1300: Better physical fitness than 98% of NBA players
Ingram was stunned when the Pelicans attacked in the first leg.
Of course, I was also scared to the "fat tiger" on the side.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Zion competes with Link.
As a post-00s player, Zion Williamson naturally has not experienced Jordan's glory personally.
Michael Jordan is actually just a name to Zion.
And Link is Jordan in the hearts of players of Zion's age.
Standing in front of Link, the young players all have huge psychological pressure.
I have only heard of Link’s legend before. Now after fighting with Link personally, Zion feels that Link seems to be more terrifying than the rumored ones.
No wonder Hachimura was sealed off some time ago, and Zion felt a little sympathetic to the Japanese rookie who was in the same class as him.
Zion made up his mind and must not challenge Link today if his mind is hot.
Next, the Grizzlies' offense was replaced, and the Pelicans' defense has always been very good. The defensive ability in five positions is very excellent.
However, today Ingram's point is actually the weak link of the Pelicans on the defensive end.
As we all know, Ingram has always been very advantageous on the defensive end with his slender figure.
But Link is not afraid of a slender defender.
Neither Antetokounmpo nor Durant, they could stop Link from scoring.
What's more, Link is now getting a stability bonus, and it is difficult for any team in the league to defend against Link, let alone individuals.
Ingram bravely opened his arms, but his eyes, which were as sleepy as McGrady, revealed inexplicable resilience.
Meanwhile, Zion Williamson is ready to assist in defense at any time behind Ingram.
Zion is not tall, but his outstanding explosiveness and positive defensive attitude have given him all the conditions to become an excellent shot blocker.
Last season at NCAA, the scene where he jumped from the middle distance to block the opponent's shot from the three-point line was talked about.
That ball perfectly showed Zion's terrifying physical fitness.
However, Link played the same block in the NBA a few years ago. So the sensation caused by Zion's goal was not particularly great.
Seeing that Ingram was defending him, Link directly chose to force the pass.
Ingram's ability to confrontation is indeed one of his weaknesses, and this weakness is not obvious on the offensive end. However, on the defensive end, insufficient ability to confrontation is quite fatal.
Ingram was pushed all the way to the basket by Link. Although he raised his arms high, this obviously did not solve the problem.
At this moment, Zion Williamson rushed into the penalty area like a hunting lion.
Seeing Williamson's momentum, Hubby Brown from the commentary station widened his eyes.
Williamson seemed like a bomb that was about to be detonated. His ready-to-run appearance would really make people shudder, as if he was so powerful that he would shatter the wooden floor.
Link jumped up against Ingram, and Zion Williamson jumped as well.
For a moment, Zion tied his legs with explosives, and a huge beast flew into the air.
Everyone covered their heads, and according to Zion's jumping height, he could really make a layup from Link!
What's more, there was an Ingram with a very long arms hanging beside Link.
This ball is difficult!
After a normal person jumped up, he was shocked to see a beast like Zion attacking him.
But Link was extremely calm. Will the old fry who had worked hard in the league for ten years be fooled by a rookie?
joke!
Link kept holding up the basketball in the air, but didn't take any action.
When his body began to fall, Link was still holding the basketball.
But at this time, Ingram and Zion Williamson's bodies fell faster than Link!
Link's strategy is not technical, it's simple to summarize - jump up and wait until you start falling and I'll take action.
Having strong ability to stagnate the air means that you can do it.
Sure enough, Link threw the ball towards the basket before he was about to hit the ground.
Generally speaking, you take action when your body rises or reaches its highest point.
It is quite difficult to exert force when the body is falling, and it is extremely difficult to score a goal.
But this difficulty is not a big problem for top athletes in the league.
Super scorers such as Kobe and Jordan have all experienced scoring goals when their bodies fall.
Link threw the basketball to the basket, and Williamson and Ingram who had already landed on the floor could only watch as the basketball rubbed the rebound and refracted into the net.
"This..." Ingram was stunned again, the ball was too unreasonable!
An Ingram with a very long arms, a fierce and cruel Williamson.
Almost no player can successfully make a layup under the blocking of these two people.
However, what Link did specifically was these incredible things. He successfully scored, and from the beginning, he played extremely strongly with his offense and defense.
The record of 26 consecutive wins is right in front of you. Just like when playing against the 76ers, Link is too lazy to delay the game to the end.
The game where you can clock in and get off work in three quarters will never be delayed until the fourth quarter.
Williamson couldn't believe his eyes. Link had just stopped in the air for so long.
Moreover, you can score goals calmly when your body falls.
This is a fucking fuck!
Now, Zion had a question in his mind.
How did James, Durant and Leonard survive?
After so many years of facing a pervert like Link, they still have the courage to continue challenging!
Be convinced!
But after the shock, Zion Williamson quickly calmed down.
If the number one player in the league is so easy to be defeated, he is not the number one player.
Link is right, but it’s not time to give up.
Basketball is not a game that bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Ingram also glanced at Zion at this time. The two of them confirmed their eyes and decided to make trouble!
In the subsequent attack, Ingram held the ball again and continued to cover Zion.
But this time, Ingram made a pass after covering the ground and handed the ball to the "Fat Tiger" who cut into the basket.
Williamson was very fast, anyway, faster than Jay Michael Green had imagined.
Green couldn't figure out how much strength it would take to drive a 129 kilogram body to run so fast?
Thinking of Zion's direct attack on the star in the NCAA field, it is not difficult to estimate his power.
Zion turned into reality by stepping on sneakers, such as exaggerated plots that almost only appear in comics. So if you think about it, how terrifying his explosive power is.
Jamie Green's first step was just thrown away half of his body and had not completely lost his position.
But when he was about to stick to Zion, Zion took the initiative to give Green a confrontation.
Although Green's ability to confrontation is not as good as his "ex-in-law" Harrell, he is also above the average level.
Logically speaking, it is more than enough to deal with a rookie who has just risen from NCAA.
But the moment he was hit by Zion, Green felt that he had been knocked away, and he could not compete with Zion at all!
Zion Williamson's ability to confront is already the top NBA.
At this time last year, when Zion was still playing in college, Celtics legend Paul Pierce once said: "Zion's current physical fitness is better than 98% of NBA players."
It seems that Pierce did not lie.
It is obvious how easy this guy played in NCAA and high school.
After carrying Green, Zion almost jumped to the position flush with his head and the basket, and then smashed his hands with both hands!
Zion, who is only about 2 meters tall, has deducted the effect of "Big Shark" O'Neal.
The reporters under the basketball stand couldn't help but tilt their bodies, fearing that Zion would knock the rebound and hit him.
With a weight of 129 kilograms and its terrible strength, even the reinforced basketball stand is a bit overwhelmed.
A burst of exclamation came from the Federal Express Arena, and Zion was simply amazed!
You know, Link has performed miracles in this stadium again and again. Therefore, Grizzlies fans are no longer surprised by most exciting goals.
No matter how exciting it is, can you be more exciting than Link?
But Zion Williamson's dunk just now broke the situation. Link really couldn't deduct such power.
"A beautiful response, Zion Williamson is indeed an unreasonable killer. I don't know what would have happened if Link was fighting him."
Hubby Brown admitted that even he wanted to see such a showdown. Because Zion is likely to be the first rookie who can really make Link suffer.
Zion landed and waved his fist secretly. His confidence rose sharply, and he knew that he was not the lamb to be slaughtered.
Jamie Green rubbed his chest and looked at Link with no desire.
It's really hard, boss, save me!
"Hold on, I'll help you defend when I get Ingram." Link patted Green on the shoulder and ran towards the frontcourt.
Don't worry, it will be the top scorer sooner or later.
Chapter completed!
