Facing Link, Anthony Davis was not nervous. Because he played against the Heat two days ago, Davis also played against James for a few rounds briefly.

Although he didn't say he had the advantage, Davis didn't suffer much. So facing Link, Davis also thought he would not suffer any losses.

At worst, it’s just about each other’s explosion, and it’s not certain who loses and who wins.

All the Grizzlies fans stood up and cheered for Link. Link vs. Davis, this was the biggest highlight of this game. Now, the two are still facing each other directly, and the fans are all excited.

"Is this a good way? Maybe not a good way. Although Link played the No. 4 position during the Finals, the Heat also played first- and fourth-sized players at that time. But now, Davis faced by Link is a standard power forward figure. Is it really the right decision to let Link play the No. 4 position?"

Barkley couldn't help but worry that Link was well-known for his excellent defense. But even so, it seemed too difficult to defend Davis.

With the cheers of fans, Holiday passed half of the ball and the showdown in the first round of the second quarter is about to begin!

Link was on the verge of war. Although he seemed to care about Davis on the surface, he knew very well that Davis was definitely not easy to deal with.

At this stage, Davis' biggest problem is that his ability to confront is slightly poor.

In the following years, Davis's arms became thicker and stronger and stronger. It was precisely after the ability to confrontation that Davis became a super giant.

But now, Davis is still relatively thin. Although he is better than last season, his ability to confrontation is still not strong.

Link planned to start from this point and have a hand-to-hand battle with Davis.

Davis didn't hesitate, he sat inside and wanted to play Link on his back.

Against Link, this is equivalent to a misalignment. Of course, Davis wants to solve the problem by playing back and forth.

Holiday skillfully hung the ball to Davis. Davis stretched out his long arm and easily caught the basketball. In the first round of the second quarter, Davis and Link competed!

As a young player, Davis is naturally eager to defeat stars who have been famous in the league to prove himself.

He held the ball and felt Link's defense for a while, then rushed back!

"Bang!"

The two collided violently, and Gasol, who was beside him, felt pain when he heard it.

Davis thought he could easily drill into the inside line, but after exerting force, he seemed to hit a solid wall, without even pushing half a step!

"This" Davis was shocked. Link was a third position. Why is his defense ability so strong at low posts!?

He just took the fourth position of Harris, and it didn't take that much effort.

Link was actually very troubled just now, but at least he took Davis down. Davis was good at the fourth position, but his core strength was still far behind James. Last season's finals, Link didn't let James take advantage, so it was naturally even more impossible for Davis to push him away.

Davis, who was unbeliever, sat back for a while, but Link was still motionless, as stable as Mount Tai.

This is embarrassing. It is the most embarrassing thing to beat the back without touching the person. Davis felt that he was blushing, so he turned his back into a back and turned around to break through!

Davis's back turned around this time was a little hasty, maybe because he was eager to get back his face, so he was very anxious.

Link saw the opportunity and quickly started everything as Davis's body turned around!

"Bang!" Davis turned around and found that the basketball had lost control.

"Damn, when?" Davis's eyes widened wider, and he couldn't see clearly when Link started!

Just as Davis was about to turn around and hold the basketball again, Link stretched out his other arm and gently snatched it, then grabbed the basketball into his arms and successfully steal it!

"Link cut off the ball from Anthony Davis in time, haha, he is indeed a thief. Any player who faces Link must play twelve points. Link passes a long pass from the backcourt and handes the ball to Conley, and the Grizzlies counterattack!"

O'Neal kept applauding on the commentary stage. Link's defense just now was a textbook demonstration of small defense against big ones.

Davis tried his best to chase back, hoping to make up for his mistakes with a chase. Conley turned his head and looked back while moving quickly, and found that Davis was actually catching up!

But Conley still did not hesitate. He jumped gently and raised the basketball, as if he was about to make a layup.

Davis immediately followed and he was bound to win a small defender like Conley.

Davis approached Conley at a very fast speed in the air, and his palm was only one step away from the basketball that Conley held up.

However, the next second, the basketball disappeared from Davis's eyes. To be precise, Conley suddenly changed to a cross, turned his wrist and sent the basketball back to the outside of the three-point line.

After Davis landed, he hurriedly turned around and found that Link was at the top of the arc outside the three-point line without anyone to guard!

"The Pelicans' defense has contracted too hard, Davis should have been to guard Link!"

O'Neal shouted, and at the same time, Link took a calm move. Link rarely wasted this opportunity to make three-pointers at a free space.

Davis watched Link easily score a goal from the three-point line, instantly narrowing the gap to 4 points!

Seeing Davis so impulsively trying to chase him, but instead missed his match, Link couldn't help but shake his head.

What a little brat!

"Damn it! My fault!" Davis raised his hand to signal to his teammates. After the attack failed, the opponent scored a three-pointer, and there was only a five-point difference between the inside and outside.

After the fight just now, Davis was much more cautious. This time, he no longer rashly fought with Link alone.

Davis held the ball with his back at mid-range, observing his teammates' movements.

However, just a few seconds after Davis received the ball, Tony Allen double-teamed it.

Facing the double-team of Link and Tony Allen, Davis had to hold up the basketball high and did not dare to put the basketball down three ways.

The scenes that were just stolen by Link are still vivid in my mind.

Davis was double-teamed, and Aminu was leaked. Aminu was a 3D player in the future, but he has not evolved completely yet. There is only d, no 3.

Last season, Amino's three-point shooting percentage was only 21.7%. This is why Tony Allen dared to double-team Davis, because there is no need to worry about keeping Amino on the outside. He is a point that can be shorted outside the three-point line.

Amino also knew that his three-pointer could not pose a threat, so after seeing Davis being double-teamed, Amino chose to cut in.

Davis held up the basketball and passed it out. Amino took the ball and cut into the layup.

But this time, the Grizzlies' best defensive player was not lifted out of the penalty area.

As soon as Aminu got off, the big white bear returned to the basket and raised his arms high.

The Nigerian prince could not see the basket in an instant, so he could only choose to throw in a hasty shot.

Amino was not an offensive player at all, and was disturbed by Gasol, and he lost all his sight.

Amino's throw hit the left side of the basket and failed to hit!

Davis immediately turned around and prepared to fight for the offensive rebound, but the moment he turned around, Link stuck his position tightly, making Davis unable to move.

When he was stuck in the position, Davis could not get a rebound even if he had a height advantage.

Moreover, Link's bounce was not weak at first. He would not wait for the rebound to fall into his hands, but instead jumped high and easily took off the basketball.

After grabbing the rebound, Link passed the ball quickly again, targeting Iguodala!

In the matchup between Gordon and Iguodala, Gordon is at an absolute disadvantage on the defensive end. Whether it is height, wingspan or confrontation, Gordon does not have the advantage.

Gordon is a point guard who has a hard defense, but the hardware is really not suitable for defense, not to mention that Iguodala is still a striker.

After receiving the basketball, Iguodala leaned against Gordon and quickly approached the basket. After giving Gordon a confrontation in the penalty area, Iguodala easily made a layup!

The difference is only 2 points left!

"A beautiful counterattack, the Grizzlies made two consecutive counterattacks. This is not because the Grizzlies' offense suddenly improved, but because their defense is much better than just now. Only when the defensive end is stable can the conditions for counterattack be created!"

O'Neal was so excited that he danced with all his hands. After Link faced Davis, Davis was obviously restricted.

Charles Barkley looked surprised. He really didn't expect Link to do this.

Has this guy's defense reached this point?

Link actually doesn't think it's difficult to defend Anthony Davis. After all, when facing Durant who is 2.10 meters above, Link is not at all inferior.

The score difference was only 2 points left, and the Pelicans were a little panicked. After discovering that Davis was targeted, the Pelicans did not even dare to hit Davis again this time, but instead asked the two defenders Holiday and Gordon to solve the problem.

But facing the defense of Iguodala and Conley, the Pelicans' expensive back line is not that easy to score.

In the end, Gordon's emergency stop jump shot was seriously disturbed by Iguodala and made a flee. Gasol and Link's skillful position allowed them to block the penalty area directly, and did not give the Pelicans any chance to grab rebounds.

"The Pelicans' offense missed again! Let's see if the Memphis Grizzlies can equalize the score!"

All the fans were excited, and Link instantly made Davis' magical aura disappear completely.

This time, the Pelicans learned their lessons and they retreated very quickly, just to prevent the Grizzlies from fighting back.

Davis did not rush back to the basket, but followed Link, beware of Link's chance to get a relaxing shot again.

The pace of the game slowed down instantly, and the two sides fell into positional battle.

After a series of off-ball runs, Link finally received the ball from the right side outside the three-point line.

But Davis was really fast and immediately followed. His movement speed was really inconsistent with his height.

Link was not nailed outside the three-point line. He used an extremely smooth rossover to pass Davis and accelerate the breakthrough!

"A successful breakthrough, Link's possession of the ball is pleasing to the eye. But Davis was not completely thrown away, he was still following Link!"

Davis gritted his teeth and no matter what, he would not allow Link to equalize the score.

There were only a few rounds in the second quarter, and Link played against him for only a few minutes. If the Grizzlies equalized the score under Link's leadership, wouldn't that mean they were completely inferior to him?

Davis is unwilling to give up!

Defeat the regular season MVP first, and defeat the finals MVP, Davis's goal will not change!

Although Davis was sticking tightly beside him, Link did not hesitate. After reaching the basket, he jumped directly and attacked the frame!
