Six Hundred and Fifty: Unless You Send 3 People to Guard Him

Rudy Guy tried his best to give Link a confrontation, but now Link is much more difficult than when the game started.

His breakthroughs are decisive and efficient. Guy, who originally took the initiative, is now out of breath. Link has the initiative on the offensive end, and Guy has become the passive side.

When did all this start? The Raptors are clearly in good shape, leading the Grizzlies by 8 points in a single quarter.

Well, everything has changed since Mike Miller hit the 3-point line.

In order to prevent Miller from making a three-pointer, DeRozan did not dare to double-team again. And once there is no double team, Link can do whatever he wants. In one-on-ones, Guy doesn't get any advantage.

Like now!

After Link broke through, he made a sudden stop just before stepping into the penalty area. Immediately afterwards, he made a very smooth back turn.

Guy was thrown a few steps away by Link's sudden emergency stop, but don't underestimate this seemingly simple emergency stop. Just so powerful.

After Link's smooth emergency stop, he turned to shoot, and Gay, who was thrown away, couldn't do anything.

He used to be the team's No. 1 scoring point, and Link used to be just his backup. But now, Guy must admit, the gap between him and Link has grown wider.

If the ball happened in the first quarter, DeRozan could help Gay interfere. But now, with Gay being shaken off, the Raptors have no remedy at all.

The basketball went through the net, and there was nothing Guy could do about it.

After the ball was scored, Guy could only put his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.

28 points, which is already Link's 28th in this game. Since Mike Miller solved the Grizzlies' long-range shooting problem from beyond the arc, and since the Raptors' "dumpling" defense can no longer be used, Link has been out of control.

He tortured Rudy Gay with his comprehensive offensive skills. In 1996, the Raptors miraculously knocked down the league's hegemony and the drama was not repeated at the FedEx Arena. The Raptors were already 22 points behind, and there were only 3 minutes left until the end of the game.

Guy knew very well that their plan to win at FedEx Arena was on hold!

"Link's shot widened the gap by another 2 points.

So the result of this game is basically a conclusion. The Raptors played great today, they played better than usual. Link... Since the second quarter, Link has become completely uncontrollable, and the Raptors can't do anything about him. "

Hubby Brown finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. I thought that the Grizzlies' undefeated golden body would be in the hands of the Raptors. Fortunately, Link turned the tide, and today the Grizzlies are still in danger.

After the ball, Dwayne Casey suspended the game. Today, every time the Raptors pause, it means the game has entered a new stage.

This time, it basically means that the game has entered the stage of garbage time.

Link, who scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, walked off the court. Except for a little struggle in the first quarter, his performance today is still impeccable. Rudy Gay is not Link at all in one-on-one. opponent.

The spotlight was on Link, who once again heroically saved the day.

However, Link knows better than anyone that the biggest credit for today's game is not actually himself.

After walking off the court, Link gave Mike Miller a hug. People were right, he was a near-perfect teammate indeed.

"What did I say? Get ready to celebrate, Mike."

"Haha, you sure got them. Well done Link, it's another good fight."

Mike. Miller scored 14 points today, 12 of which came from three-pointers.

He repeatedly hit three-pointers from beyond the arc, leading the Grizzlies out of the cycle of three-point strikes.

As always, Mike Miller is not the main character. His stats are mediocre compared to Link's, and the picture of him shooting three-pointers with his bare feet is naturally not as good as Link's 360° turnaround and dunk.

But Link would not ignore the power he contributed to victory.

After the suspension came back, sure enough, the Raptors also replaced the full bench lineup, and the game officially entered garbage time.

Rudy Gay said he wanted to take DeRozan and Lowry to experience the playoffs, but before that, he at least took his two little brothers to experience what it was like to play against a team in the finals The taste, let them see the horror of the championship team in advance.

In the end, the score was fixed at 118 to 102, and the Toronto Raptors suffered a fiasco at the Federal Express Arena.

Except for the first quarter, the Raptors were pinned for almost the entire game.

Gay scored 23 points on 44.4 percent shooting and Lowry scored 21 on 60 percent shooting. Not to be outdone, DeRozan scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 53%.

The three stars of the Raptors are in good shape today. If it is replaced by other opponents, the Raptors can definitely get a big victory.

It's a pity that they met the Grizzlies who are now armed to the end of the bench.

Now the whole world knows that at the end of the Grizzlies' bench, the veteran who has been ignored by people also kills the game.

After the game, Rudy Gay left the field without looking back. As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. By the end of the first quarter, Gay really thought the Raptors would win. But in the end, Guy could only sigh again and again.

DeRozan is still shy, but he can see that his expression is much gloomier than before the game.

After hugging Link, DeRozan walked down the tunnel in disappointment. The huge gap in strength between the two sides made DeRozan hit hard.

Before walking into the tunnel, an ESPN reporter approached DeRozan and asked him about Link.

"Link struggled quite a bit in the first quarter of the game today, but dominated the court in the last three quarters. Can you tell me what happened?"

DeRozan bit his lip, as if just remembering what had just happened was a torment for him.

"At first we were able to contain Link with three teams, but then when we only had two teams, Link was out of control. What can I say? If you want to defend Link, send three Go watch him alone."

"Send three people to guard him?" The reporter patted his forehead, yes, there is a new meme.

After this game, the Grizzlies have won the second-longest 8-game winning streak in team history since the start of the new season, and they still remain unbeaten.

Previously, the Grizzlies had the best start in franchise history with a 9-game winning streak. This was created last season, led by Link.

In the next two games, the Grizzlies' two opponents are the Lakers without Kobe and the Sacramento Kings, who are still unavoidable. If nothing else, the Grizzlies will win two more games, no problem at all!

The 10-game winning streak, a new record in team history, seems to have been done!

But on the second day after the game, what the media and fans discussed the most was not the Grizzlies about to set a team record, but the 360° turnaround dunk that Link presented in the second quarter.

This ball was selected by the league as the top five balls of the day. On the Internet, the number of views of this video is also frighteningly high. After all, 360° turns and dunks in actual combat are still very rare.

I don't know since when, Link gradually became associated with the title of "Double General".

His performance of bombing the basket again and again impressed the fans. Although Link is not the type of player to win by physicality, his explosive athleticism has attracted widespread attention.

Fans joked, "During his rookie season, Link might just be playing dead."

In the context of Link's dunks that are popular across the league, a voice has recently risen.

"If Link can participate in the dunk contest, the scene will be very exciting."

However, a question will follow. Is there a precedent for the three-point contest champion to participate in the slam dunk contest in NBA history?

If Link does participate in the slam dunk contest, there is no doubt that another series of history will be made.
