Nine Hundred: Go Crazy and Even Lie to Your Teammates

This is not the first time that Stephen A. Smith has expressed his love for Link.

This guy and Bill Simmons seem to be two opposites. One loves Link to death, while the other hates him with gnashing teeth.

However, Stephen A. Smith's remarks were still questioned by many fans and media, because he did not clearly point out how the Grizzlies can beat the Hawks without Gasol.

Just saying, "Their only problem is meeting Link at his peak" is not very convincing, but more like simply kneeling and licking an idol.

The Eagles are naturally very unhappy. As one of the teams with the best record in the league, they do not get the respect they deserve even though they are not suffering from injuries.

This made the Eagles players very angry.

"Stephen A. Smith is a clown, don't pay attention to him." In the visiting team's locker room at FedEx Arena, Mike Budenholzer was doing pre-game mobilization.

He knows that the players are very angry now, and appropriate anger can sometimes have a positive effect.

"This is not the first time we have faced a team with superstars. We were not favored from the beginning. Maybe in the eyes of the outside world, our lineup is too civilian. But in my heart, every one of you is a superstar. Superstar! Go out there and fight, and continue our game ideas! Let the No. 1 player in the Western Conference see how we dominate the Eastern Conference!"

As soon as Budenholzer finished speaking, the Hawks players became visibly angry.

No one wants to be looked down upon, especially if they have already achieved great results.

Budenholzer smiled slightly, waved his hand, and sent the players on to warm up.

The problem for Eagle is to meet Peak Link?

Do not make jokes.

It should be said that Link may have no rival in this league. Because his only opponent is not a certain player, but the entire Eagles!

Seeing the Eagles players starting to warm up, Hubie Brown immediately introduced the situation of the Eagles.

"There is no doubt that the Atlanta Hawks are the biggest star killer this season. In the last game, they took down the Clippers with Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. In the next game, Lillard and Aldridge Not an opponent either. Of course, how can we forget the showdown on the last day of 2014? That game,

The Cavaliers' Big Three were also defeated by the Hawks. It can be said that many stars have been defeated by the Hawks this season. "

Hubie Brown has been paying attention to the Hawks for a long time. If this team can finally achieve the same good results in the playoffs, then the method of accumulating stars to win the championship may be completely eliminated.

"The Eagles are playing really well this season. To be honest, this game is quite difficult for the Grizzlies. Both the black and white bears are unable to play, which is very bad news for the Grizzlies." Hubie Brown Mike Brin next to him finally spoke up.

Along with the two people's commentary, the live camera gave a close-up of Randolph and Gasol on the bench.

Both the black and white bears were seen sitting on the bench in suits and did not even participate in the warm-up. The two Grizzlies' interior pillars almost never fall at the same time. This season is indeed very difficult for the Grizzlies.

"In the last game, during the rotation, the Grizzlies had to use Tobias Harris to stand at the fifth position. But the effect was not good, and Quincy Ashe also scored a double-double. If the Grizzlies can't solve this problem today, they're going to be in big trouble."

"That's true, but the Grizzlies don't have time to sign another G-League player and their roster is the same as the last game. With no one available, I don't know what coach Dave Joerger wants to do. How to adjust."

Hubie Brown and Mike Breen grasped the key points of both sides' victory and highlighted the highlights at once.

Fans are increasingly looking forward to it: Will Link, the invincible at the top, continue his winning streak, or will the team-oriented Eagle and others make mistakes?

At eight o'clock in the evening, during prime time, the game, which was temporarily changed to a national live broadcast, officially started.

Before the game started, Link and Whiteside whispered again.

Horford curled his lips. He had seen the news a long time ago, saying that every time Link whispers to his teammates, that teammate will definitely perform like a superstar.

Horford has never believed this evil news. Today, he finally has the opportunity to experience it for himself.

Both sides started at designated positions. The Grizzlies' starting lineup remained unchanged except for replacing Gasol with Whiteside.

The Hawks still have the golden combination of Teague, Korver, Carroll, Millsap and Horford.

Link could clearly see the anger in the eyes of the Eagles players. They seemed eager to defeat the league's No. 1 team to prove themselves.

This momentum... is really like the Grizzlies before they won the championship.

The Grizzlies also fought back all the way without a superstar. However, Link believes that the Grizzlies' miracle cannot be replicated by all teams.

At the beginning of the game, Whiteside easily won the first offensive ball.

Horford cannot compete with Whiteside in terms of height, wingspan, and athletic ability. In an event like this, which is higher than the high jump, Horford is naturally at a disadvantage.

Conley advances with the ball. The Eagles' defense, like their offense, relies on teamwork.

Teague is 1.88 meters tall and can defend and steal. He won't suffer much if he switches to the second position.

Although Korver looks ugly, he is not as bad at defense as most white defenders.

In the eyes of some people, good defense means blocking one-on-one shots and intercepting the ball directly from the opponent's dribble.

But in fact, these are not all of defense. Blocking shots and underhand steals are more likely to cause you to foul, and it is easier to lose your position due to these actions.

A truly outstanding defensive player may not block shots or steal, but he will always appear between the opponent and the basket, with his hands stretched high.

Obviously, Korver belongs to the latter.

The remaining Carroll, Millsap and Horford also fall into this category. None of them have earth-shattering blocks or quick steals. But they never seem to be out of place and always appear in the most correct position.

Horford has been firmly in the top five in the predicted best defensive player rankings this year. His top-notch assist defense ability cannot be reflected in the data.

The Grizzlies played several tactics and pick-and-rolls, but the Hawks were always able to seal the gap immediately.

"They are really like the Spurs, like a machine that never makes mistakes." Off the court, Grizzlies chief assistant Quin Snyder said with emotion after seeing the Hawks' defense.

"No, even machines are not omnipotent, Quinn." Qiaogel was very confident. As soon as he said this, Link made a breakthrough!

Link used Whiteside's cover to break through the penalty area. Although Horford switched defenses immediately, Link's rapid acceleration allowed him to get rid of the No. 15 center in just one step.

Horford's footsteps are definitely fast for the fifth position. He claims to be able to defend from the first position to the fifth position.

But Link broke this beautiful myth. Horford may indeed be able to defend ordinary perimeter players.

Can you stop the superstar? There is no way!

Link broke through halfway, suddenly stopped suddenly and raised the ball above his head with one hand.

It seemed that Link wanted to pass an alley-oop to Whiteside.

Carroll immediately got stuck in position. He knew he couldn't jump Whiteside. The only remedy was to take off in the right position without being "big white side" comfortably.

Sure enough, Whiteside jumped up, and Horford also looked back inside.

At this time, Horford's mind was filled with images of Link and Whiteside whispering quietly before the game. He believed that this alley-oop must have been premeditated.

It's a pity that he and his teammates expected it!

But what was unexpected was that Whiteside jumped up and missed, and Horford did not see the basketball fly to the basket.

Link, that was just a fake pass!

But this simple false rumor deceived everyone, including Whiteside!

"It was a fake pass. Link didn't pass the ball, but he relied on this action to make Horford lose his defensive position. Link easily made a mid-range shot and hit it! Beautiful, Link fooled everyone, this guy went crazy He even lied to his own teammates! But facts have proven that in the face of strong personal abilities, the Eagles’ defense is indeed not indestructible!”

Hubie Brown kept applauding. Is there any loophole in the Eagles' defense? Really not, every step was done well.

Made a mistake? Not to mention, everyone is executing instructions like a machine.

However, Link was able to score goals in an incredible way under such circumstances.

Superstars are those who break the rules. Just making no mistakes alone can't contain a superstar.

Link took the lead for the Grizzlies, while Whiteside scratched his head and looked confused.

"Didn't you agree to give me an alley-oop for the first ball?" He ran to Link. Link said this in his ear before the game!

"Hey, this is a move to confuse your opponent! However, the second half of what I told you is true, remember to execute it well."

Link blinked at Whiteside, the fun had just begun.
