The first game of the new season opener went to play on the road, which shows that the league is indeed not very optimistic about the box office appeal of the Grizzlies.

Clippers vs Grizzlies, this game is definitely a blockbuster. After all, both teams are strong players in the West, and Griffin and Link still have some grudges before.

This game was in the spotlight before it started, after all, the Grizzlies have undergone too much change this summer. People are eager to see if the Memphis Grizzlies are getting stronger or weaker today.

It's true that the Grizzlies have shown great quality in four games in the preseason, but the preseason is never an official game. It is not uncommon for people to play well in the preseason and end up in the regular season overturning.

So today's game was listed as a national live broadcast by ESPN! The TV station also decided to send Mike. Brin and Kevin. Harlan composed of a luxurious commentary lineup. By the way, a very special guest was also invited - ESPN data analysis expert John Murphy. Hollinger.

"I still stand by my opinion, and I think the Clippers have a good chance of winning at home." Hollinger may not have even imagined that he wrote a preview article himself, and it ended up on TV, still in a nationally broadcast game.

"Even though the Grizzlies have won four straight preseasons, do you stick to your point?" An hour before the start of the game, ESPN was already warming up for the game.

Face Mike. Pollin's inquiry, Hollinger nodded affirmatively, "The Grizzlies have been playing four games in the preseason, and it seems that the offense is more fluid and the defense is stronger." But truth be told, none of their four opponents approached the game in regular season form. In the face of the opponent's loose defense, it is not difficult to play a smooth attack. But today, the Los Angeles Clippers aren't going to let up. After all, the Clippers' goal is to win a championship. ”

Hollinger continued, "The Clippers' reinforcements this summer were very smart, and yes, I used the word smart. You should work smarter, not harder, and that's the difference between the Clippers and the Grizzlies. The Clippers kept Billups first, and it was a decision that can't go wrong. Second, the Clippers let go of Nick. Young, who instead signed Matt, who is both offensive and defensive. Barnes. Nick. Why was Yang let go? Because the offensive efficiency is too low, it is not good to defend. As a result, the player is now on the Grizzlies, and the two teams are in good hands. ”

In addition, the Clippers' most important signing this summer was the acquisition of Jamal for four years and $21 million. Crawford. Crawford is a two-way guard who can score and have some playmaking. His addition has made the Clippers' bench shine. In terms of bench firepower, the Grizzlies and Clippers are completely incomparable. Unless, like last season's Western Conference Finals, Link only has a three-minute break per game. ”

Hollinger's statement undoubtedly made Los Angeles fans very happy, as if the Clippers had already won before the game even started.

But the Grizzlies players sitting in the locker room at the Staples Center don't think so, they're going to make a big fuss about Staples today!

In the locker room, everyone is seriously changing their equipment. Link took out his new sneakers and examined them.

It looks like a pair of regular Kobe Bryant 6th generation basketball shoes, but the color scheme of the sneakers is dark blue throughout, and Link's number 0 and his signature are on the heel. On top of that, there are several engraved words on the side of the sole.

These are the words that Link used to write every pair of sneakers he used to hold. But now, Nike will tailor it all for him!

Link looked at this pair of sneakers and smiled with satisfaction, this is his first pair of exclusive sneakers, Kobe Bryant's 6th Generation Link Special Edition!

According to Austin's data, the special-edition sneakers have sold particularly well since their launch, with Tennessee selling outright.

Link's commercial value in the sneaker market was first revealed. Austin believes that after the season, Link will be able to have his signature shoes.

Putting on his sneakers, Link stood up and staggered twice. He felt his whole body full of strength, just waiting for the battle to begin!

"Alright guys, the opener, I know, you've been waiting for this moment for a long time!" Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Stevens clapped his hands and began to speak before the game.

The players nodded their heads in agreement, they had indeed waited too long! From the moment they get off the plane, the Grizzlies players are eager to fight!

"Good, keep this feeling of hunger alive! Once on the pitch, don't give them any breathing room. At the beginning of the game, you have to use a very aggressive style of play to gain an advantage! Stevens slapped the tactical whiteboard with his fist, but don't be fooled by Stevens' elegant appearance, he is always passionate about the game.

"Link, you play the number three position today, and Andre plays the number two position. Caron. Butler's traverse speed should be slow this season, don't give him face, give him a big deal. I know, it's called John. The Hollinger guys have always looked down on us, and he seems to think that the small ball city should not have victory and glory. So let him see today, what is called Western Haoqiang! ”

"Roar!" The players yelled, then stood up. Everyone is now looking at Link, looking at this new young leader.

They were waiting for him to call the shots.

"We fight, we bleed, we win! Let's go, villains boys! With that, Link pushed open the locker room door and took the lead and rushed out first.

As he walked out of the tunnel of the players, there was a huge boo. But the boos only made Link more excited.

Stepping onto the court, the Grizzlies players begin to warm up. The Clippers and Grizzlies players barely communicated, after all, the two sides are half rivals.

After seeing a player warming up at the Clippers' half, Link couldn't help but walk over and shout his name.

"Ciel, can I have a few words with you?" Link looked at the back of No. 33, full of traces of time.

A strong man with a slightly square face and an inch head turned around and smiled at Link, "Hello Lin, you're stronger than last season." ”

Although so many years have passed, Grant. Hill's smile is still so charming.

In his third season in the league, Link was finally able to say a good word to Hill for the first time. In the previous two seasons, either Hill was injured and didn't show up, or he didn't have a chance to speak before and after the game, which made Link extremely regretful.

But now, Link is standing in front of his idol Hill. He was a little excited, so excited that he couldn't speak incoherently.

"I ...... That ......"

"Hahaha, you look a little nervous? It's okay, this isn't your first time playing the opener. Take it easy and play your level. Now is your time, you must let go and fight, don't leave regrets for your career. However, if I confront you later, I won't show mercy. ”

Elegant, gentle, gentlemanly...... Sure enough, Hill's gestures reveal these labels.

"Thanks for the reminder, Ciel. I just wanted to say, thank you. I grew up watching your ball, and it was you who made me firmly walk on the road of basketball, thank you! ”

"Well, don't say that, it looks like I'm old, I'm only in my thirties......" Hill said abruptly. Because he suddenly reacted, he was already 40 years old in October this year......

That's a desperate number for a professional footballer.

With a wry smile, Hill and Link hugged softly, and then Link turned back to his own half.

Before Hill retired, Link finally had a close encounter with his idol, which was the fulfillment of his wish.

The moment Link turned away from the Clippers' half, the tenderness before the game began. From now until the last minute of the game, all that's left is killing!

Link looked at the commentary stand at the Staples Center, staring at John Brown, who was talking. Hollinger.

Tonight, another basketball expert on paper will be ruined.
