Lionel Hollins, a former NBA player and one of the most famous defensive barriers in NBA history, has a deep insight into regional oppression.

As a player, he won the championship with the Blazers in 77 years, and was selected into the best defensive lineup in 77 and 78 years.

Now, Lionel Hollins is coach of the Memphis Grizzlies.

In fact, Lionel Hollins's coaching career began in 1999. But at the beginning, Hollins' coaching career was not smooth. It was not until the Grizzlies hired Hollins as coach again in 2008-09 season that he really established himself as head coach in NBA. And in the past three years, the Grizzlies' record has soared.

The arrival of Lionel Hollins laid a foundation for the way the Memphis Grizzlies play - defense first.

When it comes to Memphis Grizzlies, the first thing people think about is the defense that can't be defeated. The Grizzlies are in a double position from the Grizzlies.

In today's era of more and more offensive rounds and faster attack speed, Lionel Hollins' grizzly bear is undoubtedly going further and further on a unique road.

Hollins likes to defend, which is a well-known thing. No matter what kind of player you have, as long as the defense is good, you can get a chance in the Grizzlies. Just look at how well Tony Allen, who can hardly shoot, gets along in Memphis, and you can see how unique Hollins appreciates players.

That's why Lionel Hollins has recently taken a fancy to the highly hyped Chinese American. The 2.03-meter-tall, slightly emaciated striker is the kind of player Hollins needs.

People may only see link's 52 th night, but ignore the fact that he never let his counterpart get high marks in the Development League. Whether it's Luke Babbitt, Lance Stephenson or demare Carroll, they're all overshadowed by link.

Even in the three games of the Rockets, link's defensive performance in limited time was very good. In fact, that's why Grizzlies are interested.

As a quasi 3D player, nothing is more suitable for Grizzlies. Originally, the Grizzlies were going to trade their old star Sean Battier back. But link is younger than Battier and can get him at no price.

Why not do such a business?

So this afternoon, in the training hall, Lionel Hollins saw his new player, link, who dominated the Development League in just three games.

"Link, I'm glad to see you reporting so soon. I'm Lionel Hollins, grizzlies coach Hollins shook link's hand politely, which flattered him.

Because he went to the rockets on the first day, Adelman did not even look at him.

"Hello, sir. I'm glad to have the opportunity to train here." Link also politely shook hands with Hollins. "When do we start?"

Link, of course, is very positive. He wants to play earlier than anyone else.

"Start? Start what? Is confrontation training? Ha ha ha ha ha. Don't worry, link. You don't know anything about Grizzlies' tactics. After you get familiar with our game and what you need to do, you can start to practice with the team. But I believe, with your basketball accomplishment, these should be no problem

Hollins patted link on the shoulder, and four years in college wasn't all bad. In the past four years, NCAA has definitely cultivated link's basic basketball quality very solidly. It should not be difficult for a senior to adapt to tactics or something.

"I'll try, Mr. Lionel Hollins."

"Ha ha ha ha ha, you don't have to call me, sir. I'm the team coach, you're the team player. We need effective communication, not superfluous etiquette, understand? " Hollins smiles. Is every Chinese American player so polite?

"I see, coach."

"Well, that's right. Warm up. I'll have Turner explain the tactics to you this afternoon. At that time, you may need to get on the court and try to run. Don't worry. I'll allow you to make mistakes now. Also, your teammates are very gentle. So let's go. "

With that, Hollins went back to his office. Link stayed where he was and scratched his head.

The Grizzlies' teammates are very gentle? Do you think I haven't seen the NBA...

at two o'clock in the afternoon, link's most worried moment finally comes. The Grizzlies' afternoon training officially begins, which means that the Grizzlies' players should be admitted one by one.

And link is the most special presence in this training ground.

The first to enter the training hall is Mike Conley, who has become the Grizzlies' home point guard since he was only in the fourth grade. Although he has a clear mind and deep feelings for the Grizzlies, he is not a person who can express warmth on his face."Hello." After Conley found link, he just said hello to him and warmed up as if link didn't exist at all.

The second came in, mark Gasol, a European fortress that was once too fat to be a professional but now extremely capable.

Gasol's personality is more cheerful than his brother Paul, but in the face of unfamiliar people, as a European player, Xiao Suo is not very enthusiastic. The Spanish center simply nodded to link, even if he had said hello.

The third person to step on the court is Tony Allen, the most enthusiastic of the three. As soon as he came in, he was surprised to walk up to link. "Are you really here?"!? Ha ha, I didn't expect that Wallace guy really took you to Memphis! Hey, you know what? This guy just got 52 points in the Development League a few days ago! You're great, man. I'm sorry about Zick. Hey, show up. You'll love Memphis, believe me. "

Tony Allen's enthusiasm is what link didn't expect. As a fan in his previous life, he only knew that Tony Allen was a big defensive barrier, a defensive player who made LeBron James a great headache.

I just didn't expect that the tough guy was so easygoing in private.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Tony. I'll do it."

Link laughs awkwardly. He is really unable to learn the self-made character of black man.

After that, the Grizzlies came one after another. Some of them say hello to link, others ignore him directly. O.J. Mayo, on the other hand, looks at his new teammates with a very haughty look.

In addition, the Grizzlies substitute No. 3 Sam. Yang looked at link with some anger in his eyes. After all, everyone knows that if Sam Yang does well, the Grizzlies won't need to recruit link. Link is here to compete with Sam young. It's strange that the competitors can talk with each other in a friendly way.

As time went on, more and more people were in the training hall. Link gradually began to feel nervous because one of the Grizzlies' most "bears" hasn't appeared yet.

"Bang!" At this time, the door of the training hall was pushed open, a "meat mountain" came into the training hall, and waved to everyone, "good afternoon, everyone."

Link looked at the black version of Joan Brockman and swallowed.

Zac Randolph, the mildest member of the Grizzlies, is here!

When link stares at Randolph, Randolph just turns his eyes. They looked at each other, and then Randolph came to link with a smile of evil charm.

"You're link? The guy who set a single game scoring record in the Development League? " Randolph asked as he approached.

"Hello, Zach."

"Our team doesn't need soft guys, so if you want to stay, you'd better be tough on the training ground. Memphis team training, not like the development of the league, ha ha ha ha ha Randolph began to laugh, and so did Sam young.

"I know better than you how to play tough games, Zach. I've seen too many big men like you. You've got a guy in the big league who's threatening me Little did not know, link but strongly responded to Randolph.

"And the result?" Randolph was close to link. He thought the new man would be too scared to speak. But now, he has to admit that he likes this yellow guy a bit.

The Grizzlies need this kind of courage.

"As a result, you'll soon know."

"Oh Hearing link's response, the Grizzlies around the crowd were making a lot of noise.

Randolph also laughed. He grabbed link's shoulder and said to himself, "I expect you to let me know the result, boy."

When Randolph left, link let out a big breath. It seems that we have to deal with different people in different ways.

Conley and Pau Gasol, Mayo, Tony Allen, Sam young and Randolph are just like Memphis. The Grizzlies are just like Memphis. They are a chaotic place where all kinds of third rate and nine religions converge.

But for his first training, link is more and more looking forward to. This special group is actually quite interesting.
