Kelly. Irving, the top pick in the 2011 draft. After James left the Cavaliers, the Cleveland people became a new spiritual pillar.

Irving's stats are gorgeous, averaging 18.5 points and 5.4 assists per game in his rookie season. But unlike Wall's and other champions, Irving has not only not regressed in the second year of his career, but has also improved significantly.

This season, Irving's scoring average has risen to 22.5 points per game! While averaging one more three-pointer per game than last year, the three-point shooting percentage is the same as last season, close to 40%! This gorgeous statistic also made Irving selected for the All-Star bench this year.

As a sophomore, that's already a great honour. After all, not everyone is like Link, who can be an All-Star starter in the second year.

In addition to his excellent stats and top-notch status, what Irving is most talked about is his gorgeous style of play.

Irving's offense is mostly dominated by fancy dribbling breakthroughs. Even on NBA-level defense, Irving is comfortable with those intricate, street-action-like dribbles.

Irving's season-long highlights can definitely make most fans on the spot.

Therefore, Irving's one-on-one singles ability is definitely quite strong. Even within the limits of the NBA, no one dares to say that he can be absolutely contained.

Therefore, Irving is not even afraid to look for a heads-up partner among the All-Star players.

Irving knows that if he looks for players like Kobe Bryant and James, they may not pull down their faces to fight with him because of their status.

So, Owen planned to find a player with similar qualifications to himself. As a result, Link entered the league just a year earlier than Irving, making it the go-to choice.

As expected by Irving, Link accepted his heads-up offer. But what Owen didn't expect was that Link was so confident that he even said things like "I'll let you half"!

After Link said this, the other stars on the lookers immediately exploded. Link is a hedgehog, and it's fine when you don't offend him, but the more you challenge him, the more dangerous Link becomes.

"Alright, guys, let's give up a piece of space! Kelly. Irving vs. Link, the All-Star Game is about to start early! Since they want to fight, let them fight! Randolph, who didn't think it was a big deal, immediately spread out, and the group gradually dispersed, vacating half of the basketball court for Link and Irving.

Link gave Randolph a blank look, this guy really doesn't hurt to stand and talk. It's okay now, if you don't fight, you have to fight.

Owen hugged the basketball and smiled slightly. Now that so many reporters are here, if the real Link wins, then it won't be able to float into the sky?

And Link, since he saw Irving shake Knight yesterday, also wanted to experience for himself what it was like to defend Irving.

The two really want to fight each other.

"Well, just play five balls, three points and two points are only one point, and whoever scores first five times wins. The team that scores the goal retains possession of the ball for the next turn and does not exchange possession until a missed shot or a steal. The rules are simple, right, so, do you serve first or do I serve first? "Owen couldn't wait, and he couldn't get the game to start right away.

"You come first, or I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to attack. Because if I had come first, I would have hit five goals in a row. After Link, he took the initiative to take the basketball and passed it to Irving.

Seeing Link look so confident, the defender felt as if he had found the wrong one-on-one target......

Before the heads-up began, Link was already using trash talk to make Owen a little nervous. Although he entered the league only a year earlier than Owen, Owen felt as if Link had been a big man who had been in the league for more than ten years.

He stood there confidently, waiting to teach the juniors a lesson. Link exuded the aura of a king all over his body.

Owen shook his head, no more thoughts. Link is just a third-year player, how good can he be?

Irving made several triple threat moves after holding the ball, and from this one action, Kobe, who was originally watching the excitement, frowned.

He found out that Owen, this kid was not joking, he really wanted to fight!

In the next second, Owen suddenly started to break through! Link immediately moved sideways, but as soon as he took a step, Irving used a nimble back-to-back change of direction to get past Link, easily slotted into the box, and made a layup.

"Oh, that's beautiful."

"It's Kelly, breaking through."

"Haha, Link has a hard stubble today."

After Irving's goal, the other onlookers immediately began to discuss. And outside the stadium, the flashing lights of reporters have not stopped.

"1-0 Link, don't think you're playing against a high school student." Owen gestured a finger and smirked.

"It seems to me that you were originally a high school student." Link tilted his head, not panicking because Owen scored as soon as he came up, and still looked like a big guy.

On the second ball, Irving suddenly retreated halfway through and made a shot. Link hurriedly sealed it, but Owen actually accelerated again, wiped past Link, and faked the Buddha!

After wiping Link, Irving scored for the second easy layup in a row, and the training court was already full of cheers, and Irving's performance even the pros couldn't help but want to applaud when they saw it.

Durant was the most vocal of them all, and he wished Link was making a fuss here.

Link put away his hippie smile, picked up the basketball, and hit it again to Owen.

When Irving received the basketball that bounced off the floor, he found that the ball was much stronger than it had just been. The young guard of the Cavaliers looked up, only to see that Link's expression seemed to be much more serious.

Kobe nodded, this is like words!

"Kelly." Before the third goal, Link shouted Owen.

"Huh?"

"I appreciate your confidence." Link said seriously.

"Thank you."

"No, I'm not done yet. I appreciate your confidence, but at the same time I have to thank you for your $25,000. ”

Owen was speechless, Link's mouth cannon was so annoying. However, he believes that when this heads-up is over, Link will be speechless.

As soon as Owen was about to break through this time, Link puffed up his chest and pressed it, giving Owen a physical confrontation and disrupting his dribbling rhythm.

Link was well aware that Owen was changing direction very quickly. If he is allowed to speed, he will not be able to catch up at all. If you want to prevent him, you must fundamentally jam him!

Seeing that Link was so deadly, most people except Kobe Bryant also knew that Link and Owen were not joking. From the start, the goal of these two guys is to knock each other down!

Owen took a step back, his body still slightly thin compared to Link. But it doesn't matter, Owen himself is not the kind of guard who plays by brute force.

After being forced back to the three-point line by Link, Irving acted like a left-handed quick dribble, looking for a rhythm. He was able to score in the first two rounds, and Owen believes the third leg will be no exception!

Owen stabbed forward to the left, but crossed to the right as he went. Link was secretly surprised that in such a small space, this guy could complete such a quick change of direction.

Owen, this guy really has something!

With this wonderful crossover, Owen managed to break through Link! He's so fast that most defenders probably can't keep up.

But Link was not completely thrown away, he reacted quickly, and almost immediately posted it, staying at Irving's side, not letting him go to the basket easily.

But Irving still relied on his faster pace to surpass Link's position by a small point, and went straight to the basket!

Ordinary people were so broken through by Owen that they would have been scored a long time ago. But at the moment when Irving made a layup, people saw Link rise from the ground, and the speed of the bullet was jaw-dropping!

Owen looked up, but couldn't see anything. The whole basket is covered by Link!

So, in the case of Irving's successful breakthrough, Link was stunned and waved his hand in the air and pinned Irving's inevitable layup to the rebound!

"Bang!"

Link squeezed the basketball so hard that it collided violently with the rebound, making a loud noise. The onlookers bared their teeth and exaggerated expressions. However, their various expressions all express one meaning - Tainyima is cruel!

Owen turned around in shock, he didn't expect that he hadn't been able to shake Link off completely. Moreover, I didn't expect Link to be able to destroy this ball.

Link grabbed the basketball with one hand and slammed it directly into Owen's chest.

"Learn, it's time for me to attack."

Last night, Rachel told Link to watch out for the ambitious Owen. Link was halfway through his sentence when he was hugged by Rachel.

If he could finish speaking, he would like to reply to Rachel's words, "Don't worry, Owen should be careful with me." ”
