Tonight's game was supposed to be the highlight.

This, coupled with the controversy over Link's all-time rankings, further adds to the appeal of this match.

So tonight, when the players were still warming up, it was very lively on the pitch.

Because there are so many reporters who come to shoot and interview, this is the most intuitive point to reflect whether a game is attracting attention.

The reporters' questions on the sidelines are all similar, and they are basically all related to the "Hall of Fame Pyramid" that was newly released today.

"Link certainly deserves to be sixth, have you all forgotten how he rubbed Antetokounmpo to the ground yesterday? Who else but him can do it? With yesterday's game, he is fully qualified to be ranked sixth. ”

In the face of reporters' questions, Wade was full of praise for Link, and he did not refuse to recognize Link's greatness because of the once hostile relationship between the two.

"After tonight, Bill. Simmons would realize what a mistake he had made. All I can say is, good luck to Link. ”

DeAndrew. Jordan has a completely different view, but since he released the Mavericks once, Jordan Jr.'s influence in the league has been much less significant.

In terms of hard power, it is generally believed that the Grizzlies are more powerful than the Clippers.

But today the Grizzlies are back-to-back, and their opponents yesterday were tough Bucks.

As a result, there is a lot of concern about the state of the grizzly bears.

If the Grizzlies can't play at their best due to exhaustion, the Clippers can easily take the game away.

So before today's game begins, Doug . Rivers' plan is also very clear.

"Pick up the pace as soon as you get on the pitch and don't let them stop running for a moment! As long as you drag down their physical fitness, you can drag down their efficiency! ”

The Clippers are prepared, they have to prove that they have what it takes to crush the Grizzlies, and they have to give it a shot for what could be the last season.

The two starters stepped onto the court, and on the Clippers' side, the starting five Tigers did not change much compared to before.

Paul, Redick, Jordan Jr. and Griffin are the main force of the Clippers.

The only difference is that the Clippers have finally found their dream No. 3 pick!

Once, neither Caron. Butler or Matt. Barnes, neither of them is a match for Link. Every time the two sides meet, the Clippers' No. 3 spot will be blown up badly.

But this year is different, and the Clippers are now starting the No. 3 position, which belongs to the "Prince of Cameroon" Luke Richard. Bamot.

Don't look at Bamot's average of only 6.1 points per game this year, but his defensive efficiency ranks seventh in the league!

And this season, Bamot has also developed a three-point shot. After five games, his three-point shooting rate is close to 40%!

You know, in previous years, most of his three-point shooting rate was still around 20%.

To put it simply, the current Bamot is equivalent to a Tony with a range. Alan.

He's often used to defend the opposition's top scorer, and he's done very well. Even if you go to the top four position to defend, there is no flaw.

A 3-and-D small forward, and a small forward with a D greater than 3, that's exactly what the Clippers need.

With Bamot in place, the Clippers have the hole cards against Link.

Rivers didn't expect Bamot to lock Link outright, that was unrealistic.

But as long as he can be consumed as much as possible, Link, who is fighting back-to-back, will definitely lose his efficiency in the end!

Link falls, and the Clippers have a chance!

After Rivers finished speaking, the Clippers players all stood up in their assigned positions in a serious manner.

On the Grizzlies' side, reporters photographed Link saying something that made Jogel look surprised before the game began.

No one knows what Link said to Jogger, but everyone knows that the Grizzlies are sure to be in a tough fight today!

"Link's performance yesterday was impeccable and he disgraced Antetokounmpo. Today, though, we don't know how much strength Link has left. After all, fighting the 'Greek monster' is not an easy task. ”

Hubi. Brown was a little worried, and although it was a matter of time before he lost, he still wanted the Grizzlies to start with as many winning streaks as possible.

Moreover, if Link loses at the juncture when he is just ranked sixth in history by Simmons, he will definitely be drowned in people's saliva.

'Link probably won't go on a rampage in the first half because he'll have to save his strength for the crucial moments in the second half. So for the Clippers, the first half was their best chance to dominate. ”

Hubi. Next to Brin, Jeff. Van Gundy predicted the course of the first half.

Almost everyone thinks the Grizzlies will be in a tough battle today due to fitness issues, and Rivers is ready to drag the game into the final moments.

Jordan Jr. and Gasol battled for the ball in the center circle, and the game officially began.

As soon as he came up, Paul held the ball and hit a three-point shot on Conley's head.

In this ball, Paul's sudden jump shot caught Conley off guard.

But even so, Conley reached out as fast as he could.

However, his interference could not prevent Paul from scoring, and as soon as he came up, Paul showed his determination.

"In the last game, Milwaukee lost because they didn't have a lot of experience and didn't play a tough game. But today, the Clippers and Paul aren't bothered by such problems. It seems that Paul is well aware of where the Grizzlies are now, and he seems to be going to establish an advantage from the start. ”

As soon as Paul scored, he called everyone back to their defenses.

Everyone was very positive, and the momentum the Clippers showed today will undoubtedly delight fans who believe that Link does not deserve to be sixth all-time.

Because if Link loses today, it will undoubtedly prove that Link is too inflated.

The real sixth in history will not lose because of back-to-back reasons!

"Damn, that's unreasonable." Link looked at Paul who had scored the goal and shook his head.

The goal just now has no rationality at all.

Since Paul is so domineering, Link doesn't intend to restrain himself.

Anyway, he didn't plan to do that.

Link had just run past half when Bamot wrapped up Link's hard grip.

It has to be said that Bamot's defense really made Link's eyes shine.

In Bamot, Link seems to have regained his original relationship with Tony. Allen's feeling of playing against each other inside the training ground.

Bamot is very aggressive in taking the initiative and it is clear that he wants to consume Link in this way.

Even if Link is Superman, it's hard to stay fit in two back-to-back matches that are intensely contested.

Link doesn't deny this.

So, his strategy was simple - get the Clippers before he got down!

Link leaned on Bamot and turned around, then shook off the "Cameroonian Prince" and cut inside.

Bamot was a little surprised, he didn't expect Link to get rid of his own guard so easily!

The smooth pace and the right timing made Link slide past Bamot as if he had soaped all over his body.

Bamot has defended many teams' top scorers, but he is the first one like Link who can easily get rid of himself!

Bamot hurried back, but he was about to accelerate when Link saw that Gasol's off-ball cover was taken out of the three-point line.

It's a reverse run!

When Link returned to beyond the three-point line, Conley's pass arrived.

At this time, Bamot is entangled with Gasol as a cover!

Link didn't hesitate and shot directly from outside the three-point line!

Although Bamot still rushed over as soon as possible and interfered with the shot.

But this level of interference had little impact on Link.

"Brush!"

Continued just by Chris. After Paul, Link also responded with a three-pointer!

This timely and easy response to the ball made Paul feel like he had been punched.

Rivers and Jeff on the stage. Van Gundy was a little surprised, this was different from what they predicted!

Indeed, it is not unusual for Link to score this kind of goal.

But in their perception, Link shouldn't have been able to attack much in the first half.

But in the first round, Link used active running to seek scoring opportunities.

"Link is very positive, his shooting is as accurate as ever. But in that case, isn't Link going to play the half? Van Gundy swallowed, could it be that this time, Link made a mistake?

But that wasn't all, and soon, Link was back on the defensive end with his tireless running to complete the defense.

This time, the Clippers wanted to tear apart the Grizzlies' defense with aggressive and fast ball passing and non-stop running, and although it was somewhat of a mimic of the Warriors, it worked.

Eventually, J.J. Reddick was leaked out by a tired Wade.

Redick receives the basketball and prepares to shoot, only to find Link rapidly approaching him.

Reddick is not stupid, although he is accurate and likes this opportunity, he is an experienced old man after all, and he can hold his breath.

So, Reddick was not greedy. After making a feint, he passed the ball to the vacated Bamot!

Rivers clenched his fists and was ready to celebrate, and Bamot jumped out for the first time, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

However, the moment Bamot jumped out of his hand, he was covered by a dark shadow in front of him.

Or Link!

"Damn, what speed is this!?" Rivers couldn't help but complain, Link had just pounced on Redick with all his might, and now he could still rush back to defend Bamot!

This guy seems to be running faster than passing!

Not only did Link not save effort, but he also fired on all cylinders as soon as he came up!

He didn't hesitate to run wild in the half, and he didn't want to give the Clippers any chance.

In this round, Link is equivalent to defending two people by one person!

Bamot has really improved his three-point shooting percentage this season, but he is not good at hitting three-pointers in interference.

With Link's interference, Bamot misses a shot.

Jordan Jr. and Gasol jumped up at the same time to fight for the rebound, but neither side touched the basketball, but instead pointed the basketball out.

As a result, Link, who had just finished running wildly, jumped up again, grabbed the rebound like a crowd, and then immediately controlled the ball and began to counterattack!

"The pace of the game was fast, it was amazingly fast! Link barely stopped running, and he seemed to like the rhythm so much! "Hubby. Brown felt that as he got older, he couldn't even keep up with Link's legs.

The speed of this offensive and defensive conversion made Lao Hu's mouth a little unable to keep up, let alone the Clippers' defense.

Rivers looked at Link in surprise, at the forward 0.

The Clippers play fast-paced, primarily to wear down the Grizzlies.

At this time, shouldn't Link try to stabilize the rhythm?

Instead, he pushed the pace of the game to a faster pace!

Link walks beyond the three-point line with the ball and then suddenly makes a stop!

His extremely strong core strength allows him to overcome inertia and "brake" very crisply.

And Bamot, who had been running with all his strength to catch up with Link, rushed out two steps away due to inertia.

With these two steps, Link made a jumper directly from beyond the three-point line.

Three more points, and, again, hit!

From grabbing a rebound to a three-point goal, it only took a few seconds!

"Link started the game today with a strong desire to attack and a very aggressive run, which is exactly the opposite of what we predicted!" Van Gundy scratched his hairless head.

Suddenly, it dawned on him. Now, he finally knew what Link had said to Jogger before the game, which caused Jogger to be so surprised.

※※※

Facing the Clippers in back-to-back games, Joggle was still very worried.

Last season, the Grizzlies were completely scared by injuries. So in the face of this kind of back-to-back games with huge consumption, Joggle has a psychological shadow.

The more tired the players, the more likely they are to get injured in the back, and the Grizzlies can no longer afford to be injured.

Link also knew this, so before the game began, he said to Jogger, "The more we play in today's game, the more passive we will be. Everyone is tired, so we're ...... today."

"So we're going to have to keep the rhythm when we get on the pitch? Reduced consumption? ”

"No, I'm going to start the game today and try to settle the game before I get tired! I know the Clippers aren't going to let go easily today. But...... I should be able to handle it. Link said to Joggle with a smile and stepped onto the court.

Joggle was taken aback, he didn't expect Link to choose to go against the grain.

He didn't shrink and wait, but wanted to take the initiative!

Get the Clippers ahead of schedule, and no one in the whole league dares to say such things, not even Durant and Curry.

But Joggle quickly regained his composure, after all, he was Link.

In Link's dictionary, there is no word for "impossible."

And now, after Link disrupted the Clippers with his tireless defense and flying rhythm, Joggle had more confidence in Link.

Tackling the Clippers before they get tired doesn't seem like a fantasy.

Let the Clippers have a good look at the terrifying strength of the sixth in history today!
