Finding Link staring at him, Anthony Davis frowned.

For some reason, a trace of fear grew in his heart.

Davis was a little nervous when he played in the playoffs for the first time. What's more, he was very unlucky to play in the playoffs for the first time and met the number one in the Western Conference...

It is still the number one in the West that can make the Warriors win 67 and win.

Davis shook his head and did not continue his random thoughts.

Anyway, he is not mainly against Link today, and he is still very confident in dealing with Tobias Harris.

Davis knew very well that he was the hope of the Pelicans' victory, and he had no intention of evading responsibility.

He will do his best. If he can win a game on the Grizzlies, it will definitely make himself famous and prove his strength.

Davis then avoided Link's gaze and turned to the basketball.

Link smiled, Davis had already started to escape! His eyes had betrayed himself.

The referee threw the basketball into the air, and Gasol Jr. competed for the basketball from Omire Asik's head.

In the stands, the cheers drowned out the entire arena. The sound of fans shouting and stomping their feet made Davis, who had experienced the playoffs for the first time, feel a little palpitations.

Conley stopped outside the three-point line and calmly directed the attack.

Anthony Davis stood in front of Link, spreading his long arms. Davis was officially tall at 2.08 meters, of course, in Link's opinion, it must be more than 1.5 meters. The wingspan is 2.27 meters, which is very superior.

He stood in front of Link, like a double sofa.

Seeing Davis take the initiative to defend Link, the fans cheered even louder.

Davis did not match Link on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, Pelicans coach Monty Williams specially arranged for him to defend Link.

The biggest shortcoming of the Pelicans' lineup is that the number three position is too short, Tyrek Evans and Quincy Pondsett are less than 2 meters tall.

Although height is not everything about defense, Evans and Pondsett are not very powerful defensive players.

If they were asked to defend Link... Monty Williams couldn't believe how serious the consequences were.

Therefore, he simply asked Anthony Davis to defend Link and block the opponent's sharpest spear with a solid shield.

Davis is undoubtedly a star who is both offensive and defensive. His excellent physical condition makes him always go all the way on the defensive end.

Average of 2.9 blocks and 1.5 steals per game is already a good idea. Davis has been the league's blocking champion for two consecutive years, and this year, he is still very likely to be selected for the All-Defensive Team.

Let Davis defend Link is the best way for the Pelicans to curb Link.

Link was not surprised to see that it was Davis defending him, but instead became excited.

Now, there is no need to look for it, the opponent will come to the door!

Link ran to the right corner and did not hold the ball to fight Davis. He knew very well that Davis was not only the strongest player in the Pelicans' defense, but also the Pelicans' defensive core.

As long as Davis is fished out of the penalty area, the Pelicans' defensive quality will be greatly reduced.

After Link pulled Davis away, Conley understood and sent the ball to Gasol, who was in the low position.

Facing the one-on-one defense of Turkish Asik, Gasol tried to score without any effort.

Gasol suddenly leaned back, knocked Ashik away, turned around and hooked his hand, and easily scored a goal.

2-0, the Grizzlies scored first. And this crushing offensive showed the domineering spirit of the defending champion.

Although Gasol scored the goal, Kevin Harlan cheered for the Pelicans.

"Anthony Davis did not let Link catch the ball this time, and his defense range was wide enough even in front of Link! If you continue to keep it, the Pelicans will definitely get a chance!"

"Puff!" As soon as Kevin Harlan finished speaking, Bill Simmons almost couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, but I don't think Davis had just defended Link. Anyway, keep watching the game."

The Pelicans' first attack is not as gentle as the Grizzlies. As soon as they come up, they plan to find Anthony Davis!

Almost everyone thinks that Davis's opponent today is Tobias Harris, but when the Pelicans players all attacked, they found that Harris was guarding in front of Pondsett.

And Link, he was staying around Davis.

Today, Link is the real No. 4 player of the Grizzlies!

"Link actually defended in front of Davis. He is so confident! In terms of height, Link is completely at a disadvantage! I know Link has played at the fifth position, but Anthony Davis is different from other inside players. His independent offensive ability is the top in the league."

Kevin Harlan is still full of confidence in Anthony Davis, and he believes that players like Davis are the masters of the future basketball court.

Davis leaned against Link in the low post and raised his hand to ask for the ball. As a pure fourth position, he believed that he could have an advantage in low post singles.

Link did not circumvent the way, but pressed his head behind Davis.

Eric Gordon steadily lifted the ball into the penalty area, and Davis grabbed the ball with a slight stretch of his hand.

Davis's big hand allowed him to catch the basketball steadily and steadily. He didn't be polite to Link, and he leaned back suddenly the moment he got the ball!

Although Anthony Davis is not a heavy insider, his strength is not weak.

But when Davis pushed her like this, Link didn't take a step back!

Anthony Davis was defeated by Link, and he stood there awkwardly. The most taboo thing for inside players to play singles at low post is to not be able to move people.

"This..." Kevin Harlan didn't expect that Link to Davis would be so relaxed.

God knows how much strength Link has...

Davis was also a little surprised. Is this the intensity of the playoffs?

But he was always one of the best four positions in the league. After finding that he could not handle Link, Davis immediately changed his strategy, leaned on Link and turned around to break through.

He believes that with his greater pace and better height and wingspan, he should be able to easily defeat Link in a breakthrough offense.

But Davis had just taken a step after turning his back, and before he could even attack the frame, he found that the basketball was out of his control!

Davis looked down and saw that Link had cut the ball cleanly.

"How is that possible..." Davis really didn't expect Link to react so quickly. Logically, the players who were on the defense were all throwing their center of gravity forward, and it was difficult for them to retreat in time.

In most games, whenever Davis meets an opponent who is on the verge of defense, he will immediately turn around and make a breakthrough.

In fact, Davis's judgment was not wrong. He was wrong, and he was wrong, and he beat Link up as an ordinary person.

Link cut off the basketball and quickly passed through Davis, holding the basketball firmly in his hand.

Seeing that Link killed himself almost effortlessly, Davis's mentality collapsed...

In just one round, he seemed to see the huge gap between himself and Link.

Link immediately took the ball after stealing and assisted Jimmy Butler to make a quick break.

The fans in the stands of the Federal Express Arena were still cheering, and Bill Simmons didn't think the scene was too surprising.

They had long expected such an ending.

And, this is just the beginning.

Anthony Davis' nightmare tonight is still there.
Chapter completed!
