142: Why are you so short?

Griffin burst out of the baseline and slammed into the basketball hoop. Even if the NBA's basketball hoop is padded and protected. But Griffin, who was flown out by Link, was still hit lightly, and the most infuriating thing was that he hit himself when he wanted to be ruthless......

"Damn! My blunder! Griffin apologized to his teammates and continued to run forward.

During the rookie game, Link and Cousins teamed up to steal the show, and Griffin didn't care. In the regular season, Link was praised as the "strongest rookie" again and again, and Griffin didn't care.

But now, when Link himself played Griffin in the regular season, the relegating top pick couldn't take it anymore. Being threatened by an undrafted rookie threatens Griffin's position as the best rookie is a shame for Griffin. He's an All-Star caliber forward, and his goal this year is to be the best of all the rookies.

Griffin had already begun to secretly fight with Link, but the guy didn't know that he himself had been targeted by a more dangerous character......

"Well done Link, you should play him like that!" Randolph praised him in the other half, and Link had just stolen Griffin and scored a counter-attack, which made Randolph's heart extremely happy.

"I guess he'll probably attack you again, hold on, Zack."

"Hah! Let him come over! Randolph raised his arm, and the guy seemed to be eager to rush straight up and pounce on Griffin.

In fact, most of the stars who have made a name for themselves don't bother to bother with rookies. Because even the champion show is a small weak chicken in front of many famous stars. Of course, O'Neal, Duncan and James don't count.

Even Griffin wasn't really strong in Randolph's opinion. That guy has little offensive means, has a foundation but is not proficient. As long as he doesn't rush up and doesn't let him receive the ball comfortably, Griffin's offense is basically blind.

However, Randolph's brain circuits have always been different from others, not to mention competing with the opposing rookie, he and Link, his own rookie, are competing.

Don't forget that last time Link stuffed popcorn in the Randolph locker, Randolph was stunned to fool Link into buying a car, just to get revenge by stuffing popcorn in Link's car......

So, Griffin really hit a hard stubble today. That "reasonable" guy will really use the same treatment as Duncan to deal with rookies.

The Clippers offense in the second round, the Clippers players have already experienced the Grizzlies' strangulation defense, and they also know that even a small mistake against the Grizzlies can be counterattacked. Therefore, Mo. Williams was a little more cautious this time.

He called Griffin to come over and cover himself, and this time, the Clippers wanted to block and dismantle!

Randolph clings to Griffin's back so that Griffin doesn't suddenly cut in. And Conley kept leading Xiao Mo to the right side, until Link came up, and Xiao Mo reacted and fell into the defensive trap!

Using the strength of his teammates to complete the defense, leading the opponent into defensive traps and limiting them is a characteristic of Conley on the defensive end.

Conley is a very clear thinking player and he knows exactly what he has to do every moment on the pitch. On the offensive end, he can sort out the offense, and on the defensive end, he can also arrange the alignment clearly.

Mo after falling into the bag trap. Williams couldn't get the ball to the inside Griffin in the first place, and the Clippers' tactics were completely ruined. The Clippers in this period did not have Rivers and neither Paul, so the tactical cultivation was actually very average.

In desperation, Mo had no choice but to hand the ball to Ryan, who was let go by Link. Gomez. But Link quickly rushed back to Gomez, and the speed of the change of defense was so fast that Gomez was not given the slightest chance!

Ryan. Gomez was once considered a successful second-round pick, and his college career was actually extremely impressive, but because of his "no three, no four" positioning, he was not picked by the Celtics until the second round.

However, Gomez quickly showed his talent after entering the league, and he quickly adapted to the transition from the fourth to the third position, and followed the team's big brother Paul. Pierce learned a lot.

In the second season of his career, Gomez averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, which is a very good result for a second-round pick.

It's a pity that because he once hinted in an interview that the Celtics were deliberately rotten, Gomez, a guy who didn't speak through his brains, was used by Angie as one of the bargaining chips to exchange for Garnett.

After leaving the Green Shirts, Gomez embarked on a wandering career, and his progress gradually slowed. It wasn't until he wandered to the Clippers this year that he directly became a negative growth. This season, his points per game, rebounds per game and shooting percentage per game have all fallen to career lows.

Gomez fantasizes about regaining the glory of his Celtic days every day, so his mind is full of maneuvers. This time, he saw Link hurriedly making up for it, and his footing was not stable, so he directly broke through with the ball, hoping to seize the scoring opportunity!

But Gomez is a little blindly confident in his speed, and the biggest drawback of a player like him who plays the No. 3 position is that he is not fast enough. Gomez lacks explosiveness, and his first step is really not good at the NBA-level No. 3 position.

Link reacted quickly and took a sideways step, blocking Gomez's path.

Once again, the Clippers' offensive attempt was blocked by the Grizzlies' defense!

Mo. Williams, Randy. Foye, Gomez and Griffin were all defended, and the Grizzlies' defense seemed too strong for the Clippers!

What the? Little Jordan, you say? Come on, that guy doesn't have any means to score other than dunks. Originally, Little Jordan was supposed to be a lottery show, but because the skills were too spicy during the trial, he fell into the second round.

The Clippers' offense came to a standstill, and no matter who stepped up, there was no way for them to score! Just as Gomez was hesitating who to pass the ball to, Link made a move.

Gomez, who was not paying attention to protecting the ball, was easily stealed by Link, and the Clippers made their second mistake in a row!

"The Clippers' offense is completely disorganized, they can't take out the Grizzlies on their own!" Kevin. Haaland patted his leg in annoyance, seemingly disappointed with the Clippers' performance.

But Hubi. Brin was not surprised, these two teams, from cultivation to strength, were not at the same level. It's just that the outside world looks too highly on the Clippers and too little on the Grizzlies, which will give the illusion that "these two teams are evenly matched".

Link personally holds the ball and advances, after all, he is the Grizzlies' second playmaker on the court after Conley. Link's relationship with Conley now is really a bit like Hill and Nash back then.

Outside the three-point line, Link beckoned to Randolph, and the big black bear immediately ran over to cover. If you go back two or three years, people don't believe that Randolph would honestly help a road option to set up cover.

But Memphis is such a magical place.

Once Randolph was in position, Link broke through with the ball himself. Although Gomez's attitude is positive enough, his defensive skills are still average. He was solidly blocked by Randolph, and Griffin had no choice but to make up for it in front of Link himself.

The misplaced defense was formed, and the cheers on the scene instantly became high!

"Here we are, Link and Blake. Griffin's counterpoint! Kevin. Harlan was thrilled, and I'm sure many fans who are following this game are as excited as he is.

The air seemed to be tense, and Link could clearly feel the atmosphere become subtle. Griffin stretched out his arms in front of Link, who was so strong that Link looked like a bunny next to a griffin.

This huge size difference made everyone think that Link must be very nervous. But in reality, Link's heart is calm.

Griffin's defense in his rookie season was far from good, and his defensive problems were more or less masked by Jordan Jr.'s presence.

But if you pull him out and play him, it will be like ripping off Griffin's last fig leaf on the defensive end.

Link began to calmly alternate between left and right hands on the dribble, and he was extremely calm in the face of the murderous champion. Griffin was afraid of Link's breakthrough, so he let him go a step away. You may not believe it when you say it, but now it is Griffin who is nervous.

Link suddenly broke through, as if he was about to accelerate! Griffin was so frightened that he immediately retreated, but in the next second, Link turned into a sudden throw and jumped directly!

Seeing this, Griffin immediately took a big step and sealed it, and being teased by Link really made him very unwilling!

But when Griffin sealed it, something even more embarrassing happened. His hands couldn't even touch the basketball, and he couldn't even hide Link's vision.

Kevin on the commentary stage. Harlan's mouth opened wide, and only after Link made a move did he burst out, "Okay...... It's so short, his arms are so short, there's no way to cover such a distance. ”

During the pre-game warm-up, Griffin stomped on the grizzly bears' sore foot, which was not athletic as a whole, with a slam dunk. And now, Link used a shot with a sudden rhythm to slash Griffin's pain points.

It is a virtue to reciprocate courtesy.

With little to no interference, Link's mid-range jumper hit the ground running. Griffin's little short hand...... It's hard to put into words. As a No. 4 position, Griffin's arm span is 7 centimeters shorter than Link's, which is really not enough in the NBA.

4-0, Link scored the Grizzlies' first four points and disrupted the Clippers' offense with two consecutive steals. His singles with Griffin are even more talked about by fans.

Griffin gritted his teeth, he had to stop that undrafted run!

But for the Clippers, this was just the beginning of a nightmare.
