After Link woke up at home the next day, he realized that he had received many text messages from stars.

"Come on, you can see that you are a little depressed, but this is by no means the biggest difficulty you have ever encountered." From Jeremy Lin.

"If the warriors go to the battlefield, they will die sooner or later if they give up! Come on, play hard when they go back to home, I will support you!" from Paul George.

These two text messages were quite normal, but the following few messages were speechless.

"I'm afraid of a hairy hug. I was fucked. I was reversed when I led the Suns 3-1. Remember, don't panic when I was double-teamed by two people, just turn over and jump shot!" from Kobe Bryant.

"When the hell are you so gentle? Look at Durant's smug look at the camera with his nostrils, I'm damn. You elbow him, his nose is bleeding! Technical foul? Technical foul is nothing. As long as you are not banned, you are fouling! Make him afraid of you!" from Cousins

"The same sentence, young man, the future is yours." From Old Dengtou

Not only Dirk, basically, as long as he has a personal relationship, he will not give up easily.

It can be seen that people's expectations for Link are really high. This is somewhat beyond Link's expectations.

The media and fans outside Memphis basically think that Link is finished, but this group of people who play at Na are more optimistic about Link.

To put it bluntly, they used to be unpopular with Link, but they were all cleaned up and then they were optimistic about Link. They knew better than anyone else that Link was not so easy to defeat.

Although some of these text messages are serious and some are funny, to be honest, Link felt much better after reading them.

Link then got up in high spirits and turned on the TV to listen to sports news as usual.

Since Na has only two games in progress, one is Heat and the Celtics, one is Grizzlies and the Thunder. Therefore, Memphis City naturally has become a huge focus.

On TV, espn reporters were interviewing on the streets of Memphis, mainly interviewing some local fans and asking them how they view the current bad situation.

"We haven't lost at home in the playoffs this season! What do you think? We will get them in Memphis, don't worry!"

"Link is the fastest-progressive player this year, so after two games you will see his improvement!"

"The Grizzlies can always get everything done at home, and this time it's the same. Come on, the Grizzlies! We are not afraid of any enemies!"

On the TV, there were enthusiastic and still high morale fans. After watching it, Link felt more relieved.

Just for these fans and friends who are optimistic about you, you can’t give up first!

Although falling behind 2-0 is indeed very difficult, it is not the end of the world.

Thinking of this, Link turned off the TV and went out to the training hall.

It is useless to say more, and action is the most effective way!

At the same time, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is also worried. If you want to turn the tables 2-0, you can't suddenly become combat-ready just by shouting a few slogans.

On the tactical level, there must be adjustments.

And now, Hollins has a very difficult question at hand who should defend James Harden?

James Harden is the sixth man, which means he often plays off-peak when the Grizzlies' main players are resting. In this way, Pondsett is the one who faces Harden.

Although Pondsett is a good player, it is still a bit worse than Harden. Harden averaged 60 three-point shooting percentage in the first two games! This is the result of using Pondsett to defend Harden.

Jimmy Butler? No, Hollins can't send Butler to play at all. Na The playoffs is not a joke. Players will be caught and magnified if they have any shortcomings, so immature players and coaches dare not use them.

This is why most teams in the playoffs have short rotations. Because if the coach wants to reduce the shortcomings of his team, he can only use the most "economic" people.

Butler was exchanged for Mayo by the team, with the goal of cultivating the next Tony Allen. Hollins can see Butler's potential and he works very hard. But this year is not the time for him to perform.

Finally, Hollins and his assistant Elston Turner, look at me, I look at you.

There is only one candidate.

During afternoon training, Hollins and Turner found Link and said they were discussing some tactical changes with him.

It was so serious that Link thought Hollins wanted to re-attack with Randolph as the core of the offensive. As a result, Hollins just said, "I need to increase your playing time."

"Ah? This is a good thing. I definitely agree, there is no need to discuss it." Link agreed readily. Isn't it just a few more minutes? The greatest talent of this body itself is good physical fitness.

"No, you don't understand yet. This is not as simple as playing for a few more minutes. We need someone to take care of James Harden at any time, so as long as Harden is present, you have to play. Of course, Tony can also defend Harden, but he cannot continue our firepower. So, you are the only candidate. In this case, you must also ensure that you have sufficient physical strength to play the key ball at critical moments. I think you can also see that the winner and lose in these two games. Sometimes you can win if you can't grasp it, and you can't control it. So, you have to be mentally prepared. This is not an easy job."

Hollins knew that this might be a bit too serious for a sophomore player. But there was no way, this was the playoffs. What is the playoffs? Force a player to have a better self!

Those players who play better after the playoffs are forced out.

Now the Grizzlies are obviously unable to deal with the Thunder as usual, so someone can only stand up and break the rules.

Link put away his hippie smiley expression and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Leon, I'm ready at any time."

The dual test of physical fitness and psychology? It sounds quite harsh. But if you don’t sacrifice, how can you survive the scoring champion?

If you don’t sacrifice, what to say about defending the home court!

The playoff unbeaten record is everyone proud of this record. Link didn't want to watch Durant standing on the floor of the Federal Express Arena and said arrogantly, "It's not difficult to win here."

In order to preserve the strength of the next day's competition, Link did not make any more intense training in the afternoon. When the media was opened, the reporters entered the training hall and found that the others were sweating profusely.

Only Link, holding a thermos, sat on a chair, crossing his legs.

If I don’t know, I thought it was the old man who guarded the gate of the training hall!

The reporters looked surprised. What is this? They gave up treatment directly?

Faced with the surprised expressions of the reporters and the microphones that were only left to be stuffed into their mouths, Link looked calm, "Don't panic, there are more than 20 hours left before the start of the game. The most important thing now is to enjoy the peace of this moment."

Link made the image of "Glycebe berry boy" appear in the league n years ahead of schedule.

But Link knew very well that the greatest charm of "Gone with Wolfberry Boy" is that as long as he wanted, he could put down the thermos and show it! What people questioned was the attitude of "Gone with Wolfberry Boy", not ability!
