654: You don't hit people in the face

In the first round of the bout, Link put on a brazen performance at Staples.

He first took off vertically to steal Paul's high ball to Jordan Jr., and then chased down Paul and Jordan Jr. in the air to change hands and dunk violently.

At home of the Clippers, the games are usually played in a flashy manner. Today, Link continues the Clippers' flamboyant style at the Staples Center. But obviously, Clippers fans can't cheer for such gorgeousness.

Link scored a goal and rushed to Bill. Simmons' roar was also recorded by the camera.

Soon, the on-site photographer gave Bill. A close-up of Simmons' face. I saw that Simmons's confident expression before was gone, and he was still smiling, but very reluctantly.

This may be Bill. Simmons has faced the most arrogant opponents in his career. Ordinary football stars generally don't compete with a reporter, and even if they do, they complain a few words on social media.

It's rare for a player to raise a bar in front of another public figure in public, after all, it is really bad for the image.

But Link clearly doesn't care about that, he and the Grizzlies are already a big villain in the eyes of people. And even if Link intends to maintain his image, he is still the number one player in the league who is not easy to mess with.

As a result, Link simply didn't bother to scruple so much. Anyway, the image of his villain is solid, so it is better to have a direct showdown.

"Link does have a lot of personality, he's different from most Chinese players who play in the NBA. However, the game has just begun, and a dunk and a steal are not enough for the Grizzlies to win the game. ”

Bill. Simmons straightened his bow tie and calmed down a little. The game has just begun, and it's not certain who will have the last laugh.

Paul was even more angry than Simmons at this time, obviously trying to give the Grizzlies a dismount, but they didn't know that Link came to kill him.

It seems that against the Grizzlies, there is no way to score with that kind of simple pick-and-roll. In the second round, Paul was clearly a lot more cautious.

CP3 is in the top five of ESPN's 50 superstars rankings for the new season, and is the only point guard in the top five.

In Delong. With Williams gradually lonely, CP3 is almost the only one in the league of point guards. And a superstar-level point guard has a way of creating scoring opportunities.

This time, Paul still called for pick-and-roll. As in the first leg, Gasol was ready to switch to Paul at any time.

But this time, Paul didn't give Gasol a chance to change the defense. He accelerated the breakthrough the moment the block was formed, and then used his superb dribbling skills to burst through the gap between Conley and Gasol!

This kind of breakthrough not only requires speed, but also has to dribble the ball with all the strength of the sprint, which can be said to be very difficult.

After Paul broke through with his outstanding individual ability, he threw a shot in a stoppage.

In the absence of defense, Paul's mid-range shots were almost 100 shots. His shooting was solid, and when he saw Paul shooting, Link seemed to see the green shooting bar on Paul's head.

"Brush!"

In the second round of the offense, the Clippers were ashamed. CP3 is unwilling to accept the defeat again, and if there is anyone who wants to break the Grizzlies' undefeated golden body now, it is Paul!

Bill. Simmons immediately let out a sigh of relief, but fortunately Paul responded in time, otherwise he would have died of nervousness!

As it turns out, the Clippers will fight hard today, too, and Link can't easily kill the game.

Bill. Simmons has even figured out a lot of Dark Link's bad jokes, and now he's waiting for the Clippers to win!

However, it didn't take long for the Clippers players to rejoice before they were hit again.

This time, Link used his individual abilities to break through Dudley. Dudley is tough and experienced. But in the absolute speed gap, none of this is useful.

No matter how good the defensive sense is, you must have a body that can match it. No matter how good your consciousness is, your body can't keep up, it's all in vain.

As soon as Link broke through, he attracted the siege of the Clippers three! After the Raptors lost to the Grizzlies a few days ago, DeRozan's words have become a reality.

"Three men must be sent to defend him."

In the face of three strong big muscles, Link did not panic in the slightest. He suddenly took three slow steps in the original high-speed breakthrough, completely disrupting the Clippers' defensive rhythm.

Link seized the moment to push the ball hard and send it to Randolph, who was empty.

Randolph made a solid mid-range shot to give Blake a solid shot. Griffin regretted it. Back then, people said Griffin was the next super insider. But now in the fourth grade, Griffin is not to mention compared to benchmark figures like Garnett and Duncan.

Even when he beat Randolph, Griffin suffered almost every time.

Link's ability to create chances makes Bill. Simmons appreciated it very much, and if he hadn't been raising the bar with Link right now, Simmons would have probably just stood up and applauded Link.

Now, in an age where even most point guards have scoring as their number one goal. As a striker, I also know that it is quite difficult to read the game and organize the attack.

But Bill. Simmons never applauds his enemies, and if Link is wearing a Celtics jersey right now, maybe he can consider cheering twice.

Paul immediately realized that as long as Link was around, the Clippers would not be able to gain the slightest advantage. The Clippers' defense couldn't stop him, and the Clippers didn't seem to be too sure about it when they played against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies can no longer be described as balanced offense and defense, but are among the top in the league both offense and defense.

On the pitch, Paul's movements grew louder and louder. The rest of the Clippers were also affected, and the physical contact between the two sides increased. This game full of gunpowder was finally reflected in a strong confrontation.

The game was played into the final three minutes of the first quarter, by which time the Clippers were already six points behind the Grizzlies.

I don't know if it's because of Bill. The reason Simmons was there, Link was playing very excitedly today. From offense to defense, Link is the most aggressive guy.

Bill. Simmons saw that his palms were sweaty, and Link was right, but the consequences of annoying him were serious.

Simmons patted his chest before the game and said that the Clippers can overturn the Grizzlies, if the Grizzlies slaughter the Clippers today, where will his face and credibility go?

At this point, it's the Grizzlies' offensive round. Pitchside, Tony. Aaron is ready. The next time the ball dies, Link should be rested.

The person who is now guarding in front of Link has also changed from Dudley to Matt. Barnes. Barnes is in better physical condition than Dudley, but it has been proven in previous seasons that Barnes is far from effective at defending Link.

Link is not afraid of villain-type players because he is a villain himself.

This time, Barnes frowned. He knows that as long as Link continues to play, the Clippers will be on the back foot.

He's going to have to figure out a way to get Link off the break for as long as possible.

While thinking about it, Link exchanged hands with the second center Ezeli, who had mentioned high position, and then broke through.

Seeing Linkza come in, little Jordan was a little nervous. What kind of unbelievable moves will this guy use to attack the frame this time? An inexplicable sense of tension lingered in Little Jordan's heart.

Link was getting closer and closer to the basket, and he was fast, but after two or three steps, he was on the inside and jumping to the basket.

That's when Matt. Barnes stabbed it out. However, due to the delay just now, Barnes couldn't stop Link in the first place.

He could only jump on Link's side, and then, in the air, raised his left leg high.

Link was just about to shoot the ball, but suddenly he was hit in the face!

As a young player with a lot of experience, Link immediately felt that this power is definitely not something that ordinary confrontations can give!

It's intentional!

"!"

Link doesn't know who is so ruthless, as the saying goes, you don't hit people in the face! It's too unsophisticated to come directly to your face!

So Link smashed the basketball directly in the air in the direction where he was kicked, because he was suddenly hit, so Link reflexively closed his eyes, and he didn't know who he was smashing and whether he hit it.

Eventually, Link fell to the ground. In addition to the pain, Link soon felt a warm current flow from his eyes.

Link opened his eyes and found a hot liquid blocking his vision. He subconsciously reached out and wiped it, and found that his hands were all red.

The corners of his eyes opened.

In the case of strenuous exercise, a very large amount of blood can ooze out of even a small wound due to the rapid beating of the heart. At this time, the blood does not flow out, but spurts outward.

That's why even a small opening in a mixed martial arts match can be an exaggerated bloody face.

What's more, Link feels that his opening is not small.

"It was a bad foul! Matt. Barnes actually kicked Link in the head in the air, did he think he could hide it!? "Jeff. Van Gundy stood up angrily, and while he wasn't a Grizzlies fan, he definitely wouldn't agree with Barnes' actions.

Barnes clutched his head and crouched on the ground in pain. He didn't expect that Link would be able to accurately smash the ball on his head even after being kicked......

What a hard guy to mess with!

The crowd immediately gathered around, and the team doctor also entered and began to check on Link's injuries.

The scene was a little out of control, and a few calm players and referees were maintaining order. And more people glared at each other angrily, as if as long as one person dared to move, a war would start at any time.

"Who is it? It's so unethical! Link got up, pushed through the crowd, and prepared to rush to the Clippers.

"It's Matt. Barnes, but you'd better stay out now, Link. Your wound is big and deep, and you have to go back to the locker room now to treat the wound. ”

The team doctor immediately took a clean towel and pressed Link's wound and dragged him off the court.

Subsequently, in order to control the situation, the referee also gave Barnes a second-degree malicious foul, and the Clippers' villain was sent off.

Seeing Barnes walk off the court, the Grizzlies players gave up and dispersed.

After this episode, the game resumed. Due to NBA rules that players are not allowed to play with bleeding wounds, Link did not return until the end of the first quarter.

Although a little unkind, Bill. Simmons still feels extremely lucky.

With Matt. Barnes for Link? No matter how you look at it, it's a powerful deal for the Clippers.

The Grizzlies' undefeated gold body may be really dangerous today.
