Link didn't score in the last two minutes of the game, but his performance still scared Staples.

He defended Kobe, which is what Lakers fans fear the most.

He made 1 of 3 shots, but he was not able to get the ball several times, and he was in a mess every time he attacked. These scenes were deeply imprinted in the minds of Lakers fans. Kobe, who has always ended the game at critical moments, was restricted today.

But even so, the Lakers will not give up. They still trust Kobe. No one except Kobe can do the last 23 seconds of offense.

"The Lakers now need a three-pointer to drag the game into overtime. We have witnessed Kobe's countless classic performances at the Staples Center. In the 2009-10 season, Kobe chose to drift and shoot from two steps outside the three-point line and beat the Heat. Now everyone must have a deep memory. In the 2006 playoffs, Kobe wore a white jersey and doubled the Suns. Today, let's see if there will be another classic moment in the Staples Center!"

During the suspension period, Staples fans were already restless. Although Link's previous defense was very cruel, Lakers fans still believed that as long as there was Kobe, a miracle would happen. The fans stood up one after another, but no one left the court. For them, the climax of the game has not yet begun.

On the Grizzlies' bench, Hollins didn't even have time to take out the small bench, so he knelt in front of Link on one knee and wrote and painted.

The camera gave Kobe and Link a split-screen shot. Kobe on the left had murderous aura. He had maintained this expression all night.

Link on the right looked quite calm, and Hollins seemed to be more excited than Link. So people almost forgot that he was just a sophomore player!

"Tony, you go up and guard against the last round too! If Link fails, I hope you make up! Let's relax Link, I know this is Staples, I know Kobe has created countless miracles here. But you have to tell yourself that Kobe's day of creating miracles is not today!"

"Not today!" Link nodded, guarding himself to this point, and not being able to waste all his previous efforts!

The Lakers need to win, and the Grizzlies need to win too. The Grizzlies started so well, with 5 wins and 2 losses, and they can only rank third in the West, which shows how fierce the competition is. In the West, competition will not slow down due to the shrinking season.

The Grizzlies try their best to win every game.

The beeping made all the players immediately nervous. Kobe threw away the towel hanging around his neck and stepped into the court, as if he was preparing to kobe the opponent's boxer.

Link looked at Staples' restless fans, probably they all wanted to witness Kobe's heroic moment. But unfortunately, the Lakers met a villain who would never compromise today.

Not today!

"The game started again, and in the last round, Kobe Bryant carried all the pressure. I really want to say that in theory, the Lakers might not choose Kobe to shoot, but that was not realistic. Everyone knows that Kobe will shoot the last shot!"

Link walked up to Kobe. This was the second time he had experienced such a moment this season. The first time was to play against the Thunder, and the second time was today.

"Where are you going to shoot?" Link began to harass Kobe with words.

"Of course it's outside the three-point line, we're three points behind." Kobe responded calmly. Although he was answering Link, his attention was all on basketball at this time.

"The answer is wrong, I won't let you finish shooting anywhere, Kobe."

Somehow, Blake's pants beside the two were wet again...

"Boom!" As soon as the two of them finished their mouths, the referee whistled and the last round began!

Kobe broke through the siege, ran to the near midfield line, and received a pass from Paul Gasol.

Link pressed up, but Kobe was calmly protecting the ball.

Bynum's cover was in place, with the purpose of forcing Link and Kobe to separate. Otherwise, he would not be able to use his strength to keep a tight state.

Now the Lakers are three-pointers behind, so Kobe has no need to delay time. He must complete the shot as soon as possible. In this way, even if he doesn't make a shot, the Lakers still have the chance to send the opponent to the free throw line by tactical fouls.

For the first pick-and-roll, Link quickly squeezed over, and Kobe had no room to gain.

So Bynum set up a second cover for Kobe near the three-point line. This time, Kobe bypassed the pick-and-roll and then jumped to the outside of the three-point line to set aside. This is the rhythm of shooting!

"Do you want to borrow the screen and shoot directly??" Thompson stood up and prepared to cheer with thousands of fans!

"Not today!" Link squeezed through the pick-and-roll this time, but he was not a loach, and he didn't slide past Bynum every time.

When Kobe was jumping, Link had just gone around and rushed to the back side of him. The best position to defend the opponent's shooting was undoubtedly right in front.

But Link couldn't care so much, he stretched out his hand from the back!

Kobe was about to take the ball, but he found that the basketball was pushed out from the side by a force. Link and Kobe's hands were both on the ball. As soon as the two forces were squeezed, the basketball rushed straight into the air!

Kobe was blocked!

The struggle was not over. Although Kobe was blocked in the shooting, after the basketball began to fall, Kobe and Link immediately started a battle for the ball.

Link held Kobe with one hand and immediately took off twice. Kobe was so pressed that he couldn't jump up. Now he just wanted to curse this damn big-scale call today!

"Link actually blocked Kobe's last shot! The basketball fell, and Link actively grabbed the ball. He quickly advanced. The Lakers retreated frantically, but Link was still not caught up!"

Link reacted completely instinctively, and after blocking, he grabbed the ball and pushed forward. He did not hesitate for half a second in this process.

When Link entered the penalty area, Matt Barnes also arrived. Link jumped and made a layup, but he did not fight hard, but changed hands in the air, avoided the block, and scored a layup!

At that moment, Staples, who was originally lively, was drowned by a sigh. Link blocked Kobe and made a layup with one-stop, and the Lakers were finished!

"It's over! It's over! Link's defense and fast attack killed the game, and the Lakers had no chance! Link defended Kobe 1 of 4 shots at the last moment, including the key shot just now! The legendary Kobe Bryant, the great Los Angeles Lakers, fell to the hands of a 'grassroots' today!"

After Link successfully made a layup, he rushed directly to his teammates. He knew what he had done, and he completely ruined Kobe Bryant!

In the last 10.7 seconds, the Lakers lost 5 points without a timeout, which is almost an irreversible gap!

Link hugged each other tightly with his teammates, and they worked together to win another great victory!

A week ago, Link scored a 40-point triple-double in front of the youngest MVP Ross, completely making a big hit in the United States.

Now a week later, Link blocked one of the greatest guards Kobe's key shots and successfully hit a counterattack to lay the victory.

People suddenly discovered that Link, the "big villain", was no longer satisfied with winning the game, and he began to mess up the good things of these top stars!

The great heroic moments can always be ruthlessly strangled by Link.

But looking at Link, who was celebrating victory with his teammates on the court, seemed to be harmless again.

Thompson smiled. He was really a cute and charming villain.

The Lakers began a tactical foul in the next 10 seconds. But the Grizzlies' free throws did not fall out. When Conley scored his 14th point in two free throws and widened the gap in this game to 7 points, the Los Angeles Lakers also completely declared their failure.

Kobe stood at the Lakers logo on the court with his waist on the court. The reporters quickly surrounded him and asked him what he thought about Link's performance in the last moment.

Kobe looked unhappy, but what he said surprised the reporters.

"How Link didn't become a member of the Western Conference All-Star this year would be the biggest insult to me. I lost and I didn't have much to say."
Chapter completed!
