Link closed his eyes and scored the ball, which made the Memphis fans in the scene orgasm en masse.

When little Jordan just missed three free throws, Link immediately came to a free throw with his eyes closed, even a three-year-old child knows how embarrassed little Jordan is at this time.

After Jordan Jr. got off the court, he also got a close-up of the shot.

I saw that little Jordan, who was arrogant and domineering just now, was expressionless at this time.

Doug. Rivers was talking next to Jordan Jr., but Jordan Jr. didn't seem to listen.

As the backbone of the Clippers' interior defense, Jordan Jr. was forced off the court with two fouls in advance, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Clippers' defense.

After all, the Clippers don't have any decent interior defenders other than Jordan Jr. Griffin's offense has been improving, but the defense has been mediocre. "Big Baby" Glenn. Davis doesn't have much of an advantage on the defensive end other than his size.

As for the other center, Ryan. Hollins, who averaged just eight minutes per game in the regular season this season. This playing time is enough to show his ability. You can't expect someone who couldn't play during the regular season to burst out in the more difficult playoffs.

Jordan Jr.'s fate affects not just himself, but the whole team, the whole game.

A truly mature and great basketball player will not throw aside the interests of the team for the sake of gambling.

So DeAndrew. Jordan's behavior is something that even Clippers fans won't like.

Rivers looked at little Jordan like this and sighed. He will definitely not listen to anything he says now.

It was only a few rounds before little Jordan was destroyed by Link. I have to say that with little Jordan's mentality, there is really a distance from the best defensive player.

Not to mention anything else, even if Noah of the Bulls encounters what happened just now, he will definitely not lose control of his emotions.

Defense, today is definitely not counting on it. Jordan Jr.'s state, even if he re-appeared in the second quarter, didn't know how much of a role he could play.

Thankfully, it's not the end of the world for Rivers and the Clippers. Because they're real pillars Chris. Paul, he hasn't fallen yet.

Watching Jordan Jr. be substituted for two fouls, Paul only felt pity.

Jordan Jr. is a good player, but he's going in the wrong direction.

Link deliberately provoked him, but it wasn't because he really had a deep hatred for Jordan Jr. Link did this for the sake of the current ending.

Really great players who do everything with a purpose. They will never let emotions get above the game.

In the second penalty, Link did not continue to close his eyes and make free throws, but scored the ball normally.

After getting little Jordan down, Link immediately returned to normalcy and put away the arrogance just now.

If this game is compared to a game, Little Jordan is a small boss at best.

And if he wants to "clear the level" of the Clippers, Link also needs to face the ultimate boss of Paul.

Paul is not discouraged, although losing Jordan Jr. will make the Clippers very passive on the defensive end. But he believes that with his efforts on the offensive end, the Clippers can still get through it!

So after the first quarter, Chris. Paul is in scoring mode!

He was no longer gentle today and was going to take the initiative from the very beginning of the game. And he did, and with the Grizzlies' offense unfettered, Paul also caused a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies with his offense.

Later in the first quarter, Paul and Redick hit back-to-back three-pointers. They actually get very few absolute open spots, and most of their shots are made with more or less interference.

Link didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that the Clippers were just three-point shots in those few rounds.

As everyone knows, Paul was on time to the end of the first quarter.

With 2.8 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Paul got rid of Mike Conley with a double screen close to the halfway line, and then shot a shot from a step outside the three-point line!

As a result, this ultra-long-distance three-pointer is still hollow into the net!

When Link saw the ball, he also became nervous. With this three-pointer at the buzzer, the Clippers scored 36 points in the first quarter of the game!

And Paul made 5 of 5 three-pointers in the first quarter, but he scored 17 points in the quarter!

After the Clippers lost Jordan Jr. as a defensive shelter, Paul filled the void on the defensive end with his terrible scoring ability.

At 36-26, the Clippers led the Grizzlies by 10 points in the first quarter. Paul, the big boss, is not comparable to Little Jordan.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides fought off the bench, and the Clippers still had the advantage.

Best Sixth Man Jamal. Crawford won consecutive singles, and Crawford's magical form after winning the award has remained from the previous round to the present. Even Tony. Aaron, there is no good way to take Crawford today.

Link had to come out early, and that was what stabilized the situation. But at this time, the difference has also come to 12 points!

After Paul came out, he immediately hit another three-pointer, and he shot 6 of 6 three-pointers in the half! Before the half, 20 points had already been cut!

After playing Paul so many times, Link has never seen Paul score like this. Paul is the quintessential one with just the right amount of anger, which gives him more power but not so much that it makes him lose his mind.

Later, the Grizzlies stepped up their defense against Paul from beyond the three-point line. But Paul is smart, he's a guy who doesn't get out of the way when he retires as a coach. His grasp of tactics and situations is probably no worse than that of many coaches.

He anticipated the changes the Grizzlies might make on the defensive end, so in the second half of the second quarter, Paul suddenly stopped shooting from the three-point line!

Paul plays with the feeling that it's always very reasonable!

He shoots reasonably, passes the ball reasonably, and hardly makes mistakes.

When the Grizzlies stepped up their defense beyond the three-point line, Paul didn't shoot like other guards with a hot hand. He would rather not vote than ensure reasonableness. And if you ensure rationality, you can ensure a high hit rate.

So in the second half of the second quarter, all people saw was Paul's beautiful stop-up shot and beautiful breakthrough layup. The three-point shot seemed to be completely left behind by Paul, but the Grizzlies had to continue to be on guard.

After all, that's a pervert who shoots 6-of-6 from three-point range in the half!

Under Paul's continuous violent output, the Clippers once led the Grizzlies by 21 points at one point! Everyone was stunned, no one thought that the defending champion Grizzlies, who won 74 wins, would be beaten to the ground! In the first quarter of the game, the joy that Link brought to people after humiliating Jordan Jr. was instantly swept away.

Fortunately, in the second half of the second quarter, Link stepped up when the Grizzlies were at their most critical. He scored eight points in a row and took the initiative to defend Paul on the defensive end many times, which led the team to a difficult 8-0 offensive and narrowed the difference.

In the end, after half-time, the scores on both sides were frighteningly high.

The Clippers scored 69 points in the first half, while the Grizzlies also scored 56 points. The defending champions went into halftime with a 13-point deficit!

"Incredible Chris. Paul, led an incredible half-court offense! The Clippers shot 56.5% from the field in the first half, and 56.3% from three-point range! When Jordan Jr. was troubled by fouls, Paul was stunned to fill the team's lack on the defensive end with offense! ”

"yes, 26 points and 6 assists in the half, but only two turnovers! Chris. Paul is a god today, if Paul continues to go crazy like this in the second half, the defending champions are afraid that they will lose a home game! ”

Hubi. Both Brown and Van Gundy were impressed by Paul's performance, and that's what superstars are capable of, and they can change the game with exaggerated stats at any time!

After the half, Paul, who performed the most dazzlingly, naturally also accepted an interview with reporters.

Facing the camera, Paul raised his chin slightly, showing his arrogant posture.

"What the best defensive player, we didn't have any trouble attacking at all! In the second half, we will continue to attack like this! ”

Paul is determined to roll Link over at the Federal Express Arena, and he's going to blow up the team with the best defensive efficiency today.

When Link returned to the locker room, he was the first to stand up before Georgel could speak.

"In the second half, I'm going to defend Paul!" Link's tone was less like asking for advice, more like a message that I was going to do that.
