Five Hundred and Fifty-One: Mouth Escape Strong

Under normal circumstances, the training of the two teams should be carried out in two different training venues. Generally speaking, an NBA team has more than one training venue at home, which can fully satisfy the two teams to train together without disturbing each other.

What's more, in order to prevent too much contact with opponents before the game, they even rent a training hall for training. In short, the training of two different teams is definitely the best hope not to interfere with each other.

There are many training halls, but there is only one playing field. Therefore, the training time at the competition venue is generally staggered for both teams.

For example, if the home team comes to the venue for training in the morning, it will be the visiting team's turn in the afternoon. In short, it is impossible for two teams of players to appear on the field for training at the same time.

Today, however, Jimmy Butler met.

When Link arrived at the training ground, Paul hadn't left. He just glanced at Link, then continued to shoot to himself.

"Just him?" Link leaned over to Jimmy Butler and asked in a low voice.

"He's the only one who has been practicing shooting and hasn't spoken to me." Jimmy Butler spread his hands. Except for Link, he had never seen the star of a team come so early.

Seeing that Paul was alone, Link didn't say anything. Anyway, the training of the Grizzlies has not yet started, and Paul does not have the behavior of eavesdropping on tactics. And if he's just shooting by himself, it doesn't affect Jimmy Butler and his preparations to be honest.

Although Paul is stubborn and has a lot of small moves on the court, he is a principled person. Link believes he'll leave when the Grizzlies' acclimatization begins.

But what makes Link curious is why Paul came to the court so early to practice shooting. Could it be that he lost so badly yesterday that he couldn't sleep at night?

Yes, you can only find the best feel when you practice on the competition court. While the hoop, hoop, and basketball are all the same, the shot feels different on different courts.

Link ignored Paul and practiced with Jimmy Butler as if they didn't exist.

But the distance between the two is less than 100 meters, and it is impossible to completely ignore each other. After a while, Paul heard Link's half-court, the sound of the nets rolling incessantly, and Paul on the other side could not help clenching his teeth.

He doesn't want to admit defeat! Even if it's just training!

Then Link found out that where he shoots, Paul will shoot another from the same position in the other half!

That guy is on the fence with himself!

"Damn, you have to compare this with me, so you won't lose!" Link is young and energetic. Although he is not too young in the NBA, he is actually only a few years out of college, so he definitely can't stand this kind of provocation. what!

Besides, because of the environment in which NBA players are in, there are many players who still look like children in their mid-thirties, let alone Link.

The two of them didn't say a word, so they secretly competed.

Link throws one in, and Paul immediately returns one. The key is that both of them have a very high level of shooting.

As two players in the top five of the MVP rankings, they are shooting unguarded and hitting 100 percent from the field is not difficult at all.

Watching Link and Paul secretly compete, Butler was speechless. Can these two guys do it? It's their shooting that really hits Jimmy Butler...

It's so accurate!

After about seventy or eighty throws, Link missed for the first time. This time Link chose a position one step away from the top of the arc on the three-point line, which was indeed a bit far from the basket. He originally wanted to make it difficult for Paul, but he didn't know that he overturned first.

"Yes!" Seeing Link strike the iron, Paul finally couldn't help yelling in the other half. The guy must have waited for this moment for a long time, and he couldn't hold back his excitement.

Afterwards, Paul also took a jump shot from a step away from the three-point line!

But unlike Link, Paul's basketball was still hollow into the net, and the crisp sound of the friction between the basketball and the net made Paul close his eyes.

This is simply the most beautiful note in the world!

"Fuck, this guy feels so good today..." Link wiped his sweat, it was very tiring to shoot so many baskets in a row.

How bad Paul's performance last night, Link has not forgotten. Although Paul still handled the Clippers' offense in good order, his own scoring performance was not good.

However, from today's point of view, Paul is bottoming out.

After beating Link, Paul put on his training suit contentedly, as if ready to leave.

But before leaving, he looked at Link and said his first words of the day to him.

"Here tomorrow night, I'll take you, little rookie. Don't think you can destroy me if you win a game."

After all, Paul has just left, and he is very aggressive.

"Hey, what about you, Jimmy." Link poked Butler beside him with his elbow with a nonchalant expression on his face.

"Ah!? It's none of my business, it's obviously a grievance between the two of you, okay!" Butler was speechless, and Randolph had to bow down when compared to Link.

"Oh, he's talking to me." Link looked as if nothing had happened, but his fists were already clenched, "Then let's have a look!"

Jimmy Butler shook his head, do these guys have to make things so complicated?

But then again, Paul's shooting condition is really good today. Although the shooting state does not equal the game state, but looking at the posture of Paul just now, it is not discouraged at all.

In the series against the Rockets, the Grizzlies basically overcame the Rockets in the first game. But Paul seemed to be in high spirits even though he only lost one game yesterday.

Butler pouted, it seems that this fierce battle will not end so soon.

※※※

The day of training went by quickly, and now the whole world is talking about James winning the MVP, and Link and the others are happy not to be disturbed.

On May 9, the second game of the Western Conference semifinals will continue at the FedEx Arena!

Today Link is unsmiling, and people think Link is unhappy because he regrets losing the MVP.

Only Jimmy Butler knew what Link was thinking at this time.

LeBron James? It is estimated that it has been thrown out of the sky by Link. Link's mind is now full of Chris Paul!

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room is more serious. Although Link is serious, he will not impose this emotion on his teammates.

And Paul is different, if he wants to work hard, he will ask the whole team to work as hard as him.

This may also be the reason why Paul's popularity in the league is not very good. Those who like him like him to death, and those who hate him also hate him to death.

Some players don't really play to win, but Paul may never have figured that out for the rest of his life.

"Link, don't worry. You're only 24 years old, and you have a chance. Karl Malone won his first MVP title at the age of 33, but that doesn't affect his greatness in the slightest." Before the start of the game, Randolph also said Come over to comfort Link.

Link is really speechless. If you can't comfort others, don't force it. Randolph didn't say it was okay. When he said that, Link was afraid that he would not win the MVP until he was in his thirties.

"I don't care about MVP now, Zach, I just want to go to Los Angeles with a score of 2-0." Link waved his hand, stood up and jumped twice.

"Cut, that's not easy? Just like the Clippers, they killed them at halftime today!"

An hour later, Zach Randolph regretted saying this.

Just now, Chris Paul made a second shot on Randolph's head in this game. The big black bear is in a hurry. This kind of feeling that he is about to touch the ball, but the basketball rubs your fingertips and falls into the net. It's really fucked up!

"Chris Paul, he scored again. Paul scored 6 points in just a few rounds in the first quarter! And he made 3 of 3 shots, very efficient. Today, Chris Paul is on fire. !" On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith definitely nodded, this is Paul's normal level!

"Paul's state today has improved a lot compared to two days ago. God knows if Paul had this performance two days ago, would the Clippers still lose?"

"Don't worry, we'll get the answer today, Charles!"

The Clippers also led the Grizzlies by 5 points after Paul's throw. Although the lead is not large, everyone can see that the Clippers have a strong momentum today!

Clippers fans believe that the end of the last round of the Nuggets will soon appear on the Grizzlies.

After Paul scored, he deliberately ran to Link's side and muttered in Link's ear.

"You're going to lose just as badly as you did yesterday, brat! Keep your eyes open and I'll teach you how to score!"

After speaking, Paul quickened his pace and left.

But when he looked at Link again, he didn't see Link's angry expression as he wished, but saw Link laughing!

"That guy is an idiot!" Paul was shocked, and Link was the first person he had ever seen to laugh after being sprayed.

Can Link not laugh? After all, he hadn't met a decent mouth-to-mouth opponent for a long time.

Today, he is here!
