: Eight hundred and fifty-eight: Two towers transformation (3/5)

Chris Paul doesn't care what others think of him, he just wants to win.
Since entering the league in 2005, Paul has quickly won the title of "first point guard" and has become the league's top ten superstar.
But compared with the others in the top ten, his hard honors are really pitiful.
After Durant has gone to the finals for a lap, Link has already held two championship rings.
Chris Paul, this guy who is always ranked high by the people, has never even played in the conference finals!
Paul thought he would be closer to honor after coming to Los Angeles. However, everything is the same as in New Orleans.
This is already his 9th year in the industry. How many 9 years are there in a player's career?
Paul knew that his age was constantly rising, and his last peak was only a few years ago.
If he can't make it to the conference finals or even the finals during this period, he will very likely become a "no ring superstar" like John Stockton.
That's certainly not the result Paul wanted. For a person like him who is extremely eager to win, it is unacceptable without an NBA championship.
Therefore, Paul chose to put victory in the first place at the moment when the Clippers were "stranded".
As long as the Grizzlies can be defeated, the Clippers have hope. Paul only recognizes this.
He doesn't care if Link is injured or not, and he doesn't care what the fans think of him.
He only knows that the Clippers are now leading by 8 points, and this is the truth!
"Chris, in the second quarter, we added individual singles while assisting inside teammates to score. We have to completely open the score and establish the victory!" Doug Rivers knows that he is taking advantage now, so he doesn't want to worry about it. How did it come?
At first, Rivers only wanted the Clippers to treat Link roughly, but he didn't expect Paul to be so rough.
That being the case, it is of course to seize the opportunity to win!
Paul nodded silently, his eyes full of murderousness. 4 to 0 is a thing of the past. Starting today, the status of the Clippers has changed!
The electronic buzzer sounded and Chris Paul stepped onto the court. As soon as he walked into the court, there was a deafening boo.
Paul did not waver, he knew that he was now on the "blacklist" of the Federal Express Arena.
But he was not afraid, but stared at the front, waiting for the Grizzlies to attack.
But when Paul saw the Grizzlies' start in the second quarter, the unscrupulous No. 3 frowned slightly.
"Link is back, and after a break, he is back on the court. It seems that Link's body is not serious, and Memphis fans can rest assured! Wait...except Link, the Grizzlies The team also sent Marc Gasol and Hassan Whiteside at the same time." Hubie Brown couldn't help raising the volume.
Georgel sent a double center lineup!
"Dual centers?" Doug Rivers also noticed the changes in the Grizzlies, but his expression was very relaxed, "That guy wouldn't think that stacking big men can solve the inside crisis, right?"
Little Jordan is gearing up, he can't wait to rub Whiteside on the ground.
In the first quarter of the game, Jordan scored 6 points and 4 rebounds. The data was quite good. However, due to the staggered playing time of the two sides in the first quarter, Jordan did not get the opportunity to directly play against Whiteside.
At this time, little Jordan should let the reporters see how unbearable the 10-day part-time job that they have blown away is really bad!
Whiteside also squeezed his fists, and he also wanted to pass by now and beat up little Jordan, but he finally held back it and was not stunned.
He has not forgotten that his current opponent is not Jordan, but Blake Griffin!
Jordan's hatred will be reported later. His top priority now is to help the Grizzlies tide over the difficulties.
The Grizzlies started the second quarter with a baseline ball.
Link waited for Conley to dribble through the half-court from beyond the three-point line. At the same time, Whiteside began to wrestle with Griffin in an attempt to squeeze to the basket.
Gasol stood in the middle distance, trying to get Jordan out of the penalty area.
As soon as Conley passed halftime, Link immediately started and went to meet him.
When accelerating, Link felt a slight pain in his calf, and Paul was really cruel.
After Link received the basketball, he turned Barnes away and broke through again!
"It seems that you just didn't have enough pain!" Paul gloated when he saw Link's head breakthrough.
He believed that little Jordan would make Link behave.
Little Jordan rushed forward fiercely. In the first quarter, they successfully restrained Link, so in the second quarter, Jordan was full of confidence.
If Link is strong, he will only suffer more damage. If it is passed to Gasol, Jordan can rush back to interfere as soon as possible.
But this time, when Link faced a double-team, he didn't pass the ball to Gasol. Instead, he hit the ground to Whiteside who cut into the basket!
It's time to break through the Clippers' $30 million inside line!
When Whiteside received the basketball, a Griffin stood in front of him.
Griffin's defense is not at the top level, his defensive skills are average, and the disadvantage of his wingspan makes him very difficult to defend against tall opponents.
Both Dirk and Duncan in their twilight years had experiences of abusing Griffin.
The reason Griffin was able to restrain Harris before was because Harris was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and tonnage and couldn't touch Griffin. But Whiteside, who replaced Harris at this time, has no problems in this regard!
After receiving the basketball, Whiteside ran two steps and took off the hook. With a height of 2.13 meters and a wingspan of 2.31 meters, he has a very high shot point and Griffin can't even reach it!
The Clippers champion tried to straighten his arms, but his short hands were completely ineffective...
In this way, Link assisted Whiteside to hit a hook, and the Grizzlies narrowed the point difference!
"Nice goal. For Griffin, Whiteside is too tall and too strong. Let's see how the Clippers will respond." Hubby Brin waved his fist. It was the smoothest offense for the Grizzlies today.
Whiteside happily pointed to Link to show his gratitude. Link nodded, then quickly retreated.
As he passed Paul, Link stopped and whispered in his ear.
"You are one of the players with the lowest turnover rate in the league. You are not an easy person to make mistakes, Chris. But just now, you made a big mistake."
After that, Link walked away quickly, leaving only Paul gritted his teeth.
Paul knew that Link was a good-mouthed man, but he didn't intend to fight back. As long as this offense can be scored, Link will naturally shut up!
This round, Paul and Jordan tried to play the pick-and-roll and then missed.
But at this time, the defender of Jordan has become Whiteside.
Little Jordan cut in immediately after the pick and roll, but facing Whiteside, the advantage of little Jordan's mobility is not so obvious.
He may easily get rid of Gasol, but he can't get rid of Whiteside who has the same athletic ability and a revenge bonus!
Paul still threw the ball into the air, and he didn't notice Jordan's dilemma.
Thus, Whiteside leaped sharply before Jr. Jordan, with his long arms like a high wall, blocking the basketball "outside the wall."
"Whiteside destroyed Paul's pass to Jordan. Now, the Grizzlies are no longer at a disadvantage in athletic ability!"
As soon as Hubie Brown finished speaking, Link rushed to collect the destroyed basketball. Paul was also grabbing the ball, but he ate Link's elbow when fighting in the air.
You know, although Link doesn't intentionally hurt people, there are many black tricks!
Paul was dizzy with his elbow, he immediately covered his head and staggered a few steps, trying to win the referee's sympathy, but the referee ignored it.
Everyone knows that Paul loves to act, and in the first quarter, Paul made a bad impression on the referee after he beat Link. Therefore, the referee judged that Paul was pretending to be a fool, so he did not interrupt the game!
As everyone knows, Paul really suffered this time. But even if he was really at a loss, Paul would not be protected by the whistle.
This is the basketball version of "The Wolf is Coming".
Link immediately pushed forward after snatching the basketball. Barnes and Jr. Jordan rushed towards Link fiercely, as if they were about to knock Link directly off the bottom line.
Link turned his head to look at Butler who followed up from beyond the three-point line, but actually threw the ball lightly and sent it inside!
Whiteside, who had already reached the basket, received the basketball as soon as he reached out. After reaching the basket, he slammed into the basket and stunned Griffin.
The advantages of Griffin's tonnage and strength have become disadvantages in front of Whiteside!
Although there is only a small amount of space, it is enough!
I saw Whiteside hit Griffin and directly forced a dunk. This dunk was so powerful that Griffin reflexively reached out and blocked his chest to protect himself.
The Clippers' inside advantage seemed to disappear, leaving Whiteside to wreak havoc.
"DeAndre, pay attention to protect the rim, protect the rim!" Doug Rivers yelled at his drake voice, knowing that Griffin alone could not limit Whiteside.
The destructive power of this behemoth is much greater than when he came to the Clippers for trial training, and only Jordan can contend with it.
With only 4 points left, Link stuck out his tongue at Paul, "Sorry, but you guys are really vulnerable!"
Paul is completely angry, but he is not the kind of person who is easy to get hot heads. As the team commander, he remained calm in the offense of the next round, without Maoran singles.
Paul knew that now little Jordan was basically seen to death by Whiteside. So, intend to look for opportunities from Griffin.
In the end, Paul used a breakthrough point to create a CIC opportunity for Griffin. But under the interference of Gasol, who is tall and arm-length, Griffin's shot completely lost the front sight, which was ridiculously crooked!
The Clippers' inside team became extremely weak in the second quarter. Jordan and Griffin both misfired! On both ends of the offense and defense, they were eaten to death by the Grizzlies Twin Towers.
Little Jordan was unwilling to retreat. He still didn't believe that the Clippers would be suppressed by a dead All-Star + 10-day day job.
So this time on defense, Jordan's position is very close to the basket. The purpose is simple, it is to interfere when Whiteside attacks.
He has to stand up and protect the basket.
Seeing Jordan's position so close to the basket, Link became happy. The Clippers are now completely led away!
Before the double-team formation, Link lifted the basketball as if preparing to pass the air relay to Whiteside.
Little Jordan immediately returned to the basket, but in the next second, Link passed the ball in the opposite direction!
On the free throw line, Gasol received the basketball and was unguarded!
Little Jordan this time is no matter how fast ~EbookFREE.me~ it is impossible to rush back, he retreated to the basket too far from Gasol!
Gasol did not hesitate and threw the ball in as expected! As soon as the second quarter came up, the Grizzlies had a wave of 6 waves of 0, which instantly narrowed the difference!
And these 6 points are all from the Grizzlies insiders!
"What the hell? DeAndre should give Gasol enough respect in the middle distance. Gasol can really shoot." Mark Jackson started to complain. How could Jordan directly let Gasol go?
The keen Doug Rivers immediately suspended the game and was chased by 6 points, which is not a good sign. The two towers of the Grizzlies were caught off guard by the Clippers!
Link excitedly rushed to hug his two giant teammates, they really helped!
Of course, Link also knew that this was just a warm-up.
The real counterattack will be more violent than this...
