Kobe Bryant did not give in, even if Link was nearly 10 years younger than him, he did not give up resistance.
No. 24, wearing a golden shirt, once again held the ball with his back. He didn't want to be blown by young people like Jordan in his twilight years.
Kevin Durant can handle it, why can't he also handle Link?
Seeing Kobe holding the ball again, even the Grizzlies fans were extremely excited. There is no doubt that this will become the most classic game in the career confrontation between Kobe and Link.
It was even more classic than before, Link's jump shot lore to kill Kobe!
Because there are too many meanings in this game.
Kobe is like an emperor who is unwilling to destroy his own rule, doing desperate resistance. The Lakers fell unexpectedly last season, Bryant was reimbursed for the season, and the Grizzlies won the championship.
Kobe hasn't realized what happened, the world has changed.
From a championship contender to suddenly have to work for the playoffs, Kobe's character is really difficult to accept.
Therefore, Kobe desperately protected his last glory. He is not reconciled yet, not reconciled to being kicked out of the championship contenders.
Kobe knew that he had few chances to meet the championship in a season, so he cherished every opportunity to beat the championship.
He wanted to make himself look less outdated.
Even now, five minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, Link has scored 40 points!
Kobe turned over and leaned back. This is the most effective way for him to deal with Link now.
When Kobe leaned back in the air and jumped, he even had an obvious stagnation.
It is said that after Kobe's Achilles tendon ruptures, his athletic ability is greatly reduced, but in fact, he is still one of the best players in the world.
The basketball eventually jumped into the net under the interference of Link, and Bryant scored his 21st point in the game.
21 to 40, less than five minutes. If you have to judge, Kobe now is no different from Jordan in 2003. He must have lost! Jordan lost to the young No. 8, and today, Kobe will be in the hands of another young No. 0.
But the reason why Kobe is Kobe is because his aversion to defeat has reached a perverted level!
"Kobe Bryant shot and scored again. For the 21st point, he was still a terrible scorer. But now, the Lakers are still 12 points behind and there is not much time left for them."
Hubby Brown looked at the score difference, and the Grizzlies were still safe.
Since Link scored 11 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, he has been out of control. In the second and third quarters, Link also controlled the situation on the court. With jump shots, breakthroughs, dunks, Link is omnipotent, showing his almighty scoring skills wantonly.
The last time Link scored 30 points in a single game was already half a month ago against the Houston Rockets.
But today, Link is no longer humble. He wants to prove that he can be the king of votes, not just because of his skin color. His loss to the Thunder in the last game does not mean that the Grizzlies are in disaster.
Although Kobe performed extremely bravely, he scored 20 again. But in front of Link's explosive scoring performance, Kobe's 21 points also seemed very weak.
However, the persistence of Kobe and Gasol allowed the Lakers to survive until now. 12 points behind, this is indeed a big gap, but it is not an insurmountable gap.
Kobe believes that he still has a silver lining!
Kobe was still clearly stuck in the air when he just made a fall-back jumper, which surprised Link. Kobe's current state is much better than Jordan, who was 40 in 2003.
Now, the Lakers players are nervous. Because they knew that after Kobe had just scored that goal, Link would definitely retaliate!
A player who has scored 40 points before the game is over is a kind of pressure on the defensive side.
As soon as Link ran beyond the three-point line, it was obvious that the three surrounding players had moved a step towards him, ready to encircle.
Link did not rush, let Conley and Randolph fight their own cooperation first. The purpose is simple, to force others to stay away from themselves.
When Meeks had to chase Conley, and Gasol was transferred out of the penalty area by Randolph, Conley passed the ball out of the gap and sent it to Link!
Link smiled, Conley was like a roundworm in his stomach. Having a point guard teammate who is highly consistent with his own thinking can do more with less.
Kobe was not surprised to see Link receiving the basketball. He was ready to retreat. He knew that Link would definitely break through when Gasol was not in the penalty area.
Say it's too late and then it's fast, Link accelerates immediately! Because Kobe was well prepared, he retreated in time.
But Link's impact was so strong that Kobe felt a little overwhelmed.
Kobe took a breath and fought Link with all his strength. In any case, Kobe will never admit defeat!
But in the fierce confrontation, Kobe felt that he was gradually unable to keep up with Link's speed. In the end, Kobe regrettably fell while running at high speed and intense confrontation.
The referee could see clearly that Kobe fell by himself and Link did not commit any fouls. Therefore, there is no suspension of the game.
In this way, Kobe fell to the ground in embarrassment and was thrown away by Link. Link made an easy layup and scored his 42nd point in the game.
42 to 21, Link beat Kobe! Moreover, it was still in the case of almost the entire match against Kobe.
The gold content of this game can be higher than the gold content of the 2003 Kobe "violent" Jordan game!
14 minutes difference, 4 and a half minutes, 21 to 44.
Kobe lay on the floor, staring at the dazzling overhead light, and didn't have the first time to stand up.
He suddenly felt so tired, so exhausted, wishing to lie down on the floor for a while. He fought from 1996 to 2014, and his opponent changed from Jordan, Iverson, and James to Link.
He has used up all the power in his body, and this time, he feels that he is not able to turn the tide.
Kobe just lay on the floor, enjoying the short silence. He suddenly realized that enjoying the game without fighting or grabbing, it seemed pretty good...
Even if you want to grab, you can't grab these young people.
Kobe never imagined that the first person to appear in front of him after he fell was not Gasol, but Link who had just knocked him down.
Immediately after the layup, Link walked to Kobe, bent over, and extended his right hand to Kobe, "The war is over, man, admit it."
Kobe smiled and smiled at Link for the first time today. Because as Link said, the war is over. It's hard to imagine what it is like to make Kobe take the initiative to admit defeat, but now Kobe himself knows very well that he can no longer compete with Link.
Kobe took Link's hand and the two great players held each other tightly. Kobe seemed to have passed the king's scepter, which was a symbol of glory, from Jordan to Link's hands.
"You hurt me, won't you take care of the old man?"
Link, who scored 42 points, said nothing, just hugged Kobe gently. This super-giant battle, which was originally full of gunpowder, instantly became warm.
If Link heard correctly, Kobe had just called himself-the old man.
The proud black mamba had to lower his proud head in front of time.
In the subsequent game, Kobe's attack was not as fierce as before. Link also stopped being brutal and began to give his teammates more offensive ball rights.
Although the game is not over yet, the war between Link and Kobe had ended early.
Bill Simmons turned off the TV angrily. He couldn't imagine that Kobe, who had just fought Durant to the last minute, had actually compromised in front of Link!
Damn it! Sure enough, we can't expect any Lakers players!
In the next five minutes, the matchup between Link and Kobe was more like enjoying the game. Kobe enjoys his few time against high-level players, and Link enjoys the pleasure of looking down on Kobe.
In the end, the whole game ended with the Lakers' defeat. Link blasted 45 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, leading the Grizzlies to stop the bleeding in time at home with a ratio of 98 to avoid losing streaks.
And Link’s 45 points are more than a star and a half more than Kobe’s 26 points. This game is not just a victory for the Grizzlies Lakers. At the same time, it was Link's absolute victory over Kobe!
Whether the Lakers fans accept this result or not, Kobe himself has accepted this fact.
After the game ~EbookFREE.me~ Kobe and Link hugged closely. The two of them were surrounded by cameras, and the two of them became the only focus of the stadium.
The day after the game, the famous sideline reporter David Aldridge exposed what Kobe said in Link's ear.
"Kobe told Link that you are now the well-deserved All-Star vote king. Don't care about what the outsiders say, just keep going. In the end, your results will naturally make them shut up. Come on, vote king. Gave you the place."
No one believes that someone like Kobe would actually say such things. Everyone believes that David Aldridge made this up entirely for the sake of blogging.
In this regard, Kobe was also questioned by reporters, asking if he really said that to Link.
Kobe didn't answer yes or no directly, he just said lightly, "Why don't you interview the All-Star ticket king?"
The Lakers spread his hands easily on the 24th. The story of this league is no longer written by him.
