Four Hundred and Sixty-Seven: Data Does Not Reflect Well

Paul was originally excited and had confidence in his teammates. But as soon as the game started, his confidence was wiped out.

Because of that attack and defense, it was enough for Paul to see a lot of information.

First, Link, who was in excellent physical condition after two days of rest, was able to perform such a violent dunk that completely stretched his body in the air.

Second, Marc Gasol seems genuinely pissed off. The main reason this guy isn't recognized is because his value on defense isn't as intuitive.

Look at Little Jordan, you can see a beautiful fly. Look at James, you can see tough presses and big caps.

But what about Gasol? What he did the most was not blocking or stealing, but just keeping the opponent from scoring. Even if there are caps, those are those that are relatively gentle on the senses.

But then again, whether it's a block or a steal, isn't the ultimate goal of the defensive end just to keep the opponent from scoring? Steals and blocks are just a way to keep the opponent from scoring.

In this regard, Paul has instead recognized Gasol's ability. This European does not say anything else, the Grizzlies can become the best defensive team in the league without a good rim protector.

His goodness is the kind of goodness that cannot be reflected in the data.

However, it is such a small Gasol who only pursues "let others not score". Today, it seems that he has also begun to pursue the data on the defensive end.

The momentum of Link and Gasol is too unfriendly to the Clippers.

Paul is a little worried underneath, but Jordan is still full of enthusiasm on the court. If he was the one who made the dunk just now, would he be blocked?

Bledsoe's kid is still too frizzy. To challenge Gasol, Jordan thinks he has to do it himself.

In the next attack, Bledsoe was much more honest. Fan Fei, who had just been dribbled with the ball, must have created a lot of psychological shadows for the third grade bloodcloth.

This is the role of the big center, the deterrent of these giants can not be ignored. Back then, even if O'Neal only made one stop in the penalty area, most outsiders would give up the idea of ​​breaking through the basket.

The taste of being stared at by a giant beast is not at all uncomfortable.

The Clippers' offense is still not smooth.

After getting it, Griffin has to organize the attack.

Griffin's period is actually quite embarrassing. He wants to do everything, but he can't do everything well. Griffin also knows that he can't be a dunker all his life, so he hopes to come up with something new every season.

So he practiced mid-range shooting, dribbling and passing, and he was eager to get better. But it will take time, and it will not happen overnight.

After a long time, Griffin still had to give the ball to Jordan. Jordan leaned on Gasol deep in the post and raised his hand for the ball.

Griffin had no choice but to hoist the ball in.

"Come on, DeAndre Jordan singles against Gasol!"

When Link saw Jordan single against Gasol with the ball, he began to slowly move to the front court.

Gaso's defense this season is much better than it looks. He doesn't rebound much because he has to focus on help defense and marking. Randolph grabs fourteen or five rebounds at every turn because tactically, he is the one who collects the rebounds.

As for blocks, Gasol is limited by his athletic ability, and the viewing of blocks may not be high. But in fact, his average of 1.7 blocks per game is not low.

Jordan, who seems to be more capable of blocking shots, averaged only 1.2 blocks per game.

Jordan is a pie-eating center, but now he is forced to play one-on-one with Gasol. So Link believes that this high probability will become a fast break opportunity.

Little Jordan didn't analyze that much. He planned to use his strong body to drive Gasol hard, and then turn around to attack the frame.

But as soon as Jordan dribbled the ball and turned around, the basketball was slapped off by Gasol! In Gasol's view, Jordan's back turn and dribble are full of loopholes!

"The basketball was cut, DeAndre Jordan made a mistake! Gasol picked up the basketball and then made a long pass! Eh!? When did Link run up!?"

Link had already started, and sure enough, as he expected, Jordan didn't have the slightest advantage in the low-post one-on-one.

However, after learning from the previous lesson, this time Caron Butler caught up with Link in time to prevent him from attacking the frame without hindrance.

But it was still not difficult for Link. He gently tossed the ball to the hoop, and Iguodala came from behind, caught the basketball in the air and completed the dunk.

The Grizzlies can buckle, but not only Link.

4-0, and both goals were dunks, the Grizzlies seemed to play this game into an exhibition match.

As for Gasol Jr., he's already had a block and a steal. And Jordan, aside from one turnover, hasn't made any stats yet.

Link and Iguodala gave a light high-five. After turning around, Link spread his hands to face Jordan who ran over to pick up the ball.

I warn you that you must not listen, then, wait to die!

"The Clippers are in trouble, and they don't seem to be able to attack without Paul."

"Or, is Marc Gasol's defense too strong for them?"

The Clippers are still working hard, and they don't want to be pulled away by the Grizzlies as soon as they come up. Before the game, they were so excited one by one, but their emotions would not drop to freezing point so quickly during the game.

This time, Griffin decided to stand up and save the team. Paul is not there, he is the star of this team.

Look at Link, who was at the same time as him, is now the core of the Grizzlies. Griffin, as a repeater, naturally wants to keep up.

So, he personally broke through with the ball, and after a crotch changed direction and broke into the middle distance, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot! Use personal ability to break the deadlock, this is what the star should do.

Seriously, seeing Griffin's short and stocky figure doing this kind of action made Link feel awkward.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the basketball struck the iron, and the Clippers missed their third attack in a row!

Paul covered his forehead, and he couldn't help asking himself, "Where did the confidence come from before the game."

Just as Jordan was about to take off, he found that his body was stuck to death by Gasol. Since then, no matter how high Jordan jumped, it wouldn't help.

Gasol, who was stuck in the position, protected the rebound with a slight jump. So far, Gasol's performance on the defensive end is still flawless.

This time, the Clippers finally had a chance to drag the defense into position. He was counterattacked by the opponent for two consecutive rounds, and he didn't even have a chance to return to the defense.

But this time, Jordan thought, he should have a chance to show his defensive ability!

Jordan was extra serious this time, and he was very positive indeed. Not only is he active with Gasol, but he is also very active in assisting defense.

After Link observed Jordan's defense, he decided to meet the nasty guy in person. Facing Caron Butler, Link suddenly slowed down after passing the screen, making Butler nervously thinking that Link was going to attack the frame.

In the end, it was just a change in Link's rhythm. After slowing down and suddenly getting up, Link played the former ruthless Butler all over the place.

Little Jordan was instantly excited as he watched Link rush towards the basket. If you can block Link, one ball can be just two!

But Jordan was not stupid. As Link approached, he also looked at Gasol's position. If Link is only to break the ball, then he has to rush back as soon as possible.

But what makes Jordan happy is that Gasol actually went beyond the three-point line! This space is too exaggerated!

That being the case, Jr. Jordan intends to deal with Link wholeheartedly.

Link took off against Jordan, and the strong Jordan pressed down on Link. I have to admit, this guy is really good on defense right now.

But in the air, Link retracted the basketball he held up to his waist and delivered it precisely to Gasol.

Seeing Gasol receiving the ball from the three-point line, the entire Clippers team was indifferent. What's the use of a floor-flowing center holding the ball from beyond the arc? In this defense, Jordan stopped Link from attacking the frame, which was considered a success.

As a result, Pau Gasol actually shot directly outside the three-point line!

Indeed, the three-point shot is not Gasol's conventional weapon, and can't even be called a weapon. It's only during practice that Gasol makes the occasional 3-pointer.

But after all, he has a soft touch, and his 3-point shooting isn't entirely without percentages. You know, even Howard has made a corner three this season...

And now this situation is no different from the empty three-pointer in training!

"Mark made a decisive shot from beyond the three-point line. If I remember correctly, this should be the first time he has attempted a shot from beyond the three-point line this season!"

Link believes in Gasol. After all, he will be one of the most accurate three-pointers in the league in the future.

The next second, the basketball crossed the top of Jordan's head, fell into the net with a perfect arc, and hit a three-pointer!

"Come in! Marc Gasol didn't waste the opportunity of this big vacancy! Looking at DeAndre Jordan's expression, he seems to think that everything that just happened is unbelievable!"

Looking at Jordan's expression, Gasol proudly compared Scissorhands.

But in fact, it was not Scissorhands, but a reminder to Jordan, "I am second, you are only fourth!"

7 to 0, the Clippers were embarrassedly stopped. Link walked off the court with ease, not even sweating much.

He had said earlier that nothing would go wrong in this game.
