Six Hundred and Fifty-Seven: At Most It Is a Slapstick (Two/Five)

Bill Simmons can't talk much now. When the Clippers led by 8 points in the final three minutes of the game, he never thought the Clippers would lose.

Link's sudden return shattered the dreams of all sailing supporters. They thought it would be a beautiful revenge, but in fact, everything before was just paving the way for Link's heroic return.

Chris Paul is still unwilling to accept this result, he is still trying his best. He couldn't believe that the game that he originally got had to be won by Link like this.

At this point, with only 32 seconds left in the game, Link's appearance turned the Grizzlies from an 8-point deficit to a 3-point lead now.

So this attack is almost the Clippers' last chance. If they can't score the ball in this round, the game will lose the suspense.

Link's performance in the last 3 minutes made Staples completely silent. His streak of points, steals, and assists made it his own.

Although black and white bears are ferocious, they are not deadly. And the King of Memphis has always only been a killer!

Chris Paul hopes he can save the situation, and now the Clippers have himself, Redick and Dudley on the court, they all have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

Paul then began to organize the attack, hoping to lead to an open space.

Dudley was frightened enough by Link's appearance today, but he is really old, and he won't lose the chain at a critical moment. According to the tactics, Dudley moved precisely.

Ultimately, Dudley and Griffin gave Paul a double screen near the 3-point line.

This time, the double-screen play was very good, which not only made it difficult for Conley to get rid of it, but also made the Grizzlies' switching defense prone to loopholes.

After Paul took the ball and bypassed the screens of two people in a row, he completely threw off Conley and was ready to make a three-point shot!

The Clippers’ three-point shooting rate today is actually not very good. Even during Link’s absence, the Clippers’ three-point shooting was very difficult.

Paul was 0 of 2 from beyond the arc, J.J. Redick was 1 of 7, Crawford was 2 of 6... Up to now, the Clippers' 3-point shooting rate has just reached 30%.

But even so, Paul was full of confidence. Bill Simmons also has confidence in Paul that the superstar may not play well for the first few minutes.

But at the critical moment, they will never be soft-hearted! Link is like that, and so is Paul.

After bypassing the two-layer pick-and-roll, Paul was unguarded. He didn't hesitate, it's time to take responsibility!

The humiliation of being swept in the playoffs last year must not be forgotten!

Paul took a jump shot, and this time, he still felt that his shot felt great! And he was sure that Link couldn't suddenly hold the shot from behind him again.

But just as Paul was about to make a three-pointer, a big hand suddenly appeared in Paul's field of vision, interfering with his aim.

Paul didn't need to look to know who it was, and who else could it be? That guy Link is impossible to give up.

"Link's switching thinking is very clear. He was not overwhelmed by this double screen, and the switching was very decisive! Chris Paul seems to have increased his shooting arc and avoided Link's block, but can the ball go in?"

Bill Simmons' heart is in his throat, this goal will be directly related to his reputation!

The basketball is flying at a very positive angle, and Paul definitely aimed it. Now, let's look at the problem of the basketball's flight arc.

While most people were waiting for the result, Link rushed to the basket for the first time.

Whether this goal is scored or not, Link does not intend to give the Clippers a second chance to attack!

The basketball ended up short and hit the front of the basket! Link's interference had an effect. If Link hadn't blocked it, Paul would have scored the goal!

The moment the basketball hit the hoop, Link seemed to suddenly turn on the "switch" of his legs, jumped high, and held the rebound firmly.

Bill Simmons covered his head in annoyance, no, everything is gone!

After Link grabbed the rebound, Simmons immediately heard the referee whistle. There is no doubt that the Clippers must now use foul play to bet once.

In NBA history, there are many examples of losses due to free throw rollovers. But the fact is that once a team starts using foul play, it proves that they are cornered.

Link, wearing a black mask, slowly walked to the free throw line after being fouled, like a death god with a scythe, slowly approaching the Clippers who had no way out.

"It was a great game, wasn't it? Bill." Van Gundy smiled at Simmons next to him, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The director's reversal in the last three minutes of Link's return made Van Gundy feel as addicted as watching a lively action movie.

Of course, Bill Simmons was only depressed. It's the most embarrassing thing to predict the result of the game but get slapped in the face.

The most important thing is that Link not only won the game today, but also showed the exact opposite image of the word "soft egg".

When he was kicked away by Barnes, Link didn't roll on the floor to seek sympathy, but stood up as soon as possible, trying to find the culprit. Of course, Barnes must not feel bad when he was blindly smashed by Link with a basketball.

In the end, Link endured the pain and wore a mask, which was even more of Link's tough style.

This game made Bill Simmons' evaluation of Link seem a bit dark and dark.

"Link played really well today, if he can finally win... well I admit, this time I was beaten by him."

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the famous Bill Simmons relented.

As a villain in the media, there are also many people waiting to see Bill Simmons make a fool of himself. Bill Simmons knows that after today, there will be news mocking him all over the country.

During this time, he may be very sad. Link was right, the price of pissing him off was high, but it was also very interesting.

Simmons smiled while annoyed, he will continue to play this "game" with Link!

On the court, Link made two free throws, which completely broke the Clippers' dream of winning.

In the next round, the Clippers also wanted to grab a three-pointer, but J.J. Redick's poor touch did not come back to life in the key round.

When Redick's 3-pointer came out of the box like Paul, the entire Staples Center fell silent.

In the 2009 Western Conference semifinals, Rockets VS Lakers, after Yao Ming left the court with an injury, he refused the trainer's request, simply stretched and returned to the court. His behavior even moved Lakers fans, when the Staples Center was filled with applause for Yao Ming. Yao Ming hit a key jumper as soon as he came back, and finally helped the Rockets grab a key first victory at Staples.

That scene is definitely a great picture lingering in the hearts of many Chinese fans, and it is also the final glory of Chinese players in the NBA.

Now, 4 years later, at Staples, Link has once again re-enacted Yao Ming's legendary performance at that time.

Although this is not the playoffs, although Link's injury is far less serious than Yao Ming. But at least this game has made Chinese fans around the world find that pride again.

The electronic beep ended the tragic fight, Chris Paul scolded, tore off his armguard, and threw it to the ground.

106 to 102, the Memphis Grizzlies finally won the Clippers at Staples without any risk, and won the first 11 consecutive victories!

Today, the Grizzlies' best performance is a pair of black and white bears. Gasol scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. As a center, he scored a quasi-triple-double, which is amazing!

Randolph even let Griffin know what is your uncle or your uncle. His performance of 26 points and 15 rebounds made the young champion languish.

It was the strong performance of the black and white bears that allowed the Grizzlies to last until the moment when Link came back.

In the end, Link had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Don't look at this statistic that is incomparable to usual, but considering that Link only played 12 minutes of the game, this efficiency is quite scary!

"12 minutes and 16 points, even if God comes, it can't stop Link." Jeff Van Gundy rarely praises a player like this because he doesn't think anyone can match God.

But today, he changed his mind.

After the game, no one cared about the furious Paul, and no one cared about the ejected Barnes.

Link, wearing a black mask, became a favorite of reporters.

"I'm very grateful to my teammates, and you can see how good they are today. I only played one quarter of the game today, and the remaining three quarters were all supported by them. To be honest, I think they Much more credit than me. I thank them and I love them."

When asked "what do you think of this reversal victory", Link did not mention his performance, but put all the credit on his teammates.

The reporters were very surprised, it was clear that Link had directed the big reversal at the critical moment. But in the end, Link doesn't need people's favor.

No wonder, the Grizzlies atmosphere will be so good.

"So what do you think of Bill Simmons? You did cost him dearly today, and his credibility will be greatly reduced in the future. Do you think you have won the match against him?"

Faced with this problem, Link was not so gentle.

"It's not even a duel between me and him, it's more of a slapstick. Really, Bill Simmons is only at the level of slapstick in my eyes. I'm looking forward to him wearing women's clothes to interview me one day. .Hopefully, he won't forget about it when the time comes."

Link smiled and faced the camera, and he will always take the slam dunk contest on his mind.
