As the game came to an end, the atmosphere of the Federal Express Arena had gradually cooled down, far less enthusiastic than at the beginning of the game.

Link sat on the bench and leaned relaxed on the chair. He really couldn't understand why the Pelicans could get so much attention.

It's not difficult for them to deal with!

Anthony Davis stood inside panting, ready to help defend. But now he has been quite depressed in terms of physical fitness and morale. The past three quarters have been almost a torture for him.

In the flash, Mike Conley broke into the penalty area and made a quick layup. If it was the first quarter now, Davis would definitely do his best to block Conley and let the Grizzlies players know that they were not a soft persimmon. But now, Davis just jumped ritually.

He doesn't want to work so hard, so what if this ball is blocked? The winner has been decided in this game.

"Conley made a layup, and Anthony Davis's backup defense speed seemed to be much slower than before. The game ended with 1 minute and 25 seconds left, and the New Orleans Pelicans fell 16 points behind!"

16 points, 1 minute and a half. For the Pelicans, this is almost an insurmountable gap.

Since Link started playing against Davis in the second quarter, the Pelicans have been suppressed and unable to turn over. Link used his superb defensive skills and all-round skills to play the young Davis, who couldn't find North. The gap was wider and wider, while the Pelicans were unable to catch up.

When the Pelicans' magic aura faded, people found that the team was not that scary. The Pelicans also had the problems of almost every young team, such as stripping away the appearance of three consecutive victories and defeating the Heat, panic, poor tactical execution, poor offensive stability, etc.

Under the Grizzlies, the Pelicans have a feeling of being revealed.

Monty Williams called a pause again, and t was finally able to compare the data between Link and Davis today under the TV.

Link's performance in the first quarter today was average and very transparent. But from the second quarter, his score began to increase sharply. Davis was just the opposite. In the first quarter, he scored 8 points in a single quarter, flew away from the earth, and played very lively. But the next three quarters were hard to describe.

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

At first glance, Anthony Davis's data is amazing. Not only is it accurate to have 20+10, but he also won 3 steals and 3 blocks, which is simply versatile!

But Davis has only made 5 of 14 shots so far, with a shooting percentage of 35.7%, which is really eye-catching. As many as 4 mistakes also highlight his embarrassment.

To put it bluntly, Davis's score in the last three quarters was basically scored by free throws. Under Link's defense, he did not have a few serious sports goals.

Davis's efficiency makes his apparently excellent data worthless. What's more, the Pelicans are still in a behind position, which makes Davis' performance worth nothing.

The superstar who defeated LeBron James did not taste any sweetness when Link came to his head.

After returning from the timeout, Link was still sitting on the bench. Dave Jogel was very confident. He believed that this game had entered garbage time. No coach would send his star to the game during garbage time.

Sure enough, in the last minute and a half, the Pelicans, who had been beaten to death, did not organize any threatening attacks at all. Anthony Davis had no other data to record except for snatching one more rebound.

With the outstanding performances of Gordon, Holiday and Evans, the Pelicans finally scored 99 points under the Grizzlies' tight defense.

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

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

"It's over, the Grizzlies won without any danger. Although there was something wrong in the first quarter, the Grizzlies completely controlled the rhythm of the game in the next three quarters. Link performed very well. He was not at a disadvantage in the face of Anthony Davis, who was five centimeters taller than him!"

"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 very huge.

Charles Barkley said bluntly, "It was a mistake to compare Link and Davis as a comparison. Link is the defending champion, and Davis has never tasted what the playoffs feels like. There is no suspense between these two people."

James, who was sitting at home watching this game, had all been embarrassed and cancer. Now the more people praise Link, the more miserable he feels he falls!

After the game, Link was interviewed by a reporter from a sideline. When asked about "How does it feel to beat Anthony Davis?", Link just waved his hand.

"To be honest, there is no special feeling. I've said I'll beat him, but no one believed it at that time."

Link's contemptuous expression made the 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 hot spot for reporters. However, compared with the glory of the previous three games, Davis's situation today is a bit embarrassing.

"Davis, can you evaluate Link's defense? His offense almost stagnates in the next three quarters. Do you think this is the 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 harder to deal with Link or LeBron? Does losing to Link make you feel disappointed?"

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

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

If he played 55 with Link today but the Pelicans lost, Davis probably wouldn't be so disappointed. But throughout the process, Davis felt that he was crushed!

On the defensive end, Link followed him like a shadow. As long as he had a slight slack of slack, he would make mistakes.

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

In the last game, Davis only faced James for a few rounds, which made him think he already had the strength to compete with the superstars.

But today, after three quarters against Link, Davis let go of this unrealistic fantasy.

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

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

There is no way, this is the price after losing and gaining popularity. Before the game, the hottest game was inflated. After losing, Davis faced the criticism.

"Link played great today, really great. I have never played against such a strong opponent. Although he is at a disadvantage in height, he can do everything possible to prevent me from scoring. On the offensive end, I was helpless with him! As Link said before, today I came to visit the championship banner and then saw how the championship played. We are still a long way to go, and today's game has benefited me a lot."

Davis was overwhelmed and finally took the initiative to say such a weak sentence at the press conference. His proud attitude before the game disappeared instantly.

The day after the game, Charles Barkley made a summary of Davis's speech on his Twitter.

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

Barkley played a joke about himself. Once, he was beaten by others, and then he praised his opponent with the same words.

As for the guy who beat Barkley to the point of being angry, his jersey is now hanging on the dome of the United Center.
