Chapter 265 (1/2)
Link snatched Griffin's one-stop smash and silenced staples.
Los Angeles people can't remember, this is the grizzly bear No. 0 this season for the first time to panic staples. First, death will strangle Kobe, and now it's going to be Griffin and slam him on the head.
All of a sudden, these Los Angeles fans remembered one of Kobe's words.
”It would be a shame to me if link couldn't be an all star.”
So Kobe is right. He didn't lose to an average, he lost to an all star starting forward!
After the goal, the Grizzlies widened the gap to three points. Griffin missed the Clippers' scoring in the last round.
When Griffin saw that Griffin was sending guy to play number four, he thought he had a chance to wreak havoc on the basket. However, it turns out that it's not just about his height and weight that you can handle an opponent.
This time after being robbed, it seems that the ”lead” in Griffin's heart was ignited.
”If the Grizzlies want to suppress us by attacking, we have to take the lead. Cheer up, guys. Let the Grizzlies have a taste of the defense being broken Paul saw that the morale of his teammates was a little low, so he encouraged them.
Paul and link have no personal enmity, although last season was killed by link, but Paul is not so revengeful.
And because of Kobe's game, the two still have some nodding acquaintance. But Paul is a very strong desire to win, now the Clippers are so anxious, just lost to the Lakers last game, Paul is naturally very want to stop the decline. That's why Paul is so fierce today.
He knew very well that he couldn't do it by himself. To do, the whole team must do it with him! To keep your teammates focused, motivate them from time to time.
Paul is like a manager in a shirt who knows how to make a team better.
See boss all spoke, clippers naturally dare not slack off. They are up against the 3-point disadvantage to press up, still fierce.
Griffin didn't ask for the ball this time. He knew he had to be slow. Basketball game is a marathon, temporary victory and backwardness can not determine the final result. Just now link's steal is to let Griffin know that even without Randolph, the Grizzlies' attack is not easy to deal with.
Griffin temporarily snuffed out the burning wire, but it was not sure whether the wire would be ignited again.
Now Chris Paul is in the spotlight. The final fate of the Clippers will be determined by whether he can recover from the injury in the second game.
Although Paul sent out 12 assists in the last game, he only got 4 points and low shooting rate, which could not be washed out.
Today, after seeing Griffin targeted, Paul decided to step forward. Just now, didn't he succeed in scoring on Conley's head?
Paul does it again. Call for cover. But this time, he did not walk from the covered side, but deliberately accelerated to the unprotected side!
Although Paul has suffered the baptism of injury, but the speed is still very fast! You know, when Paul was completely healthy, he competed with Kobe and Garnett in the third grade for the existence of MVP. Paul finished second in the MVP vote that year, and the number of votes was no less than Kobe.
Such a terrible player, even after the injury, is still the first step speed top guard!
Paul's breakthrough, Conley can only do his best to chase back, and always on guard against his stop jump shot.
As a result, this time, Paul did not stop, but directly into the forbidden area, and then throw!
Conley was also hit by a surprise, in the interior guard of the small Gasol saw the situation immediately to make up defense, can not help.
Paul a soft small throw, let the basketball over in front of the Spanish tramp, hollow into the net!
”Chris Paul, he's such a tranquilizer! Seeing the Grizzlies coming up, Paul pulled the Clippers back. The Grizzlies are only one point ahead. Can they hold on? ”
This kind of competition is really who has more perseverance. Whoever loses the chain first in this tough fight will be thrown away.
The clippers have Paul who is extremely stable in attack, but it's hard to get them off the hook.
In this way, the first quarter of the game ended in your attack and defense. Although link's smash on Griffin's head is a favorite, the Grizzlies are still only 3 points ahead of the Clippers after the first quarter.
Whenever the Grizzlies have a tendency to open the score, Paul will stand up immediately. With the pass or the steady projection, in short, it can always help swim to keep ahead.
At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides withdrew most of the main force, including link and Paul.
Griffin in the second quarter began to become irritable, in the absence of Paul, he is still on the bench in the head of Spitz scored a lot of points. Spitz was flexible for most of the No. 4 positions, but this advantage disappeared in front of Griffin.And Spetz's offensive ability, also makes him unable to eat Griffin alone like guy.
Griffin dunks again and again, let him gradually find confidence, but also let the Clippers players find confidence. As if, at last, he was about to begin to correct his name.
But at this point, Hollins cut off Griffin's performance with a very ”ungrateful” attitude. At this point, the second quarter of the game just played four minutes, Hollins decided to send out his main force to play!
Link, Tony Allen and guy are all back, and the Clippers are sending Paul to stabilize the situation.
Hollins changed his defensive strategy this time. He let Tony Allen mark Paul himself and let link keep an eye on Griffin.
”You'll have more contact with Blake, but I need you to stay calm, link. But if there's a chance You can try to make Griffin less calm. ” Before the game, Hollins whispered a few words to link.
Link nodded silently as he watched the thief smile on Hollins' face.
You're a real jerk!
