"Good job, Dwight, James! We completely suppressed the opponent, and we played as smoothly as the first 6 games today! They have been consumed and powerless. As long as we keep it in the second quarter, the balance of victory will be completely tilted!"

McHale was so excited that he was dancing on the spot. Since the beginning of the new season, the Grizzlies have won 6 games and the score difference between 6 games is in double digits. There has never been any team that can suppress the Grizzlies as embarrassed as they are today!

Even the Cleveland Cavaliers failed to gain any advantage on the Grizzlies. But the Rockets did it, and they still have a chance to continue to maintain this suppression!

Of course McHale felt proud. Although the Grizzlies were playing in the remaining formation, as long as they could win, who cares if you played in the remaining formation?

In competitive sports, winning is the bottom line. People will only remember that the 2008 championship was the Celtics, and they will not remember that the Lakers lost Bynum, the inside pillar.

People will only remember that the Lakers completed revenge against the Celtics' Big Three in 2010 and achieved two consecutive championships, but they will not remember that the Celtics lost Perkins at that time.

Injuries are never an excuse to lose, and winners will not feel ashamed of winning a team with an inconsistent lineup.

The Lakers' two consecutive championships are still praised, and the championship of the three Celtics is still very valuable.

Therefore, even facing the Grizzlies in the Remnant Formation, McHale is still proud of the team's performance.

In the second quarter, if Harden and Howard can bring more foul trouble to the Grizzlies, then the Rockets will win will be a foregone conclusion!

It is extremely exciting to win the king of the world just by thinking about it.

Soon, the electronic beeping at the end of the intercourse break interrupted McHale's fantasy. But he was not angry because he knew that after the second quarter, all fantasies would become reality!

"The second quarter started, Harris played 12 minutes in the first quarter. I wonder if he would continue to play. If he didn't play, who would the Grizzlies let the fourth position? Will the two-tower lineup be sent to Gasol and Azelley?" Before the game began, the local Houston commentator gloated and speculated about the Grizzlies' starting lineup in the second quarter.

It seems that for him, it is very pleasant to fall into a situation where no one is available.

On the court, Jogel looked at the second quarter starter he had lined up and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Link seemed to see through Jogel's doubts, so he smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, leave everything to me! Let's go!"

Link waved his hand and stepped back into the court with four teammates.

McHale stretched his neck on the sidelines and was amused after seeing the Grizzlies' start in the second quarter.

"Conley, Tony Allen, Vince Carter, Link and Gasol, the Grizzlies sent a roster of one, four, and four in the second quarter! Butler, Harris and Azelley are not present! The Grizzlies are very passive now because this is a lineup that has never played together this season. This means that the Grizzlies are in a situation where no one is available."

Howard was ready to become a big and four juniors, and the Grizzlies' inside defense was even weaker! He believed that after the half-time game, the Rockets would be able to embrace victory in advance!

The live camera also gave Link a close-up, but Link was expressionless and seemed not worried about the current situation.

However, everyone on the scene believed that at most, Link would be unable to hold back after 5 minutes!

Conley, Tony Allen, Carter and Gasol Jr., Houstonians don't think Link can play a reversal of the situation with this "semi-crippled" lineup.

Besides, among these people, Gasol has committed two fouls. As long as he commits another foul, he has to go out and rest.

The Grizzlies are in a desperate situation. Unless Link is the one who is a team player, the Grizzlies have no hope at all!

The game started again with cheers from Houston fans, and Link took the ball in the first attack in the second quarter.

Motieyunas did not defend Link. The Rockets were not stupid and would not allow such misalignment to easily form.

Ariza kept guarding in front of Link as always, while Motiejunas went to guard the defense speed was no longer as good as Carter back then.

Link didn't want a pick-and-roll, he stared at Ariza with his eyes tightly, as if he was ready to go out at any time.

Ariza was ready to deal with the breakthrough, but when Link accelerated, Ariza's reaction was still half a beat slower.

Link's first step was too fast, and Ariza could not intercept him as soon as possible.

Although Link surpassed most of his position, Ariza was not worried.

After all, Howard is still in the inside line!

"Come on, come on, come on..." Howard stood under the basket and muttered to himself.

He was ready to get Link in the air at any time.

Link leaned against Ariza and entered the inside, staring at the basket. Just as Howard was about to take off, Link threw the ball out of the three-point line.

At 45° on the right, Mark Gasol is already in place!

"What!?" Howard was stunned. He didn't expect Gasol to pull outside the three-point line.

Gasol does occasionally hit three-pointers in the regular season, but that is not Gasol's conventional weapon. Generally speaking, no one will deliberately guard against Gasol's three-pointer.

This time it was the same. Howard focused on Link, but ignored Gasol.

After Gasol received the basketball, there were no defensive players around him, which was a real big open space.

The Spaniard knows whether the subsequent game will go smoothly, it depends on today's three-point shooting percentage!

So Gasol withstood the pressure, spent some time aiming at the basket, and then jumped out!

Gasol had a long preparation time before shooting, after all, he didn't often shoot three-pointers. But even so, no Rockets player stepped forward and even stretched out his hand.

They seemed to have all petrified, standing there watching Gasol take action slowly. Because the Rockets all thought that the Grizzlies were gambling!

"Have the Grizzlies reached the point where they had to bet on three-pointers with the center? It's so sad!" McHale even shook his head gently off the court.

Just as Howard was about to get the rebound, Gasol's basketball went straight into the net and fell on the wooden floor!

"Marc Gasol's three-pointer hollowed out... However, the Grizzlies cannot reversal the situation with this."

The Nets were shaking, and although Howard and the local commentator were trying hard to comfort themselves, they all knew that Mark Gasol's goal was by no means a coincidence.

If you really let him go such a big gap, he will really be able to score.

Howard turned his head and looked at McHale. McHale was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies actually made a bet! For safety reasons, he signaled Howard not to put Gasol as big next.

A three-pointer made the Rockets lead by only 5 points in an instant. Today, the Rockets don’t want to give the Grizzlies any chance or any possibility of a comeback.

The Grizzlies want to use Gasol to transfer Howard? It doesn't matter, they still have 2.13 meters of Motieyunas. Moreover, Howard doesn't have to really catch up to the three-point line to defend.

To interfere with a player like Gasol's three-pointer, you just need to stretch your hands.

After the Rockets' offense, Howard made a tooth and scored a single against Gasol in the low post. Gasol's problem was the same as in the first quarter. Because he didn't want to foul, his defense was not fierce enough, and Howard's favorite thing was this soft defense.

The score difference returned to 7 points, and all Houstons breathed a sigh of relief. Can Marc Gasol kill the game with a three-pointer? Obviously that was impossible. But Howard could kill the game at a low post, and the Grizzlies still had no chance of winning!

After Howard retreated to the basket again, he found that Gasol was still on standby outside the three-point line!

Although he was reluctant, Howard left the basket and ran to the middle distance.

He won't defend Gasol, but at least when Gasol is preparing to make a three-point shot, he must be able to interfere immediately. So Howard chose to set up a defense at mid-range.

And at mid-range, once Link breaks through, Howard can immediately return to the basket.

Howard instantly felt that he was simply the greatest defensive master in the world, and he thought he had cracked the Grizzlies' conspiracy.

Link faced Ariza with the ball for the second time in a row. Howard was on the verge of the ball. If everything went well, he might be able to steal Link's pass to Gasol.

Link looked at Howard standing in the middle distance and gritted his teeth.

Thanks to Gasol's three-point goal just now, the opportunity to counterattack has finally come!

Link took a step to Ariza's left, and then quickly changed direction!

A beautiful crossover, Link left Ariza behind for the second consecutive round.

"Fuck, it's useless!" Seeing Ariza shook away by Link like a wooden stake, Howard cursed in his heart. Then, he turned around and rushed to the basket.

Howard thought he could stop Link as soon as possible, but Link was like a sports car that was speeding 200% on the highway. In the blink of an eye, it flashed past Howard!

It seems that Howard knows nothing about Link's speed.

Howard had just taken two steps when he saw Link "floating" into the air as if he had suddenly lost his gravity, and he slashed the ball into the frame with one hand!

This dunk was very powerful, making the fans of Toyota Center feel as if they were hit hard on their chests.

Link hung on the basket with one hand and shouted! All the aggrievances were released in the suppression of the first quarter!

This dunk is not only a successful offense, but also represents the strategic success of the Grizzlies.

Today, the referee's whistle was very unfriendly to him, so it was not a solution to fight Howard.

So when Link rested between the festival, he suggested that the team open up space for him. As long as Gasol helps to open up space, even if it is just a little space, Link is confident that Howard can't touch himself, so as to successfully end the attack!

What if the Rockets send others to defend Link? It doesn't matter. Because the Grizzlies are all three-pointers on the field now, this is why the Grizzlies play first, first, fourth, and first!

Jogel was very worried at first because to put it bluntly, this tactic depends on Link's personal ability. With limited space, can Link score the ball? If not, this lineup with almost no inside defense ability is equivalent to free gifts.

But when he saw Link hanging on the basket roaring, Jogel felt relieved. Just as Link himself said, Howard couldn't touch him at all!

"Don't be proud, we're still ahead!" On the court, Howard saw Link being so arrogant, so he couldn't help but start spraying when he walked to the basket to pick up the ball.

"Don't be arrogant, at the end of the half game, I promise you and your bearded friend won't laugh!"

Link responded to Howard with a relaxed look on his face, not in the slightest angered by his poor trash words.

Howard's veins bulged, and he hated the feeling of being looked down upon the most! The purpose of squirting trash is to anger the other party. If the other party doesn't hurt or itch, the one who is angry is himself.

Instead of continuing to get entangled with Howard, Link quickly turned around and retreated. He believed that as long as this attack could be played once, there would be a second and third time!

Once Pandora's box is opened, it will not be closed.
Chapter completed!
