Between the breaks, Link couldn't relax at all.

Unexpectedly, when he was already playing well, he still gave the Clippers a 2-point lead.

The Grizzlies swept the Rockets 4-0 before, compared to the Clippers who finished the Nuggets 4-2, which can be said to take advantage, but it can also be said to have a certain disadvantage.

Needless to say, the advantage is that the Grizzlies players are definitely in better physical condition than the Clippers players after an early end and early rest.

But the downside is that the Grizzlies didn't meet any resistance in the first round. When it comes to competitive form, the Clippers may be really better.

Judging from the 12 minutes of the game, the Clippers are really different from the regular season. They don't break down quickly and every player comes out on the pitch and does their best.

In the playoffs, just "playing well" isn't enough to gain an advantage. Link knew he was going to have to work harder in the second quarter.

"Link, you and Iguodala switch positions in the second quarter. You defend the number two and let Iguodala defend Butler. Just when Link was at a loss, the young marshal picked up a small stool and walked in front of Link.

"Defensive speed player, you have an advantage. As long as Crawford can't break through, our defence won't be so awkward. I don't need you to lock him up completely, but every time he scores, it's not easy to come by! ”

After listening to this, Link nodded firmly. Iguodala is indeed strong, but he is not omnipotent. Iguodala has a strong defense, and he presses the opponent a lot, and he is not easy to lose position. Even hard steel James is no problem.

But Crawford's style is precisely to avoid physical confrontation through that dazzling dribbling and speed. This free, street, romantic Crawford is floating here.

Before you could confront him, he passed you. Therefore, Iguodala picked up Crawford is a real headache.

But Link isn't afraid, because he and James are already recognized as the league's most versatile players! And Link's defense does not rely on confrontation. In the past, before his physical fitness was upgraded, Link's defense was already excellent.

So, Link is confident that Crawford will stop there!

The break was short, but the wait was still very grinding for Link.

After the start of the second quarter, in order to open up the difference as soon as possible, the Grizzlies re-took all the starting five Tigers on the court.

De Nagro seemed to have guessed the Grizzlies' strategy, as he put Crawford on the court as well, replacing Billups as the starter in the second quarter.

And Crawford's reason for being there is simple - to create kills!

Crawford was so happy, Iguodala, Randolph and Gasol were all there, it was a breeding ground for him!

Originally, Crawford was quite angry when he lost to the Sixth Man of the Year contest this year. Now it's okay, there's someone to vent to.

After the start of the race, Crawford ran through the half very aggressively. But he was surprised to find that Iguodala was getting farther and farther away from him.

"What is this guy doing? Escape? Crawford was stunned, but soon he knew why Iguodala was staying away from him.

Because Iguodala's defensive target is not Crawford at all, but Barnes, who is back in the game.

"Iguodala defends Barnes, so wouldn't it be ...... defend me"

In an instant, Crawford's back spine was cold! In the next second, Link spread his arms and crossed in front of Crawford.

"Long time no see, I know you don't want to see me, but unfortunately, from now on, you will see me every time you attack!" Link said, lifting his trouser leg.

Mr. Tony, who was on the bench, smiled, and now Crawford was finished.

Letting Link lift his trouser leg usually doesn't end well.

Crawford's smile disappeared instantly, he didn't expect that the Grizzlies would really use Link to defend themselves.

Crawford is no stranger to Link. Because during the regular season, Crawford was "cleaned up" by Link.

However, due to the difference in position, the two did not align for a long time. But today, judging from this formation, Link has completely moved to the second position. Crawford was a little nervous, and when he was in high school, even when he faced German forward Detrev, who was selected to the NBA's All-NBA All-Three Team. Neither Schramf nor Crawford were nervous.

He dangled an NBA player as a high school student at the time, making him famous.

But today, in the face of a junior, Crawford is nervous.

Paul was originally going to pass the ball to Crawford, but found that Crawford was just standing in place in a daze, so he had to break through by himself.

But Paul's hand today was really bad, he didn't score much in the first quarter, and as soon as he came up in the second quarter, he missed another throw.

Randolph grabs the rebound, and the Grizzlies are ready to fight back!

This time, Link was not excited. He didn't go to the low post and Griffin to the dead and didn't go to the high post and Caron. Butler fights hard. Link just followed the tactics and conscientiously passed and moved.

Seeing this scene, Crawford became even more nervous. He knew that Link was going to leave his strength on the defensive end!

In the end, Conley assisted Randolph to make a strong shot. Griffin still has an advantage in the low post against Link, but against Randolph it is a complete disadvantage.

With the score leveled, the Clippers now desperately need to play the same offensive performance they did in the second half of the first quarter. Paul took a look at Crawford after receiving the basketball, and Crawford knew what was going on.

You have to bite the bullet too!

"Jamal. Crawford received the basketball, and he scored seven points in the first quarter alone, sounding the horn of the Clippers' counterattack. But in the second quarter, it was Link who was defending him. I don't know if Crawford can maintain that momentum against the Grizzlies' dominant star. ”

Crawford didn't make a triple threat after receiving the ball, but directly made two consecutive arcs to change hands behind his back and stabbed to Link's right hand, which is one of Crawford's signature shaky moves!

Link remembers that when he used to play NBA2K games, everyone had to carry a Crawford dribble bag. This trick is double back luck, practical and good-looking.

But the reality is different from the game, Link didn't shake up, he didn't go to poker with Lawford in advance, he only recognized Crawford as soon as he started.

Without shaking off Link, as soon as Crawford accelerated, he collided with Link!

Paul was shocked, Crawford, this thing, didn't even shake out the slightest space! It's as if O'Neal was overturned by an unknown interior player on the inside.

Speaking of which, O'Neill seems to have been overturned by a yellow-skinned giant......

And now for Crawford, the yellow-skinned giant is Link.

Link's upper body strength is not as strong as Tony's. Aaron is so perverted, but more than enough to deal with Crawford!

As soon as Link straightened his chest, Crawford's center of gravity was already unstable, and he couldn't continue with the next dribble.

In a hurry, Crawford passed the ball to his teammate Matt. Barnes.

However, the basketball was only halfway through when Crawford regretted it. Because he saw Iguodala rush out and stab the basketball before Barnes.

Crawford misses and his pass is tackled by Iguodala!

"Andrey. Iguodala, who took revenge on Crawford for all the atrocities he did to him in the first quarter in another way. The Grizzlies counterattacked, and Chris. Paul stuck to Link! ”

With the rapid change of the situation on the field, Barkley's speech speed also increased.

Paul was the first to react, and the first target he chased was Link!

Even if it was a foul, Paul didn't want Link to score easily.

Paul has a lot of small movements, and he has been grabbing Link's jersey, making it impossible for Link to sprint comfortably.

But even so, Iguodala, who advanced with the ball, chose to give the ball to Link, who was running wildly in the middle.

The moment Link received the ball, Paul made a steal from behind Link. Luckily, he was able to cut the ball. If you don't dribble well, at least you can prevent Link from scoring directly.

However, Link, with Paul almost hanging on top of himself, forced a jump and gently pushed the basketball to the basket before losing his center of gravity.

Paul's eyes widened, does this guy only have baskets in his eyes? The center of gravity is already unstable, and they still think about shooting!

As a result, in the next second, the basketball and Link fell at the same time. Link falls to the ground, and the basketball hollows into the net. The score is valid, and the penalty is added, Chris. Paul lost his wife and lost his soldiers!

"Hey, Link got a three-pointer. Paul never expected that he would not be able to hold Link. It seems that not everyone will shy away from the vicious offender. ”

Paul would have liked, but when Link decided to do something, he couldn't hold it back!"

Link is afraid of ghosts, and he was not afraid to play his life in the development league and others on the training ground for an annual salary of 20,000 yuan. Now that he gets tens of millions a year, he is even more afraid!

Link didn't even wait for his teammates to come up and help him up, and he got up on his own. There was applause at the Federal Express Arena, all dedicated to Link.

Link's free throw shooting rate this season is 93.6%, which is higher than Crawford last season. Sending Link to the free throw line is the same as sending points.

Now, the Grizzlies are 3 points ahead! Once the Grizzlies are on defense, there will be no problems with their offense.

Crawford is under a lot of pressure right now, and he must join the war with Link!

"Kill, keep making kills!" De Nagro commanded the sidelines, and in this round, it was Griffin who carried the heavy load.

But Randolph was pressing close now, and he didn't even give Griffin a chance to get up.

Griffin forced a three-second zone crookedly, and after seeing himself surrounded by the black and white bears, he could only pass the ball back to the three-point line. Griffin didn't want to take a chance, and he knew that being presumptuous in the playoffs was uncool.

Griffin's pass was unbiased and flew towards Crawford.

A pot falls from the sky, what else can Crawford do? Carry it!

Crawford still didn't do a triple threat move, but used the shaking of his head and lower body to make a beautiful forward change of direction!

Link was deceived this time, he thought Crawford was going to move to the left, but he didn't expect the guy to suddenly pull the ball to the right side at the moment of starting!

Crawford's heart is secretly happy! When Iverson flew Jordan, this is the action he used! Jordan will be shaken, not to mention that Link is not Jordan yet!

But Crawford seems to have forgotten that he wasn't Iverson either.

Crawford had just picked up speed and was about to pass past Link. But in the next second, Link was stunned and moved sideways in front of Crawford!

"How could it be so fast!" Crawford was stunned, Link was a well-established No. 3 player! How is it possible for a number three to have such a fast traverse speed?

Link's speed isn't just on the offensive end.

This gave Crawford a new understanding of the word "omnipotent".

Time was running out for offense, and Crawford had to shoot without getting rid of Link completely.

The ending was obvious, and Link ruthlessly slapped the basketball thrown by Crawford to the ground. For the second time in a row, Crawford misses the attack!

Conley rushed up as soon as he could, picked up the basketball, and the Grizzlies fought back again.

Link looked at Crawford and shook his head at him, "It's not going to work, man." ”
