Bryant. Bryant didn't give in, even though Link was almost 10 years younger than him, but he didn't give up his resistance.

No. 24, who wore a golden jersey, once again held the ball with his back, and he didn't want to be beaten by young people like Jordan in his twilight years.

Kevin. He can handle Durant, so why can't he do the same with Link?

Seeing Kobe Bryant holding the ball again, even Grizzlies fans were particularly excited. There is no doubt that this will be the most classic matchup of Kobe Bryant and Link's careers.

It's more classic than the previous game when Link turned over and made a jumper to beat Kobe!

Because there's so much in this game.

Kobe Bryant is like an emperor who is unwilling to be destroyed like this, making a desperate resistance. Last season, the Lakers fell unexpectedly, and Kobe Bryant was reimbursed for the season, and the Grizzlies won the championship.

Before Kobe could react to what was happening, the world changed.

Going from being a title contender to having to work hard for the playoffs is really hard to accept with Kobe's personality.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant is desperate to protect his last glory. He was not reconciled, unwilling to be kicked out of the ranks of championship contenders.

Kobe Bryant knows that he doesn't have a chance to meet a championship a few times in a season, so he cherishes every opportunity to beat a championship.

He wanted to make himself look less dated.

Even now, five minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, Link has scored 40 points!

Bryant rolled over and leaned back, which was the most effective way for him to deal with Link right now.

When Bryant jumped backwards in the air, he even had a noticeable stagnation.

It is said that Kobe Bryant's athleticism has greatly decreased after his Achilles tendon rupture, but in fact, he is still one of the best players in the world.

The basketball eventually jumped into the net under Link's interference, and Bryant scored his 21st point of the game.

21 to 40, less than five minutes. If you have to judge, the current Kobe Bryant is no different from Jordan in 2003, he will definitely lose! Jordan lost to the young No. 8 at the time, and today, Kobe Bryant will be in the hands of another young No. 0.

But the reason why Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant is because his aversion to defeat has reached a perverted level!

"Kobe. Bryant scored another 21st point, and he was still a formidable scorer. But right now, the Lakers are still trailing by 12 points, and they don't have much time left. ”

Hubi. Brown looked at the point difference, and the Grizzlies were still safe.

Since Link scored 11 points in the first quarter, he has been out of control. In the second and third quarters, Link was also in control of the situation. Jump shots, breakaways, dunks, Link is omnipotent, wantonly showing his all-round scoring skills.

The last time Link scored 30 points in a single game was half a month ago against the Houston Rockets.

But today, Link is no longer humble. He wants to prove that he can be the king of votes, and not just because of the color of his skin. His loss to the Thunder in the last game doesn't mean the Grizzlies are in trouble.

Although Kobe Bryant performed extremely bravely, the score went up to 20 again. But in front of Link's explosive scoring performance, Bryant's 21 points also looked very weak.

However, the persistence of Kobe and Gasol has allowed the Lakers to survive until now. With 12 points behind, this is indeed a big gap, but it is not an insurmountable gap.

Kobe Bryant believes that he still has a chance to live!

Bryant was still noticeably stuck in the air on a step-back jumper, much to Link's surprise. Kobe Bryant's current state is much better than Jordan, who was 40 years old in 2003.

Now, the players all over the Lakers are nervous. Because they know that after Kobe Bryant just scored that goal, Link will definitely retaliate!

A player who has scored 40 points before the game is over is a pressure on the defender.

As soon as Link ran outside the three-point line, it was obvious that all three players around him had moved sideways towards him, ready to close at any moment.

Link was unhurried and let Conley and Randolph fight their own cooperation first. The purpose is simple, to force others to stay away from themselves.

When Meeks had to chase down Conley, and Gasol was transferred out of the box by Randolph, Conley very tacitly passed the ball out of the crack and into Link's hands!

Link smiled, Conley was a roundworm in his stomach. If you can have a point guard teammate who is highly consistent with your own thinking, you can do everything with half the effort.

Seeing Link receive the basketball, Bryant was not surprised. He was ready to drop back and he knew Link would definitely take advantage of Gasol's absence in the box to break through.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast, Link will speed up immediately! Kobe Bryant was very well prepared, so he retreated in a timely manner.

But Link's impact was so strong that Kobe Bryant felt a little overwhelmed.

Bryant held his breath and fought with Link with all his might. In any case, Kobe Bryant will never admit defeat!

But in the heat of confrontation, Bryant felt that he was gradually unable to keep up with Link's speed. In the end, Bryant unfortunately fell in parallel with a fast run and a fierce confrontation.

The referee could clearly see that Kobe Bryant fell on his own, and Link did not make any foul moves. So, there was no pause for the game.

Just like that, Kobe Bryant fell to the ground in embarrassment and was thrown away by Link. Link hit an easy layup to score his 42nd point of the game.

42-21, Link beats Kobe! Moreover, he won with Kobe Bryant almost the whole time.

The gold content of this game is higher than that of Kobe Bryant's "abusive" Jordan game in 2003!

14 minutes apart, 4 and a half minutes, 21-44.

Bryant lay on the floor, staring at the glare of the overhead light, and didn't get up for the first time.

He suddenly felt so tired, so tired, that he wished he could lie on the floor a little longer. He fought from 1996 to 2014, and his opponents changed from Jordan, Iverson, and James to Link.

He'd used all the strength of his body, and this time, he didn't feel like he was able to turn the tide.

Bryant just lay on the floor, enjoying a brief moment of silence. He suddenly realized that it seemed quite good to enjoy the game without fighting......

Even if you want to grab it, you can't win against these young people.

Kobe Bryant would never have imagined that the first person who appeared in front of him after he fell was not Gasol, but Link, who had just knocked him down.

After Link's layup, he immediately walked up to Kobe, bent over, and stretched out his right hand to Kobe, "The war is over, man, admit it." ”

Bryant smiled, smiling at Link for the first time today. Because, as Link said, the war is over. It's hard to imagine what it would be like to have Kobe throw in the towel, but now Kobe himself knows very well that he can no longer compete with Link for anything.

Kobe Bryant took Link's hand and the two great players held each other tightly. Kobe Bryant seemed to have passed the king's scepter, which symbolized glory, that he had received from Jordan to Link's hand.

"If you hurt me, won't you take care of the old man?"

Link, who scored 42 points, didn't say anything, just hugged Kobe Bryant gently. This supergiant duel, which was originally full of gunpowder, instantly became warm.

Link, if he heard him right, Kobe Bryant just called himself - old man.

The arrogant Black Mamba had to bow his proud head in the face of time.

In the ensuing game, Bryant's attack was not as ferocious as it had just been. Link is also no longer brutal and has begun to give his teammates more attacking possession.

Although the game is not over yet, just now, the war between Link and Kobe Bryant has ended early.

Bill. Simmons turned off the TV in a frustration, he couldn't imagine that Kobe, who had just fought with Durant to the last moment, actually compromised in front of Link!

What the hell! Sure enough, you can't expect anything from any Lakers player!

For the next five minutes, Link and Kobe Bryant were playing more like enjoying the game. Kobe Bryant enjoyed the few moments he had with high-level players, while Link enjoyed the thrill of looking down on Kobe.

In the end, the full-time game ended with the Lakers' loss. Link blasted 45 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, leading the Grizzlies to stop the bleeding at 98 at home and avoid a losing streak.

And Link's 45 points and Kobe's 26 points are more than a star and a half more. This game is not just a victory for the Grizzlies and Lakers. At the same time, it is also Link's absolute victory over Kobe!

Whether Lakers fans accept this result or not, Kobe himself has accepted this fact.

After the game, Bryant and Link hugged each other tightly. Surrounded by cameras, the two of them were the only focal point on the pitch.

The day after the game, the famous sideline reporter David . Aldridge exposed what Kobe Bryant was talking in Link's ear.

"Bryant told Link that now you're the All-Star vote king. Don't care what people on the outside world say, just keep going. In the end, your grades will naturally shut them up. Come on, the position of the ticket king is given to you. ”

No one believed that someone like Kobe would say such a thing. Everyone thinks that David. Aldridge made it up all for the sake of attracting attention.

In this regard, Kobe Bryant was also questioned by reporters, asking if he really said that to Link.

Kobe Bryant didn't answer yes or no directly, he just said lightly, "Why don't you interview the All-Star ticket king?" ”

The Lakers No. 24 spread his hands easily, and the story of this league is no longer written by him.
