After the second quarter started, Link's sudden force caused a 180° change in the game situation.

Doncic was completely suppressed by Link, and this super genius failed to score a point in Link's two successful defenses.

Doncic, who had just gotten up from the ground, still felt a little pain in his chest. He really didn't know how Link started sprinting as if nothing had happened after he stood up again.

Doncic, who was just overwhelmed with confidence, feels extremely nervous now.

When Link really planned to take action, the situation seemed to lose control immediately.

Now, the score difference is only 1 point left. The advantage that the Dallas Mavericks fought hard in the first quarter was easily filled by the Grizzlies.

Doncic knew that he had to continue to stand up and stabilize the situation for the Mavericks no matter what.

So afterwards, Doncic continued to face Conley to prepare for singles.

But now, Doncic needs to be careful not only Conley, he also needs to pay attention to Link at all times.

Doncic has just experienced the defensive range of that guy on the defensive end.

Wherever he is, Link will approach and complete the defense without knowing it.

This time, Doncic used a very beautiful sudden pause and change of direction during the process, shaking Conley into a sway.

Doncic's moves of shaking people are not as fancy as Kelly, Irving and others, but the effect is outstanding.

What he pursues is the most efficient way to shake off his opponent, not juggling.

After shook Conley away, Doncic glanced at Link alert.

It was only when he found that Link had not made up for defense that he threw the ball with confidence.

"brush!"

Basketball hit, Doncic continued to score, and the Dallas Mavericks widened the score difference again.

Doncic's courage is commendable. Most young players are usually frightened by the fact that when they see Link performing just now, they become overwhelmed in the subsequent games.

But Doncic was not only not impressed, but also responded.

Although this game has not ended yet, it has already opened up Doncic to other rookie players.

Link is not ruthless. Although Dorian Finney Smith is an excellent 3D player, his defense is far from being excellent in front of Link.

Link used a very large arc to change direction of the body, and cleaned Finney Smith.

However, Mavericks coach Carlisle is not stupid either. He is always the champion coach who has led the team to win the championship.

Knowing that Finney Smith couldn't defend Link alone, he deliberately arranged for Link to assist in defense.

As soon as Link broke through, Porzingis, who was 2.21 meters tall, immediately reached the basket!

The Latvians stood at the basket like a mountain blocking the basket.

Porzingis is tall and arm length, and his athletic ability is also very good, which gives him extremely powerful air defense firepower.

In his first year in the league, Porzingis averaged 1.9 blocks per game!

In the 17-18 season, Porzingis averaged 2.4 blocks per game.

At that time, he averaged 2.4 blocks per game, second only to Anthony Davis' 2.6 times, ranking second in the league.

Except for Davis and Porzingis, there were no other players who averaged two blocks per game that season.

"Bai King" Capela averaged only 1.9 blocks per game that year, and Drummond only 1.6 times. This shows how terrifying Porzingis' blocks were.

He not only can sniff the ball away, but even staged a good show like chasing and catching a person.

As long as he opens a "big net" in the air, few people will be spared.

Carlisle believes that even Link can't easily score a goal against an air defense monster like Porzingis.

Seeing Porzingis guarding the basket, Link did not slow down.

He knew that if he showed fear, the other party would become confident.

So Link was fearless and jumped to Porzingis and prepared to make a layup. He wanted to use a high throw to hit the board and cross the defense, but he only found out after he got into the air.

Porzingis is really tall!

Link had already reached the highest point, but Porzingis' raised arms still tightly covered the basketball!

As long as you make a move, you will definitely be a volleyball hat!

Carlisle clenched his fists. He was ready to cheer for Porzingis's blockade. Link was already in a desperate situation!

But at this moment, an incredible scene happened.

I saw that Link did not take action in the air. After both sides' bodies began to fall, Link suddenly leaned back and then gently threw the ball into the basket.

With both sides' bodies falling, Porzingis could only watch the basketball pass through his fingertips.

In the end, the basketball crossed the tower of Porzingis and successfully fell into the ball net.

A ball that was destined to be blocked was scored by Link.

"What is this!? Leaning layup!? Link's waist and abdomen are so powerful that he can force his back in the air to avoid the block! Moreover, these actions are done when his body falls. This ball is so difficult, I bet no one can replicate it!"

Jeff Van Gundy wiped his eyes, and he thought Porzingis was going to finish a beautiful block.

Unexpectedly, Link gave Porzingis an extreme operation.

These scoring methods are really unlearnable by others, and they are purely showing off their personal abilities!

Link's incredible goal made the Grizzlies bit the score again!

Porzingis looked full of fear. In the past, he was very confident that he could fan the basketball in the other party's hand.

But this is the first time Porzingis has seen Link's operation of waiting for his body to fall and then tilt back and throwing the ball.

Link's goal gave Porzingis and Doncic a huge sense of oppression.

Like before, Link made his opponents afraid of missing.

If you bite so tightly, you will be overtaken by the Grizzlies if you miss the attack.

This undoubtedly gave the other party great psychological pressure.

Link can still score the ball that was completely covered by death just now.

Doncic didn't know how to stop Link.

The only thing he can do is continue to score goals!

Link originally thought Doncic would be crushed by tremendous pressure.

However, the Slovenian genius once again created surprises for Link.

In the following few rounds, Doncic's offense was still very calm. He did not perform abnormally due to the huge sense of oppression.

You know, before, even Durant and Harden would be impatient because they were bitten too tightly by Link.

But in Doncic, you can't see his impatient side at all.

When double-teamed, he will calmly hand the ball over to his teammates in the open position. This guy's passing vision and passing accuracy are definitely the top in the league.

Generally speaking, players in the No. 1 position need more time to train them compared to other positions.

Because the overall view and organizational ability need to be trained and accumulated through competitions.

For example, Ronzo Ball, although his passes are excellent, in fact, most of Ball's assists are obtained through conversion attacks.

When he really fell into the position, Ball's organizational ability was actually very, very average. This has a lot to do with his experience.

However, Doncic is already one of the best organizers in this league in his second year.

In addition to passing, Doncic's own offensive skills are also very versatile.

Breakthrough, fancy layups, jump shots at various distances and positions... Doncic's offense has almost no blind spots.

He withstood the pressure and continued to shoot left and right, guiding the Mavericks' offense.

In this way, in the second quarter, when Link was already showing off his offensive end, the Mavericks still did not collapse.

After the second quarter, the Grizzlies only led the Mavericks by 5 points!

Link scored 13 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and 16 points in the game.

What about Doncic? He still scored 12 points in the second quarter. In other words, that guy already scored 23 points in the first half!

As it turns out, Doncic is not a data brush.

He is a real player who can fight tough battles!

Many people compare Doncic with Love in the past, saying that Love in the past was also a data explosion, but in fact he was not that powerful.

However, Doncic and Love are completely different. Love's Timberwolves' record back then was there, and the Mavericks are now the top eight teams in the Western Conference!

His strength is indeed not something that can be blown out.

"I really don't know who should be praised for this quarter. Doncic and Link performed well. They contributed a wonderful quarter to the fans. Although the Mavericks were very passive, Luca at least bit the score, and the game still has suspense!"

Link shook his head, he was not satisfied with the current result.

Being forced to this by a rookie is not what Link wants to see.

He thought he could easily kill the Mavericks with a little force, but it turned out that he was wrong.

After returning to the locker room, before Jogel could speak, Link took the lead in making his request.

"In the third quarter, I'll defend that little guy."

Link knew that just attacking the Mavericks on the offensive end was no longer effective.

In the third quarter, Link wants to conquer Doncic in all aspects.

He no longer wants the game to continue.
Chapter completed!
