1033: Imperfect Monsters
All the Grizzlies fans in front of the TV were stunned.
The blocking one-stop counterattack dunk is something Link often does to others.
But few people can do so much trouble on Link.
How difficult is it to block Link? Once upon a time, the three Heat giants blocked Link at the same time, but they were all resolved by Link using an exaggerated rebound and pull-up.
After Guy Link blocking, it was even more difficult to avoid his anger and successfully dunk.
As we all know, Link is a man who will take revenge. The most important thing is that he does have the ability to take revenge.
If you cover him, he will definitely build him back at any cost.
People say that no counterattack is safe when playing against the Grizzlies.
Because you don't know when Link will appear behind you, and then press the basketball in your hand tightly on the rebound.
But this seemingly impossible thing happened to Link.
Jannis Antetokounmpo not only blocked Link, but also successfully fought back. He did what others could not do, directly challenging Link's dominance in the league!
This may be the first time in so many years, Link's start was so embarrassing.
"In the last game, Paul George was blocked several times by Antetokounmpo in a similar way. As it turns out, Antetokounmpo does have the ability to defend the top scorer in the league. I wonder if Link will repeat George's back today."
Milwaukee commentator was excited, if Antetokounmpo really won today...
Then this alliance will probably change its dynasty!
The Grizzlies made the second attack. This time, Wade decided to help the Grizzlies resolve the crisis, and the burden could not be entirely on Link alone.
However, Middleton is also a difficult character to mess with.
Like Klay Thompson, he is not very physically fit, but he won't make mistakes when defending.
Wade was entangled by Middleton, who was taller than him and had extremely slender arms. It was really hard to resist, so he planned to pass the ball to Gasol.
But before Gasol received the basketball, John Henson suddenly stretched out his arm to destroy the pass.
"Damn it!" Wade cursed inwardly and immediately retreated.
Wade thought he had passed the ball just now. Under normal circumstances, Gasol should be able to easily receive this ball.
But Wade ignored the perverted arm span of the Bucks players. He passed the ball safely in front of others, but it was not necessarily safe in front of the Bucks.
John Henson is 2.11 meters tall, but his wingspan reaches a terrible 2.26 meters!
The arm span is 15 cm more than the height!
The defense range of these long arms is naturally larger than that of others.
From Antetokounmpo to Middleton to John Henson, the Bucks players weave a tight line of defense with their excellent physical conditions.
The Grizzlies have tasted the power of Milwaukee's "Long-arm Team"!
Henson did not hesitate and handed the ball to Antetokounmpo immediately.
Link quickly followed, but like just now, he found it was not easy to catch up with Antetokounmpo.
That guy is really taking too big steps!
In the end, Link barely chased after him, but the blocking was not completed.
Antetokounmpo held the basketball high and gently put it into the basket.
Link waved his arms, but he was still a slight difference from basketball.
Antetokounmpo's height and wingspan made it not that easy for him to cover his layup.
"Another beautiful counterattack, Jannis is a good thing! The Grizzlies are in a tough battle, and they are now struggling on both sides of the offense and defense."
The cheers in the Bradley Center are getting louder and louder. If they weren't very confident in the team at the beginning, then now, they undoubtedly believe that the Bucks can win!
Then, Antetokounmpo continued to show his talent unscrupulously.
He turned around in a low post and walked to the basket, straightened his arms to prepare for a layup.
Link actually did not lose his position, but Antetokounmpo's long arm made him send the ball directly to the basket through Link. Such an incredible goal was a routine operation for Antetokounmpo.
Jabarri and Parker broke through to attract defense. After the Grizzlies contracted overall, they hit the ball to Antetokounmpo, who was ambushing the bottom line.
Link quickly rushed towards "Antetokounmpo", and at the same time, the rest of the Grizzlies also shrank to the basket.
However, Antetokounmpo used a beautiful pull-up action to avoid a bunch of arms blocking and hit the ball!
Of course, Antetokounmpo can do much more than just score.
He can compete with Gasol, an orthodox center in the interior, and not only attack the box in the counterattack, but also find better teammates to help them get the opportunity to score easily.
He is proficient in everything on the defensive end, stealing, blocking, and confrontation!
Antetokounmpo completely controlled the scene, and he made the fans in the Bradley Center no longer feel inferior!
By the end of the first quarter, the Bradley Center had no longer the peace of the past.
Instead, it was extremely fanatical! The long-suppressed emotions of Milwaukee fans finally broke out.
Now, they can say with confidence that the Bucks are a strong team!
"30-21, Antetokounmpo scored 12 points in a single quarter, and the Milwaukee Bucks took a 9-point lead in a single quarter! What did we see? We saw the Memphis Grizzlies being pushed by the Milwaukee Bucks so hard that they couldn't raise their heads! Link was almost suppressed by Antetokounmpo in the first quarter!"
Not to mention Memphis fans and neutral fans, even Milvon fans can’t believe this is true!
That No. 34, the "native" Bucks player, the guy who was not even selected in the lottery area, actually suppressed Link!
incredible!
He finished the block on Link's head, and he pulled the layup under Link's nose.
Once he rushed, even Link's pursuit would not work at all.
He scored 12 points in a single quarter, but only Link scored 7 points.
It seems that Antetokounmpo and Link have already decided!
Indeed, Link was once the strongest man in this league.
But now Antetokounmpo seems to be above everyone else.
"I think today, Link can't get the treatment of early rest!"
Link walked off the court and gasped.
The last time he felt that the game was so difficult, it was the Western Conference Finals last season.
But facing the "Galaxy Battleship" Warriors, Link didn't think it was one of their players who left him helpless.
In the Western Conference Finals last year, Link lost to the Warriors, not Durant alone, and Curry alone.
But today, Link was suppressed by Antetokounmpo and was very passive.
That guy is indeed giving the monster, his figure and athletic ability are perfectly combined.
This is the first time in years that Link is having trouble with one of the opponent's players!
"Antetokounmpo is announcing his rule over this alliance. Have you seen it? Link was completely beaten to the point of being unable to lift his head!"
"The two are so different in size. The Grizzlies shouldn't use Link to defend Antetokounmpo."
"No matter who they replace, I believe Antetokounmpo will continue to rage, just like he did to the Pacers!"
On the commentary stage, the two Milwaukee commentators were already a little floating.
In their opinion, the next three quarters will be a live broadcast of Antetokounmpo's subverting the league structure, and Link has no chance at all!
But Link won't give up so quickly. He did lose one quarter, but this doesn't mean losing the whole game!
Antetokounmpo will definitely not be able to solve the problem with the regular one-to-one method.
Link knew that unconventional players had to use some unconventional means to deal with them.
"Link, I need you to wait for him to come in the inside, let him shoot, and prevent him from breaking through! Harrell, you come on, I need you to use your mobility to help defend that monster at any time! Get up and cheer up, we haven't lost yet!"
As soon as Link walked off the court, Dave Joggel picked up the tactical board and shouted.
Link smiled, and they thought of going together!
This monster is indeed tricky, but it is not invincible.
Chapter completed!
