1228: Consecutive Mutual Bullying(1/2)
Anthony Davis' beautiful one-stop turn of the layup made the fans in the Staples Center excited.
Although they have been waiting for Davis for a long time, they have been waiting since the middle of last season until now.
However, it turns out that all the waiting is worth it.
Davis did not disappoint everyone's expectations. With him, the Lakers truly have the confidence to challenge the Grizzlies.
"Anthony Davis is definitely one of the most talented players among the active players, and he is less than 27 years old, and his peak period is still long! Davis has never posed such a great threat to Link, and today Link cannot be with Davis himself."
Mike Bryn still remembers that in the past, when the Grizzlies and the Pelicans fought, if Harrell and the others couldn't defend Davis, Link would take action himself.
But now it won't work. If Link goes to defend Davis, James will be liberated again.
Although James has entered a period of personal decline, there are still only a handful of players in this league that can really compete with him.
In the past, the Grizzlies could have sent Iguodala to fight with James. But now Iguodala is also very difficult to defend James.
It seems that the Grizzlies are in a dead end. Lakers fans probably can't wait to see a bloody massacre.
The Grizzlies attacked, this time, Conley quickly handed the ball to Link after halftime.
Link got the basketball on the right side of the court and waved his hand to his teammates.
Suddenly, the Lakers fans at the scene became nervous.
Link is going to play singles!
After Davis scored a great goal, Link wanted to respond immediately.
James and Link were one-on-one, which was a scene that was often performed in the finals that year.
But no matter how many times you have watched it, such a showdown will not make fans feel bored.
But James was surprised that Link was going to turn on the scoring mode so early.
It seems that the Lakers did put a lot of pressure on Link, which forced Link to take action himself.
Link doesn't want to let the Lakers find confidence as soon as they come up. If the Lakers play smoothly, the game will be really difficult.
So, after Anthony Davis made a beautiful block and made a one-stop layup, Link also had to respond to it to stabilize the situation.
At this time, you should be the star who comes forward to solve the problem!
Superstar players get so much more money than others every year, so they do this.
James was nervous, and he knew very well that he was at a disadvantage now. His body was no longer as fast and strong as he used to be.
Link made several three-threat moves, and James' center of gravity also swayed with Link's fake moves.
Just when people were speculating about what kind of action Link would use to pass James, he just accelerated and sprinted to James' right hand very simply and roughly.
In the past, Link would definitely be rudely intercepted by James. Using simple and crude methods to deal with James often does not work.
After all, James himself has done simplicity and rudeness to the extreme.
But this time, seeing Link accelerate, James felt it was very difficult to turn around and chase him.
His brain knew that he had to stop Link immediately and react immediately, but his body could not keep up!
It's like an old car, even if you step the accelerator into the fuel tank, you won't be able to beat Porsche.
James watched Link quickly pass by him, but his feet seemed to be filled with lead and could not lift them up.
The Lakers No. 23 opened their mouths wide, and Link was as fast as he had played in the Finals for the first time.
No, it seems to be faster!
In Link, you can't see the impact of age.
How did this guy do it?
The audience exclaimed, and no one could believe that LeBron James was actually passed by Link in one step.
He was selected into the best defensive team 6 times, of which 5 were the best defensive team.
LeBron James' defense has never been his fault.
However, it was such a defensive savage that everyone thought was easily thrown away by Link just one step.
James' state declined faster than people thought, while Link's state remained better than people thought.
Although he is in his thirties, Link is still the fastest player in the league's first step!
In the face of absolute speed advantage, any defensive skills are useless.
He easily threw away James, and Link made a mid-range jump shot.
Anthony Davis rushed forward, but Link's shot was very fast and did not give Davis the chance to interfere with the shooting.
On the surface, this is just an ordinary emergency stop jump shot.
But after this round, many Lakers fans were extremely heartbroken.
Now the gap between LeBron James and Link is getting bigger and bigger...
If you want to fall from the altar, James is called falling from the altar.
After scoring the goal, Link spread his hands towards James and Davis, saying that he made a very easy move.
He was telling Davis: "Put your unrealistic fantasy. You couldn't beat me before, and now you can't win."
As soon as the game started, the stars on both sides competed.
Then, Davis attacked with the ball again. Today, Davis had a very strong desire to attack.
He didn't want to continue being trampled by Link.
This time, Gasol Jr. did not let Davis make a layup easily, but gave him great interference.
But in the end, the action was too big and the referee called a defensive foul.
Davis stood on the free throw line, made both free throws, and continued to score!
Jogel on the sidelines gritted his teeth. The Grizzlies' fourth position was short of major general due to Green's injury today. If Gasol was troubled by foul again, he would be even more passive.
The other half, Lakers coach Frank Vogel had a confident smile on his face.
Indeed, in that round just now, Link had already let the whole world see how big the gap between James and him is now.
But that was LeBron James after all.
No matter how bad James is, he will never let Link continue to do whatever he wants.
As the greatest superstar of this era, James has his own character, and he will definitely find a way to curb Link.
But Davis is different. In front of the two brothers Gasol and Morris, he can do whatever he wants!
Davis is an absolute talent crush on the players on the Grizzlies' No. 4 position!
If you want to score, the Lakers are not afraid of the Grizzlies today. If Link and Davis only play one goal with one goal today, then Davis will definitely score more in the final score.
Soon, after Jokic adjusted McGee's frame guard from the outside, he helped the ball to Link who cut from the bottom line at a high position.
After receiving the ball, Link took the ball and took the ball back. Because there was a basket in the middle, James, who was chasing Link, was completely helpless about the ball.
And just now, Link easily threw James away with just one back run.
For the first time, James was so powerless.
But not long after Link scored the goal, Anthony Davis responded again.
This time, he, who was originally in the inside position, suddenly pushed Gasol and ran out of the three-point line by himself.
James sent the ball to Davis very tacitly. James' "bullet pass" was very powerful and fast.
So when Davis received a three-pointer from the basketball, Gasol was just halfway through.
After two consecutive strong low-post strikes, Davis also showed his hot three-pointer feel today.
Today, Davis made a 3-pointer for the first time, and he steadily shot him!
Davis' three-point shooting percentage has remained above 33% for three consecutive seasons, which is relatively stable.
With 7 points in a row, Anthony Davis is completely invincible today.
Gasol was too slow in front of Davis, and the Spaniards could not keep up with Davis' rhythm at all.
Now, the score difference has become a three-pointer. Even if Link scores another two-pointer, the Grizzlies are still in a behind position.
Davis wants to see how Link will continue the score this time! James is also ready to make a try. In any case, Link must be pinched this round.
This time, Conley divided the ball into Jokic's hands.
Jokic was ambushed outside the three-point line this round, ready to shoot a cold gun and shoot a three-pointer.
But before the game, McGee was told that he could not let Jokic take a step. No matter how much he liked to shrink the basket, he had to be close to Jokic today.
McGee did as he did, and he knew how powerful Jokic was. As long as the fat man seized a little bit of space, he could always make three-pointers in various strange postures. He must not be careless.
So, Jokic did not get a phone call. He just received the basketball and was stuck by McGee.
Jokic so could only hold up the basketball high and wait for an opportunity to pass the ball.
Link seemed to understand Jokic's eyes. Link, who was originally moving to Jokic's side, suddenly shook his shoulder in the opposite direction.
