Link steals Griffin's dunk and silences the entire Staples.

The Angelenos don't remember how many times that Grizzlies 0 sent Staples into a panic this season. First he was death-coiled to strangle Kobe, and now he was stealing Griffin and slamming him on the head.

Suddenly, these Los Angeles fans remembered what Kobe Bryant had said.

"It would be an insult to me if Link couldn't be an All-Star."

In this way, Kobe Bryant was right. He didn't lose to a general, he lost to an All-Star starting forward!

After that shot, the Grizzlies stretched the margin to three points. In the last round, Griffin failed to add to the Clippers' score.

When Griffin saw that the Grizzlies were sending Guy to play the No. 4 position, he thought his chance to wreak havoc on the basket had come. However, it turns out that whether you can get an opponent or not depends on his height and weight alone.

This time, the violent buckle after being snatched seems to have ignited the "lead" in Griffin's heart.

"If the Grizzlies want to overwhelm us offensively, we have to be the first to do it. Brace yourself guys, and give the Grizzlies a taste of being broken defensively. Seeing that his teammates' morale was a little low, Paul shouted encouragement.

Paul and Link have no personal vendettas, and although he was beaten by Link last season, Paul is not so vindictive.

And because of Kobe Bryant's game, the two still have some nodding acquaintances. But Paul is a person with a very strong desire to win, and now that the Clippers are in such a hurry, and they just lost to the Lakers in the last game, Paul naturally wants to stop the decline. That's why Paul is so fierce today.

He knew very well that he couldn't do this kind of thing on his own. To do it, the whole team must do it with him! And to keep your teammates focused, you have to motivate them from time to time.

Paul is like a coach who comes on the pitch in a jersey and knows how to make a team better.

Seeing that the boss had spoken, the Clippers players naturally did not dare to slack off. They pressed up with a 3-point deficit and were still aggressive.

Griffin didn't ask for the ball again this time, and he knew he had to take his time. The game of basketball is a marathon, and neither temporary victories nor behind-the-scenes can determine the final outcome. Link's steal just now made Griffin know that the Grizzlies' forward line wasn't easy to deal with even without Randolph.

Griffin extinguished the burning fuse for the time being, but it was not certain that the thread would be rekindled.

Now, Chris. Paul was the center of attention. Whether he can regain his form in Game 2 after returning from injury will determine the ultimate fate of the Clippers.

Although Paul delivered 12 assists in the last game, he only scored 4 points and had a low shooting rate, and no number of assists could be washed away.

Today, after seeing Griffin being targeted, Paul decided to come forward. Didn't he just manage to score a goal on Conley's head?

Paul repeated his old trick and called for cover. But this time, instead of going from the side with cover, he deliberately accelerated to the side without cover!

Paul was baptized by injuries, but he was still fast! You must know that Paul was completely healthy, but he competed with Kobe Bryant and Garnett for MVP in the third grade. Paul ended up second in the MVP voting that year, and the number of votes was not much worse than Kobe.

Such a terrifying player, even after an injury, is still a top defender with the fastest first step!

Paul managed to break through, and Conley had to try to chase it back and be on the lookout for his pull-up jumper at any time.

As a result, this time, Paul did not make a quick stop, but went directly into the penalty area, and then threw a shot!

Conley was caught off guard again, and Gasol Jr., who was guarding on the inside, immediately made up for the defense when he saw this, but to no avail.

A soft little throw from Paul allowed the basketball to leapfrog the Spanish homeless man in front of him and hollow into the net!

"Chris. Paul, he's a pinnacle! Seeing that the Grizzlies were about to get up, Paul pulled the Clippers back with his own hands. With only one point ahead for the Grizzlies, can they hold on? ”

This kind of competition is really about who has more perseverance. Whoever drops the chain first in this tough matchup will be thrown off.

The Clippers have Paul, who is extremely consistent on offense, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to drop the chain.

And just like that, the first quarter of the game ended in a back-and-forth of offense and defense. While Link's slam dunk on Griffin's head was much to talk about, the Grizzlies still only led the Clippers by three points after the first quarter.

Whenever the Grizzlies have a tendency to pull away from the score, Paul will immediately step up. Whether it's a pass, or a steady projection, it's always going to help you stay ahead.

At the start of the second quarter, both sides pulled off most of their main forces, with Link and Paul among them.

Griffin started to get grumpy in the second quarter, and he still scored a lot of points on the head of Spatz, who came off the bench, without Paul. Speights is nimble for most No.4 positions, but that advantage is missing out on Griffin.

And Speights' offensive ability also makes it impossible for him to eat Griffin alone like Guy.

Griffin's dunks again and again allowed him to gradually regain his confidence, and at the same time, it also allowed the Clippers players to find confidence. It was as if he was finally going to start making a name for himself.

But at this juncture, Hollins interrupted Griffin's performance very "unsympatheticly". At this point, just four minutes into the second quarter, Hollins decided to send out his main team!

Link, Tony. Allen and Guy both returned, and the Clippers also sent Paul to stabilize the situation.

Hollins switched defensive tactics again this time and he put Tony Brown. Allen personally keeps an eye on Paul, telling Link to keep an eye on Griffin.

"You're going to have more contact with Blake, but I need you to stay calm, Link. But if you have the chance...... You can try to make Griffin uncool. Before going on the court, Hollins pulled Link and whispered a few words.

Looking at the thief smile on Hollins' face, Link nodded silently.

You old bad guy!

"Blake. Griffin's performance in these rounds was very good, and Randolph and Speight's approach of pairing up on the inside didn't seem to be working. Now, Coach Hollins has brought Rudy. Guy. Hopefully, he can continue to play in the first quarter. ”

Griffin thought the time was almost up, and he barely attacked in the first quarter since he was tackled by Link because he felt he had to slow down first. But now, after he got a few dunks on Speight's head and regained his confidence, Griffin decided his chance had come.

The top picker has become positive again, but he doesn't want to play alone with Guy in the low post. This time, Griffin covered Paul's side, and immediately dismantled after the cover and cut into the basket!

Link saw this pick-and-roll appear, and just abandoned Caron. Butler, go straight to Griffin.

Sure enough, in the next second, Paul passed! This kind of covering attack between him and Griffin, Link doesn't know how many times he has watched it!

But if you reach out directly, Link will most likely not touch the ball. So, Link jumped forward suddenly, like a goalkeeper on a football field, and threw the basketball that was still flying under him!

"Snatched again!? What kind of weird steal is this!? "Kenny. Smith was stunned, this Nima is blocking the shot, and Link's kid is on the wrong set.

Link didn't expect the action to turn out like this, because the only thing on his mind at the time was that the ball couldn't be sent to Griffin. If Griffin receives the ball, Conley can't stop him from wreaking havoc on the basket just by switching his guard.

In desperation, Link reflexively made a move to fall to the ground and "save". In hindsight, Link was embarrassed.

But regardless of whether the action is conventional or unconventional, at least this time, Link can be regarded as stopping the Clippers' offense. On the ground, Link encounters Caron. Butler's crazy robbery. However, Link clung to the basketball, and eventually Caron. Butler only got one jump with Link.

The result of the jump ball was that Link kept the ball, and Butler after a major knee injury was no longer the all-round small forward who could fly away. Link wanted to jump over him, and it wasn't that hard.

", that's bad luck!" Griffin scolded angrily, and Link's steal made all the ducks in his hands fly away.

"Really good defending, Link interrupted Griffin's momentum as soon as he came up. Although the two did not face each other today, their confrontation was extraordinarily exciting. The Grizzlies attack, let's see what the Grizzlies do. ”

What else can I do, Guy continues to fight Griffin. Griffin was pulled out of the middle distance by Gay, and Jordan Jr. was led by the nose by Gasol Jr.

Just when everyone thought Guy was going to dry up again, he suddenly passed the ball to Link. Link had already cut in at this point, and Caron, who had slowed down a lot. Butler is powerless!

At this point, Griffin and Jordan Jr. were not in the box, and Link easily dunked the ball in. The Grizzlies still led by three points, and Griffin ate another deflated.

That guy scored again!

The speed at which the lead burns is accelerating.

"Beautiful dunk, Link has played so far, with 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Blake, on the other hand, also had eight points, plus four rebounds and one assist. It seems that today Link Griffin is indistinguishable. ”

"No distinction between the middle and the uncle?" Buckley hears Kenny. Smith's remarks, smiling slightly, "Look closely, Griffin won't be able to catch the ball." ”

Griffin was originally going to use the off-ball cover to shake off Guy, but as soon as he shook it off, Link switched over.

According to the tactics, Griffin was supposed to pass, but this time he finally got the singles Link to score, and Griffin didn't have time to be ashamed!

"Blake. Griffin slowed down, he's going to single Link in the low post! is coming, the official alignment of the two is finally long overdue!

Just as Griffin was riveting enough energy to eat Link alone, little Gasol raised his arms high and clamped up, double bag!

It's a defensive trap!

Cutting off the connection between Paul and the rest of the Clippers players, as a result, the Clippers' combat effectiveness will be surprisingly weak.

Take a look at Griffin's performance in the first few games before Paul's comeback, it was a big car accident scene.

Griffin is not passing now, nor is he attacking. In the end, he could only lean on the left side of Link's basket to hook his hand.

But with the help of Gasol Jr., Griffin's hook only added one rebound to Link's stats.

"Without Chris, you can't play good numbers at all." After getting the rebound, Link didn't forget to spray a trash word at Griffin, and this sentence completely burned out the lead in Griffin's heart!

"Boom!", Griffin finally exploded on the spot.

Griffin angrily shoved Link, and the scene immediately became chaotic!

Link staggered back a few exaggerated steps, then sat down on the ground with an innocent face. So in the next second, the referee immediately gave Griffin a technical foul without hesitation!

Griffin ignites the powder keg, but in the end, he still injures himself.

Randolph, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at Link, who was in great pain a second ago, and saw Griffin get up immediately after eating T. Link's acting is so similar, it's so shameless!

Link managed to spur Griffin on it, and the repeater is now completely broken. The Grizzlies' defense also managed to cut Paul's ties to the rest, which left Paul with his own offense.

But does Paul, who has just returned from injury, have what it takes to carry the Grizzlies' offense?

That's going to be a big question mark.

Hollins applauded happily, and his odds of winning had improved quite a bit.
