The new NBA season officially started. After two match days, all 30 teams in the league appeared. Of course, some people are happy and some are worried.

The Clippers must have laughed happily, Paul's 20 points, 9 assists, Griffin's 22 points, 7 rebounds, and the screaming all-connection all gave Clippers fans the capital to challenge the Lakers.

Miami Heat fans must be very comfortable. They will take revenge on the Mavericks in the first game of the new season. LeBron James has obviously developed a back-to-back skill and evolved again. This season, the Big Three continues to directly target the championship, and do not think anyone can stop them.

The New Jersey Nets were also happy (the previous article was written incorrectly as the Brooklyn Nets, which was my mistake, apologize). Deron and Mayo's performance in the first game scored 44 points, making Nets fans seem to have found spring.

Overall, most teams got satisfactory results after these two match days. But only the Thunder and Durant, who had won two consecutive victories, were not very satisfied with the status quo.

"I agree with what you said, Kevin, we must let the Grizzlies taste great this year!" After returning to the locker room with the Timberwolves, Westbrook grinned beside Durant.

Not only Durant, most Thunder players actually feel very worried about what happened last year. In the original history, the Thunder reached the Western Conference Finals last season. As a result, last year, Link's appearance made the Thunder not even pass the first round.

This shows how big the gap is. The Thunder players' psychological estimates are also the least of the Western Conference semi-finals. As a result, they went fishing in the first round, which most of them could not accept.

"Yes, yes, we must make the Grizzlies pay the price! We lost last season, but it doesn't mean that they can defeat us." Congolese striker Ibaka also met, and the entire Thunder locker room seemed to be declaring the Grizzlies.

Durant nodded happily. He didn't expect his teammates to be so powerful. At the critical moment, he stood with him.

During this year's session, Durant is the NBA player with the most streetball games. In Los Angeles, he plays all the Drews League and Venice Beach League as long as it is a game! His core idea is to stabilize his own state. No matter the level of the game, he plays very seriously.

Why did Durant do this? Isn’t it because he stimulated himself by 3 of 14 last season?

Now, it's not just Durant being stimulated, but everyone in the Thunder are stimulated.

Durant believes that the next game is in the Federal Express Arena, the Grizzlies will die for a lifetime!

"I will do my best to deal with Link. We will definitely win in the next game!" Durant stood up like a leader, putting his hand in the middle.

Then, everyone put their hands on them at once.

“1,2,3 Thunder!”

The Grizzlies who just won the game don't know that they have been targeted by a more dangerous team.

The day after the game against the Rockets, Link still arrived at the training hall early. Even though this year is a shrinking season, there are still 66 games to play. The victory of one game is really insignificant in 66 games.

So Link knew very well that a fierce victory over the Rockets does not mean that the Grizzlies will definitely succeed this season. If you have to continue to work hard, you will naturally be surpassed by others.

But what surprised Link was that when he walked into the training hall today, he found that he was not the earliest! On the training ground, a man wearing a Grizzlies training vest was already shooting after practicing dribbling.

Seeing someone coming in, the man on the court also stopped his movements and stared at Link.

It was not until then that Link saw the man's face clearly Jimmy Butler.

"It's so early, Jimmy." Link greeted Butler.

"Ash, Lin." Butler didn't talk much, mainly because he was not very familiar with the Grizzlies players.

Butler played several rounds in the last game until garbage time, scoring 2 points and 1 rebound, that's all. He wanted a first-round end rookie. The only reason he was remembered was that the person who exchanged him was in 2008.

As for him, few people are willing to know about it. So even in the Grizzlies, Butler is not very eye-catching.

"Where are you practicing shooting?" Link started talking with Butler while warming up.

Butler was very cautious, maybe it was related to his childhood experience.

A person usually has many dreams when he is 13 years old, but for Butler, the only thought in his mind at that time was to survive. When Ronda Butler stared at her son fiercely and pushed him out of the house, Jimmy Butler was destined to have a different life from other children.

"Well, practice shooting, Coach Elston said, my shooting was not good enough. He said, when you first entered the league, the shooting was much better than me." Butler curled his lips and continued practicing.

"Hahahaha, everyone is good at different fields, Jimmy. It's like, I can't do violent dunks like you."

"But, you obviously dunked Kenyon Martin last season." Jimmy Butler answered straight, obviously not a joker.

"Uh, you watched my game last season?" Link was a little flattered.

"How to say, all rookies like us who have low predictions like to watch your game. You are our spiritual pillar. When we see you succeed in the NBA, we will tell ourselves that the low pick or even lose the election is nothing. As long as we work hard like Link, we can also get opportunities. So, yes, I have watched a lot of your games. Many unknown players like me love to watch your games."

Link scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. It would have been forgotten that he would have influenced Rachel to hug basketball again. Link didn't expect that he would have affected so many players at the same time.

"Actually, you should start with defense." Link walked to Butler. Since it has affected, let's affect it to the end!

"ah?"

"Hungry offense takes time, but defense is in the moment. Even during training, you have to take out your ruthlessness in NCAA. Do you know why I can survive in the Grizzlies? Because I also treat training as a formal game! Show your enthusiasm and let the coach see your value. As for offense, you can take it slowly. Now, come and guard me and do your best."

Jimmy Butler was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms. He was very happy that Link could come to help him. The former spiritual pillar was now in front of him to guide him. How could he be unhappy!

But this guy never likes to put thanks on his mouth

Link regretted it because he forgot that he is playing the second position now. To play the second position, he often has to play against Tony Allen and Jimmy Butler during training.

A teacher Tony is hard to deal with. Now, Link has created a fierce butler who is defending himself.

When he received basketball again in confrontational training and encountered Jimmy Butler's close tightness, Linksen had no hope.

Sure enough, you won’t die if you don’t commit suicide.

"Jimmy, actually"

"I know, I will do my best!" Butler responded toughly before Link finished speaking.

Link was speechless, he was so tough now.

"Jimmy's defense is very active, you're right. He's really like Tony Allen in some aspects." Off the court, Grizzlies' assistant coach Elston Turner touched his chin. At the beginning, he hoped to develop Jimmy Butler's offense as much as possible.

But now he thinks that perhaps it is a good choice to cultivate that kid's defense first.

"Yes, at least he is more suitable for our system than Mayo. In the future, let him face Link's position. Because only by facing the best offense can you practice the best defense." Hollins, a defensive maniac, was naturally very happy to see Butler like this.

So he and Turner hit it off and determined the development direction of Jimmy Butler.

If Link knew that he had been arranged clearly now, he would probably be crying and crying. Every day, he would train to face Jimmy Butler and Teacher Tony's "castings" with continuous "care" by teachers, Tony, is enough just thinking about it.

Hollins said it well, only by facing the best offense can one practice the best defense.
