545: A warm welcome from an old friend

Little Jordan was so angry that it was supposed to be his performance moment, but he was forced to steal the limelight by Link.

Inexplicably, it became Link's backdrop. If Paul hadn't comforted him in time, it is estimated that Jordan Jr. would have had an explosive mentality before the game began.

Paul did serve Link, and at that distance, although he was unguarded, he still couldn't shoot 100% if he wanted to. If it were Paul himself, he probably wouldn't dare to play like that.

If you don't make that shot, it will be a shame.

However, Link is just so bold. He just dared to stand there with the ball in his hand and bet $100,000.

There are many stars in the league, but this kind of domineering is not something that everyone has......

Paul was starting to get a little uneasy, and the confidence he had built up in the previous round was a little shaken.

Still, Paul told himself that a warm-up is a warm-up, and a game is a game. Link can do that kind of amazing thing when he's warming up, but he doesn't necessarily have to be in great shape in the game.

The Clippers are desperately trying to get out of the Nuggets, but not to be a foil for the Grizzlies!

In the stands, the fans are still talking about what happened just after the warm-up, and on the commentary stand, the comic trio is also talking about what just happened from time to time.

"Link's dominance over the Federal Express Arena is unshakable, and he doesn't allow anyone to go wild, even if it's just a warm-up. This kind of player is usually very scary! In their eyes, the home field is not to be offended" Barkley looked serious, although it was only a small episode in the warm-up, but he saw the desire to win in the heart of the number 0.

Just warming up isn't enough, Charles. Barkley can't wait to see how Link will make Jordan Jr. dull in official games.

Finally, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee urged both sides to start and get ready, and the game began immediately.

Link stood near the halfway line and pressed his legs. Next to him was Matt. Brown, who had just scored 30 points and 10 rebounds in the last game. Barnes.

Little Jordan glanced at Link when he stepped into the middle circle, his eyes were naturally not very friendly, and Link said angrily, "Look at basketball, otherwise the ball will be taken away, don't say you didn't see it clearly." ”

Matt on the side. When Barnes heard this, he turned his head to stare at Link, but he didn't expect that Link would immediately turn his head to look at him.

"Look at what? Comments? Link pointed at Barnes with his chin.

Little Jordan thought to himself, Link is finished. In the whole league, few people dared to talk to Barnes like that. Barnes is similar to Stephenson with the Pacers, and if he were a teammate, you'd love him. If it's an opponent, you'll definitely hate him because he's never soft on his opponents.

However, to Jordan Jr.'s surprise, Barnes didn't say a word in the face of Link's provocation!

Of course, he didn't know how badly Barnes had been cleaned up in that 68-win battle. To be exact, two years ago, when Barnes was still playing for the Lakers, he was so angry with Link's trash talk that he bled out.

Barnes decided to put up with it and then split it on the pitch. And little Jordan, who lost his "shelter", didn't pester Link anymore, he was already embarrassed enough today.

In this way, the Clippers were temporarily suppressed. With just one sentence, Link made both Barnes and Jordan Jr. obediently bow their heads.

A third-grader, at the Federal Express Arena, has established supreme authority.

The referee stepped into the center circle, and Jordan Jr. and Gasol bent their knees ready to jump. Paul moved his arms, constantly reminding himself how difficult it was for the Clippers to get to this point. Can't give up, must not give up!

The basketball jumped into the air, and the arms of Gasol Jr. and Jordan Jr. were intertwined. In the end, Jordan Jr. still took the lead in basketball, and the Clippers attacked first!

Paul held his breath and watched Jordan Jr. being shown by Link during the warm-up, as the leader of the Clippers, Paul naturally wanted to stand up for Jordan Jr.

So in this first attack, Paul showed great aggression. Although he handed the ball to Billups, who played in the second position, as soon as he passed the half, Paul's pace did not stop after the ball.

Billups plays the No. 2 spot with the Clippers, but he's actually an FMVP-level playmaker. With him there, Paul can put the playmaking thing aside for a while and focus on scoring!

The Clippers' dual-point guard lineup can be said to be so luxurious that it makes people drool.

As soon as Paul ran out of space, Billups' pass arrived! The cooperation between these two people is very tacit, and their thoughts are highly unified.

Paul received the ball and accelerated to the left, but when Conley followed, Paul turned to the right in front of him.

Of course, Paul knew that Conley wasn't that easy to mess with. Before spping up, Paul also took the initiative to lean towards Conley. After carrying Conley, Paul "shifted" to speed up!

"Chris. Paul managed to break through Mike. Conley, the matchup between the two league's top point guards is pleasing to the eye! ”

As soon as O'Neal finished speaking, Paul faced Gasol and threw the ball to the basket after the breakaway.

Everyone thought it was a throw, and it wasn't until Little Jordan's "Roshan" rose up behind Gasol that people reacted, it was an aerial relay!

I saw the basketball go over Gasol Jr.'s fingertips and fall behind him. And little Jordan, who was temporarily let go by Gasol Jr., received the basketball with both hands and easily completed the heavy dunk!

As soon as it opened, Jordan Jr. responded to Link with a dunk! And unlike the performance just now, this is a violent buckle in actual combat!

"Beautiful goal, that's the charm of the empty city! Gasol was fine defensively and his choice to make up the defence was the right decision. In fact, Gasol has also blocked Paul's pass to the center. But it can't be helped, the passing route of Paul and Jordan Jr., in the sky! ”

Little Jordan is cool now, and after landing on the ground, he looks up to the sky and roars. He said that Gasol is the best defensive player in history, and it is not difficult to score on Gasol's head!

The opening dunk kept the Clippers' morale rising. Paul had a faint smile on his face, and it didn't seem to be as difficult as he imagined to score points on the grizzly bear's head.

"Don't worry, I'll get it back sooner or later. Don't panic, let's keep going. ”

Link picked up the basketball on the ground and handed it to Gasol Jr., who was in charge of serving the ball. By the way, he also said some words of encouragement to Gasol.

Gasol nodded, he didn't panic. In this alliance full of birds and beasts, this is not the first time that Gasol Jr. has been shown athletic ability by others. But not once, those jumping men could beat him!

The boost in the Clippers' morale was immediately evident defensively.

The Clippers were working very defense, and Link could clearly feel the anger in the hearts of the Clippers players.

Barnes was no exception, and when he was first scolded by Link, although he didn't speak, he was definitely angry.

Now, all this anger is vented by Barnes with small actions.

Grabbing the jersey and tugging on the arm, these are all pediatrics. Barnes even gave Link a dark elbow when he was in position, and Link felt pain in his chest for several seconds before he recovered.

With Link unable to catch the ball, Conley's mid-range shot unfortunately hit the iron. Link knew that Conley must not be having a good time either. After all, Paul was also a "wicked man" in the truest sense of the word.

In the opening game, the Clippers succeeded! Now they firmly believe that they have really improved! After the baptism of the previous round, they are no longer the Los Angeles Clippers who were ravaged by the Grizzlies during the regular season.

The Clippers continued to attack, and this time, Paul relented a lot. He started trying to stop the attack unhurriedly, and he started trying to control the tempo!

"He's such a bold guy that he's trying to lead the Grizzlies by the nose at the Federal Express Arena." Barkley admires Paul, Paul dares to try this, either the Clippers are really strong today, or Paul is crazy! In either case, Barkley is on the way.

Paul pretended to break through, but in reality, the real point of attack was at Barnes!

Barnes gave Link a nudge and quickly ran to the bottom left corner.

Although pushed away by Barnes, Link reacted quickly and prepared to chase the defense.

However, in the next second, the hard and black little Jordan was sideways in front of Link, covering without the ball!

Little Jordan didn't give Link a good fruit to eat, and when he came into contact with Link, his upper body secretly strained, which was equivalent to crashing directly into Link. It's just that the action of sinking the shoulders is not so obvious, so the referee didn't see it.

Jordan Jr.'s upper body strength is very scary, and although Jordan Jr.'s skills are rough, he is indeed a player with amazing physical fitness. was hit by Little Jordan, and Link was directly knocked to the ground!

In the end, Link could only be seen on the floor where Barnes received Paul's breakaway shot and then shot an open three-pointer.

In the last game, Barnes made 6 of 7 three-pointers and scored 30 points, directly killing the Nuggets. Today, Barnes' hot hand is still the same.

The arc of the basketball is not high or uneven, just right. In the end, a "wave" exploded in the Grizzlies' restricted area.

Barnes raised his right hand and stared viciously at Link lying on the ground, as if to announce that he had won.

"The confrontation between the two sides was fierce, and the fight was overwhelming as soon as it started. The Clippers are 5-0, and this is a really unexpected start. "Kenny. Smith is very optimistic about the Clippers, and he was impressed by the tenacity of the Clippers in the first round.

Conley and Iguodala ran up and pulled Linkla up. Link was also a little helpless, and at the beginning of the game, he was warmly welcomed by the Clippers' "old friends".

Link couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he was too irritating them?

No, Link didn't have the ball in this game at all!

The real excitement hasn't come yet, I'm afraid the Clippers can't stand it!

In the next round, Conley was stealed by Paul before he could pass the ball. Taking advantage of this fast break opportunity, Paul assisted Griffin to split the dunk with one hand, and the Clippers scored three cities in a row!

At this point, the Clippers beat the Grizzlies to a 7-0 start!

Little Jordan actively rushed up to touch Griffin's chest, what the best defensive player, what is the rising superstar, all bluffing! The end of the Memphis Grizzlies is here!

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies took the lead in calling a timeout. Link walked off the court cross-legged, a little impatient.

I haven't touched the ball yet, so you're in a hurry and happy with a hammer!
