1270: Tell me when you win the championship
Antetokounmpo's confident remarks before the game made fans full of endless imagination about this game.
After so many years, has someone finally emerged who can challenge Link?
Although in Link's own words, this will be the last year of his career.
But being able to see someone who can defeat Link appear in the last year is also a witness to history.
On the morning of the game, outside the Federal Express Arena, the news cars from major media were filled with news cars.
But Memphis fans are no longer surprised by such a situation.
This season, such a situation will be set up outside the Federal Express Arena every few days.
However, this game is indeed a bit special, because the Bucks can be regarded as the Grizzlies' best-recorded opponent this season.
Facing a team that has won 16 consecutive victories, people think even the Grizzlies will feel stressed.
Antetokounmpo will be very happy to break Link's ten-game winning streak.
His series of speeches yesterday have already shown his attitude.
So, on the night of the game, when Antetokounmpo and his teammates appeared at the Federal Express Arena, his confidence on his face seemed to be facing a Western Lotto team today.
Antetokounmpo was wearing a dark red suit and sunglasses, full of energy.
So far this season, these reporters have photographed countless players entering the court here.
But no one would look calm when he arrived at the Federal Express Arena.
Even James, Durant and Leonard were frowning when they stepped into the Federal Express Arena. They all knew that they were about to face a tough battle here.
Only Antetokounmpo, his confidence in facing the Grizzlies, is something that other stars cannot see.
Madness is really crazy, and the psychological bonus brought by 16 consecutive victories to a player is so obvious.
However, when Antetokounmpo and his teammates changed their clothes and entered the venue to warm up, all the fans on the scene could understand the Greek's confidence.
According to the official NBA data, Antetokounmpo is 2.11 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.24 meters. Now he is very strong, from 89 kilograms when he first entered the league to 101 kilograms!
The whole world knows that Antetokounmpo's physical condition is historical, but seeing a real person on the spot and facing those cold numbers are completely different concepts.
Only when you see a living Antetokounmpo standing in front of you can you know what the numbers represent.
The Grizzlies fans at the scene looked at Antetokounmpo and were amazed at how that guy had such a body!
The key is that Antetokounmpo can sprint and run like a small forward when his physical condition is so perverted.
Jokic, who is only two centimeters higher than Antetokounmpo, has no way of comparing Antetokounmpo in terms of flexibility.
His body is simply a miracle!
Greece is a place where myths are nurtured, and now Antetokounmpo has become part of "Greek myths".
The fans sitting in the front row couldn't help but open their mouths when they looked at the guy who was as tall and strong as a center but as flexible as a sports car.
Can anyone really win against such a player?
Isn’t this kind of guy misplaced anyone fighting with?
The surprised gazes of Grizzlies fans made Antetokounmpo very proud.
Yes, he is no longer the weak bamboo pole back then. Over the years of hard work, he has made his body the top NBA existence.
Many fans joked that they couldn't learn any skills when watching Antetokounmpo play because that guy was playing purely by physical talent.
But from another perspective, in the NBA, where the ground is full of abnormalities, Antetokounmpo has become the most abnormal in physical fitness, and it has reached the pinnacle.
"My Cao, this body is really attractive!" In the other half, Dillon Brooks, who was warming up, looked at Antetokounmpo and his saliva was almost flowing down.
Link looked at Brooks in surprise and said, "It's all men, are you actually greedy for others?"
It seemed that he had discovered Link's meaningful gaze, Brooks hurried to help him refute the rumor: "It's not that, I mean I envy his physical talent. After all, you know, my arm span is even higher than my height..."
"It's okay, I can understand, Brooks, no need to explain." Before he finished speaking, Link patted Brooks on the shoulder.
Brooks was in tears, but why did he feel that he became darker and darker as he drew it?
After the warm-up, just as both sides were about to leave to listen to the head coach's final deployment, Link found that Antetokounmpo was walking towards him.
Link then leaned towards the middle circle, and the camera on the scene gave the two close-ups. The generals of both sides finally met for the first time today!
Link walked towards Antetokounmpo and he had to look up at the guy.
The 2-meter-11-meter-high is really not a big deal, it's just a center.
"Link, we finally meet you." Antetokounmpo reached out and fisted Link gently.
"You guys have a good grade this season, keep cheering up." Link said a polite word. For some reason, he really couldn't fight a verbal battle with Antetokounmpo.
"Of course, we will win today, Link. This is your last season and it is also my last chance to defeat you. Retire with peace of mind, I will take over your class, starting today."
Antetokounmpo curled his lips slightly. He was no longer the little Link fan who said, "No matter who wins the championship in the end, the strongest player is wearing Grizzlies jerseys."
Now, he is extremely eager to surpass his idol.
Moreover, he was very confident, as if today he came to take over the flag of the league's number one from Link.
After hearing Antetokounmpo say this, Link shook his head. No matter how crazy the Greeks are, Link doesn't care, but when he becomes crazy, Link doesn't agree.
I didn't want to start squirting, but now I can't help it.
So Link raised his hands and stared at Antetokounmpo's eyes: "Look, look around. Six championship banners, two dynasties, these are the kingdoms that I built in the first place. When you have even a championship ring, let's talk about succession, Jannis."
Link responded bluntly, yes, this is his last season, but he doesn't want to be replaced by anyone.
Antetokounmpo nodded, and he knew Link would have the same attitude.
Only such an opponent has the value of chasing!
The two turned around and left and returned to their half, without hugging or shaking hands.
From now on until one of them fell, Link and Antetokounmpo would no longer stop their killing.
"I don't know what Link and Antetokounmpo said, but it looks like it smells of gunpowder."
On the commentary stage, Mike Bryn was very curious about the content of the conversation between the two.
Judging from the personalities of Antetokounmpo and Link, the dialogue between the two sides should not be too friendly.
One is arrogant and can't wait to prove himself in this alliance.
A person is an old fox who ruled the entire 10s and was never used to losing.
These two people will definitely not give in.
The referee signaled that both sides would prepare for the starting lineup. The five starting lineups formed by Bledsoe, Matthews, Middleton, Antetokounmpo and Brooke Lopez stood in front of the Grizzlies.
The Bucks' starting lineup is very strong, but it's not just Antetokounmpo's threat.
What's more, on the bench of the Bucks, there are also high-quality players such as Korver, NCAA Final Four MOP Divincenzo, Connaughton, and Iliasova.
The Bucks' lineup and rotation depth are definitely one of the best in the league, and it is not an exaggeration to remove "one".
In addition to being wary of "Greek monsters" today, the Grizzlies must also pay more attention to others.
Lopez and Jokic entered the middle circle, and at the same time, Antetokounmpo's eyes had already fallen on Link.
After the referee threw the ball into the air, Jokic gained the first attack with a slight advantage.
Looking at the league, Lopez may be one of the few centers who will lose to Jokic in the game.
Conley slowly approached the Bucks with the ball and after Link took the position, he immediately passed the ball.
At this moment, Antetokounmpo opened his long arms and rushed up.
Chapter completed!
