298: Unless, he's provoked

Link's one-handed slam dunk seemed to completely split the bestiality of the Grizzlies players. After the first quarter, the Grizzlies played quite fiercely. Although the others are not strong in scoring, they are stunned to use defense to hold back the Lakers.

After the first quarter of the game, the two sides fought to a 24-all draw! Link was 4-of-5 and scored 10 points in a single quarter! Almost half of the Grizzlies' first-quarter games were scored by Link. He tackled the Grizzlies' offense perfectly and wasn't overwhelmed by Guy's absence.

Not to be outdone, Kobe Bryant scored 8 points on 3-of-4 shooting in the first quarter. Aaron shook his head.

Although Link and Kobe Bryant are not in the opposite position, they have been secretly competing. Kobe Bryant, in particular, has to return one as long as Link scores a goal. If it weren't for the fact that Kobe Bryant's playing time in the first quarter was not as long as Link, it is estimated that Kobe Bryant would be able to score more than ten points in a single quarter.

At the intermission, Bryant didn't wait for head coach Mike. Brown spoke, and walked directly to the guy's side, "In the second quarter of the game, I'm going to defend Link, and you send someone else to defend the Grizzlies at the second position." ”

Mike. Brown was stunned all of a sudden, he felt as if he had become a player, and Kobe Bryant had become a head coach in a suit instead.

"Oh...... Oh......" Brown nodded, being a coach next to James and next to Kobe Bryant is just a sin!

And on the contrary, both of them have coached Brown......

After Kobe Bryant finished speaking, he sat aside to rest and listened absentmindedly to Mike. Brown lays out the tactics.

Now, his mind is full of Link. In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers couldn't contain that guy with Barnes + Artest.

Both Barnes and Artest are fierce, but Link doesn't seem to be afraid of such ferocious defenders.

Then in the second quarter, Kobe decided to play technical defense with Link!

On the other side of the Grizzlies bench, Hollins arranged a lot of pick-and-roll tactics for Link. Link's shooting efficiency after hitting the pick-and-roll is very high, which is not comparable to Guy, who is obsessed with mid-range dry pulling.

Hollins decided to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, allowing Linkdo to take advantage of the cover in the middle range.

Seeing all the offensive tactics working for him, watching the coach arrange the tactics specifically according to his own strengths, Link felt incredible.

Previously, it was Link who had to adapt to the grizzly bears. And now, what Hollins is doing is getting the Grizzlies to get used to Link!

"Well done in the first quarter and I'm sure you can keep it up. Score as much as you want, no one will limit you today. As Hollins finished speaking, the buzzer also made a loud noise.

It's cool to be a villain, and it's even cooler to be the main attacker in a villain!

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead, and Link was about to tease Ci Shiping with words, but when he got close to the three-point line, Link found that his own person on defense had become the frowning No. 24!

Link: "??? ”

"Bryant, you're making the mistake, I'm the number three today."

"Shut up, bastard! You can beat me in the gym, but you can't beat me here! Bryant said, pulling up his trouser leg and lowering his weight a little more.

Link gasped, co-authoring Kobe Bryant still remembered the incident of losing to himself by one point in All-Star training this year! This Nima is terrible, does this guy usually play with his daughter with Barbie dolls to comb his hair better......

Link didn't continue to play with Kobe Bryant haha, he cut into the restricted area, received a low pass from Gasol Jr. and planned to go straight to the basket!

During this period, Kobe Bryant did not focus on hand-to-hand combat with Link like Barnes and Ci Shiping, but focused on basketball. Therefore, the moment Link received the basketball and took three steps, Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity to suddenly make a move and slapped the basketball in Link's hand!

"Bryant cut off the basketball, and he was so well timed! Link made his first mistake of the day, thanks to Kobe. ”

Bryant didn't give it to Sessions after stealing the basketball, but chose to control the ball himself. Link hurriedly returned to defense, and the picture in his mind was still the picture of being cut by Kobe Bryant, and now he was really targeted by Kobe.

Bryant beckoned to Bynum, indicating that he needed cover. Although Bynum is the starting center of the Western Conference Stars this year, he has not yet floated. In the Lakers, there was always Kobe Bryant holding him down.

Therefore, Bynum obediently mentioned the high position, and Kobe Bryant waited for an opportunity to break through.

Seeing this, Link also immediately made up for the basket. Ci Shiping was speechless, is Lao Tzu so non-existent on the offensive end? Always thrown down.

Bryant went to the basket and was surrounded by Grizzlies players. That's the kind of defense that the core of the scorer encounters, but Bryant has long been used to it.

He jumped lightly and lifted the basketball. Link struggled to straighten his arms, hoping to save face with a block.

However, in the air, Bryant passed the ball through the slit and into Bynum's hands. Although Kobe Bryant doesn't like to pass, he has always played well with the breakthrough ball between him and the center. After all, it was O'Neill who partnered with him back then. Kobe Bryant developed a knack for feeding the ball to the center in the middle of the crowd early on.

"I'm Cao?" After Link blocked Kobe Bryant's landing, he found himself standing right in front of Bynum. After receiving the basketball, Bynum did not hesitate, directly ignored Link in front of him, and dunked violently!

"Boom!" Link only heard a loud bang above his head, and then he was slammed into it. Link staggered back a few steps until his back hit the cushion on the basketball hoop.

At that moment, Link knew that he had become Bynum's backdrop!

"Beautiful! Bynum smashed the basketball into the hoop through Link! Bryant's pass was wonderful, and Bynum's subsequent dunk was even rougher! Link, his enthusiasm is good, but his luck is not so good. ”

Bad luck is indeed, Link this belongs to lying down and is slack.

"Come on, do you think you're good at fighting!? Scoring core? Joke! After the dunk, Bynum was obviously also excited, yelling at Link.

Bynum has never been a good stubble, and it's still that sentence, just because Kobe Bryant is pressing him.

Link didn't feel anything, but after being yelled at by Bynum, Link suddenly punched the cushion behind him.

Just cut the ball by Kobe, and now it is blocked by Bynum, what is this Nima!

Link gritted his teeth and ran to the frontcourt, his heart feeling extremely angry and aggrieved.

Grizzly Bear No. 0 has only one thought at this time, "Score, score, score, so that you guys are beaten speechless!" ”

Kobe Bryant was right, Link doesn't usually show his desire to win.

Unless, he is provoked.

"Mike!"

Hearing Link shout his name, Conley reflexively threw the ball to Link. It's normal for the offensive core to rush the point guard for the ball.

But everyone frowned, as Link rarely yelled for the ball like this.

"What? Angry? Bryant also became more serious, and he noticed that there was something wrong with Link's eyes.

Link didn't fight Kobe this time. After winning the ball, Link leaned directly against his back and pressed against Kobe's chest.

The audience exclaimed, Link wants to beat Kobe Bryant with his back? To use Kobe's tricks against Kobe!?

This guy is crazy!

"Cut!" Kobe's expression also became hideous, when the opponent uses your tricks to attack, this can be seen as a provocation!

But Kobe Bryant is not afraid, Link's footsteps are all taught by him, where is the reason that the master is afraid of the apprentice.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't know that Link's footsteps had long been in a league of its own. After all, he also has Grant. Hill's power.

Link pushed his back to the free throw line, and every time he and Kobe Bryant collided, it seemed to create sparks. Hollins was on the sidelines, and the muffled sound of the two men's muscles colliding could be clearly heard.

But even then, neither Link nor Kobe Bryant backed down.

Everyone held their breath, maybe even Kobe didn't expect Link to be so bold. Link doesn't care so much, anyway, he can use this trick to score Kobe Bryant's head in the training hall, what is impossible in the official game?

When Link saw that the position was about the same, he turned over and jumped directly! Kobe didn't expect Link to shoot so decisively, he also thought that Link would do a shoulder shake first, or turn around and make a shooting feint.

But no, Link just turned over and shot!

Kobe Bryant hurriedly took a step forward to block, but Link's angle of leaning back was very large, and Kobe Bryant couldn't reach the ball at all!

"Damn, he didn't have such a big recline angle last time!" Kobe Bryant secretly sighed in his heart that Link's biggest problem with his back play before was actually that the angle of the flip jump shot was not big enough. A lot of his turnaround jumpers don't even have a backhand.

But today, this action, this recline angle...... Kobe Bryant couldn't believe that he had practiced to this point!

No, maybe he had already practiced to this level, but he didn't have the opportunity to show it before...... The outside players who can get the opportunity to play with their backs are usually the absolute core. For example, Kobe Bryant himself, such as Jordan back then, such as Anthony.

And now, Link is the absolute core.

The basketball fell backwards over Kobe's palm, and Kobe immediately turned back, only to see the basketball running straight into the net!

Link was on Kobe's head, using his back to single, and successfully scored!

At that moment, the players on the entire Grizzlies bench waved their towels like crazy. Jimmy. Butler was often tortured by this trick on the training ground, and now, Link is finally using it to torture others.

On the contrary, it was Link himself, who was not too excited after the goal, but just raised his right fist hard, and then looked fierce. It's as if he didn't defeat Kobe, but a random shrimp soldier and crab general.

Looking at Link's expression, for a moment, about two or three seconds, Bryant felt as if he was back in Chicago on December 17, 1996.

On that day, an 18-year-old boy was so preoccupied with how to destroy his opponent that he didn't care if his opponent was a "god" or not.

And today, Kobe Bryant seems to see the figure of the No. 8 kid in Link......
