Chapter 575: Dig your own pit and jump by yourself
After being tragically detained by Yiyang, the photographer at the scene gave Griffin a close-up of his face. At this point, the unstoppable expression on Griffin's face had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by embarrassment in capital letters.
How arrogant Griffin was yesterday, how embarrassed Griffin is at this time. obviously threatened to make Yiyang look good, but in the end, he was taught a lesson by Yiyang mercilessly.
In fact, if Griffin's arm span were longer, it might be difficult to complete the buckle just now. However, who made Griffin a veritable "Tyrannosaurus Rex"? His short arms have become his biggest weakness.
After the successful dunk, countless Mavericks fans held up the signs they had prepared. On the sign, fans made letters out of colorful paper cutouts and spelled out a simple sentence.
"Who is being beaten up now? Big star Griffin! ”
With the laughter of the fans, the accusations from the media, the contemptuous glances of his opponents, and the disappointed expressions of his teammates, Griffin looked at everything around him and wanted to find a hole to dig into.
However, Griffin is not a goblin, and he does not have the ability to burrow in place. Even with humiliation, he had to finish the whole game.
After being detained by Yiyang, Griffin obviously "settled" a lot. On the offensive end, he no longer dared to dunk at every turn. The experience of being blocked by Gobert and dunking is still lingering in his mind at this time.
Defensively, Griffin didn't dare to take anyone lightly anymore. Yiyang's dunk made him suddenly understand that his defense didn't seem to be omnipotent.
Griffin's proud fireworks have been extinguished by Yiyang, and at this time he is just a timid, ignorant and panicked big man.
Griffin's sudden downturn undoubtedly gave Nowitzki a chance. Dirk used his turnaround jumper in the second quarter to kill all sides, and Griffin seemed to be back in his rookie season. At that time, he was helpless against Dirk. Four years later, he still doesn't have a good deal to do with Nowitzki.
It seems that Yi's dunk has brought a lot of psychological pressure to Blake, and look, he actually let Dirk turn around and break through so easily. The enthusiasm of the first quarter of the game is completely gone! "After Yiyang completed the slam dunk, Mike. Brin was looking forward to seeing how Griffin would fight back. As everyone knows, this big white man has lost confidence.
If it was just Yiyang who was blocked by Griffin, Mike. Brin believes that Yiyang at this time will definitely do his best to save face. But what about Griffin? He always seemed to be trying to escape.
So at the end of the second quarter, Chris. Paul had to turn on individual attacking mode. However, as I said before, when Paul turned on the scoring mode, it just showed that the Clippers' offense was wrong!
56-43, Yiyang's smash broke the balance of the game. With a 13-point lead at halftime, I have to say that this game is really "calf".
Use an impregnable defense to suppress the opponent's score, and then rely on Yiyang's subtle organization to improve your score. Double-digit leads in the first half of the game is a common occurrence for the Mavericks.
At the end of the half, the players from both sides temporarily returned to the locker room. Yiyang, who was silent at first, was talking and laughing with his teammates at this time, while the menacing Griffin had already lowered his head.
"The second quarter seemed to turn a little too fast, and no one expected the game to turn out like this. How about Shaq? Do you think Griffin could still make a comeback in the second half? ”
In the face of Barkley's inquiry, O'Neill did not answer at a rare sight, but spread his hands. Griffin's performance made O'Neill choose to be silent.
If it weren't for going against Barkley, O'Neill would have answered.
"Blake, that kid, there's no more of a chance!"
※※※
"Blake! The game isn't over yet, and you already want to give up!? In the away team locker room at the U.S. Route Center, Rivers' unpleasant duck voice was particularly harsh in the quiet environment.
"Give up? Of course I didn't! Griffin replied in a panic, like a little boy whose secret had been known to others.
"Then why are you so scared? It's just a one-person dunk, and maybe now the fans have forgotten about that one-person dunk. Stop dwelling, Chris, and continue to play the ball inside in the second quarter. Blake, I want you to keep attacking, believe in yourself, the opponent is just a veteran and a rookie guarding the inside! ”
It seems that Rivers is still immersed in the smooth interior offense of the Clippers in the first quarter of the game. But in fact, since Gobert came on the court, the Clippers' interior offense has been stumbling.
The former Green Shirts championship coach seems to have taken Nowitzki and Gobert's defense too lightly.
Although Griffin's morale has now been greatly reduced, he has to listen to the manager's arrangement. In the second half of the game, I had to bite the bullet.....
While Clippers fans staring at TV in Los Angeles were expecting Griffin to make a comeback in the second half of the game, Rudy Brown. Gobert's unkind block shattered their fantasies.
As soon as the second half began, Griffin swept past Nowitzki with a quick turn and went straight to the basket.
But Rudy. Goebel's movement speed was obviously much faster than Griffin expected, such a big man could run so fast, what kind of monster was he!
But there is still a trace of luck in Griffin's heart, maybe he can score this goal himself? Maybe this ball will make a foul!
But Gobert's ruthless palm was specially born to stifle the illusion of the opponent. As soon as Griffin jumped to the basket, Gobert straightened his arm and easily blocked the basketball, and then pushed the basketball out of Griffin's palm.
Gobert's photograph of Griffin has been forever preserved by countless sports reporters with their high-definition cameras, and you can clearly see how weak Griffin's short hand is in front of Gobert's long arms.
Obviously, Griffin is the one who jumps higher, but because of the disadvantage of his arm, he can only swallow the bitter fruit of suffering.
The first offense was blocked as soon as it came up, and it was a huge blow to both the players and fans of the Clippers.
It had only been his first assault and Griffin was already sweating profusely. Of course, he didn't sweat because he was too tired, but because he was too embarrassed!
Before the start of the game, many Los Angeles fans were interested in Rudy. Gobert's knowledge of the person is limited to knowing the name. But after today's game, it is believed that Gobert will have a high profile in the "City of Angels".
Yiyang took the basketball and pressed forward unhurriedly. Now that the pace of the game has been completely controlled by the Mavericks, how to play is simply as you want!
Yiyang excitedly changed hands two times in a row outside the three-point line, which made the Clippers' defense tense up instantly, and they all thought that Yiyang was going to break through.
But Yiyang handed the ball to Iguodala with a back pass after the third change of hands, and he was the end!
No, Iguodala drew the ball in the head of Dudri after attracting the defense. Tony cut in. Allen received the basketball steadily and made a layup in three steps.
Compared with the Clippers' "constipated" offense, the Mavericks' offense is very fluid. Every pass is very subtle.
However, the Clippers' offense is not good and Paul's organization is not to blame, if it is to blame, it is to blame that the person who finished the offense did not dare to be resolute and strong.
At this point, the game has taken on a one-sided edge. With Paul here, the Mavericks naturally can't stretch the margin wide. But the Clippers were also unable to equalize the score.
The game seemed to be in suspense, but in fact the score difference hardly changed.
It wasn't until the ninth minute of the fourth quarter that Gobert fouled Griffin, and after Griffin stepped up to the free throw line and hit two free throws, he barely managed to score 15 points today. And 15 points is not a little different from the three or forty points that Griffin said.
By this time, the ratings for this game had already begun to plummet. Countless Los Angeles fans have turned off their televisions and stopped expecting anything from their big stars.
Yesterday's talk show? It was meant to be an entertainment show. They assumed that it was Griffin who made a big joke on the show.
The most three minutes of the game, Chris. Paul had some momentum to be the savior. However, the Mavericks' outside defense is not something that Paul can break if he says he will be defeated.
When the electronic beep sounded to signify the end of the game, Griffin was the first to leave the court. He refused all interviews from reporters, which is not unlike the smug appearance he had before the start of the match.
"15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 37 percent shooting. I have to say, Blake's personal data is really miserable! If he had known in advance that he was fighting like this, maybe he wouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke him a few days ago. I have to say that it is really humiliating to take the initiative to provoke others and then not be able to beat others! "After the game, Barkley's big mouth was open-mouthed. He won't give face to anyone, not even Griffin, who has been very popular lately.
Blake previously said that the Mavericks are still first in the West because they didn't meet the Clippers. I think it needs to be changed, and the reason why Griffin played so well in the first three games was because he didn't meet the Dallas Mavericks. O'Neal's views today are surprisingly aligned with Barkley's, which shows that Griffin has come to the point where no one wants to speak for him.
After the game, the Clippers players didn't say hello to any Mavericks players, and Rivers didn't shake Carlisle's hand.
But it doesn't matter, the victory of the game is the most important thing.
Griffin was sullen in the locker room, and if he was happy now, it would be strange. This 09-year-old champion doesn't even dare to take out his mobile phone now, he can't imagine what he has been scolded by fans and the media at this time.
As soon as Yiyang returned to the locker room, he took out his mobile phone and received a photo sent to him by Mougin.
This photo was taken by Mougins on the sidelines just now, and the content is the moment when Yiyang separated Griffin.
Looking at this photo, Yiyang smiled. He simply opened Twitter, and sometimes, he had to update a few updates.
Thus, a viral tweet was born that was retweeted by thousands of people.
"Congratulations Blake. Griffin, he's in the highlight reel again! ”
Under this sentence, Yiyang was accompanied by a photo sent to him by Mougin. This sarcasm was enough to make Griffin's pitted face flush with anger.
Don't you want to respond, Blake? Now, the response has arrived!
