696: The boy? I deducted it
Seeing Link appear, everyone was scared. Antetokounmpo was the only one who was more excited than just now.
After all, in the first quarter of the game, Link only scored 6 points on Antetokounmpo's head. And these 6 points are all obtained through relatively gentle shooting.
As a result, Link didn't actually put too much pressure on Antetokounmpo. There is no doubt that this situation has made the Greeks confident in themselves.
He firmly believes that he can play as well as he did in the second quarter!
"In the eighth minute of the second quarter, Link finally came on. The Grizzlies are currently trailing by seven points, and the situation is still very serious. I wonder if Link will be able to perform well enough after playing again? ”
The on-site commentary is also a little nervous, if Link finds his usual state, let alone 7 points, even 17 points can be recovered.
The game resumes with the Grizzlies' offensive round. While Conley and Randolph were serving the ball, Link spoke the first thing on the court to Antetokounmpo about the start of the game.
"Janis."
"Huh?" Antetokounmpo looked at Link, but he still didn't forget to press closely.
"Do you think it's easy to beat me?"
After saying that, Link suddenly ran to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, as if he wanted to make a hand-to-hand with Conley.
Antetokounmpo immediately followed, but he had just run two steps, and Link, who was originally sprinting with all his strength, suddenly turned around with Antetokounmpo as the axis, shook off Antetokounmpo and cut inside!
Antetokounmpo's mouth opened wide, what was the reverse run that Link just now? How perverted does it take to change direction and body posture so smoothly while sprinting at full speed?
Link's counterrun was indeed very sudden, and don't forget that Link started off the ball in the first place. Seeing that Antetokounmpo was completely thrown away, Conley had nothing to scrum about.
He threw the basketball net directly at the person, and Link tacitly jumped with both feet and caught the basketball in the air!
Since Link's cut was very abrupt, Larry. Sanders and John. Henson's two elders didn't have time to react at all.
These two athletic insiders watched Link catch the basketball steadily in the air, and then smashed the dunk with both hands!
"Boom!"
The hoop made a loud bang, as if it had awakened everyone in the Bradley Center from their fantasies.
Link dunked and slapped the rebound hard before finally letting go. The grievances accumulated from last night to the present have finally been vented!
"Link made a slam dunk as soon as he came on the court, and he seemed to be rejuvenated! That's not good news for the Bucks. If Link does regain his vitality, the Bucks' best hope of beating the league will most likely be shattered! ”
The narrator couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he spoke.
Link, it seems, is angry.
After Link's goal, he winked at Antetokounmpo, who was still confused.
Your idol, I, am not so easy to be knocked down!
"Janis, up, up!" Off the court, Larry. Drew yelled at Antetokounmpo.
Seeing Link so energetic, Larry. Drube is in a hurry for everyone. Of course, he knew that if it weren't for the Grizzlies' poor physical condition today, the Bucks wouldn't have had a chance to play this far.
Now that Link is showing signs of recovery, the Bucks' top priority is to consume Link's recovered physical energy as soon as possible!
So the next round, Larry. Drew wants Antetokounmpo to attack. Keeping Link idle on the defensive end is the fastest way to wear down Link.
So the next round, Brandon. Knight took the initiative to hit the ball to his little Greek brother. Antetokounmpo borrowed Henson's cover to accelerate the breakthrough, and in the first quarter of the game, he hit Link in this way a few times, and all of them succeeded.
The reason for this success in the first quarter was that Link couldn't keep up with Antetokounmpo at the time.
But now it was different, Link was very nimble enough to get around cover and stay close behind Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo isn't good on the dribble right now, but he's got a big stride. Someone else had to dribble the ball several times, and he stepped into the penalty area in two big steps. The low number of dribbles naturally masks his shortcomings in this regard.
After entering the penalty area, Antetokounmpo took advantage of Gasol's lack of defense to come back, jumped high, held the basketball in his right arm, and prepared to dunk!
It's refreshing to be able to dunk on Link's head again!
Just as Antetokounmpo smiled in the air, Link's roar rang in his ears.
"You don't think you can get out safely if you block me once in the first quarter, do you?"
Another question made Antetokounmpo's smile come to an abrupt end, and he forgot that Link was a very vindictive person.
"Smack!"
Before Antetokounmpo's arm could exert his strength, the basketball was slammed from behind by Link!
Off the court, Larry. Drew was stunned. Antetokounmpo's height is not low just now, and even many big centers have a hard time blocking Antetokounmpo.
However, Link was stunned to give Antetokounmpo a big blow! He just jumped at a height that even made Larry. Drew wondered if Link was hanging Weia.
Does this seem like the work of people with poor physical strength?
After the basketball was slapped out by Link, it hit the rebound hard and bounced back into the hands of Iguodala, who was quick to shoot.
However, the Bucks' retreat was very timely, including Larry. Sanders and John. Henson's two big guys also retreated very quickly.
As a result, the Grizzlies didn't get a chance to fight back.
It can be seen that the Bucks players have a pile of unbelievable expressions on their faces. Antetokounmpo was actually chased? How is this possible!?
In training, John Brown, who is 2.11 meters tall, is 2.11 meters tall. Both Henson and Sanders will have a hard time trying to block Antetokounmpo. But the 2.03-meter-tall Link was stunned to do it, or chased it!
Now, the Bucks players are starting to appreciate Link's scaryness.
Including Antetokounmpo!
He now suddenly felt that Link was playing around with himself in the first quarter. Now, Link is just getting his hands dirty.
Instead of playing a fast break, Iguodala ended up giving the ball to Link.
Link stopped at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and made a few gestures.
Antetokounmpo spread his long arms as far as he could, stopping Link's pass. But Link doesn't gesture to pass the ball, it's to open up space for his teammates!
After everyone pulled away, Link dribbled the ball under his hips alternately with his left and right hands, and slowly approached Antetokounmpo.
"Brother Alphabet" adjusted his position in small steps, and for some reason, the closer Link got to it, the more pressure he felt he felt.
This feeling of oppression is something that the Greeks have never experienced so far this season.
Link suddenly slumped his shoulders and accelerated to the right side of Antetokounmpo! Antetokounmpo hurried to follow, and at the same time he reached out his long arm to steal!
But at the moment when Antetokounmpo's finger was about to poke the basketball, Link pulled the ball to the left in time!
Antetokounmpo hurriedly stopped, his brain could react, but his body couldn't.
I saw Brother Alphabet stumble to the right, and by the time he turned around to chase Link, Link had already hit the shot. Link used a nice early change of direction to clean up Antetokounmpo!
scored 4 points in a row, and Link had only been on the court for a few rounds before narrowing the gap of 7 points to only 3 points!
Antetokounmpo still has lingering palpitations, Link just now lured himself to make a steal!
That guy just does what he wants!
"Don't stop, keep playing fast, keep going!" Larry. Drew urged again, and it stands to reason that now he should call a timeout to hold on. Because the Bucks are originally a young team, and the young team is already in a hurry when this happens.
And the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
But instead of calling a timeout for the team and slowing the tempo, Drew let them continue to pick up the pace.
It can only be said that it is really a wise choice for the Bucks to find such a coach to lead everyone to mess up.
At Drew's urging, Knight pushed quickly and hurried through the half.
Before everyone could be seated at half-time, Knight threw an aerial relay to Henson, who cut in from the middle.
The ball was played too hastily, and neither the passer nor the receiver was prepared. So much so that the basketball is not passed high enough, and it is difficult for Henson to pick it up.
But Link solves this problem for Henson, because before Henson can catch the basketball, Link jumps up and cuts the basketball in the air.
After taking on Antetokounmpo, Link made another steal!
Link didn't stop after the steal and immediately counterattacked!
Now the pace is fast, but the Bucks are in chaos. The offense is chaotic, and the defense is even more chaotic.
The continuous offensive and defensive transitions have made the Bucks, who are not already high in defensive literacy, now don't even know who they should defend.
Link then took this opportunity to drive straight into the forbidden area! At this time, it would be nice if someone came out to stop Link on the outside, but no one did.
Before Antetokounmpo could react to what was going on, Link rushed in front of him again.
The Greeks were about to stop Link, but Link suddenly flew into the air as if he had stepped on the soles of his feet!
Under the harsh light, Link seemed to turn into an oppressive black shadow.
Seeing the black shadow getting closer and closer to him, Antetokounmpo, who had just jumped up from the ground, knew that he was finished!
Link collides with Antetokounmpo in the air, and Antetokounmpo is pinned under Link due to insufficient bounce!
So, Link just dunked the basketball into the frame through the tall and arm-length "Greek monster"!
Antetokounmpo was knocked out of the bottom line so far that he couldn't bear the impact as he was emaciated.
After Link landed, he didn't be polite to his little fan brother, but yelled at the Greeks!
Can Link not get excited? This is Antetokounmpo! In the future, when Antetokounmpo starts to wreak havoc on the Alliance, Link can leisurely say to reporters, "That kid? I've stabbed him before. ”
Suddenly, the entire Bradley Center was silent! Everybody knew that, but once Link started taking over, no one could stop him.
Looking at Link who turned away after roaring, Antetokounmpo, who became Link's backdrop, finally remembered his manager Jeff a week ago. Austin's warning to him.
"You don't have to prepare gifts, you don't have to be so excited. Because you'll soon find out that meeting Link isn't anything to be excited about. ”
Now, Antetokounmpo can't get excited.
