: Five hundred fifty-three: 1 round of the essence

Chris Paul used his abilities to the extreme and made smart shot choices. Robust scoring, clear passing, fierce defense...
Nowadays, in this league, a more versatile point guard than Paul is almost extinct.
Among the point guards of the new era, there is a retro style like Wall. Although the speed and organizational skills are strong, the projection is weak.
There are new styles like Westbrook and Rose, with explosive physical fitness and invincible attacking ability, but their shooting and organization are not like a guard at all.
There is also Rubio's skill tree that is crooked, except for passing, no other skill points are added.
However, none of them is as comprehensive as Paul. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one point guard in the league!
Paul played so well today, in addition to wanting to win, more is unable to forgive himself.
He can't forgive himself for playing so poorly in the last game, and he can't forgive himself for not leading the team through all difficulties like a leader.
Again, Paul hates losing more than he likes to win!
As a result, all the unwillingness and frustration in his heart were vented today. He had long wanted to hit the championship, but the league stopped him and Kobe.
But so what? Paul wants to prove to the world that even if he is not in the Lakers, he can still win the championship without relying on Kobe!
This season, almost no one thinks the Clippers are the favorites to win. But Paul doesn't care. He knows that the championship is not won by others, but by himself!
For the second half, Paul is still confident. Griffin scored 20 points in the half, and the state has been fed. He also had 17 points and 7 assists in the half, so it is no problem to get a large double-double today!
The Grizzlies' defense is not as terrible as imagined!
After the Clippers win the Grizzlies, Paul believes that the whole world will treat them differently!
Paul walked into the court excitedly, he didn't even take a break, just hope the second half of the game can start quickly.
Paul glanced at the stands of the Federal Express Arena, and he found that the Grizzlies fans were staring at him with fear.
Paul enjoys this look very much, and the omnipotent grizzly bears sometimes fear!
But in the next second, the Grizzlies fans had their eyes brightened and their expressions changed from panic to laughter!
On the other side, Link played!
"Damn it! Complete you today!" Paul bit, the Grizzlies idol, will no longer exist after today!
"At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Grizzlies encountered the biggest crisis since the playoffs! The time has come to test their strength after 8 points at halftime!" Barkley rubbed his hands expectantly and caused a little trouble for the Grizzlies. What the playoffs look like!
Both teams have changed back into the starting lineup. Paul thought the Grizzlies would change and would be replaced by the more flexible Tobias Harris playing the fourth position. However, the grizzly bear was not led by the nose.
The third quarter is still the Clippers first attack, Paul is gesturing while advancing, he is now full of confidence!
It seems that the team in front of him is not the league's best defensive efficiency team, but just a big belly.
Since you don't change, then hit until you change!
Paul passed the ball to Griffin, then quickly went to the right mid-range to regain the ball!
This time, Paul broke through. He just waited for Randolph to chase him, and then divided the ball to Griffin in the shot.
But after Paul got up to speed, he discovered that Randolph was still clinging to Griffin at the mid-range, and had no intention of defending.
Paul quickly looked at Gasol again. Similarly, Gasol was standing in the three-second zone and wrestling with Jordan, vying for the position to grab the board, and there was no intention to make up for defense.
"Giving up resistance? Stop looking down on people!" Paul suddenly stopped and shot a jumper on Conley's head!
Conley's defense is already very good, but Paul's offensive state today is even better. One-on-one defense is really difficult to contain him.
"brush!"
This ball is like a depth bomb, which blows the confidence of many fans. 10 points difference, this is the biggest lag the Grizzlies have experienced since playing in the playoffs this year!
"Chris Paul's goal is still an understatement. What happened to the Grizzlies today? Where is their number one defense in the league?"
"Their defense has always been there. You can only say that today Chris Paul is destined to be the winner."
Paul shook his fist triumphantly, 10 points difference, this is the result of single defense against Lao Tzu!
"Have you learned? Did you understand all the tricks you did today?" After celebrating with his fist, Paul still didn't forget to "talk" with Link.
Just as Paul walked back triumphantly after spraying it, Link's joking tone came all over him.
"Hey, Chris. Do you want me to show you my list? You are number 5 in the MVP rankings, and I, number 2!"
The smile on Paul's face disappeared instantly, and he was going to bloodbath Memphis today!
For the Grizzlies offense, Link was much more active than the first half. He said that he would pay for every Paul who entered, but he didn't just say that when he pretended to be forceful to his teammates.
Barnes was ready. He allowed Link to score 15 points at halftime today. The defense is far from successful.
Link's eyes were very cold, like a butcher preparing to slaughter animals, without seeing any mercy.
He first passed the ball to Gasol in high position, and then cut in immediately!
But after reaching the basket, Link did not ask for the ball, but suddenly sprinted to the right corner. At the same time, Iguodala ran from the other side and formed a crossover with Link at the bottom corner.
Barnes and Crawford were in a mess. They didn't know who to talk to, and they hesitated for a second.
But this second is enough for Link to get shooting space!
Gasol, the command tower, delivered the ball to Link just right. Barnes is still hesitating until now, wondering if he should take off and block.
Barnes had had enough of being fired by Link.
Barnes was hesitating, but Link didn't! He made a three-pointer very decisively without any interference!
Basketball is like an intercontinental missile, hitting the target accurately!
With a three-pointer, the Grizzlies are closing the gap!
"Damn it, why don't you push it up!" Paul quit, and directly criticized Barnes on the court.
Barnes did nothing but swallowed his breath. This ball was indeed defeated by him. It is useless to find anyone to reason.
"Hmph, it's tough!" After cursing Barnes, Paul muttered to himself in his heart again.
He certainly knows that Link is only 9 votes away from the MVP this year. But in Paul's view, it was the regular season MVP and had nothing to do with the playoffs!
Paul repeats his old tricks and wants to use his offensive threats to disrupt the Grizzlies' defense. This time, he handed the ball to Crawford, and then pulled to the right by himself, hoping to help Crawford open space.
But the black and white bears were not restrained at all. When Crawford rushed in, the black and white bears blocked it in time, making this super sixth man deflated.
Paul was angry, and now the Grizzlies ignored him. Well, let you regret it!
But before Paul makes the Grizzlies regret it, the Clippers must resist Link's counterattack.
This time, Link deliberately set up a cover for Conley early in the new process. The purpose of this cover is very simple, to force the opponent to change defense! If you don't change, Conley can directly impact with an acceleration.
Paul knew this, and he was very eager to face up with Link! As a result, Paul actively switched defenses. Barnes went to guard Conley, and Paul crossed to Link.
The audience is boiling!
"This is the first matchup between Paul and Link in this game. Let's see who is the winner!" Kenny Smith stood up directly, and the best part of the playoffs began!
Sure enough, after the conversion was formed, Conley handed the ball to Link for the first time.
Link has an absolute advantage in height against Paul outside the three-point line.
"Let's change back!" Barnes yelled to Paul, he didn't want to see Paul falling into a hard fight.
"No, I'll fix him!" Paul responded forcefully. It's not the first time he's defended himself.
"No, you should listen to him. I hit you in the wrong position, it looks like I'm very bullying." Link joined the conversation between the two, of course, it is not a good thing to speak.
"Let's talk about it when you score, little rookie!"
After all, Link's dribbling frequency from outside the three-point line is getting faster and faster. This is a precursor to his breakthrough!
Paul was ready. He was 1.83 meters and Link was 2.03 meters. His height was indeed a disadvantage. But if the defense only relies on height, Thabeet, who was once selected by the Grizzlies, won't be water.
Paul's plan is very simple, hold him at Link's breakthrough, and then wait for the opportunity to steal!
Wouldn't it be easy for a defender to grab a forward?
Link really accelerated, and Paul posted it immediately. Although he is a point guard, he is not afraid of physical confrontation with the third player.
"Boom!" The two collided violently, but both were unmoved. It can be seen that Link and Paul are already fierce!
"It's now!" After Paul resisted Link's impact, he immediately started to take the ball.
But just as his fingertips were about to touch the basketball, Link took the ball back!
"What!?" Paul was shocked, in such a sudden situation, in the case of physical contact, he can complete the back hand change so quickly?
Paul has robbed countless people with this trick, but no one can avoid it so perfectly!
Link has already taken precautions ~EbookFREE.me~ so he reacted immediately. If Paul had carefully watched the highlights of Grant Hill's peak dribble breakthroughs, he would not have been surprised by what Link did.
Link pulled the ball back, avoiding Paul's steal.
But because Paul's center of gravity was too high, and he hadn't touched the support point he expected, he rushed out directly, staggered under his feet, supported the floor with his hands, and almost fell off!
The audience exclaimed that Link actually flew Paul away!
"Unbelievable getting rid of! This is the first time I have seen a player in the third position sway the player in the first position!" O'Neal clapped his hands and applauded. NBA players are not weak in dribbling, including O'Neal.
This big Mac that people think can only smash and buckle, in fact, the level of dribbling is very scary. All kinds of butterflies wear flower steps, O'Neill can also make a set for you.
But whether it can be used under high-intensity defense is another matter.
And Link is undoubtedly very adaptable to the rhythm of dribbling under high-intensity defense.
Dangling Paul, Link went directly to the penalty area. Under Blake Griffin's blocking, Link changed hands to the basket in the air, using an extremely magnificent way to get Paul and Griffin at the same time!
Of course, in an instant, the two-digit difference was reduced to only 5 points!
Paul gritted his teeth, this goal is simply a shame in his career! He has always dangled others, and no one has ever dangled him!
What's more, it was a striker who was over 2 meters tall!
Paul's righteousness here, Link still doesn't forget to add fuel to the fire, "You're only fifth, you're the bottom!"
While talking, Link gave a thumbs up and then down!
Now, Paul wants to beat Link violently.
