Five Hundred and Thirteen: Is This Big Enough Now?

Kanter kept telling himself in his heart, "No matter how good that guy is, he's not as good as Durant! I've got Durant done, can I still get him?"

Only by constantly reminding himself of this, Kanter can keep his composure.

And, now it's time for a rollover. Maybe Link won't appear?

No, even if he appears, he can't be afraid! Where did your pregame courage go? cheer up!

Kanter's heart roared, and he didn't allow himself to back down.

But when the players from both sides stepped back on the court and Link continued to play, Kanter's inner voice of encouraging himself disappeared.

There are some fears that can't be concealed no matter how you hide them.

"Both sides have made substitutions. On the Jazz side, coach Tyrone Corbin replaced Al Jefferson with Kanter and replaced Millsap with Derrick Favors. The Jazz replaced all inside players. , there is no doubt that Coach Corbin needs his two insiders to keep his physical strength. The offense of the Jazz depends on them."

"The Grizzlies also made substitutions, Ezeli replaced 'European fortress' Gasol. Tobias Harris replaced Randolph. Jimmy Butler replaced Iguodala, starting Of the players, only Link and Conley were left."

Link was still there, not just for Kanter, but for every fan at Energy Solutions Arena.

Kante gritted his teeth, he said that he would make Link pay the price, but he couldn't back down!

You must fight, don't be shy!

"The six-point gap is not that big, but if the Jazz's lineup of starters and backups can't stand it, it's not certain how much the difference will become in the end. We all know that the Jazz are very eager to make the playoffs. They Now the Rockets are only 0.5 games away from the eighth place in the Western Conference. So, let’s work hard!”

Local commentators in Salt Lake City were also speaking impassionedly, but in reality, it was precisely their way of masking their fears.

The game resumed, and the Jazz took the lead.

If Link's appearance made Kanter a little nervous, then Azeley's presence gave Kanter a little comfort in his nervous heart.

Kanter also wanted to give Link a slap in the face. After the war of words, it was time to act.

The Turk quickly sat inside, leaned on Ezeli, and raised his hand for the ball!

Ezeli is the same height as Kanter, both 2.11 meters. However, Kanter's figure looks more slender than Azeli.

Unlike Ezeli, Kanter is not a pure blue-collar player. If he's just a blue-collar guy, he wouldn't have been picked at No. 2 before.

Kanter has the ability to play in the low post. If he hadn't been able to be a backup in the Jazz, Kanter's data would definitely look a lot better.

Seeing that no one had double-teamed him, Kanter took a step back and suddenly rolled over and made a jumper, killing Ezeli by surprise.

Kanter's touch was very soft, and the basketball eventually hollowed into the net.

The moment Kante scored, there were cheers from the stands. Immediately, the Turks' self-confidence rose!

"What did I say? No easy win in Salt Lake City, man!"

Kante, who was nervous just now, immediately became complacent. Anyway, he didn't play against Link, so he could blow it to the death.

Link shook his head, but not because of Kante, but because of the score difference and being forced to get close again.

The Jazz were tenacious today and they haven't shown any signs of giving up.

After scoring a goal on the offensive end, Kante made another contribution on the defensive end.

This time, in the face of Favors' defense, Harris broke into the paint with ease.

Favors' defense is not bad, after all, the footsteps are fast in the four position.

But this guy Harris is like a number one or three. It's really not a big deal to break through and mention Favors who came from a high position.

Harris easily flashed half a position, then continued to accelerate, ready to attack the frame.

However, just as Harris took off, Ines Kanter killed him!

Harris was stunned. Did this guy Kante fight so hard today!

Kanter is not known for his athleticism, so he failed to complete the volleyball cap. But at the moment Harris shot, Kanter still rubbed against the bottom of the basketball, causing the basketball to fly straight into the air.

After the basketball fell, Kanter protected the rebound with his height advantage. Immediately, the audience stood up. At that moment, Kanter felt like a hero at the Energy Solutions Arena!

"Kante is full of energy today! Before the start of the game, Kante said that he wanted to give Link a taste. From now on, it seems that Harris couldn't wait to help Link try it out. Defense is very important for the Jazz and Kanter will definitely be the key today!"

"I'm sorry Link, I didn't expect him to be so fast..." Harris shook his head in frustration. Harris was considered hot for a while the other day. But in a high-profile situation, the other party took a big risk, which is indeed a bit of a hard fall.

"Next time, look around, don't worry, we will still have the initiative!"

Link patted Harris on the shoulder, then quickly ran to the front court.

This time, Link decided it was time to go out on his own.

Kanter still stood confidently at the rim, while Ezeli and Harris were just warming up. Now, Kanter is looking forward to Link's arrival.

Link didn't hide it either. Just after Conley passed halftime, Link reached out for the ball. At the same time, a pick-and-roll was called from Ezeli.

"Want to play the wrong position?" Kante leaned fiercely, no matter whether Link played the wrong position or not, he could face it!

The moment Link bypassed the cover, both Kanter and Hayward followed Link. There is no doubt that Link's offensive threat is much greater than that of Ezeli.

Seeing that he and Hayward had almost surrounded a wall and completely locked Link, Kanter was ready to start spewing trash at Link.

However, in the next second, Link unhurriedly threw the ball into the sky.

Ezeli may not have a strong ability to attack on his own, so he can still eat cake.

And Link is just a person who can feed the cake.

Kanter turned around, only to see Ezeli catching the basketball firmly in the air, and then dunking vigorously!

The morale of the Jazz team, which had finally risen, was brutally suppressed by Link once again.

"Damn!" Kanter scolded in his heart, although Kanter's decision on this ball was correct. But in the end, it was Kante's matchup who scored the goal.

The Turks gritted their teeth, very unwilling. And this unwillingness eventually turned into trash talk.

"You coward, don't you dare to confront me once?" Kante's big mouth was out of control again, and he seemed to have forgotten the pressure that Link had brought him in the previous few minutes.

Link did not remain silent this time, but glanced at Kanter and said lightly, "Siktir git!"

Kanter's eyes widened, Link actually cursed in Turkish!

How much has this guy prepared in private?

The Jazz attacked again, and this time, Ezeli chose to go around to defend Kanter. In the face of Ezeli's aggressive defense, Kanter couldn't even catch the ball.

As a result, the responsibility of the attack fell on Hayward's shoulders. Hayward used the screen to break through Link, but Link was very capable of getting out of the screen. Almost instantly, it was posted to Hayward again.

No way, Hayward had to pass the ball out again. This time, it was Favors who caught the ball.

Favors backed up Harris, then turned around and shot a jumper. As an offensive 4-position player, Favors is quite a threat in the low post.

But I don't know if it's because he just played, Favors doesn't feel good. The basketball bounced a few times on the rim, but eventually bounced out.

Just when everyone thought the Jazz's offense failed, Kanter opened his hands wide, blocked Ezeli behind him, and got the offensive rebound! Although this ball is suspected of a rebounding foul, as long as the referee does not speak, it is reasonable!

Kante gritted his teeth after grabbing the rebound, ready to attack directly! Just now Link scolded his Turkish state, and he will return it with practical actions!

However, Kanter just took off when he felt that the basketball was being suppressed, causing him to be unable to get up!

Is it Azeri? ?

Kanter turned his head in surprise, but Azeli was still standing, not him!

Then, there can only be one person!

Link jumped high and forced Kante down in the air!

Kanter dropped the basketball on the way down and fell.

The Grizzlies bench was the climax of the whole team. This kind of cover that directly pushed others down is simply humiliating and worth full marks!

After Link completed the block, he was immediately blocked by Hayward. I have to say that Hayward is really smart. He knew that the Grizzlies would be on the fast break right away if they didn't stick to Link in time.

Taking advantage of Hayward's interference with Link, the Jazz quickly retreated. Unwilling, Kanter also got up from the ground and ran to his basket immediately.

Seeing that Link had lost the opportunity to fast break, he also gave up the idea of ​​a long pass. He raised his right hand and pressed it down, signaling his teammates to slow down and fight!

Link's ability to handle the ball is very good, so even if Hayward is closely pressing, he still easily crosses the half.

After crossing the midfield line, Link still had no intention of handing over the ball.

Link found that Hayward was a little too close to him, this is a good opportunity to break through!

So, Link dribbled the ball to the left, and when Hayward's center of gravity shifted to the left, he suddenly pulled the ball to the right!

"Whoosh!"

For a split second, Hayward couldn't find the Linkman!

"Beautiful Crossover, Link made Hayward dizzy! As a striker, it's really hard to shake off defenders with such superb ball-handling moves!"

Kanter, who had just been taken aback, had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He silently moved to the basket and waited for Link to shoot himself!

For the humiliation that Link gave him, he would repay it double! There is something, come in and try it!

In the blink of an eye, Link was already in front of Kante! He was quick, faster than Kanter expected.

Kanter was about to take off to block, but Link suddenly burst out! The speed of the bullet and the height of the bounce are both too different!

Seeing Link completely covering himself, Kanter secretly groaned badly. The next second, the two collided violently in the air, and Kante was hit by Link and lost his center of gravity. I can only let this No. 0 striker dunk on his head!

"Boom!" The basket made a loud noise.

"Boom!" Kanter was knocked out of the bottom line and hit hard against the cushion of the basketball hoop.

Link was still holding the basket with both hands, as if reminding Kanter, who had recovered, "You were just dunked by me!"

"Dunks! God, Link is unstoppable!" The commentators in Salt Lake City had goosebumps, and it was obvious that Kanter had just been active enough.

But sometimes, the gap in hard power cannot be filled by enthusiasm alone.

After landing, Link pointed directly at Kantor's nose, "Didn't you say I would only bully small guys? How about it, this one is big enough now."

After Link finished speaking, he turned and walked away. And Kanter, who had finally built up his confidence, was completely autistic.
