Grizzlies' new aid Quincy Pondsett faced Contney Lee from outside the three-point line, whose catch shot was seriously disturbed and he made another blow.

Link felt a little heartbroken after hearing the ironclad on the bench. The basket of the Federal Express Arena was suffering a lot today.

"I still haven't made it. The Rockets' tactics are too simple. It's actually okay to play simple tactics, but you need to have the personal ability of superstars to support them. But the Rockets obviously don't take any of them."

After the basketball popped up, Gasol Jr. protected the basketball steadily. Dalemport averaged nearly 4 frontcourt rebounds per game at his peak, but now Lian Po is old.

This time, Gasol Jr. made a long pass from the backcourt and sent the ball to Pondsett, who had just completed the defense.

Pondsett leaned against Contley and Li straight to the basket. At this time, the two Rockets' inside players, Dalemport and Scola, had not yet run through the halftime, and the Rockets' basket was no defense at all.

In the end, Pondsett completed the attack with a one-handed dunk, which made all the fans shout. This was Pondsett's 6th point in this game. Until now, Pondsett made three shots.

From the first quarter to the bench, the Rockets were defeated on the whole line! At this time, the Grizzlies had already led the Rockets by 15 points. Link sat comfortably on the bench, and he didn't even need to spend too much energy in this game.

"A beautiful goal, the process of this game was definitely something that everyone had never expected before. The Rockets had no power to fight back in front of the Grizzlies. Last season, they were able to play evenly matches. But now, the gap between the two teams is quite obvious."

The game was paused again, and the live camera gave McHale a close-up. It has to be said that although the "refrigerator" wanted to pretend to be calm, the embarrassment could not be covered up.

At this time, the game has reached the third quarter, leaving the Rockets with fewer and fewer opportunities to turn the tables. Martin's shooting percentage is poor today, and the Rockets' substitute was beaten by the Grizzlies again. McHale really doesn't know what to do. Could it be that he has to wear a jersey and go on his own?

This timeout, McHale emphasized that the team needs to shoot more three-pointers and protect the rebounds on the defensive end. However, these two arrangements obviously cannot allow the Rockets to reverse the game.

In the end, the Rockets were beaten 31 to 16 in the third quarter. They entered the final battle in the fourth quarter with a 25-point disadvantage.

Such a big score difference has long lost the Rockets players. And what is even more terrifying is that the Grizzlies did not relax their vigilance because they were leading by 25 points.

In the fourth quarter, Link, Randolph and Guy still performed strongly, killing the Rockets' hope of winning. 3 minutes and 53 seconds before the end of the game, Hollins waved his hand and replaced all the main players. Even Iranian center Haddadi got a chance to play.

There is no doubt that this means the Grizzlies have ignited their victory cigar!

The game became boring, but no Grizzlies players left the field early. After all, this was the first big victory the Grizzlies have won this season, and they were too excited to leave early.

Now, Grizzlies fans enjoy the joy after the victory is no longer the game itself.

"It seems that the game is over. The Grizzlies have replaced the full substitute. If nothing unexpected happens, Link and others will not play again in the last 4 minutes of the game." Hubby Brown was in a good mood and was able to torture the Rockets without Arthur and Conley, which does prove that both sides are no longer on the same level.

"Link's performance today is very good. In the first game of the new season, he scored 23 points, 4 assists and 8 rebounds. Don't forget that Link has three steals today! This young man's defensive achievements are already comparable to those of the top stars. He is still versatile, and his progress can be seen with the naked eye. I am very much looking forward to him being able to perform better this year."

"In addition, Randolph is still strong, with 20 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game and also contributed 3 steals. Scola did not get any advantage in Randolph's head today, and Zach directly destroyed the Argentine. Guy scored 14 points, and it seems that he has recovered well. Vasquis scored 10 points and 6 assists, and his performance was amazing for the first time. In addition, Pondsett and Tony Allen also have the possibility of scoring in double digits."

After seeing the Grizzlies' data, Brown smiled happily. Unlike the Rockets' personal offense that relies on Martin, everyone on the Grizzlies' side participated in the offense.

Link is becoming more and more mature. Now no one will be surprised to see him cut all-around data.

Hubby Brown can even look forward to seeing if Link can get 20+5+5 this season.

Last season, Link missed the opportunity to get 20+5+5 in the rookie season, but this year, Link is likely to achieve this achievement.

Although it seems that 20+5+5 is not very difficult, in fact, only 6 players in the league were able to play such data last season. And there are only 7 players in NBA history who can play such data in their careers! All of these 7 are legends!

Hubby Brown believes that Link will definitely be a member of the 20+5+5 club this season.

Hubby Brown feels that this season is already fun enough to witness the growth of a Grizzlies rookie.

A few minutes later, the game ended. The score was frozen at 113 to 93. The Grizzlies beat the Houston Rockets by 20 points at home, making a good start to the new season!

The Grizzlies scored a very high overall shooting percentage of 56.3% today, which can be said to fully reflect the Rockets' defensive level.

On the other hand, the Rockets scored less than 100 points, which undoubtedly highlighted the Grizzlies' defensive skills.

After the game, countless reporters surrounded Link. Rudy Guy couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

How long has it been? That undrafted has become the biggest star in Memphis. Now, even he and Randolph have to stand aside.

On the sidelines, Lionel Hollins also breathed a sigh of relief. Losing Arthur and Conley, he was still very worried about the team's state in recent games. Fortunately, Vasquis seemed to be adapting to the role. Of course, the most important thing is that Link really played at the All-Star level.

When the Grizzlies gave Link more opportunities, Link was not overwhelmed, but did better.

However, Hollins also knew very well that this was not a real test. The next two games against the Thunder and the Spurs were the real moments to test the Grizzlies and Link’s quality.

As for the Houston Rockets? They are really not good this year!

※※※

Just as the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies, Timberwolves fans finally waited for the "Spanish Golden Boy" Ricky Rubio's debut in Minneapolis' target center.

Rubio was selected in the fifth pick in 2009, but it was not officially landed in the NBA until two years later.

In the first game of NBA, Rubio sent out all-around data of 6 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, which is worthy of the expectations of Timberwolves fans.

However, today at the target center, the protagonist was not Rubio, but Durant, who scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists!

Yesterday, the Thunder had just finished the opening match with the Magic. Today, they rushed to the snowy Minneapolis without stopping and played such a wonderful game without any fatigue.

Among them, Durant scored 30 in both games! Durant's progress is obvious to all. Although he is already the top scorer in two consecutive games, everyone can clearly see that this is not Durant's upper limit!

It is said that Durant may become the first player to score three consecutive games in nearly 20 years since Jordan!

With Durant's brave performance, the Timberwolves lost at home, and the Thunder won two consecutive wins back-to-back!

After the game, compared with Durant, Rubio, Love and Beasley's popularity was really pitifully low.

"Kevin, do you think you can achieve the three-game scoring champion!"

"How do you think of Ricky Rubio, do you think his performance deserves what people expect from him?"

"Kevin, are your goal in the new season the championship? This time, you won't be eliminated in the first round again, right?"

The reporters asked Durant many questions, and Durant also answered them patiently one by one. But in the end, a reporter's question made Durant frown.

"Kevin, the Thunder will meet the Grizzlies again in the next game. Last season's playoffs, the Thunder were eliminated by the Grizzlies in the first round. You once had a game where Link defended 3 of 14 shots, which directly led to the end of the series. How would you respond when meeting the Grizzlies and Link again??"

This reporter's question successfully made Durant angry. Last season's 3 of 14 shots was in the first round. This summer, all the frustration and unwillingness of Kobe's defeat in the ball inning instantly surged into Durant's heart. When he thought of Link, Durant gritted his teeth.
Chapter completed!
