430: Iron waist

Josh Smith, Link certainly knew that the guy in front of him was not simple. Although he had never been selected for the All-Star lineup, this does not mean that Josh was not strong enough. Just like Link's teammate Conley had never been selected for the All-Star team, no one would question his ability.

What people talk about most is his explosive physical fitness, the brutal dunks and the inhumane crazy blocks.

On December 18, 2004, he gave 10 blocks in a single game against the Mavericks, becoming the youngest player in the league to win 10 blocks in a single game, and made people remember the name of this high school genius. In the 2005 Slam Dunk Contest, Josh also showed his physical fitness to the fullest.

Among the five best NBA goals every day, Josh's blocking and dunks will appear from time to time.

But in addition to the ability to fly and escape from the earth, Josh is actually remarkable in other aspects.

He claimed to be a "middle shot guy" and was criticized for being one of the most unpleasant nicknames in the league. He shot 33% of three-point shooting percentage in the 10-11 season. As a brutal forward, people have ignored it. He can actually make 4.2 assists per game! Of course, not to mention that he once scored 22 rebounds in a single game, and last season he even averaged 9.6 rebounds per game as a No. 3 player.

Therefore, facing Josh who was holding the ball, Link did not relax. Indeed, Josh's shooting was not stable enough, and he always liked to shoot. But even so, Link was unwilling to let Josh take a step.

Although this is Link's third season in the league, it is actually the first real fight between Link and Josh.

When Link first entered the league, the Grizzlies had already played all the games with the Hawks. Last season was a shrinking season, the Grizzlies and the Hawks had a match. In that game, Link's opponent was Joe Johnson, because Rudy Guy was against Josh at the time.

Therefore, all Josh's perception of Link actually comes from videos and rumors. Josh doesn't know how much this guy is.

Seeing that Link was so tight, Josh made a tentative move, and then suddenly activated, intending to crush Link to break through with his strong body that was not inferior to James!

"It's too iron." Link complained in his heart, then raised his chest and pressed it on.

At the moment when the two sides collided, Josh was shocked by the fact that this guy's strength and ability to confrontation were much stronger than he seemed!

Josh's speed and confrontation are not a problem, but breakthroughs always give people a very slow feeling. The main reason is that Josh's dribbling skills are really bad.

Now that Link is hit by this, Josh is even more insulting. Link then seizes the opportunity to start and the basketball loses control!

"Josh Smith dropped the ball, Link stretched out his long arm to get the basketball and advanced with the trend. In the first round, Link completed the steal against Josh Smith!"

Hubby Brown was instantly excited, and the stands behind him became louder. In the first round, Josh tasted Link's suffocating defense.

Indeed, Josh was selected for the All-Defensive Second Team in the 2009-10 season. But don't forget that Link was a member of the All-Defensive and All-Squad Double Second Team last season!

Although Link completed the steal, the showdown between the two sides was not over yet. Everyone knows how powerful Josh Smith is to chase the big shot. Every season, this guy can cut out a collection of not short lengths.

Link isn't completely safe yet, and his showdown with Josh continues! Everything can happen before actually putting the basketball in the rim.

While advancing quickly, Link turned his head and looked at Josh and found that Josh was very close to him! This guy is indeed very physically compatible. His speed is really not slow without dribbling.

Josh, who was following Link, had already thought about it. If Link chose to pass the ball, he would swear Link was a coward and dared not face him head-on!

Although passing the ball to a better teammate is the right choice, Josh doesn't want to miss the opportunity to put pressure on Link for a moment.

Just then, Josh was surprised to find that Link, who was cutting into the basket, jumped directly in front of him!

This guy wants to dunk!

"Looking for death!" Josh followed him up, jumping, he would not be afraid of a player who survived in the league by relying on his skills!

Everyone held their breath. This was the first time these two small forwards faced each other head-on in the air!

Josh was indeed a little stronger than Link in terms of rebound speed and jumping height. Although he jumped backwards, Josh quickly rushed to the same height as Link!

This former high school genius waved his arms, and as his palms got closer and closer to the basketball, he could not wait to enjoy the pleasure of pressing the ball on the rebound and then appreciating the other party's surprise expression.

However, just as Josh's palm was about to hit the basketball, Link tried hard to curl up in the air, and then took back the basketball. Josh Smith saved the ball!

"What!?" Now, the expression of surprise turned into Eagle No. 5.

Link, who cut into the basket diagonally, curled up and took back the basketball, avoided the cover, flew past under the basket, glided to the other side of the basket, and then used his powerful waist and abdomen to straighten his body again, and directly hung the frame with his hands on his back!

"Boom!" With the loud noise from the basket, the basketball hoop made a "crying" sound.

The Federal Express Stadium was suddenly as hot as a volcano eruption. Everyone who witnessed the performance on the spot couldn't help but stand up and cheer!

What kind of fairy dunk is this!?

"Rink just now completed a pull-rod back buckle!" Master Hubby Brown took off his glasses and wiped them. This was the first time in his life that he couldn't believe what happened before his eyes.

If the person who just finished the dunk was Russell Westbrook or Blake Griffin, then Old Hubby wouldn't be surprised.

But Link!?When did this guy become a deductive player??

"The incredible waist and abdomen strength needs to be folded and re-bolted in such a short time. This is not enough to jump high. What kind of power does Link contain? What else does he have to show?" His young partner next to Old Hubi was also frightened.

Link let go of his hand, dropped from the basket, and then rushed to Josh. Smith nodded and left.

"What the hell did you do just now?" Randolph was covered in goose bumps. If it weren't for being on the court, he would probably have imitated Nick Young, and after watching the dunk, he lay on the floor exaggeratedly.

"Damn, you guys, you can, your iron waist! Electric small motor! You can stop and say you can stand up!" Even Iguodala, who is known for her physical fitness, praised Link in surprise.

Link was very calm on the surface, but in fact he was very panicked! Just now, he actually wanted to use a pull-rod layup to avoid Josh's block, but after gliding to the other side of the basket, Link felt that he didn't seem to have fallen much. If he counted the length of his arm, he should be able to buckle, so he suddenly raised his waist and smashed the ball in with his back to the basket!

Link has never tried such a difficult dunk, but he didn't expect it to succeed! There is no doubt that this once again greatly stimulated Link's desire to upgrade quickly. If he upgraded a few more times, wouldn't he be able to dunk from the free throw line in actual combat!

Everyone who dunked was surprised, let alone those who dunked.

After a one-stop steal, the tie-in folding dunk was opened in the first round, Link allowed Josh to see the strength of Player of the Month and the Western Conference All-Stars.

Josh was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered to put away his dislocated chin.
Chapter completed!
