Barnes was confused by Link's words just now. He didn't know what tricks the kid was playing, but he knew he could no longer give him the opportunity to dunk easily.

The Lakers' offense, the core of the offensive team in this second team is undoubtedly Odom. As a strong contender for the best sixth man this year, Odom's average of 14.4 points per game is beyond the reach of others on the Lakers' bench.

Odom played in the fifth position, and his opponent was second-guess Tabit, who was 2.21 meters tall.

If basketball is a game that only looks at height, then Odom will definitely lose. But unfortunately, after so long development, a group of basketball players have proved that the strength on the basketball court has nothing to do with height.

Tabit was known as "Mutombo II" in the draft, but this guy has no similarities with Mutombo except that he is also from Africa.

Odom held the ball at mid-range and passed the 2.21-meter-21-meter-long "Big Black Mountain" in just a few steps.

"It's too slow, Tabit is really too slow. This may be the most failed draft in the history of the Grizzlies. There are excellent players like Harden, Curry, DeRozan and others behind Tabit, but they chose Tabit. As of now, Tabit has not made any progress compared to last season. It seems that his most proud defense is nothing."

Amid the sigh of the local commentator in Los Angeles, Odom easily broke through Tabit and made a layup.

Phil Jackson actually rarely lets Odom play center. Generally, he will keep one of Gasol and Bynum to play the fifth position, and then use Odom to play power forward. But today, it is precisely because of Tabit that the "Zen Master" dared to rest his championship double towers.

After all, Tabit is really no threat in the inside, and he has his top physical talent.

The score was equalized again, and Odom smiled and accepted the cheers of all the home fans. Link secretly felt sorry for his secretly, and the sneak attack he had just made was wasted.

When he attacked again this time, Barnes looked at Link's expression differently. He was actually teased by a loser, which made Barnes very angry.

"This time your trick won't work, boy!" Before Link could catch the ball, Barnes took the initiative to lean on. His defense was extremely fierce and his physical contact was very frequent.

But Link was not very uncomfortable. Every time he practiced defense with Tony Allen over the past few days, he would be treated the same way and suffered fierce confrontation from defensive players. Link had long been used to it.

Link was still looking for an opportunity to attack when he was blocked. He called Darrell Arthur to help him with a no-ball cover. If he doesn't attack in this lineup, there will be no scorer.

Relying on o.j. Mayo? That guy is reliable and has long become a superstar. After all, he was the Wizards who were rated as the upper limit of Jordan and Kobe at the bottom of the lower limit of Kobe.

Arthur's cover and completely blocked Barnes, the guy has now become a mad dog. However, in a fleeting gap, Link still received the basketball.

Link immediately rushed in with the ball, the Lakers lineup contracted, and Barnes was also constantly putting pressure on Link.

The corners of "Zen Master" Jackson's mouth curled up slightly. This time, the defense of the Lakers was very beautiful. If the number 0 attacked, it would only be blocked or a blacksmithed.

However, Link suddenly turned around with his left leg as the axis. Because Barnes chased him too hard, he was thrown away by Link because of his inertia.

After getting rid of Barnes, Link, who was standing in the free throw line, made a light throw. He took a very casual move at one time, even a bit funny. He was like a layman who could not play basketball, throwing the ball into the air at will.

Getting used to Kobe's picturesque pose, Link's throwing was so ugly. But Los Angeles media and fans couldn't laugh, because Link's ugly throwing shot was softly hollowed into the net.

In the penalty area, this seemingly random throwing is sometimes more accurate than shooting. As an offensive panacea, throwing is a weapon that belongs to the defender, Grant Hill can also take advantage of it. In this case, Link cannot waste Hill's ability.

"A small throw in the penalty area, Link threw away Matt Barnes, and his singles ability was stronger than we thought. Indeed, he is a team player. But if he had a one-on-one single, except for his athletic ability, he was full of advantages."

The local commentators in Los Angeles are relatively neutral in their commentary. After all, they are big cities and there are many people paying attention to them. If you say the wrong thing, it is easy to make a mistake.

When the basketball went to another game, the smile on Phil Jackson's face disappeared. He thought it would be more than enough to use Barnes to defend a undraft, but now Barnes has been scored two goals in a row by the opponent.

Barnes couldn't hold his face, but he used too much force just now because he was too angry. He wanted to scare the boy with his fierce defense, but unexpectedly he was caught.

The Grizzlies took the lead again, Link scored two goals in a row, and both goals were determined, which undoubtedly took on the responsibility of being an offensive core.

In basketball games, you are selfless when you should be selfless, but you are selfish when you should be selfish. Now the Grizzlies' lineup doesn't have an offensive point. If Link chooses to pass the ball, why would Hollins use him for?

So far, Hollins is very satisfied with Link's performance. But what is troublesome is that if Tabitt keeps losing points, Link's efforts will be meaningless.

This time, the Lakers' ball hit Odom, who played the same role as Link, with the scoring point of the second team.

Odom is very confident. He plays whatever he wants with a silly man like Tabit. But this time, when Odom broke through Tabit with the ball, he just took the first step, and Odom felt that the basketball was out of control!

Looking down, Link came over and stretched out his arm from the side and broke the ball!

The first step in dribbling with the opponent's ball to assist in defense is the easiest to succeed, and ordinary rookies may not necessarily have this kind of experience. As a striker, Hill averaged 2 steals per game in the playoffs at his peak, which is very difficult. Even in his twilight years, Hill's steals were awesome. Therefore, Link inherited Hill's steals consciousness.

Link is not as mobile as Peak Hill now, but his longer wingspan makes up for this disadvantage. What's more, Odom's center of gravity is really high, so it's not too difficult to steal him.

"Lamar made a mistake, he took it too lightly. Tabitt might let him bully, but Link didn't agree. The No. 0 striker made a quick ball, O.j. Mayo made a layup in a fast break. A beautiful counterattack, the Grizzlies led the defending champion by 4 points. Haha, this game is much more interesting than people imagined!"

The moment Mayo made a layup, on the Grizzlies' bench, Tony Allen and Randolph waved the towel in their hands. But they were not celebrating Mayo, but celebrating Link's beautiful steal.

"Damn Lamar, he thought he could do whatever he wanted on the offensive end! If you do well, Link, you should give them some excellence!"

Randolph yelled and clapped his hands. Link continued to defend conscientiously, and the first quarter was almost over. After holding on for a while, he could ensure that the team entered the second quarter with the lead. In this way, the Grizzlies' advantage will be further consolidated as soon as they stepped up.

Defeat the defending champion? To be honest, when he first came, Link didn't think so much, he just wanted to continue playing his own game. But now, this crazy idea appeared in his mind.

Today, there are more than Kobe in the madman at Staples Center.

Steve Blake knew that the appearance of the No. 0 striker made the Grizzlies' second team no longer dead. It was no longer so easy to score successfully.

So this time, Blake did not directly give the ball to Odom, but played a little more complicated. He and Luke Walton picked and rolled, and then found Barnes who had made a gap.

Barnes had already gotten rid of Link and cut to the basket. This guy had long wanted to use a score to suppress the arrogant arrogance of the undrafted pick.

Just when Barnes was about to receive the basketball, the basketball was poked out of the bottom line by Link's finger. The pass was destroyed, and Link's long arm played a role again!

The wingspan of 2.18 meters is not amazing in the NBA, but it is definitely above the average level if it exceeds the height of 15 cm.

Although Link failed to complete the steal directly this time, he once again destroyed the Lakers' offense.

Off the court, Kobe looked at Phil Jackson, and the expression on his face had changed from joking to seriousness, "What am I talking about? He needs to be paid attention to. This guy is simply an all-around striker with both offense and defense!"

Kobe was very interested in Link at first, but that was on the premise that the Lakers could win. Now, when Link threatens the Lakers' victory, Kobe just wants to destroy him with his own hands.

"Can you imagine this guy fighting back to back? He was full of energy. He destroyed the Lakers' offense twice in a row, and Phil must be unhappy."

On the commentary stage, local fans in Los Angeles also praised Link. Listening to his commentator praise a undraft, Los Angeles fans must feel very uncomfortable.

Link has long arms and good physical strength, which is why he was able to survive in NCAA. If he had no use, he would not have been able to spend four years in NCAA.

Now, Link has just played his advantages based on his ability to Hill. Back-to-back in the second round of the season is not worth mentioning for Link.

Barnes picked up the basketball and prepared to serve the bottom line. He gritted his teeth. He was obviously his best scoring opportunity just now, but he was actually destroyed by this damn guy.

So, Barnes planned to use some special methods to make Link embarrassed. The villain picked up the basketball and suddenly smashed Link's eyes.

Of course, Barnes didn't really hit Link's face, he just pretended to hit it, trying to scare Link.

When a normal person is suddenly frightened like this, he will subconsciously dodge or close his eyes. But what about Link? He didn't even blink!

Barnes once again experienced this embarrassment of being neglected when he wanted to make a prank. The last time Barnes used this trick to scare, he was still facing Kobe! Barnes didn't believe that a rookie could have the psychological quality of Kobe!

"Hahahahaha, Matt's prank failed again. Look at Link's expression of wandering around in the garden, I've said he is not an ordinary person!" The commentators also noticed Barnes' embarrassment and laughed.

Link was a little confused. It was not that he was not afraid of being scared, but because he happened to be watching the cards related to him by the Lakers fans behind Barnes, so he didn't even look at Barnes at all.

When Barnes took the ball to scare people, Link was still thinking, "What's wrong with this guy?" He didn't expect Barnes to scare himself.

If he stared at the basketball, he might be shocked. But, Link didn't happen to look at him. Invisibly, Link pretended to be a good man.

It's not Link's fault, God wants Barnes to be embarrassed. It feels like you telling a lot of things in front of someone, and finally finding that they don't listen to you at all.

The embarrassing Barnes finally passed the baseline ball to Walton. The star then took the ball to layup, but was interfered by Tabit.

Tabit is indeed not very capable, but his height and wingspan is here, so he still has the effect of protecting the basket. This guy averages 1.3 blocks per game in a rookie season, and he is not useless.

The Lakers' offense failed again, Kobe shook his head, and the Lakers' second team had never "disappointed" him.

Link made a breakthrough in the conversion offense, but actually distributed the ball to the space-type fourth-position Darrell Arthur outside the three-point line.

Arthur made a three-pointer, instantly turning the score difference on the field into 7 points. The defending champion was in crisis, and the media and fans in Los Angeles dared not look down on the undraft anymore.
