: Sixty-eight: A dreamlike life is about to begin

　　 At the end of the second quarter, Kobe encountered unexpected trouble. He thought Tony Allen was the only player on the Grizzlies who could play against himself in one-on-one. But I didn't expect that the defense of this No. 0 rookie was so sophisticated.
　　 Not just Kobe, Link’s defense shocked almost all Staples fans, reporters and commentators. If Link can beat Matt Barnes and people can understand it, then Link can continuously defend Kobe, which makes Los Angeles fans unacceptable.
　　 The 24th is their hero, their leader. But now, they are suppressed by a draft that they look down on. And most importantly, as the defending champions, they are already behind the Grizzlies who didn't make the playoffs last season by double digits.
　　 The Los Angelesers started to restlessly, but when they finally started to face their opponents, it was too late.
　　 At the end of the second quarter, Kobe finally scored four points on Link. But there is no doubt that this is not the result Kobe wants. He decided to play the entire second quarter, not just to score four points on Link.
　　 Link's defense matched Gasol's offense, allowing the Grizzlies to maintain a 10-point difference at the end of the first half.
　　 During the intermission, a reporter from the sidelines found Kobe. On the camera, Kobe gritted his teeth, obviously very angry. As a failed draft pick that can irritate Kobe, Link is quite successful.
　　 "They are very tenacious, we have to play more tenacious than them in the second half." Kobe simply said a word and turned away, which means that the Grizzlies have given Kobe huge pressure.
　　 On the other side, after the Grizzlies players returned to the locker room, Hollins first thing was to greatly appreciate Link's performance on the defensive end.
　　 He didn't expect to use Link to defend Kobe. If Mayo hadn't given up all the "benefits" to Link, Hollins couldn't find 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 take a step back! I know that about 90% of the people outside want to watch us roll home dingy. But look. Now, who is in the lead! In the second half, keep your fierce energy going. The defending champion is not invincible."
"Roar!"
　　 Hollins finished speaking, and all the members of the Grizzlies locker room shouted. Link dared to challenge authority at the end of the second quarter, which boosted the team's morale.
　　 After the start of the second half, Rudy Gay continued to perform efficiently. The black and white double bears also suppressed the poorly formed champion twin towers.
　　 After Link continues, Kobe has to fight Tony Allen again, which makes him physically and mentally exhausted. The Lakers were suppressed by the Grizzlies across the board. Not only did the point difference not narrow, it was getting bigger and bigger.
　　 When the rotation time came again, the commentator in the stands became excited immediately. Because today's most surprising player, Link, is about to play again.
　　 In the third quarter, Kobe did not continue to play the entire quarter. Therefore, Link's matchup has again become Matt Barnes.
　　 At this time, Barnes no longer spouts trash talking next to Link's ear. If even Kobe can't handle this kid, Barnes thinks it's better not to provoke him.
　　Barnes is still fierce on the defensive end, but this fierceness is not to be feared by Link. Grant Hill has played in the 90s, and the defense now is not fierce compared to that time.
　　 During Rudy Gay’s rest period, Link kept the Grizzlies strong in the third position. Phil Jackson thought that Matt Barnes was more than enough to defend Link, but at this time, the "Zen Master" had to reassess Link's ability in his mind.
　　 After three quarters, the points difference became 15 points. The Staples Center was lifeless, and the fans here couldn't accept that they were going to be defeated by a "fishy team".
　　 Kobe sitting on the bench shook his head and glanced at the statistics on the big screen. Apart from himself, only Gasol scored in double digits for the Lakers.
　　 However, Gasol just happened to score 10 points. In today's duel with his brother, Gasol can be said to be completely defeated.
　　I think at the beginning, the Lakers traded Gasol for Gasol. At the time, people said it was a robbery transaction. But for now, it seems that the Grizzlies are not at a loss.
　　 In the fourth quarter, the defending champion with low morale failed to organize an effective counterattack. Kobe carried the team forward alone, but under the wheel of Tony Allen and Link, it was difficult for Kobe's scoring to burst.
　　 Finally, when Link blocked Kobe's mid-range jumper for the last time, the score was fixed at 104 to 85, with the away team in front and the home team behind. The incredible Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Grizzlies, who currently can't even make the top eight in the West, with a humiliating score of 19 points at home!
"For the Grizzlies, this is a great victory. They have proved with practical actions that they are capable of defeating the league's top teams. So far, the Grizzlies have won five consecutive victories. I hope this season, we can I saw the Grizzlies in the playoffs. After today’s game, I believe Link will definitely win a guaranteed contract for himself. Believe me, from then on, the NBA will have another ruthless role. ."
　　 At the end of the game, the narrator dedicated all the beautiful words to the Grizzlies and Link. Although Link's 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists are not gorgeous today, his defense of Kobe is impressive.
　　 There was a huge boo in Staples, but this did not affect the joy that the victory brought to the Grizzlies players. Link was the first to be hugged by Randolph. Before he could react, he was firmly "locked" by the bear, and then unavoidably touched his head for a while.
　　 Finally broke free from Randolph, but Link found that Kobe was looking at him not far away. But compared to just now, Kobe's eyes are much gentler now.
　　 "You actually beat me at my home court." Bryant said as he approached Link.
　　 At the same time, there are at least dozens of cameras around Kobe. Link can feel this, what is meant by own flow.
　　 "What is this guy going to do? It's not going to be singled out with me..." Link was a little nervous and didn't know what to say.
As everyone knows, Kobe actually hugged up and patted Link on the back, "Good fight, kid, keep it up. I don't want you to return to the Development League, because then, I can't revenge myself. ."
　　 Link swallowed. Could this guy like Kobe even bless others to make people shudder?
　　 "By the way, you know Grant Hill? What is your relationship with him?" After the hug, Kobe asked curiously.
　　 "Huh!?" Link was a little panicked at first. If he is found to be a traverser, it is estimated that someone from the Pentagon will arrive within a few minutes. But then I thought, Kobe couldn't tell.
　　 "Basketball fans all over the world know Grant Hill, Bryant." Link replied slyly.
"I mean, are you familiar with him in private? I feel that your defense is like a combination of Hill and Tony Allen. Tony Allen is your teammate and he can teach you~www.mtlnovel .com~Kill..."
　　 "No," Link immediately shook his head and denied, "I and Hill have never met in private. In fact, I really want to meet him. After all, he is my idol since I was a kid."
"Really..." Kobe looked at Link for the last time and smiled, as if he had found a new prey, which made "Black Mamba" extremely excited. "The next time he meets, Link . You never want to take victory from me."
　　 After speaking, Kobe turned and left. Of course, those dozens of cameras also went away.
　　 Link stood in place, looking at the noisy stands and his teammates celebrating Henry, feeling that his life became more and more dreamy.
　　 He actually defeated the defending champion at Staples, and was "interviewed" by Kobe, one of the best players on the planet.
　　 It is not easy to win the respect of Kobe, only those who are strong enough will be regarded as opponents by that guy.
　　 This dreamlike game is over, but the real dream life has just begun.
　　 Link glanced at his head coach Hollins and found him on the phone. Maybe this guy is negotiating a guaranteed contract with the Grizzlies general manager.
　　 Yes, after this game, Link’s second ten-day short contract with the Grizzlies will end with only one game. In other words, Link will soon get rid of the status of a temporary worker and become a formal NBA player with a guaranteed contract!
　　 Although the team has not notified Link to sign, he has such confidence. Nonsense, a player who can guard Kobe, a player who can score 20+ points in a single game, if the Grizzlies let go, it would be too unreasonable.
　　 After all, not all general managers are like Rockets’ Morey, who only recognizes money in their eyes.
