Five Hundred and Fifty-Six: Zero to Two Is Enough

Paul imagined countless endings of this game in his mind, and in most of the endings, the Clippers won the game.

Of course, Paul is not without thinking about failure. In basketball games, there are only two possibilities besides losing. When you step onto the court, you have to be prepared for both possibilities.

But among the many endings that Paul fantasized about, there was no scene that just happened.

He didn't expect that Link would eventually kill the game in such a way.

In the position he lost to himself yesterday, he completely killed himself!

"Great Link! He finished off Chris Paul with a long 3-pointer! He had the last laugh, the Memphis Grizzlies had the last laugh! With 23 seconds left, the Los Angeles Clippers had the last laugh. 8 points behind, they have no chance! They have to go back to Los Angeles with a score of 0-2!" Barkley couldn't help shouting, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

The anxious game is exciting, but it is undoubtedly even more exciting if the anxious game can be decided by a one-hit key shot!

Barkley and Kenny Smith have been waiting for this offense since the start of the game. Finally, 23 seconds before the end of the game, the picture they had been waiting for finally appeared!

"Link is a natural cold-blooded killer. He was born to win! At critical moments, Link is almost never soft! He knows very well what kind of responsibilities he bears! Such responsibilities did not overwhelm him, Instead, let him fight more and more bravely!"

Griffin froze in place, he still can't believe what just happened. Shot from such a long distance, but still got in?

Little Jordan covered his head with his hands, and in the end, he still lost to his most hated opponent. In order to win the game, Jordan even prepared several speeches mocking Link.

But now, those carefully prepared words can only rot in Jordan's own stomach.

Barnes was very frustrated. For the first time in his career, he felt hopeless in front of a player.

As the famous "star killer," Barnes' job is to contain the opponent's number one as much as possible.

But look now, Link has 38 points and a game-killing 3-pointer. If you can limit Link's score to 40 or less to win, then Barnes has indeed won.

But unfortunately, Barnes set himself not so low standards. He lost, and he lost utterly.

The one who was hit the hardest on the scene was Paul. When he missed a key shot, he told himself that there was still a turnaround.

But when Link came over and made a key shot, all the good fantasies in Paul's mind were shattered.

There was no turnaround, no miracle, and no turning point. This is competitive sports, hot-blooded, rough, unpredictable, but also extremely cruel.

When Link stood in the position where he missed yesterday's shot and made a "wipe his neck" at Paul, Paul had a feeling that he was really killed.

That guy is so cruel!

There are still 20 seconds left in the game, and the Clippers players have to insist on playing these more than 20 seconds when their mentality is completely broken, which is really miserable.

Although De Nagro used his last timeout, although in theory, the Clippers still have hope of winning.

But everyone knows that the Clippers are just doing a routine. It is estimated that even they themselves do not think that they can turn defeat into victory.

After returning from the timeout, the Grizzlies have replaced the bench. Except for the black and white bears, everyone else has returned to the bench to start and celebrate the victory for them.

The reason why the Grizzlies want to keep the black and white bears on the court is because their free throws are good. Even if he is fouled, he will not be caught by the Clippers.

The last 20 seconds of the game finally came to the end with the continuous whistle.

Although the Clippers used foul tactics to gain time and the ball, although the Grizzlies also missed a penalty in the last 20 seconds. But the heartless Clippers failed to score enough goals themselves.

A mere 20 seconds is too limited.

After 20 seconds, the Clippers were relieved. The Grizzlies have the second victory of the series in their hands!

2 to 0! The Memphis Grizzlies are going to go to Los Angeles with an absolute advantage!

"Although Chris Paul was defeated, he had 4 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. He did his best. In order to win the game, he did everything he could, but..."

Excited, Kenny Smith began to feel sorry for the losers.

"This is the NBA, this is the playoffs. There are a lot of good players, but there is only one winner. Let's wish Chris and hope that he and his teammates can cheer up in Los Angeles."

Paul became a tragic hero. In the case of a poor performance in the last game, Paul showed enough results to justify his name.

But it turns out that Link is not at all disadvantaged against Paul, who is full of firepower!

Now Link has reached the point where he can compete with the opponent's superstars without falling behind.

Just thinking about it makes Paul feel hopeless.

The most terrible thing is not losing, but you try your best, use all your life's learning and all the determination, but still can't do it.

This is the most shocking.

In the basketball world, try your best, and you may not succeed.

Paul walked back to the tunnel in a dejected manner, refusing all interviews with reporters. A sense of powerlessness spread all over Paul's body, making him not even dare to raise his head to look at other people's eyes.

Once again, the Clippers ended up down 0-2.

Against the Nuggets, the Clippers can also turn corruption into magic, and successfully advanced in four consecutive games.

But against the Grizzlies... The Grizzlies often do miracles, but they are very reluctant to see their opponents do miracles too.

Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the Los Angeles Clippers have fallen off a cliff and are now hanging on one hand.

But the Grizzlies won't have pity, they won't pull the Clipper up the cliff, they will only step on the hand that is still holding the cliff again and again, until the Clipper falls into the abyss and shatters!

"No!" Thinking of this, Paul couldn't help but punched the wall beside him.

This suddenness startled the others around him. The Clippers doctor hurried up to check Paul's finger. If Paul was injured because of this, you really lost more than the gain.

Not far behind Paul, Clippers coach Vinnie Denagro shook his head secretly.

Paul's heart-wrenching roar, not because of anger, but because of unwillingness... He also knows that the Clippers have no chance.

For most teams, trailing 0-3 is the end. But if your opponent is the Grizzlies, congratulations, 0-2 is enough to decide the winner!

The strength gap between the two teams is already very obvious, and Jordan has no advantage in front of Gasol. Once Griffin, who scored 17 points in the half, was targeted, it instantly became 5 points in the half. And Crawford, under the defense of Tony Allen and Jimmy Butler, is also difficult to score high points.

In such a situation, Paul can't fight Link, so what's the chance for the Clippers?

Denagro has already planned to go back to prepare his resignation.

Paul appeared at the press conference in a daze, and tried his best to be defeated. It is not difficult for everyone to understand Paul's mood at this time.

He didn't say a word, even if a reporter asked a question, he just casually echoed a few words.

This may be Paul's career so far, the worst hit.

Half an hour later, Paul appeared on major news websites with a lonely expression on his face at the press conference.

Seeing that Paul played so well, but still lost, countless people expressed emotion.

"Looks like it's up to us to get the Grizzlies."

Durant, who just led his team to victory over the Spurs yesterday, silently turned off the news.
