Reverse Growth Superstar - 1302
Alvin Gentry is now mixed.
Fortunately, Zion Williamson’s performance in the first quarter was quite satisfactory.
Although he did not directly face up with Link, at least he proved that he can score efficiently under the tight defense of the Grizzlies.
What’s worrying is that behind Zion’s outstanding performance, Brandon Ingram’s performance is really worrying.
As the Pelicans’ leading scoring team, Ingram did not score a point in the first quarter, knowing how much this will affect the Pelicans’ offense.
is 8 points behind, which puts Gentry under tremendous pressure.
If the score cannot be brought back in the second quarter, it will be very difficult to win.
The fourth quarter of the third quarter? Whether this game can reach the fourth quarter has to be said separately!
Playing against the Grizzlies, don’t expect to turn the tide at the last minute.
The second quarter is the only hope for the Pelicans to keep the possibility of winning.
Now, Gentry’s only choice is Zion Williamson. Only if he continues to maintain the performance in the first quarter in the subsequent games, the Pelicans have the strength to resist the Grizzlies.
So, Gentry emphasized the next tactic during the break, which is to use Williamson as the main attack, and then increase the intensity on the defensive end to get closer to the score.
Williamson is also the first time he has carried such a heavy burden. After listening to the coach’s arrangement, he nodded silently and took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, for the first time in his career, his match against Link was so intense.
The power of Link, just now Williamson has already fully realized.
But Williamson believes that as long as he is not against Link, he can continue to output efficiently.
He is full of confidence now.
The second quarter started very quickly, with the Grizzlies taking the lead.
After Conley took possession of the ball for half the time, he played a pick-and-roll with Jie Michael Green.
With Green’s screen, Conley got a fleeting shot.
At this time, Zion switched defenses again, preparing to delay Conley’s attack.
The experienced Conley did not hesitate and immediately played the ball. With quick eyes and quick hands, he immediately handed the ball to Green who was temporarily emptied.
Green took the ball and shot, the first quarter was suppressed so badly, he also needed a score to vent.
Finally, it’s time for him to score a goal over Zion.
But Green’s shot didn’t make a hit, and he didn’t even touch the basket.
Because the moment Green shot, Zion Williamson slapped the ball back by playing volleyball!
Williamson once again demonstrated his incredible long-range blocking ability.
For ordinary players, Green’s shots are outside the blocked range.
Not to mention the completion of the block, it is very difficult to interfere with the shot.
Ke Zion Williamson is different, his blocked shots cannot be measured by conventional means.
Green only felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, and the ball was slapped. He really didn’t expect Zion to come back to cover himself after defending Conley.
While Green was still in a daze, Zion Williamson had already rushed to the front court.
The basketball that he had just flown out of has fallen into the hands of teammate Lonzo Bauer.
Lonzo Ball + Zion makes a fast break. This is almost the way the Pelicans have the highest offensive success rate.
All Grizzlies fans stood up, no one knew what kind of dunk Zion would make later.
At the same time, Link moved closer to the center from the side edge of the court, preparing to defend the Pelicans’ counterattack.
Williamson stepped into the paint area like a prehistoric behemoth, then pointed his finger to the sky, motioning for Ball to receive the pass!
Ball saw Link who had already rushed to Zion’s side, so he deliberately tried harder when passing the ball.
Bauer believed Williamson’s bounce, and only if he threw it higher, he would not be intercepted by the opponent midway.
The ball passed very high, which is a height that most people cannot reach. Of course, it is nothing at all for Zion Williamson.
This attack will only have two endings, either Link steals the ball in the air or completes the block. Or, Zion gets the basketball in the air, and then buckles Link!
But Bauer believes that the latter is more likely to happen.
Williamson is a monster, and Link? He is in his thirties.
Zion and Link took off almost at the same time, and their goal was the basketball in the air.
Everyone held their breath. No matter who is the winner in this aerial duel, it will definitely be very popular!
The basketball is getting closer and closer to Zion’s palm, and he is quite confident when it comes to jumping.
But when he and Link’s body reached halfway up, he found that Link’s height was gradually surpassing himself, as if he was about to “overtake a corner”.
“What!?” Zion in the air was very surprised, and said without pride, he thought that his explosive power was very strong.
In terms of projectile speed, few people can match Zion.
Why can Zion always wreak havoc on the basket easily? In addition to being strong enough, he was already flying into the air before others had time to jump.
bullet speed, this is one of Zion’s greatest strengths.
But Link gained a faster ascent in the air than Zion, which is enough to show that Link’s bullet speed is so terrifying!
A 30-year-old veteran actually jumped faster than a post-00 champion who is known for his physical fitness!
In the end, Link took the lead to the basketball with a weak lead and abruptly snatched Ball’s pass to Zion.
In the audience, everyone was stunned.
Link and Zion are simply against the sky. I’m afraid that the shoes of those two guys are not equipped with anti-gravity devices!
It’s exaggerated that Zion just flew from a long distance to Green. Unexpectedly, Link would have even more exaggerated performances!
Link grabbed the basketball with one hand and landed steadily.
That posture is like a Superman who just landed from the sky.
Before Zion and Ball could react, Link took the basketball and started the fast break.
Just now Link’s steal not only surprised the fans, but also surprised the players on both sides.
Ball passed so high that even Zion had to do his best to receive it.
However, Link actually broke the ball!
Hubby Brown was stunned for a few seconds before finally remembering to speak: “Link’s limit is not the sky, but the **** universe!”
The 80-something-year-old Hubi yelled a swear word.
When everyone came back to their senses, Link had already fought back to the Pelicans halftime.
Pelicans rookie center Hayes, who just woke up from the awkward state, scrambled up to block Link, but was avoided by Link with a clean drawbar.
Just after showing his explosive physical fitness on the defensive end, Link showed his soft touch on the offensive end.
With a light pick, the basketball obediently refracted and fell into the net.
The point difference became 10 points, and the Pelicans had a bad start!
“Focus on buddy, don’t be careless.”
After the goal, Link just exhorted Jemichael Green with a few words, and did not make any celebration or rants.
He only knows that from now on, Zion will not even want to score easily!
This is not the first time Link has surprised Zion today. He deserves to be a man called “God”, his strength is beyond bottom!
But the attack just now didn’t mean nothing to the Pelicans. Except for the end, the Pelicans did everything perfectly.
The Grizzlies can’t have Link to wipe their **** every time they defend, right?
The Pelicans rushed in, this time the Pelicans team opened up space for Zion.
He connected to the basketball at the three-point line, ready to play one-on-one with Green!
Although Zion is a player who plays on the inside, he doesn’t just eat pie, and his level of offense with the ball is also extremely high.
Zion didn’t have so many bells and whistles to prepare for the three threats. After receiving the ball, he paused for a while, and then went straight!
“Boom!”
Green could even hear the loud noise when Zion kicked the ground. He was really worried that Zion would once again perform the miracle of stepping on his sneakers.
Green knew that he could hardly withstand Zion’s impact, but he still tried to push Zion to Link’s side according to the plan.
For the rest, he can only choose to believe in Link.
After Zion broke through halfway through, he jumped directly to the basket, and then his legs violently violently burst, and he wanted to dunk again!
Green had already been thrown away by Zion’s jump just now, he turned around, but saw that Link had rushed back to the penalty area, and then jumped frontally to prepare for Zion’s hard steel.
once again face-to-face duel in the air!
Zion Williamson is not a good passer, so Link doesn’t worry about him turning into a pass and splits the ball to Ingram outside the three-point line.
Next, as long as you can stop Zion in the air.
Stop Zion in the air, this is simply wishful thinking in the eyes of others.
Some Grizzlies fans even closed their eyes unbearably, because even Link looked too thin in front of Zion.
But Link was terrified, he raised his arms high and slammed up, and the two of them broke away from gravity once again and jumped to the height of the flat frame of their heads.
Zion has not been fooled. He has buckled players much larger than Link, which is not a problem at all!
But when the two collided in the air, Zion felt that his body’s momentum suddenly disappeared.
Link is like a fortress built in the sky, completely separating Zion!
Link was actually a little overwhelmed, he was almost crushed by Zion.
But he still clenched his teeth and persisted. The plan was half implemented, how could he lose here in Zion!
Both of them paused in the air for a second, no one overwhelmed anyone. Link did not complete the closure, nor did Zion complete the closure.
After the stalemate, Zion forced the basketball to the basket through Link~www.mtlnovel.com~ Unfortunately, due to the fierce confrontation and the distance from the basket, Zion’s dunk directly hit the basket. .
The hoop made a crisp sound, and the basketball flew directly out of bounds.
Grizzlies have the ball!
“Link is on defense, he withstood the impact of Zion Williamson! God, what an amazing duel! But no matter how abnormal enemies are encountered, Link can win!”
Hubie Brown stood up. Although the goal just now was not blocked or dunked, everyone was excited.
Zion fell down after landing, and Link held his center of gravity and landed safely.
At this time, Zion on the ground raised his head and glanced at Link, like a behemoth beheaded by a hero.
Link stared at Zion condescendingly for a few seconds, then turned and left.
And Zion?
There is a little more fear in this beast’s determined eyes
Link was the first person to be able to defeat him in an aerial duel.
Zion thought that as long as he didn’t match up with Link, there would be no problem scoring. But it turns out that this is only Zion’s wishful thinking, on the defensive end, Link is everywhere.
Below, Alvin Gentry wiped the sweat from his forehead.
People say that Zion is a beast, what about Link?
Well, that guy is not as good as a beast.
