Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven: After the Shackles Disappeared

"What's wrong? Your Uncle Zach can't protect you? Come on man, you're the All-Star starting forward. Why, are you still afraid? Come on, I'm not bad at all, you can tell by my name .”

When the Grizzlies attacked for the second time, Ci Shiping couldn't control his mouth anymore. His trash talk upset Link, but Link tried hard to contain his emotions. Because he knew that if his mood was affected, it would be in the hands of the other party.

Ci Shiping stuck to Link tightly, leaving almost no gaps. Link felt that this guy seemed to pick him up and smash him to the ground at any time.

Conley saw that Link had no chance to catch the ball for the time being, so he gave the ball to Gasol Jr. to handle it first. In this situation before, Gay can still attack with the ball to relieve the pressure. But now, the Grizzlies really have no choice.

Link tried his best to walk in, but Ci Shiping blocked Link with his strong body, not even allowing him to run smoothly. Link really couldn't believe how strong Ci Shiping's defensive ability was at his peak. After all, Ci Shiping, who is now at the end of his career, has already made Link feel very difficult to deal with.

Link slowed down, as if he no longer confronted Ci Shiping, and seemed to give up.

Ci Shiping laughed smugly, and was about to rant. However, in the next second, Link secretly pushed him, and then quickly circled to Gasol's side.

In the blink of an eye, Link opened the gap!

"Fuck, how dishonest!" Ci Shiping hastily followed, but his legs and feet are really not very agile now. Before Ci Shiping arrived, Link had already received a pass from Gasol Jr. He raised the basketball and made a shot.

Sure enough, Ci Shiping lifted his feet off the ground and floated past Link's eyes. Facing this kind of chasing defender, the trick of fake shooting is generally tried and tested. After all, the chasing defenders are all anxious in their hearts, and they are all eager to make up for the lack with hard work. As long as he sees that the offensive team has a tendency to shoot, he will block it regardless.

Link is grasping this point, turning the counterpoint into a jumping frog time and time again.

After flying Ci Shiping away, Link shot on the spot. This mid-range shot hits the net hollow and hits it steadily! Link used the most unpretentious way to play the kindness World Peace around!

"Good shot, Link scored the first point of the game for the Grizzlies! Although it was just a simple mid-range shot, Link got rid of the entanglement of world peace by himself. He showed that he is the core of the offense. With determination, Link's performance today is worth looking forward to!"

After scoring the goal, Link looked at Ci Shiping, didn't speak, just hooked his fingers at him.

Ci Shiping suddenly became furious! Isn't it just a mid-range shot? Look at you!

Link just wants Ci Shiping to be angry, the more angry that guy is, the better for Link.

Well, as long as he doesn't elbow his ribs and the back of his head...

In the next round, Ci Shiping was more active on the offensive end. He screens hard for his teammates and runs a lot on offense.

But Link didn't bother to care about him at all, he just followed behind him leisurely. This season, Ci Shiping's overall shooting rate is "as high as" 39.4%, and the three-point shooting rate has reached an exaggerated 29.6%. To put it bluntly, even if Link really lets him go, he may not be able to score goals.

Ci Shiping's hand feeling is very stiff, and it is through acquired hard work that he has practiced one-handed shooting. But after the decline in status this year, it can be said that all the sights have been lost.

Realizing that he ran so hard and his opponent didn't bother to care about him at all, Ci Shiping suddenly felt like a fool, he was just kidding himself!

In the end, basketball did not fall into the hands of Ci Shiping. Bryant used his turnaround jumper to defeat Tony Allen and successfully scored.

Tony Allen gritted his teeth and stared at Kobe. After Kobe scored, he glanced at Link. Link applauded Tony Allen, saying that he has defended well... This is a very complicated triangle relationship.

6 to 2, the Lakers still have the upper hand.

This time, Ci Shiping was rougher than before. The strength of confrontation he gave Link on the defensive end can already be said to be at the playoff level!

Link gritted his teeth, this guy is really a beast. Ci Shiping has actually become much gentler about this matter, but he is still irritable.

However, this is what Link wants. It seems that Ci Shiping has been angered.

This time, Link and Conley exchanged hands. After getting the basketball from Conley, Link took advantage of the situation and went straight to the basket, trying to attack the basket directly!

"Stop fucking dreaming!" Ci Shiping was furious, she didn't care about her own defense at all!

He confronted Link directly, and Link gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, thankful that he succeeded in aggravating during the offseason last year. Otherwise, he would be lying on the ground by now. Ci Shiping's collision just now was very powerful!

After a hard fight with Ci Shiping, Link took off and made a layup!

How could Ci Shiping allow Link to score, so he also jumped up and collided violently with Link again in the air!

This time, Link lost his center of gravity and hit the floor directly. But the moment Link landed, the referee blew his whistle.

"The Lakers fouled on the 15th, and the Grizzlies made two free throws!" After blowing the whistle, the referee shouted loudly from the technical platform.

Link, who was lying on the ground, waved his hand excitedly, the foul plan was successful! When Ci Shiping was the most exaggerated, he averaged 4 fouls in 31 minutes per game. Do you think it is fake!

This guy likes rough defense, but sometimes rough defense is not necessarily beneficial!

"It's okay, buddy!" Randolph immediately ran to Link and held out his hand.

"Very good!" Link grabbed Randolph and Gasol Jr.'s forearms and stood up again.

When he stood up, he found that Ci Shiping was arguing with the referee. Link smiled, let's continue with the theory. The worse the referee's impression of you, the more chances of free throws will be today!

Standing on the free throw line, Link patted the ball intently, and then shot steadily.

Two free throws were made, and the Grizzlies were once again close to the score!

Kobe was a little worried at this time. Link was very aggressive today, and Link chose to deal with the two consecutive attacks. To be honest, Kobe didn't know if Ci Shiping could stand it.

You know, Link rarely used fouls before. But today, in order to score, Link does everything he can.

This time, the Lakers once again played the ball to Bynum, hoping that the "Little Shark" can lay an advantage for the Lakers.

However, when Bynum received the basketball in the low post, he realized that it was not just Gasol Jr., but also Link who was defending him!

"Link, he double-teamed the past! The Grizzlies have adopted a low double-team measure against Bynum, what will Bynum do?" Shoulder heavy responsibilities, and reduce their enthusiasm on the defensive end.

He is a well-deserved core!

Bynum was uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to put the ball below his chest. Everyone knows Link's ability to steal the ball, put it down, just wait for it to be intercepted!

But Bynum didn't have too much time to think about it, because he was now in the three-second zone. If you think about it for too long and cause a three-second violation, the attack will be directly abolished.

Ever since, Bynum took a risk and threw the ball to the left corner through Link. Over there, Metta Shiping was ready to catch the ball.

Link made up for Metta Shiping almost the moment Bynum passed the ball. He does not hesitate to run long distances, and he is very clear that his responsibility is not only to score goals!

Ci Shiping catches the ball and shoots, but Link has already rushed over at this time, and raised his long arms high, interfering with Ci Shiping's shooting!

Ci Shiping was not allowed to shoot the ball, and was interfered by Link so much, the result was that he shot a three-point shot directly!

"What!? Ci Shiping made a three-point shot!?" Hubie Brown was shocked, what kind of shooting skill is this guy. Since you can't make a shot, don't stand outside the three-point line.

Link knew that Ci Shiping was not allowed, so he dared to go forward to double-team. Because even if the interference is half a beat late, it doesn't matter. So far, his strategy is correct!

Ci Shiping's shot fell directly into the hands of Gasol Jr. This time, Conley did not play slow, and did not wait for the black and white bears. Because the offensive core of the Grizzlies stated that they must play fast this time!

Conley, Tony Allen, and Link formed a "trident" and entered the frontcourt. Before entering the three-point line, Conley handed the ball to Link who was on the right side.

After Link received the ball, he braked suddenly and pulled the ball back under his crotch, as if he was going to step back and shoot a jumper!

Ci Shiping immediately changed her center of gravity, tried hard to overcome the inertia, and rushed towards Link again. Seeing this situation, Link changed hands, changed direction, and easily walked past Ci Shiping who was rushing with all his strength. Two players whose centers of gravity are in completely opposite directions are just so staggered!

Link used his skillful ball-handling skills to make Ci Shiping dizzy!

After shaking Ci Shiping away, Link went straight to the inside line. Before Gasol and Bynum rushed back, he jumped up and succeeded in one-handed dunking!

This dunk made the entire FedEx Arena fans stand up and cheer. Link still scored 6 points in a row under the strict defense of Ci Shiping, helping the Grizzlies to equalize the score early and avoid being passive!

His power on the offensive end is no less than that of any superstar! Shooting, feinting with the ball, offense without the ball... Link is proficient in everything!

After all, he is the starting forward of the Western Conference All-Stars!

After scoring the goal, Link showed off his arm muscles, and he used the most core method to help the Grizzlies reverse their momentum.

Looking at the wild Link, Hubie Brown suddenly felt that his previous worries were unnecessary.

Gay's absence will not overwhelm Link, but it will be an opportunity for Link to show off his offensive skills.

Guy is like a shackle, restricting Link's strength. After all, Gay also needs a lot of shots to exert his power.

But now, the shackles are gone, and Link can show off his offensive skills as he likes on the offensive end.

When a beast is free from its chains, generally speaking, everything that stands in its way is doomed.
