Five Hundred and Forty-Five: Warm Welcome From Old Friends

Little Jordan was so angry that it was his performance moment, but Link was abruptly stole the limelight.

Inexplicably, it became Link's background board. If Paul hadn't comforted him in time, it is estimated that Jordan would have had a mental explosion before the game started.

Paul really convinced Link. At that distance, even though he was unguarded, he still couldn't make a 100% shot if he wanted to. If it was Paul himself, he probably wouldn't dare to play like that.

It would be a shame to miss that shot.

However, Link is so bold. He just dared to stand there holding the ball and bet $100,000.

There are many stars in the league, but this kind of domineering, not everyone has...

Paul began to have some lingering fears, and the confidence he had built up in the last round was a little shaken.

But Paul still told himself that a warm-up is a warm-up and a game is a game. Link can do amazing things when he's warming up, but he's not necessarily in good shape during the game.

The Clippers fought desperately to get out of the Nuggets, not to serve as a foil for the Grizzlies!

In the stands, the fans still talked about what happened just now during the warm-up, and on the commentary stage, the trio of T.NT amused also talked about what happened just now from time to time.

"Link's domination of the FedEx Arena is unshakable. Even if it's just a warm-up, he doesn't allow anyone to go wild. This kind of player is usually very scary! In their eyes, the home court is not to be offended." Barkley looked serious, Although it was only an episode during the warm-up, he could see the desire to win in the heart of No. 0.

Warming up alone is not enough. Charles Barkley can't wait to see how Link makes Jordan misfire in the official game.

Finally, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee urged both sides to start preparations, and the game started immediately.

Link stood near the midfield line and pressed his legs. Beside him was Matt Barnes, who had just scored a rebound in the last game.

When Jordan stepped into the middle circle, he glanced at Link, his eyes were naturally not very friendly, but Link said angrily, "Be optimistic about basketball, otherwise the ball will be scrambled away, don't say that you didn't see clearly."

Matt Barnes on the side turned his head to stare at Link, but he didn't expect that Link would immediately turn his head to look at him.

"Look at what? Have an opinion?" Link pointed at Barnes with his chin.

Little Jordan thought to himself, Link is screwed. In the entire league, few people dare to talk to Barnes like that. Barnes is similar to the Pacers' Stephenson, if you are a teammate, you will love him. If it is an opponent, you will absolutely hate him, because he is never soft on opponents.

However, to Jordan's surprise, Barnes didn't say a word in the face of Link's provocation!

Of course he didn't know how badly Barnes was cleaned up in that 68-win battle. To be precise, when Barnes was still playing for the Lakers two years ago, he was so angry that he bleeds from Link's trash talk.

Barnes decided to endure a wave first, and then score on the court. And Jordan, who lost his "asylum", didn't pester Link anymore. He was already embarrassed enough today.

In this way, the Clippers were temporarily stunned. With just one sentence, Link made both Barnes and Jordan bow their heads obediently.

A third grader, at FedEx Arena, has established a prestige of supremacy.

The referee stood in the middle circle, Jordan and Gasol bent their knees and prepared to take off. Paul moved his arms, constantly reminding himself how easy it was for the Clippers to get to this point. Can't give up, must not give up!

The basketball jumped into the air, and the arms of Pau Gasol and Jordan intertwined. In the end, Jordan was the first to call basketball, and the Clippers took the lead!

Paul sighed and watched Jordan being shown by Link during the warm-up. As the leader of the Clippers, Paul naturally wanted to stand up for Jordan.

So in this first attack, Paul showed a very strong aggressiveness. Although he handed the ball over to Billups, who was playing at the second position, after halftime,

But after the ball, Paul's footsteps still did not stop.

Although Billups played at the No. 2 position for the Clippers, he was actually an FMVP-level playmaker. With him around, Paul can temporarily put the offense aside and focus on scoring!

The Clippers' dual point guard lineup can be said to be luxurious enough to make people drool.

Paul just ran out of the gap, Billups' pass was sent! The cooperation of these two people is very tacit, and their thoughts are highly unified.

After Paul received the ball, he accelerated to the left, and after Conley moved, Paul turned to the right.

Of course, Paul knew Conley wasn't that easy to mess with. Before accelerating, Paul also took the initiative to lean on Conley. After taking away Conley, Paul just "shifted" to speed up!

"Chris Paul successfully broke through Mike Conley, and the showdown between these two top point guards in the league is a delight to watch!"

As soon as O'Neal's words fell, Paul, who broke through, threw the ball to the basket in the face of Gasol.

Everyone thought it was a throw, and it wasn't until Jordan's "Roshan" rose up behind Gasol that people realized that it was an alley-oop!

I saw the basketball crossed Pau Gasol's fingertips and fell behind him. And Jordan, who was temporarily released by Gasol, received the basketball with both hands and completed the heavy dunk easily!

At the beginning of the game, Jordan responded to Link with a dunk! And unlike the performance just now, this is a dunk in actual combat!

"Beautiful goals, this is the charm of Alley City! There is nothing wrong with Gasol's defense, and his choice to make up defense is the right decision. In fact, Gasol has also blocked Paul's passing route to the center. .But no way, Paul and Jordan's passing routes are in the sky!"

Little Jordan was cool, and after landing, he screamed in the sky. He said that Gasol is the best defensive player in history, and it is not difficult to score on Gasol's head!

The dunks at the start of the game kept the Clippers' morale rising. Paul had a faint smile on his face, and it seemed that it was not as difficult as he imagined to score points on the Grizzlies.

"Don't worry, we'll be back sooner or later. Don't panic, we'll continue to play steadily."

Link picked up the basketball on the ground and handed it to Gasol Jr. who was in charge of sending the baseline ball. By the way, I also said some words of encouragement to Gasol.

Gasol nodded, he was not panic. In this league full of birds and animals, it is not the first time Gasol has been shown his athletic ability by others. But not once did those dancers beat him!

The Clippers' improved morale was immediately reflected on defense.

All the Clippers defended very hard, and Link could clearly feel the anger in the hearts of the Clippers players.

Barnes is no exception. When he was just attacked by Link, although he didn't speak, he was definitely angry.

Now, all this anger has been vented by Barnes with small gestures.

Grabbing the jersey, pulling the arm, these are all pediatrics. Barnes even gave Link a dark elbow when he was stuck, and Link felt his chest tight for a few seconds before he recovered.

In the case that Link couldn't catch the ball, Conley's mid-range shot unfortunately hit the black. Link knew that Conley would have a hard time. After all, Paul was a real "wicked man".

In the opening attack and defense, the Clippers succeeded! Now they firmly believe that they are really progressing! After the baptism of the last round, they are not the Los Angeles Clippers that were ravaged by the Grizzlies during the regular season.

The Clippers continued to attack, and this time, Paul restrained a lot. He started to try to stop the offense at a leisurely pace, started to try to control the rhythm!

"He's really a daring guy. He actually tried to lead the Grizzlies by the nose at the FedEx Arena." Barkley admires Paul. Paul dared to try, either because the Clippers are really strong today, or because Paul is crazy ! In either case, Barkley would take it.

Paul pretended to break through, in fact, the real attack point in Barnes!

Barnes gave Link a shove, then quickly ran towards the bottom left corner.

Although he was pushed away by Barnes, Link quickly reacted and prepared to chase and defend.

However, in the next second, the hard and black Jordan was in front of Link, without the ball to cover!

Little Jordan didn't give Link any good fruit to eat. When he came into contact with Link, he secretly exerted his upper body, which was equivalent to hitting Link directly. It's just that the shoulder-sinking action is not so obvious, so the referee didn't see it.

Jordan's upper body strength is terrible. Although Jordan's technique is rough, he is indeed a player with amazing physical fitness. After being hit by Jordan, Link was directly overturned to the ground!

In the end, Link could only see on the floor that Barnes received Paul's breakaway ball, and then made an open three-pointer.

In the last game, Barnes made 6 of 7 three-pointers and scored 30 points, killing the Nuggets directly. Today, Barnes' fiery touch remains the same.

The arc of basketball is uneven, just right. In the end, a "splash" exploded in the Grizzlies' restricted area.

Barnes raised his right hand high and stared viciously at Link lying on the ground, as if to announce that he had won.

"The confrontation between the two sides was very fierce, and the game was overturned at the beginning. The Clippers were 5-0, and this start was really unexpected." Kenny Smith is very optimistic about the Clippers, and the Clippers' tenacity in the first round left him behind. impressed.

Conley and Iguodala ran up and lifted Linkra up. Link was also a little helpless. He was warmly welcomed by the Clippers' "old friends" at the beginning of the game.

Link couldn't help thinking, is it because he is too exciting to them?

No, Link didn't even have the ball in this game!

The real excitement hasn't come yet, I'm afraid the Clippers can't stand it!

In the next round, Conley was stole by Paul before he could pass the ball. Taking advantage of this fast break opportunity, Paul assisted Griffin with one-handed dunks, and the Clippers scored three consecutive cities!

So far, the Clippers beat the Grizzlies to a 7-0 start!

Jordan actively rushed up to touch Griffin's chest, what the best defensive player, what a rising superstar, are all bluffing! The end of the Memphis Grizzlies is here!

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies were the first to call a timeout. Link walked off the court with his hips on his back, a little impatient.

I haven't touched the ball at all, you guys are anxious and happy with a hammer!
