Two Hundred and Fifty-Seven: Do You Have to Say That?

Los Angeles, this is actually the starting point of the Link All-Star Game. After all, it was at the Los Angeles All-Star Game that Link won the rookie MVP last season.

But at that time, Griffin, who was running for the Slam Dunk Contest and Rookie of the Year, didn't care about a mere rookie MVP. He didn't even play the whole rookie game.

At that time, Griffin was like an adult among a group of children. Silently watching you play, watching you compete for that prize that he doesn't like at all.

However, a year later, Griffin was killed unexpectedly. The guy who was not regarded as an opponent by him at the beginning stole his cake with his own hands.

At the 2011 All-Star Weekend, if Anthony was not still in the West, Griffin would have been able to rush directly to the starting lineup. This year, Guagua finally traveled to the east, and the young striker who can play in the West seems to be left with Durant. Griffin believed from the beginning that he would definitely be a starter for the Western Conference Stars!

However, here comes this one. Moreover, the difference in the number of votes between him and Link is actually a full 200,000! This was far beyond his expectations.

Although Griffin has never complained in front of the media, it does not mean that he can accept the result in his heart. For the All-Star starter was taken away, Griffin is not convinced. But things have happened, and unless Link is injured and unable to play in the All-Star Game, nothing will change for Griffin.

But cursing opponents getting hurt seems a little too vicious. Therefore, the only thing Griffin can do is try to prove himself in the regular season - I am not weaker than the All-Star starter, and I also qualify as an All-Star starter!

Griffin had been looking forward to January 26 when the results of the vote came out. He can't change anything, but he can still make a name for himself!

Griffin secretly prepares for the game, preparing to kill Link. And the Los Angeles media are boycotting Link on the surface.

"I don't know why, Blake just didn't play well in a few games. As a result, he lost the draft. But fortunately, Blake has recovered recently and Chris Paul is back from injury. I believe , the Clippers and Blake will show Link what a real All-Star is!"

"Looking aside the fact that Link was selected as an All-Star, the Clippers have had a very bad record recently. The team has lost 4 of 5 games! So, the next game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Clippers will not matter. No matter what, this downward trend has to be stopped. I hope that the fact that Griffin is not selected as an All-Star starter can be a motivation for the Clippers players."

"Griffin is ready to fight,

And the Grizzlies are still busy running around. This game, the Clippers have 100% certainty to win! "

Before the game started, the smell of gunpowder was already strong. If only the media fanned the flames, the players on both sides might not have been so hostile to each other. But at this juncture, DeAndre Jordan, who was interviewed in the training hall the day before the game, pushed the atmosphere of the game further to the dynamite barrel.

"Link is only so good because of his teammates' data, because his teammates turned a lot of balls that weren't opportunities into assists." Facing the camera, Jordan looked calm, as if he said this without thinking at all.

Fifteen minutes later, the words reached Link's ears. Link shook his head. DeAndre Jordan deserves to be the one who put the Mavericks pigeons in the future. You have no idea how his mental process has changed.

Co-authoring the matter between himself and Griffin, does Jordan have to intervene?

Little Jordan's character is not well understood. It is said that he often buys some luxury goods, and then returns them all regretfully within a month. So far in his career, he has also changed two managers.

To put it bluntly, this guy always likes to make decisions on the fly. So do things, and so do speaking.

"Do you have to say that? Then when Chris Paul was away, he only averaged 4 points per game." Link would not be polite to Jordan. Grizzlies players have never been the masters of morality. .

Randolph then also supported Link, "I don't think he is too hard. It's not DeAndre's turn to intervene in this matter. Really, his ability is not strong enough to solve this problem."

The bearded young Gasol watched Randolph and Link having fun over there, and wanted to cry without tears. You are cheating on me! It's not you for making little Jordan so angry, fighting him hand-to-hand tomorrow!

After answering the reporters' questions, Link and Randolph both walked up to Gasol Jr. and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on tomorrow, man!"

On purpose, those two bastards must have done it on purpose!

In this way, fans are beginning to look forward to the game 24 hours later. Although on the surface, the Grizzlies are in high spirits. But Hollins is well aware that the Grizzlies are not in a good physical condition.

In the last loss to the Blazers, the team suffered from a low hit rate due to physical problems, which unfortunately interrupted the longest 7-game winning streak of the season. From Portland to Los Angeles, the players again barely got a break.

Especially the inside players, the tonnage of Gasol and Randolph, are destined to consume more than others. And from the current situation, the place where the battle will be the most intense tomorrow is precisely the inside line!

Hollings stayed up all night, searching for the perfect way to rotate. The Los Angeles Clippers are not an opponent that can be won with just a few words...

※※※

At eight o'clock in the evening on January 26, this high-profile game finally started. Because of Link and Griffin, this game has long been listed as tonight's national live broadcast!

The TV station sent their trump card commentary team - Barkley, O'Neal just retired and Kenny. Smith.

"It's been a long time since I watched the Grizzlies and I'm really looking forward to their performance. The Grizzlies have won 7 of the last 8 games! The Grizzlies have been unstoppable since Zach Randolph came back. And the Clippers On the contrary, in Paul's absence, they only won one game." As soon as he came up, Barkley introduced the situation of the two teams.

"It doesn't matter, no matter how miserable they are, they are not as miserable as you when kissing a donkey." Kenny Smith answered immediately.

"Well, I agree, it's scary who would ask for a donkey's butt." O'Neal quickly helped.

Barkley: "..."

Every time Kenny Smith meets Barkley, he always mentions his kiss on the ass. Despite being ridiculed for so many years, Barkley would still be blocked for words.

"Well... in today's game, the Clippers will definitely go all out, after all, if they lose again, the ranking will drop very low. Do you think, who can win Blake and Link today? Better stats?" Barkley ignored them and continued to discuss the game.

"It's hard to say. Link's performance this season has been very stable, while Griffin has fluctuated. But after Paul returned in the last game, Griffin was obviously 'resurrected'. 26 points and 9 rebounds, this It's Griffin who has the best stats in the past half a month. As long as Paul is there, his stats won't be too bad." Kenny Smith became serious after making a joke, but O'Neal was obviously still there. in entertainment mode.

"If I had to choose, I would have performed better with Link. Because the last person who looked at players with yellow skin was bad luck."

"I'm not playing, goodbye!" Barkley dropped the headphones on his head.

His commentary style is funny and funny, but on the court, the atmosphere is obviously not so cheerful.

Both sides were non-smiling today, and they were very serious when they warmed up. Griffin deliberately practiced low-post singles with the ball. It seemed that he was going to fight Link to the end today.

Link did not pay attention to Griffin, but looked at his matchup today, former All-Star forward Caron Butler.

Caron Butler was reimbursed last season and only played 29 games, which is basically equivalent to lying down to a championship. The numbers plummeted after the move to the Clippers this year.

But this guy is still a ruthless guy. Before the age of 15, this guy was a gangster, which created his strong character. In the NBA, people are nicknamed "spirit juice". According to Cuban's recollection, when Butler injured his knee last season, he broke his knee back without being supported, and walked back to the locker room...

Butler is very aggressive, and Link should be careful not to foolishly do dangerous moves in his confrontation to avoid injury.

After half an hour, the game officially started. During the jump-ball phase, the Clippers looked like they were going to eat the Grizzlies. Griffin stared at Link fiercely, Jordan's eyes burned, and Paul was also fierce.

The referee blew the whistle, and Jordan bounced quickly and slapped the basketball into Paul's hands.

The Clippers' offense is fast, and it can be seen that they want to make a surprise attack!

Griffin quickly rushed inside and asked for the ball with his back. Paul sent the ball out immediately, and Griffin suddenly turned around after getting the ball!

But just as Griffin turned around, he stretched out his dark elbow and gave Randolph a hard blow! Randolph covered his face in pain, but the referee did not stop the game! So, Griffin easily smashed the buckle with both hands, ushered in a good start for the Clippers!

"Malicious foul! Malicious foul!" This time, even the always gentle little Gasol couldn't stand it anymore, and the referee who rushed to the bottom line shouted. But the referee ignored it, he thought it was just an accidental encounter.

Link hurriedly went up to check Randolph's situation. Fortunately, there was no serious problem, but he suffered a loss.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill him!" Randolph gritted his teeth, a former villain who had never suffered such humiliation.

But to be honest, it was too much to play so dirty from the first round.

Paul, who has always been known for his rudeness, Griffin and Jordan, and Butler who is not easy to mess with, the Clippers are all ruthless!

It seems that the Clippers did not play this as an ordinary game today.

It's not a stadium for them, it's a battlefield!
