One Thousand Three Hundred and Three: Words that I Have Been Holding Back for a Long Time

Zion missed Link's dunk, and the fierce collision shocked everyone present.

Link and Zion Williamson simply started the most simple and brutal physical duel.

There are no fancy tricks or complicated tactics.

What the two staged was the purest strength and high-level confrontation.

They were like two angry bulls whose only purpose was to knock each other to the ground.

Whoever can overpower the opponent is the winner, whoever can jump higher is the winner.

This kind of showdown makes fans excited. Why are most of the sports that are popular around the world confrontational sports?

It is because the most direct and fierce physical collision between athletes on the court can stimulate the fans' nerves the most.

Why is it that today’s games are generally considered less beautiful than those of the 1990s and early 2000s?

Because the physical confrontation in this era is far less intense than before.

Fierce confrontation is what fans love most.

Gorgeous skills and complex tactics are certainly exciting, but compared to those, most people would rather see a simple and crude dunk.

And today, Link and Zion brought such a purely physical duel to the fans.

The two of them are simply challenging each other's limits.

Collision and confrontation again and again, the fierce battle will not stop until one party falls.

Zion slowly climbed back up. In high school and the NCAA, his body was almost invincible.

Recently, a video of Zion in high school has been widely circulated on the Internet. In the video, the high school player guarding Zion only reaches his chest and is also very thin.

Obviously, it is impossible for a child like that to stop Zion.

After entering the NCAA, although there will not be such a disparity in matchups, Zion's body is still unmatched.

If anyone dares to stop him in the air, Zion will definitely humiliate his opponent.

This was the first time that Zion was so embarrassed in an aerial duel.

He didn't know how Link stopped him, but he probably knew why LeBron James was suppressed so miserably by Link.

There's a reason why James never held a cup over Link's head.

The shocking aerial duel between the two shocked everyone, but the person involved, Link, was very calm.

Although he was really struggling just now, he didn't want to show such emotions on his face.

Link must hold it!

On the basketball court, your opponent will always know your emotions at this time.

Don't let him know if you're happy, scared, or hesitant.

It's like if someone is nervous or timid in front of Link, he will be greeted with a more intense trash talk attack.

As a master of psychological warfare, Link naturally knows how to hide his emotions.

No matter what, you must hold on!

Zion climbed up from the ground. He knew that he had just fallen into the Grizzlies' defensive trap. That guy Jermichael Green deliberately led him towards Link.

But before Zion can confirm his idea, the Pelicans must also withstand this wave of Grizzlies offense on the defensive end.

Although from the beginning of the game to now, they have barely withstood...

Although the Pelicans successfully defended the Grizzlies in the last round, Link did not hold the ball at that time.

This time, Link obviously didn't want to be so gentle anymore. Perhaps the two confrontations just now made Link's adrenaline soar.

So just after the half of this round, Link took the initiative to raise his hand to ask for the ball.

Ingram feels so miserable.

Even if he hasn't scored a single point today, he still has to be tortured by Link on the defensive end.

Sure enough, being the core of the team is not that easy.

This time Link signaled everyone to pull away. After successfully beating Zion alone in the first quarter, Link wanted to single out Ingram again.

As soon as the lineup was opened, Link suddenly pulled to the left side of his crotch, tilting his entire center of gravity to the left, preparing to break through.

But just as Ingram slid over to block, Link immediately changed the ball to his right hand.

KillerCrossover!

Link's beautiful dazzling moves directly allowed him to surpass Ingram instantly.

Although Ingram's arms are extremely long, it is of no help in front of Link's beautiful change of direction.

He passed Ingram clean.

At this time, the lineup has been completely stretched, and Link is basically going straight to Huanglong.

If no one is on defense, Link can just dunk the ball and it's over.

Therefore, Zion Williamson abandoned his matchup and rushed towards the basket!

Although his doing so may give Green a chance to shoot a three-pointer, instead of letting Link dunk an empty basket, it is better to choose to give Green a three-pointer.

After all, you may not be able to make an open three-pointer, but you will almost certainly make a dunk.

Therefore, when you have to leave someone open, you will usually choose to defend the person who is attacking the basket.

Of course, the Warriors' historic dunk leader Golden State LaVine is an exception. That player is the only player in the league whose open three-pointers are more accurate than dunks.

Zion was attacking Link like an out-of-control locomotive, and it looked like the two sides were preparing to start a showdown in the air again.

They haven't fought enough!

Since Link had completely thrown away Ingram, he rushed very fast and had full impact.

You know, Link is the kind of player who doesn't need the speed-up process at all.

Seeing the two "perverts" running at high speed about to meet again, many people even held their breath in advance.

As he approached the basket, Link rose from the ground!

With the bonus of inertia, Link's bullet speed is even more abnormal than before.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Link reached the highest point.

What about Zion? He felt like he had just flown into the air when he was completely covered by Link!

Zion didn't even have time to reach out before he collided with Link.

Just like before, Link's forward body suddenly stopped. But the difference is that Link swung his arm to hit the frame through Zion and successfully dunked the ball in.

Zion, the second-heaviest player in the league, fell off the baseline because of Link's collision!

"Worst!" Alvin Gentry stood up with his eyes widened. What did he just see?

Link actually dunked Zion Williamson, a 129-kilogram monster with abnormal bullet speed, in the air!

How can this be!

That’s a solid 129 kilograms!

O'Neal was only 125 kilograms when he first entered the league. Grizzlies legend Randolph looked very fat, but he was only 117 kilograms when healthy.

"Big Baby" Glenn Davis, who was as fat as a ball of meat back then, was only two kilograms heavier than Zion. But after all, Davis is 2.06 meters tall!

Zion's weight of 129 kilograms makes him completely like a mountain of meat. No one can compete with him head-on.

On the first day of trial training with the Pelicans, Zion was beaten to a pulp by his teammates.

It's scary to think about a player who can adapt to the intensity of NBA games without having experienced professional basketball.

But Link not only resisted, but also directly knocked down the "mountain" of Zion.

Gentry had goosebumps all over his body, maybe this was the "divine power".

He truly deserves to be the basketball god of the 10s!

Link became the first person to dunk on Zion's head. Zion was completely stunned. He really didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

One day, I will also be dunked? Zion sat on the ground, his eyes dull.

After the buckle, Link walked up to Zion lying on the ground with a friendly smile on his face.

Do you think Link is going to take the initiative to pull Zion up?

of course not.

Link just had something he had been holding back for a long time and wanted to say to Zion.

"Welcome to the NBA, man. Enjoy it, you have a long career ahead of you. And of course, there's a long time left in this game."

After Link finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Today, he taught the league's top pick a good lesson.

At this time, the little blood left in Zion Williamson's heart has been extinguished.

Link let Zion know that the things he was proud of were nothing more than that in front of him.

When he first entered the league, Zion heard a saying: "You can't truly enter the NBA until you play against Link."

At that time, Zion didn't care about this statement. But now, he understands it deeply.

Only Link can let rookie players know what true cruelty is.

The point difference became 12 points, and both Zion and Ingram had been knocked out of their minds by Link. .

Next, it’s time to easily gain the 26th consecutive victory!

The second longest winning streak in history, Link is at it again.
