696: That kid? I have been detained
Everyone was worried when they saw Link appear. Only Antetokounmpo was more excited than just now.
After all, in the first quarter, Link only scored 6 points on Antetokounmpo. And these 6 points were all obtained through relatively gentle shooting.
Therefore, Link did not actually put too much pressure on Antetokounmpo. There is no doubt that such a situation made the Greeks full of confidence in themselves.
He firmly believed that he could perform as well in the second quarter as before!
"In the eighth minute of the second quarter, Link finally made a appearance. The Grizzlies are currently 7 points behind, and the situation is still very serious. I wonder if Link can perform well enough after playing again?"
The on-site commentator was also a little nervous. If Link got back to his usual state, he would be able to catch up even with 17 points.
The game started again, the Grizzlies' offensive round. While Conley and Randolph served the bottom line, Link rushed to Antetokounmpo on the court and said the first sentence after the game began.
"Jannis."
"Huh?" Antetokounmpo looked at Link, but he still kept pressing close to him.
"Do you think it's easy to beat me?"
After saying that, Link suddenly ran to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, as if he was going to fight Conley.
Antetokounmpo immediately followed, but he had just taken two steps. Link, who was originally sprinting with all his might, suddenly turned around with Antetokounmpo as the axis, threw away Antetokounmpo and cut into the inside!
Antetokounmpo opened his mouth wide. What was the back run of Link just now? How could he change direction and body posture so smoothly with full speed?
Link's back run was indeed very sudden. Don't forget that Link started out by relying on off-ball offense. Seeing that Antetokounmpo was completely thrown away, Conley had nothing to worry about.
He threw the person on the basketball net board directly, Link jumped tacitly with his feet, and received the basketball in the air!
Because Link's cut was very sudden, Larry Sanders and John Henson had no time to react at all.
These two insiders with great athletic abilities watched Link catch the basketball steadily in the air, and then smashed it with both hands!
"boom!"
The basket made a loud noise, as if it had woken everyone in Bradley Center from its beautiful fantasy.
After dunking, Link slapped the rebound hard before finally letting go. From last night to the current frustration, he finally vented all his anger!
"Link completed an all-match dunk as soon as he came on the court, and he seemed to have regained his vitality! This is not good news for the Bucks. If Link really regained his vitality, the Bucks' wish to defeat the league's number one will likely be broken!"
The commentator said, and he couldn't help swallowing.
It seemed that Link was angry.
After Link scored the goal, he blinked his eyes at Antetokounmpo, who was still confused.
Your idol, I am not so easy to be knocked down!
"Jannis, go up, go up!" Larry Drew was yelling at Antetokounmpo under the court.
Seeing Link was so energetic, Larry Drew was anxious than anyone else. Of course he knew that if the Grizzlies had not been in poor physical condition today, the Bucks would not have had the chance to play this way.
Now Link is showing signs of recovery, and the Bucks’ top priority is to consume Link’s recovered physical energy as soon as possible!
Therefore, in the next round, Larry Drew hopes Antetokounmpo will attack. Keep Link from being idle on the defensive end, which is the fastest way to consume Link.
So in the next round, Brandon Knight took the initiative to hit his Greek brother. Antetokounmpo immediately accelerated his breakthrough with Henson's cover. In the first quarter, he beat Link several times in this way, and all of them were successful.
The reason why this was successful in the first quarter was because Link couldn't keep up with Antetokounmpo at that time.
But now it's different. Link is very flexible to bypass the cover and follow Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo's dribble is not good now, but he has a big step. If others have to haul the ball several times, he will reach the penalty area in two big steps. The few dribbles naturally cover up his shortcomings in this regard.
After breaking into the penalty area, Antetokounmpo took advantage of the opportunity that Gasol had not yet come back to defend, held the basketball in his right arm, and prepared to dunk!
It's so refreshing to be able to dunk on Link's head again!
Just as Antetokounmpo smiled in the air, Link's roar rang in his ears.
"You don't think you can get out safely by blocking me once in the first quarter, right?"
Another question made Antetokounmpo's smile come to an abrupt end. He forgot that Link was a very revengeful person.
"Bang!"
Before Antetokounmpo's arm could be exerted, the basketball was slammed from behind by Link!
Off the court, Larry Drew was shocked. Antetokounmpo's height just now was not low, and even many big centers were difficult to block Antetokounmpo.
However, Link gave Antetokounmpo a big shot! His jumping height just now even made Larry Drew wonder if Link was hanging a wire.
Is this like something done by someone with poor physical strength?
After being slapped out by Link, the basketball hit the rebound hard and bounced back into the hand of Iguodala, who was quick-witted and quick-witted.
However, the Bucks' retreat was very timely, including Larry Sanders and John Henson, two big guys, who also retreated very quickly.
Therefore, the Grizzlies did not get a chance to fight back.
It can be seen that the Bucks players had unbelievable expressions on their faces. Antetokounmpo was actually chased? How is this possible!?
During training, it was very difficult for John Henson and Sanders, who were 2.11 meters tall, to block Antetokounmpo. But Link, who was 2.03 meters tall, did it and still chased!
Now, the Bucks players are beginning to gradually realize the horror of Link.
Including Antetokounmpo!
He suddenly felt that Link was having fun with him in the first quarter. Now, Link has just exerted his strength.
Without a quick break, Iguodala finally handed the ball to Link.
Link stopped at the top of the arc outside the three-point line and made several gestures.
Antetokounmpo spread his long arms as much as possible to prevent Link from passing the ball. But Link did not gesture to pass the ball, but to let his teammates open up space!
After everyone pulled apart, Link dribbled the ball under his crotch with his left and right hands, slowly approaching Antetokounmpo.
"Antetokounmpo" adjusted his position in small steps. For some reason, the closer Link got, the more pressure he felt.
This sense of oppression is an experience that the Greeks have never had since played this season.
Link suddenly sank his shoulders and accelerated to the right side of Antetokounmpo! Antetokounmpo hurriedly followed, and at the same time he poked out his long arm and planned to steal it!
But just as Antetokounmpo's finger was about to hit the basketball, Link pulled the ball to the left in time!
Antetokounmpo stopped quickly, his brain could react, but his body could not keep up.
Antetokounmpo staggered to the right. When he turned around and wanted to chase Link, Link had already made a shot. Link used a beautiful early change of direction to clean Antetokounmpo!
With 4 points in a row, Link narrowed the difference of 7 points to only 3 points after just a few rounds!
Antetokounmpo is still in fear. Link just now just now was just tempting himself to steal!
That guy is just doing whatever he wants!
"Don't stop, keep playing fast pace, continue!" Larry Drew urged him again. Logically, he should call a timeout and steadily. Because the Bucks were originally a young team, and when the young team encountered this situation, they were already in a hurry.
And the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
But Drew not only did not call the timeout for the team, but slowed down the pace, but instead allowed them to continue to speed up.
I can only say that it is wise to find such a coach to lead everyone to play the role.
At Drew's urging, Knight pushed quickly and hurriedly passed the half.
Before everyone could take their place in the first half, Knight threw an aerial relay to Henson who cut in the middle.
The ball was played too hastily, and neither the passer nor the receiving ones were ready. So much so that the basketball was not passed high enough that Henson had a hard time receiving it.
But Link solved this trouble for Henson, because before Henson received the basketball, Link jumped up in advance to cut off the basketball in the air.
After just taking the big shot of Antetokounmpo, Link completed another steal!
Link did not stop after stealing and fought back immediately!
The pace is getting faster now, but the Bucks are in chaos. The offense is messy and the defense is even more messy.
Continuous offensive and defensive transformations make the Bucks, who are not well-defensive, not even know who they should defend.
Link took this opportunity to drive straight into the penalty area! At this time, it would be better if someone came out to block Link from the outside, but no one did this.
Before Antetokounmpo could react, Link rushed to him again.
The Greeks were about to stop Link, but Link suddenly rushed into the air like an explosive on his feet!
Under the dazzling lights, Link seemed to have turned into a very oppressive black shadow.
Seeing the black shadow getting closer and closer to him, Antetokounmpo, who had just jumped up from the ground, knew that he was finished!
Link collided with Antetokounmpo in the air. Antetokounmpo was pinned under him due to insufficient bounce!
So, Link hugged the basketball into the frame through the "Greek monster" with his tall arms!
Antetokounmpo was knocked out of the bottom line so far that he was so thin that he couldn't bear such an impact at all.
After landing, Link did not be polite to his little fans, but yelled at the Greeks!
Can Link not be excited? This is Antetokounmpo! When Antetokounmpo starts to rampage the league in the future, Link can casually say to the reporter, "That boy? I have locked him before."
Suddenly, the entire Bradley Center was silent! Everyone knew that, but after Link started taking over the game, no one could stop him.
Looking at Link who turned and left after roaring, Antetokounmpo, who became Link's background board, finally remembered the warning given to him by manager Jeff Austin a week ago.
"You don't have to prepare gifts, you don't have to be so excited. Because you'll soon find that meeting Link is not something to be excited about."
Chapter completed!
