627: Reasons to be number one

Split regretted it, he knew that it would be better to let Link deduct it directly.

Not only did it not work, but it also served as a background board.

But speaking of which, Link's jump height just now really scared Split. His height is 2.11 meters, which can be regarded as a high altitude in this era. And just now, Split raised his arms high.

But Link was stunned to lean on himself and buckled, much to Split's surprise.

How high do you have to jump!?

Split didn't continue to think about it, athleticism was not in his scope.

Not only Split, but also the commentators and fans in the stadium were shocked.

It's true that there's no shortage of birds and animals in the NBA, and many of the players here have incredible physicality and athleticism.

But Link is different, and his current athleticism is exaggerated beyond what was expected of him.

When Link first entered the league, he always gave people the feeling of being a teenager and an old man. This "old" refers not only to his excellent judgment, but also to Link's playing habits.

When he first entered the league, Link was a slow and leisurely 3-and-D player, positioned more like a shooter. His killer feature is a catch-and-shoot after a superb run, and he is an experienced defender.

Separate people from the buckle? Impossible, Link seems to be struggling to even dunk. Dribble breakout? At that time, Link was an off-ball player at all and rarely held the ball. Fierce confrontation? The picture of Link being knocked down by James is still vivid.

But gradually, people began to discover that Link was more than just a 3-and-D player. He can hold the ball, he can make a stop-and-go jumper, and he can grit his teeth and use his chest to stop opponents.

He can break through, dunk, chase and take risks, and even perform a dunk show in the desperate eyes of the opposing interior player.

Link is like a suspenseful author, he doesn't unfold his true self at the beginning, but digs step by step, step by step, until the end of the day people exclaim, "Wow, so he can still do this." ”

That's the way it was, Link's violent buckle height was very scary, and Split, who raised his arms high, didn't cause any disturbance to Link at all. It seemed like it would be an easy thing for Link to shackle Split.

No one knows where Link's limits are, and why did ESPN rank Link first? It's because they don't know how strong Link can be in the new season.

Fans can't get enough of it and are looking forward to Link's next performance. In the face of Link's provocation, Leonard didn't say a word, and he didn't even frown.

However, judging from past experience, Link believes that Leonard will change his face sooner or later.

No one in this world is poker face, it's just that he hasn't been beaten yet.

The Spurs' second offense, this time, Link strengthened his defense against Leonard. At the same time, beware of Leonard's counter-run, which Leonard tried to shake off Link several times in this round, but was firmly clamped.

This summer, Link has specifically strengthened his defense. Leonard's easy goal just now was purely an accident!

Seeing that he didn't get his chance, Leonard ran to the bottom right corner to open up space for his teammates.

Parker changed tactics and found Duncan. Duncan vs. Randolph, it's a very advantageous matchup against the Spurs.

Duncan is unhurried, and he's very keen to look for opportunities on the inside. What's more, playing Randolph, Duncan is full of confidence.

The No. 21 rookie approached the basket unhurriedly, and when he saw that the distance was about the same, he turned around and prepared for a jumper!

However, Duncan had just turned his body to the basket when he noticed that Mark . Gasol actively wrapped it up!

Gasol's bag was just right, not too early, not too late. He was desperate to prove that he deserved to be ahead of Duncan.

However, Duncan has always been an old ballruffian, and he is used to this kind of bagging.

In the face of the black and white bears with teeth and claws, Duncan calmly hit the ground and passed!

The basketball passed through the gap between the black and white bears, bounced off the ground, and was delivered to Split!

Gasol went out to wrap Duncan, and Split, who was sitting under the basket and waiting for the cake, had the best offensive opportunity.

As "Mr. Great Basic Skills", Duncan's passing ability has always been not weak. Not only can he finish off, but he's also an excellent starting point.

Split receives the basketball behind the black and white bears, which means that he is facing an empty basket!

Brazilians are so happy, this kind of opportunity is not available all the time. As a blue-collar player, I finally got an opportunity to score a show, how can I let it go easily?

The Brazilian pulled his feet together and took a big step to dunk. At this point, all he had in his eyes was the basket.

Seeing the basket getting closer and closer to him, Split prepared his arms to exert force. But just as he was about to exert his strength, he saw a hand between the basketball and the basket.

"Huh?" Split is a little confused, isn't it unguarded? Wait, it seems that the person who reached out is still wearing the number 0 jersey?

No, no mistake!

"I'm Cao, this ball hurts too much!" Off the court, seeing Link use one hand to block Split's two-handed dunk, Snyder showed a grinning expression.

But his villain's face made him look like he was playing tricks.

Now the Grizzlies players know how so many of Snyder's memes came about.

In reality, however, Link didn't hurt at all. Split was too relaxed, so his hands were not tight. Link slapped hard and flew the basketball between Split's hands.

At the moment when Duncan passed the ball to Split, Link, who was originally guarding Leonard's side, rushed back into the penalty area. People don't know whether to say Split is too slow or Link is too fast.

When Split thought he could easily dunk an empty basket, he had already become the prey of the Bear King.

After being blocked by Link, Split was blocked by Link for a dunk. When he saw the basketball being fanned and the whole court stood up and cheered for Link, Split almost wanted to walk off the court.

This can't be played, it's just a hanging!

'Link was so positive that coming back into the box from the bottom corner was just a momentary moment for Link. Beautiful blocks, in front of Link's explosive bounce ability, Split's dunk was unthreatening. ”

The basketball was fanned, and Iguodala rushed up to pick up the ball and took advantage of the momentum to break quickly.

This kind of switching attack is Iguodala's forte. Face Danny. Green's entanglement, Iguodala leans on the opponent and forces a layup.

Although he fell in the air due to an unstable center of gravity, the basketball fell steadily into the net. Green's confrontation was not enough to deform Iguodala's movements.

The reputation of the best two masters is not something that everyone can have.

4-3, the Grizzlies completely overpowered the Spurs from momentum. Link's continuous wonderful performances have made Spurs fans shut up.

Durant was blown up, and there is indeed a reason why he is not in the best condition. But Link's strength cannot be ignored either.

Dave. Joggle didn't have Snyder's exaggerated facial expression, he just slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and he had a confident expression.

Before the game began, there were concerns that the Grizzlies' coaching staff would not be able to withstand the Vicky thief's throw. But the truth is that with Link, a very dominant player, on the field, the two teams can't fight to the point of fighting for the coach!

Joggel only needs to create a comfortable environment for Link, and the rest is to watch Link perform.

With a dunk and a dunk block, Split has been completely shut up by Link. Of course, Link also took advantage of these two rounds to experience his current explosive athleticism.

This isn't Hill's top form, if he is promoted to his peak, then what will he do?

Now, Link has a more intuitive understanding of why Hill is called Jordan's successor.

The Spurs remained unhurried and weren't carried away by Link's back-to-back performances. Parker tried to break through the box on his own this time, but was stopped by Gasol's well-placed assist.

When Gasol raised his arms to block Parker's breakthrough, it was as if there was suddenly a mountain in front of Parker's eyes.

In the end, Parker hurriedly threw out the frame, Randolph took the rebound, and the Grizzlies attacked again!

Popovich nervously stood up, the Grizzlies were so good defensively! Even if you avoid Link, there are still not many opportunities. Last season, the Spurs had the fourth-best true shooting percentage in the league. Second only to the Thunder, Grizzlies and Heat.

It stands to reason that the offensive efficiency is among the best in the league.

But in this game, just in the first few rounds, the Spurs' offense began to be spicy.

The Grizzlies' offense was still the same as before, unhurried, but even so, Leonard still stayed by Link's side in advance. Although the Spurs are in a bad position right now, the good news is that Link has only scored two points so far, and Leonard wants to keep it that way.

As long as Link doesn't turn on scoring mode, Spurs have a chance!

Link received a pass from Conley outside the three-point line on the right side, and Link easily faced Leonard after holding the ball, moving his lips, "Remember what position this is?" ”

After saying that, Link accelerated to break through! He doesn't need Leonard to answer questions, but will use his strength to get Leonard answers.

Leonard's defense was perfect, and the first block was in the right direction. He won't allow Link to break through so easily, he's already very different from the previous two years!

Just as Leonard was about to give Link a stronger confrontation, the moving Link suddenly retreated and retreated outside the three-point line.

"Step back, Link makes a direct three-point shot!"

Mike. Brin wasn't surprised by Link's choice, as step-back jumpers were a common tactic for Link late last season.

Leonard blocked as much as he could, and he pushed his long-arm advantage to the limit.

But Link's retreat was so great that he was almost one step away from the three-point line after retreating, and Leonard couldn't do 100 percent of the block.

But even so, Leonard's defense is quite tight, and Link is still shooting on the defense!

Popovich smiled to himself, did Link really think he was the number one in the league? This kind of ball dares to play.

Just as Popovich was about to command the attack, he heard a "brush".

The old thief turned his head to look, only to see that the Nets were tumbling, and Link was saying something to Leonard.

"Remember? That's where you just scored three points, and now, it's back to you! In your face ,baby! ”

Watching Link arrogantly spew trash talk at Leonard, the Grizzlies fans collectively climaxed.

That's their king, that's their villain champion, that's their FMVP.

That's why he's number one!

Popovich hung his head helplessly, trying to turn the game, and it seemed that he had to wait for Link to get off the court.
