One Hundred and Forty-Two: Why Are You so Short

Griffin rushed over the baseline and slammed into the basketball hoop. Even the NBA basketball hoop is covered with soft pads and has taken adequate protective measures. But Griffin, who was flung out by Link Point, was hit hard. The most annoying thing is that he hit himself when he wanted to play hard...

"Damn! My mistake!" Griffin apologized to his teammates, and then continued to run towards the front court.

In the rookie game, Link and Cousins ​​teamed up to grab the limelight, and Griffin didn't care. In the regular season, Link was hailed as "the strongest rookie" again and again, and Griffin didn't care either.

But now, after Link himself played Griffin in the regular season, the No. 1 repeater couldn't take it anymore. It's a shame for Griffin to be threatened as the best rookie by an undrafted pick. He's an All-Star forward and his goal this year is to be the best of all the rookies.

Griffin has already begun to secretly compete with Link, but this guy doesn't know it yet, he has long been targeted by a more dangerous person...

"Good job Link, you should play him like that!" Randolph repeatedly praised in the other half. Link just stole Griffin and scored a counterattack, which made Randolph's heart very happy.

"I guess he may still attack you, hold on, Zach."

"Ha! Let him let the horse come over!" Randolph swung his arms, and the guy seemed to be eager to rush up and throw Griffin directly.

In fact, most established stars are too lazy to bother with rookies. Because even the No. 1 pick is weak in front of many famous stars. Of course, O'Neal, Duncan and James don't count.

Even Griffin, in Randolph's view, is actually not that strong. That guy lacks offensive means, has the basics but is not proficient. As long as he doesn't get up and get the ball comfortably, Griffin's offense is basically blinded.

However, Randolph's brain circuit has always been different from others, let alone competing with the opponent's rookie, he and Link, a rookie of his own, are competing.

Don't forget the last time Link put popcorn in Randolph's locker, but Randolph was stunned that Link bought a car just to get revenge by stuffing popcorn in Link's car...

So, ah, Griffin really encountered a tough stubble today. That "reasonable" guy would really treat rookies the way he treated Duncan.

The Clippers attacked in the second round. The players of the Clippers have just experienced the strangling defense of the Grizzlies. They also know that even a small mistake in the game with the Grizzlies may be counterattacked. Therefore, Mo Williams was much more cautious this time.

He called Griffin over to cover himself, and this time, the Clippers wanted to play the pick-and-roll!

Randolph kept close behind Griffin, lest Griffin suddenly cut in. Conley continued to lead Xiao Mo to the right, until Link was double-teamed, Xiao Mo realized that he had fallen into a defensive trap!

Using the strength of his teammates to complete the defense, pulling the opponent into the defensive trap and limiting it is a characteristic of Conley on the defensive end.

Conley is a very clear-minded player who knows exactly what to do in every moment on the court. On the offensive end, he can sort out the offense, and on the defensive end, he can also arrange the matchup clearly.

After being double-teamed, Mo Williams couldn't pass the ball to Griffin who was cut in at the first time, and the Clippers' tactics were completely destroyed. The Clippers in this period did not have Rivers or Paul, so the tactical training was actually very general.

In desperation, Xiao Mo had to give the ball to Ryan Gomez, who was emptied by Link. But Link quickly rushed back to Gomez, switching defenses so fast that he didn't give Gomez the slightest chance at all!

Ryan Gomez was once thought to be a successful second-round pick. His college career was actually extremely brilliant, but because of his "no three no four" positioning, he was not picked by the Celtics until the second round. Down.

However, after entering the league, Gomez quickly showed his talent,

He quickly adapted to the transition from the 4 to the 3 and learned a lot from the team's big brother, Paul Pierce.

In the second season of his career, Gomez averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, which is a very good result for a second-round pick.

It's a pity that, because it was hinted in an interview that the Celtics were deliberately rotten, Gomez, a guy who didn't speak his mind, was used by Ainge as one of the chips to exchange for Garnett.

After leaving the Celtics, Gomez started a wandering career, and the speed of progress has gradually slowed down. Until he wandered to the Clippers this year, he directly turned into negative growth. His scoring average, rebounding average and field goal percentage have all fallen to career lows this season.

Every day Gomez fantasizes about returning to the glory of his Celtics days, so his mind is full of slapstick operations. This time, he saw Link hurriedly make up for it, and his footing was not stable, so he directly broke through with the ball, hoping to seize the opportunity to score!

But Gomez is a little blindly confident in his speed. The biggest disadvantage of a player like him playing the 3 position is that the speed is not fast enough. Gomez lacks explosiveness, and his first step is really not good at the NBA-level 3.

Link reacted quickly and took a step laterally, blocking Gomez's path.

Once again, the Clippers' offensive attempt was blocked by the Grizzlies' defense!

Mo Williams, Randy Foye, Gomez and Griffin were all guarded, and the Grizzlies' defense seemed too strong for the Clippers!

What? you mean little jordan? Come on, that guy doesn't have any scoring means other than dunking empty baskets. Originally, Jordan should have been a lottery pick, but because his skills were too hot during the trial training, he fell into the second round.

The Clippers' offense was at a standstill, and whoever of them stood up had no way to score! Just when Gomez was hesitating who to pass the ball to, Link started.

Gomez, who was not paying attention to protecting the ball, was easily stolen by Link, and the Clippers made the second consecutive mistake!

"The Clippers' offense is completely unsystematic. They can't kill the Grizzlies by fighting alone!" Kevin Harlan patted his leg in annoyance, as if disappointed with the Clippers' performance.

But Hubie Brin is not surprised. These two teams are not at the same level in terms of cultivation and strength. It's just that the outside world looks too high on the Clippers and looks too low on the Grizzlies, which will create the illusion that "the two teams are evenly matched".

Link personally pushed the ball forward. After all, he was the Grizzlies' second playmaker besides Conley. Link's relationship with Conley now is a bit like Hill and Nash back then.

Link beckoned to Randolph outside the three-point line, and the big black bear immediately ran over to cover. If you put the time back two or three years, one would not believe that Randolph would have honestly set up cover for a road option.

But Memphis is such a magical place.

After Randolph was in place, Link made a breakthrough with the ball himself. Although Gomez's attitude is positive enough, his defensive skills are still average. He was solidly blocked by Randolph, and Griffin had to make up for Link in front of him.

The dislocation defense was formed, and the cheers at the scene instantly became high!

"Come on, the matchup between Link and Blake Griffin!" Kevin Harlan was excited. I believe that many fans who are following this game are as excited as him.

The air seemed to become tense, and Link could clearly feel that the atmosphere had become more subtle. Griffin stretched out his arms in front of Link, and his strength made Link look like a bunny next to a griffin.

This huge size gap made everyone think that Link must be very nervous. But in fact, Link's heart was calm.

Griffin's defense in his rookie season was far from good, and his defensive problems were somewhat overshadowed by the presence of Jordan.

But pulling him out to play would be the last piece of Griffin's fig leaf on the defensive end.

Link began to alternately dribble the ball with his left and right hands calmly, and he was extremely calm in the face of the brutal champion. Griffin was afraid of Link breaking through, so he let him go a step further. Everyone may not believe it, but it is Griffin who is nervous now.

Link suddenly took a breakthrough gesture, as if he was about to accelerate! Griffin was so frightened that he immediately retreated, but the next second, Link suddenly turned into a shot and jumped straight away!

Seeing this, Griffin immediately took a big step and sealed it up, and being played by Link really made him very unwilling!

But after Griffin was sealed, something more embarrassing happened. His hands couldn't touch the basketball at all, and he couldn't even cover Link's sight.

Kevin Harlan on the commentary stage opened his mouth, and after Link shot, he said, "Okay... so short, his arms are so short, there is no way to cover such a long distance. ."

During the pre-game warm-up, Griffin stomped on the Grizzlies' sore foot with a dunk. But now, Link used a shot with a sudden change of rhythm to severely slander Griffin's pain point.

Reciprocity is a virtue.

Almost undisturbed, Link's mid-range jumper hits steadily. Griffin's little short hand...it's hard to describe. As a No. 4, Griffin's wingspan is 7 cm shorter than Link's, which is really not enough in the NBA.

At 4-0, Link scored the Grizzlies' first 4 points and disrupted the Clippers' offense with two consecutive steals. He and Griffin's singles, fans are talking about.

Griffin gritted his teeth, he had to stop that undrafted momentum!

But for the Clippers, this was just the beginning of a nightmare.
