Bryant. How dangerous Bryant is doesn't need to be elaborated too much. Although people jokingly call this guy the "Iron King", Kobe's 44.7% career shooting rate is actually not low. He only occasionally lets go of himself and makes crazy shots, leading to crazy iron-striking.

In other words, this is a super scorer who is not inefficient, has explosive scoring ability, has rich scoring methods, and is extremely psychologically powerful.

Link played five games with the Grizzlies and met a variety of opponents. But a super scorer? It was the first time he'd ever encountered it.

Although he was still complaining in his heart that Mayo actually threw Kobe Bryant to himself, in his thoughts, Link had already entered a state of confrontation with Kobe.

Bryant made a triple threat move with the ball, which was his preparation before he launched the offense. Bryant's triple threat is really elusive because he can score in any way.

After making two fake throws, Bryant found that Link didn't move at all, and he didn't even mean to get his center of gravity up.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant really shot directly outside the three-point line. That's Kobe Bryant, and his offensive options just look so irrational.

But in Bryant's view, there's nothing unreasonable about that. Since you really think I can't shoot, then I'll shoot.

However, when Kobe Bryant actually jumped and shot, Link followed suit. Kobe Bryant was a little surprised, this rookie is not wooden, but his judgment of offense is very accurate!

Link's height is more dominant than Kobe's, and with that 2.18-meter arm span, Kobe Bryant is solidly sealed on his face.

"Black Mamba" knew that something was wrong as soon as he shot, and sure enough, the basketball hit the front of the basket and failed to hit!

Seeing that Link actually prevented Kobe, everyone in the stands of the Staples Center was dumbfounded. Not to mention Lakers fans, even Link's "good teammate" Mayo was stunned.

If he had been defending Kobe Bryant with that ball just now, he would definitely have been played around. However, Link's defense against Kobe Bryant was extremely solid, at least he didn't make mistakes. What the hell is that guy made of? Isn't he nervous about facing a superstar?

Nervousness is definitely nervousness, and just now Link even felt his heartbeat accelerate. But Link, who has a lot of experience and works hard to keep his composure, still makes the best judgment.

I don't know why, when Link is immersed in defense, he can always tell which of the opponent's offense is real and which is fake. When it comes to defending Kobe, he seems to have an innate sense of judgment.

If you think about it carefully, until the 2010 Western Conference Finals, the best candidate for the Phoenix Suns to defend Kobe Bryant was still Grant. Hill. Therefore, it is no coincidence that Link was able to prevent Kobe Bryant just now. In his bones, Link has the genes to be able to defend Kobe.

Bryant also found it a little strange, first of all, as a rookie, Link's composure on the defensive end really didn't match his age. Even though he's a senior rookie, he's a little too calm.

And I don't know why, Kobe Bryant always felt that Link's defense made him extremely familiar, but he didn't know where the familiarity was.

Bryant's offense failed, and the Grizzlies went on offense. In order to avoid the embarrassment of Tabit being blown up, this time Hollins deliberately replaced Gal Jr. early, and then brought him back up at the rotation time.

Therefore, the Grizzlies can now be regarded as the dual offensive core lineup of Link + Gasol Jr.

Kobe Bryant was in a tight position, he did not defend Mayo, but took the initiative to defend in front of Link. Matt. Barnes was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to Mayo's side.

A rookie who can Kobe Bryant off, that's not very common.

Link knows that although Kobe Bryant is now in his twilight years, it is not a wise choice to hold the ball and go it alone. As a result, Link scurried wildly, hoping to get a chance to attack off the ball.

But Kobe's defense is really tight, and this guy is different from superstars like Anthony who only attack but don't defend. Once Kobe Bryant wants to beat an opponent, he will put a lot of pressure on the opponent on both offensive and defensive ends.

Link's athleticism is not much better than Kobe's now, and it's hard to get rid of Kobe Bryant just by speed. He was really like a "poisonous snake" that entangled Link to death.

"Damn, I didn't get a chance!" Link gritted his teeth, probably the most feared defender he'd ever faced in the NBA. Superstars are superstars, and they're completely different from those half-people.

Seeing that Link couldn't find an open space, Vasquith could only hand the ball to Mayo. But under Barnes' tough defense, Mayo's breakaway layup missed. In fact, not only is Mayo's shooting inconsistent, but his finishing efficiency under the basket has also been low. As long as the defense is a little tougher, his layup is blinded.

The Grizzlies also missed the offense, both sides defended very hard, and the confrontation was fierce, and the game instantly became beautiful.

Kobe Bryant had to pass possession early, and in the second lineup, he had absolute unlimited fire. He wants to see what the No. 0 rookie in front of him is capable of!

If Link defended Kobe Bryant just now, it was because Mayo suddenly ran away. Then this time Link defended Kobe, but it was the initiative from the heart.

He found that he actually liked the feeling of fighting with a strong enemy! And what others dare not do is also a way to reflect one's own value.

Bryant confronted Link again, and it seemed as if it had become a separate performance between the two.

Hollins was sweating all over his fist, and he was afraid that Link would be hit by Kobe. However, Tony. Aaron tugged at Hollins' sleeve.

"Leave it to him, don't worry, he can." Tony. Aaron nodded at Hollins, "If you believe me, you have to trust him." ”

On the court, Bryant still held the ball one step outside the three-point line. Link knew he couldn't fall, the madman in front of him was in real danger. If he shoots away, the Grizzlies will not say that the difference will be stretched to 10 points, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to keep the 9-point advantage.

Kobe Bryant waited for an opportunity, but the first step did not get rid of Link, he found that Link actually fought against him at the moment he started!

It feels like Tony of a chicken thief. Aaron is defending himself! No wonder Tony before the game. Aaron and Link will whisper, it turns out that they are a pair of master and apprentice!

Bryant broke through to mid-range, and he found that Gasol Jr. had made up for the basket. It's clear that the Grizzlies have set a defensive trap for him. If you continue to go deeper, you will only fall into the bag clip.

So Kobe Bryant suddenly stopped suddenly, turned his back, and seemed to be about to turn over and jump shot!

"Turning over and jumping shot, this is Kobe's killer feature! There's no way Link can stop him! ”

The commentators had already raised their arms in advance, ready to celebrate Kobe's goal.

However, Bryant's first shot was just a feint. If Link is fooled, Bryant only needs to change hands again and make a light pick-up to score.

Kobe Bryant's little abacus crackled, but when he made a fake throw, Link did not jump, but continued to stick to himself and continued to fight!

"This ...... It's a textbook ball-handling defensive move! The commentators were shocked, where did this undrafted pick come from. There are a lot of people in the NBA who can defend. But there are only a handful of people who can defend Kobe.

At that moment, Bryant suddenly remembered who Link was defensively like. This round is simply last season's Western Conference Finals. Hill defends a remake of himself!

It's just in Grant. On the basis of Hill, Link's defense is a little more Tony. Allen's toughness and confrontation.

Speaking of which, Kobe Bryant remembered that Link's style of play seemed to be quite similar to Hill. A guy who is young and plays like a twilight Hill? Interesting!

Although it was tightly pressed, the "Black Mamba", who had already killed the red eye, still chose to jump on the spot and shoot backwards.

It's easy to see how difficult this shot is, and even a player like Kobe Bryant can't hit it every time. So, this difficult mid-range shot came out of the frame, and Link defended Kobe Bryant for two consecutive rounds!

On the Grizzlies bench, Randolph, Conley and Mr. Tony were all waving towels in excitement. Perhaps few of the team's benches would be so excited by a successful defense. But this is the Memphis Grizzlies, and they're a team that runs rampant defensively.

The Lakers are starting to panic, and if even Kobe Bryant can't handle it, this game is estimated to be difficult.

Link didn't get complacent after defending Kobe, but quickly pulled to the bottom right corner to open up space for his teammates to attack.

Vasquith hoisted the ball to Gasol Jr., who faced Bynum, who was also on the court in rotation time, and made a jumper from close range.

This kind of ball is not difficult for a Spanish center forward with excellent technique in the low post. The basketball hit steadily, and the margin became 11 points, and the Grizzlies managed to turn the margin into double digits before halftime!

That's right, double digits ahead of the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers!

With just over two minutes left in the second quarter, Phil. Jackson also let out a rare roar. The "Zen Master" can no longer pretend to be quiet, and if he doesn't speak, the Lakers will capsize in the gutter at home.

Although he hadn't scored the goal himself, Link was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He's finally discovered the joy of defending a superstar, what's the use of being so good? I just can keep you scored! Every time he defended Kobe, Link was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Offensive? It doesn't matter if it's handed over to my teammates, I just want to limit the scorers in front of me!

At this point, Matt. Barnes really felt like he was innocent in the first quarter. A guy who can play back and forth with Kobe Bryant is not his cup of tea at all. He and Mayo are still in each other's company, and Kobe Bryant fights with Link's immortals, and he can't intervene.

This time, Kobe Bryant directly asked for the baseline ball and personally controlled the ball through the half. He was completely enraged, and "Black Mamba" showed his most poisonous fangs.

Link looked firmly ahead, straightened his legs, lifted his trouser legs, and spread his arms.

At this time, Tony. Aaron's words echoed in Link's mind - I don't understand the offense, but don't think about it either!
