Seven Hundred and Sixty-Six: Sit Down, Routine Operations (Five/Five FourK)
The sudden counterattack of the Los Angeles Clippers made the drowsy fans instantly refreshed.
Facts have proved that the Clippers are indeed a very strong team.
Last game, they beat the Grizzlies in the first half. Today, they played the suspense again abruptly when the game had entered garbage time.
Clippers players have now played confident, they firmly believe that this game will be theirs. Now, the only obstacle in front of the Clippers is only one person - Link!
"He must be feeling cold now, we must guarantee the success rate on the offensive end! As long as we have a higher success rate on the offensive end than Link, we will win! Don't be afraid, stay confident! Defensively, also continue Keep the intensity! I know, Link is the MVP. But no one dictates that the MVP is destined to win!"
Doc Rivers and his players knew that Link would definitely return after this time out.
As long as the Clippers can handle Link, it will be the game!
3 minutes, which is not a lot of time for either side. Therefore, the two sides did not have time to test, and once they came up, they had to fight with real swords and guns to the end.
"We've made it this far, is there anyone willing to give up winning!? Come on, get on the court and let the Grizzlies know they're not world champions yet!"
Paul also yelled after Rivers.
He and Rivers are a match made in heaven, and with them, Clippers players can get excited at any time.
The timeout ended quickly, and on the Clippers side, Paul, Crawford, Barnes, Griffin and Jordan played the last three minutes.
On the Grizzlies side, when the fans on the scene saw Link reappear, the cheers in the stands could literally overturn the dome of the arena!
They saw Link as if they saw Superman in his underwear in a fire. All Memphis are convinced that Link will give them hope.
"Link reappeared in the last three minutes of the game, but the Clippers had already gained momentum. I wonder if Link can resist the opponent's frantic progress."
Hubie Brown is much calmer than other fans. He knew that Link was not omnipotent. In the last three minutes, he was ordered in danger, and God knows how far Link can play.
Link returned with Dellavedova, Tony Allen, Harris and Gasol.
The Grizzlies did not simply and rudely bring the starting five tigers back up, but made some adjustments.
Except for Link, the scoring ability of the other four players in this lineup does not seem to be strong. The Grizzlies' strategy is clear, just don't want to let the Clippers score easily.
As for offense? With Link here, attacking is enough!
Seeing Link reappear, Paul became more excited than before.
Today, he will personally kill the MVP!
The game restarted, and the Clippers swept away the decline of the previous three quarters and were full of energy.
Dellavedova handed the ball to Link just after halftime, and the Australian was not a master playmaker. His only role on the court at this time is to cause trouble for Paul.
As soon as Link got the ball,
The Clippers' defensive positioning changed instantly.
Link could see that as soon as he broke through, at least three people would double-team him!
So, Link switched to post-up singles, and he was going to eat Barnes in the middle distance!
Of course Paul wouldn't let such a thing happen. He double-teamed it for the first time and made trouble for Link with Barnes.
Paul wasn't afraid to pass Link to Dellavedova, the Australian defender notoriously incapable of scoring.
If Link chooses to pass the ball, it is equivalent to choosing to strike iron!
In the face of Paul's double-team and Barnes's defense, Link didn't pass the ball or make a mistake, but turned around and made a jumper as usual!
Both Paul and Barnes were blocked, and Link shot the ball under the interference of the two!
Hubie Brown was at a loss for words, unable to say a word.
For a split second, he felt as if he was at Staples, not FedEx.
Under the blockage of Barnes and Paul, Link's back angle is very exaggerated!
But in the air, Link stabilized his center of gravity and ensured that there was no deformation in his shooting action!
Jordan and Griffin rolled over and got stuck, ready to protect the rebound.
The basketball hit the front of the basket, and Jordan jumped high like a conditioned reflex!
But in the air, Jordan withdrew his hands ready to fight for the basketball. Because he found that after the basketball hit the front of the basket, it did not leave the range of the basket cylinder. At this time, if you touch the ball directly, you will be sentenced to interfere with the ball.
When Jordan landed, the basketball fell a second time. This time, there was no accident. The basketball passed through the net and fell directly to the ground. Link's fallback jumper under the defense of two people succeeded!
"Actually scored! That shot was really difficult! Even without defense, it would be very difficult to shoot from such an exaggerated back angle. Link pulled the difference back to 9 points as soon as he came up. He's a Clippers nightmare!"
Doug Rivers opened his mouth wide. He seemed to be back in 2008 and 2010, back to the time when he was fighting with No. 24.
Rivers has always thought that only Kobe Bryant's pervert can shoot under the defense of two people. But today, Link refreshed Rivers' list of perverts.
"Defense, defend, show your tough side!"
After the goal, Link glanced at Paul, and then shouted to his teammates to retreat quickly.
Although Link played three fewer years than Durant in the NBA, he looked more like a leader than Durant.
The Clippers also want to close the point gap with their efficient offense, but the Grizzlies' defense is completely different from the past five minutes.
With Link, the "Dinghaishenzhen", the Grizzlies' defense is no longer intimidating. Dellavedova collided with Paul without fear. Most rookie guards have to collapse when they encounter Paul, but the undrafted Dellavedova made Paul a little bit overwhelmed.
Paul even believes that the groundhog-like Australian should be on the rugby field, not the basketball court!
In Dellavedova's tireless entanglement, Paul and Griffin made a screen, and Paul took advantage of the situation to break through!
But Harris immediately made up for the defense. In terms of mobility, Tobias Harris was much faster than Randolph.
After being delayed by Harris, Paul hit the ball to Griffin. As long as Griffin rushes up, he can complete the dunk!
As a result, Dellavedova hugged Griffin directly. Australians are not afraid to face an opponent several times their size!
"Drawedova fouled and sent Blake Griffin to the free throw line. Della is such a tough guy, he was made for the playoffs!" Hubby Brown to Delavi Dowa's style is very appreciated.
On the court, Link also gave Dellavedova a thumbs up.
Getting Griffin to the free throw line is naturally better than letting him dunk directly. After all, not everyone's free throws are as stable as Link's.
As a result, Griffin made only one of two free throws at the free throw line. Griffin is very tired now, and it is normal for the free throw to be unstable. The two points that the Clippers clearly got, turned into one point.
Of course it's nice to get a point, but right now, the Clippers don't have time to chase it point by point.
Everyone else has done the dirty work for Link. Now, the only thing Link needs to think about is how to torture the Clippers' defense!
As a result, the energetic Link reappeared in front of Barnes. This time, Link simply controlled the ball himself, making no secret of his desire to dominate the offensive end.
Barnes entered the industry in 2003 and has been in the league for 11 years. He played in the playoffs 6 times, among them, there is even no lack of experience such as the Black Eight Mavericks in the 06-07 season and the Finals with the Magic in the 09-10 season.
Even so, however, Barnes considers this the toughest round series he's ever played. Every time he faced Link, he was dominated by a sense of powerlessness.
Link came from the backcourt with the ball and approached Barnes slowly and leisurely. Just when Barnes was about to beware of Link's post-up singles, Link suddenly changed hands quickly, then got up and accelerated, and got rid of Barnes in one step.
Barnes' defense has always been talked about by people, which is his biggest asset in the NBA. But in front of Link, Barnes has completely become a defensive black hole.
Griffin came to the defense as always, and he was even ready to knock over Link directly.
Link stepped into the penalty area and was about to lay up, but just as he and Griffin were about to collide, Link suddenly jumped to Griffin's side, avoiding Griffin's block!
"A European layup, Griffin was completely played by Link!"
Under the exclamation of Hubie Brown, Link's European step layup hollowed into the net.
Link rarely uses the Eurostep, but that doesn't mean he doesn't. Barnes and Griffin were like two stakes, and Link passed them as easily as if they were training.
The Clippers' defense was still like tissue paper to Link, and a big hole would appear with a light poke.
After the goal was scored, Link widened the difference to double digits. And another minute passed. The Clippers are getting farther and farther away from victory!
"Damn!" Paul was not convinced. Why was the game destined to be dominated by him as long as Link exerted his strength? Is that guy really one level more powerful than everyone?
Paul does not think so, here is the NBA, there is no strongest, only stronger!
Although Dellavedova is active in defense, he still lacks some experience.
Paul took advantage of Dellavedova's active defense, and took the initiative to shoot forward from beyond the three-point line, making Dellavedova a three-point foul.
CP3 is still trying to find a way to save the day. He made three free throws, making the difference back to 7 points!
This time, Paul also greeted so his teammates quickly retreated. As long as this attack is guarded, the Clippers have a chance to reduce the point difference to within 5 points! By then, the situation will be completely different!
Defend this attack, as long as you defend this attack!
Barnes and Link fought each other. He even pulled and pulled, but he didn't let Link catch the ball. The referee turned a blind eye to this, this is the playoffs, and such a wonderful game cannot be lost because of the referee.
As long as Barnes didn't directly strangle Link's neck, the referee thought it was reasonable.
Seeing that Link couldn't get the ball, Tobias Harris came out to receive Dellavedova, and then made a layup! With 24 seconds left to attack, Harris had no choice.
But I have to say that at this time, Harris is still very difficult to compete with Griffin. Under Griffin's strong confrontation, Harris' forced layup was completely deformed by the confrontation.
In the end, his layup didn't even touch the basket, but hit the backboard directly. Forcibly punching the frame seems like a no-brainer, but in fact, not everyone can do it.
Not to mention that the ball was not scored, Harris also fell heavily from the bottom line.
Paul was overjoyed, the ball was finally defended! Clippers victory in sight!
Link has already started to retreat, and even he thinks that this attack has been a complete failure.
But just when everyone was preparing to switch from offense to defense, Marc Gasol jumped hard, waved his long arm, and slapped the basketball directly beyond the three-point line!
Gasol couldn't grab the rebound directly from Jordan's head, but by hitting the ball out, he could at least create a chance!
Link, who had already started to retreat, saw the basketball rushing towards him quickly, so he looked at the timer on the backboard.
The 24-second attack time won't reset because Harris just layup and didn't stick to the frame. Now there are only 2 seconds left in the attack time, which means that Link will shoot immediately after receiving the ball!
But because he retreated too aggressively, Link's position is now between the midfield line and beyond the three-point line!
It's too far!
There is no way, you have to vote far away! Link aimed for the rim before he caught the ball and was ready to shoot. Then, the moment he received the basketball, he shot lightning from a long distance!
Paul never thought that this goal could be scored. He was already thinking about how to play the next attack well. It's best to hit a 3-pointer on the next attack, so that the Clippers can reduce the point difference to four points at a time.
Paul was thinking about it, but there was an electronic buzzer and... the sound of the nets rolling!
"What!?" Paul turned back suddenly, and found that his teammates had covered their heads.
Afterwards, Paul immediately looked at Link again, and saw that Link was standing in the position where he had just shot, pressing down with his hands.
"Isn't it just a three-pointer from a long distance, sit down and operate normally!"
Link's ultra-long-range three-point shot is a steady hit! The difference also changed back to 10 points again.
Paul's wish to reduce the difference to less than 5 points was completely broken!
For the second time today, Link pierced the heart of the league's first point guard.
