: Seven hundred and fifty-eight: Sao Paulo

Link closed his eyes and fouled the ball, which made the Memphis fans on the scene a collective climax.
　　 When Jordan just missed three free throws, Link immediately made a closed-eye free throw. Even a three-year-old kid knew how embarrassed Jordan was at this time.
After 　　 Jordan was off, he also got a close-up shot.
　　 I saw little Jordan, who was still arrogant and domineering just now, his face was expressionless at this time.
　　Doug Rivers said something beside the little Jordan, but little Jordan seemed to hear nothing.
　　As the Clippers' inside defense pillar, Jordan was forced to leave the field with two fouls early, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Clippers' defense.
　　 After all, the Clippers have no decent inside defenders except Jordan. Griffin's offense has been improving, but the defense has been quite satisfactory. "Big Baby" Glenn Davis has no advantage on the defensive end except for size.
　　 As for another center, Ryan Hollins, this guy only averaged 8 minutes per game this season. This playing time is enough to illustrate his ability. You can't expect someone who can't even play in the regular season to suddenly break out in the more difficult playoffs.
　　 Jordan's end affects not only himself, but the entire team, the entire game.
　　 A truly mature and great basketball player will not put the team's interests aside for anger.
　　 So DeAndre Jordan’s behavior, even Clippers fans would not like it.
　　 Rivers sighed looking at the appearance of little Jordan. He must not listen to what he said now.
　　 Only a few rounds, little Jordan was destroyed by Link. I have to say that with Jordan's mind, there is really a distance from the best defensive player.
　　 Apart from anything else, even if the Bulls’ Noah suffered just those things, he would certainly not lose control of his emotions.
　　 Defense, today is definitely not expected. Jordan's state, even if he re-appears in the second quarter, I don't know how much it can play.
　　 But fortunately, for Rivers and the Clippers, this is not the end. Because their true pillar, Chris Paul, has not fallen yet.
　　 Watching Jordan get replaced because of two fouls, Paul only feels a pity.
　　 Jordan is a good player, but he is struggling in the wrong direction.
　　 Link deliberately angered him, but it wasn’t because he really hated Jordan. Link did this for the current ending.
　　 Really great players, do everything with purpose. They will never let emotions take precedence over the game.
　　 In the second free throw, Link did not continue to close his eyes to make the free throw, but instead took the free throw normally.
　　 After taking off little Jordan, Link immediately returned to normal, putting away the arrogance just now.
　　 If you compare this game to playing a game, Jordan is at best a small BOSS.
　　 In order to "clear" the Clippers, Link also needs to face Paul, the ultimate BOSS.
　　 Paul was not discouraged, although the loss of Jordan would make the Clippers very passive on the defensive end. But he believes that with his offensive efforts, the Clippers can still survive the storm!
　　 So after the first quarter, Chris Paul completely opened the scoring mode!
　　 He is no longer gentle today, he intends to take the initiative from the beginning of the game. He did indeed. Paul also used his offense to create a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies while the Grizzlies’ offense was not constrained.
　　 In the second half of the first quarter, Paul and Redick hit three-pointers. They actually get very few absolute open positions, and most of their shots are made with more or less interference.
　　 Link didn't pay much attention to it at first, he thought the Clippers were just three-pointers in these rounds.
　　 As everyone knows, Paul was right at the end of the first quarter.
　　 When the first quarter was about to end with 2.8 seconds left, Paul got rid of Mike Conley with a double screen close to the midfield line, and then shot a buzzer shot at a distance from the three-point line!
　　 As a result, this ultra-long three-pointer is still hollow into the net!
　　 Link also became nervous after seeing the ball. With this three-pointer at the buzzer, the Clippers scored 36 points in the first quarter!
　　 And Paul made 5 of 5 3-pointers in the first quarter, but he scored 17 points in the quarter!
　　 After the Clippers lost the defensive asylum of Jordan, Paul used his terrible scoring ability to fill the Clippers' defensive vacancy.
　　, the Clippers led the Grizzlies by 10 points in the first quarter. Paul, the big boss, is not comparable to Jordan.
　　 At the beginning of the second quarter, when the two sides fought off the bench, the Clippers still had the upper hand.
　　 Best Sixth Man Jamal Crawford succeeded in consecutive singles. Crawford's magical state after winning the award has been maintained from the previous round to the present. Even Tony Allen, there is no good way to take Crawford today.
　　 Link had to play early, which stabilized the situation. But at this time, the point difference has come to 12 points!
　　 After Paul played, he immediately hit another three-pointer and made 6 of 6 three-pointers in the half! 20 points were already scored before halftime!
　　 Playing against Paul so many times, Link has never seen Paul in such a scoring state. Paul's typical anger value is just right. His anger can make him burst into greater power, but it won't make him lose his mind.
　　 Later, the Grizzlies strengthened their defense against Paul from beyond the three-point line. But Paul is very smart. He is a man who will not be abrupt as a coach immediately after retirement. His grasp of tactics and situation may not be worse than many coaches.
　　 He anticipated the possible changes the Grizzlies might make on the defensive end, so in the second half of the second quarter, Paul suddenly stopped shooting outside the three-point line!
　　 The feeling that Paul plays is that he is always very reasonable!
　　 He makes reasonable shots, passes the ball reasonably, and makes almost no mistakes.
　　 After the Grizzlies stepped up their defense beyond the three-point line, Paul did not make random shots with a fiery touch like other guards. He would rather not vote, but also to ensure rationality. And by ensuring reasonableness, a high hit rate can be guaranteed.
　　 So in the second half of the second quarter, people only saw Paul's beautiful emergency stop and a beautiful breakthrough layup. The three-pointer seemed to be completely left behind by Paul, but the Grizzlies had to continue to guard.
　　 After all, it was a pervert that made 6 of 6 three-pointers at halftime!
　　 Under Paul's continuous violent output, the Clippers once led the Grizzlies by 21 points when they were the most! Everyone was stunned. No one thought that the defending champion Grizzlies, who won 74 wins, would be beaten to nothing! The joy that Link brought to people after humiliating Jordan in the first quarter was wiped out in an instant.
　　 Fortunately, in the second half of the second quarter, Link stood up when the Grizzlies were most critical. He scored eight points in a row and took the initiative to defend Paul many times on the defensive end. This led the team to a difficult 8-0 offensive and narrowed the point difference.
　　 In the end, after the half-time, the scores of both sides were terribly high.
　　 The Clippers scored 69 points in the half game ~EbookFREE.me~ and the Grizzlies also scored 56 points. The defending champion entered the halftime with a 13-point disadvantage!
"The incredible Chris Paul led an incredible half-court offense! The Clippers shot a total of 56.5% in the first half of the game, and shot 56.3% from three-pointers! Jordan was troubled by fouls. Under the circumstances, Paul was stunned to use offense to fill in the team's lack of defensive end!"
　　 "Yes, 26 points and 6 assists in the half, but only two turnovers! Chris Paul was amazing today. If Paul continues to go crazy in the second half, the defending champion may lose a home court!"
　　 Hubie Brown and Van Gundy were both impressed by Paul's performance. This is the ability of superstars. They can change the game with exaggerated data at any time!
　　 After halftime, Paul, who performed the most dazzlingly, naturally accepted an interview with reporters.
　　 Facing the camera, Paul lifted his chin slightly, showing his arrogance.
　　 "What the best defensive player, our offense did not encounter any trouble at all! In the second half, we will continue to attack like this!"
　　 Paul made up his mind to let Link roll over at the Federal Express Arena. He is going to beat the team with the most defensive efficiency today.
　　 After Link returned to the locker room, before Georgel could speak, he stood up first.
　　 "In the second half, I'm going to defend Paul!" Link's tone was not like asking for advice, but more like informing everyone that I was going to do that.
