One Thousand Three Hundred and Twelve: The Grizzly Temperament that Goes Deep Into the Bone Marrow.

The Grizzlies fumbled on their first possession of the second quarter.

Derrick Rose broke into the penalty area and relied on Bradley to attack the frame, but was hit head-on by Anthony Davis who came from defense.

In the end, Rose fell heavily off the baseline and naturally failed to hit the basketball.

The moment Rose fell, everyone was worried, fearing that the No. 1 pick who had finally been reborn would fall into the hell of injuries again.

Fortunately, Rose got up immediately and was not injured.

But it can also be seen from this defense that the Lakers really have no intention of leaving any chance to the Grizzlies.

Not only will they not show mercy to the Grizzlies' lineup, but they will even try to kill them!

To open up the score as soon as possible, this is what the Lakers want now.

After successfully preventing Rose's layup, Anthony Davis launched a counterattack with a long pass from the backcourt. The Lakers' offense was very aggressive.

James received the basketball near the midfield line, and Iguodala immediately pressed forward.

But James did not intend to force Iguodala. After receiving the ball, he immediately passed it out. The target was Kyle Kuzma who had already cut to the basket from the other side!

Although Kuzma is not very good at defense, his scoring ability is unquestionable.

Although Kuzma's scoring average this season has dropped to a career low, you have to know that Kuzma can't even get 25 minutes of playing time this season.

The decline in points per game is understandable.

When Kuzma caught the basketball, he had already shaken off Markieff Morris, and all that was left was to hit the basket!

This No. 0 forward, who is very popular in Los Angeles, immediately burst into flames. He thought he could fire the first shot of the Lakers' counterattack.

But he didn't realize that Dwight Howard, the former beast in the penalty area, was rushing up behind him.

Kuzma's athletic ability is very average, and his jumping and speed are not at the top level.

So as soon as his feet left the ground, Howard hit Kuzma from behind.

There was a burst of exclamation from the Staples Center. They thought they could do whatever they wanted in the second quarter. Unexpectedly, the attack failed again!

"Beautiful block, Dwight Howard is trying to protect the Grizzlies' last slight advantage. The Lakers' offense is blocked, this is what the Grizzlies want to see!"

Howard screamed to the sky. He may be one of the most physically fit players in this Grizzlies team.

Because Howard is the Grizzlies' third center, he doesn't have much playing time. Yesterday, Howard played a total of 13 minutes against the Bucks.

Therefore, back-to-back games do not have a great impact on Howard.

Under the Grizzlies' lifeless defense today, Howard's block undoubtedly injected a little vitality into the Grizzlies' defense.

Link wanted to stand up and cheer for Howard, but he didn't have the energy. Although Howard cannot stop the Lakers' attack every time, it is excellent for the Grizzlies to disrupt an offense now.

Their task is not to get a lead by many points, but just not to be left behind by the Lakers.

Speaking of which, last summer even Link himself was a little reluctant to join Howard.

Unexpectedly, Howard has now become a worthy partner.

Howard's block made the Lakers temper their arrogance a little. They discovered that this was not a full-level number entering the rookie village at all.

Even if Link is away, the Grizzly Bear's tenacity will not change.

Rose struggling to break through, Howard struggling to pursue defense...the indomitable temperament of this team has been deeply rooted in the bones.

Basketball goes out of bounds,

It's still the Lakers' ball.

On the next goal, Anthony Davis chose to hit the inside. But under the double-team of Howard and Markieff Morris, "Thick Eyebrow" failed to hit the close shot.

The Lakers' first offense was completely wasted.

The Grizzlies attacked again, and Carter took a feint shot after receiving the ball at the three-point line, deflecting "Mamba" Pope's center of gravity.

Then, Carter actually held the ball and drove inside.

You know, as he gets older, Carter's role almost becomes that of a shooter. In recent years, the number of times Carter has made breakthroughs with the ball has become less and less.

Because of this, Pope just threw himself out to block the shot without reservation. Because in his judgment, Carter would not break through.

But today, Carter is fearless. He seemed to have forgotten his age and bravely jumped towards the basket!

Everyone was dumbfounded. What happened to the Grizzlies today?

They are indeed very tired, but their fighting spirit is higher than ever!

After Link left the field, they played with more vigor!

Just when the old Flyer was about to complete a dunk, Anthony Davis stepped forward.

In terms of sentiment, people definitely want to see the 40-year-old Carter dunk successfully.

Everyone knows this is Link's last season, but few remember that it's also Carter's last.

His dunks are rare to watch.

But real competition is not about emotions. Davis made a sideways block, completely deforming Carter's movements in the air.

If it were Carter in Toronto and New Jersey, he might be able to force the ball through Davis.

But this Memphis shooter version of Carter fell to the ground in embarrassment.

How could his side withstand the collision of Davis.

After Derrick Rose, everyone's hearts were in their throats again.

Davis killed Carter's dunk, but Carter still got two free throw opportunities for himself!

At this time, even some fans in the Staples Center were applauding the brave Carter.

The rest of the Grizzlies team rushed forward and pulled Carter up.

This group of Grizzlies substitutes, who were originally dismissed, showed their blood!

Link clenched his fists, seeing the determination of his teammates.

He is not fighting alone.

I don't know if it was because he just fell a little hard and still hasn't recovered, but Carter only made one of two free throws at the free throw line.

But this is enough. So far in the second quarter, the Grizzlies have not only failed to let the Lakers take the lead, but have also expanded their lead to 4 points!

LeBron James gritted his teeth, what a joke. If you can’t handle Link, why can’t you handle these old guys! ?

The few minutes Link took to rest were used to open up the score, not to show off to the Grizzlies' substitutes!

James was completely irritated, so on the next attack, he personally held the ball, borrowed a screen, drove straight in, and forced a layup under Howard's defense!

The Lakers finally scored, and James seemed to be in scoring mode.

Afterwards, Howard received a pass from Rose under the basket and was about to take off and dunk on the spot.

But Anthony Davis relied on his faster bullet speed and better physical condition to overwhelm Howard and directly blocked Howard's dunk!

Howard fell down in embarrassment. If he had been five years younger, no, even three years younger, the result might not have been so tragic.

The shortcomings of the Grizzlies' bench lineup are beginning to be exposed. They may be able to score one or two good goals with their passion.

But overall, the Lakers' strength still crushes the Grizzlies' bench.

After completing the block, Davis found James with a long pass from the backcourt.

After James got the ball, Iguodala followed up as usual.

But this time James did not rush to pass the ball again. Instead, he turned around with Iguodala and passed the former defensive champion cleanly.

Iguodala struggled to turn around and chase after him, but it was too late. He could only watch James' back walk away.

James threw away Iguodala and went straight to the basket, leaping for a dunk!

Seeing this, Qiaogel on the sidelines couldn't bear to close his eyes. The next second, the basket made a loud noise, and the Lakers equalized the score!

"Fuck!" Link curled his lips. If he had been there just now, he might have been able to pursue him.

It was so frustrating to watch James wreak havoc on the basket.

The toughness of the Grizzlies players actually inspired James' desire to score.

He scored 4 points in a row and used his dimensionality-reducing attack power to close the gap.

After that, Iguodala made a jump shot from beyond the three-point line. It's a pity that he has never been a shooter.

Under James' interference, this three-pointer missed the frame.

The Lakers are really ruthless.

James grabbed the rebound himself and then counterattacked with the ball before anyone could react.

Lakers fans all stood up. How long has it been since they saw James play so aggressively?

It’s really been a long time.

James once again attacked the basket, and Markieff Morris was the first to get to the basket. He was the Grizzlies' only hope to prevent James from scoring successfully.

It's a pity that even the 35-year-old James' impact is not something Markieff Morris can withstand.

James smashed the ball directly into the basket through Morris in the air. The 35-year-old man can still complete such a violent dunk action!

The Lakers have completely gained momentum, and they finally completed the lead!

Now, James is in good shape. As long as they can work hard, the Lakers can widen the point difference.

But after the dunk, before James had time to celebrate, he heard the referee's whistle.

The Grizzlies are on timeout!

"What!?" James, who was extremely excited just now, looked up in surprise, only to realize that three minutes of the second quarter had already been played!

The Grizzlies called a timeout at this time, which means that Link is likely to come back!

The Lakers have just started to gain momentum, and their nightmare will come again.

Suddenly, James was in no mood. It was too late. Although the Grizzlies' substitutes were in a very embarrassed state, even though the scene was very ugly, even though they were stepped into the quagmire by the Lakers.

But they actually completed their mission. They successfully held off the Lakers and bought Link some rest time!

That monster who scored 21 points in a single quarter is coming back!

Link stood up from the bench and hugged his teammates one by one as they came off the court.

Although he only rested for three minutes, Link felt much more energetic.

"Sorry Link, we can only do this." Howard, who had just been bleeding from Davis, walked up to Link and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Have a good rest, Dwight, thank you for your hard work." Link didn't say much. After patting Howard on the shoulder, he stood on the sidelines again.

In those three minutes, even though they knew that there was a huge gap in strength between them and the opponent, those guys still rushed forward without hesitation.

Then for the next nine minutes, just sit back and enjoy the results!

Link tore off his disposable training clothes and training pants, and the dark blue No. 0 appeared under the shining lights again. .

The electronic buzzer sounded, and Link reappeared with his teammates.

The Los Angeles Lakers' 2-point advantage is even more cost-effective than the Grizzlies' 3-point advantage just now.
