366: Just to get things done

There were no audience, no live DJ, no music, the only thing that could be heard in the entire training hall was the "bang bang" sound of the collision between basketball and wooden floors and the shouts of the players when communicating on the court.

During the game stage, Anthony Davis successfully took the basketball from Cousins. Davis is still quite immature now, after all, he has not played a professional basketball game for a minute. But I have to say that this guy's physical talent is enough to be enviable.

The bounce and wingspan made Link's team drool.

Not to mention the top picks, Cousins, who was the highest in the ranking, did not enter the top three. Link and Jeremy Lin, who were the lowest in the ranking, were directly defeated. So in terms of talent alone, they are really incomparable to others.

Although the players of the Dream Team who did not have a game will conduct personal special training in another venue, after the game started, the big guys still sat on the sidelines and watched this interesting showdown.

The Manchester Giants have been dozing off these two days. Now that they have changed their opponents, everyone is naturally very interested.

Westbrook took the ball and walked outside the three-point line, and it was Jeremy Lin who defended him. The No. 0 defender did not make a breakthrough, but instead sought organization.

The players of the Dream Team shouted loudly on the court, like a well-trained group.

And Link and the others don’t even have a coach, so it’s no wonder that Lao K thinks it’s definitely okay to win the training match.

However, Westbrook made a mistake when he passed the ball for the first time. This defender who has always liked to rush in with the ball, was a rare one to organize an offense and was messed up.

Westbrook wants to pass the ball to Anthony who is out of pocket. Anthony will play in the fourth position more this year, so he needs to be more familiar with the sense of position.

As a result, Link quickly stretched out his arm and cut off the ball.

Link's team quickly organized a counterattack. This lineup was not like the Grizzlies who had to drag two big guys, black and white bears. All five of them could run, so the counterattack was very fast.

Link finally chose to hit the ground from a long distance and passed the ball to Jimmy Butler.

Who is Jimmy Butler? Basically no one knows the big guys of the Dream Team here. After all, this Grizzlies only averaged 8 minutes last season. They only played 31 times throughout the season, not once.

Butler is the most unfamiliar to Link's team.

However, after Butler received the basketball from the right horn, he actually made a three-pointer shot!

Iguodala did not block Butler's shot, but chose to defend himself. Little did he know that the guy who looked a bit like Jordan in front of him actually took action!

"Protect the rebound and hold on to people!" Coach K shouted off the court, and the members of the Dream Team all stuck their matches one by one, and then watched the basketball enter the net hollow.

Rebound? You don't give you a chance to grab rebounds at all.

"Good job, Jimmy, shoot beautifully! Just take action like this, you have to do it like this!" Link clapped his hands and encouraged Butler. His shouts were heard in the entire training hall.

The young Butler smiled slightly. This was the first time he showed up in front of these stars.

Old K shook his head. The guy named Jimmy Butler shot well for this ball. But in his opinion, the long-distance pass after Link steals is the sharp knife that really cuts the line of the Dream Team.

His organizational ability is as outstanding as ever. It is in sharp contrast to Westbrook, who just made a mistake in passing.

"Don't panic, don't panic, let's play slowly!" The Dream Team really didn't expect that Iguodala shouted, eager to stabilize the situation.

The empty basketball court heard the sound of basketball and the shouts of the players again. The Dream Team made a second attack, and James Harden singled Jimmy Butler after receiving the pass.

Harden made a very decisive breakthrough. The sixth man of the best last season could not be afraid of a little transparent who averaged only 8 minutes of playing time last season.

The bearded man was still thinking about whether he would directly hit the basket and make a foul later, or take a European step to avoid the defense and make a layup easily. But he had not made a decision yet, but found that the ball was gone.

"It's cut!?" Durant on the sidelines widened his eyes in surprise. Harden was actually stolen by the guy in the Grizzlies training suit!?

Butler quickly advanced after stealing, but fortunately Iguodala went up in time to force him to stop, which interrupted Link's counterattack.

The audience was staring at Jimmy Butler, and they had a question in their minds, "Where did this guy come out?"

"Don't panic, give Jeremy the ball!" Seeing Butler being forced to stop, Link shouted behind him again.

Butler obediently handed the ball to Jeremy Lin, and the Link team steadily turned into the position to attack.

Link was not surprised at Butler's steals. Although this guy didn't play much last season, he never stopped practicing defense with himself. Butler is already very outstanding, and after training this summer, his progress has been even greater.

Link believes that after next season, the whole league will know the name Jimmy Butler. Stevens is good at playing the characteristics of his players, and Butler will definitely benefit.

Jeremy Lin steadily controlled the ball from the outside. The Chinese defender who beat the Raptors last season and scored nearly 40 points on Kobe's head, has attracted much attention.

Link knew that Jeremy Lin had to hold the ball to play his advantage, so he didn't ask for the ball by himself just now, but asked Butler to give the ball to Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin first called for a cover, and Cousins ​​brought it to the wall. After breaking through, Jeremy Lin passed the ball to Link who cut into the penalty area.

Old K off the court frowned. What kind of defense does Anthony make Link easily walk to the basket. When the Dream Team plays against other teams, Anthony's defensive problems will not be exposed. But when they encounter high-level opponents, this disadvantage is quite obvious.

After Link received the basketball in the penalty area, the Dream Team generally contracted. Anthony Davis and Cameron Anthony both shrank to the basket and prepared for the Big Mao Link.

But Link calmly sent the ball out gently, and everyone's eyes moved with the basketball and finally set it outside the three-point line.

DeMarcus Cousins ​​is outside the three-point line and no one is on the guard!

"Oh no!" Anthony Davis rushed up directly when he saw this. Cousins ​​made a fake shot and made a move and pace. He easily flew Davis, and then broke through the ball and dribbled to the inside line and scored with one hand!

Cousins' dribbling speed is no slower than the forward line, and this Sacramento big guy showed his calmer side.

"Oh, it's still too young." Old K's brows became tighter and tighter. The opponent had already scored 5-0. If he didn't score a goal, it would be too embarrassing!

"Hehe, I knew you were there. You are so cruel today, DeMarcus." Link smiled and slapped Cousins ​​with a smile. Cousins ​​dunked the top scorer, and he felt even more proud.

The goal just now seemed to have regained his sense of accomplishment in last year's rookie match.

Becoming the focus among many superstars, Cousins ​​knew that just by following Link, he could do it!

Seeing Link calmly passing the ball on the court, directing the game, and communicating with his teammates, Kobe on the sidelines pouted and nodded in approval.

Did anyone else notice that he didn't know, but Kobe could see that Link was becoming more and more like a leader!

Butler is forced to stop, and he will stabilize the young people. Link also knows what each teammate is good at.

The Memphis Grizzlies next season are so scary!

With one goal after that, Westbrook broke through Jeremy Lin and killed the basket, but unexpectedly, Cousins ​​delayed it and the impact was forced to weaken. In the confrontation, Paul George took the opportunity to come from the side and complete the block!

George was tall and his arms were long and his athletic ability. This blocking made the audience exclaim.

Then, Jeremy Lin, who received the ball, quickly gave George a counterattack. Facing Anthony who was dislocating and replaced the ball in disarray, George suddenly pulled the ball out of control after dribbling under his crotch, and caught him off guard!

What's even more surprising is that George scored a goal with his pull-up shot! Last season, George averaged only 12.1 points per game, and only 9.7 points in the playoffs. In the Pacers, his positioning has always been a big shooter.

And now, George can do his best to shoot after he can do his job, and his ball-holding offense has made great progress!

Next season, it’s George’s third season. If Link remembers correctly, this guy should have risen.

"Hard! Be serious!" 7-0, Lao K couldn't stand it anymore. The trouble that Link brought to Dream Team was unexpectedly big.

What about finding confidence? If you continue to fight like this, it will be a blow to confidence.

Anthony finally received the ball this time and beat Link one-on-one. But Link refused to give in and bit Anthony tightly.

Anthony played with a single from behind, pushed to a close and then turned over and jumped.

But Link almost blocked it at the first time, and his defense was indecisive!

"Finished." James off the court muttered softly. Sure enough, the next second, Anthony's shooting missed regret!

Link personally grabbed the rebound and then personally held the ball and pushed it quickly. The Dream Team's defensive strategy is to block Link's passing route and then send Iguodala to prevent Link from breaking through.

Link likes passing or breaking through the ball when making a fast break, and cross-step mid-range shots are commonly used in positional battles.

Seeing that Iguodala let him go so far, Link suddenly retreated after one step into the three-point line!

"What!?" Iguodala was flashed again. He found that the people from Link's team today were inconsistent with the description in the information?

George was able to attack with the ball, Cousins ​​was no longer able to make three-pointers, Jimmy Butler became useful. Now, what trouble is Link going to do?

Is it a mid-range shot with a step back? No, Iguodala was horrified to find that Link was a three-pointer in a step back!

After practicing hard for so long, although it has not met expectations, it has been a first-hand effect. Link confidently used the movements he focused on in actual combat. He must combine practical combat and training, otherwise he will be done with one fight.

So Link bravely took a three-pointer in front of Iguodala.

Although Iguodala was half a beat slower, she was still blocked very hard, worthy of being one of the strongest defensive gates in the league. Unfortunately, the error of the half beat was enough for Link to complete the attack!

How could Link make such a move? In everyone's astonished eyes, the basketball drew a perfect arc and then fell into the net hollow.

With a three-pointer, Link ended the attack with one-stop!

After scoring the goal, Link applauded hard, and then asked his teammates to retreat quickly. The other four were obviously excited and ran back desperately.

10 to 0!

The corners of the old coach K's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He played j8! After practicing together for so long, he could not beat a temporary training team!

I have to say that Lao K underestimates the enemy too much. These guys with different vests are not here to train, but to defeat the Dream Team!

The main players of the Dream Team off the field were very surprised. The growth rate of these young people is really terrifying!

Especially Link, who is already omnipotent enough, can develop new tricks. Where is this guy’s upper limit?
