Eight Hundred and Sixty: You Made a Mistake (Five/Five)

Doc Rivers originally planned to completely widen the gap in the second quarter, but now he is thinking about how to close the score.

Rivers misjudged the strength of DeAndre Jordan and Griffin. He did not expect that while restricting Link, the Clippers would be beaten badly by Gasol and a 10-day short-term worker. ....

However, 9 points is not the end of the world for the Clippers, and Rivers is still full of hope for the game.

"In the second half, we implemented man-to-man marking. Whiteside has no offensive skills at all and no singles ability. Gasol's efficiency will drop sharply when encountering strong defense. As for Link..." Rivers said At this point, I couldn't help but glance at Paul.

"Link hardly took any shots in the second quarter and only scored 10 points at halftime. There should be a big problem with his physical condition. In the second half, Barnes, you can handle him. If not, Chris, you can Go defend Link."

Rivers knows very well that the biggest drawback of man-to-man defense is that Link will be liberated.

But due to Link's previous performance, Rivers was lucky. He thought that Link might not be able to exert his full power.

"I'm extremely happy!" Paul geared up. He was not afraid of defending opponents who were taller than him.

Paul heard everything Link said during the intermission interview. Not to mention the second quarter, when Link provoked Paul countless times.

No matter what, he will not give up this game! Paul hates being offended and will show Link who's boss.

The second half started quickly. When Jordan and Griffin came on the court, their heads were lowered.

After being blown up like that in the second quarter, they were naturally disgraced.

Paul patted them on the back to show encouragement, "It's only 9 points away. We still have a lot of time. As long as we can defend against man-to-man marking, we can overtake!"

Falling behind by 9 points at halftime is not the end of the world. On the commentary desk, Mark Jackson also said something similar to Paul's.

"The Grizzlies played very well in the second quarter, but the Clippers are not a fuel-saving lamp. Redick, Paul and Crawford's three outsiders all performed well offensively today. If they can create a wave of offensive climax, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”

"But have you ever thought, Mark, that the Grizzlies might be the first to hit the offensive climax?" Hubie Brin smiled. Link only scored 10 points today.

That guy hasn't started attacking yet.

"No, it won't. Doc Rivers is very experienced, you and I both know that. He won't do nothing, and the Clippers must have adjusted their defensive strategy to limit the Grizzlies' interior twin towers."

Hubie Brown just smiled and said no more.

It seems that Mark Jackson still doesn't know Link's style. He still needs to come to FedEx Arena to commentate on a few more games.

Before the start of the second half, Link waved to Paul as soon as he stepped onto the court.

"Chris, I hope you're ready."

"I hope you're ready too, and we'll get back together." Paul croaked, his hands on his hips.

"It seems you haven't realized the mistake you made, Chris. The biggest mistake you made today was pissing me off.

"

Link said this with a smile, but Paul felt a chill go down his spine.

Soon, the Grizzlies took a baseline kick, and Link officially began to implement his "three-quarter punch-in" plan.

In the first attack of the second half, Link took over the ball. Barnes pressed forward, hoping to put pressure on Link.

Rivers felt extremely nervous off the court. Whether Link could still perform at his best was the key to whether the Clippers could win today.

After a period of tentative steps, Link accelerated his breakthrough and made an emergency stop jumper from mid-range.

As soon as the ball was released, Rivers waved his fist. He could see that Link's shot was crooked!

Sure enough, the basketball hit the front of the basket and Link missed the first shot!

The whole audience sighed. Has Link really not recovered from his injury today?

Just when everyone was wondering, Link quickly jumped into the penalty area after missing the shot and "flyed" lightly into the air.

Little Jordan had just lifted his heavy body off the floor, but Link had already stretched out his long arm over his head and caught the basketball that bounced out of the frame.

I saw Link making a gentle tap in the air, and the basketball obediently flew back to the basket.

This time, there was no accident, the basketball fell into the net!

"Wonderful self-shooting and steal, Link made a tip-in, and he opened the point difference to double digits! Haha, it seems that his previous missed shot was just to pave the way for this beautiful tip-in."

The fans who were sighing a second ago immediately cheered. This is Link. He can always change the result when everyone thinks it is finished!

Link raised his arms and smiled with the fans.

But when passing by Paul, Link's smile still made the "Queen Bee" feel uncomfortable, "This is just the beginning, Chris, just the beginning. We still have time to slowly correct your mistakes."

This is not the first time Paul has been provoked like this, but every time, he can immediately regain his face.

This time, Paul thought so too.

Taking advantage of Griffin's pick-and-roll, Paul suddenly stopped, creating the illusion of preparing for a mid-range shot.

Conley was fooled, he threw up his center of gravity and prepared to jump to block. Paul went down the slope and accelerated twice, passing Conley.

Don't forget, this Clippers No. 3 is also a master of dribbling.

Paul broke through at a very fast speed. At this time, neither Gasol nor Whiteside had returned to the penalty area. Paul knew that under the circumstances he could do whatever he wanted.

Take off, fly, pass the basketball to the basket, and then...

"Bang!"

Link swung his huge palm from behind Paul, and Taishan pushed the ball cleanly onto the backboard. Paul fell to the ground!

Paul lay on the ground and looked at Link, whose eyes were full of anger. Link shook his head gently at Paul, as if to tell him, "Your time of doing whatever you want is over."

"Having been fooled, Paul has been targeted by Link for a long time! The player with the lowest blocked shot rate in the league can't avoid Link's open fire." Hubie Breen had a lot of witty words. He had long been Link was prepared for his outburst.

Link turned around and counterattacked, running to the front in an instant.

Matt Barnes arrived in time and interrupted the Grizzlies' fast break.

But Link didn't give up. After seeing that the fast break failed, he leaned against Barnes with his strong back and raised his hand to ask for the ball like an inside post.

Conley delivered the ball comfortably, and Barnes gritted his teeth, knowing that he was about to face a tough battle.

However, the fight ended sooner than Barnes expected.

Link turned around, his broad shoulders and thick back brushing against Barnes, as if a compass had drawn a perfect arc.

Link's steps were so fast that Barnes had no reaction to this turn. Like a dead tree, he watched Link flash past him, and then gently put the ball into the frame.

There was no hard fight, and Link allowed Barnes to "die" painlessly.

Link scored 4 points in a row, but everyone knew that his performance was not over yet.

Chris Paul didn't want to watch Link perform. He motioned to Barnes to switch positions with him, and then he would personally defend Link!

But before that, the Clippers have to solve their offensive problems.

Paul can't play alone now. He knows that Link is watching him. So, he wanted to find Redick or Griffin, hoping to break the deadlock with a shot.

However, what Paul didn't expect was that Link would be the first to defend him.

Facing Link's long arms, Paul lowered his center of gravity and waited for Jordan to pick and roll.

Link stared at the basketball in Paul's hand, and he could feel Paul's power about to explode.

Jordan's cover was in place, and Paul accelerated to prepare for a breakthrough. He worked hard, and the temperature inside the "engine" had already reached its highest level!

The moment Paul accelerated, Link suddenly stretched out his long arm, and without Paul reacting at all, he poked the basketball out of his hand!

"What!? Link stole Chris Paul!?" Mark Jackson covered his head with his hands and stood up. Paul was like a pot of water that was about to boil. A second before it overflowed, Link poured a bowl of cold water on him. Go down.

Paul immediately "cooled down", but Link took advantage of the situation and made a solo fast break. Barnes found that he was completely unable to catch up with No. 0. He had to admit that he was no longer the "mad dog" he was during the Warriors gang.

Link dunked with one hand and trampled the basket, scoring 6 points in a row!

Paul rarely had the basketball taken away from him, but this time, he felt Link's deep malice.

His mind was now filled with Link's words, "You made a mistake."

20 seconds later, Link deceived Paul into the air from outside the three-point line. The latter was like an out-of-control plane, and was hit head-on by Link. He took a shot, fouled, and succeeded in three free throws!

On the free throw line, Link made no mistakes and made all three free throws, scoring 9 points in a row!

In the next round, Link played much easier. He feinted a shot and then cut in hard from the right, pushing Paul to take three big steps and successfully layup.

Paul was completely unable to resist, and Link's impact completely crushed him in.

After scoring 11 points in a row, Link went crazy!

Every time after that, Paul felt regretful, regretting that he had angered someone he shouldn't have angered in the first quarter...

When Link easily scored again over Paul with a turn-over jumper, Doc Rivers stopped the game.

Before the start of the second half, Paul also encouraged the dejected Griffin and DeAndre Jordan as a leader.

But now, Paul's head was buried deeper than theirs.

"He scored 15 points in a row. Terrible Link. As soon as the third quarter started, he scored 15 points in a row. The Clippers couldn't stop him at all. He only scored 10 points in the first half, but this guy seemed to be deliberately saving It seemed like I was exerting all my strength, and I released it all in the third quarter!”

Link went on a 15-0 run by himself. The Clippers were now 24 points behind and were beaten to pieces with almost no room for counterattack.

As Link said, he ended everything before the fourth quarter came.

His anger burned this battlefield to the point where not even a blade of grass could grow.
