: Five hundred and thirty-two: Faith fades away

The Clippers players are not in high mood today. After all, all of them know that they are here to make wedding dresses.
Before the game starts, you know that you have a high probability of losing, and the players are in a good mood.
After Paul came to the Federal Express Arena, he was the first to go to the court to warm up. He is not warming up for this game, but warming up for the playoffs.
In the Western Conference Finals, this has become Chris Paul's obsession. There is no doubt that Paul's goal this year is also the Western Conference Finals!
Paul was still very confident against the Nuggets in the first round. After all, the Nuggets don't have any superstars. George Carr, the coach of thousands of wins, has not performed well in the playoffs.
When the Nuggets have Anthony, it's best to reach the Western Conference Finals. Now, the Nuggets don't have any superstars, and they may be fifth in the regular season. But in the playoffs, Paul felt that the Nuggets had no fun at all.
So, the only obstacle to the Clippers reaching the Western Conference Finals is the Grizzlies!
Yes, the Grizzlies are number one in the league. Immediately, they can break records. However, there are many examples of the first in the regular season overturning in the playoffs.
The most classic is the 2007 Mavericks. That year the Mavericks also won a record-breaking victory. Dirk also became a regular season mvp. The results of it? As a result, the Mavericks did not even pass the first round and achieved the "Golden State Bandit" miracle.
This is the playoffs. In the playoffs, everyone is on the same starting line. Your regular season record will not give you any substantial advantage on the court. All the advantages are made up round by round.
Therefore, in Paul's mind, he still has an ambition to defeat the Grizzlies. He still believes that the Clippers can fight the Grizzlies.
Then, the game began.
Today, the Grizzlies seem to be celebrating record breaking in advance, and they deliberately arranged an introduction ceremony for their players before the game.
Paul watched the Grizzlies' performance in secret, and when the four of them first appeared, they were all normal. But after it was the finale Link's turn to play, Paul instantly felt the terrible atmosphere of the Federal Express Arena!
This place, known as "the most artistic arena in the league", has become the home of the devil!
Paul has experienced the feeling of the playoffs in advance, and it is not easy to win in this arena.
After the start of the game, the Clippers started playing as usual. Although the Clippers don't want to do their best to resist today, they will not fight or give up without a fight.
Especially Paul, he even wants to test the depth of the Grizzlies in advance. Although the Clippers and Grizzlies have played against each other several times before, the current Grizzlies are the closest to the playoffs.
The experience of this fight will also bring great reference value to the Clippers' preparation for the playoffs.
Paul went beyond the three-point line, and Jordan immediately raised the screen actively. Jordan and Gasol have been grudges for a long time. The previous season, the two fought for the All-Star quota. This season, the two fought another battle because of the predicted ranking of the best defensive player.
Unfortunately, both games ended in a victory for Gasol.
It is worth mentioning that Gasol has now surpassed James in the ranking of the best defensive player predictions and ranked first!
Little Jordan must be angry, so as soon as he came on the court, he wanted to get a dunk opportunity by playing a screen with Paul!
Doesn't Paul know how little Jordan's thoughts are? So he went downhill and broke through with the cover of Jordan.
Seeing this, Jordan hurriedly relied on his powerful mobility in the big man to cut in, waiting for Paul to throw the ball into the air! The Clippers don’t know how many times the Clippers have used it during the regular season.
In the next second, Paul really threw the basketball into the air. As the best point guard in the league, Paul's passing timing is not bad.
However, little Jordan was about to take off, but found that Gasol got stuck in his position and prevented little Jordan from "taking off" comfortably.
The reason why the aerial relay is wonderful is that the tacit understanding between the two is very demanding. The ball of light passes well, and the timing of the jump must be accurate in order to perform the air relay perfectly.
But now, little Jordan was unable to jump by Gasolka. When he finally took off, the basketball flew over his head.
In the end, little Jordan, who took off too late, received nothing in the air. And Paul's pass went directly to the bottom line...
Paul shook his head in embarrassment and made a mistake at the beginning of the game, which is unacceptable for a point guard of his type.
Gasol's defense has allowed him to break the shackles of athletic ability. Even without taking off, it can successfully protect the frame. Paul realized that now he wants to deal with the Spaniards, and he can't just jump.
But this time the mistake hasn't made Paul take it too seriously. But after the Grizzlies attack, Paul couldn't help swallowing.
Link finally has the ball. As the Grizzlies' biggest star, Link intends to take over as soon as his first offense starts.
Unlike the Clippers' desireless state, Link is murderous today. The record is here, there is no reason not to take it.
Matt Barnes, the villain, crossed in front of Link. As the season progressed, the Clippers have gradually kicked Caron Butler out of the starting lineup. It turns out that Butler, the former All-Star forward, has been unable to return to his peak state.
And Barnes, who is willing to play with others at any time, is obviously more in line with the needs of the Clippers.
As a result, the Clippers team counted on Barnes to stop Link with his vicious defense. Link held the ball to face Barnes, but he was as happy as meeting an old acquaintance.
"They replaced you to defend me?" Link started talking to Barnes, but Barnes didn't answer. He knew that once Link spoke, there would be nothing good.
Barnes was never afraid to spam with others, but when he came to Link, Barnes chose to be silent.
"Alright, I was worried that the warm-up today was not enough. Now, I am relieved."
After speaking, Link suddenly started and pierced Barnes' right hand.
Barnes was full of anger, how could Link just pass by.
He slammed Link roughly, hoping to stop him with his fierce defense.
Paul can also see how hard Barnes defends. Ordinary players encounter such a rough defense, it is estimated that it is difficult to keep the ball.
However, at the moment when Barnes was on Barnes's center of gravity, Link turned around, leaning on the opponent, and passed Barnes cleanly!
With this turn, Link went directly to the basket, ready to attack the frame.
Jordan, who just missed an empty pick, can't allow this to happen. The Clippers are also fourth in the Western Conference. What do they think of the fourth in the Western Conference defense?
Then, an angry DeAndre Jordan rushed towards Link and leaped high.
This is not the first time that Jordan has shown such a big shot. This year even LeBron James, who is omnipotent, has been shot by Jordan.
Link faced the strong little Jordan in the air. He didn't stand upright, but curled up in the air, avoided the cover, glided to the other side of the basket, and layup smoothly!
After Link scored, the cheers of the entire arena rose a lot. Chris Paul looked surprised, he was dumbfounded!
This wave of operations is too shameful!
First turned around and passed Barnes, and then pulled a layup to avoid Jordan's defense. In one round, Link suffered two of the Clippers' most ferocious defensive points.
How strong is this guy's scoring ability?
2-0, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Grizzlies made a good start. Although the game has just begun, although this has just played one offense and one defense. But this simple attack and defense made Paul doubt his goal.
Want to top the Grizzlies to reach the Western Conference finals in the playoffs? Look at the group of monsters on the opposite side, look at the omnipotent No. 0, this seems to be impossible!
Paul's self-confidence was greatly impacted.
Indeed, the first Mavericks in the league in 2007 were eliminated in the first round. First in the league, not necessarily first in the playoffs.
But the Memphis Grizzlies are not the Dallas Mavericks. They may become even more terrifying in the playoffs.
The regular season is not over, and the playoffs have not yet started. But Chris Paul has fallen into the fear of being shrouded in grizzly bears.
