Seven Hundred and Fifty Seven: This Is for You, Man (Four K)

Seeing the Grizzlies attacking again, Jordan didn't feel scared, but was very excited.

Just now, he fanned Conley out with the ball, which undoubtedly boosted his self-confidence. He wished that the Grizzlies' offense could be more violent, because he believed that no matter how violent the offense was, he could not escape his defense!

He will use defense today to destroy the hope of the Grizzlies!

This time, Link didn't paddle again. He jumped to the top of the arc from beyond the right 3-point line and received a pass from Conley.

Little Jordan licked his lips, eager to try! He can't get the Best Defensive Player Award back, but his dignity can!

Matt Barnes is on guard from beyond the arc, spreading his arms as much as possible to increase his defensive area.

It was not the first time that Barnes had played against Link. He knew very well that Link was the kind of opponent who could not be solved by ferocity alone. And Barnes' biggest weapon on the defensive end is just ferocity.

Since ferocity doesn't work, Barnes has to get the best out of the details.

Link was not in a hurry to break through, but reached out and called Gasol up, he needed a pick-and-roll!

"Link called a screen, and he played very cautiously. Let's see if Link's first attack in the Western Conference semifinals can help the Grizzlies break the scoring drought!"

It's too late to say that, Gasol's cover was just in place, and Link suddenly started!

Barnes didn't have time to react at all, Link's first step was too fast! Although it is not the fastest in the league, it is definitely one of the fastest in the league!

Barnes remembers that when he played against Link in his rookie season, Link was just a slow shooting floor player, a "typical" Chinese player.

But now, Link is omnipotent, and God knows what he has experienced in the past few years!

Barnes had been slow to respond by half a beat, and then being blocked by Gasol, he naturally completely lost his defensive position.

As a result, Jordan behind Gasol had to make up the defense.

"Don't think it's safe to pass Barnes, bastard!" Jordan said to himself, switching to Link, he felt that this was a chance for revenge arranged by God!

But in fact, it was not God who gave Jordan a chance, but Link!

Link called Gasol to cover, not because he couldn't get rid of Barnes, but because he wanted a dislocation!

Let Jordan switch to the front of him, this is what Link had expected before!

Little Jordan thought he could be ashamed, but he was just a marionette, completely controlled by Link.

Link hurried to the basket, raised the basketball with his left hand, and seemed to be preparing for a layup.

Little Jordan kicked his legs hard and jumped straight into the air! Jordan jumped so high that even Link couldn't surpass it.

But the premise is that Link has to fight Jordan in the air. If Link chooses to settle the fight on the ground, it doesn't matter how high Jordan jumps.

After Jordan took off, he realized that Link's layup was just a fake! After picking up Jordan, Link took advantage of the situation and turned around to shoot, and he easily hit the ball.

Link used his superb basket footsteps to play the self-confident Jordan as funny as a jumping frog.

Jordan flew out of the bottom line and watched as the basketball hit the net.

Rajon Rondo uses this kind of fake layup behind the basket to turn around. But Link has the shooting ability that Rondo does not have, so he can be more efficient and versatile than Rondo.

"Link scored so easily, he was just kidding Jordan."

"In front of Link, Jordan's defense doesn't seem to be that strong in an instant."

Hubie Brown and Van Gundy both shook their heads, Link is about to start a show!

"I didn't expect to shake you away so easily. I had a lot of follow-up fakes. It's a pity, I didn't have a chance to use it." Link smiled and spread his hands at Jordan, but Jordan couldn't laugh at all. come out.

He really wanted to punch Link in the mouth right now.

Defensive Jordan's proud defense was humiliated by Link like this, which made his anger soar again.

But being too angry is not a good thing, and having just the right amount of anger can improve combat effectiveness. But if the critical point is exceeded, there may be side effects.

Link's beautiful goal brought the Grizzlies back. At the same time, it also stabilized the situation on the field.

It's impossible for the Clippers to easily kill the Grizzlies.

"Calm down, DeAndre, you still have a chance to defend him!" Paul tried to get Jordan back to his senses, but his comforting words didn't seem as effective as Link's trash talk.

This time the Clippers attacked, Paul passed the ball to Redick, who shot from beyond the arc.

J. J. Redick undoubtedly had his best season with the Clippers, averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game. The originally unknown white shooter has also become a very familiar figure to fans at this time.

However, Redick missed a 3-pointer under Andre Iguodala's tight defense. After the Clippers scored two goals in a row, the scoring momentum seemed to be suddenly cut off.

The basketball hit the front of the basket, and the two teams began to compete for rebounds!

Just as little Gasol jumped up, he felt that he was knocked out by a huge force. And the rebounds that were about to be obtained were not protected because of this.

Little Jordan got the basketball and was about to take off and dunk twice, but the referee blew the whistle in time!

"Foul for rebounding, Grizzlies possession!"

The referee could see clearly that just now, it was Jordan who smashed Gasol, who was about to get the rebound, and flew out. Such an obvious and rude foul, even in the larger playoffs, cannot be pardoned.

Seeing that the rebounds and second offense that he had already obtained were blown away, Jordan covered his head and complained to the referee.

Link smiled. It seemed that the little Jordan guy had begun to be blinded by anger.

Then next, it will be very easy to do!

Rivers curled his lips off the court. Jordan, as the Clippers' interior defensive pillar, every foul count is extremely precious.

But just now, Jordan got a foul on the offensive rebound, which is naturally not worth it.

The first quarter was still long, and Rivers just hoped Jordan would calm down. If he got two fouls early, Rivers would have lost a defensive stalwart.

The Grizzlies have the ball again, and they have a chance to tie or even overtake the score!

This time, after Link made a breakthrough to attract Jordan's defense, he assisted Gasol in the mid-range to score.

The two teams were tied, and Jordan missed his defender.

Link deliberately shook his head in front of Jordan after Gasol scored, "Hey, no wonder you can't be the best defensive player. Lost to Gasol last year, lost to me this year, and next day knows who else you will lose to. "

Link's trash talk made Jordan clench his fists, and the big guy was on the verge of losing control.

Defensive Player of the Year was taken away by Link, and Jordan felt ashamed enough. He was not allowed to be on the basketball court, and Link insulted himself so brazenly!

So in the next attack, Jordan was extraordinarily active! This center, who has always focused only on defense and has no weight on the offensive end except for eating pie, is actively seeking scoring opportunities.

Jordan, who was originally leaning on Gasol, suddenly turned around and cut to the basket. This fleeting opportunity is actually very difficult to receive the ball. But Jordan was lucky because he had an all-time point guard around him.

Chris Paul delivered the ball to Jordan in a timely and precise manner. No one knows how Paul saw the opportunity and made it in such a short time. If everyone could do it, Paul wouldn't be the number one point guard in the league.

Jordan is thankful that Paul read his intentions. After he received the basketball, Gasol had been left behind. The next step is simple, just want to wreak havoc on the basket!

Little Jordan jumped up, just about to lift the basketball, but Link rushed to Little Jordan like lightning and started everything!

"Dudududu!" The referee blew his whistle, indicating that Link was not clean when he cut the ball, and he committed a foul.

Link raised his hand, acknowledging his foul. But Jordan's opportunity to vent his inner anger was destroyed.

"Link arrived just in time, and it was definitely better for DeAndre to stand on the free throw line than for him to dunk directly. Although it was a foul, it was still worth it." Hubie Brown applauded Link's defense.

This time on defense, statistically, Link got nothing but a foul. But in fact, he destroyed a must-scoring goal for the Clippers.

It's no wonder that so many people are dissatisfied with Link taking the best defensive player. Because just looking at the data, Link seems to be nothing special. But as long as you watch Link's games, you can see his impact on the defensive end.

Little Jordan was so angry, he finally had a chance to dunk, but he was stunned by Link.

An angry Jordan stood on the free throw line, ready to make a free throw. Like most athletic centers, Jordan's free-throw accuracy is basically the sky's the limit.

Last season, he shot an absurdly low 38.6 percent from the free-throw line. This season has improved, but 42.8 percent from the free-throw line is still not that great.

Howard has always been criticized for his low free throw percentage, but in fact his free throw percentage was around 60% for the first seven years of his career. In his worst three seasons, he also shot 49 percent from the free throw line. It can be seen that Jordan's free throws are more "elite" than Howard.

An angry Jordan made his first free throw, and then the unthinkable happened.

Jordan did not master the shooting action because he was too angry, causing the basketball to fall directly to the ground after crossing a high arc!

The basketball didn't touch the rim, the rebound, or even the net. An extremely angry Jordan threw a three-point shot at the free throw line!

"What!? Three non-sticks!? I'm just looking for a middle school player, and he won't be free throw three!" Hubie Brin's eyes were stared, and Jordan was in the top five. !

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, Jordan's blue veins burst out, his anger continued to accumulate, and he was on the verge of losing control of his emotions.

"Beautiful and beautiful, the penalty is good, you can almost score, come on!" Link added fuel to the fire and applauded.

Desperate, Jordan stepped up his second free throw, but the basketball still didn't have any accuracy at all. It hit the neck of the basket and bounced out.

Pau Gasol struggled to protect the rebound, and Jordan missed both free throws. He originally wanted to vent his emotions on the offensive end, but now he is burdened with more negative emotions.

Gasol won the rebound without hesitation, and threw the ball to the front directly in the backcourt.

On the other hand, Link had already started when Jordan made his second free throw! Link has full confidence in Jordan's free throw!

"The Grizzlies quickly counterattacked, another typical counterattack initiated by a long pass from the backcourt! Link received the basketball firmly, can he overtake the score!?"

After Link received the basketball, Paul, who retreated in time, resisted the next set and was unable to accelerate immediately. Paul's defense is very old-fashioned. If Link chooses, he thinks Paul is more qualified to win the Best Defensive Player Award than Jordan.

But soon, Link shook off Paul with a change of direction and continued to kill towards the basket.

However, because of Paul's delay, Link has lost the best opportunity to counterattack. After he burst to the basket, Jordan also arrived with gritted teeth.

All the previous grievances, he will use this cover to smooth it out!

As a result, Link was directly knocked to the ground in the air. The angry little Jordan was completely inaccurate in blocking this time, and he just rushed at people!

The harsh whistle immediately rang through the audience, and Doug Rivers covered his head in annoyance. Jordan fouled twice so early, and the Clippers' defense would definitely be greatly affected.

That guy is really not calm! Such a brutal foul of his would not frighten Link at all, on the contrary, he was caught in Link's trap!

Sure enough, Link got up by himself before his teammates came to help him, and then flicked the dust on his collar.

Under Jordan's rude foul, Link also showed a look of indifference, causing Jordan to suffer a crit.

Little Jordan suddenly realized that not everyone was afraid of him. It turned out that his rough fouls had no deterrent effect at all!

Link looked at the sidelines and found that Rivers had made the backup inside "big baby" Glen Davis ready to play.

That is to say, after the first penalty is over later, Jordan will be temporarily off the court, and he will not be able to return for the entire first quarter. Two early fouls, that's how it ends.

Link pouted, what a pity, the game ended so quickly. He didn't expect that Little Jordan would be defeated so quickly.

Just like that, I still want to be the best defensive player.

Overcome!

After standing on the free throw line, Link wanted to end the fight with Jordan just like this, but when he thought of Jordan's free throws just now, Link couldn't help but want to laugh.

So Link simply called out to Jordan at the free throw line.

"Hey, DeAndre."

Little Jordan looked at Link with a displeased expression, but didn't gnaw.

"You did a great free throw show just now, so I want to give you another free throw show too. Look, it's for you, man."

After that, Link closed his eyes and took a free throw!

In the darkness, Link heard the tumbling of the nets. He slowly opened his eyes, and all he saw was the look on Jordan's worse than shit.

Jordan walked down the court dejected, even forgetting to high-five the "big baby" who was playing for him.

In less than a game, Link solved one of the two big troubles. To be honest, it was earlier and easier than Link had expected.

Then next, only Chris Paul is left!
