One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight: Continuous Exchanges

Anthony Davis' beautiful one-stop layup made the fans in the Staples Center cheer.

Although they have been waiting for Davis for a long time, they have been waiting since the middle of last season.

However, it turns out that all the waiting was worth it.

Davis has lived up to everyone's expectations. With him, the Lakers truly have the confidence to challenge the Grizzlies.

"Anthony Davis is definitely one of the most talented players among active players, and he is not yet 27 years old, and his peak period is still long! Davis has never brought such a big impact to Link. It’s a threat, and Link can’t personally defend Davis today.”

Mike Breen still remembers that when the Grizzlies and Pelicans played against each other in the past, if Harrell and the others couldn't guard Davis, Link would personally take action.

But that doesn't work anymore. If Link defends Davis, James will be freed again.

Although James has entered a period of personal decline, there are still only a handful of players in the league who can truly compete with him.

In the past, the Grizzlies could still send Iguodala to fight James. But now Iguodala is also very difficult to defend James.

It looked like the Grizzlies were in a dead end. Lakers fans probably couldn't wait to see a bloody massacre.

The Grizzlies attacked, and this time, Conley quickly handed the ball to Link after halftime.

Link got the basketball on the right side of the court and waved to his teammates.

Suddenly, the Lakers fans at the scene became nervous.

Link is going solo!

After Davies scored a great goal, Link wanted to respond immediately.

James and Link were one-on-one, which was a scene that often played out in the finals that year.

But no matter how many times they watch it, fans will never get bored of this matchup.

But James was surprised that Link actually started scoring mode so early.

It seems that the Lakers did put a lot of pressure on Link, so that Link had to take action personally.

Link didn't want the Lakers to find confidence as soon as he came on.

If the Lakers are allowed to play smoothly, the game will be really difficult.

Therefore, after Anthony Davis played a beautiful block and then made a one-stop layup, Link also had to respond in order to stabilize the situation.

At this time, it's time for the star player to step up and solve the problem!

This is what superstar players do when they get so much more money than anyone else every year.

James tensed his nerves, knowing very well that he was now at a disadvantage. His body is no longer as fast or as strong as it used to be.

Link made several triple threat moves, and James' center of gravity swayed with Link's fake moves.

Just when people were guessing what kind of move Link would use to pass James, he just simply and roughly accelerated towards James' right side.

In the past, Link would have been roughly stopped by James in this situation. Using simple and crude methods to deal with James often doesn't work.

After all, James himself has achieved simplicity and roughness to the extreme.

But this time, seeing Link speeding up, James found it very difficult to turn around and pursue him.

His mind knew he had to stop Link immediately and react immediately, but his body couldn't keep up!

Just like a classic car, even if you step on the accelerator into the fuel tank, you can't beat the Porsche.

James watched helplessly as Link passed him quickly, but his feet seemed to be filled with lead and he couldn't lift them up.

Laker No. 23 opened his mouth, but Link was still as fast as when he first played in the Finals.

No, it seems to be faster!

In Link, you can't see the impact of aging on him at all.

How on earth did this guy do it! ?

The whole audience exclaimed. No one could believe that LeBron James was passed by Link in one step.

Selected to the All-Defensive Team 6 times, 5 of which were the All-Defensive Team.

LeBron James' defense has never been his shortcoming.

However, such a strong defensive player in everyone's mind was easily thrown away by Link in just one step.

James' condition declined faster than people imagined, but Link's condition maintained better than people imagined.

Although he is already in his thirties, Link is still the player with the fastest first step in the league!

In the face of the absolute speed advantage, any defensive skills are useless.

Easily getting rid of James, Link made a mid-range jumper.

Anthony Davis rushed forward, but Link's shot was very fast and did not give Davis a chance to interfere with the shot.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary pull-up jump shot.

But after this round, many Lakers fans were extremely heartbroken.

Now the gap between LeBron James and Link has become wider and wider...

When it comes to falling off the altar, James is called falling off the altar.

After scoring, Link opened his hands to James and Davis, saying that he scored very easily.

He was telling Davis: "Put away your unrealistic fantasies. You couldn't beat me before, and it's impossible for you to win now."

As soon as the game started, the stars from both sides were at odds.

Subsequently, Davis attacked with the ball again. Today, Davis' offensive attack was very strong.

He didn't want to continue to be stepped on by Link.

This time, Gasol did not allow Davis to easily layup, but gave him great interference.

But in the end, the move was too big, and the referee called a defensive foul.

Davis stood on the free throw line, made two free throws, and continued to score!

Joger gritted his teeth on the sidelines. Originally, the Grizzlies were short of a major general at the fourth position today due to Green's injury. If Gasol gets into foul trouble again, he will be even more passive.

On the other side, Lakers coach Frank Vogel had a confident smile on his face.

Indeed, in that round just now, Link had let the world see how far behind James was now.

But that's LeBron James after all.

No matter how bad James is, he can't let Link continue to do whatever he wants.

As the greatest superstar of this era, James has his own character, and he will definitely find a way to contain Link.

But Davis is different. In front of the two brothers Gasol and Morris, he can do whatever he wants!

Davis is an absolute talent crusher on the Grizzlies player at the fourth position!

If they want to score points, the Lakers are really not afraid of the Grizzlies today. If Link and Davis were just playing ball-for-ball today, then it would definitely be Davis who scored more in the end.

Soon, after Jokic moved McGee, the frame protector, away from the outside, he supported the ball from the high post and gave the ball to Link, who cut from the baseline.

After receiving the ball, Link made a reverse layup. Since there was a basket in the middle, James, who was chasing Link, was completely helpless against the ball.

And just now, Link easily ran away from James.

It was the first time that James was so powerless.

But not long after Link scored, Anthony Davis responded again.

This time, he was originally in a position inside and suddenly pushed Gasol and then ran outside the three-point line.

James delivered the ball to Davis very tacitly. Lao James' "bullet pass" was very powerful and fast.

Therefore, when Davis received the basketball and shot a three-pointer, Gasol was only halfway there.

After two consecutive low-post hits, Davis also showed off his fiery three-point touch today.

The first time he took a three-point shot today, Davis made it steadily!

Davis' three-point shooting percentage has remained above 33% for three consecutive seasons, which is considered relatively stable.

After scoring 7 points in a row, Anthony Davis was completely invincible today.

Gasol was too slow in front of Davis, and the Spaniard couldn't keep up with Davis' rhythm.

This time, the point difference became three points. Even if Link scored another two-pointer, the Grizzlies were still behind.

Davis wanted to see how Link would continue to score this time! James was also ready to fight hard. No matter what, Link must be clamped this round.

In this attack, Conley passed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic lurked outside the three-point line in this round, preparing to shoot a cold shot and also shoot a three-pointer.

But before the game, McGee was told not to let Jokic go even half a step. No matter how much he likes to stay under the basket, he must press Jokic closely today.

McGee did as he was told, knowing how good Jokic was. As long as that big white fat man seizes the slightest opening, he can always use various weird postures to shoot three-pointers. You must not be careless.

Therefore, Jokic did not get a shot. As soon as he caught the basketball, he was stuck by McGee.

Jokic could only hold the basketball high and wait for an opportunity to pass the ball.

Link seemed to understand Jokic's eyes. Link, who was originally moving to Jokic's side, suddenly shook his shoulder in the opposite direction.

James, who was nervous, thought that Link was going to run back again. He was thrown away by Link's running back in that round just now.

So James immediately changed his focus and prepared to follow up quickly.

However, just when James was about to move to the other side, Link suddenly ran towards Jokic again.

Just now, he only made a shoulder-shaking fake move. Even when Link is running without the ball, he has a lot of fake moves.

After being dodged by Link, James was completely thrown away. It was already difficult for Lao Zhan to change his focus immediately, but it was impossible for him to do this twice in a row.

Lin approached Jokic, received the basketball, and then dove into the penalty area.

James' performance so far today can only give people the feeling of being embarrassed in one word.

Now, he is basically being played by Link.

Seeing this situation, Davis immediately rushed towards the penalty area. Since James couldn't guard him, he would help James guard him!

No matter what, Link must not be allowed to continue to score.

Link was not afraid of Davis, but bravely took off from the front for a layup.

Davis jumped up immediately. His height and wingspan were extremely threatening even to Link.

At the same time, James also chased after him. Even though James is old, he is still one of the best risk-taking players in the league.

The Lakers' two strongest forwards were both in the air, preparing to block Link!

No one can survive being blocked by these two guys at the same time.

Of course, if it is "God", it is a different story.

Link stretched his hand to the right side of the basket in the air, but just when James and Davis' hands were about to cover the basketball, Link's arm that was rising slowly suddenly stopped, and he took the ball back again, and then Switched to his right hand and made a layup from the right!

At that moment, Link seemed to be hovering in the air! In a real sense, he threw himself up first and then thought about his next move!

Link's ability to stay in the air always allows him to create incredible shots in the air. The most important thing is that at the age of 32, he still has the ability to stay in the air like a 20-year-old boy.

Finally, Link switched the ball to his right hand and gently picked it up, then put the basketball into the frame.

James chased too hard and knocked Link down directly, and was called for a defensive foul.

Link used a surprising hand change in the air to win a 2+1 opportunity!

If the extra free throw is made, the Grizzlies will equalize the score again!

Seeing Link getting up as if nothing had happened after his fall, Anthony Davis couldn't help but swallowed when he thought of what had just happened in the air.

It seemed like no matter how he scored, Link could always quickly follow up. This sense of oppression makes Davis extremely afraid of missing!

Because as long as he stops for a moment, Lian will be overtaken by Link.

On the sidelines, Lakers coach Frank Vogel's confident smile also disappeared.

At first, he thought that Link couldn't score as much as he wanted on James.

But now, he must put a big question mark in his heart.

Can Davis really compete with Link in scoring? Can James really contain Link effectively?

Vogel pouted, he was panicking now.
