"What did you say? Link was suppressed!?"

Cleveland, in the Quick Loan Arena.

The two Eastern powers of the Celtics and the Knights are in full swing.

The game was very anxious. On the Celtic side, Isaiah Thomas, who was only 1.75 meters tall, caused great trouble to the Cavaliers.

At this time, LeBron James was resting on the sidelines and preparing to continue fighting.

But the words of Cavaliers assistant coach Larry Drew made James a little out of his mind.

A few days ago, when Antetokounmpo easily killed Paul George and the Pacers, he began to care a little about the Greek.

However, when James thought of Link as the "touchstone", he was not so concerned about Antetokounmpo.

James believes that Antetokounmpo must at least pose a threat to Link, so that he is qualified to threaten himself.

At the beginning, James did not expect this.

No one knows Link better than him. Although the Cavaliers finally changed their opponents in the finals last season, James was the player who played against Link in the finals for three consecutive years.

If you don’t fight with him personally, you will not be able to fully understand Link’s strength.

He believed that when Antetokounmpo came to Link, he would definitely be beaten to his true form.

Unexpectedly, the latest news was that Link was suppressed.

James was surprised, very surprised.

Link is already so strong, and there is still someone who can suppress him!

The player who suppressed him was so terrible.

Unfortunately, the player who can suppress Link is right in the East!

James suddenly became anxious. Link and Durant had not done it yet, and now another "Greek monster" appeared!

"It's true that Jannis is on the court... Forget it, let's focus on our own game. When this game is over, I'll give you a video of the game between the Grizzlies and the Bucks."

Larry Drew waved his hand and did not continue to say it. If it affects James' performance in this game, it would be more than worth the loss.

At the same time, countless people around the world were as shocked as James.

The Grizzlies may lose, but Link won't!

After so many years, no star has been able to suppress Link.

Link is at the worst time and can also tie his own.

The entire league was once again wrapped in panic emotions, but this time it was not Link who created the panic, but Antetokounmpo.

"Good job, Jannis! In the second quarter, I need you to continue to hit the basket. If the Grizzlies shrink, then split the ball to your teammates. Keep going, we will definitely win!"

Jason Kidd patted Antetokounmpo's shoulder with relief. Seeing the Greek growing up step by step, Kidd actually felt very accomplished.

People say that Antetokounmpo is purely talented, but Kidd knows better than everyone how hard this Greek boy works.

This year, all efforts should bear fruit.

After saying that, Kidd began to arrange troops.

After the second quarter started, the Bucks did not continue to switch back to all the starters, but made some adjustments based on their leading position.

First, he used the same height and long arm and a three-point shooting percentage this season to replace Delavidova.

Then, Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Mirza Taylortovic replaced Jabbarri Parker, who also performed well in the first quarter.

Taylor Tovic will not make any breakthroughs at all, lacks the ability to pass and control, has poor rebounding, is neither fast enough nor strong enough, has no advantage in playing the fourth position at 2.06 meters, and is too slow to play the third position.

It seems like a useless player.

But the reason why he can survive in the NBA is because he shot accurate three-pointers!

At this time, the Bucks' on-court lineup became Snell, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Telitovic and John Henson.

Among the five players, four of them have good shooting ability. Although Henson cannot shoot three-pointers, the mid-range distance is still pretty good.

Kidd's intention is very obvious - give Antetokounmpo as much as possible so that he can crush Link in one-on-one!

Point guard?

This lineup does not require a point guard, because Antetokounmpo has to control the ball from the start of serving the baseline!

Not all teams have the chance to beat the Grizzlies. Now that the Bucks have this opportunity, Kidd doesn't want to let it go easily.

In the second quarter, he hopes the team can open the score as soon as possible!

Fans may like to watch anxious games, but the head coach must not like it.

For them, the earlier the game enters garbage time, the better.

When the electronic beeps sounded at the beginning of the second quarter, cheers in Bradley Center burst out again.

After seeing the Bucks' lineup, Link shook his head helplessly.

It's Kidd, this "old monster" didn't plan to give the Grizzlies any time to breathe.

As soon as Taylor Tovic entered the space-type fourth position, the original plan was to protect Harrell behind Link, it was useless.

The original plan was that Harrell could make the unstable shooting Jabari Parker come to help defend "Antetokounmpo". But now, he must stay by Telitovic's side.

Telitovic averaged 12.2 points per game in the Suns last season, and more than half of these 12 points came from outside the three-point line.

Taylor Tovic scored a total of 165 three-pointers last season, which set a record of three-point shooting by substitutes in NBA.

When you keep him, he may be useless.

But if you dare to let go, he will really dare to enter!

If the Bucks use three-pointers to open the gap, Kidd's plan will really succeed.

Now, Kidd is equivalent to giving the Grizzlies a classic multiple-choice question of "two poisons".

Either he was shot to death or suddenly died by Antetokounmpo.

"Link, this..." Harrell was speechless. He was about to do something big, but he didn't expect Kid to make a move temporarily.

"No monster, man. Keep your match, don't even grab the rebound easily. Because if you can't grab it, the opponent will have an open three-pointer opportunity as soon as the pass is out. Antetokounmpo... just leave it to me."

After Link finished speaking, he led the team to the stadium.

Now this game is really a battlefield between two monsters.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bucks took the lead in attacking.

Antetokounmpo had passed the half-time possession of the ball, and he was like a point guard at this time.

A guy who is 2.13 meters tall is actually organizing an offense in possession of the ball...

Carter off the court shook his head, times have really changed.

"Antetokounmpo" did not intend to pass the ball, he was just waiting for his teammates to pull it away for him.

Snell, Middleton and Tyler Tovic pulled out of the three-point line, while John Henson came to set up cover for Antetokounmpo.

This is a desperate tactic. If you don't change defense, Antetokounmpo can easily hit the basket.

If you change defense, Gasol's steps will not be able to keep up with the Greeks at all.

If Link and Gasol all go to block Antetokounmpo, then "Antetokounmpo" can give the ball back to Henson at the middle distance and let him shoot in the middle.

Even if all the tactics fail, Henson can re-hang the ball to Antetokounmpo, leaving him one-on-one with Link at the low post.

It seemed like a dead game, and Jason Kidd was ready to celebrate the goal.

"Antetokounmpo" took advantage of the cover to break through, and then immediately took his own big step!

He didn't encounter Link's blockade, and he thought he had gotten rid of the defense.

But the next second, Antetokounmpo saw Link running to the basket!

Link did not choose to block Antetokounmpo, but directly "squatted" to defend, waiting in the penalty area for the Greeks to come to him!

In this way, Henson's cover lost its meaning. Because Link didn't have to bypass Henson at all, just run to the basket and finish it.

Link did the most extreme of making it difficult to make the priceless!

Although you also make a shot when defending James, you can only let him make three-pointers, and you must not make a shot in the middle distance.

In the first quarter, Link also used this idea to defend Antetokounmpo, but the result did not work.

So now, Link simply gave the Greeks even the middle distance, just betting that you can't make the ball!

Antetokounmpo's lethality at the basket is no less than James, but in Link's opinion, his mid-range shooting is not as good as James in the rookie season!

Sure enough, Antetokounmpo continued to plunge into the basket with a strong head.

Even though Link gave him the entire mid-range, he still did not choose to jump shot.

It seems that Antetokounmpo is very clear about his shooting level. And he believes that even if he and Link face to face, Link may not necessarily win him!

Looking at Antetokounmpo who was getting closer and closer to him, Link took a deep breath.

"Swoosh!"
