Five Hundred and Fifty-Four: I'm in a Hurry

Link flew Paul and successfully scored a layup in the showdown with Griffin. This scene allowed the Grizzlies to regain their domineering as the league's No. 1 player.

It is said that the playoffs are the stage where a player is judged. Some "superstars" in the regular season may not be able to do anything in the playoffs.

Before, people also had such doubts about Link. But it turns out that Link can lead his team to 70 wins in the regular season and be invincible in the playoffs.

Link's timely goal helped the Grizzlies stabilize the situation. Although still 5 points behind, but behind 5 points and behind double digits, the Grizzlies players are quite different mentally.

Paul was completely irritated this time. Although Paul likes to attack others with trash talk, he is actually a player who is extremely easily irritated by trash talk.

So much so that even a guard as calm as him actually became irritable.

Then the Clippers offense, everyone except Paul, played very tired.

Imagine that you followed the instructions of the team commander, ran three or four tactics, and ran several laps around this half. As a result, you ran out of breath, and the ball didn't reach you, but was thrown by the point guard himself.

Even if the point guard is Chris Paul, it's very annoying.

Now, the Clippers are in such a state.

Paul, on the one hand, wants to build the offense, but on the other hand, he is not as patient as he was in the first half.

Coupled with the fact that the Grizzlies are now implementing a strict man-to-man defense, the Clippers are even more difficult to get a chance. If you want to play the kind of smooth attack in the first half, you will undoubtedly need more patience.

But all of this is very different from Paul's state at this time. He didn't have the heart to wait for the opportunity to appear at all, he just wanted to use the fastest speed to give Link a counterattack!

However, the more anxious you are, the less advantage you have on the Grizzlies' defense.

Paul's impatient break through, trapped him in a defensive trap set by Conley.

When Paul thought he easily broke through to the basket, he faced the double block of Conley and Gasol Jr.

Crawford thought that Paul was going to break the ball, so he ran desperately, and ran desperately. I ran out of breath, but saw Paul on the defense of two people, it was really sad.

"Chris is in a hurry. I don't know what Link just said to Paul, but it's definitely not a good thing!" Barkley smiled, and he liked Link.

If Link is a good gentleman, it is estimated that he will not be so popular.

Randolph took the rebound, and in the third quarter, the Clippers seemed to have become a pirate ship. I thought I had reached the top, but I didn't expect it to suddenly fall!

What's more terrible is that after falling to the lowest point, it is still stuck, and it is unknown whether it will be able to rise again.

Conley, Link and Iguodala frantically rushed forward, hoping to strike a counterattack. But helplessly, the Clippers' retreat was not slow. Although their offense is messed up, their defense is not yet messed up.

But what is surprising is that Paul Randolph accidentally stepped on his shoe in the process of retreating. Paul didn't care too much, he picked up his shoes and ran. At the same time, Link just received the basketball, ready to break through Barnes.

Paul looked at the basketball and threw the shoe out of his hand!

"What is Chris doing?" T.N.T is more stupid than the trio, even these three old fritters have never seen such an operation!

The next second, the basketball hit the ball with precision. Link didn't realize what was going on. He thought that someone would double-team and steal him. But when he turned his head, there was nothing.

Just when Link was stunned, the referee's whistle saved him.

There is no doubt that Paul's actions landed him a foul.

"What the hell!? What kind of trick is this?" Barkley and O'Neal laughed together and used their shoes to steal the ball. Paul is such a goddamn talent!

After Link looked up at the replay, he realized what happened. He thought he had seen a ghost, but he didn't expect the shoes to come flying.

On the surface, Paul's move seems funny. But Link didn't laugh. He knew very well that Paul was in a hurry now!

As a result, the defensive end has to work harder! The more anxious Paul was, the more upset he became!

The Grizzlies re-issued the sideline ball, and Paul put on his shoes honestly, swearing in his mouth.

Although there was such an episode, it still failed to prevent the Grizzlies from scoring.

After Link broke into the restricted area, he attracted Jordan to help defend, but Link secretly distributed the ball to Gasol while staring at the basket.

Gasol took a big step in, raised his long arm, and easily dunked.

Jordan was also very angry when he watched Gasol dunk beside him.

The Clippers' mentality is getting worse and worse!

With just 3 points left, it's only a matter of time before the Grizzlies want to tie the game. Now, Link is thinking about how to win!

However, Paul's individual offense did well today. Even if he was forced to play singles, Paul was still able to score goals efficiently.

But Link is also as he promised, Paul gets one, he returns one! Even if Paul doesn't score, Link can continue to score!

Under such circumstances, the Grizzlies finally tied the point difference in the fifth minute of the third quarter! After the third quarter, the Clippers went from a 10-point lead at the beginning to a 6-point deficit!

After all, the Grizzlies beat the Clippers 16-0 in the third quarter!

"Link and Paul's offense was amazing! Both sides performed very well, but it turned out that Link temporarily suppressed Paul in the third quarter! Paul has scored 30 points after the third quarter! For Paul, this kind of High-scoring games are rare!" After three quarters, Kenny Smith couldn't get enough of it.

So far in Paul's career, the highest score in a single game is "just" 43 points. And this record is precisely what Paul got when he played against the Grizzlies.

Paul's style of play is doomed that his scoring data will not be so explosive. But today, Paul is likely to score 40 points in a single game again!

"Paul scored 30 points, which is both for the Clippers to be grateful for and for the Clippers to worry about." Beside Kenny Smith, Barkley was much calmer.

"Worried?"

"Yes, when Chris Paul has to score high points, it means that something is wrong with his team!"

Barkley answered unequivocally, Paul scored 43 points in 2007, the Hornets only beat the Grizzlies by 2 points...

After the start of the fourth quarter, Paul temporarily rested and was replaced by Bledsoe. It seems that the next time DeNagro brings Paul up, he doesn't plan to let him down again.

Coincidentally, Link was also pressed on the bench on the Grizzlies side. The fourth quarter is the most critical one, the one that decides the outcome. Therefore, the Grizzlies will not allow any mistakes.

Putting Link at the end is undoubtedly the safest.

Both teams are ready to fight to the last minute!

"Chris, calm down! I know you want to kill that yellow kid, but as long as we can win the game, he won't be able to jump up! Keep calm, okay? Bring your teammates to score together, don't get caught Fighting alone!"

On the Clippers bench, Denagro was trying to keep Paul calm.

On the Grizzlies bench, Link looked up and studied the game time.

"What are you doing? In a hurry to get off work?" Tony Allen joked.

"No, I'm looking at Paul's playing time. Paul is averaging 33.4 minutes per game this season, but he's already played 32 minutes before he comes off the court! Chris will definitely be quite tired after a while." Link finished , start getting enough rest.

Before, he and Paul could be said to be on the same level, and he only had the upper hand. Paul was really good today. He scored 30 points in three quarters. Many players might not even score 30 points in a single season. However, Paul, who has never relied on scoring to attract people's attention, has easily obtained this data. He can really score if he wants to.

But then, the scale of victory will start to tilt!

Moreover, Link believes that it must be leaning towards himself!

Paul can't stand it by playing so much longer than usual at such a high intensity!

In the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, finally, Chris Paul replaced Bledsoe.

Link also reappeared, replacing Jimmy Butler.

Paul and Link stood up at the same time and stepped onto the court at the same time.

Although the last round of the game, the Clippers came back from a 0-2 deficit. But Paul knew very well that this kind of thing didn't happen all the time. If it's 2-0 by the Grizzlies...the situation is pretty dangerous.

In any case, must return to Los Angeles with a victory!

So the last 8-minute confrontation between Link and Paul is equivalent to setting the tone for the ending of a whole series of games!

Paul tried his best to adjust his mentality. He told himself to settle down and calm down.

Then, he saw that Link was actually hooking his fingers at himself! With a playful smile on his face!

The T.N.T trio also saw Link's actions, and they all had to admire Link's courage.

This Nima is too crazy!

But then again, Paul played so well today, he still didn't have the advantage...

That guy Link is really strong, he does have arrogant capital

But Paul doesn't think so, he has only one idea right now.

"I must kill him!" The league's first point guard told himself in his heart.
