Chapter 554 (1/2)
During the break, link couldn't relax at all.
Unexpectedly, in the case of playing well, the Clippers still led by 2 points.
The Grizzlies swept the Rockets 4-0 before, compared with the Clippers 4-2 to finish the Nuggets, which can be said to have taken advantage, but it can also be said that there are certain disadvantages.
Advantage of course, needless to say, early end early rest, grizzly player's physical condition is certainly better than the Clippers.
But the disadvantage is that the Grizzlies didn't meet any resistance in the first round. The Clippers may be even better when it comes to athletic form.
In terms of these 12 minutes, the Clippers are really different from the regular season. They don't collapse quickly, and every player will try his best when he comes out.
In the playoffs, just ”playing well” is not enough to win the advantage. Link knew that he had to work harder in the second quarter.
”Link, in the second quarter, you transpose with igordala. You defend the number two position and let igordala defend Butler Just when link was at a loss, the marshal picked up the stool and went to link.
”Defensive speed players, you have the advantage. As long as Crawford doesn't pop up, our defense won't be in such a mess. I don't need you to lock him up completely, but it's hard to make him score every time
After listening, link nodded firmly. Iguodala is strong, but it's not omnipotent. Igordala's defense is strong, and he gives the opposite side the pressure is big, confronts the foot, is not easy to lose the position. Even hard steel James is no problem.
But Crawford's style is precisely through that dazzling dribbling and speed, to avoid physical confrontation. This free, street, romantic Crawford, elegant here.
He passed you before you could fight him. So it was a real headache for igorda to pick up Crawford.
But link is not afraid, because he and James have been recognized as the most versatile players in the League! And link's defense, also does not rely on confrontation. Before the physical fitness has not been upgraded, link's defense has been very good.
So, link is very confident to let Crawford stop!
The break was short, but for link, the waiting time was still very grinding.
After the beginning of the second quarter, in order to open the difference as soon as possible, grizzlies put all the first five tigers on the court.
De Negro seems to have guessed the Grizzlies' strategy because he put Crawford on the court, replacing Billups as the starting point in the second quarter.
And Crawford was there for a simple reason - kill!
Crawford is so happy that igordala, Randolph and Gasol are all there. This is his hotbed!
As a matter of fact, Crawford was very angry when he lost to J.R. in the best sixth man contest this year. Now, there's an outlet.
After the game started, Crawford ran through the half court very actively. But he was surprised to find that igordala was far away from him.
”What is this guy doing? Run away Crawford was stunned, but soon he knew why Iguodala was far away from him.
Because igordala's defensive target is not Crawford at all, but Barnes, who is dressing up again.
”Igordala defends Barnes, then doesn't it defend me...”
in a moment, Crawford's back is cold! The next second, link opened his arms and crossed in front of Crawford.
”Long time no see. I know you don't want to see me, but I'm sorry you'll see me every time you attack from now on.” Said link, lifting his trouser legs.
Tony on the bench laughed, and now Crawford is finished.
It usually doesn't come to a good end for linck to lift the trouser legs.
Crawford's smile disappeared in an instant. He didn't expect that the grizzly bear actually took link to defend himself.
Crawford is no stranger to link. Because during the regular season, Crawford was ”cleaned up” by link.
However, due to the difference in position, the time for the two to face each other is not long. But today, judging from the situation, link has completely moved to position two. Crawford was a little nervous. In high school, Crawford didn't feel nervous even in the face of German forward Detlev schramf, who was selected as the best three teams in the NBA.
As a high school student, he rocked an NBA player and made him famous.
But today, facing a younger generation, Crawford is nervous.
Paul originally wanted to pass the ball to Crawford, but he found that Crawford was just standing in a daze, so he could only break through by himself.
But today Paul's feel is really bad, he did not score much in the first quarter, and then he missed a throw in the second quarter.
Randolph takes the rebound and the Grizzlies are ready to fight back!
This attack, link is not excited. He didn't fight Griffin in the low post or carlon Butler at the top. Link just according to the tactics conscientiously passes the ball, moves the position.Seeing this, Crawford was even more nervous. He knew that link was trying to keep his strength on the defensive end!
Finally, Conley assists Randolph under the basket. Griffin has an advantage in the low post against link, but against Randolph that is completely at a disadvantage.
With the score leveled, the Clippers are now in urgent need of the same offensive performance as they did in the second half of the first quarter. Paul took a look at Crawford after receiving the basketball, and Crawford knew what was going on.
It's time to be tough!
”Jamal Crawford got the basketball, and he scored seven points in the first quarter alone, sounding the Clippers' counterattack. But in the second quarter, it was link who was defending him. I don't know if Crawford can maintain the momentum when facing the grizzly bear star
After receiving the ball, Crawford did not do three threats, but directly made two consecutive radians, which greatly changed hands behind the back and stabbed to the right side of link. This is one of Crawford's signature swaying moves!
Link still remembers that when playing nba2k, everyone had to pack a Crawford dribble bag. This is a double luck, practical and good-looking.
But the reality can be different from the game, link did not eat shake, he will not go to poker in advance, he only recognized Crawford started that.
