Two Hundred and Forty-Nine: Cute and Charming Villains

Link went scoreless in the final two minutes of the game, but his performance still terrified Staples.

He defended Kobe, which is the most feared thing for Lakers fans.

He made 1 of 3 shots, failed to catch the ball several times, and was embarrassed every time he attacked... These pictures are deeply imprinted in the minds of Lakers fans. Kobe Bryant, who has always been able to end the game at critical moments. , today was stunned to be restricted.

But even so, the Lakers won't give up. They still trust Kobe, and in the last 23 seconds of offense, no one but Kobe can handle it.

"The Lakers now need a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime. We have witnessed countless classic performances of Kobe Bryant at Staples Center. In the 09-10 season, Kobe chose to drift long shots from two steps beyond the three-point line. The picture of winning the Heat on Wade's head must be deeply remembered by everyone now. In the 2006 playoffs, Kobe was wearing a white jersey to kill the Suns. Today, let's see if the Staples Center will Another classic moment!"

During the timeout, Staples fans were already restless. Although Link's previous defense was very ferocious, Lakers fans still believe that as long as there is Kobe, miracles will happen. The fans got up one after another, but no one left. For them, the climax of the game has yet to begin.

On the Grizzlies bench, Hollins didn't even have time to take out the small bench, so he knelt down on one knee in front of Link, writing and drawing.

The camera gave Kobe and Link a split-screen shot. Kobe on the left had a murderous look on his face, and he had maintained this expression all night.

Link on the right looked rather calm, and Hollins seemed more emotional than Link. So much so that people almost forgot that he was just a second-year player!

"Tony, you go to guard the last round too! If Link misses, I hope you make it up! Relax Link, I know this is Staples, I know Kobe has created countless miracles here. But you have to Tell yourself that Kobe's miracle day is not today!"

"It's not today!" Link nodded, all guarding against this, he couldn't give up all his efforts!

The Lakers need to win, and the Grizzlies need to win too. The Grizzlies started so well, with 5 wins and 2 losses, and they can only rank third in the Western Conference, which shows how fierce the competition is. In the West, competition isn't slowing down because of the shortened season.

The Grizzlies do their best to win every game.

The sound of the buzzer made all the players tense immediately.

Kobe threw the towel around his neck and stepped onto the court, like a boxer ready to KO the opponent.

Link looked at the restless Staples fans, who must have wanted to witness Kobe's heroic moment. But it is a pity that the Lakers encountered a big villain who will never compromise today.

not today!

"The game restarted, the last shot of the last round, and Kobe Bryant was carrying all the pressure. I'd love to say that in theory the Lakers wouldn't necessarily choose Kobe to shoot, but that's not realistic. Everybody knows, Kobe Bryant. The last shot will be fired!"

Link walked up to Kobe Bryant for the second time this season. The first time was against the Thunder, and the second time was today.

"Where are you going to shoot?" Link began to harass Kobe with words.

"Of course it's beyond the three-point line, and we're 3 points behind." Kobe responded calmly. Although he was answering Link, his attention was all on basketball at this time.

"Answer wrong and I'm not going to let you shoot anywhere, Kobe."

Somehow, Blake's pants beside them were wet again...

"Dudududu!" The referee blew the whistle as soon as the two had finished arguing, and the final round began!

Kobe Bryant broke through, ran near the midfield line, and received a pass from Pau Gasol.

Link pressed hard, but Kobe guarded the ball unhurriedly.

Bynum screened in place, the purpose is to force Link and Kobe to separate. Otherwise, keep pressing the state all the time, Kobe is not easy to use his fists.

The Lakers are now three points behind, so Bryant has no need to delay. He has to make the shot as soon as possible, so that even if the shot is missed, the Lakers still have the opportunity to send the opponent to the free throw line with a tactical foul.

For the first pick-and-roll, Link quickly squeezed past, and Kobe didn't gain space.

So Bynum set up a second screen for Kobe near the three-point line. This time, Kobe bypassed the pick-and-roll, and then jumped to stand outside the three-point line. This is the rhythm of shooting!

"Do you want to take a cover and shoot directly!?" Thompson stood up directly, ready to cheer with thousands of fans!

"Not today!" Link's process of squeezing through the pick-and-roll this time was not smooth. He was not a loach, and he could not slip past Bynum every time.

When Kobe made a jumper, Link had just come out to the side behind him. The best position to defend the opponent's shot is undoubtedly straight ahead.

But Link couldn't control it anymore, he stretched out his hand directly from the back side!

Kobe was about to shoot the ball when he found that the basketball was pushed out of the side by a force. Link and Kobe both had their hands on the ball. As soon as the two forces squeezed, the basketball flew straight into the air!

Kobe is covered!

The struggle was not over. Although Kobe's shot was blocked, after the basketball began to fall, Kobe and Link immediately fought for the ball again.

Link held Kobe Bryant with one hand, and immediately took off again. Kobe was so pressed that he couldn't jump, and now he just wanted to curse today's damn large-scale whistleblower!

"Link actually blocked Kobe's last shot! The basketball fell, Link actively grabbed the ball, he advanced quickly, and the Lakers retreated frantically, but Link was still not caught up!"

Link reacted completely instinctively. After blocking the shot, he grabbed the ball and pushed forward. He did not hesitate for half a second during this process.

When Link entered the penalty area, Matt Barnes also rushed over. Link jumped straight for a layup, but instead of hitting hard, he switched hands in the air, avoided the block, and pulled the bar to score a layup!

At that moment, the originally lively Staples was drowned out by a sigh. Link made a one-stop layup after blocking Kobe, and the Lakers were finished!

"It's over! It's over! Link's defense and fast break killed the game, and the Lakers had no chance! Link guarded Kobe Bryant 1-of-4 in the last moment, including the key shot just now! The legendary Kobe Bryant Ryant, the great Los Angeles Lakers, fell into the hands of a 'grassroots' today!"

Link rushed to his teammates after a successful layup. He knew what he had done. He completely ruined Kobe Bryant!

In the last 10.7 seconds, the Lakers lost 5 points without a timeout, which is an almost irreversible gap!

Link and his teammates hugged tightly, and they worked together to win another great victory!

A week ago, Link scored 40 points and a triple-double in front of the youngest MVP, Rose, and was completely popular in the United States.

Now, a week later, Link blocked a key shot from Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest guards, and succeeded on a counterattack to seal the victory.

People suddenly discovered that Link, the "big villain", was not only satisfied with winning games, he began to spoil the good things of these top stars!

The heroic moment of the stalwart can always be ruthlessly killed by Link.

But looking at Link, who was celebrating his victory with his teammates on the court, he seemed to be harmless again.

Thompson smiled, he was such a lovely and charming villain.

After 10 seconds, the Lakers started a tactical foul. But the Grizzlies' free throws did not fall off the chain. When Conley scored his 14th point in 2 of 2 free throws and widened the game's score difference to 7 points, the Los Angeles Lakers also completely declared their failure.

Kobe stood on the court at the Lakers logo with his hips on his shoulders. Reporters quickly gathered around and asked him what he thought of Link's performance in the final moments.

Kobe looked unhappy, but what he said surprised reporters.

"How Link didn't make the Western Conference All-Star team this year would be the biggest insult to me. I lost and I have nothing to say."

Maybe this is the so-called general's style? But for Link, that means his All-Star votes will start to grow wildly.
