As soon as the game began, Link taught Lillard and Aldridge what it meant to be pressing.

Lillard experienced Conley's tenacious defense on the first shot, and Aldridge experienced Link's incredible offense.

After witnessing Link's terrifying ability to score points, Aldridge couldn't help but look up at the dome of the Federal Express Arena and at the brand-new championship pennant.

From the beginning of last season to the present, there have been countless teams that have suffered defeats in this place. Only a handful of teams can survive from this wooden floor. Aldridge had always wondered what the Grizzlies' secret to their continued success was, and now he seemed to have found the answer.

Aldridge felt the pressure on him, and although it was only one goal, it had already made him realize how difficult it was to win at the Federal Express Arena.

By the time the Trail Blazers went up again, the Grizzlies' defense was fully formed. Aldridge didn't cover his teammates this time, but instead sat inside in key positions.

At the same time, everyone else pulled away to create space for Aldridge to play singles.

Aldridge's low single, this is the Trail Blazers' simplest, but also most efficient tactic! Scored a magic goal by Link, Aldridge also wanted to return the color quickly.

When his hand was hot, Aldridge relied on his turnaround jumper to easily score consecutive points. He is confident in his low singles.

Lillard hoisted the ball into the box with pinpoint and into Aldridge's hands. Randolph grabbed Aldridge's waist and didn't let him exert his strength. But Aldridge didn't care, his back was not squeezing in.

Aldridge got the basketball, felt the defense with his back, and then prepared to attack!

At this moment, Link actively wrapped up and didn't let Aldridge turn around and face the frame!

Aldridge really didn't expect Link's reinforcement to come so quickly, and he began to look for Batum's position and prepare to pass.

Aldridge is an extremely demanding player in his choice of shots, and will not take a shot if the receiving position does not meet psychological expectations or if he encounters a strong defense that he is not sure of.

The advantages and disadvantages of his style of play are obvious.

The upside, of course, is efficiency, and you rarely see Aldridge hitting too low a shooting percentage.

But the downside is that the Trail Blazers can't score at certain key moments. A team's superstar often has to hit some less reasonable balls at key moments to help the team gain an advantage in a scorched state.

But Aldridge didn't do that well enough, he was too reasonable. Sometimes a few times in a row in a round, he would give up for a variety of reasons.

For this problem, Stotts is also quite a headache. Therefore, many of the key shots of the Trail Blazers are actually handed over to Lillard, a sophomore.

Now, in the face of such a tight bag, with Aldridge's character, he will definitely not make a move.

Finally, Aldridge saw Batum on the right side outside the three-point line.

But as soon as he passed the ball, Link immediately returned to the defense. Link is fast, and on the defensive end, Link has never been able to conserve stamina.

When Batum received the basketball, Link also rushed to the front of "French Pippen" again.

Link's bag was just right, neither allowing Aldridge to go on an easy solo nor giving Batum any chances!

The Trail Blazers didn't even play the simplest tactics, which made them a little panicked.

In the last game against the Warriors, the Trail Blazers played smoothly and gave the Warriors what they wanted.

Today, the Blazers were suddenly exposed to such a tight defense, and the Blazers were a little unaccustomed to it.

There is no way, Batum can only let the basketball continue to conduct. The Trail Blazers finished with 22 seconds to go through and didn't pull out of the gap.

In desperation, Wesley. Matthews chose to force his shot. But Iguodala's interference allowed Matthews' shot to be off target.

Basketball hits iron, and the Trail Blazers miss their second consecutive offense!

"Didn't go in again, where is the powerful firepower of the Trail Blazers?" Mike. Brin was a little surprised, the Trail Blazers today and the team that slaughtered the Warriors at Oracle Arena two days ago were a far cry.

Old Hubby, who was beside Brin, smiled, it wasn't the Trail Blazers' offensive firepower that had weakened. It's the Grizzlies' defense, which is tougher than all the teams the Trail Blazers have faced before!

Wesley. Matthews' hit put the Trail Blazers in a passive situation again, and Conley stood outside the three-point line waiting for his teammates to settle down.

Terry. Stotts held his chin, and he still didn't believe that the Grizzlies could hit the kind of ball that they could turn around 360 degrees in the air for layups every round.

This time, Link chose to have a hand-to-hand with Conley. Lillard didn't hesitate and switched guards directly at the moment of Conley and Link's handover!

Although Lillard is less than 1.9 meters tall, the height gap between him and Link is quite large. But even so, Lillard is undaunted. All he knew was that Link must not be given any space!

After the change of defense is completed, Lillard is ready to steal! Generally, at the moment when the hand-to-hand pass is completed, the receiver's attention will not be too concentrated.

Lillard thought his steal was inevitable, but just as his palm was about to touch the basketball, Link flicked his wrist and passed the ball to the ground again.

This time, Link's pass target was none other than Conley, who cut in immediately after the hand-to-hand handover!

Conley's fight against Batum is a small and big mismatch, and it is very difficult for Batum to keep up with Conley's speed.

Seeing Conley break through along the left, Robin. Lopez quickly rushed back to the basket! As long as Conley makes a layup, he will do his best to stop it!

He's not as gentle as Aldridge and his brother Brooke, and Robin is a foul and won't let Conley score easily!

As everyone knows, the moment Conley jumped to the basket, he suddenly changed the ball to his left hand, to the side away from the basket, and then gently sent the ball to the rebound.

Lopez and Batum both pounced, they didn't expect Conley to switch to a left-handed layup!

Conley is a well-known left-hander, as we all know. But in the game, in the blink of an eye, the players sometimes have to rely on instinct to make moves, because they don't have time to think. And most people's instinct is to seal the other party's right hand.

The basketball eventually refracted the rebound into the net, and Lopez and Batum looked at each other.

What kind of people are the Grizzlies, one in the air turning, the other changing hands in the air, and they can always score goals in the most unpredictable way!

Conley pointed to Link after scoring and thanked him for the assist.

Now he's not nervous at all, he just wants to give Lillard and the Trail Blazers some color to see.

4-0, the Trail Blazers' defense was like a thin layer of paper in front of the Grizzlies, and it broke with a single stab.

And the Grizzlies' defense is like a ten-centimeter-thick door in a bank vault, which cannot be penetrated at all.

Link and Conley scored a goal each, as if setting the tone for the game. Today's game is destined to be a show for the two of them.

Of course, Lillard didn't agree, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to show himself in this game.

So, Lillard chose to continue to break through with the ball this time. He still doesn't believe that he just scored 38 points in the last game, and he will suddenly be dumb today.

Seeing Lillard reach out for cover, Link shook his head.

Lillard is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and after the failure of that offense just now, he still wants to win by singles, which is really tough.

This time, we must let him die!

Lillard first bypassed Aldridge's block, and then suddenly changed direction in front of Conley when he caught up!

Two consecutive changes of direction allowed Lillard to temporarily throw off half of his body, and although Conley still remained on Lillard's side, Lillard would not stop there.

As long as he can get out, Lillard believes he can score!

He sprinted diagonally to the basket and jumped to the basket even after Gasol had already made it to the basket.

Of course, Lillard is not stupid, he is not going to die. In the air, in the face of the double interference of Conley and Gasol, Lillard opted for a pull-up layup!

He glided from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket, and then at the moment when his body began to fall, he came to look back at the moon and went to the basket.

With this ball, Lillard showed his physical fitness to the fullest. Pulling the lever with the help of two of last season's Defensive Second Team members is not something anyone can do.

After dodging the defense, Lillard threw the ball with his back to the basket. Although it is facing away from the basket, this kind of ball is not difficult for professional players.

Lillard believes the Trail Blazers will break the scoring drought!

However, in the next second, Lillard saw Link rushing towards him. When Link jumped up next to Lillard, Lillard even felt a strong wind blowing!

Link's body is soaring fast, and his athleticism right now is definitely the best of the best. Before the basketball thrown by Lillard flew to the highest point, Link waved his hand in the air and grabbed the basketball directly into his arms!

Lillard suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and then his mind went blank.

He couldn't believe what he had just seen.

"It's ...... A catch! Link used his extremely terrifying bounce to grab the ball in the air directly! Damien. Lillard's lever moves are beautiful, but everything he's done before is now in vain! ”

Although in the playoffs last season, Hubi. Brown has witnessed Link's performance of catching Durant. But once again, I saw Link finish such a powerful performance, Huby. Brown still got goosebumps.

Don't talk about Hubi. Brown, even Stephen, who can keep his composure on anything. A. Smith, all mouth wide open at this point.

Link seemed to be waiting for Lillard to come in on purpose, and he could spend whatever he wanted. But if you dare to come in, you will have to pay the price!

Link said he was going to make Lillard completely dead, and he did.

After grabbing the basketball in the air directly, Link made a long pass in the backcourt and made a "bullet pass".

The basketball quickly ran through the court and was picked up by Iguodala, who had already started.

At this point, Wesley. Matthews was right next to Iguodala, and he reacted quickly and clung tightly.

But Iguodala didn't go straight to the rim when he received the basket, but was very clever enough to dangle a shot under the basket.

Matthews was fooled, and he floated past Iguodala and could only end up watching Iguodala easily put the ball in the frame.

6-0, the Trailblazers were beaten to the point of no defense!

Before the game, people talked about how hard the Trail Blazers would play and how hard the Grizzlies would play. But who caused trouble to whom, but not necessarily!

Lillard's Adam's apple slid up and down and swallowed.

At that moment, he had nothing but fear in his heart.

However, 6-0 was not the end, and in the next two rounds, the Grizzlies still completed the blockade of the Trail Blazers and fought back.

When the score was 11-0, Trail Blazers coach Terry Brown. Stotts remembered to call a timeout.

Maybe he thought at first that the players would be able to adjust themselves and that the scoreless situation would not be maintained. Perhaps, he was really frightened and so slow to react.

No one knows what Stotts was thinking, but one thing is for sure, the defending champions gave the Trail Blazers a taste of power!

11-0, such a start, it was a big surprise, and everyone must have thought that the two teams would be anxious from the first minute of the game to the last second.

But Link isn't that patient, he can destroy his opponent instantly, and he won't drag it back!

After all, procrastination is not a good habit.
