Four Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Everyone Can Play

Link sat on the sidelines, behind him, the fans were collectively shouting the word "defense".

At this point, it was the Grizzlies' defensive round. Marc Gasol became the most high-profile player.

"Boss, am I still here?" Seeing this, Link couldn't help turning his head to talk to Stevens.

Stevens looked up at the big screen at the scene, there were 5 minutes left until the end of the game, but the Grizzlies had an 18-point lead...

The Clippers without Paul were mistreated today. Offensively, the Clippers do not have a stable point. Griffin struggled a lot today. After no one gave him pie, Griffin played singles against Randolph alone, and his efficiency was really low. So far in the fourth quarter, the score is still not in double figures.

Two years ago, as the darling of Los Angeles, the gap between him and Link has been widened.

The Clippers' offense today relied on Crawford and Matt Barnes on the bench. These two people changed their bodies today and turned into bench bandits, which did not allow the Clippers to lose 20 points directly.

Before the game, most people thought the Clippers would be able to fight the Grizzlies even without Paul. After all, they're one of the best teams in the league.

However, it turns out that without Paul's Clippers, only the Grizzlies will be spoiled.

The strength of the Grizzlies is no longer just dragging out a team, and they can be compared with them.

So, Stevens only replied to Link, "If this attack on the Clippers fails again and we fight back, I don't think you need to play today."

Link nodded and leaned back on the bench. Also, if the Clippers fail to attack this time and the Grizzlies score another goal, the gap will go to 20 points.

Leading by 20 points in five minutes, there is really no need to play again.

So, it all depends on this attack and defense. Marc Gasol has become a key figure in deciding whether the game will end early.

At this time on the court, the Clippers' super sixth man Jamal Crawford made a butterfly walk outside the three-point line, which made Nick Young very irritable.

He hated who showed off the dribble in front of him the most, as if he was deliberately showing off. So, if you force yourself to be strong, you will break if you stretch out your hand.

Link shook his head,

Crawford is waiting for you to reach out.

Sure enough, as soon as Nick Yang reached out to steal, Crawford immediately pulled the ball to the left and accelerated the breakthrough! Yang Shaoxia's defense is really not in line with the Grizzlies' temperament.

Crawford successfully broke through, and the speed of the sprint after the breakthrough was very fast. Being a single player after all, these things are really top notch.

After reaching the inside line, Crawford raised his hand to layup. If the goal is scored, the difference will become 16 points. Although the gap is still very large, but at least there is still a fight.

Just as Crawford looked around nervously, the shadow he most feared appeared.

I saw little Gasol rushing from the side with claws and claws, like a wild beast. Crawford wanted to use a lever action to avoid the block, but before he could do it, the basketball in his hand was swept away by Gasol!

"Eighth, God! Marc Gasol sent the eighth block of this game! At the same time, this also set a record for the highest blocks in a single game so far in his career!"

With the shouting of Hubie Brown, the whole stand broke out. And Link, who was on the bench, couldn't help but make an exaggerated expression.

Behind Link was Randolph, who put one hand on Link's shoulder and covered his mouth with the other, and beside him was Iguodala, who was smiling brightly. In front of him was Conley who was applauding. Link stood in the middle with his mouth in an "O" shape.

Stevens glanced at the few live treasures next to him, and smiled with relief. This picture is really a bit like the heyday of the Los Angeles Lakers' bench...

The Grizzlies locker room atmosphere is like a family. Even celebrating on the bench, the picture can be so harmonious.

Gasol has completely turned into a beast today. Before the game, he was questioned by countless media and challenged by the fourth-ranked Jordan.

They all thought that this elegant Spaniard was easy to bully, but Gasol told the world with his performance today, "The Grizzlies have no cowards!"

Don't you just think my data is not good-looking? Then I will give you the data!

So today, Gasol ran at the defensive end and actively took off and blocked shots. Whenever he gets the chance, he plays basketball like volleyball. Whenever there is a chance, he will start to dig the ball.

Then, it became the current situation. With 8 blocks and 3 steals, Gasol allowed Jordan to score only 4 points, and it became the nightmare of every Clippers player.

A "giant nemesis" as strong as Jamal Crawford was terrified by the big white bear that rushed out just now.

The basketball that was fanned out by Gasol fell into Vasquez's hands, and the Venezuelans pushed forward steadily without rushing.

Seeing that Vasquez was in possession of the ball, Link was relieved a lot. This humble South American defender is very cunning, he doesn't do superfluous things, and he rarely makes mistakes. Once shot, it is fatal.

Vasquez saw that Bledsoe's defense was a little loose, so he suddenly accelerated to break through! This time, the Clippers' defense was completely messed up.

Jordan has been beaten to autism today. He has 8 blocks, 3 steals and 10 rebounds. Jordan's 3 blocks and 7 rebounds are really not enough.

But seeing Vasquez rushing in, Jordan still wanted to regain some face. But Link just said that once Vasquez shot, it would be fatal.

After attracting Jordan's defense, Vasquez passed the ball behind the back and passed it very secretly. Little Jordan was ready to take off and block, only to realize that the basketball was no longer in the hands of the South American defender.

So who was the ball passed to? Marc Gasol running up from behind!

Because Vasquez's pass was very secret, Gasol was not hindered in any way. After receiving the ball, he took two big steps and lifted the basketball high to take off.

By the time Jordan turned around, it was too late.

Gasol split the dunk with one hand, and Jordan could only stand there dumbfounded.

One offense and one defense, Gasol allowed the Grizzlies to widen the gap to 20 points in less than five minutes. With 18 points, 10 rebounds, 8 blocks, 3 steals and 4 assists, Marc Gasol showed the Grizzlies' No. 5 power to the fullest today!

"Looks like you don't have to play." Stevens opened his hand to Link, and the game had ended early.

Link shrugged, he was happy to relax.

Today, although Link scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, in the end, Gasol was selected as the best player of the game.

This is also a rare occasion. After the Grizzlies won, the best of the game was not Link. 93 to 74, the Grizzlies won their fifth victory in their 8-day, 6-game schedule.

6 games and 5 wins, won the most important opponent Spurs, no one was injured. The Grizzlies' January Devil's Tournament has ended successfully!

In an interview after the game, Link did not shy away from using his compliments on his good brother Gasol in front of the camera, "I said before the game that Mark should not be ranked in the best defensive player prediction. No. 2, he should go straight to No. 1. If I say it, he's the best defensive player."

Hubie Brown ended his work in a happy atmosphere. After the game, watching the arena with fewer and fewer people, Brown chatted with his assistant.

"Marc Gasol's performance is amazing, but in reality, the Grizzlies have a lot of players like him. Zach, Conley, Andrew, Tony, Nick ... they are all strong players, It's just that Link's brilliance is covered up, so people have the illusion that the Grizzlies are not very powerful except Link. The Grizzlies have enough strength to hit the league's highest honor this year. Just look at Gasol's performance today and you'll know I'm not kidding. The Grizzlies are not a multi-big team, but Grizzlies players can play every one of them!"

The 80-year-old man has explained the city's games for many years, but this time, he feels that his dream may come true.

Memphis Grizzlies, now the real champion backup!
