Most people may not see anything wrong with Dior's offense and defense just now. However, Link, who had carefully observed something was wrong.

In the first two games, Dior didn't have one game, but he had almost no ball rights.

And as soon as today began, Parker hit the ball to Dior. Link believed that this could not be a coincidence.

Generally, the first attack after the start of the game will be strictly followed by tactics. Halfway through the game, there may be problems with the players' tactical execution ability deteriorating. But as soon as the game starts, the players will definitely not do anything randomly.

The guy who was shaking with coffee in slippers, Link had already started to pay attention to him silently.

The Grizzlies counterattacked, and this time Link finally received the basketball. He accelerated the breakthrough after borrowing Randolph's cover, trying to equalize the score for the Grizzlies as soon as possible and stabilize the situation.

However, just as Link stood out a few steps, he found that his eyes suddenly turned black and a solid "wall" appeared.

Dior is only 2.03 meters tall, the same as Link. But even so, the difference between the two is still very large.

Link quickly slowed down, but he still got full of his arms with Dior. Link only felt that his speed suddenly dropped to zero. After practicing strength and weight last summer, it was the first time that he felt that he was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the same height.

Link was "bounced" by Dior's stomach and didn't even pass the ball well. Randolph, who obviously wanted to cut the ball into, but unexpectedly passed the ball a little crookedly and flew out of the bottom line through Randolph's fingertips.

Link made a mistake, the Spurs ball!

"This kind of mistake is rare in Link. His passes have always hit the nail on the head. In the last moment of the last game, he even sent four assists in a row without any mistakes. But just now... hey, the Grizzlies can't waste any more opportunities."

As soon as Hubby Brown finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. The Grizzlies attacked twice in a row, both ended with mistakes. Although the people who made mistakes were different, the ways of making mistakes were different. But one thing is that they both made mistakes on Burris Dior!

That "big meat ball" has begun to attract the attention of most people.

In the first quarter, Dior's performance was excellent. On the offensive end, he was like a touch of butter. As long as the Spurs' ball came over and "swapped", it would become as smooth as silky.

On the defensive end, Dior acted as a meat shield. He swayed his fat body and his butt like a sofa cushion, delaying the Grizzlies' outside breakthrough more than once, and repeatedly defending Randolph's offense.

The pocket formation formed by him and Duncan gave the Grizzlies a chance to choose to score points with outside jump shots for a while.

On both ends of the offense and defense, the Spurs became full of vitality because of Dior.

In the end, the Spurs ended the first quarter 29-23. Duncan scored 10 points in 5 of 7 shots in a single quarter, becoming the most beautiful old man on the entire field.

But after the first quarter, Hollins and all the Grizzlies players did not focus on Duncan, but on Dior.

Dior made 2 of 2 shots in the first quarter, scored 4 points and 3 assists without any mistakes! The Frenchman's support in the waist position was the main reason why Duncan easily scored 10 points in the first quarter.

This guy doesn't have the speed of a point guard, does not have Leonard's terrifying body, and does not have the excellent finishing ability as Duncan. But his vision, feel, accurate passes and fat butt make the Grizzlies suffer a lot.

"Boris Dior caused us too much trouble. In the second quarter, I need you to pay attention to him! Don't let him play the ball easily, don't be deceived by his body shape! Then, Link, I also need you to hold the ball in the waist position! Zach and Mark, you stand high and low positions! Let's treat others with their own way!"

The Spurs scored nearly 30 points in the first quarter, and the Spurs' offense can be said to be quite successful.

But Hollins was not in a hurry, because he also had a "magic" of 2.03 meters. However, he was just a little thinner than the one just now.

Link knew his next task very well, and he needed to help the team make the offense smoother. To put it bluntly, he needed to do what Dior did in the first quarter.

In the game just now, Link focused on Leonard. At both ends of offense and defense, Link was targeting Leonard.

Next, Link will focus all on the team. The Spurs can score 30 points in a single quarter with this move, and Link believes that he and his teammates can do it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs took the lead in attacking. While Duncan and Parker were still serving the baseline ball, Link walked to Dior with his waist. The two were the same height, so communication was very convenient.

"I have something to say to you."

"Oh? What?" Dior smiled. He had known for a long time that Link was a trash talker. Didn't Leonard get upset in the last game in San Antonio?

"Unfortunately, Parker attacked. I'll find you later." After saying that, Link returned to Leonard.

I killed the Terminator in the last game, so today, just eat French bread in one bite!

Randolph did not allow Dior to catch the ball easily this time. He stuck to Dior's side and prevented the fat man from performing.

Seeing this, Dior went to the outside, trying to open up space for his teammates. Duncan was able to play in the inside singles, and Dior's tactical role was still obvious.

Without hesitation, Randolph immediately dropped Dior outside the three-point line and doubled towards Duncan.

Duncan's 10-point single-quarter status today is not a joke. If he continues to make him play alone easily, this old man might be able to score 30 or 40 points.

Duncan was not stupid. Seeing the big Black Bears running towards him, he chose to pass the ball to Dior at the top of the three-point line. Dior's shooting range can continue beyond the three-point line. This season's playoffs, Dior's chances of making three-pointers are not many, but his shooting percentage can be 50%.

Dior was ready to catch the ball, and had aimed at the basket, waiting for the basketball to fly into his hands.

"Boris!" At this moment, Dior heard Leonard's shouting.

Leonard rarely speaks. Once he shouts, it usually means something special.

Dior turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came. He did not see Leonard, but saw the young forward wearing the No. 0 jersey.

"Swoosh!"

Link passed by Dior and took the basketball away. Duncan made a mistake in passing!

"Link's steals were very active. He judged the Spurs' passing strategy correctly! It seems that he has been eyeing Dior for a long time! Link is moving forward with the flow, Dior cannot catch up with Link, only Leonard can follow Link!"

Link hit the basket and stopped a little quickly, shook Leonard out of the baseline. Then he jumped up and raised his arms, smashed the basketball into the basket!

He jumped on the spot and dunked with both hands. Link scored a steal and scored a dragon to help the Grizzlies narrow the score!

After scoring the goal, Link pointed at Dior, but said nothing. In the first quarter, Link focused on Leonard, so he did a good job in assisting defense. Now, Link spent his energy to take care of Dior, and Dior was not so easy to get the opportunity.

After slamming Randolph with high fives, Link opened his arms and continued to defend! Popovich shook his head, and the ball just now passed was a bit careless. But he believed that the Spurs still had a tactical advantage.

This time, Dior received the ball outside the three-point line and played the role of the command tower. He used a chic back pass to Leonard who cut into the basket, but because Link kept preventing Leonard from receiving the ball, Leonard's ball was not stable.

After getting the ball, Leonard took three steps to layup. Link raised his hand and gently pushed it away, and he picked up the basketball that was not caught. He only relied on the top of his finger to get the ball, but he couldn't hold it firmly, even if it was Leonard's big hand.

Link made his second consecutive steal, and the Grizzlies got another offensive opportunity.

This time, Link did not push the ball with the ball, nor did he ask for the ball outside the three-point line. Instead, he turned his back to Leonard, used his back and butt, and arched to the near the penalty area, asking for the ball with his back!

Popovich widened his eyes. Grizzlies are following the same thing!

In order to prevent Leonard from stealing the pass, Link deliberately leaned back and pushed Leonard away before letting Conley pass the ball.

This pass timing is very difficult to master. It is very demanding of tacit understanding when a teammate is at the moment he is at the top of his opponent, but these are not difficult for Conley.

After Link received the ball, Leonard licked his lips nervously. Link liked to see Leonard's nervous look, which made him feel very accomplished. But today, he would not fight Leonard head-on.

Tony Allen cut in, but Danny Green kept holding onto Teacher Tony. Leonard's long arms kept interfering, hoping to disrupt Link's passing rhythm.

Link wanted to help Dior like a waist position, but it seemed that he had no room for passing.

Just when everyone thought Link would be forced to single against Leonard, Link passed the ball behind him without looking at the basket and behind him!

Randolph, who cut from the bottom line, just arrived and received a basketball and took a counter-basketball!

It was not until he heard the cheers in the stands that Leonard realized that Link had just passed the ball!

"How did this guy do it!? You can still see your teammates behind you while carrying the basket!?" Hubby Brown was stunned. Dior turned around and passed the ball to play Randolph. Now, Link simply saved the step of turning around to see his teammates, and directly turned his back to the basket and completed the assist!

Under the same circumstances, Link scored a goal that was one level more difficult than Dior!

Of course, Link didn't have eyes on the back of his head, but had already glanced at Randolph with his outlook. Whether a player's passing field is good depends on whether he can see opportunities in his eyes, but whether he can see opportunities in his mind!

Link cut off, attacked and passed, allowing the Grizzlies to chase 4 points in a row, instantly approaching the score difference! Now, the distance between the two sides is tied, only one goal away!

The open and secret battle between the two forwards began to become more and more intense!

After assisting Randolph, Link pointed at the Big Black Bear, which was considered a celebration.

Afterwards, Link, who passed by Dior, did not forget the unfinished conversation.

"What I want to say is, look at it, you are just a weakened version of me. Next, let you see how the all-round striker is doing it!"

Dior was not angry after being provoked, but wanted to invite that guy to have coffee. He had known for a long time that Link was the kind of player who could make the team better.
Chapter completed!
