Chapter 73 (1/2)

At the end of the second quarter, Kobe was in unexpected trouble. He thought Tony Allen was the only Grizzlies player who could play against him one-on-one. But I didn't expect that the 0 rookie's defense was so mature.

Not only Kobe, but link's defense shocked almost all staples fans, reporters and commentators. If it's understandable that link can beat Matt Barnes, then the Los Angeles fans can't accept the fact that link can defend Kobe in a row.

The 24 is their hero, their leader. But now, it's been suppressed by a draft they despise. And most importantly, as defending champions, they are now two digits behind the Grizzlies who didn't make it to the playoffs last season.

Los Angeles people are restless, but when they finally start to face up to their opponents, it's too late.

At the end of the second quarter, Kobe finally scored four points on link. But there's no doubt that's not what Kobe wants. He didn't decide to play the second quarter in order to score just four points on link's head.

Link's defense combined with Pau Gasol's attack allowed the Grizzlies to maintain a 10 point difference at the end of the first half.

At half-time, a reporter from the sidelines found Kobe. On the camera, Kobe is gnashing his teeth, obviously very angry. As a drop - off draft that can irritate Kobe, link is also quite successful.

”They are tough and we have to play more tenacious than them in the second half Kobe simply said a word and then turned away, which shows that the Grizzlies have given Kobe a lot of pressure.

On the other side, when the Grizzlies returned to the dressing room, Hollins' first thing was to praise link's defensive performance.

He didn't expect to use link to defend Kobe. If not for Mayo's ”righteousness” to give the ”benefits” to link, Hollins would not have found that link's defensive potential was so high.

”Link's fighting spirit is worthy of everyone's imitation, even in the face of the strong, we can't step back! I know, about 90% of the people out there want to see us roll home in the dust. But look at the present, who is the leader! In the second half, keep your momentum going. The defending champion is not invincible

”Roar!”

Hollins said, the Grizzlies in the dressing room of all members of a big drink. Link dare to challenge the authority at the end of the second quarter, so that the team's morale.

After the second half of the game, Rudy Gay's performance continued to be efficient. Black and white double bears in the inside line, but also the state of the champion twin tower dead suppression.

After joining link, Kobe had to fight Tony Allen hand to hand, which made him tired physically and mentally. The Lakers have been suppressed by the Grizzlies all over the line, and the gap has not narrowed, but has been widened.

When the rotation time comes again, the commentator in the stands is excited immediately. Because today's most amazing player, link, is coming out again.

In the third quarter, Kobe didn't continue to play the whole quarter. So again, it's Matt klin.

But by this time, Barnes can't spit garbage around linkel. If even Kobe can't handle this kid, Barnes thinks it's better not to irritate the other side.

Barnes is still fierce on the defensive side, but this ferocity is not enough for link. Grant Hill played in the '90s, and his defense is not fierce at all.

During Rudy Gay's break, link kept the Grizzlies strong in position three. Phil Jackson initially thought Matt Barnes was more than enough to defend link, but at this time, the ”Zen master” had to reevaluate link's ability in his mind.

After three quarters of war, the difference became 15 points. Staples Center is so dead that the fans here can't accept that they are going to be defeated by a ”fish belly team”.

Kobe, sitting on the bench, shook his head and looked at the statistics on the big screen. Except for himself, Pau Gasol scored in double digits.

However, Pau Gasol just got 10 points. In today's game with his brother, Gasol is a complete defeat.

Back then, the Lakers traded Pau Gasol for Pau Gasol. At the time, people said it was a robbery deal. But for now, the Grizzlies don't seem to be losing.

In the fourth quarter, the demoralized defending champion failed to organize an effective counterattack. Kobe is carrying the team on his own, but with Tony Allen and link in the wheel battle, it's hard to blow up his score.
