1272: The perfect combination of body and technique
Antetokounmpo's two starts have made him beat. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
A rushing dunk after stealing Conley, and a 2+1 drop to the defender.
Although the subsequent extra free throws were not made, this did not affect Antetokounmpo's strength on the offensive end today.
At this moment, Antetokounmpo was a little nervous.
Because he found out that he seemed to have made Link angry.
Link held the ball in front of Antetokounmpo, and Link's physical condition was already quite excellent. But in front of Antetokounmpo, he was still one size smaller.
The Greeks opened their arms and completely covered Link.
But no one dared to take it lightly, and the entire Bucks team is now nervous.
Everyone knows that once Link takes the initiative to hold the ball, he will not easily miss the scoring opportunity.
Jokic mentioned the high position and set up cover for Link.
Antetokounmpo leaned against Jokic in advance, ready to bypass the cover at any time.
At the same time, Lopez is also on guard. Once Link breaks through, he must make up for defense as soon as possible.
As long as Link finds a little bit of gap, he can put the ball in.
The Bucks are the most defensive team in the league, no doubt about it.
But facing Link, they still felt unsure.
Link's offensive ability is above the strongest defense in the league!
Link slowly approached with the ball, and Antetokounmpo stared at Link.
Now he has the confidence to win the air showdown with Link.
Seeing this situation, Link, who had originally made a breakthrough, suddenly retreated and retreated outside the three-point line.
Antetokounmpo's reaction was also not slow, and in fact, he had been mentally prepared for this.
The reason why he dared to let Link go so far was because he knew that his arm span had an absolute advantage.
If an ordinary person lets Link so far, he will definitely not be able to interfere with Link's shooting, but Antetokounmpo is not.
He stretched out his arms and rushed forward.
Antetokounmpo's huge palm covered Link's eyes, and it looked like it was indeed a perfect interference.
Antetokounmpo gives people no less oppression on the defensive end than on the offensive end.
But Link's move was still calm. Antetokounmpo retreated so deeply, giving Link a little room to aim.
And that's more than enough for Link.
Most players may be scared and trembled when facing Antetokounmpo's long arms and giant palms.
But Link is different. He is the third player with the highest winning rate in the league!
Such interference would not make him nervous.
"brush!"
Antetokounmpo just smiled smugly when he noticed the sound of the Nets rolling behind him.
Link made a three-pointer, and Antetokounmpo's interference did not work at all!
"A pretty response, Link is simply ***. Few people can score against Antetokounmpo's defensive goal, but Link is definitely one of them. Link is improving the intensity of this game, and it's worth watching!"
After Link scored, the Grizzlies were only one point behind the Bucks.
Antetokounmpo shook his head unwillingly. Link's all-rounder is really difficult to deal with.
Although Link is not as proud as Antetokounmpo, he will use his omnipotent skills to let the Greeks know at least!
After one goal, Antetokounmpo wanted to hit the basket again. But after discovering that Link had put himself in a dead state, he gave up his plan to force the basket and handed the ball to his best helper Chris Middleton.
Middleton is also a typical case of a second-round pick in a comeback. He was selected by the Pistons in the second round in 2012 and was not reused.
But now, he is a top star in the league with an average of 21+6+4 per game and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41.8%.
Middleton's biggest advantage is his shooting, but today, Middleton was a little embarrassed against Jamie Cheung's defense.
Jamie Green has an absolute wingspan and height advantage. He was originally defensive to the fourth position, but today, Antetokounmpo in the fourth position is marked by Link.
So Green moved to Middleton.
Middleton just started shooting and found that his vision was completely blocked.
The feeling that Antetokounmpo was about to let Link experience just now appeared on Middleton by chance.
Green's interference made Middleton miss the shot and eventually hit the front of the basket.
Antetokounmpo immediately wanted to run wildly under the basket, hoping to fight for offensive rebounds.
After all, Jokic's athletic ability is not strong. Antetokounmpo can use his bounce that completely beat Jokic to force the back of his head to remove the board.
However, Antetokounmpo had just had this idea and found that Link had completely stuck himself.
Link's position was very timely. He used his small to be big and stuck Antetokounmpo, who was 8 centimeters taller than him, behind him.
Antetokounmpo feels he can't move. As a No. 3 player, Link's positioning skills are very good.
In the end, Jokic steadily took the rebound.
At the same time, Link turned flexibly and immediately turned into defense to offense.
Antetokounmpo gritted his teeth and had to say that Link did a very exquisite job in these details.
His skill is that he can always make a fortune with small capital.
Link quickly landed, but Antetokounmpo was not vague and hurriedly posted it on.
At this time, Link rudely used his elbow to push away Antetokounmpo, who was tall and long, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Antetokounmpo wanted to push him, but he couldn't get close to him when he was pressed against Link's elbow in his chest.
In this way, he watched Link get the basketball, and then suddenly jumped from quiet to dynamic, and plunged into the basket.
Of course, it is not that easy to get rid of Antetokounmpo's defense. His huge defense range can kill most stars' breakthroughs.
A few days ago, George was so embarrassed that he was so angry that he was not angry when facing Antetokounmpo.
Of course, Link knew this, and he never expected to break through Antetokounmpo's defense in this simple and crude way.
The reason why he suddenly plunged into the penalty area was because he wanted to play singles behind his back!
Link broke through halfway through and suddenly turned to holding the ball with his back. At this time, Antetokounmpo discovered that the rest of the Grizzlies had all gone to the other side.
"Do you want to fight one-on-one?" Antetokounmpo frowned, he was about to make Link look good.
Link plays Antetokounmpo from behind, which is equivalent to a small forward playing against the center from behind, and has no advantage at all.
Antetokounmpo is full of confidence. Link can still make the three-pointer just now. But this time, Link can't succeed in the inside fight.
Antetokounmpo stabilized his center of gravity, and Link also exerted his force for the first time, and pushed it in!
Suddenly, Antetokounmpo felt like a giant hammer was hitting him.
The huge power that Link had just burst out made him take a big step back!
"This is the purest and rough power showdown, and Link is not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Antetokounmpo!"
Mike Brynn widened his eyes. Although Link's core strength is well known, he really didn't expect that he could actually push his back on the head of Antetokounmpo, a guy who developed his body to the extreme.
Antetokounmpo's chest was stuffy, and the moment just now made him breathless.
Link didn't give him time to breathe, and soon, the second collision followed one after another.
After two confrontations, Link hit the basket, then turned around to the inside of the basket, ready to make a layup!
"It's not that easy!" Although Antetokounmpo was pushed to the basket, he still did not admit defeat.
Seeing Link turn around and prepare to make a layup, he jumped high!
With his physical fitness, it is not difficult to jump off the ground at the basket and block Geilink's layup!
But when Antetokounmpo tried his best to send himself into the air, he realized that Link was just a fake move!
Link, who flew Antetokounmpo, turned out to the basket and then easily threw the basketball on the board, and then successfully scored the goal.
"The beautiful footsteps under the basket, Link's rhythm is really good. People are eager to avoid Antetokounmpo in the paint area. Link is good, but he actually chose to play back."
The moment Link scored, Mike Bryn waved his arms excitedly.
Instead of rushing around with his physical talent, he still prefers this kind of fighting style that uses skills to resolve crises.
What's more, what Link just showed was not just a skillful side. He was able to hit Antetokounmpo's back from mid-range, and he could fly Antetokounmpo with his superb steps under the basket.
What Link just showed is a perfect combination of body and skills!
Link scored five points in a row and led the Grizzlies to regain the gap. His counterattack would definitely hurt the Greeks.
Antetokounmpo unwilling to punch the basketball hoop pad, and he couldn't believe that he was actually being fooled by Link at the basket.
"Look wide, you have more to learn, boy." Link didn't speak softly, he added fuel to the fire and continued to stimulate Antetokounmpo's nerves.
So what if you have a height of 2.11 meters and a wingspan of 2.24 meters?
Link will be beaten!
At the beginning of the game, Link and Antetokounmpo entered a tit-for-tat rhythm.
Who can win with the ultimate body and the ultimate skills?
Chapter completed!
