One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Three: 3 Points, Blocks, Steals, Dunks

As soon as Link stepped onto the court, he found Doncic leaning towards him.

"Is this the strongest Link in the league? Look at the big screen above your head." After Doncic approached Link, he actually spat trash talk at Link!

He asked Link to look at the big screen, saying that his performance in the first quarter completely blew Link away!

After saying that, Doncic stepped onto the court and prepared to defend.

If you think Doncic is really a good academic boy, you are totally wrong.

It's true that he doesn't like to talk trash, but that doesn't mean he doesn't.

In fact, Doncic has frequently trash-talked opponents and even rival fans on NBA courts.

Doncic is by no means a softie who allows others to bully him. If necessary, he will fight back with the strongest force.

Whether it's basketball or verbally.

If Green or Durant dare to talk trash to Link like this, Link guarantees that they will die, because that will make Link very angry.

But Doncic talked trash, but Link couldn't get angry.

On the contrary, he admired the boy a little.

Dare to challenge the number one player in the league, that’s a lot of talent!

Just like back then, Link, who was only a second-year rookie, would also trash-talk Kobe, James, Durant and others.

Link is now impressed by the handsome No. 77. It seems that he is more than just a funny guy who can stuff 100 selfies into his phone a minute.

Luka Doncic is really an opponent that needs to be taken seriously. Now, it's time for Link to pay his respects.

Although Doncic's trash talk didn't make Link angry, the result was the same.

He was dead.

The Grizzlies took the lead in the second quarter, and this time Conley quickly handed the ball to Link without any delay.

Conley is actually content. He has already had many opportunities to perform in the first quarter.

However, it turns out that Link really can’t handle Doncic if he doesn’t take action.

So now Link doesn't need to ask for the ball, Conley will take the initiative to give the ball to Link.

This is the NBA, perform when you have to perform. When it's time to let the star player take over the game, it's best not to interfere too much.

After being a green leaf by Link's side for so many years, Conley still has this awareness.

Seeing Link holding the ball, the cheers in the FedEx Arena immediately doubled in volume!

Doncic also looked around, this is Link's influence!

Dorian Finney-Smith calmly opened his arms. In his opinion, Link might pass the ball out quickly like he did in the first quarter.

However, he couldn't be more wrong.

After holding the ball, Link saw Finney-Smith standing too far back, so he made a pull-up jumper without warning!

Finney-Smith couldn't react at all, Link's shot was too sudden. The most important thing is that Link's bullet speed and shooting speed are also amazingly fast.

By the time he reacted and was going to block it, Link had already thrown the ball.

Just like that, Link hit a three-pointer steadily with almost no interference!

In the first round of the second quarter, Link tied the score with an effortless three-pointer.

"In, Link's second three-pointer of the game! I don't know what Luka and Link just said, but I guess Link didn't like to hear it. Doncic made a big mistake, he shouldn't have Provoke Link!"

Van Gundy was worried about Doncic. As long as Link wants to perform, it's never too late.

Doncic is also excited. This is the kind of matchup he wants.

This guy is not afraid, but is getting more and more excited.

After the Mavericks' attack, Doncic did not hold the ball, but got a chance by running away from Conley without the ball.

Doncic is certainly an excellent offensive player with the ball in his hands, but he is not the type who is completely at a loss without the ball in his hands.

Doncic's movement is very flexible, and a sudden change of direction while running without the ball will leave Conley one position away.

Hardaway Jr. delivered the ball to Doncic. At the same time, Porzingis pulled JaMychal Green outside the three-point line, and Powell also helped Doncic block Jokic.

What Doncic is facing now is equivalent to an empty basket!

He took two big steps after holding the ball, and then suddenly jumped up, seemingly trying to end the offense with a dunk.

But just when Doncic's arm began to exert force, he saw a shadow approaching quickly from the side out of his peripheral vision.

Link rushed over at some point and covered Doncic's entire body with a jumping height that overwhelmed his head!

In terms of athletic ability, Doncic is really like a younger brother to Link.

Doncic was about to change his dunk into a pass, and passed the ball to Finney-Smith, who was let go by Link.

However, before he could pass the ball, the ball was blown away by Link.

"To block the dunk, Link's defense was too quick. He destroyed Doncic's inevitable dunk!"

Van Gundy shouted, and sure enough, Link didn't let him go!

"Damn!" Doncic cursed secretly as he watched the basketball fly out of bounds.

Although the ball still belongs to the Mavericks, it is an indisputable fact that the offense failed.

"If you have the courage, if you work harder, you might be able to score." After finishing the shot, Link also "reciprocated" and spat trash talk at Doncic.

Doncic swallowed, Link's blocking was indeed terrifying!

His arm was already exerting force to dunk just now, and the force was very strong.

However, Link, who was stabbing at him diagonally, easily swatted the ball away under the force.

And that bounce just now. Doncic knows that his bounce is not top-notch, but he will not be directly covered by others in the air.

But Link did it.

Still at his age of almost 32 years old!

Doncic began to feel Link's terror, but he was not discouraged and prepared to make another attack to save face.

Porzingis held the ball on the sideline, and Doncic used the off-ball screen to get rid of Conley and stepped out of the three-point line to prepare to catch the ball.

Porzingis passed the ball just right, but just as he was about to catch the basketball, Link suddenly pounced.

That's right, he jumped out. He stood horizontally in the air, as if saving a throw-in, using this incredible method to steal the Mavericks' throw-in!

Looking at the entire league, the only players who can complete steals in this way are Link and Leonard.

Doncic was surprised and rushed towards Link, trying to get the ball back.

But Link, who had quick eyes and quick hands, threw himself on the ground and passed the ball to Conley before Doncic could pounce on him.

Afterwards, Link immediately broke free from under Doncic, then quickly got up and participated in the fast break.

Link's speed was not affected at all. He quickly rushed to the frontcourt and received Conley's pass!

When the Mavericks players discovered that Link, who had been throwing himself on the ground just now, had run up, Link had already entered the penalty area!

Doncic, who was just about to compete with Link for the floor ball, got up and looked back.

Just in time to see Link leap into the air ready for a dunk.

Doncic had to raise his head to look up at Link. The guy was so tall that it seemed he could never surpass him.

"boom!"

The next second, the basket of FedEx Arena made a loud noise.

He also fell to the ground to grab the ball, but just as Doncic stood up, Link had already run up and completed the dunk.

This is the difference between the two.

"Powell was very smart to avoid the tomahawk chop at the last moment. Otherwise, he would have been dunked miserably!"

Kevin Harlan stood up the moment Link dunked, and the FedEx Arena shook at that moment.

Link opened his hands and kept his center of gravity steady on the ground.

After turning back, Link was the first to point at Doncic.

With a three-pointer, a block, a steal and a dunk, Link officially responded to Doncic!

However, this is just a meeting ceremony, the game is still long, and the torture Doncic will suffer is far more than that.
