Staples Center, it's not the first time Link has come to play here. Over the past two seasons in the basketball mecca of Los Angeles, Link and the Grizzlies have won more with less losses.

Plus Link stole L.A. darling Blake last season. Griffin's All-Star starter, so the Los Angeles fans were even more hostile to Link.

So, in Los Angeles, in Staples, Link is a blacklist-level figure. Today is the season opener again, and the Los Angeles fans are very enthusiastic. Before the game even started, the cheers here were enough to cheer up.

If you can witness Link defeat Staples, this expensive ticket will be worth it!

DeAndrew. Jordan stood in front of Gasol Jr. and was eager to try. People only remember that Link stole Griffin's all-round starting spot last year, but few people will remember that Gasol also stole Jordan Jr.'s All-Star spot.

The two sides played each other last season, and Jordan Jr. temporarily fell behind. In the first game of the season, DeAndrew. Jordan naturally wants to be disgraced.

He thinks he's improved a lot this season, with more flexibility in attack and maturity in defence, and it won't be a problem to beat Gasol Jr.

"Your losses at the Olympics will carry over into the NBA, I promise you." As soon as the two sides stepped into the center circle, Jordan Jr. immediately spewed trash talk at Gasol.

Gasol looks much more capable this season, as he has cut his once long hair short and shaved his beard. Therefore, little Jordan can also clearly see the playful smile on Gasol Jr.'s face.

"At the very least, I can go to the Olympics and you won't be able to make the national team."

"!" Little Jordan was again generalized, he gritted his teeth and decided to use practical actions to defeat the Spaniards!

The smell of gunpowder on both sides can be seen from the two center forwards, and Link can feel the burning gaze from Griffin when he stands in his own half. And Paul, the "captain", naturally also wants to win the first victory for the team. Therefore, the fighting spirit is also very high.

Before the fight began, Link felt like his surroundings were heating up.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle and threw the basketball into the air. DeAndrew. Jordan used his greater athleticism to get the ball into Paul's hands, and the game officially began!

The whole Staples is shaking, and everyone is hoping that the Clippers can get off to a good start on their home court. They believe that a further Griffin and Jordan Jr., an older Paul and a new addition to the team, Crawford, can turn the Clippers upside down.

Stevens stood on the sidelines with clenched fists as his first round in charge of an NBA team began.

Link followed Butler, and Iguodala followed Willy. Green. The Clippers' No. 2 and No. 3 positions basically have no independent offensive ability, and the Clippers' tactics rely on Paul and two interior players to block and dismantle.

Jordan Jr. took cover, and Paul took the opportunity to break through. However, after Paul broke through, he found that little Gasol didn't follow him at all, so he stayed under the basket and waited for Paul!

Little Jordan? If you're willing to let him shoot, Gasol Jr. won't mind.

Seeing this, Paul went straight to the basket, but Gasol Jr.'s defense was very good, neither fouling nor covering Paul's vision.

Paul is one of the hardest players in the league to block, but defense doesn't have to be blocked to be successful. As long as you can keep the opponent from scoring, it's good defense.

Under the excellent defense of Gasol Jr., Paul made a layup. The first offense that Los Angeles fans were looking forward to ended sadly!

Randolph jumped sideways, jammed Griffin, and closed the rebound. Griffin could clearly see that the muscles on Randolph's arms this season were very noticeable! Moreover, the speed of the traverse seems to be back at its peak!

What monster!? Learn from Duncan to come to the second spring?

"Nice defense! Mark. Gasol is becoming more and more stable on the defensive end, he is very smart, and he has a height advantage, and the Clippers are not too good to attack the basket. "Mike. Brin applauded lightly, and there were fears that Stevens would make the Grizzlies' impregnable defensive system disappear. But as it turns out, the quality of the Grizzlies' defense has gone up rather than down.

The Clippers failed on their first offense, leaving John Brown. Hollinger's face was very unsightly. The Clippers' offense is too one-size-fits-all, or rather, the Grizzlies' wing defense is too tough!

The defensive chain formed by Link and Iguodala made the Clippers' Butler and Green almost spectators. As a result, Paul had only the option of playing pick-and-roll with two interior players. And Stevens must have developed countless ways to deal with the Clippers' pick-and-roll.

Hollinger couldn't help but feel a little nervous, the Clippers must refuel.

However, before Hollinger could breathe this breath, the Grizzlies scored first.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Conley played a positional battle. Last season, due to Link's offensive prowess, the Grizzlies liked to leave the black and white bears behind to play quick counterattacks.

But when Stevens settled in the Grizzlies, he banned it.

"Unless I change the lineup or the opponent retreats in time, otherwise, the offensive end will resolutely fall into the position!"

Now it seems that what Stevens told the players, they listened.

If the black and white bears follow suit, their stamina will soon be exhausted. The decline in physical strength has a huge impact on the defense and offense of the two bears.

Instead of blindly attacking the basket, it is better to fall into the position and play slowly. Not only would this avoid having the black and white bear run with the switchback, but it would also drag the game into the rhythm of the Grizzlies as much as possible.

After falling into position, Conley handed the ball to Link, who came out without the ball. Link confronts Caron. Butler's defense, with a direct change of direction, cleared him up!

Link faced Butler last season, and although he could score high points, it was not easy to get rid of him.

But now, Link is faster, and Butler's traverse is slower, as Stevens said. So, if Link wants to break through the defense, it's a breeze.

After Link's breakthrough, Willy. Green immediately clipped it. Green is also a veteran in the league for 10 seasons, and his role with the Clippers is simple, shooting threes and defending. With his veteran experience and strong body, he adds stability to the Clippers' perimeter defense.

The Clippers are very decisive, and it can be seen that the head coach deliberately arranged it. Following the Grizzlies' lineup last season, Tony. Allen doesn't have the ability to shoot, so the No. 2 can go up and pack Link without thinking.

It's a pity that the second position of the Grizzlies is not Mr. Tony, but Andre, who was able to shoot 39.4% from three-point range in Philadelphia last season. Iguodala!

"Link calmly gave the ball to Iguodala after being trapped, and he shot directly outside the three-point line, this is the first shot Iguodala made for the Grizzlies, can it go in!?"

Mike. As soon as Brin's words fell, the Nets burst into a white wave. Iguodala happily gestured three fingers and knew it would be a lot of fun to play in Memphis!

Indeed, Iguodala is not a scorer, nor is he a pure shooter. But if you dare to let him go completely, he will also punish you with all his might!

Link pointed at Iguodala and high-fived him. Iguodala was the Grizzlies' most important signing this summer, and when the trade happened, most people said that the Grizzlies were killing themselves by trading Guy, and for this reason, they also took a strong Bombester, and even more so did a trick.

But Iguodala slapped those media in the face in just one round.

He's incredibly good for Link, he's just the perfect green leaf next to Link. Link's assist kicked off the season for the Grizzlies and got a tough start to the game.

A three-pointer reduced the cheers in the Staples Center by half.

Of course, it also made Hollinger's face even paler.

The Clippers attacked the second time, and this time, they didn't play a pick-and-roll. Paul pulled away after half-time and played the ball to Griffin, who asked for the ball from mid-range.

Griffin faced Randolph in the middle distance with confidence. Clippers fans were screaming desperately, and they were eager to see how far Griffin had grown!

It is said that in his rookie season, he averaged 20+10 data per game, all of which are at the Hall of Fame level. Guys like O'Neal and Duncan were already MVP candidates in their third year. Clippers fans naturally expect Griffin to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Griffin held the ball and made a couple of tentative moves in the middle range, then suddenly accelerated to break through! This summer, Griffin worked his mid-range shooting and dribbling to get rid of the "dunk-only" label.

And Randolph is simply a perfect test subject. After all, judging from last season's performance, Randolph's lateral speed was too slow, and Griffin thought he could easily break through him.

But it backfired, Griffin just rushed out a step before he was blocked by Randolph! The big black bear's traverse speed was not slow, and it clamped Griffin almost immediately!

This fat man is in great shape this year!

"Damn!" Griffin gritted his teeth and leaned on Randolph to force a layup.

At this moment, Gasol Jr. appeared under the basket just right and jumped up to block. His defensive timing was incredibly timely and he didn't give Griffin any chance at all.

Griffin missed a layup under the defense of the black and white bears. MVP-level insider? Come on, Griffin is far from it!

Gasol jumped up to block Griffin, and immediately jumped twice to grab the rebound. Conley held the ball and pressed the rhythm, and the Grizzlies continued to play position!

"The Grizzlies have a much more steady pace than last season, and I don't know if that's Coach Stevens' arrangement. If so, then his control of the pitch is really strong. "Continued Mike. After Bryn, Kevin. Harlan also had good things to say about the Grizzlies.

Holinger, who was sandwiched in the middle, said he wanted to leave the group chat.

Conley waited slowly outside the three-point line for his teammates to get into place, and the whole tempo was slowed.

Gasol Jr. suddenly bounced out, looking as if he was about to catch the ball from mid-range. Jordan Jr. immediately posted it, and Gasol Jr.'s shot couldn't be put down. Although he does not admit defeat in his mouth, Jordan Jr. still knows Gasol's strength.

At this moment, Conley, who was originally slow and leisurely, suddenly threw the ball into the air!

Paul immediately turned around, and he could see that the angle was an empty pass!

But the Grizzlies' current on-court lineup, except for Iguodala, should have no one who can play this kind of ball! And now, Iguodala is standing outside the three-point line, so who is this empty pass for?

Everyone had such doubts in their hearts, so they saw a No. 0 wearing Kobe Bryant's sixth-generation Link special edition sneakers jump into the penalty area and jump high!

Since little Jordan was pulled out by Gasol, the basket was temporarily unattended, and Conley seized the opportunity to pass such an aerial relay!

But Paul laughed playfully, the idea was really good, but it was too high for Link to catch it. In the previous two seasons, Link could only make layups in the air, even if he played empty catches. After all, that's all he can do.

And now at this pass height, unless he dunks, it is impossible to catch it!

As time passed, the smile on Paul's face froze.

I saw Link holding the basketball with one hand in the air, and then slammed his arm hard!

"Boom!" The basketball hoop swayed, and the Staples Center was silent.

Link ended the attack with an explosive air catch!

"This ......" Mike. Brin tried to speak, but found he couldn't make a sound.

He was so surprised!

Link landed and glanced at Grant on the Clippers' bench. Hill.

What do you think? You have the style of the past, right?

Grant of the 04-05 season. Hill, his feet are already full of steel spikes. But that didn't stop him from soaring through the air.

Now, it's a surprise to change Link.

5-0, as soon as the Clippers opened, they were in crisis.
