Seven Hundred and Fifty-Nine: This Is Your Best Defensive Player

26 points at halftime, even for scorers such as Durant and Anthony, is definitely a rather exaggerated number.

What's more, this data is still obtained by Paul, who has always put the ball first. Paul's performance in the first half of the game was undoubtedly subversive.

The Clippers fans were cheering at home at this time, and they were able to overwhelm the invincible Grizzlies, as if the championship was already in their pockets.

In the face of victory, the best defensive player is worthless at all! What if Link stole the Defensive Player of the Year award? What the Clippers can steal is victory!

At this point in the Clippers locker room, the players are very excited. The offense played so beautifully in the half-time game, and Paul undoubtedly gave everyone blood. And, the effect is even more pronounced than Doug Rivers' chicken soup.

"Let's keep it going in the second half, don't let it go! Those bastards thought they were winning, they thought sweeping the old-fashioned Mavericks meant they were great. Then we'll show them what the real playoffs are. !"

Paul roared in the locker room, and the others chimed in. Paul's emotions have been passed on to every Clippers player.

Rivers nodded with satisfaction. It seems that this halftime break will not cool down the Clippers' offensive firepower.

When the second half begins, the Grizzlies will face the same fierce blow!

Rivers is really fortunate that the Clippers can have a player like Chris Paul. If he only had Jordan and Griffin in this game, he might have lost it long ago. But with Paul, you have every possibility.

Rivers couldn't help but wonder what the Grizzlies locker room would be like right now. Those high and mighty guys have never been beaten so badly by others before. They must be overwhelmed now, and they are about to burst into tears.

The Grizzlies have almost never fallen this season, so let them fall hard today!

"Okay guys, it's almost time to play again! Hold on to your anger and let them all go to hell!" Rivers looked at his watch, then opened the locker room door and waved his hand.

The Clippers players all rushed out like hungry wolves. Their momentum seemed unstoppable!

At the same time, Link was slowly walking towards the court with his teammates. He stood at the front of the line and stepped out of the tunnel first.

The best defensive player, decided to make good use of his strength on the defensive end.

※※※

"Friends, viewers, welcome back, we will continue to bring you the second half of the Grizzlies and Clippers game! In the first half, the Clippers played an extremely efficient offense! Chris Paul made 6 of 6 three-pointers in the half. , his terrifying scoring ability has been a pain in the ass for the Grizzlies."

"That's right, when DeAndre Jordan was shy on the defensive end because of foul trouble, Paul stepped up and solved the problem with offense. They took the initiative and caught the defending champion Grizzlies by surprise! The second half of the game, I don't know if the Clippers can maintain the offensive intensity just now!"

The two commentators got to work right away, giving fans a brief review of the first half.

At this point, the Grizzlies sent the baseline ball. In the second half, the Grizzlies did not make personnel adjustments and still used the original starting lineup.

People thought that the Grizzlies would send a small lineup to play against the Clippers, but they didn't.

Don't the Grizzlies make any adjustments? Or is it that Dave Jogel, the best coach, has run out of options? In either case, the Clippers are willing to see it!

For the first offense in the second half, Link handed it over to Conley. After Conley broke through, he deceived Jordan with a beautiful move on a fake facsimile and succeeded in throwing.

While Conley's goal cut the deficit to 11, the Clippers didn't care. There is no hope for the Grizzlies to have such a 2-2-point chisel!

Compared to the offense, the Grizzlies have only one dead end today!

Paul was thinking so, he began to control the ball to advance. As he looks for space, he checks to see if his teammates have a chance to score.

But just after the halftime line, Paul and all the fans watching the game finally found out what the Grizzlies had changed in the second half.

At this time, in front of Chris Paul is no longer Conley, but the freshly released best defensive player Link!

"Link defended himself in front of Paul! In the second half of the game, Link decided to face Paul directly on the defensive end! The intensity of the game has been upgraded again, let's see if the best defensive player can resist Sao Paulo's efficient attack!" Hubi Brown had goosebumps all over. Paul, who scored 26 points at halftime, faced the best defensive player Link. This was a matchup like Mars hit the earth!

No wonder Link handed over the offense to Conley just now. It turned out that he wanted to keep his experience on the defensive end.

"Damn it!" Paul cursed secretly. He didn't forget that the few missed shots he made in the first half were all caused by Link's defense.

Although not convinced that Link took the Best Defensive Player Award, Paul would never underestimate Link's defensive ability.

Blame it on the Clippers for not being tall at the second position. J.J. Redick is exactly the size of a point guard. Conley switched defenses and didn't suffer at all. Therefore, Link can also safely guard against the No. 1 position.

Link's just being in front of Paul already made the point guard who scored 26 points in the first half a little terrified.

But Paul won't show his heart, and his face is still full of confidence. He called for cover, and both Jordan and Griffin came up.

Double screens, if the screen quality is high and coupled with a capable point guard, it is easy to get a goal opportunity.

When Griffin and Jordan lifted, Link put his left hand behind his back and gestured to Gasol and Randolph.

The meaning of the gesture is simple: don't switch!

After the screen was in place, Paul began to prepare to break through. He first accelerated towards the Griffin on the left, but after taking a step, he quickly changed direction and plunged to the right!

Paul believes that no matter how good Link is, it is impossible for Link to make a correct judgment and get rid of the cover in such a short time.

If Gasol switched defenses on this ball, Paul assisted Jordan for a dunk. If Gasol doesn't switch, Paul can get his own scoring opportunity!

In either case, the beneficiary is the Clippers!

The best defensive player is not invincible! Swapping Link and Conley can contain me? Stop dreaming!

However, Paul didn't feel proud for a long time when he felt that he had been slammed from the side.

Turning his head to look, it turned out that Link had rushed back to his side!

"What!?" Paul couldn't believe that Link came after him. How did this guy do it?

Paul was distracted for about a second, but in this second, Link lowered his center of gravity, stretched out his arm, and prepared to steal!

"What is this guy thinking!?" Seeing that Link was about to steal, Paul turned sideways to protect the ball. A 2.03-meter forward steals a point guard who is 20 cm shorter than himself. Isn't this self-indulgent!

But Link was no Westbrook, and he never gambled on steals. Once Link makes a shot, it means that the ball carrier is in big trouble! For the best defensive player, one second of distraction is enough to create a steal!

Paul pulled the ball sideways, trying to open the distance between him and Link. This trick works well against the 1st position, but it is completely useless for the slender 3rd position.

Paul found that the distance he opened was completely unable to avoid Link's long arms. Link's fingertips touched the basketball first, and Paul lost control of the basketball!

Chris Paul is one of the most difficult to block and steal players in the league, but in front of the focused Link, even a second of Paul's slack will burn him.

The basketball was stabbed by Link and lost control. Paul reflexively prepared to chase the ball, but Link rushed up at a faster speed, and then took the lead to control the ball with his more slender arms!

Paul threw himself to the ground in embarrassment because of the rush and the physical confrontation with Link. And Link took the basketball and walked away, and launched a counterattack directly with a steal!

Due to the suddenness of the incident, no one from the Clippers reacted. By the time they started chasing back, Link had already entered the empty Clippers penalty area.

Link made a slight jump, gliding a distance in the air and then dunked with one hand. Now the Grizzlies are still behind, so Link has no intention of doing fancy dunks. The most simple and unpretentious dunks naturally have the highest hit rate.

"Link completed a steal in the first round of defending Paul and made a fast break! With 9 points, the Memphis Grizzlies narrowed the point difference to single digits! Ladies and gentlemen, this is your best defensive player!"

Link's dunk brightened the dead FedEx Arena.

The fans applauded and cheered wildly, knowing that the city's leaders would not let them down!

After landing from the basket, Link pointed to the stand, and then to Paul, who had just gotten up from the ground.

Paul gritted his teeth and found himself in fear!

Clipper No. 3 immediately shook his head, today is his great night, and no one is allowed to destroy it!

But Link won't give Paul a chance to breathe. After Jordan, it's time to crush Paul!

The Clippers were still ahead by 9 points at this point, but they were as nervous as they were 9 points behind.
