Kevin Martin experienced Link's all-round ability on the offensive end last season, but he didn't expect that guy actually had new tricks.

Everyone thinks that Link must have practiced his ball-holding offense this offseason. But in fact, the focus of Link's training this offseason is actually physical and strength. Link does practice ball-holding offense, but the energy spent is not as great as people imagine.

But with two consecutive upgrades, Link's offensive ability with balls has also made great progress. It can be said that he has achieved twice the result with half the effort.

In the first goal of the season, Link took the lead for the Grizzlies. Just now, Vasquis chose to give the ball to Link instead of Guy, which also demonstrated Link's core position now.

The Grizzlies are no longer confused now, and after they establish their core, they will not change easily.

"Link's form is still very good. He perfectly continued his state in the playoffs last season. It seems that Link has been sweating a lot this summer. Now, let's see how the Rockets' offense is going!"

Defense is still the Rockets' weakness, especially after they traded Battier to the Grizzlies last season, their defense was even worse. Tabitt did not play the Rockets' expected performance. It turns out that a few rookies with high picks may not be able to play even if you give them a chance.

This year, the Rockets' center is still Jordan Hill, and the substitute center even had to use Haitian veteran Dalemport Tabitt. He has been kicked out of the rotation. For this water dispenser, the Rockets paid Bathir.

I have to say that the Rockets did have too many brainless operations last season.

But defense is not good, the Rockets advocate offense! This season, the Rockets coach has become the former star player "refrigerator" Kevin McHale. McHale is not a coach who is particularly obsessed with defense, so in the Rockets, he also treats the team as an offensive team.

Therefore, the Rockets' offense looks aggressive. Lowry is already quite as stylish as the Toronto era while playing gestures.

But unfortunately, Lowry is only three seconds long. Because he caught the passer blindly as soon as he passed the halfway point!

Martin was entangled by Link so that he could not even run out of the ball. Link was willing to enjoy the pleasure of torture Martin with his strong body and could not extricate himself.

The hard work of this offseason is really worth the money.

Another outside player of the Rockets, Chase Bardinger, is a beach volleyball player delayed by basketball. His abilities are mediocre in all aspects and it is difficult to get opportunities under Guy's defense.

In the two inside players, Jordan Hill couldn't play Gasol Scola, who was fighting with Randolph and was not ready to shoot.

Lowry eventually had to seek a breakthrough on his own, but Vasquith's defensive ability amazes Lowry.

It seems that Vasquis, who is not particularly strong, seems to be not very good at defending. However, his height of 1.98 meters is definitely a "mountain" level in the point guard position. Moreover, although he is an international player, Vasquis has received American basketball education since middle school. In high school, he was still Durant's teammate.

In NCAA, Vasquis also played for four years. Therefore, he had long been accustomed to the strength of the United States. So on the defensive end, Vasquis was also quite tough!

Lowry was already much shorter than Vasquis, and when he found out that the other party was a tough guy, he also turned off the engine.

Finally, Lowry stumbled over the ball to Martin. Martin wanted to commit a foul, but Link would no longer be fooled at this time.

In this way, Martin hit the box with a three-pointer who made a foul. The Rockets' proud offense was resolved as soon as they came!

"The Rockets' tactics are a bit messy." Hubby Brown frowned. To be honest, judging from this round, the Rockets' offense is not as well organized as Adelman coached last season.

Hubby Brown is still skeptical about McHale's ability.

However, Link had no doubt at all that McHale's famous tactic was the famous "x**d". It would be a hell that his offense could be as smooth as Princeton's Adelman.

2 to 0, the Grizzlies continue to oppress!

The Rockets and the Grizzlies met last season, and in the eyes of fans, both sides were teams of the same level. But this year, the Grizzlies had the momentum of a strong Western Conference team as soon as they came out!

This time, Vasquis directly assisted Randolph to make a strong hit at a low post. The Grizzlies don't do those fancy ones at all, so they can do whatever they can efficiently.

Randolph is still strong this season, after all, he was the man who beat "Stone Buddha" in the playoffs last year. Scola is one year older and his defensive end has significantly declined.

And after all, Scola's body is there. Hard defense at low positions is no longer Scola's strength.

Randolph and Link scored goals respectively, and next, it was Guy's turn.

Chase Bardinger was once the champion of the McDonald's slam dunk contest. During his college years, he was also a veritable dunk player. In the first two seasons of his career, he also contributed wonderful dunks to Rockets fans.

Then, it's gone.

He just can jump, and occasionally shoots three-pointers but is unstable. This is almost the impression of fans.

Defense? This is never what Bardinger is good at.

After receiving the basketball, Guy called Gasol Jr. to cover it, and then easily broke through Badinger with the cover, and shot from his favorite mid-range jumper.

It can be seen that Guy is still very dependent on CNY. But as long as he shoots correctly, there is no problem with relying on CNY.

Easy, Guy scored in front of Bardinger. 6-0, McHale was covered in dark lines. If this continues, his first game as the head coach will be screwed up.

This time, Lowry broke through and planned to score himself. Unfortunately, Mark Gasol gave Lowry a big shot at the basket.

Gasol is in the rising period, and is improving both in defense and offense. Lowry is indeed a bit stubbornly challenging the Spanish Tower.

The Rockets' offense failed again, and the Grizzlies immediately fought back!

If Conley was there, the ball just now would probably be able to play fast attacks. Whether Conley was pushing himself or getting the ball quickly, it was a weapon for converting offense.

But Vasquith's fast attack awareness was not that strong, so the Grizzlies finally got into the position.

But it doesn't matter. Link believes that the Rockets' defense is no different from playing fast attacks and positions, and they can score points!

It has to be said that the baptism of the three rounds of the playoffs last season was not only for Link, but also for the entire Grizzlies to be trained. Now they are really stress-free when facing the Rockets' loose defense.

Link and Vasquis played hand-in-hand and cooperated. After handing the ball to Link, Vasquis did not hesitate, but immediately ran to the right horn. There, Gasol had set up a cover for Vasquis without the ball!

Vasquis made a gap, and Link's pass was just over! The latter did not hesitate and made a three-pointer before Lowry caught up!

"Can you enter? This is an excellent opportunity!"

As soon as Hubby Brown finished speaking, the three-pointer Vasquis shot into the net hollowed out!

The moment the goal was scored, a rapid whistle sounded throughout the game. 9-0, McHale stopped the game, and the Rockets were stunned when they came up!

At first, people thought it would be Link's personal performance. At first, people thought Martin and Link would have a battle against each other.

But after playing for several rounds, I realized that the difference between the Rockets and the Grizzlies is not just a Link.

At the beginning of the game, all the Grizzlies' players played. It turns out that they are no longer on the same level as the teams struggling on the edge of the Western Conference playoffs.
Chapter completed!
