Three Hundred and Seventy-Five: This Ball Is Impossible to Catch...

Staples Center, Link is not the first time to play here. In the past two seasons in this Los Angeles basketball mecca, Link and the Grizzlies have lost more than they lost.

Coupled with the fact that Link stole the All-Star starting position of Los Angeles darling Blake Griffin last season, Los Angeles fans are even more hostile to Link.

So in Los Angeles, at Staples, Link is a blacklist figure. Today is the opening game of the new season, and the fans in Los Angeles are very enthusiastic. The cheers here are enough to cheer people up before the game starts.

If you can witness Link defeating Staples, this expensive ticket will be worth it!

DeAndre Jordan stands in front of Gasol Jr., eager to try. People only remember that Link took away Griffin's overall starting position last year, but few people will remember that Gasol also took away Jordan's All-Star seat.

The two sides played against each other last season, and Jordan temporarily fell behind. In the first game of the season, DeAndre Jordan naturally hopes to avenge his shame.

He thinks he has improved a lot this season, with more flexible offensive moves and more mature defensive positions. It is not a problem to beat Gasol Jr.

"Your defeat in the Olympics will carry over to the NBA, I promise you." After the two sides stepped into the middle circle, Jordan immediately spat trash on Gasol.

This season, Gasol looks a lot more capable, because he cut his once long hair and shaved his beard. Therefore, Jordan can clearly see the playful smile on Gasol's face.

"At least, I can go to the Olympics, but you can't be selected for the national team at all."

"Fuck!" Little Jordan was sent to the army again. He gritted his teeth and decided to use practical actions to defeat the Spaniards!

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides can be seen from the two center forwards. Standing in his own half, Link can feel Griffin's scorching gaze. And Paul, the "captain", naturally hopes to win the first victory for the team. Therefore, the fighting spirit is also very high.

Before the fight started, Link felt the surrounding heat was heating up.

Finally, the referee whistled and threw the basketball into the air. DeAndre Jordan used his greater athletic ability to get the ball into Paul's hands, and the game officially began!

The entire Staples is shaking, and everyone hopes that the Clippers can have a good start at home. They believe that a further Griffin and Jordan, a more seasoned Paul and a new addition to the team, Crawford, can make the Clippers undergo earth-shaking changes.

Stevens stood on the sidelines with fists clenched, his first round in charge of an NBA team, and so began.

Link followed Butler, and Iguodala stuck to Willie Green. The Clippers' second and third positions basically have no independent offensive ability. The Clippers' tactics rely on Paul and two insiders to play pick-and-rolls.

Jordan put up a screen and Paul took the opportunity to break through. However, after Paul made a breakthrough, he realized that Gasol didn't follow at all, and just waited for Paul under the basket!

Little Jordan? If you're willing to let him hit the mid-range, Gasol won't mind.

Seeing this situation, Paul went straight to the basket, but Gasol's defense was very good, neither fouled, but also covered Paul's sight.

Paul is one of the toughest players in the league to block, but a defense doesn't have to block to be successful. As long as you can prevent the opponent from scoring, it is a good defense.

Under Gasol's excellent defense, Paul made a layup. The first attack that the Los Angeles fans were looking forward to ended in such a regrettable way!

Randolph crossed a file, stuck Griffin, and received the rebound. Griffin can clearly see that the muscle lines on Randolph's arm this season are very obvious! Moreover, the speed of lateral movement seems to have returned to the peak level!

What a monster! ? Like Duncan to come to the second spring?

"Nice defense! Marc Gasol has become more and more stable on the defensive end. He is very smart and has a height advantage. I'm afraid the Clippers are not a good choice to attack the basket." Mike Breen gently encouraged With the palms up, people are worried that Stevens will make the Grizzlies' impenetrable defensive system disappear.

But it turns out that the Grizzlies' defensive quality has risen instead of falling.

The Clippers failed in their first attack, which made John Hollinger's face very ugly. The Clippers' offense is too single, or the Grizzlies' flank defense is too strong!

The defensive chain formed by Link and Iguodala made the Clippers' Butler and Green almost spectators. In this way, Paul can only choose to play pick-and-roll with two insiders. And Stevens must have formulated countless ways to deal with the Clippers pick-and-roll.

Hollinger couldn't help but feel a little nervous, the Clippers must work harder.

However, before Hollinger's breath came up, the Grizzlies scored first.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Conley played a solid positional battle. Last season, due to the surge in Link's offensive ability, the Grizzlies liked to throw away the black and white bears and fight back quickly.

But after Stevens settled in the Grizzlies, the appearance of such behavior was explicitly prohibited.

"Unless I change the lineup or the opponent's retreat is too late, otherwise, the offensive end will resolutely fall into position!"

It now appears that what Stevens told the players, they listened.

If the black and white bears follow suit, their physical strength will soon be exhausted. The decline in physical strength has a huge impact on the defense and offense of the Bears.

Instead of rushing to the basket blindly, it is better to fall into the position and play slowly. This will not only prevent the black and white bears from turning back and running, but also drag the game into the rhythm of the Grizzlies as much as possible.

After falling into position, Conley handed the ball to Link who came out without the ball. Facing Caron Butler's defense, Link directly changed direction and passed him cleanly!

Last season Link faced Butler, although he could score high, but it was not easy to get rid of him.

But now, Link is faster, and Butler's lateral movement is slower, as Stevens said. Therefore, it is a breeze for Link to break through the defense.

After Link broke through, Willie Green immediately double-teamed him. Green is also a veteran who has played in the league for the tenth season. His role in the Clippers is very simple, that is, to shoot three-pointers and defend. Use his seasoned experience and strong body to enhance the stability of the Clippers' perimeter defense.

The Clippers' double-teaming was very decisive, and it can be seen that it was deliberately arranged by the head coach. According to the Grizzlies lineup last season, Tony Allen has no shooting ability, so the second position can double-team Link without thinking.

It's a pity that the second position of the Grizzlies is not Mr. Tony, but Andre Iguodala, who was able to shoot 39.4% of the three-pointers in Philadelphia last season!

"After being double-teamed, Link calmly passed the ball to Iguodala. He shot directly from outside the three-point line. This is the first ball Iguodala threw on behalf of the Grizzlies. Can he make it? !?"

As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, the Nets were covered in white waves. Iguodala happily compared three fingers, and he knew that playing in Memphis would be very interesting!

Indeed, Iguodala is not a scorer, nor is he a pure shooter. But if you dare to let him go completely, he will punish you very hard!

Link pointed to Iguodala and gave him a high five. Iguodala is the most important signing of the Grizzlies this summer. When the trade happened, most people said that the Grizzlies traded Gay to kill themselves. Desert played tricks even more.

But Iguodala slapped the media in just one round.

He is extremely suitable for Link, he is simply the perfect green leaf beside Link. Link's assist kicked off the season for the Grizzlies and a good start for a strong combination.

A three-pointer cut the cheers in the Staples Center by half.

Of course, it also made Hollinger's face paler.

The Clippers attacked for the second time. This time, they didn't play the pick-and-roll. Paul pulled away after halftime and passed the ball to Griffin who wanted the ball in the middle distance for a single.

Griffin faced Randolph in the middle distance, full of confidence. The Clippers fans shouted desperately, they all wanted to see how far Griffin had grown!

It is said that the insiders who averaged 20+10 data per game in their rookie season are all at the Hall of Fame level. Guys like O'Neal and Duncan were already MVP candidates in the third grade. Clippers fans naturally expect that Griffin can also follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Griffin made a few tentative steps in the middle distance with the ball, and then suddenly accelerated to break through! This summer, Griffin worked hard on his mid-range shots and dribbling in order to get rid of the label of "only dunking".

Randolph, on the other hand, is simply a perfect tester. After all, judging from last season's performance, Randolph's lateral movement speed is too slow, and Griffin thinks he can easily break through him.

But things backfired, Griffin just rushed out a step, and was blocked by Randolph! The big black bear's lateral movement speed was not slow, and it clamped down on Griffin almost immediately!

This fat man is in great shape this year!

"Damn it!" Griffin gritted his teeth and forced a layup against Randolph.

At this moment, Gasol Jr. appeared under the basket just right, jumping up to block. His defensive timing was so timely that he didn't give Griffin any chance at all.

Griffin missed a layup under the defense of the black and white bears. An insider at the MVP level? Come on, Griffin is far from it!

After Gasol jumped up to block Griffin, he immediately jumped up and grabbed the rebound for the second time. Conley held the ball to suppress the rhythm, and the Grizzlies continued to play!

"The rhythm of the Grizzlies is much more stable than last season. I don't know if this is the arrangement of Coach Stevens. If so, then his control over the court is really strong." Continued by Mike Breen Afterwards, Kevin Harlan also said good things about the Grizzlies.

Hollinger, who was caught in the middle, expressed his desire to quit the group chat.

Conley slowly waited for his teammates to get in position outside the three-point line, and the whole rhythm was slowed down.

Gasol pops out and looks like he's about to catch the ball at midrange. Jordan posted it immediately, and Gasol couldn't let go of his shot. Although he refused to admit defeat, Jordan still knew Gasol's strength.

At this moment, Conley, who was originally slow, suddenly threw the ball into the air!

Paul turned his head immediately, he could see that this angle was an alley-oop pass!

But with the current lineup of the Grizzlies, except for Iguodala, no one should be able to play this kind of ball! And now, Iguodala is standing outside the three-point line, so who is this alley-oop pass for?

Everyone had such doubts in their hearts, so they saw a No. 0 wearing Kobe's sixth-generation Link special edition sneakers jumping into the penalty area and leaping high!

Since Jordan was pulled out by Gasol, the basket was left unattended for the time being. Conley seized the opportunity and passed such an alley-oop!

But Paul laughed jokingly. The idea of ​​the ball was indeed good, but the pass was too high, and it was impossible for Link to catch it. In the previous two seasons, Link could only catch layups even if he played alleys. After all, he's only so athletic.

And now at this pass height, unless he dunks, it is impossible to catch it!

As time went by, the smile on Paul's face gradually solidified.

I saw Link holding the basketball with one hand in the air, and then swung his arm vigorously!

"Boom!" The basketball hoop swayed, and there was no sound in the Staples Center.

Link ended the offense with an explosive alley-oop dunk!

"This..." Mike Brin wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make a sound.

He was so surprised!

Link landed and glanced at Grant Hill, who was on the Clippers' bench.

How about it? Does it have the style you had back then?

In the 2004-05 season, Grant Hill had steel nails in his feet. However, this still couldn't stop him from soaring in the air.

Now, it's a surprise that Link has been replaced.

5 to 0, the Clippers fell into crisis as soon as the game started.
