634: Layup like Jordan

Facing Link, Anthony. Davis wasn't nervous. Because of the Heat two days ago, Davis and James also briefly faced off for a few rounds.

Although he did not say that he had an advantage, Davis did not suffer much. So in the face of Link, Davis also thinks that he will not suffer.

The big deal is that they explode each other, and it's not certain who loses and who wins.

The Grizzlies fans all stood up, cheering for Link. Link vs Davis, this is the biggest attraction of this game. Now, the two are still directly facing each other, and the fans are excited one by one.

"Is this a good idea? Maybe not a good idea. Although Link also played the No. 4 position during the Finals, he also played one big and four small because of the Heat at that time. But now, Link is facing Davis with a standard power forward size. Was it really the right decision to let Link play the number four position? ”

Barkley can't help but be a little worried, Link defends well, that's notoriously good. But even so, it seems too difficult to keep Davis at bay.

Under the cheers of the fans, Holiday controlled the ball past half court, and the first round of the second quarter was about to begin!

Link was in waiting, and although he didn't seem to care about Davis on the surface, he knew very well that Davis was definitely not easy to deal with.

At this stage, Davis's biggest problem is that he is slightly less confrontational.

In the years that followed, Davis's arms grew thicker and stronger. It is precisely after the confrontation ability came up that Davis became a supergiant.

But now, Davis is still relatively thin. Although it is better than last season, the confrontation ability is still not strong.

Link plans to start from this point and have a hand-to-hand fight with Davis.

Davis didn't hesitate, he sat inside and wanted to single Link with his back.

Against Link, it's a misalignment, and Davis certainly wants to solve the problem with a back-to-back single.

Holiday deftly hoisted the ball to Davis, who reached out with his long arm and caught the basketball with ease. In the first round of the opening of the second quarter, Davis and Link were on the bar!

As a young player, Davis is naturally very eager to prove himself by beating a star who has been in the league for a long time.

He felt Link's defense with the ball and slammed it back!

"Bang!"

The two collided violently, and Gasol on the side felt pain when he heard it.

Davis thought he would be able to chisel into the inside line easily, but after he exerted his strength, it was as if he had hit a solid wall, and he didn't even take half a step!

"This ......" Davis was shocked, Link is a No. 3 position, why is the low post defensive ability so strong!?

He didn't have to work so Harris's No. 4 position just now.

Link was actually struggling just now, but he managed to carry Davis down. Davis is a good No. 4 position, but his core strength is still far from James. In the finals last season, Link didn't let James take advantage, and naturally it was even more impossible to be pushed away by Davis.

Davis, who didn't believe in evil, sat back again, and Link was still unmoved, as steady as Tarzan.

This is embarrassing, and it is the most embarrassing thing to hit people without moving their backs. Davis felt himself blushing, so he turned his back to break through!

Davis's back turn this time was a bit hasty, probably because he was in a hurry to get back face, so he was in a hurry.

Link saw the timing and quickly started everything when Davis's body just turned!

"Smack!" As soon as Davis turned to face the frame, he noticed that the basketball was out of control.

"Damn, when will it ......" Davis's eyes widened even more, and he didn't even see when Link started!

Just as Davis was about to turn around and hold the basketball again, Link stretched out his other arm and fished it lightly, and scooped the basketball into his arms, and the steal was successful!

Link cut off Anthony just in time. The ball in Davis's hand, haha, he's really a chicken thief. Any player who plays against Link has to be up to 12 points. Link made a long pass in the backcourt and handed the ball to Conley, and the Grizzlies fought back! ”

O'Neal applauded vigorously on the commentary stage, Link's defense just now was completely a textbook demonstration of small defense.

Davis desperately chased back, hoping to make up for it with a chase shot. Conley turned his head and looked behind him as he was moving quickly, and found that Davis had caught up!

But Conley still didn't hesitate, he jumped lightly and raised the basketball as if to make a layup.

Davis immediately followed, chasing a small defender like Conley, and he was bound to win.

Davis was in the air as fast as he could, his palms just one step away from Conley's basketball.

However, in the next second, the basketball disappeared from Davis's eyes. To be exact, it was Conley who suddenly turned into a pass, and with a twist of his wrist, he sent the basketball back beyond the three-point line.

Davis hurriedly turned around after landing and found Link unmarked at the top of the arc outside the three-point line!

"The Pelicans' defense has shrunk too hard, Davis should have been targeting Link!"

O'Neill yelled, and Link calmly made a move. This kind of open three-point opportunity, Link rarely wastes.

Davis watched as Link easily made a shot from beyond the three-point line, and the difference was reduced to 4 points in an instant!

Seeing Davis so impulsively want to chase after him, but instead missed his counterpoint, Link couldn't help but shake his head.

What a little brat!

"Damn! My bad! Davis raised his hand to signal to his teammates, and after the attack failed, he was scored by the opponent for three points, and here there is a five-point difference.

After the fight just now, Davis was a lot more cautious. This time, he didn't rush to fight Link again.

Davis holds the ball with his back in the mid-range and watches his teammates move.

However, Davis had only received the ball for a few seconds. Aaron took it.

Face Link and Tony. Allen's bag, Davis had to hold the basketball high, and he didn't dare to put the basketball down three ways.

The picture that was just snatched by Link is still vivid.

Davis was trapped, and Aminu was leaked out. Aminu was a 3D player in the future, but he hasn't fully evolved yet. Only D, no 3.

Last season, Aminu shot just 21.7 percent from three-point range. That's why Tony. The reason why Allen dared to wrap Davis is because there is no need to worry about leaving Aminu on the outside, he is a point that can be put empty outside the three-point line.

Aminu also knew that he couldn't pose a threat with three points, so after seeing Davis being trapped, Aminu chose to cut in.

Davis lifted the basketball high and passed, and Aminu took the ball and cut to the basket.

But this time, the Grizzlies' best defensive player wasn't whistled out of the restricted area.

As soon as Aminu jumped, the Great White Bear returned to the basket and raised his arms high.

The Nigerian prince was instantly out of sight of the basket, and he had no choice but to throw a hasty shot.

Aminu is not an offensive player in the first place, and he was interfered with by Gasol, and he lost all his crosshairs.

Aminu's throw hits the left side of the basket and misses!

Davis immediately reflexively prepared to scramble for an offensive rebound, but the moment he turned, Link was stuck in position, leaving Davis unable to move.

With a stuck position, Davis couldn't get the rebound even with his height advantage.

Moreover, Link's bounce was not weak either. He didn't wait for the rebound to fall into his hands, but jumped high and took the basketball off with ease.

After grabbing the rebound, Link made another quick pass to Iguodala!

Gordon and Iguodala are in a matchup, and Gordon is at an absolute disadvantage on the defensive end. Whether it's height, reach, or confrontation, Gordon doesn't have an advantage.

Gordon is a point guard who works hard defensively, but the hardware is really not good for defense, not to mention that Iguodala is also a forward player.

After receiving the basketball, Iguodala leaned on Gordon and quickly approached the basket, and after taking the initiative to give Gordon a confrontation in the restricted area, Iguodala easily made a layup!

There are only 2 points left!

"Beautiful counterattack, Grizzlies hit two counterattacks in a row. It's not because the Grizzlies' offense has suddenly gotten better, it's because their defense is much better than it was just now. Only by stabilizing the defensive end can the conditions for counterattacks be created! ”

O'Neal danced excitedly, and after Link faced Davis, Davis was clearly restrained.

Charles. Barkley looked surprised, he really didn't expect Link to do this.

Has this guy's defense come to this point?

Link doesn't actually feel like defending Anthony. How difficult it is for Davis, after all, against Durant, who is 2.10 meters up, Link is not at all behind.

With only two points left, the Pelicans panicked. After discovering that Davis was being targeted, the Pelicans didn't even dare to play the ball to Davis again this time, but let the two guards, Holiday and Gordon, solve the problem.

But against the defense of Iguodala and Conley, the Pelicans' expensive guard line is not so easy to score.

Eventually, Gordon's pull-up jumper was heavily interfered with by Iguodala and hit the iron. Gasol and Link's skillful positioning allowed them to block the restricted area directly, not giving the Pelicans any chance to grab rebounds at all.

"The Pelicans offense misses again! Let's see if the Memphis Grizzlies can equalize! ”

The fans in the stadium were in high spirits, and Link made Davis's magical aura disappear in an instant.

This time, the Pelicans learned to be obedient, and they retreated very quickly, just to prevent the Grizzlies from fighting back.

Davis didn't rush back to the basket either, but was following Link, beware of Link getting another easy shot.

The pace of the game slowed down instantly, and the two sides fell into a positional battle.

After a series of off-ball runs, Link finally received the ball on the right side from beyond the three-point line.

But Davis was really fast and immediately followed. His movement speed really doesn't match his height.

Link wasn't nailed to the three-point line, he used an extremely fluid crossover past Davis to accelerate the break!

"It was a successful breakthrough and Link's possession was a delight to watch. But Davis wasn't completely thrown away, he was still on Link's side! ”

Davis gritted his teeth, and no matter what, he wouldn't allow Link to just equalize.

The second quarter had only been played for a few rounds, and Link had only been in the opposite position for a few minutes. If the Grizzlies just equalized under Link's leadership, wouldn't that mean they were completely inferior to him?

Davis is not reconciled!

Beat the regular season MVP first, and after defeating the Finals MVP, Davis' goal will not change!

Although Davis was close to him, Link didn't hesitate. After hitting the basket, jump directly to attack the frame!

Davis jumped immediately, his vertical bounce can jump to 0.73 meters, plus his reach, his standing height data can be known!

This terrifying height gave Davis a natural advantage to complete the block. Coupled with his now sharp defensive awareness, the block has become a unique skill for Davis. In the past four games, Davis has had a lot of blocks.

Seeing Davis's terrifying block height, O'Neill on the commentary stage sweated for Link. This height is unlikely to be surpassed.

But in the air, when Davis soared to the highest point, just waiting to give Link a big risk. Link tucked the basketball to his waist and dodged the block!

"What!?"

Davis didn't expect Link to be able to move so freely in the air, and his body had already begun to fall, but Link's body was still hanging in the air.

What a terrible ability to stay in the air!

Link dodged the block, glided to the other side of the basket, and then landed a layup without looking back, scoring a goal!

The final 2-point gap was filled, and Anthony Brown. Davis couldn't stop Link!

"Beautiful layup, Link led the Grizzlies to equalize! Link deserved to be the FMVP last season, and he just made a pull-up layup...... There's a little Michael. Jordan's Shadow! ”、

Barkley couldn't help it, and he was initially skeptical that Link would be able to withstand Davis' onslaught. Now, he has no doubt that Link can do it!

After Link's goal, Pelicans coach Monty. Williams called a timeout. From a seven-point lead to a tiebreaker, the Grizzlies took just three rounds, which Williams couldn't accept.

Davis froze in place, still savoring Link's incredible pull-up layup.

Just then, Link's voice rang in his ears again.

"Now you know what you're in, right? This is the Federal Express Arena, and no one can challenge my authority here, not even the champions! ”

Davis only felt a shock in his heart, even if LeBron . James has never given him such a terrible sense of oppression.
