Reverse Growth Superstar

It was a rare occasion that the Grizzlies were questioned by the media no longer Link, they finally changed the target, but Link was more worried.

Gasol didn't speak much this afternoon, his expression was very serious. Link has never seen him so fierce, and Gasol seems to have instantly changed from a melon seller to a European gangster. It wasn't until the start of the game that Link said something to Gasol in the locker room.

"Hey, Mark, are you okay? It depends on your mood." Link walked to Gasol's cabinet and patted the big white bear on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's just a little angry!" Little Gasol is not the kind of pretentious person, sir, there is no need to hide it.

"Because of those comments about you."

"Yeah, what else can there be? I have tried so much and they seem to be out of sight. The best defensive player is predicted to rank second. This is my sweat and sweat. The most annoying It's that DeAndre Jordan, ranked fourth, what's the clamor." Gasol waved his hand, gritted his teeth when he thought of it.

"Hey, it’s okay. They can’t see it, can you just let them see? Tonight, your opponent happens to be DeAndre Jordan. Believe me, the performance on the court will not lie. Tonight, you have the opportunity to let all Everyone shuts up. Of course, don’t be stunned by anger, Mark. You have to turn your anger into strength." Link smiled, relieved a lot, it seems Gasol’s problem Not big.

"Link, do you know why we all like to play with you?" As everyone knows, Marc Gasol suddenly asked such a sentence before Link left.

"Huh?" Link was flattered, he didn't expect this incident would suddenly involve him.

"Because you treat all of us as brothers, and you are willing to think for all of us. Don't worry Link, I will protect the basket behind you tonight." Gasol finished, stood up and put on On the jersey.

The huge number 33 is very reassuring just to see it.

Like Link yesterday, Chris Paul can only watch from the bench today.

Paul was injured in a game against the Magic two days ago in the Clippers. His wrist was sprained after a fall. For a technical point guard, a wrist injury is terrible.

Therefore, the Clippers management and Paul immediately decided to take a rest and recover.

However, as the team leader, Paul still came to Memphis with the team today to cheer for his teammates, and at the same time convey a message of "Big Brother, I'm with you at any time".

Paul really wants to play. After all, in the past December, his best player in the West was robbed by Link, which made Paul very unwilling.

From December 1st to December 30th, the Clippers did not lose for a whole month, and they played a wave of 16 consecutive victories! The show makes the scalp numb.

You know, how disappointed Paul was when he knew he hadn't won the Western Conference Player of the Month even if he led the team.

Paul could not be on today, so he put all his expectations on his teammates.

The Clippers have played so far this season with a terrible record of 28 wins and 9 losses! By mid-January, it is certainly not easy for a team that hasn't made double figures after losing games.

If you rely on Paul alone, it is naturally impossible to do this. Therefore, Paul is still very confident in his teammates.

Before the game started, Paul was like a coach, gathering everyone together and giving a speech.

"Don't be afraid of them, I know that we lost to the Grizzlies in the opening game. But we are not the same as we were then. We have become stronger, and we are more united. This has been 8 days since they It’s the 6th game, and they are on the verge of collapse. Go on the field and defeat them with a tough attitude as always!"

"Roar!"

After Paul finished, the Clippers players couldn't help shouting collectively. It can be seen that Paul did a good job in mobilizing the emotions of his teammates. Some players are born to be coaches.

Little Jordan is the most excited of all, he doesn't think he will be worse than that "European soft man". Little Jordan firmly believes that Little Gasol is just taking the bonus of the system bonus, otherwise his defense will not be eye-catching.

Before the game, he clamored to win this duel, and now it's time to put it into practice.

This is not the first time Jordan has challenged Gasol. The last time he complained about Gasol before the game, Gasol defeated him with all-around data. But this time, Jordan does not compare with Gasol, he just wants to play defense with the Spaniard.

The bells and whistles of passing, mid-range shots, and running do not count.

Just defending, Jordan feels that he has no reason to lose.

On the other hand, when Link took off his training suit and stepped onto the court, the Federal Express Arena immediately burst out the biggest cheers so far tonight.

Just one game without seeing Link, the fans have missed him so much. Link's popularity in this city is unmatched.

"After missing the last game due to injury, Link returned to the arena tonight! For the Clippers, this is certainly not good news. The Grizzlies welcomed Link back, and the Clippers lost Paul. But today this one The game was not conclusive, but the Clippers came to Memphis with a four-game winning streak. I think they definitely don’t want to go home empty-handed."

"That’s right, Hubie, today’s particularly noteworthy group of matches occurred between Marc Gasol and DeAndre Jordan. Last season, the two had conflicts because of being selected for the All-Stars. At that time, Marc Gasol used his more comprehensive skills to win the matchup. But tonight, the two centers seem to be competing on the defensive end."

In a few words, Hubie Brown and his partner have analyzed the biggest point of the game clearly.

Link did not give a speech in front of everyone before the start of the game, but whispered a few words with Gasol.

"Let them see what it is that annoyed the big white bear. In fact, I don't think you should be ranked second, Mark, you should be ranked first!"

Pat Gasol on the shoulder, the Grizzlies started the five tigers and stepped onto the court!

Link said that this game won't go wrong, then it will definitely not go wrong!

The Clippers' starting position has not changed much compared to the opening game. Except for Bledsoe, who replaced Paul's starting position, the other four positions have hardly changed.

Willie Green continues to fight fake starting, the forwards are still Griffin and Butler. And the center is DeAndre Jordan, who shines this year.

Little Jordan's progress this season is indeed not small. His repeated dunks and violent blocks have left a deep impression on people.

In December, if it weren't for Jordan to protect the Clippers' penalty area, they would not be able to get a month of victory.

In the eyes of Jordan, he is already the league's top frame protector. So when the prediction ranking came out, he found that he could not even match Marc Gasol, and immediately became angry.

It was because of Gasol last year that Jordan lost the All-Star selection. This year Gasol has come to disrupt again, and Jordan is naturally very angry.

As soon as the two elders stepped into the middle circle, Link seemed to see sparks in their sights. During the jump ball stage, Jordan was even more upset, and at a jaw-dropping height, he won the basketball into Bledsoe's hands!

The Clippers took the lead, and Jordan was very proud of his bounce.

Although the Clippers are missing Paul, in basketball, a single player has a huge impact on the team. The Clippers with Paul and without Paul are completely different things.

Can you expect Bledsoe, a scoring guard, to organize an offense like Chris Paul?

Bledsoe's organizational skills are not superb, most of his assists are from rough breakthrough points, which is similar to Westbrook.

In the face of Conley, Bledsoe could not easily break through. So he gave the ball to Willie Green.

As soon as Green received the ball, Link raised his arms and pressed it up. I don't know if it was because of being too nervous and scared, Green hurriedly passed the ball to Caron Butler when he saw Link pounce.

Stevens shook his head off the court. Without Paul, the Clippers' offense instantly became constipated.

In the end, Bledsoe borrowed Jordan's off-the-ball screen to cut into the inside line, Caron Butler delivered the basketball, and the "blood cloth" was about to hit the basket!

As a point guard with a height of only 1.85 meters, Bledsoe's characteristic is to bomb the basket. His extremely strong athletic ability, long wingspan and strong body make him known as the "defender version of James".

It is precisely because of his explosive play that this small guard who averages less than 8.5 points per game is still quite popular among Clippers fans.

After receiving Butler's pass, Bledsoe didn't even have to luck. He just got the ball and attacked the frame! As a "spring man" with a vertical bounce height of more than 1 meter, Bledsoe's favorite is aerial work. You know, the vertical bounce height of Westbrook body test is only 95 cm.

Paul on the bench held his breath, and everyone else beside him was ready to celebrate Bledsoe's dunk.

Just when Bledsoe swung his arm and was about to slam the ball into the frame, the huge number 33 came out.

Bledsoe only felt as if he had suddenly hit Mount Everest, and the basketball was out of control under Gasol's big hand. And Bledsoe, because of this, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell directly to the ground!

Gasol even dribbled the ball to fan it, sending Bledsoe a big risk at the beginning!

"Blocking dunks, Marc Gasol! He was very active in defending, and the timing of blocking shots was just right! At the beginning of the game~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gasol showed his determination to defeat Jordan. !"

Hubby Brown clapped fiercely. This year's Grizzlies are not easy!

Link received the basketball that was slapped by Gasol and made a quick break. No one on the Clippers can chase back. Willie Green can keep up, but it's useless if he keeps up. He can't finish chasing after him.

As a result, the dunk performance originally belonged to Bledsoe was snatched by Link. Link stretched his body into a "C" shape in the air, then poured the ball into the frame with both hands.

The players on the Clippers bench went from excitement to disappointment in just a few seconds.

Link ran back to his own half and just happened to walk face to face with Jordan who came to pick up the ball.

So Link told the Clippers center righteously, "You got the most dangerous person on the Grizzlies today. Good luck."

Little Jordan looked at Gasol again, that guy was already waiting for the Clippers players to attack again with a grim expression.
