Dallas and Houston are both in Texas, so the two places are not very far apart.

It only took an hour to fly and the Grizzlies players arrived in Houston.

Although the distance is not far, back-to-back competition is still very tormenting.

Fortunately, the game with the Mavericks entered garbage time early tonight, and everyone's physical energy was not consumed much, otherwise Link would not have imagined how difficult it would be to play the Rockets tomorrow.

After entering the hotel, most players quickly rested and prepared for tomorrow's game.

However, before going to bed, Link looked at the phone and the reactions of people on the Internet.

Sure enough, no one thinks there is anything strange about this big victory over the Mavericks.

It is worth winning for the Grizzlies. If they lose or win particularly hard, then it is strange.

Everyone didn't mention the Grizzlies' big victory tonight, but focused their attention on the next game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.

Most people think that the next game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets will be a tug-of-war.

After all, both teams played very fiercely in the first three matches. Although the Grizzlies achieved a complete victory, the biggest difference was only 4 points.

Tomorrow's game will definitely be at this pace. Every collision between Harden and Link always sparks.

Link looked at the comments and guesses and turned off the screen of his phone.

Do you have to fight with the Rockets until the last moment? Who stipulates it?

Durant and Green must be looking forward to tomorrow's game now, looking forward to Harden standing up and revengeing his past shame.

Well, let’s let you down!

※※※

On March 4, the focus battle of this month finally took place at the Toyota Center.

Espn listed this game as a live broadcast in the United States, and everyone is looking forward to the fourth match between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.

The Rockets may be the team that has caused the most trouble for the Grizzlies this season, even more than the Warriors.

After all, the Grizzlies had another experience of defeating the Warriors. But facing the Rockets, the Grizzlies narrowly won three times.

Houston fans hope that the Rockets can win a game back, even if they only win once, they are satisfied.

While the players on both sides were still warming up, the fans began to shout wildly. espn also sent a combination of Mike Bryn and Mark Jackson to explain the fierce battle that people expected.

Judging from the atmosphere of the game, this game is destined to be not simple.

Everyone believes that they will witness a tense and exciting top showdown at the Toyota Center.

Soon, both sides also made their debut.

Because Wade's knee entered the "compulsive period", Jogel decided to let Josh Richardson replace the second position.

There was no major change on the Rockets, so the Five Tigers are still composed of Beverly, Harden, Ariza, Ryan Anderson and Capela.

Neither of the two sides hugged each other or greeted each other too much. They were already very familiar with each other and were full of hostility.

All the Rockets' members seemed to have a fire in their eyes, and they were eager to break the Grizzlies who had defeated them three times in a row.

If the Grizzlies had won three times, the Rockets might not have such a strong desire for revenge.

But being narrowly won by the opponent is sometimes even more unwilling than a big defeat.

Every time I almost won the game, no one would feel good. The Rockets players were holding on and they had to eat crabs anyway.

During the jump ball stage, Capela used her faster bounce speed to get the basketball.

Beverly slowly controlled the ball and passed the half and gestured to direct the attack.

Harden gradually took his place, waiting for Beverly's pass.

However, Harden suddenly realized that it was not Josh Richardson, the second position, who defended himself today, but Link!

"Link directly faced Harden as soon as the game started. This is something that has not happened in the three matches between the two sides. In the past few games, Link was on the fire from the beginning. I don't know that he wouldn't do this too today."

Mike Brynn frowned and Link came to defend Harden himself at the beginning. There was no doubt that this was a huge test for Link's physical fitness and energy.

In the previous three games, Link only played against Harden at the most critical moment. In previous games, Link had to focus more on offensive ends.

A person's physical strength and energy are really limited. It is impossible to have full firepower when it comes to the beginning and can still maintain it until the end.

But today, Link played the game as a critical moment as soon as he started, and it was indeed abnormal. Link had no reason to do so.

unless

Unless that guy wants to end the game early!

"Damn!" Mike Bryn's spine was cold. If his guess was correct, Link would be too bold!

It is understandable that the Grizzlies ended the Nuggets and Mavericks early. After all, these two teams are not considered strong opponents.

But ending the Rockets early is not something that can be done casually.

After receiving Beverly's pass, Harden immediately fell into Link's strict defense.

Link directly raised the intensity of the confrontation to the maximum as soon as he came up, which made Harden very uncomfortable.

The competition is usually progressive, but Link does not play according to the routine at all.

Harden couldn't get rid of Link's defense for the moment, so he handed the basketball to Ariza.

However, Ariza couldn't take much advantage in Josh Richardson's head. Richardson's height of 1.98 meters is enough to allow him to effectively defend the opponent's wing.

Why did Joggel choose to use Richardson instead of Wade? To put it bluntly, he is interested in his panacea attributes on the defensive end.

Link's attitude also affected his teammates, making Josh Richardson's defense also very tough.

Ariza is not a ball-holding attacker now, and when he encounters such a tight defense, he has to pass the ball again.

In the end, Beverly forced himself to pass the level with his tough confrontation, broke through Conley and threw the ball under Gasol's backup defense.

The basketball managed to cross Gasol's five fingers, but it hit the basket's neck because of excessive pursuit of arc.

But Beverly was not upset, because he had caught Gasol and made up for defense.

Even if this ball cannot be scored, Capela has the opportunity to make up for the dunk directly!

The moment the basketball hit the frame, the "Bai King" jumped high and prepared to press the basketball back into the frame.

Before his big hand touched the basketball, Capela found another arm in front of him, and later came from behind to capture the rebound in advance!

"Link's fight was very active. When Gasol failed to get stuck in the position due to restoring defense, Link rushed in to protect the rebound and did not give the Rockets a chance to attack a second time!"

Before Mike Bryn finished speaking, Link immediately started to fight back after grabbing the rebound.

He directly "started" and used only one step to pass Harden who had not yet reacted, and then used an easy change of direction to dodge Ariza.

Link was like a yellow lightning flashing through the frontcourt in an instant from the backcourt.

The game just started, and the Rockets didn't expect the game to become so intense. Therefore, their retreat speed this round was not very fast.

But Link doesn't care about these things, he will seize any opportunity to score, whether it is the first second or the last second of the game!

The Rockets' defense was like a piece of tissue, and Link broke a big hole with just a slight blow.

After throwing away all the Rockets' defensive players, Link rushed into the penalty area while riding thousands of places, scoring the ball in everyone's shocked eyes.

From grabbing defensive rebounds to completing a counter-dunk, it all happened only in the flash!

The Rockets players on the court looked at each other, as if they hadn't reacted to what had happened yet.

It was like a group of people running a marathon, but one of the contestants threw everyone behind at a speed of 100 meters!

This is indeed very unconventional.

After scoring the goal, Link was not complacent, but immediately called everyone to pay attention to returning to defense.

He didn't want to ease the game for a moment.

Now, Mike Brynn confirmed his guess.

That's right, Link never thought about fighting to the end. What that guy wanted was to end early!

The whole world thought this would be a fierce battle, and all fans believed that the scores of both sides would still be very close.

But it is obvious that Link doesn't want the team to fall into a tough battle. From beginning to end, all he wants is an early end.

But facing the powerful Rockets, can the Grizzlies really gain a huge advantage that can make the game into garbage time?
