Link shook Leonard away from the beginning, which put Leonard in great psychological pressure.

Although that guy is still expressionless, he just doesn't like to react emotions to his face, which does not mean he has no emotions.

Leonard has played 11 games this season, and it can be said that he has limited his matchup in almost every game.

When playing against the Mavericks, he was so careful that the "tall, rich and handsome" Parsons, who had just signed a big contract, made only 2 of 10 shots.

Bledsoe was targeted with 3 of 15 shots.

When playing against the Hawks, Korver, a highly efficient shooter, also made only 1 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, with a shooting percentage of only 30%.

Leonard's defensive ability has been tested by the game, and he has become a nightmare for countless outside players.

If he had just shown his talent last season's playoffs, then this season, he is already an absolute star player.

The title of "gdp successor" has been increasingly used on Leonard.

Therefore, **Vicci and many fans, the media's expectations for Leonard are not blindly confident. Leonard's performance this season is indeed very gratifying.

But they all ignored one thing - in the past 11 games, none of the players Leonard defended was comparable to Link.

Although Leonard also defended Kobe from 11 of 14 during this period, he was very embarrassed. But even Kobe's current attack power cannot be compared with Link.

Their examples are completely inappropriate to Link.

Leonard can defend them, but it doesn't mean he can defend Link.

The Spurs made a second attack, and Duncan sat in the inside to play Harris. But Gasol doubled up immediately, leaving no room for "Stone Buddha".

In fact, when Gasol was on the court, the Grizzlies' inside defense was pretty good.

In the end, Duncan had to pass the ball back to Parker, and the Spurs' plan to force the ball to the basket failed.

Once the first attack cannot be attacked, it will be very difficult to break through the Grizzlies' defense line.

This time, the Spurs spent 24 seconds, but still did not find any decent offensive opportunities.

Leonard eventually had to stop the mid-range shot with Link's defense. He failed to defend Link, but instead Link took the lead in defending him.

Leonard missed the shooting, attacking and defense, and the Spurs' future star were suppressed by Link.

Link ran towards the frontcourt the moment he finished defending. Now the Grizzlies are a lineup of one, one, four, and the biggest advantage compared to the Spurs is that they are fast!

So, Link wanted to increase the pace of fast attack and defense.

Harris grabbed the rebound and handed it to Link. Link leaned against Leonard and killed the penalty area. The game was very simple and rough!

The Spurs' defense was attracted by Link and almost everyone was chasing the penalty area.

At this moment, Link passed the ball out from a bunch of guys wearing black Spurs jerseys!

No one knows how Link saw outside, and no one knows why he always finds the gap between passing balls in the cracks.

He just can do it.

The basketball fell accurately to Tobias Harris outside the three-point line, and at this time, Duncan was next to Link, in the penalty area!

Link attracted all the Spurs' defenses, and Harris was unmarked!

Harris did not hesitate. He knew that he had received a lot of criticism during this period. People said that his data was inflated, but it had no practical effect. It was not as practical as a Randolph in his thirties.

Harris can hear these voices. Now, it is time to show value and shut up everyone!

Decisive shooting brings an extremely high hit rate. The hesitant you are in the shooting, the more you feel, the smoother you move, the higher the hit rate.

Harris' shooting was not unexpected, Link successfully got an assist, and the Grizzlies also tied the score.

The Spurs thought that the 5-point lead was the beginning, but they didn't expect that it would be the end.

As it turns out, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower is not discounted at all. As long as Link is there, the Grizzlies' offense will not stop.

Becky Harmon realized the strength of the NBA championship team for the first time. They made so much preparations before the game, and **Vic was so confident before the game.

But in the actual game, in just two rounds, the Grizzlies lost the paper advantages of the Spurs.

Both sides were playing anxiously, and the Spurs did not take any advantage. This game was as difficult for the Spurs as last season's Western Conference Finals.

When the first quarter ended in the seventh minute, Link hit the target again with a throw under the interference of Leonard, giving the Grizzlies a 4-point lead.

Leonard was so exhausted that he was out of breath. After just a while of the game, Link had already scored 7 points and 2 assists. And to do all this, Link only took 4 shots!

In other words, Leonard has only defended Link once so far. Of course, most people think that it was just Link's own poor touch that caused the iron shot, which had nothing to do with Leonard's defense.

After Link scored this goal, **Vicci had to call a timeout. Although the Spurs were not behind much, **Vicci wanted more than just not falling behind much.

What he wants is to control the game and gain an advantage. Only in this way can the Grizzlies lose in a row after a year!

Let the Grizzlies lose in a row, this is **Vic's only goal today!

Therefore, during this suspension, **Vicci was very irritable and his voice was much louder than before.

"Next, if nothing unexpected happens, it's time for Gasol to rest! You all pay attention to me and attack the penalty area with all your might! Once Gasol is out, the Grizzlies' penalty area is an ATM! In any case, we all need to overtake the score before the end of the first quarter!"

**Wich finished speaking, he slapped the tactical board hard to express his dissatisfaction.

The old man knows very well that the next few minutes will be the key to whether the Spurs can win the game. If the Spurs still play poorly when the Grizzlies are weak inside, the game will be quite difficult.

On the other side, on the Grizzlies' bench, Jogel and **Vic were in total in two states.

Joggle is in a good mood. The Grizzlies have not played such a smooth game for a long time recently.

But whether this momentum can be maintained next is the key.

Jogel originally planned to let Whiteside continue watching for a few minutes first. After all, this was only the second day after Whiteside came to the team, and his training with the team was still quite immature.

But Whiteside's hot gaze changed Jogel's mind.

Anyway, Whiteside doesn't have to do anything offensively, he just goes up to do dirty work and tiring work. If he can't play well, he can change it at any time.

So Jogel waved his hand and shouted.

"Hasan, Azeli. Next, you two partner in the inside. Your task is very simple. Do you have to defend and try your best to grab every rebound. Don't let the Spurs attack the basket easily, do you understand?"

"Yes!" As soon as Joggel finished speaking, Whiteside seemed to be lying on his butt, suddenly "bounced" and responded loudly.

He can't wait to improve the 2k score!

"Hey? Hassan Whiteside turned off the training suit. Could it be that he is going to play?" Mark Jackson on the commentator saw Whiteside jumping on the sidelines and couldn't help but guess the Grizzlies' strategy of using people.

"Whiteside just practiced with the Grizzlies yesterday and came on the court today. Are you a little too hasty?" Even Hubby Brown was a little worried about this substitution.

Although Whiteside is tall and long, his figure is much stronger than when he first participated in the draft. However, static talent does not represent everything, and height and length does not mean that a player can perform well.

It's not just Mark Jackson and Hubby Brown, but in fact, most live fans are a little worried.

Can Whiteside, a stranger to people, withstand the pressure?

Link looked at Whiteside, eager to try, and walked up to look at his eyes seriously.

All the things that should be made are over, and now it's time to take him seriously.

"You know, you can't fail." Link was serious and completely lost his image as a "game goat man" yesterday.

"I know, I won't fail."

After Whiteside finished speaking, the electronic beeps sounded and the game started again.

On the Spurs, Dior replaced Duncan and Mills replaced Parker. The rest remained unchanged. **Vic still kept Split's high point on the court.

When **Vicci was so happy when he saw the Grizzlies actually sent the short-term workers he had just signed.

He believes that in the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Spurs will regain the advantage!

"The game starts again, the Spurs attack. Now that Gasol is not here, the Spurs will definitely make a big fuss in the inside. I don't know if the new member of the Grizzlies can withstand the pressure." Hubby Brown was talking, and the live camera gave Whiteside a close-up of the facial features.

"Haha, that guy said in an interview before the game that he played to improve his 2k score. I think he is as naive as before." Mark Jackson smiled, ready to watch Whiteside's joke.

Leonard doesn't want to be suppressed by Link throughout the game. He has already made Link score 7 points, and this number will definitely continue to rise.

If you want to suppress Link, you must work harder on the offensive end!

So after receiving the basketball, Leonard called Dior to play a pick-and-roll cooperation with him, and Leonard wanted to hit the basket!

Dior can continue to the range outside the three-point line, making Azeli dare not switch defenses easily. When the experienced Dior blocked Link, he was suspected of moving cover.

After all, he is an old fry and he will seize any opportunity to gain an advantage.

Link tried his best to squeeze out the Frenchman, but Leonard had already broken into the penalty area, and even though Link was as fast as lightning, he could not catch up.

Leonard gritted his teeth and jumped towards the basket. Link's throw just now is all returned!

**Vic stood up and prepared to applaud Leonard's goal. No. 2 did not disappoint him, and the Spurs could completely carry the next decade.

Leonard stretched out his long arms and threw the basketball towards the basket. But just when Leonard thought everything was ready, he suddenly felt that the basket was gone and he seemed to be covered by a mountain.

"I won't be blocked by you!"

Leonard only heard an inexplicable shout, and the next second, the basketball that was about to fall was slapped out by a powerful hand!

"What!?" Leonard turned his head in surprise. Didn't the Grizzlies' inside line now be very weak?

Weak fart!

In the end, Leonard only saw the unknown center who landed heavily and the basketball that flew into the audience.

He suffered a 10-day short-term worker blood in the penalty area!

Everyone opened their mouths, including the Grizzlies' players themselves. They would never have thought that this short-term worker could actually make Leonard's bloody appearance!

Only Link went up with a smile and slapped Whiteside.
Chapter completed!
