Yangnis Antetokounmpo and Link.
Apart from having the same manager, these are two unrelated players.
But in fact, Antetokounmpo has always admired Link, who is under the same manager as him.
The story of Link's growth from being an obscure draft pick to a league superstar has always been the driving force that inspired Antetokounmpo's continuous improvement.
Although the personal relationship between the two is not good, there are often private exchanges.
After the Grizzlies were eliminated by the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals last season, Antetokounmpo even said,
No matter who wins the championship in the end, he is not the best player in the league because the best player in the league wears the Grizzlies jersey. ."
Antetokounmpo's ability to speak such words in support of Link and the Grizzlies is enough to prove his respect and love for Link.
But at the time, Antetokounmpo was still an inconspicuous little character, and he didn't care much about speaking.
This young man who doesn't shoot three-pointers, averages less than 20 points per game, and fails to lead his team to the playoffs, only has a reputation among a small number of fans.
Speaking of the Bucks, the most talked about is Jabari Parker, No. 1 in the 14th year, Greg Monroe, Middleton who is becoming more and more superstar, head coach Jason Kidd, and even Larry Sanders who claims to give up basketball for the sake of art.
Yangnis Antetokounmpo? Many people would never read this name at all.
But this year, although the season has just begun. But the name Yangnis Antetokounmpo has been reported more and more frequently, and it has become more and more well-known.
Because this year, this "Greek monster" has officially begun to wreak havoc in the league!
On October 26, the Bucks opened their home game against the Hornets.
Although the Bucks eventually lost the ball, Antetokounmpo scored 31 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the first game, and the shooting rate was as high as 61.9%. The Hornets were unable to fight back!
The aggressiveness of this young man is impressive.
And in this game, it seems that the Bucks and the "Greek monster" have unlocked the general seal, making them unstoppable in the subsequent games.
Against the Nets on October 29, Antetokounmpo contributed 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. And at the last moment, after teammate Jabari, Parker missed a key shot, Yangnis stretched his long arms and easily took off offensive rebounds among the many Nets players and completed the top-up lore!
In the third game against the Pistons, Antetokounmpo had 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. He was still fearless in the face of Drummond's rim and played quite comprehensively. In the end, he led the Bucks to win the game.
On November 1, Antetokounmpo scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals with a 61.1% shooting rate against the powerful Pacers in the east. General" Paul George completely suppressed!
In this game, the Bucks eventually won 125 to 107!
If Antetokounmpo was just a small fight before, then the game against the Pacers and George is really famous.
The Pacers are definitely a strong team in the hearts of most fans. They are one of the few teams in the East that can compete with James.
Paul George is also considered to be one of the best small forwards in the league. He is compared with Link and James.
But no one thought that the Milwaukee Bucks, who had no sense of existence before, would beat the Pacers so embarrassed.
So far, the Bucks have achieved a three-game winning streak after losing to the Hornets in the opening game. And in these three games, Antetokounmpo played very well.
3 wins and 1 loss record also put the Milwaukee Bucks among the best in the East.
The young Greek who just renewed the contract with the Bucks for 4 years and 100 million this summer told the world that the Bucks did not look away.
Looking back now, the growth trajectory of this "Greek monster" is extremely clear.
In the 13-14 season, he was still an ignorant rookie who spoke extremely poor English. He was 19 years old in 28 days. That season he was the youngest player in the league. As the "leftover" of the team, he did not get any chance.
In the 14-15 season, his free throws increased by a notch, and his shooting percentage increased by 6 percentage points. He began to become a stable scoring point for the team, contributing 12.7 points per game, and his height has grown from 2.08 meters to 2.11 meters, and the team's winning percentage exceeds 50%.
In the 15-16 season, he began to occasionally appear in the top ten shots. People find that this young man who is always running tirelessly can often put the ball in under the enclosure of three people.
Until this year, "Greek Monster" officially became famous. He has become a player who can truly defeat the opponent on his own, and he has become a well-deserved core of Milwaukee!
With a 2.21 meter wingspan, the line of defense he forged is almost impossible to break through.
After entering the league, his height has continued to increase, so that he has now reached almost 2.13 meters!
But he has the height of a center, but he has the dribble and speed of a defender at the same time, which makes him unfavorable in the third position and makes his counterattack unstoppable.
At the same time, he is also a big hand monster with a length of 12 cm longer than the average palm of an adult man and a length of 30.5 cm. This allows him to always complete all kinds of incredible attacking frames. You know, Leonard, who is famous for his hands, is "only" 28.6 cm long!
Of course, his amazing athletic ability to jump, block or dunk in an instant, and the huge skeleton covering his entire body is even more impressive.
This guy doesn't show too much skill on the court. His shooting is not accurate, and he is more like playing basketball by intuition.
His monster body seems to be destined to be born for basketball.
People joked that watching Antetokounmpo play, you can't learn anything, because he is purely talented!
But even so, even in the NBA, where there are geniuses everywhere and everyone is talented, he can't stop him.
And the most exaggerated thing is that this guy is not yet 22 years old! His upper limit is simply incalculable!
After four games, everyone admitted that Milwaukee returned to the ranks of the strong team and Antetokounmpo became a player worth seeing!
Even many media put news with such a headline on the front page-"Yannis Antetokounmpo~EbookFREE.me~After James and Link, the next face of the league!"
Finally, after the "Greek monster" ravaged four games, the Grizzlies and the Bucks will meet in the game.
Everyone wants to know whether Link can stop the impact of this "monster" after George.
Link, a player who once frightened the league, can he stop Antetokounmpo’s continued destruction.
In front of Antetokounmpo, an incomparably perverted striker, will Link be forced to do his best?
One team has just won four consecutive victories, and one has a three-game winning streak.
A player unleashes his talent to the fullest every night and beats every opponent to the utmost.
There is nowhere for a player to release his abilities, because he simply cannot meet an opponent he can match.
Now, they finally meet!
The news of Antetokounmpo VS Link, dominated the covers of all sports websites!
Not only fans and the media are looking forward to this game, the "Greek Monster" himself can't restrain the urge to play.
At the training session the day before the game, Antetokounmpo said in an interview,
I am looking forward to playing against Link. He has always been my idol and I will do my best to beat him! Yes, I If I want to win, I think I should be able to win too."
This monster in the true sense has already begun to look at another forward from Fresno University.
