, Nick Young looked at his teammates with a bewildered expression. Because the shoe thrown by Mike Miller happened to fall into Nick Young's hands...

Sitting on the bench and suddenly getting hit by a shoe, this is the first time Nick Young has encountered such a thing in his career.

Miller ran barefoot to the right three-point line. Just now, Link was lying on the ground and passed the basketball to Conley. Conley accelerated the breakthrough and attracted the Raptors' defense to shrink.

So, Miller was let out again.

Conley pinpointed Miller, who was wearing only one shoe, and DeRozan, who was originally in front of Link, immediately turned his target and pounced on Miller.

Miller, however, remained calm. Even one missing shoe can't interrupt his shooting rhythm.

Before DeRozan's fingers were sealed, Miller took it easy!

Miller knew that if the last three points were filled, the Raptors' confidence would collapse completely. Most importantly, the Raptors will no longer dare to double-team Link so recklessly.

Then, it's Link's performance time! Without the double team, no one can stop the monster who scored 50 points and triple-doubles!

To escort the star, isn't that what Miller has to do?

Miller raised his knife and fell, and in DeRozan's desperate eyes, he hit a three-pointer!

After three rounds, all the efforts of the Raptors in the first quarter of the game were all in vain!

"With 2 three-pointers in a row, Mike Miller completely revitalized the Grizzlies' offense, and he was still barefoot! Next, the Raptors will definitely not dare to double-team Link at will! Mike .Miller helped Link a lot, he's probably the best superstar guard in the league!"

Along with Hubie Brown's shouting, Raptors coach Dwayne Casey had to call a timeout. As soon as the second quarter came up, he was beaten 8-0. Who could stand it?

Mike Miller excitedly rushed off the bench and took his basketball shoes from Nick Young.

He is happy that he can still create value for a championship-level team.

After Link walked off the court, Miller patted the back of perhaps the greatest star in the history of the Grizzlies, "The road has been paved, is there any problem?"

"Hey, wait and celebrate the victory."

Link smiled and moved his muscles, and he should take over the next thing.

And, he can definitely handle it!
