Two Hundred and Fifty-Eight: More Ruthless than You

Blake Griffin wasn't a good boy, he never was.

Elbow Randolph, you don't know if this guy is on purpose or not. But Link believed it was a completely unnecessary elbow move. To say it was unintentional, Link really felt that he was deceiving himself.

Basketball is inherently a confrontational sport. Coupled with the particularity of this game, it is normal for players to make small movements.

But of course Link was not happy when these tricks were used on his own. This game has been full of gunpowder since before it started, but Griffin's dark elbow just now completely ignited the explosive barrel.

But Griffin may have forgotten that he could also injure himself by lighting the dynamite keg.

"Play slowly, be patient, be patient!" Mike Conley shouted to organize the offense while holding the ball and advancing. Conley is a person with a good personality, but today even he looks like he wants to die with the Clippers.

Link quickly fell to the right horn, and Caron Butler pressed closely, not giving Link a chance to catch the ball!

One of the odd things about the Clippers' lineup this year is that there are too many guards. Paul, Billups, Randy Foye, Mo Williams, Bledsoe... Usually, the Clippers start with Paul and Billups playing double point guards.

So it stands to reason that it should be Billups who will face Link today.

But the Clippers deliberately let Caron Butler guard the second position and guard him in front of Link. To put it bluntly, the Clippers would rather let Gay have a huge height advantage than let Link take advantage.

Link pushed Caron Butler inside, and then suddenly made a counter-run to go outside the three-point line again.

However, Caron Butler directly reached out and grabbed Link's jersey, preventing him from running!

"Fuck, playing in the playoffs!?" Link scolded in his heart, Caron Butler is indeed a ruthless character. When Arenas raised a gun in the locker room, all the Wizards players and coaches were scared away, but Butler dared to stand up and persuade.

This guy is never afraid of things!

Although he was caught by the jersey, Link managed to run out to get the basketball. Butler immediately straightened his chest and continued to press!

Link gritted his teeth and fought tough battles, back down and you lost! The only thing I can do is to stop him from being more ruthless!

See Caron Butler so tight,

Link took two steps back, opened a little distance, and then suddenly changed direction, successfully breaking through!

In two months, Butler will be 32. And, he just suffered a serious knee injury last season. So, the traverse speed is actually not as good as before.

This guy is tough, but his absolute defensive ability is not as strong as everyone thinks. Seeing Link enter the penalty area, Randolph and Pau Gasol both pulled out. Jordan did not believe in evil, so he gave up Gasol and blocked Link.

"Pass the ball, bastard!" Jordan shouted, but in the next second, Link flew directly at him!

"Link is going to attack the frame directly!?" Charles Barkley stood up, his eyes full of dark circles staring round.

"Court death!" Instead, Jordan wanted Link to attack the frame. This guy's real value is on the defensive end. This season, Jordan has averaged 2.0 blocks per game, but ranks at the forefront of the league.

Little Jordan slammed his legs, and his strong body leaped high. Link is not known for his athleticism, and Jordan believes that Link is completely impersonating himself.

However, just when Jordan's palm was about to swipe the basketball, Link avoided the cover with a lever. During the collision with Jordan, he kept his shot the same, stably sent the ball to the backboard, and finally rubbed the ball. Board into the network!

"Beep beep!" The referee whistle sounded, the Clippers No. 9 defensive foul!

Against layups, this is Link's strength! Last season, he paid a lot of sweat for it.

Link was hit and his center of gravity was unstable, he fell off the bottom line, and his body slid on the floor until he hit the basketball hoop! But instead of waiting for someone to help him, he did a few push-ups and climbed up easily.

"I don't think you're hard enough, dude." Link pointed at Jordan and spat out trash talk, now that big guy knows that he's not the only ruthless guy to try!

"For the chance to hit a three-pointer, Link's layup was very determined! It can be seen that he is very tough on the offensive end and has no fear! The two sides have a strong smell of gunpowder, and this game was particularly good from the beginning." Barkley Yue said The more excited he was, he was one of Link's fans, and he was even more excited now.

Link high fives with his teammates before stepping into the free throw line. It was fake that it didn't hurt just now, but it only hurt for a while. Since the Clippers want to be tough, come on!

After Jordan was fouled twice in the first quarter, Link wanted to see how tough he was.

Although the fans in the Staples Center made huge boos, Link turned a deaf ear to it, made a steady free throw and made a three-pointer!

"Defend one, they are already scared!" Randolph shouted for everyone to retreat as soon as Link made the free throw.

Link smiled, it seems that everyone is serious!

The Clippers' offense is definitely not bad, after all, Billups and Paul are both "court coaches." Even if the coach doesn't set anything up, the point guards know what to do this round.

Paul came back from injury for the second game, with a strong desire to perform. In the last game against the Lakers to score 4 points, Paul must be very aggrieved. So today, Paul did not pass the ball after borrowing Jordan's screen, but made a mid-range pull-up jumper!

Because Conley was blocked, he couldn't seal it immediately. As a result, Paul's shot hollowed into the net, and the Clippers continued the score!

"The two sides refused to give in to each other. Just after Link scored a three-pointer, Paul returned a goal. Both sides have the determination to win. Let's see who can last longer."

The game was just like that, and it took five minutes for you to come and go. The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the confrontation was fierce.

The referee may have put the whistle wide for viewing purposes. As long as you don't move too far, you can do whatever you want.

Five minutes later, a frowning Hollins called the game off. At this time, the Grizzlies are only 1 point behind. If this round is allowed to continue, the two sides may alternately lead.

Don't look at the game, it's only been 5 minutes, but the two sides have alternated the lead 3 times.

So Hollins called the timeout not because he was afraid of the one-point disadvantage, but because he thought it was time for a substitution.

Sure enough, after the players were off the court, Hollins found Randolph gasping for breath and soaking through the collar of his jersey.

"Zach, take a break."

Randolph did not respond, which shows that he is really tired!

Hollins is worried about this. The team has just finished back-to-back games, and Randolph's physical fitness has not been top-notch. How to rotate? Hollins has been thinking about it.

Under normal circumstances, Speights should replace Randolph. But Speights really has no advantage on the defensive end, and the offense won't necessarily cause trouble for Griffin.

In this case, Hollins made a bold decision, "Tony, you replace Zach. Rudy, I want you to go to the four against Blake Griffin. Don't worry, I need you to use the offense. Kill him. Let's attack, guys, get your best firepower out there."

After Hollins finished speaking, everyone was stunned. What did he just say? Defensive idiot Hollins, let them attack! ?

"Let's see who lasts to the end." Link stood up first, then stepped back onto the court.

On the grizzly side, Mr. Tony replaced the big black bear. The Clippers also made substitutions. "Mo Buchuan" Mo Williams replaced Billups. Obviously, the Clippers also want to increase their firepower!

Don't underestimate Xiao Mo. In the 22 games since he moved to the Clippers last season, he averaged 15.2 points per game. This season, despite being off the bench, he still averaged 13.2 points per game. The three-point shooting rate is 38.9%, and the overall shooting rate is 42.6%, which is a veritable bench bandit.

This time it was the Grizzlies' offensive possession, and the basketball was deliberately hit into Guy's hands.

Griffin's numbers are great, but he's really not that great defensively this period. The inside line is limited by the ability to predict and the wingspan, and is often pressed to the ground by the star power forward. And the outside defense.... The short arm leads to insufficient defensive area, and the prediction leads to the lateral movement is always half a beat.

Guy got his wish for the singles opportunity, he changed direction with his left and right hands, and then accelerated the breakthrough, easily surpassing Griffin

Guy hits his obsessive mid-range shot, and Griffin reaches out to interfere, then embarrassed again.

so short......

"Brush!" The basketball hollowed into the net, and Hollins' adjustment worked!

The reason he played Guy at the 4 was for moments like this! If you go to Speights, the fat man is afraid that he will fly away.

"Fuck it! It's my fault!" Griffin reluctantly picked up the basketball and slapped it hard.

But he is confident in the next round, without Randolph's meat shield, Griffin believes he can bomb the rim as he pleases.

Paul thought the same way, and he gestured to indicate the point of hitting Griffin in the next round!

This time, the Clippers offensive movement is very smooth, because everyone knows what to do. Caron Butler deliberately went to help Griffin make an off-ball screen, and Griffin used the screen to enter the penalty area. At this time, Paul can assist Griffin to wreak havoc on the basket, whether it is a direct alley or an ordinary pass.

To be on the safe side, Paul batted the ball to Griffin. Griffin took three steps directly and was about to split the dunk with one hand, but Link suddenly came out horizontally!

"A decisive switch, Link crossed in front of Griffin!" Barkley pointed to the court excitedly, O'Neal was really afraid that the guy's shirt button would be stretched out.

Griffin and Link collided. According to the physique of last season, it is estimated that Link will have to fly to get close contact with the photographers again. But this time, Link was stunned to stabilize his center of gravity, even though his chest was suffocating.

But Link didn't have time to cry out in pain, he frowned and shot everything, slapped the basketball off Griffin's hand!

"Fake!" Griffin turned around immediately, but the basketball had already been taken by Link, and the Grizzlies fought back.

What do people rely on? The wingspan is more than 15 cm tall! Griffin was worried again.

The Clippers quickly retreated, and Paul almost fell with him in order to prevent Conley from cutting in. Butler also stuck close to Gay, and in short, the Clippers blocked Link's passing lane.

But in the end, Link didn't pass anyone, and he controlled the ball to the three-point line.

"He wants to attack himself!"

By the time the Clippers players reacted, it was too late. Link took off from the free throw line in two steps and raised the basketball with one hand!

Griffin came out diagonally from the rear, but due to the length of his arm, he failed to complete the block!

Just like that, Link brushed Griffin's body and smashed the basketball into the hoop!

"One-stop dunk after stealing! He dunked on Griffin's head, what!? How is this possible!?" Barkley was completely mad, and Griffin's arms were thicker than Link's legs! However, Link slammed a button on the top of his head.

Worthy of being the starting forward for the Western All-Star team!

After the goal, Link yelled at Griffin, and then said softly, "Be careful."

The entire Staples was silent, and the Clippers players looked at each other in dismay.

The Los Angeles Ruthless Team, this time encountered even more ruthless.
