673:Indiscriminate Vengeance (2/5)

On March 29, 2003, Bryant and Jordan played each other for the last time. The young No. 8 Kobe Bryant played 41 minutes, shooting 15-of-29, 9-of-13 from three-point range, and 16-of-18 from the free-throw line, slashing 55 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals to lead the Lakers to a 108-94 home victory over the Wizards.

In that game, Kobe Bryant seemed to want to try his best to prove his mettle in front of Jordan one last time. There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant succeeded.

And this 55-point game has also become a classic in the minds of many people.

But a not-so-rosy fact is that in that game, Kobe Bryant and Jordan faced each other very few times. Most of the time, Kobe Bryant is played against Jerry, another guard of the Wizards. Stark House.

In the few times Jordan really played against Kobe, there was also a steal, a foul, and a defense against Kobe Bryant. Overall, Jordan was actually not blown up by Kobe.

At that time, Jordan was lucky, at least he had people like Starkerhouse next to him to help him defend against Kobe's attacks.

And now Kobe Bryant is not so lucky, because from the first round, he has to face Link directly!

Kobe didn't expect Link to counterattack so quickly, that kind of ball is not only a reflection of a player's excellent level, but also a reflection of a player's extremely competitive spirit.

After being scored by Kobe, Link did not have the patience to play any positional battles slowly, but rushed directly to return Kobe's "punch". Link also showed his attitude that he would not be able to become Kobe Bryant today.

Kobe Bryant was defended by Link very hard this round, and the space connecting the ball couldn't be flashed.

Bryant didn't know if he was getting too slow or if Link was getting too fast.

In desperation, Wesley. Johnson had no choice but to give the ball to Gasol. Paul. Gasol confronted Randolph in the low post, and the Spaniard said he would fight hard with Kobe Bryant today!

Gasol then pushed back hard, and it had been a long time since he had been seen playing so aggressively.

Last season, because of Howard's presence, Gasol almost became a catch-and-shoot player. Moreover, he is also a catch-and-shoot who can only shoot at mid-range. This strange style naturally made Gasol struggle quite a bit.

This season, although Mike. D'Antoni still hasn't found Gasol's instructions. But at the very least, the Lakers' interior line is not so crowded, and Gasol has a lot of room to play freely.

Gasol got close to the basket and turned very skillfully to hook his hands. Randolph suffered from his height, and Gasol also chose the hook hand, which is a difficult offensive method to block, and Randolph had no way to interfere.

The basketball hollowed into the net and went in without any mud and water. Gasol roared and waved his fist, as if the "Golden Lion King" of the year had reappeared.

"Damn, can you defend your brother later, he's too tall!" Randolph picked up the basketball and complained at Gasol Jr.

"Leave it to me, Zach." Gasol Jr. patted Randolph on the shoulder, and he could clearly feel that his brother was in an unusual state today.

Kobe Bryant high-fived Gasol excitedly, and the attack just now seemed to make Kobe Bryant find the feeling of two consecutive championships. Whenever he couldn't open up the situation, Gasol stepped in to help him. Then they were invincible, briefly ruling the alliance for two years.

Gasol did what he said, he said that he would fight with Kobe, and he would never be lazy! Today they don't have to rule the league, they just rule the Federal Express Arena.

It seems that the "script" of today's game was specially prepared for the Lakers. Kobe Bryant and Gasol dream of returning to the top to send the Grizzlies, who are now the No. 1 in the league, to lose two in a row, let them see what a giant is called immortal, what a perfect story!

But Link never follows the script given to him by others, and is there still less beautiful story he destroys?

Link was still excited, and Bryant felt like the kid seemed to be more excited than he was. The excitement was like the night he met Jordan that night in 2003......

Kobe Bryant had just put on a stance when Link raised his hand to ask for the ball.

For the second round in a row, Link wanted to take the initiative to attack with the ball. Bryant found himself nervous, a tension he hadn't experienced in years.

But in front of Link, who has a strong desire to attack, Kobe Bryant experienced this nervous feeling again.

Link just got the ball, Mark. Gasol's cover was in place. Jordan. Hill had to switch guards, and Bryant is not as good as he was back then.

Link breaks through, and both Hill and Kobe Bryant chase after Link. At the same time, Gasol also made up for the basket!

With the three of them together, it is not the first time that Link has "enjoyed" such treatment this season.

Paul. Gasol is not only on the offensive end, but also very the defensive end.

For him, such a professional attitude is very commendable. After all, Gasol has been mired in transfer rumours for a long time. As a meritorious player who accompanied Kobe Bryant to create the last two consecutive championships, Gasol is put on the shelves by the Lakers almost every year.

If ordinary players were treated like this, they would have started to fish a long time ago. You don't want to see me, and I don't bother to work hard for you.

But Gasol is still doing his best for the Lakers in such a situation, and one of the most important reasons for this is Kobe!

Gasol felt like he wasn't playing for the Lakers, he was playing for Kobe.

Gasol stood under the basket with his arms raised high, did not evade, and even if he was knocked to the ground by Link, he could get an offensive foul!

Kobe Bryant thought that Link would make a pull-up jump shot, but Link didn't slow down in the slightest and rushed towards Gasol!

Gasol was ready to fall backwards, but Link suddenly burst into flames and jumped high!

It's a feeling that Gasol is all too familiar with, because of this kind of fucking encounter, Gasol has to encounter several times a season.

"I'm Cao, ruthless ......"

As soon as Gasol finished muttering in his heart, he felt a huge impact hit. The Spaniard forgot to fall backwards and was knocked off the line in disarray. In the next second, the basket made a loud noise, and Link hung the frame with both hands and poured the ball in!

Paul is 2.13 meters tall. With Gasol standing under the basket with his arms raised, Link is equivalent to directly ignoring the defense of the opponent's interior player and scoring a dunk directly!

"It was an explosive scene! Link ignores Gasol's defense and wins the dunk! Lovely Paul. Gasol, who is undoubtedly a great player, is also the backdrop that appears most often in the slam dunk highlights. ”

Watching Link land and roar at Gasol, Huby. Brown couldn't bear to complain. Gasol is really a bit tricky, it seems that whoever beats the Lakers has to deduct one from Gasol's head to be worth the trip.

", this Spanish softass!" Bill. Simmons also yelled in front of the TV, how could he let Link score so easily?

If Simmons had gone up and fought Link for a round in person, he probably wouldn't have thought Gasol was a soft egg.

"It's all right, Paul!" Bryant immediately went up to ask about Gasol.

Gasol waved his hand awkwardly, he was just a small hook, and as a result, he was hit by a dunk, and Link's revenge was too heavy!

But once again, Link didn't want to be behind even a single round today. As long as the Lakers score, Link will find a way to pull the score back.

Kobe Bryant is starting to notice that something is wrong, and Link is having a lot of momentum today...... The score is estimated to be high!

In the next few rounds, the Lakers struggled under the Grizzlies' tough defense. Although every attack was not easy, it was able to continue the score.

And what about the grizzly bears? Link began his solo show.

After shutting Gasol, Link made another shot in a pullout on Kobe's head. A few minutes later, Link broke through Kobe Bryant and hit a pull-up layup.

Gasol had barely taken a breath when Link came again. This time, Link hit the basket directly, Gasol didn't pull it, and finally gave Link a 2+1.

Bill. The more Simmons looked, the more nervous he felt, his palms covered in sweat. He finally managed to get one back because of the Grizzlies' loss to the Thunder, but he didn't want to be swollen by Link again.

However, the result of the first quarter of the game was still hopeless.

By the time Link was substituted in the 10th minute of the first quarter, he had already scored 11 points!

Kobe Bryant was already quite good in the first quarter today, scoring 8 points on 4-of-6 shooting from Link's head! But Kobe didn't expect that Link was even more ruthless than himself!

People say that Black Mamba will be very angry today, but Kobe feels that Link's anger even overshadows him.

Look at what kind of monster Durant and Simmons forced out.

After Kobe Bryant was provoked by Jordan, he didn't talk to his teammates for two weeks, and he waited for the next time he met Jordan to complete his revenge.

But Link is different, he can't wait for the next meeting with Durant. Today, whoever is in front of Link will have to be unlucky.

This kind of indiscriminate revenge made Kobe Bryant feel innocent.

In the end, the Grizzlies scored 30 points in the first quarter and went into the break with a seven-point lead.

Gasol and Kobe Bryant looked at each other on the bench, an opponent they couldn't contain together? It really hasn't been before.

Kobe Bryant hopes that he can become or even surpass Jordan, but he doesn't want to be like Jordan, who is bombarded by a young kid on the top of the head by 50 points......
