As the game came to an end, the atmosphere at the Federal Express Arena had gradually cooled down, and it was far less enthusiastic than it had been at the beginning of the game.

Link sat on the bench, leaning back in his chair relaxedly. He really couldn't understand why the Pelicans could get so much attention.

They're not tough to deal with!

Anthony. Davis stood on the inside panting, ready to help. But he is now quite low, both in terms of physical fitness and morale. The last three quarters of the game have been almost torture for him.

Between the electric and flint, Mike. Conley smashes into the box and makes a quick layup. If it's the first quarter, Davis will definitely do his best to block Conley and let the Grizzlies players know that they are not soft persimmons. But now, Davis just made a ceremonial jump.

He doesn't want to work so hard, even if this ball is blocked, what can he do? This game has already been decided.

Conley made a layup, Anthony. Davis's speed seems to be much slower than before. The game ended with 1:25 left and the New Orleans Pelicans ...... 16 points behind! ”

16 minutes, 1 and a half minutes. For the Pelicans, it's an almost insurmountable gap.

Ever since Link began to play against Davis in the second quarter, the Pelicans have been overwhelmed. Link used his superb defensive skills and all-round skills to make the young Davis unable to find the north. The margin was widened, and the Pelicans were powerless to catch up.

When the Pelicans' magical aura faded, it was discovered that the team wasn't that scary. Peeling back the appearance of three consecutive wins and defeating the Heat, panic, poor tactical execution, poor offensive stability, etc., these are the problems of almost every young team, and the Pelicans also have them.

Under the Grizzly Bears, the Pelicans have a sense of being unified.

Monty. Williams called a timeout again. T was finally able to play a comparison of Link's and Davis' stats today under the TV.

Link's performance in the first quarter of the game today was average and transparent. But from the second quarter onwards, the score began to skyrocket. Davis was just the opposite, in the first quarter of the game, he scored 8 points in a single quarter, flying away, and playing so lively. But in the next three verses, it's hard to say.

27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, this is Link's stats. 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals. Davis's data.

At first glance, Anthony. Davis: That's a terrible statistic. Not to mention the quasi-20+10, he also won 3 steals and 3 blocks, which is simply all-round!

But Davis has only made 5 of 14 shots so far, with a 35.7% shooting rate, which is really a bit spicy. And as many as 4 mistakes also highlighted his embarrassment.

To put it bluntly, Davis's scoring in the second three quarters was basically won by free throws. With Link's defence, he didn't score a lot of serious athletic goals.

Davis's efficiency rendered his apparently excellent stats worthless. What's more, the Pelicans are still in a backward position, which makes Davis's performance nothing to praise.

That one beat LeBron. James's supernova didn't taste any sweetness when it came to Link's head.

After the timeout, Link was still on the bench. Dave. Joggle is confident, and he believes that this game has gone into garbage time. No coach would send his own star in garbage time.

Sure enough, in the last minute and a half, the Pelicans, who had long been beaten to the point of losing their spirits, did not organize any threatening offense at all. Anthony. Davis didn't have any other stats other than grabbing an extra rebound.

Relying on the excellent performance of Gordon, Holiday and Evans, the Pelicans finally scored 99 points under the tight defense of the Grizzlies.

But the Grizzlies' 113 points sentenced the Pelicans to death.

At 113-99, the Pelicans' three-game winning streak was ended. Davis's magical aura is extinguished! The Memphis Grizzlies, on the other hand, continue to be undefeated!

"It's over, the Grizzlies have a thrill to win. Although something went wrong in the first quarter, the Grizzlies were in complete control of the pace of the game for the next three quarters. Link performed very well, facing Anthony, who was five centimeters taller than him. Davis, he's not left behind at all! ”

"Davis is still too young, and of course, Link is also young, but Davis is more immature than Link."

At the end of the race, Link received unanimous praise from everyone. Judging from the performance of this game, the gap between Link and Davis is huge.

Charles. Barkley was even more blunt, "It was a mistake to compare Link to Davis in the first place. Link is the defending champion, and Davis hasn't even tasted what the playoffs are like. The duel between these two people will not have any suspense. ”

James, who was sitting at home watching this game, was embarrassed by cancer, and now the harder people praise Qualink, the worse James feels like he fell!

After the game, Link accepted. Interview with a reporter on the sidelines. When asked "Beat Anthony. How Davis feels", Link just waved his hand.

"To be honest, nothing special. I said I was going to beat him, but no one believed him at the time. ”

Link's contemptuous expression made the fans who already hated him hate him even more.

Why is this guy so bad!?

On the other side, Anthony. Davis has also become a favorite among journalists. But compared to the scenery of the previous three games, Davis is in an awkward position today.

"Davis, can you comment on Link's defense? He almost halted your offense for the next three quarters, do you think that's a reflection of the huge gap between you and Link? ”

"What did Link say to you on the pitch? Did his trash talk affect your play? ”

"AD, who do you think is harder to play against, Link or LeBron? Did you feel disappointed by losing to Link? ”

In the face of reporters' pressed questions, Davis couldn't answer a word.

Disappointed? Of course disappointed. But what disappointed him was not the result, but the process.

If he and Link play a five-to-five game today but the Pelicans lose, Davis reckons that he will not be so disappointed. But the whole process, Davis felt like he was being crushed!

Defensively, Link follows him like a shadow. As long as you have the slightest slackness, mistakes will happen.

On the offensive end, Link is an all-around fighter. Even after playing against James, Davis still sighed today, "How can a player be so comprehensive!" ”

In the last game, Davis only played against James for a few rounds, which made him think he already had what it took to face off against a superstar.

But today, after three quarters of opposition to Link, Davis let go of that unrealistic fantasy.

In front of Link, he wasn't a threat at all. What kind of awe-inspiring champion ...... In front of Link, who lost the draft, he is worthless!

At the post-match press conference, Anthony . Davis was still pestered to ask all sorts of questions about Link.

It can't be helped, that's the price of losing and gaining popularity. Before the game, how hot the game was. After the loss, Davis faced a lot of criticism.

"Link played great today, really good, I've never played against such a tough opponent. He's at a height disadvantage, but he's going to do everything he can to keep me from scoring. And on the offensive end, I can't do anything with him! As Link said before the game, I came to visit the championship pennant today, and then I took a look at how the championship played. We still have a long way to go, and today's game has benefited me a lot. ”

Davis was overwhelmed and finally took the initiative to say such a weak word at the press conference. The smug gesture before the game disappeared in an instant.

The day after the game, Charles. Barkley summed up Davis's remarks on his Twitter.

"Davis' remarks at the press conference yesterday translated, I, Anthony. Davis, is one of the best players on the planet! As for Link? He doesn't belong to this planet at all! ”

Barkley played a joke of his own, and once, he was also subdued by others like this, and then he praised his opponent with the same words.

As for the guy who beat Barkley out of temper, his jersey is now hanging on the dome of the United Centre.

Charles. Barkley was in Link, and saw the shadow that belonged to that guy.
