Blake. Griffin is definitely the most high-profile rookie of the year, not one of them. The same is the champion show, John. Wall's popularity may not even be half that of Griffin.

That's the advantage of playing in big cities, where the rookies in Los Angeles always get more attention than the rookies of other teams. Of course, Blake. Griffin's own strength is indeed one of the reasons why he has attracted attention this year.

Averaging 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, it's hard to imagine that this is actually a first-year rookie's stats. Since the beginning of the 21st century, no rookie in the NBA has scored a terrible 20+10 in his first season. And back in the 90s, the people who could do this were legendary insiders like Duncan, Mourning, and O'Neill.

Terrible data coupled with a strong style of play, this kind of rookie is not popular, who can be popular?

When Link sees Blake. There were even a few sporadic cheers from the Federal Courier Center as Griffin walked onto the court, and the guy's popularity was so high that there was no shortage of followers even in Memphis.

Griffin is extremely physically strong, and he even fought in college. His facial features are sharp and rough. Not to mention the guy's name, the word "griffin" means "griffon" in English. This ferocious creature that can do everything from heaven to earth is a perfect match to describe Griffin. His fierce image is enough to deter most rookies.

In the warm-up stage, I don't know if it was to attract fans or to give Link a dismount, Griffin also talked to Mo. Williams came with an empty dunk!

This scene made the Grizzlies players a little embarrassed, after all, since Rudy. After Gay was reimbursed for the season, the Grizzlies had no players on the team who could dunk.

Griffin: This is grabbing the grizzly bear's sore feet and stomping on it! As if he was mocking the Grizzlies' bunch of floor streams......

", he's really thinking of himself as Tim. Duncan, huh!? Son of a bitch, if I let him dunk like this today, I'll swallow the basketball! ”

Watching the reporters focus all their cameras on the rookie striker, Randolph began to curse again. Link smiled reassuringly when he saw Randolph's reaction.

The Grizzlies have just lost four in a row recently, and everyone is holding their breath, and everyone is eager to sink the Clippers to stop the loss. Griffin's untimely pregame performance only raised the anger level of everyone on the Grizzlies even further.

Most rookies in the league will definitely be under great pressure before the game when they face this champion who can average 20+10 per game. But Link didn't, and he felt relaxed about playing against the champions.

Griffin is only "fake ferocious", and Randolph is a real beast. Despite its formidable appearance, the griffin is not fierce or cruel by nature. But the angry big black bear, that's a truly deadly existence.

At this point, an ESPN reporter walked up to Link. As is customary, it's time for pre-match sideline interviews.

Link faces the camera with a smile on his face, and he can guess with his toes what question this reporter will ask.

"Link, you're going to be nervous about facing this year's Rookie of the Year?"

Sure enough, the reporter's question was not what Link expected.

"I'm going to take this fight seriously, after all, that guy is just too strong."

"He's a rookie who can be selected for the All-Star Game in his first rookie season since Yao Ming, and anyone will be nervous about him."

"Of course I'm nervous, I just pray that I won't be held back by him today."

Reporters must be eager to hear Link's answer like this, to put it bluntly, they came to interview Link for the sole purpose of highlighting Griffin's strength from the side, and let fans see how awe other rookies are for Griffin.

But Link didn't follow the reporters' wishes, "This is our home court, and it should be the Clippers players who should be nervous." Every team is going to be nervous coming here, and the Clippers are no exception. As for Blake, he'll regret trying to provoke us during the warm-up. ”

"Huh!?" When the ESPN reporter heard Link's answer, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

This failed draft Nima is too inflated! Although he won the MVP of the rookie game, the real regular season is different from the All-Star Game!

In the rookie game, Griffin can give away the honor. But when it comes to the regular season, Griffin won't let out the water!

This Chinese lost the draft, did he take himself too seriously?

Watching the reporter's expression change from smug to surprised, Link left satisfied. With Randolph here, he's nervous. Thinking of Griffin's expression being driven crazy by Randolph later, Link thought it should be more exciting.

※※※

Before the game began, at least 80% of the cameras were on Griffin. This guy simply has his own traffic, and he can always be the most popular one whether home or away.

"Damn, isn't it just a rookie? What is there to shoot! ”

Randolph is still scolding, I have to say that this guy's jealousy is really heavy.

"Zach, you're not going to be locked up by him today, are you?" Link stood beside Randolph and made a joke.

"Me? Blocked by him? Bastard Link, don't you think I'm tough enough? Don't worry, I'll make that kid unable to jump today. If he dares to challenge me, I'll make him cry and go back to Los Angeles! ”

It can be seen that Randolph is really angry and angry. However, after seeing Randolph's reaction, Link was even more relieved. In this game, you can do a good job!

"The game started immediately, and the center forwards of both sides were already in the middle circle. Link vs. Griffin, the fans have finally waited for this long-awaited match. Although the two are not directly opposed, everyone is still eager to see who will perform better. Huby, who do you think can get the better numbers today? ”

On the commentary podium, Hubi. Brown and Kevin. Harlan has already started their work. When Old Man Hubi heard Harlan's question, he laughed and said nothing.

Griffin still wants to get the data? Thank goodness that kid was able to hold on until the end of the game without breaking down. Memphis is not as simple as they think.

The referee blew the whistle, and DeAndrew, who was only in the third year at this time. Jordan used his more powerful jumping ability to win the basketball on Gasol Jr.'s head. Mo. Williams pushes forward with the ball, and the game officially begins!

Mo. Williams walked through the halftime and realized something was wrong, what was going on with those Grizzlies guys? Why is it that everyone has fire in their eyes!

The Grizzlies, who have lost four in a row, are already bloodthirsty, and they will use their meat grinder-like defense to tear the Clippers' iron sheet to pieces! The Clippers players thought they were on the show again, but in reality, FedEx Arena was a brutal hunting ground. And the grizzly bear, surely it can't be the prey!

Mo. Williams saw that the formation was not right, and handed the ball to his teammate Randy in the second position as soon as the second half was over. Foye. Although Xiao Mo is nicknamed "Mo Buchuan" by Chinese fans, in fact, this guy has a lot of assists, and his average assists per game this season are as high as 6.6.

The origin of this nickname is mainly because of Mo. Williams didn't like to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian when he was with the Bucks, and was ridiculed by Chinese fans. But in fact in the Bucks, Mo. Williams is also averaging more than six assists per game.

Randy. As soon as Foye received the basketball, he felt like he had been slammed. Needless to say, it's Tony. Aaron pressed on.

Tony. Allen scored 28 points in the last game for the big cheek No. 3, and he was depressed for the past two days. Mr. Tony is looking for someone to vent to, and unfortunately Randy. Foye happened to hit the muzzle.

Tony. Allen pressed hard, and his pressing defense even made Randy. Fear arose in Foye's heart. So this guy didn't even dare to dribble, and directly handed the ball back to Griffin, who mentioned the mid-range catch!

"Here we are, Blake. Griffin catches the ball! Kevin. Harlan got excited, while Hubi on the side. Brown continued to laugh and remain silent.

Griffin's rookie season is actually more than just a dunk, his ability to break through with the ball is also relatively outstanding in the No. 4 position. There have been several dunks this season, all of which Griffin has dribbled to the basket himself.

Facing the chubby Randolph, Griffin also intends to solve the problem by breaking through with the ball. He made a tentative step with the ball, but Randolph was unmoved. Link secretly rejoiced in his heart, Griffin actually planned to fight Randolph alone, this guy has enough heads.

Griffin didn't hesitate any longer, and took a big step to pass past Randolph. Based on past experience, Griffin thinks he can get space for himself even with a hard top.

However, when he and Randolph collide, Griffin realizes how naïve he is. Colliding with Randolph is like hitting a strong bull! Instead of pushing Randolph away, Griffin stumbled himself!

The unsteady center of gravity Griffin only chooses to pass the ball when he stumbles, and his pass is to the nearest Clippers small forward Ryan. Gomez.

But the intention of the pass was too obvious, and Link just rightly reached out with his long arm to cut off Griffin's pass!

"The champion made a mistake, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!"

As he spoke, Conley had already pushed the ball beyond the three-point line, and he hit the ground and passed diagonally, sending the ball to Link, who was close behind after completing the steal. Link held the ball and went to the basket while Blake was on the move. Griffin quickly caught up as well. With his bouncing power, it's not hard to complete a chase risk!

But don't forget, Griffin's average number of blocks per game this season is less than 1......

Link flicked a shot to the basket, and Griffin literally flew over Link's head like a griffin. Under the basket, Link could even see Griffin's surprised expression.

The Griffin at this time was still too tender for Link, who had Hill's experience. Anything you want, you can shake it off. People only saw Griffin's dunks and ignored the fact that he wasn't smart defensively.

After shaking off the Griffin, Link tossed the basket and scored two points in an understatement. Link is like a hidden master, and with one hand behind his back, he can finish off the young and vigorous Griffin.

The fans in the Federal Express Arena cheered for this, their team was no backdrop for anyone!

Everyone thought Griffin was going to put on a show, but the Grizzlies unexpectedly scored first.

This is just the beginning, the result and the process of this game will be far from what people imagined.
