One Thousand and Forty: I Have No Problem with No. 6 in History (3/5)

Link hit two quick three-pointers, which stunned the Clippers.

Rivers stood on the sidelines, looking at Link who barely stopped running, and frowned.

This guy started to exert his strength so early. How do you plan to play in the second half?

Or is he just that confident in his physical abilities?

Rivers knows that Link's physical ability is outstanding, but no matter how outstanding he is, there is an upper limit. As long as Link is still human, he can't continue fighting like this until the end without blushing and heart beating.

But don’t think that being ranked sixth in history by a writer is really a big deal!

Rivers didn't make any adjustments. The more radical Link became, the more it suited him.

Link will drag himself to death sooner or later!

Paul was also caught off guard by Link's sudden effort, but he would not give up after the opponent scored two goals.

The Clippers continued to execute their tactics, using running and passing to get opportunities.

This time, after Paul attracted Gasol with a breakthrough ball, he created a gap for Jordan to dunk directly.

Jordan is already familiar with this offensive method. After receiving the basketball, he immediately jumped up and prepared to dunk with both hands.

But Gasol turned around immediately and bravely reached out to block Jordan's dunk!

The force of Jordan's dunk is very terrifying. Even if ordinary people have the opportunity to block shots, they may not dare to do it.

But Gasol doesn't have stage fright. As long as he can protect the basket, he will do whatever it takes!

In a flash of lightning, Jordan hung on the basket, but the basketball was bounced away.

Gasol's block allowed Jordan to dunk the basketball to the basket. The Clippers' fierce attack failed to suppress the Grizzlies. The cake that Jordan put in his mouth was suddenly snatched away by Gasol.

"Beautiful shot blocking, Marc Gasol's defensive ability is definitely underestimated by most people! In fact, if Gasol hadn't been retired early last season, God knows if the Warriors could have passed the Grizzlies!"

Hubie Brown waved his fist, as if he saw the shadow of the Grizzlies in their heyday!

The basketball bounced outside the three-second zone again, and this kind of ball would basically end up in Link's hands.

Because while he is more capable than everyone else, he is also more active than everyone else!

Mbah a Moute even grabbed Link's jersey during this fight, but Link still jumped into the air to keep the ball.

Link doesn't seem to care about consumption at all, he just wants to be in the moment!

After catching the basketball, Link immediately led the counterattack with a long pass. The Grizzlies played at a very fast pace, and even Gasol was running along!

In the past, heavy centers like Gasol had to be dragged behind in transition attacks.

But in today's fast-paced era, even big men don't have special privileges.

The fifth position also has to follow the fast break and shoot three-pointers.

This season everyone can clearly see the changes in Gasol. He may be the most successfully transformed traditional center in the league.

After Conley received the basketball, he went straight to the basket. Jordan habitually shrank back to protect the basket.

Conley, who had quick eyes and quick hands, moved the ball outside the three-point line and into Gasol's hands.

If you ask Jordan, a frame-protecting insider like Jordan, to defend on the outside, he will be very awkward.

Therefore, Jordan's blocking of outside shots is far less decisive than when defending inside.

Taking this opportunity, Gasol made a three-point jumper!

This is not the first time Gasol has taken a three-pointer this season. Everyone knows that Gasol is really accurate from beyond the three-point line.

His three-point shooting percentage this season is 38.8%, which is as good as any outside player!

Gasol's soft touch made the basketball fall into the net accurately and hit a three-pointer!

After blocking the shot just now, Gasol made another three-pointer. There was a five-point gap between inside and outside!

"Linke led another counterattack, which was due to his active fighting. Of course, looking forward, Gasol's defense of DeAndre Jordan was also the key to his ability to score. How can I say it? Lin Gram's positivity has spread to the entire Grizzlies team!"

Unconsciously, the Grizzlies had already scored three three-pointers after the opening game!

Paul had just opened the game with a pull-up three-pointer, but he didn't expect that the Grizzlies would triple the return!

Not long into the game, the Clippers fell behind by 6 points.

Rivers found that the Grizzlies had no intention of restraining, and they turned on their maximum horsepower as soon as they came up!

Link gave Gasol a gentle high-five, which was exactly what he wanted.

If it is still difficult for Link to defeat the Clippers in advance by himself, then with the support of his teammates, Link believes that his goal can be achieved 100%.

Three rounds were enough for Link to ignite the fighting spirit of the entire team.

So when Paul faced Conley again, he found that Conley's defensive intensity was different from before!

"Damn, what's going on with these guys!?" Paul panicked a little. Shouldn't the Grizzlies be very tired today?

Why are you playing so energetically now?

After the Grizzlies increased their defensive intensity, the Clippers' ball passing efficiency was much lower than before. Because every time they pass the ball or catch the ball, they will be greatly interfered with.

Under this high-intensity defense, mistakes still occurred.

When Paul was feeding Griffin the ball, Tobias Harris suddenly came around from behind Griffin and destroyed Paul's pass.

In order to keep the ball, Harris broke the pass and fell to the ground to save the ball!

In the first quarter of the game, it felt like the fourth quarter was beaten by the Grizzlies.

Harris successfully scooped the out-of-control basketball into his arms, then threw the ball on the ground and passed it directly to Wade.

Wade, the oldest player on the court, didn't slack off either. He immediately counterattacked with the ball, and the Grizzlies took the pace very fast!

Wade ran into the three-point line with the ball, and then threw the ball directly into the air!

On the other side, Link "takes off" directly and catches the basketball at the highest point.

What about Mbah a Moute? Such a height is beyond Bamot's reach!

Mbah a Moute's defense is indeed active enough, but being active alone is useless. He also needs the ability to keep up.

Link's head was almost level with the basket. After grabbing the basketball, he pressed his arm down hard and smashed the ball into the frame.

You can say that this kind of alley-oop goal has no technical content at all, but in fact, there are not many people in this league who can complete the alley-oop dunk so easily.

The Clippers are 8 points behind!

"This is really a wonderful offensive. The Grizzlies seem to want to take the lead. The Clippers want to drag the game to the end, but Link decided to end the Clippers early!" Hubie Brown finally understood Link's strategy.

From the current point of view, it seems that there is no problem for Link to do it!

Rivers had to call a timeout. He never expected that he would be the first to call a timeout because he was lagging behind.

"We must withstand this wave of attacks. As long as we withstand this wave of attacks, the Grizzlies will be finished! After this wave of attacks, they will become exhausted! So, no matter what, we must withstand it!"

Rivers shouted at the top of his voice, calling on his players to persevere.

At first, he was still thinking about how the Grizzlies would play the second half like this, but now he is arrogant, and Link doesn't want to play the second half at all!

He wants to finish off the Clippers before he's exhausted!

However, the attack led by Link was not so easy to withstand.

After the game restarted, the situation did not improve at all.

Griffin's low post attack was severely blocked by Harris, and eventually his back-turn layup came out of the frame under the strong interference.

Jordan just jumped up to make up for the dunk, but found that Link had taken the basketball down first.

Rivers swallowed on the court. This was the first time Link had successfully protected the rebound today! ?

Before Little Jordan had time to feel sorry, he had to continue running back.

Because after Link grabbed the rebound, he immediately fought back...

This time, Paul chased Link personally. At the moment when Link was traveling at high speed and took off for a layup, Paul directly grabbed Link's shoulders with both hands, preparing to stop Link by force!

He knows that this will cost him a foul, but as long as he can stop the Grizzlies' continuous scoring momentum, he will use any method!

Link's rising body suddenly stopped. However, even when his body could not rise, Link still did not stop his movements and threw the ball towards the basket!

Paul and Link both flew out of the baseline, and Paul was knocked to the ground by Link's terrible impact. And what about Link who was violated? But he landed firmly and scored successfully!

At the same time, the referee blew the whistle and Link got a 2+1 chance!

"This is a very bad foul. Chris Paul was about to pull Link out of the air. His whole body was hanging on Link! But... Link was not affected at all!"

Link smiled at Paul on the ground, then raised his hands and flexed his muscles.

"Fuck!" Paul slammed the floor. He couldn't even stop Link with a flagrant foul. This was a shame for Paul!

At that moment, Rivers also covered his forehead and fell to the bench.

Yes, the order he gave the players was to withstand this wave of attacks.

But then again, who can stand up to a guy like Link...

After that, the Clippers were beaten by the Grizzlies throughout the first half, and Link's impact made the Clippers powerless.

Mbah a Moute's ending was not much better than that of his "predecessors" Butler and Barnes. In front of Link, he seemed to disappear and was completely ineffective.

Attacking the basket, pull-up shots, feints... Link scored in various ways on the court, causing the point difference between the two sides to grow at an incredible speed.

At halftime, Link walked off the court breathless.

He was really tired, he used up almost all his energy in this half of the game.

So in a halftime interview with reporters, Link also said very honestly, "Back-to-back battles are indeed not easy. Next, we have to beware of the Clippers' counterattack. Well...if they can still fight back. The opportunity is right in front of them, let's see if they can seize it. Anyway, in the second half, I definitely won't be able to run."

After Link finished speaking, he walked directly into the player tunnel.

This is a desperate moment, but it is not the exhausted Grizzlies who are desperate, but the Clippers!

At this time, the score between the two sides was 72 to 43. Leading by 29 points at halftime, under the leadership of Link, the Grizzlies almost destroyed the Clippers in just halftime!

Next, what's the use of the Clippers' physical advantage? Being nearly 30 points behind the Grizzlies is basically a death sentence!

It's not like you can catch up just because you are in better physical condition.

"Okay, thank you for Link's answer. All I can say is that I have no problem with Link being ranked sixth in history."

The ESPN reporter sighed. The garbage time in the second half may be very difficult. He has to buy a few more bags of popcorn.
