Five Hundred and Fifty Eight: We Are Completely Destroyed by Link
Griffin was angry and helpless. He was in a very bad mood when the playoffs were like this. Now it's good, but he was actually ridden by Link on his neck and shit.
Griffin really wanted to go back to the locker room right now, put on his gloves, and fight Link in a different way for a few rounds.
But this kind of thinking is obviously unrealistic, and Griffin has to hold back even if he is full of fire. Because at the basketball level, Griffin was doomed to never win against Link again.
And losers are not qualified to lose their temper.
"The game will end with only 2 minutes left, but the Clippers still haven't been able to get closer. If this game is lost, the Clippers will be behind 0-3!" Barkley couldn't hide his excitement, he said. It is no longer possible to remain neutral.
What Link has done has made Barkley madly infatuated with him. Rather than the Clippers, Barkley would rather see what Link and his Grizzlies can do next.
On the court, the 14-point difference was pressing on the Clippers, making Paul breathless.
His score today is not as explosive as the last game, which is actually expected. But once Paul misfired, no one else could help her.
Griffin? The reason why he was so angry at fouling Randolph today is because he was completely misfired. Otherwise, with Griffin's temper and style of play, he wouldn't be able to play "hugging" with Randolph.
Link was still very focused and was not affected by the technical foul just now. Although he has just been fined $25,000, he has just been named and criticized by the league.
But in the game, Link doesn't think about the mess. Winning is more important than anything else.
Still looking for a way to narrow the score, Paul handed the ball to Crawford, hoping that Crawford could use his drive to tear the Grizzlies' defense and open the space.
Link didn't make it easier for Crawford, however. The super sixth man struggled in this series. He has not scored in double figures for two consecutive games, which is all thanks to Bailink.
The basketball has been conducted for a while, and the Clippers still haven't got any decent chances. In the end, Paul had to force the shot.
Another forced shot, even Chris Paul couldn't hit such a difficult ball again and again.
"Bang!" The crisp sound of iron strikes reminded the fans of the Staples Center to cover their heads with their hands.
In the first round, Los Angeles fans have just experienced the pain of being swept by the Lakers. But in the second round, their nightmare seemed to continue.
After this ball, the Clippers almost gave up. In all three games, the Clippers had nothing to do with the Grizzlies. In the last two minutes, is there a way to take the Grizzlies?
Griffin was wrapped in a deep sense of frustration, trying to kill someone but not being able to, which is probably one of the most uncomfortable things in fact.
Link still didn't let up in the last few rounds, he wanted to make sure there were no surprises!
When the game went into the final 38 seconds, and the Grizzlies still held a 13-point advantage, Link's tense nerves relaxed.
In the stands, countless fans have begun to withdraw, and they are extremely disappointed with the performance of the Clippers.
On the court, Chris Paul was expressionless. Although he had expected such a thing to happen, when it did happen, Paul found himself less indifferent than he had imagined.
If it is 0-2 down, the Clippers still have a theoretical chance of winning. So now when the score becomes 0-3, even the most optimistic people will not think that the Clippers still have a chance.
The 2012-13 season of Chris Paul and the Clippers is over!
38 seconds later, Chris Paul fell to the wooden floor of the Staples Center.
The dream of the Western Conference finals is broken again! And, still broken in such a complete way.
"3-0, the Grizzlies got match point mercilessly. Honestly, it was a surprise result. I mean, the Grizzlies do have a bigger chance of winning, but I think before the series starts. , Few people think the Grizzlies can sweep the Clippers 4-0.
"
"4 to 0? Game 4 hasn't been played yet, Charles." Kenny Smith thought that Barkley guy had messed up.
"Yeah, Game 4 hasn't been played yet. But you look at the court and look at the state of the Clippers. Do you think they can resist the Grizzlies in Game 4? It's 4-0, Kenny. ."
Link raised his right arm and made a fist. And five meters away next to him, Chris Paul was sitting on the ground, eyes blank.
Countless reporters took this scene, which has undoubtedly become the most classic photo of this series.
The second classic is Link giving Griffin his middle finger.
"33 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, Link has scored 30 points in two consecutive games, and no one in the Clippers can stop him. Even if there is another 100 times, it will be the same result. Believe me , the next game is the Clippers' last game of the season."
The reporters quickly surrounded the stadium, but when the reporters rushed up, Chris Paul had disappeared.
Helpless, the reporters had to turn their guns and walked to the Clippers coach Vinnie Denagro, who had planned to resign himself.
"Don't ask me any questions, I'm too lazy to answer your mentally retarded questions. I'll just say it, there's nothing we can do about him. We try to defend him with double-teams or even triples, we Tried to set up defensive traps for him, but nothing worked. This entire series, we were completely destroyed by Link." Denagro didn't wait for the reporters to ask questions, and then he said the most powerful content. .
Rather than being stalked by reporters, Dana Gro would rather let go and get out sooner.
After he finished speaking, De Nagro left in a bad mood, leaving Crawford alone to face the reporters who were like hungry wolves.
Crawford faced reporters and spread his hands, "This night, Link made each of us look like fools."
Crawford finally decided that he might as well be as frank and lenient as Denagro.
8 points and 2 assists, this is the data that Crawford won in this whole game. As a loser, Crawford didn't have much room to defend himself.
The reporters were also surprised to see that the Clippers were "relaxed" so quickly.
They expected DeNagro and Crawford to say things like, "We're not giving up, we're going to keep fighting."
Unexpectedly, the Clippers have made no secret of their defeat.
After the game, there were many reporters who attended the Grizzlies' press conference. Although this is Staples, it's Clippers territory. But today, the Grizzlies are even more popular than the Clippers.
"Link, after you made that gesture to Blake Griffin, aren't you afraid of being punished by the league again?" At the press conference, a reporter mentioned Link's controversial move.
Faced with this question, Link was not nervous, but offered a smile.
"There are some things you have to do on the basketball court. He's bad for my teammates, I'm giving him a taste, it's that simple. If the league is going to punish me, it's better to bring Blake Griffin with me. . Because his fouls are much worse than mine."
Link did not give in, just like the previous game, he was ready to be punished. It's just a small action, no matter how much you punish, it's impossible to get yourself suspended. As long as he is not banned, Link is not afraid.
At this time, Chris Wallace, who was watching TV at home, rubbed his temples. It seems that early tomorrow morning, I will receive another call from the Alliance Office.
He and the Alliance were trying to control a beast, which, I have to say, was stupid. Chris Wallace knew that he would have to make such mental preparations every day in the future.
But it is precisely because of this that Link can survive and succeed in the cruel NBA.
On the surface, though, Wallace has to side with the league. But privately, Wallace is still very supportive of Link.
If someone dares to bully a Grizzlies player, let him know he regrets it.
Chris Wallace edited a text message and sent it to Link.
"You're in trouble again, man. I can think of it with my toes, tomorrow morning at 8:30 I'll get a call from the league office on time and they'll scold me and hopefully I'll scold you too. A meal. But I'm not going to do that, I'll even tell you, well done!"
Link smiled apologetically when he saw the text message.
"Don't worry, even if there is another conflict between Blake and I, it will be next season. Now, you can rest assured."
Leading 3-0, Link is not going to give the Clippers any chance.
