Six Hundred and Thirty-Six: The Champion Was Undrafted and Learned a Lesson

At the end of the game, the atmosphere in the FedEx Arena has gradually cooled down, and it is far less enthusiastic than at the beginning of the game.

Link sat on the bench, leaning back on the chair relaxedly. He really can't understand why the Pelicans can win so much attention.

They are not difficult to deal with!

Anthony Davis was panting inside, ready to help. But he is now quite low in terms of physical fitness and morale. The past three quarters have been almost torture for him.

Between the lights and flint, Mike Conley entered the restricted area and made a quick layup. If it were the first quarter, Davis would definitely do everything in his power to block Conley and let the Grizzlies know that he's not a jerk. But for now, Davis is only doing a ceremonial jump.

He doesn't want to work so hard anymore, even if the ball is blocked, what can he do? This game has already been decided.

"Conley made a layup, and Anthony Davis seems to be a lot slower than before. The game is over with 1 minute and 25 seconds, and the New Orleans Pelicans... 16 points behind!"

16 points, 1 minute and a half. For the Pelicans, that's an almost insurmountable gap.

Since Link started to face Davis in the second quarter, the Pelicans have been under pressure. Link used his superb defensive skills and all-around skills, and the young Davis couldn't find the North. The point difference was widening, and the Pelicans were powerless to catch up.

When the magical aura of the Pelicans faded, it was discovered that the team was actually not that scary. Peeling off the appearance of three-game winning streak and defeating the Heat, panic, poor tactical execution, poor offensive stability, etc. Almost every young team has the problems, and the Pelicans also have them.

Under the Grizzlies, the Pelicans have an unblemished feel.

Monty Williams called a timeout again, and .T was finally able to play the stats comparison between Link and Davis today under the TV.

Link's performance in the first quarter of today's game was mediocre and very transparent. But from the second quarter, the score began to skyrocket. Davis was just the opposite. In the first quarter, he scored 8 points in a single quarter, and he played very lively. But after the next three verses, it's hard to say.

27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, this is Link's data. 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. This is the data of Anthony Davis.

At first glance, Anthony Davis' numbers are incredible. Not to mention quasi-20+10, he also scored 3 steals and 3 blocks, which is simply omnipotent!

But Davis has hit only 5 of 14 shots and a 35.7% hit rate, which is really hot. And as many as 4 mistakes, also highlighted his embarrassment.

To put it bluntly, Davis's points in the last three quarters are basically obtained by free throws. Under Link's defense, he didn't have a few serious sports goals.

Davis' efficiency makes his ostensibly excellent numbers worthless. What's more, the Pelicans are still in a backward position, which makes Davis' performance less commendable.

The superstar who defeated LeBron James didn't taste any sweetness on Link's head.

After returning from the timeout, Link was still sitting on the bench. Dave. Jogel is very confident, he believes, this game has entered garbage time. There is no coach who will send his own star to play in garbage time.

Sure enough, in the last minute and a half, the Pelicans, who had been beaten long ago, did not organize any threatening offense at all. Anthony Davis didn't have any other stats other than grabbing an extra rebound.

Relying on the outstanding performance of Gordon, Holiday and Evans, the Pelicans finally scored 99 points under the tight defense of the Grizzlies.

But the Grizzlies' 113 points sentenced the Pelicans to death.

113 to 99, the Pelicans' three-game winning streak was ended, and the magical halo of Anthony Davis was extinguished! The Memphis Grizzlies continue to remain unbeaten!

"ended,

The Grizzlies won by near miss. Although something went wrong in the first quarter, the Grizzlies completely controlled the rhythm of the game in the next three quarters. Link's performance was very good. In the face of Anthony Davis, who was five centimeters taller than him, he did not lose at all! "

"Davis is still too young, of course, Link is also young, but Davis is more immature than Link."

After the game, Link received unanimous praise from everyone. Judging from the performance of this game, the gap between Link and Davis is huge.

Charles Barkley said bluntly, "It was a mistake to compare Link and Davis at the beginning. Link is the defending champion, and Davis has never even tasted the playoffs. . The confrontation between these two people will not have any suspense."

James, who is sitting at home watching this game, is embarrassed by cancer. Now, the harder people praise Link, the worse James feels that he has fallen!

After the game, Link was interviewed by .T courtside reporters. When asked "how does it feel to beat Anthony Davis", Link just waved his hand.

"To be honest, it doesn't feel special. I already said I would beat him, but no one believed it at the time."

Link's contemptuous expression made those fans who already hated him hate him even more.

Why is this guy so bad! ?

On the other hand, Anthony Davis has also become a favorite of reporters. But compared with the scenery of the previous three games, Davis' situation today is a little embarrassing.

"Davis, can you evaluate Link's defense? He almost stagnated your offense in the next three quarters. Do you think this is a reflection of the huge gap between you and Link?"

"What did Link say to you on the court? Did his trash talk affect your performance?"

"AD, who do you think is more difficult to deal with Link or LeBron? Did you feel disappointed in losing to Link?"

Facing the reporters' pressing questions, Davis couldn't answer a word.

Disappointed? Of course disappointed. But what disappointed him was not the result, but the process.

If he and Link played 5-5 today and the Pelicans lost, Davis probably wouldn't be so disappointed. But throughout the process, Davis felt crushed!

On the defensive end, Link followed him like a shadow. As long as there is a slight slack in yourself, mistakes will occur.

On the offensive end, Link is an all-around warrior. Even after playing against James, Davis still sighed today, "How can a player be so comprehensive!"

In the last game, Davis only played a few rounds with James, which made him think he had the strength to play against the superstar.

But today, after facing Link for three quarters, Davis put down this unrealistic fantasy.

In front of Link, he was not a threat at all. What a talented No. 1 pick... In front of Link, the undrafted, he is worthless!

At the post-match press conference, Anthony Davis was still pestered to ask all kinds of questions about Link.

No way, this is the price of losing and gaining popularity. Before the game, the game was so hot. After the loss, Davis faced just how much criticism he faced.

"Link played really well today, really good, I've never played against such a tough opponent. He's at a disadvantage in height, but he's just going to do everything he can to keep me from scoring. , I can't do anything about him! As Link said before the game, I came to visit the championship pennant today, and then watched how the championship played. We still have a long way to go. Today's game, It has benefited me a lot.”

Davis was overwhelmed, and finally took the initiative to say such a show of weakness at the press conference. The smug gesture before the game disappeared in an instant.

The day after the game, Charles Barkley summed up Davis' remarks on his Twitter account.

"Davis' speech at the press conference yesterday translated as, I, Anthony Davis, one of the best players on the planet! As for Link? He doesn't belong on this planet at all!"

Barkley is playing a trick of his own. Once, he was beaten like this by others, and then he praised his opponent with the same words.

As for the guy who beat Barkley out of temper, his jersey is now hanging on the dome of the United Center.

Charles Barkley saw the shadow of that guy in Link.
