1221: A chance to test real strength (3/5)

Dillon Brooks walked to the free throw line amid the cheers of Grizzlies fans.

Even some Grizzlies fans are a little unfamiliar with Dillon Brooks.

After all, he didn't play much in the rookie year and only played 18 games last season due to injury.

In the past two years, he was definitely an absolute marginal figure.

But at this time, all of Memphis must have remembered this name.

Link looked at Dillon Brooks walking onto the free throw line and showed a gratified smile.

With Jokic and Dillon, two young men, Link can retire with confidence.

The Grizzlies will take them as the cornerstone in the future and will still remain among the strong teams in the West.

Speaking of which, the Grizzlies are really a team with extraordinary temperament.

Link, the greatest player in the team history, was a undrafted draft.

The cornerstones of the future Jokic and Brooks are both second round picks...

However, this is the Memphis Grizzlies, they have no gorgeous appearance and no overwhelming talent.

But I just know how to win.

Dillon Brooks made a free throw and quickly equalized the score as soon as the second quarter was in full swing.

Kenning Atkinson, who was just proud, stood up nervously again, and Dillon Brooks and Jamie Cheung were not expected.

Those two "wastes" will actually become the key to the Grizzlies' equalization score. Who can believe it if you say it?

Brooks scored 6 points in a row, which made Leville very unwilling to accept it.

He could not stand being so humiliated by an unknown passerby.

So in the aftermath, Leville raised his hand early to ask for the ball for Irving, and he wanted to return Brooks.

Brooks does look like a bully player, with insufficient wingspan and not fierce enough, which is completely different from a guy like Tony Allen who can't mess with at first glance.

Leville and Brooks are the opposite. He has always been a highly anticipated high-potential defender, and he also wants to realize his talents as soon as possible.

"You'd better ask that kid to hand the ball to you."

Just as Leville was about to play singles with the ball, Link, who was standing next to Durant, suddenly spoke.

Durant glanced at Link in confusion, but did not respond.

Link also looked at Durant and chuckled: "There is no other meaning. I say that because he can't score at all. It's better to give the ball to you."

After Link said that, Leville held the ball and prepared to break through!

Brooks has a wingspan of less than two meters, which means he does not have a wide defense range.

However, just as Leville took a step, Brooks moved over and blocked his way very quickly.

Then at the moment when the two sides collided, Levier felt that his ribs were almost broken!

What's the intensity of the confrontation?

Brooks is indeed a dull guy, but if you think he is a docile sheep, then wait to lose his temper.

Leville didn't expect Brooks' defense to be so tough. Brooks wrapped around Leville like a bulldog and kept biting it.

Leville couldn't make it in and finally had to choose to shoot at mid-range defense.

A bad choice.

"Bang!"

Leville angrily hit Brooks' defense, and this is very likely the last time he took such a willful move in this game.

Beside Irving and Durant, the chance of willfulness is often one time.

If I got in, Irving and Durant might also give you a few more shots.

If you don't make it, you can only stay there in this game and occasionally throw open spaces.

"Damn!" Durant cursed, but it was not because Leville failed to score, but because he was sighing that Link was so confident in his teammates.

Dillon Brooks' performance was delightful, but that wasn't all the surprises.

This time, the Grizzlies' offense was very fast.

Although Jokic is fat and big, he can run and play with the team.

This time, Link played a pick-and-roll cooperation with Jokic. At the moment when the pick-and-roll was formed, Link passed the ball to find Jokic who cut in, helping him easily walk to the basket.

But Jordan is not a vegetarian. Although his defensive effect is not as good as before, he is still one of the best rim guards in the league.

He was close to Jokic, ready to cover the fat boy's layup at any time.

But Jokic was not in a hurry. He walked to the basket with his "Drunk Eight Immortals" and then threw the ball behind him very lazy.

Those who don't know may think that Jokic made a mistake because his actions just now were too careless.

But those who know Jokic's style know that this is a wonderful legend.

Jokic is the kind of person who seems lazy but looks like he is lazy and has scored a triple-double after looking at the data after the game.

The basketball accurately penetrated into Jamie Green's hand, and the latter shot as soon as he received the ball!

Although Jay Michael Green is not a pure shooter, he made very gratifying shooting percentages in every position outside the three-point line last season.

In other words, the entire three-point line is Jermichael Green's hot zone!

Joe Harris' defense is not bad, but he really can't interfere with his tall and long arms like Jay Michael Green.

Harris stretched out his hand, but almost did not block Green's view.

In this way, Jokic assisted Green to hit a three-pointer, and the Grizzlies once again successfully scored points with the role players whom most people think are useless!

Moreover, this is the ninth consecutive point the Grizzlies have scored since the second quarter!

The Grizzlies' performance is shocking, and their attack power does not seem to be weak last season.

Even if Link doesn't take action, the Grizzlies can score steadily.

As it turns out, this is not a team that only knows how to rely on Link. The overall strength of this team is indeed still strong.

Brooks and Green's performance is equivalent to giving others a good example.

In the subsequent games, all the Grizzlies players gradually found their form.

After the rotation time came, the Grizzlies did not repeat the old path of the first quarter.

Ross made accurate shots at mid-range several times, causing Temple, who was making the shots without breaking out, to pay the price.

Carter even made a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the second quarter, completely shattering the Nets' plan to enter the second half with the lead.

In the end, the Grizzlies ended the first half with a two-point lead.

After just one quarter of the game, the remarks such as "the strength of the Grizzlies' lineup has declined greatly" can no longer gain a foothold.

Of course, the Nets will not sit still and wait for death. After the Grizzlies are fully fired, they have also performed better.

Dinwiddie is still an invincible existence during the rotation time, and he is crazy about scoring points.

Durant's score was somewhat limited by Link, but it was still one of the most trusted attack points for the Nets.

The craziest one is undoubtedly Irving. Conley was completely helpless in the defensive end today.

Irving made a breakthrough with a series of fake moves several times, which scared Conley so much that he suddenly pulled three points after shrinking backwards.

After being scored a few three-pointers, Conley did not dare to let Irving make a shot. So Irving began to break through Conley again.

Conley tried hard not to let Irving score directly, but he lost many fouls.

Both sides performed wonderful performances, and the scores were anxious until the last moment.

This opening game did not disappoint the long-awaited fans.

The first game was at a critical moment, which also allowed both sides to test their true strength.

Four minutes before the end of the game, Leville made a three-pointer. Howard immediately fought with Jarrett Allen, and finally got stuck in the position.

But even so, Howard still did not successfully capture the offensive rebound. His current bounce and bounce speed have really retreated too much. Jarret Allen hit the rebound at the same time as Howard in the air, allowing the basketball to fly out of bounds.

Such a situation can basically be considered as a failure to protect the rebound.

However, at this moment, Howard rushed to the audience without hesitation and caught the basketball back.

In the end, Howard fell into the crowd. Hubby Brown and Kevin Harlan were both shocked. They had never seen Howard fight so hard.

In the end, with Howard's hard fight, the Grizzlies reached a counterattack and overtook two points.

Two minutes before the game, Ross snatched the basketball from Irving, and then made a precise long pass to assist Brooks in a dunk.

Brooks also scored his 21st point in the game!

In the first game of the new season, he scored a new career high. Now, no one will regard him as a passerby anymore.

One minute before the game, Gasol Jr. hit a three-pointer in the right corner, helping the Grizzlies take another key lead!

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies were not ruthless. Everyone in the team played their best for victory, and everyone played a key role!

It's hard not to like this Memphis grizzly bear.

But in the last moment, Kelly Irving almost killed the game.

Facing Rose, who performed well today, Irving made a jump shot from outside the three-point line and scored his 37th point in this game!

Although Ross's defense against Irving is better than Conley, he cannot completely limit his performance.

After Irving made this three-pointer, the game ended with only 5 seconds left, and the Nets led by two points.

At this time, the live footage was given to Link.

Everyone on the Grizzlies have done their best and everyone has performed very well.
