Chapter 555 (1/2)
Since link started defending Jamal Crawford, Crawford has been dumbfounded.
Associated with it, is the entire clippers offensive firepower weakening.
In the first quarter, Crawford used his breakthrough to bring a lot of trouble to the Grizzlies' defense. But link's oppression of Crawford completely solved the problem.
Crawford's survival skill in the league is to shake out the space and avoid physical contact with the opponent to shoot.
However, in the face of link, Crawford has to confront it again and again.
Link doesn't eat Dang at all. Even if he does, he will soon return to his position. Therefore, Crawford's greatest advantage can not be played out.
After Crawford's dumb fire, Griffin tried hard to score, but was always unable to beat four hands with one punch. Without Crawford to attract firepower for him, Griffin would always be blocked by the black and white bears every time he broke into the basket.
Chris Paul also knew that he had to stand up. However, Paul didn't feel very good from the beginning of the game today, and it continued into the second quarter.
Don't mention the shooting in the interference, Paul even lost several open shots in the second quarter
Crawford lost his energy in the beginning after a failed attack. From last season's harden to this season's Crawford, link seems to be a sixth man killer.
It's bad luck for any sixth person to fight link.
After the second quarter, the clippers were 9 points behind the Grizzlies! If it wasn't for bradeso, who came on as a substitute for Paul, to face Vasquez, the Clippers would have been double-digit behind.
Vasquez didn't work hard. However, like igordala, he met an opponent who just restrained himself.
But a regular field average of 8.5 points Bradshaw, is not enough to let the Grizzlies down.
In the second half, foul trouble turned to the Clippers. When Gasol brought Jordan to the middle range, Blake Griffin was the only one in the Clippers' box.
Although Griffin can run and jump, he is not a defensive barrier. Originally, defense is not directly proportional to athletic ability. Stoudemire's athleticism has also exploded, and his cover is very strong. However, no one would think Stoudemire is a good defensive inside.
Griffin is the same.
Link sat down and Griffin played in the low post and suffered a lot. But it's Griffin who will suffer.
Link repeatedly attacked Griffin's basket, which led to Griffin quickly accumulated the number of fouls.
You know, it's not just link who hits Griffin's basket.
In this way, Griffin also began to suffer from foul trouble. Finally, in the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, he graduated with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists!
After Griffin's exit, the clippers can only replace Orlando. Although still playing in Los Angeles, Odom has lost the momentum of the Laker days. He has lost his life completely, let alone playing.
With Paul feeling cold, Griffin had to leave and Crawford was locked by link, the Clippers lost all hope.
They may be able to make a miraculous turnaround when they are 2-0 behind the Nuggets, but even so, they may not be able to leave alive under the Grizzlies!
The Grizzlies beat the Nuggets last year. There is no comparison between the Grizzlies and the Nuggets.
Finally, grizzlies won the Clippers by 14 points at home.
Link had 27 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, and Gasol had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Grizzlies start, five tigers all score double, clippers are defeated!
As a comparison, Paul scored 16 points today, but only 4 of 12 shots. Crawford is today's clippers shot the most, he made a total of 15. But the number of hits is only one more goal than Paul.
Little Jordan must also be very subdued today, the whole field on a sports war goal, is the opening air relay. After 32 minutes, Gasol smashed 3 points, 8 rebounds and 4 turnovers.
After the game, Charles Barkley said, ”mark Gasol may really be a parallel, but he is not qualified to be judged by Andrew Jordan. Of course, in my heart, I really approve of Gasol's winning the prize
After a brief resistance in the first quarter, the Clippers realized the terrible strength of the 70 - win team.
