Turner completely messed up when he tried to attack for the first time. Seeing Link easily defending Turner, the fans of the 76ers must be heartbroken.

The player they played badly for a year before finally getting was defeated by the Grizzlies' casually signed undrafts. It was as if something you regarded as a treasure was worthless to others, and this sense of gap must be very uncomfortable.

Turner himself was also uncomfortable. He knew that Link was one of the best rookies in this class. But he did not expect that the gap between the two sides was already so huge.

Link seemed to have easily defeated himself, which made Turner, who was originally motivated, feel a little frustrated. What's even more frustrated is that no one has passed the ball to him at the beginning of the second round.

This is what a rookie is. No matter how big a brand you were in college, you will be your younger brother after you arrived at the NBA. The big brothers will give you the ball. If you can't seize the opportunity, don't blame your teammates for not passing the ball.

Of course, not all rookies are like this. For example, LeBron James, the "Pride in Heaven" who almost got the treatment of a star as soon as he entered the Cavaliers. At that time, Cavaliers star Ricky Davis thought James was a younger brother like other rookies.

So, when Ricky Davis, who was not sure about the situation, was traded, he even said the classic saying: "I thought they chose LeBron to assist me."

However, compared with James' talent, it is simply in the sky and in the middle. This time, the 76ers' offense was handled by Elton Brand himself.

Although Brand, the No. 1 pick in 1999, has passed his peak, he is still a major pillar of the 76ers on the offensive end. Brand, whose physical fitness has declined sharply, has become more and more efficient in his superb low-post skills and accurate mid-range jump shots.

Randolph tried his best to defend, but still failed to stop Brand from turning back and layup. Brand is definitely one of the objects of many traditional power forwards to follow suit. Randolph also studied many Brand's game videos back then.

Although the 1999 No. 1 pick has a low presence in NBA history, its strength is still very good. The 76ers scored a goal and finally stabilized the situation. Unfortunately, the goalkeeper was not Evan Turner.

"Turner almost disappeared from the offense just now, and he didn't even touch the ball. A decent child, I hope he can perform well on the defensive end."

This is the first time Turner faces Link on the defensive end. Although the Grizzlies have scored a goal just now, they scored by converting offense. Turner didn't have time to participate in the defense at all.

This time, when the Grizzlies slowly fell into the position, Turner finally had the opportunity to compete with Link on the defensive end. Evan Turner's defense is completely different from Anthony and others. As a star player in college, he has been diligent on the defensive end.

But after reaching the NBA, due to his physical talent and level, his defense can only be said to have just reached the average level.

Link is not in a hurry to fight with Turner, and everything has to be the overall situation first.

This time, the Grizzlies' tactics are to create a mid-range shot for Conley. So, Link was just helping Conley open up space, and the rest was left to others.

But after taking advantage of several screens, Conley still couldn't get rid of Zhu Holiday. Holiday's defense was indeed very good. He was one of the few young point guards in this era who were willing to defend.

In desperation, Conley hung the ball to Randolph. As soon as he saw this pass, Link, who was originally at ease to stand at the bottom corner, suddenly cut in! He knew that the tactics had changed!

Turner's reaction was half a beat slow because he thought Randolph was going to play singles at a low post, so he was not so alert to Link.

When he realized that he was about to chase him, Link had already left half of his body.

Link, who had originally cut along the bottom line, suddenly turned 90° and ran out of the three-point line. Turner couldn't react again, and this time, he was blocked by Gasol, who came to cover him.

In the end, Turner could only watch Link reach the top of the three-point line, receive a inside pass from Randolph, and then start a shot.

"Don't go in, don't go in!" Turner knew that he had completely lost his position. If Link made this goal, he would be mainly responsible. He would definitely be very dissatisfied with being opposed to such a large open position on the defensive end.

However, not everyone's long shot level is as anxious as Turner. Faced with such a large open space, Link's shot is no different from training. He took action calmly and tried to maintain the integrity of his movements. Then, Turner could only watch the basketball fly over his head and eventually fall into the net!

"Three-pointer hit! This is the first three-pointer that Link scored today! His escape was very beautiful, and the Grizzlies' tactics were executed very perfectly. Of course, Link's last blow was the most outstanding. This kid is as stable as ever!"

"Damn it!" Turner dared to clench his fists. He originally thought Link would play singles with the ball, but he didn't expect that he would use the method of running without the ball to completely revitalize the Grizzlies' originally failed offense.

Speaking of which, Turner thinks Link is more like a versatile player. He can defend, play singles with the ball, and be a shooting player without the ball. At first glance, why is he so much like himself after a full upgrade?

The score difference has reached 8 points, and the scoring ratios of Link and Turner have also become 5-0.

The gap in strength between the two sides is actually very obvious, but there is still a trace of fantasy in Turner's mind.

Today, Link has performed defense, passes and off-ball attacks in front of Turner. But that's not over yet, Link's performance is not over yet.

In the next two minutes, Turner and Link didn't score. This was not because they successfully defended each other, but because neither of them made any moves at all.

Turner wanted to do something but didn't know how to do it, but Link didn't deliberately take action. He followed the team's tactics and did his own job of supporting and transferring the ball.

Two minutes later, both sides sent a second team. Turner knew that his chance had come!

On the other hand, Link's role has also changed from a tandemist to a scorer. The Grizzlies' second team needs a scorer, and this person is definitely not Mayo. Therefore, Link naturally got on the position.

Now, Turner really started to be in trouble.

"Louis, give Turner a few attacks. He is holding his breath today. We should give him a few more chances." During the timeout, the 76ers coach Collins muttered a few words in the team's sixth man Louis Williams' ear.

Although Louis Williams, who is 1.88 meters tall, plays point guard, his interest in scoring is far higher than passing. This guy's role in the 76ers is similar to Smith, both of whom are scoring points in the second team.

If the game really starts, the scoring points of the 76ers' second team will be Louis Williams and Thidis Young, and there is still nothing to Turner. However, in order to let Turner show his talent, Collins specifically told Lou Wei to avoid Turner from receiving the ball.

Although Louis Williams likes to score, he is not a disunity player. After hearing Collins' arrangement, he nodded slightly to express his understanding.

Therefore, after returning from the timeout, Turner finally got his second mobile phone call today. This time, he did not choose to play singles with the ball and Link, but hoped to find gaps by running without the ball.

Look, even Turner doesn’t know what method he can use to deal with Link, so he can only try one by one. Can such an "all-round player" not be embarrassed in the NBA?

Turner didn't get a chance to run several times. After all, he was really not fast, and Linknu could keep up with it even harder. But Link was Hill's speed in his late years, while Turner was a serious rookie.

Louis Williams was itchy when he was waiting outside the three-point line. The rookie was not good enough and he couldn't even run out if he gave him a chance.

In the end, Turner finally got a chance on the right side, and Louis Williams also quickly passed the ball. Turner received the ball from the middle distance on the right and shot. This time he was full of confidence!

However, as soon as he took action, Turner's eyes went dark. It was Link, and he rushed up almost without any slowness and directly sealed it on Turner's face!

"Damn it!" Turner yelled in his heart. The next second, his proud mid-range shot ended with a blacksmith. He couldn't attack with the ball, and he couldn't do it this time when he switched to the off-ball attack.

"Oh." Doug Collins lowered his head and sighed. He couldn't take the chance of this kid!

Turner's confidence has begun to collapse quickly. He tried both the ball-holding and the offense without the ball, but neither could beat Link's defense.

Turner was already sweating, but Link still looked relaxed. It seemed that he had not felt the pressure so far.

The Grizzlies will be replaced with the offense. If this attack is done, the 76ers will be widened from the double-digit gap. That's right, it was widened from the double-digit number before the first quarter.

Turner is on the verge of the team. He believes that Link will definitely take the ball to attack the Grizzlies in this lineup!

However, this time Link passed the ball to Mayo. Mayo was very active and started asking for the ball just after halftime.

After Louis Williams came on the court, Holiday was pushed to the second position. Mayo played Holiday, which was not easy.

He tried several breakthroughs, but Holiday wanted to stick to the former "Jordan successor" like a dog-skin plaster.

In desperation, Mayo directly pulled out of the three-point line and shot! I have to say that this kind of shooting choice is really eye-catching.

Turner was secretly happy, now he was defending the Grizzlies. However, when he was about to go to the frontcourt, he found Link going into the basket.

"What is this guy going to do!"

Turner had just had doubts when Mayo's basketball hit the box. But at the same time, Link jumped up immediately, grabbed the pop-up basketball, and pressed it into the basket!

A wonderful patch! Link was simply performing in a different way!

"Haha, Link's rebounding sense is really keen. This is not the first time he has staged a good show of making up the dunk. He almost calculated the possible landing point of the rebound when Mayo made a shot. This patch made Link have scored 7 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Before the 12-minute game was finished, this data list can be said to be quite versatile!"

Looking at Link hanging on the basket, Turnerton felt extremely desperate.

Ball-holding, off-ball attack, defense, pass, rebound
Chapter completed!
