Two Hundred and Ninety-Eight: Unless, He Is Irritated
Link's one-handed dunk seems to have completely split the beastliness of the Grizzlies players. After the first quarter, the Grizzlies played quite aggressively. Although the others are not strong in scoring, they used defense to slow down the Lakers.
After the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled to a 24 tie! Link scored 4 of 5 and scored 10 points in a single quarter! Almost half of the Grizzlies' points in the first quarter were scored by Link. He perfectly solved the Grizzlies' offensive problems without being overwhelmed by Gay's absence.
Not to be outdone, Kobe scored 8 points on 3-for-4 in the first quarter, beating Tony Allen to the point where he shook his head.
Although Link and Kobe are not facing each other, they have been secretly competing. Especially Kobe, as long as Link scores a goal, he must return one. If Kobe didn't play as long as Link in the first quarter, it is estimated that Kobe could score more than ten points in a single quarter.
During the intermission, Kobe walked up to the guy before coach Mike Brown could speak, "In the second quarter, I'm going to defend Link, and you send someone else to defend the Grizzlies at the 2nd position. "
Mike Brown was stunned all of a sudden, he felt as if he had become a player, and Kobe had instead become a head coach in a suit and leather shoes.
"Oh... oh..." Brown nodded, being a coach by James' side and Kobe's side is simply sinful!
However, both of these men, Brown, have coached...
After Kobe finished speaking, he sat aside to rest, absent-mindedly listening to Mike Brown's tactics.
Now, his mind is full of Link. In the first quarter, the Lakers couldn't contain the guy with Barnes + Artest.
Both Barnes and Artest are fierce, but Link doesn't seem to be afraid of this fierce defender.
Then in the second quarter, Kobe decided to play technical defense with Link!
On the other side of the Grizzlies bench, Hollins arranged a lot of pick-and-roll tactics for Link. Link's shooting efficiency after breaking out of the pick-and-roll is very high, which is unmatched by Gay, who is obsessed with mid-range pull-ups.
Hollins decided to make full use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, allowing Linkedo to use the cover to shoot from the middle distance.
Seeing that all the offensive tactics are serving him, and seeing the coach specially arrange tactics according to his own strengths, Link finds it incredible.
Before, it was Link who had to adapt to the Grizzlies. And now, what Hollins is doing is to let the Grizzlies adapt to Link!
"You did a good job in the first quarter. I believe you can keep going. Score as much as you want. No one will restrict you today." After Hollins finished speaking, the buzzer also made a loud noise.
It's cool to be the big villain, but it's even more cool to be the main attacker in the big villain!
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead, and Link was about to tease Ci Shiping with words, but when he got close to the three-point line, Link realized that the defending man had become the frowning No. 24!
Link: "???"
"Bryant, you are guarding against the wrong person, I am in position three today."
"Shut up, bastard! You can beat me in the gym, but you can't beat me here!" Kobe said, pulling up his pant legs and lowering his center of gravity a little.
Link gasped, co-authoring with Kobe, he still remembered that he lost one point to himself in this year's All-Star training! This shit is terrible, does this guy play with his daughter with Barbie dolls better than anyone else with the prettiest hair...
Link didn't continue to play haha with Kobe. He cut into the penalty area and planned to layup directly after receiving a low pass from Gasol!
During this period, Kobe did not focus on hand-to-hand combat with Link like Barnes and Metta World Peace, but focused on basketball. Therefore, the moment Link received the basketball and took three steps, Kobe seized the opportunity and suddenly shot the basketball in Link's hand!
"Bryant cut off the basketball, and his timing was really precise! Link made his first turnover today, thanks to Kobe."
After Kobe stole the basketball, he didn't hand it to Sessions, but chose to control the ball and advance himself. Link hurried back to defend, the image of being cut by Kobe just now was still in his mind,
This time he was really targeted by Kobe.
Bryant beckoned to Bynum, saying he needed cover. Although Bynum is the starting center of the Western Conference star team this year, he has not drifted yet. In the Lakers, Kobe has always held him down.
Therefore, Bynum obediently mentioned the high position, and Kobe waited for an opportunity to break through.
Seeing this situation, Link immediately made up for the basket. Ci Shiping is speechless, is Lao Tzu so insignificant on the offensive end? Always gets thrown down.
Kobe goes to the basket, surrounded by Grizzlies. This is the defense that the scoring core encounters, but Kobe has long been accustomed to it.
With a light leap, he lifted the basketball. Link struggled to straighten his arm, hoping to save face with a block.
In the air, however, Kobe passed the ball through the cracks and into Bynum's hands. Although Kobe doesn't like to pass the ball, he has always played very well with the center forward. After all, it was O'Neal who partnered with him back then. Kobe developed early on the ability to feed the ball to the center in the middle of the crowd.
"My Cao?" After Link blocked Kobe's landing, he found himself standing in front of Bynum. After receiving the basketball, Bynum didn't hesitate, and directly ignored Link, who was standing in front of him, and dunked violently!
"Boom!" Link only heard a loud bang on the top of his head, and then he was hit hard. Link staggered back a few steps, and didn't stop until his back hit the cushion on the basketball hoop.
At that moment Link knew that he had become Bynum's background board!
"Beautiful! Bynum smashed the basketball into the hoop through Link! Kobe's pass was wonderful, and Bynum's subsequent dunk was even more brutal! Poor Link, his enthusiasm is good, Just bad luck."
It's really bad luck, Link was detained while lying down.
"Come on, do you think you can play well!? The core of scoring? What a joke!" After the dunk, Bynum was obviously excited and yelled at Link.
Bynum has never been a good person, it's still the same sentence, just because Kobe is pressing him.
Link didn't feel anything at first, but after being yelled at by Bynum, Link suddenly punched the cushion behind him.
The ball was cut by Kobe just now, and now it is dunked by Bynum, what the hell is going on!
Link gritted his teeth and ran to the frontcourt. At this time, his heart was extremely angry and aggrieved.
Grizzlies No. 0 has only one thought at this time, "Score, score, score, let you be beaten speechless!"
Kobe was right, Link generally doesn't show his desire to win.
Unless, he is irritated.
"Mike!"
Hearing Link yelling his name, Conley threw the ball to Link directly like a conditioned reflex. It's normal for the offensive core to charge the point guard for the ball.
But everyone frowned, because Link rarely yelled for the ball like this.
"What? Angry?" Kobe also became more serious, and he found that there was something wrong with Link's eyes.
Link didn't argue with Kobe this time. After getting the ball, Link leaned his back directly against Kobe's chest.
The audience exclaimed, Link wants to hit Kobe with a post-up single? Use Kobe's tricks to deal with Kobe! ?
This guy is crazy!
"Cut!" Kobe's expression also became ferocious. When the opponent uses your moves to attack, this can be regarded as a provocative act!
But Kobe is not afraid. Link's footsteps are all taught by him. There is no reason why a master is afraid of an apprentice.
However, Kobe didn't know that Link's footsteps had already become his own. After all, he also possesses the power of Grant Hill.
Link pushed his back to the free throw line, and every time he collided with Kobe, sparks seemed to be sparked. Hollins was on the sidelines and could clearly hear the muffled sound of the two muscles colliding.
But even so, neither Link nor Bryant held back from anyone.
Everyone held their breath, maybe even Kobe didn't expect Link to be so bold. Link doesn't care so much, anyway, he can use this trick to score on Kobe's head in the training hall, so what is impossible in an official game?
Seeing that the position was almost the same, Link turned over and shot a jumper! Kobe didn't expect Link to make such a decisive shot. He thought Link would shake his shoulders first, or turn around and make a fake shot.
But there was nothing, Link turned around and shot!
Kobe hurriedly took a step forward to block, but Link leaned back at a large angle, and Kobe couldn't reach the ball at all!
"Damn it, last time he didn't have such a big backward angle!" Kobe secretly sighed in his heart. Link's biggest problem with post-ups in the past was actually that the backward angle of the turn-over jump shot was not wide enough. A lot of his turnup jumpers don't even have a fadeaway.
But today, this movement, this angle of leaning back... Kobe couldn't believe that he had practiced to this extent!
No, maybe he has reached this level a long time ago, but he didn't have the opportunity to show it before... The outside players who can get the opportunity to play post-ups are usually the absolute core. Such as Kobe himself, such as Jordan back then, such as Anthony.
And now, Link is the absolute core.
The basketball fell over Kobe's palm and fell backwards. Kobe turned his head immediately, but saw the basketball going straight into the net in despair!
Link successfully scored on Kobe's head with a post-up single!
At that moment, the entire Grizzlies bench was waving towels like crazy. Jimmy Butler was often tortured by this trick on the training ground, and now, Link finally used this trick to torture others.
On the contrary, it was Link himself, who was not too excited after scoring the goal, but just raised his right fist vigorously, and then looked fierce. It's as if he didn't beat Kobe, but just a random shrimp soldier and crab general.
Looking at Link's expression, for a moment, about two or three seconds, Kobe felt as if he had returned to Chicago on the 17th.
On that day, an 18-year-old boy was only thinking about how to destroy his opponent, but he didn't care whether his opponent was a "god".
But today, Kobe seemed to see the figure of the No. 8 kid in Link...
