471: Restless Movement Gene Monthly Pass)
Rudy Guy is indeed a little unhappy.
When Guy learned that he was abandoned by the Grizzlies, he was indeed a little angry.
This has nothing to do with Link, and Guy is not the kind of guy who always blames others for making things happen.
This has nothing to do with Robert Pera. Guy knows that NBA is a business world, and he won't blame anyone if he is traded.
Guy just felt unwilling to give up. He was injured in the Grizzlies for two years, but the Grizzlies happened to rise in the past two years, so Guy didn't want to encounter it. The rise of the Grizzlies does not mean that I, Guy, cannot do it.
If you are traded, you will be traded, but the media said that Guy's departure has created the glory of the Grizzlies. Guy was really angry when he looked at it.
As for the past, the Grizzlies had bad grades, they all blamed me.
So to be precise, Guy was angry with the media. He knew that every game played at the Federal Express Arena now attracts much attention.
Therefore, this is also his chance to justify himself.
"I, Rudy Guy, are still an excellent core player, I am still strong. The Grizzlies are rising now and have nothing to do with my departure." This is what Rudy Guy hopes to prove at the Federal Express Arena.
Guy thought that his existence did not hinder the Grizzlies, but in fact, when he occupied a lot of attack power but was too inefficient, Guy did hinder the Grizzlies' attack. Maybe he himself didn't realize it, maybe Hollins could no longer speak. But in this world, there are always a few people who like to tell the truth.
Tony Allen is one of them.
On January 27, before the Grizzlies' home game against the Magic began, Tony Allen was interviewed by reporters, "How do you think of Rudy Guy's departure at the beginning of this season?"
Teacher Tony then replied bluntly, "There is no one who was traded away. We are both internal and external, everyone works hard and plays very together. Everyone has seen the result of doing this. We are now the number one in the league."
Link, who was standing by, felt ashamed when he heard Tony Allen's answer. This was too straightforward!
Tony Allen's words undoubtedly added another gouache to Guy's hot heart. When we cooperate, we cannot make each other. Then if we become opponents, we should destroy each other!
According to Link, Guy has indeed been relatively cancerous in the past two years, with low offensive efficiency, obsessed with singles, and destroying the team system. Whenever he leaves a team, the team will rise up coincidentally. This is indeed very embarrassing for Guy. His cancerous hat was finally removed until he went to the Spurs in the future.
But in the same way, if Guy had no strength, there would not be a team allowing him to do so. Guy is not the Spurs' role player now. When facing an angry Guy, Link still needs to be prepared.
No matter who he faces today, he will do his best. After all, Link has been waiting for this game for too long. The "thug gene" in his body is restless.
Having said that, Guy's athletic ability is also quite strong. This time, Link was even more excited.
After the warm-up, players from both sides stepped into the stadium. Looking at the Five Tigers of the Magic Team, Link really experienced what it means to be without weak teams in the NBA. Because the Magic Team's lineup is really good.
Point guard Jamill Nelson, who was an All-Star point guard just four years ago, was one of Howard's most capable assistants. After a serious injury, he declined, but he still averaged 14.7 points and 7.2 assists per game this season, and his strength is quite good.
Pointback J.J. Redick, one of the best shooters in the league. This season, averaging 15.1 points per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 39%, making it a perfect puzzle.
Small forward Rudy Guy, averaging 17.2 points per game is a new low in the past five years. But even so, you can't say that Guy is completely powerless.
Power forward, Glen Davis, the center of the Celtics, was once a member of the Celtics championship. It was an important bargaining chip that the Magic got from the 76ers, and the potential newcomer Nikola Vucevic.
In just the second grade, Vucevic has scored excellent statistics of 12.8 points, 11.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.
The Magic played against the Heat two days ago, and Vucevic even scored a super-large double-double with 20 points and 29 rebounds. The 29 rebounds in a single game also broke the Magic's record set by O'Neal.
On the bench, the Magic also sat Link's old acquaintance Avraro and Turkish striker Tekogru.
Looking at such a lineup, it is difficult for you to associate Magic with the word "countdown to the league". So if you take it lightly, Magic can really kill the game. The defending champion Heat only won Magic by 2 points a few days ago! There are many games, and Magic actually has a small gap in losing.
As Charles Barkley said, this game really doesn't necessarily mean to be one-sided.
The referee whistle sounded, and Vucevic beat Gasol Jr. in the jump ball stage, and the Magic attacked first!
Rudy Guy was very active. He worked hard to run as soon as he came up today, trying to get rid of Iguodala's entanglement.
The showdown between Guy and Link is the highlight, but the showdown between him and Iguodala is also a highlight. After all, this year, it was Iguodala who replaced his position.
After Guy ran quickly outside the three-point line, he received a pass from Jamil Nelson. At the same time, Vucevic was in the pick-and-roll position. It has to be said that the Montenegro center has a really strong tactical awareness. He has excellent skills and a high basketball IQ. It is no wonder that the Magic considers an important bargaining chip to complete Howard's trade.
After taking advantage of the cover, Rudy Guy stepped into the penalty area in two steps! Vucevic's cover quality was very high, and even the strong Iguodala could not completely squeeze out the cover.
In this way, Guy broke into the penalty area and completed an extremely stretched one-handed dunk before Gasol returned to the basket!
"Bang!"
The basket made a loud noise. After Guy landed, he whistled to the sky at the stands. This was the meeting gift he gave to his old boss!
"Rudy Guy was very excited today and ended the attack with a dunk at the beginning. It seems that he really wants to re-prove himself at the Federal Express Arena. The former Grizzlies star was very angry, and I believe this is just the beginning of Guy's crazy." Hubby Brin was relatively calm in the face of Guy's dunk.
Indeed, Guy's dunk was very exciting and imposing. But it doesn't matter, Link can handle everything!
Sure enough, Conley handed the ball to Link on the first attack of the Grizzlies.
j.j.Redick is 1.93 meters tall, ten centimeters shorter than Link. So, Stevens arranged for Link to open the fire as soon as the game started.
Even Redick's defensive back is not very effective. It would be even more a disaster to let him defend the forward line.
When Link faced Redick, he didn't want to cover it, but suddenly started to speed after simply shaking!
Link felt that his legs were full of strength, as if he had two explosives tied to his legs, which would explode at any time!
He kicked the ground suddenly, and the refreshing sense of acceleration spread throughout his body! Link only saw Redick's surprised expression and easily broke through.
"Link's breakthrough was very fast, Redick didn't react." Hubby Brown smiled.
However, it was not that Redick didn't react, it was because Link was too fast! But from the stands, people could not intuitively see Link's progress.
Just as Link was preparing to shoot, his former teammate Rudy Guy double-teamed over. The Magic did have a backup plan, and they would not push Redick forward to die alone.
Just as Guy closed the ball, Link passed the ball to Iguodala. Iguodala shot from the left open and fired, and the Grizzlies fans were ready to celebrate the goal.
However, Iguodala missed the open three-pointer. The basketball hit the basket hard, which was a long rebound!
Iguodala's three-pointers are not very stable, and the 31.7% three-point shooting percentage is enough to illustrate the problem. You can't ask him to hit every open position steadily.
The basketball after hitting the basket was unbiased and flew towards Link and Guy. Guy worked hard and prepared to take this long rebound. He knew that Link was also a rebounder, but that guy was very good at blocking the position and judging the rebounding point.
But now, the two are in the same position and are both on the rebound. This duel depends on who can jump higher and get the basketball first.
In this regard, Rudy Guy is extremely confident! As Link's former teammate, Guy feels that he still has a good understanding of Link's athletic ability. Link's physical fitness is average and he can't compare with himself! This time, he will definitely win!
So, Link and Guy jumped at the same time! Guy stretched out his arms, and he had even simulated the counterattack route after he took the rebound in his mind!
However, in the air, Guy's expression gradually changed from confidence to fear. Because he found that Link's body was rising faster than himself, and in the end, he got the rebound earlier than him!
When did this guy become so able to jump?
Guy was shocked. It turned out that this was the feeling of being Link's opponent.
"Iguodala missed a three-pointer, but Link got an offensive rebound!"
Accompanied by Hubi Brown's roar, Link broke through after landing. Facing Vucevic's assisting defense, Link easily threw the ball. The basketball went over Vucevic's fingertips and fell back into the net.
2-2, Link succeeded in the second attack, and the Grizzlies did not let the Magic lead for too long.
Link was very proud after landing. Hill's athletic ability in the 2002-03 season was indeed strong! Both the jump and breakthrough were very refreshing, and the motivation was just right!
It feels like changing from a grocery car to a sports car! He can get manic at any time and end everything cruelly!
Fans were applauding Link, and Hubby Brown was cheering Link. But in fact, they all thought Link was just an ordinary throw.
Chapter completed!
