135: Reasonable People (Seven Supports)

Anthony received a pass from the team's point guard Tony Douglas from outside the right three-point line, and Link stood firmly in front of him, but Anthony did not slow down.

He took the ball and took two steps to the middle distance, and then took the initiative to give Link a fight. Link was pushed back by Anthony. Anthony seized this opportunity and stopped in the middle distance, and then jumped very smoothly!

"Damn it!" Link immediately raised his long arms and disturbed it, but it seemed to be half a step slower. Faced with Link's slight interference, Anthony didn't even blink his eyes, and he was extremely calm.

Link looked back and saw that the basketball was indeed hollow. The whole game sighed. This was already the 27th point Anthony scored in this game! And Link's score at this time was only 12 points.

"I'm in again, Cameron Anthony is in a very hot state today. He perfectly continued the hot feel of the first four games. Link's defense today seems to have little impact on Cameron, and the opponent is always a super scorer!"

"I think Link's defense is actually not a problem today, but Cameron Anthony's goal is really unreasonable. He has a lot of goals against defense, which makes Link very frustrated on the defensive end." Hubby Brown shook his head, hoping that the child's confidence would not be hit.

After Anthony scored, Hollins immediately called a timeout. Because the Grizzlies are now 7 points behind when they play only 8 minutes away.

After hearing the pause whistle, Link waved his arm very unwillingly. Today he had tried his best to defend Anthony, but that guy could score a goal. Although when he was training with Kobe half a month ago, Link experienced what it means to "can't defend it no matter how hard he is."

But that was training after all, and it was different from the official competition. Today, Link was beaten by Anthony in the official competition, and this sense of frustration made Link feel very uncomfortable.

"The decent Link, the last time the Grizzlies and Nuggets played against him, he shouldn't have annoyed Cameron Anthony. Once he annoyed a super scorer, he would have to end up with nothing to take it."

"Don't draw conclusions so quickly. The game is not over yet, and the Knicks are only 7 points ahead. This is not an irreversible gap. The Grizzlies still have a chance." Hubby Brown was still defending his favorite team. He hurriedly looked at the Grizzlies' bench, hoping that those guys could find a way to win.

"Mike, continue to strengthen your breakthrough and play aggressive! Only when you can score continuously will your teammates get a chance! Our offense is very unsmooth, very unsmooth, and most of our offenses are individual singles, which is not allowed! You must first have a scoring threat so that you can create space for your teammates! Aggression, give me aggressiveness!"

On the Grizzlies' bench, it was different from what most people imagined. Lionel Hollins did not criticize Link, but instead scolded Conley for being so bloody.

Today, the main reason for the Grizzlies to fall behind is not Link. Anthony's offense today is simply unsolvable, and no one can defend. But Conley didn't sort out the Grizzlies' offense, which made Hollins a little angry. When the point guard could not sort out the offense and the team could only fall into individual singles, it would be strange if he could be efficient. Anthony was very serious on the defensive end today, so Link's scoring was far less easy than last time. If Tony Allen was in singles, the scoring was basically based on the Mistresses. Only Randolph's singles can be seen. But how can he stop Anthony and Stodmeier from scoring?

At this time, the point guard needs to create opportunities for everyone. However, Conley has not done it for a long time.

Hollins knew that Knicks point guard Tony Douglas was a defensive gate and a strong heavy guard.

Douglas is 1.88 meters tall, only 3 cm taller than Conley. But his weight is more than ten kilograms taller than Conley! As a point guard who is only 1.88 meters tall, Douglas' weight reaches 92.5 kilograms! There is no doubt that this is his most important weapon on the defensive end.

However, even in the face of such a large weight gap, Hollins could not tolerate Conley's inaction. So, he eventually lost his temper. The NBA head coach is a group that is particularly emotionally excited. When they think that the team can do something but the result is not as expected, they usually explode on the spot.

Which NBA coach did you meet had never yelled on the sidelines?

It is a very risky thing for the head coach to yell at the player. Unless you are respected like Popovich, you may be disagreeing with the coach as you yell.

Especially the point guard, as the team's brain is questioned by the head coach, which is a very shameless thing.

Look at Deron and Sloan, Rondo and Rivers, and you will know what the head coach yells at point guard.

But Conley is different. After being yelled by Hollins, he was not angry or refuted. He just lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, without saying a word.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Link knew that it was not Conley's fault that the team was behind now. So when the timeout ended and everyone reappeared, Link went up and poked Conley with his elbow.

"Mike, don't care. Coach Hollins is definitely not meant. You know his character. This is not your fault alone. I have to take a lot of responsibility today. But don't be discouraged. The reason why he is so angry is because we need you."

After Link finished speaking, what he didn't expect was that Conley actually chuckled softly.

"Do you think I'm angry? I didn't say anything, just thinking about how to deal with Tony Douglas. Don't worry, Link, I'm not a woman, so I'm not so easy to get angry. Besides, being angry can't solve the problem. I'll run without the ball later, and I will pass the ball to you. But before that, I may have to get some points on Douglas' head first."

Conley patted Link on the shoulder and ran to the court. Link shook his head, yes, Conley might be a more mature person than himself.

Before coming through, Link read an article online, which recorded many strange NB alliance records.

One of them is still fresh in Link's memory of Mike Conley, who has never received a technical foul until now in his career.

Mike Conley had played in the league for many seasons at that time, and he basically served on the team, but he had never received technical fouls, malicious fouls or expulsions. Such records can even be traced back to his high school games and college games.

You rarely see Mike Conley complaining, and it is even harder to imagine Mike Conley yelling at the referee or opponent. For some controversial decisions, he usually just shakes his head, and then during the game, he will try to approach the referee and discuss.

In this league where smiling on the bench, I would be called a technical foul, Conley's record was deeply memorable.

Yes, that guy is an extremely rational and calm person who will handle everything well. Link always feels that people are underestimating this defender who has lived under the halo of others since childhood, but now he realizes that even he himself underestimates this teammate.

"The game started over and we don't know what adjustments the Grizzlies have made, but they hope it will work. Now they are 7 points behind. With Anthony's form so hot, the difference may reach double digits at any time!"

The pause ended, and Hubby Bryn's commentary rekindled the atmosphere on the scene.

Conley took the ball and pushed forward amid the cheers of Memphis fans, and Link ran to the right corner to open up the space. However, this was not easy, because while running, he had to endure Anthony's trash talk.

Anthony defeated Link in data today, and he was extremely arrogant. However, Link trusted Conley, and he would turn the situation around.

Conley passed the ball without crossing the half this time, and his eyes became murderous. The team's offense is now unable to open the situation, so he will make himself threatened first. Once he is threatened with scoring, it will not be difficult to create space for his teammates.

Conley called Randolph for cover, but in fact he was confused Doug Dallas. Before Randolph could mention it, Conley killed in with a cross step!

"Damn!" Although Douglas is strong, his athletic ability is average. Once he doesn't react in the first shot, it will be difficult for him to keep up with Conley.

Conley entered the inside, and no one from the Knicks helped him defend. After all, he had no outstanding performance today. The Knicks players were thinking, what can a small point guard do?

Conley didn't waste any chance and scored the ball with a solid throw.

He is very important to the team, and he will not disappoint his brothers!

"The ball has entered, Mike's breakthrough this time is very firm! But this is still a personal singles game. Are the Grizzlies really no countermeasures?"
