Chapter 663 (1/2)
Bill Simmons is not very articulate now. When the clippers were eight points ahead in the last three minutes of the game, he never thought the Clippers would lose.
Link's sudden return broke the dream of all the boat supporters. They thought it would be a beautiful revenge, but in fact, all that before was just to pave the way for the return of link hero.
Chris Paul is still reluctant to accept the result, he is still struggling. He couldn't believe that the game he had won would be won by link like this.
At this point, with only 32 seconds left in the game, link's appearance made the Grizzlies from 8 points behind to 3 points ahead.
So this attack is almost the Clippers' last chance. If they can't get the ball in this round, the game will lose its suspense.
Link's performance in the last three minutes left staples completely silent. His continuous scoring, steals and assists made it all his own.
Black and white bears are fierce, but not lethal. And the king of Memphis, has always been a pain killer!
Chris Paul hopes he can make it back. Now the clippers have himself, Reddick and Dudley, all of whom have the ability to shoot three points.
Paul then began to organize the attack, hoping to lead to a vacancy.
Dudley was scared to death by link's appearance today, but he's really old and won't lose his chain at the critical moment. According to the tactics, Dudley ran accurately.
In the end, Dudley and Griffin gave Paul a double screen near the three-point line.
This time the double screen tactics played very beautiful, not only let Conley not easily get rid of, but also let the Grizzlies' defense easily appear loopholes.
Paul held the ball to bypass two people's cover, completely shook off Conley, ready to three-point shot!
The Clippers didn't have a good three-point percentage today. Even when link was away, the clippers were struggling with their three-point shot.
Paul was 20 out of the three-point line, J.J. Reddick 7-1, Crawford 6-2... Until now, the Clippers' 3-point shooting rate is just 30%.
But even so, Paul was full of confidence. Bill Simmons is also full of confidence in Paul, superstars may not play well in the first few minutes. But at the critical moment, they are not soft hearted! So it is with link, and so is Paul.
After bypassing two layers of pick and roll, Paul has no defense in front of him. He didn't hesitate. It's time to take responsibility!
The humiliation of being swept in the playoffs last year can't be ignored!
Paul took off the shot, this time, he still felt his shooting feeling very good! And he was sure that link couldn't have shot from his back all of a sudden.
But just as Paul was about to make a three-point shot, a big hand suddenly appeared in Paul's field of vision, interfering with his aim.
Paul doesn't have to look to know who it is. Who else can there be? You can't give up, link.
”Link's idea of changing defense is very clear. He is not overwhelmed by this double screen. He is very decisive! Chris Paul seems to have raised the arc of his shot to avoid link's block, but can the ball go in
Bill Simmons's heart is in his throat, and the goal will be directly related to his reputation!
The flight angle of the basketball is very good. Paul is definitely aiming at it. Now, let's look at the arc of the basketball flight.
While most people were waiting for the result, link rushed to the basket for the first time.
Whether it's a goal or not, link is not going to give the Clippers a second chance to attack!
Finally, the basketball was short and hit the front of the basket! Link's interference has an effect, if there is no link to block that, Paul this goal is sure to score!
The moment the basketball hit the basket, link seemed to suddenly open the ”switch” of his legs, jumped high and held the rebound steadily.
Bill Simmons covered his head in chagrin. No, nothing!
After link caught the rebound, Simmons immediately heard the referee whistle. There is no doubt that the Clippers must now use foul tactics to gamble once.
In the history of NBA, there are many examples of losing because of the overturning of free throw. But the fact is that once a team starts to use foul tactics, it proves that they are desperate.
Link, wearing a black mask, was fouled and walked slowly to the free throw line, like a god of death carrying a sickle, slowly approaching the clipper with no way out.
”It's a great game, isn't it? Bill. ” Van Gundy wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed at Simmons beside him.
In the last three minutes after link's return, van Gundy felt like watching a happy action movie.
Of course, Bill Simmons was left with depression. It's the most embarrassing thing to be slapped in the face for predicting the outcome of the game.
