Staples Center, link is not the first time he''s been here. For the past two seasons in this basketball Mecca of Los Angeles, link and Grizzlies have lost less and won more.
In addition, link took Los Angeles favorite Blake Griffin''s all star starting position last season, so the Los Angeles fans are even more hostile to him.
So in Los Angeles, at Staples, link is a blacklist. Today is the opening game of the new season, and the Los Angeles fans are very enthusiastic. Before the game starts, the cheers here are enough to cheer people up.
If you can witness link''s defeat of staples, this expensive ticket will be worth it!
Andrew Jordan stood in front of Pau Gasol, eager to try. People only remember last year that link took Griffin''s all-round starting position, but few people think that Gasol also took the All-Star seat of little Jordan.
Last season, the two sides played, little Jordan temporarily down. In the first game of the season, Andrew Jordan naturally wants to be disgraced.
He thinks that he has made a lot of progress this season. The offensive end is more flexible and the defensive side is more mature. It is not a problem to beat Pau Gasol.
"To the NBA games, you lose in the Olympic Games After both sides stepped into the middle circle, little Jordan immediately spewed rubbish words to Gasol.
Gasol looks a lot more capable this season because he has cut his long hair and shaved his beard. As a result, little Jordan can also clearly see the joking smile on Pau Gasol''s face.
"At least, I can go to the Olympics and you can''t make the national team."
"Shit!" Little Jordan was also a general, he gnash teeth, decided to use practical action to defeat the Spaniard!
The smell of gunpowder on both sides can be seen from the two centers. Link can feel the burning eyes from Griffin when standing in his own half court. And Paul, the "Captain", naturally hopes to win the first victory for the team. Therefore, the fighting spirit is also very high.
Before the fight started, link felt the heat around him.
Finally, the referee whistled and threw the basketball into the air. Andrew Jordan with his more powerful athletic ability to put the ball into Paul''s hands, the game officially began!
The whole staples is shaking and everyone wants the Clippers to have a good start at home. They believe that a further development of Griffin and Jordan, the older Paul and the new addition to the team, Crawford, can make a big difference for the Clippers.
Stevens clenched his fists and stood at the edge of the court, and his first round of coaching the NBA team began.
Link followed Butler, igordala followed Willie green. The clipper''s No. 2 and No. 3 positions have no independent offensive ability. The Clippers'' tactics rely on Paul and two inside lines to pick and roll.
Little Jordan put on the screen, Paul took the opportunity to break through. However, when Paul broke through, he found that Gasol didn''t follow him at all and was waiting for Paul under the basket!
Little Jordan? Pau Gasol won''t mind if you''re willing to make him a mid shot.
Paul saw this situation straight to the basket, but little Gasol''s defense is very in place, neither foul, but also covered Paul''s line of sight.
Paul is one of the hardest blocked players in the league, but defense doesn''t have to be blocked. As long as you can''t let the other side score, that''s good defense.
With Gasol''s excellent defense, Paul lay up for the iron. Los Angeles fans are looking forward to the first attack, so unfortunately the end!
Randolph crossed over and caught Griffin and rebounded. Griffin can clearly see that Randolph''s arm muscles are very clear this season! What''s more, the traverse speed seems to be back to the peak level!
What monster!? Do you want to learn from Duncan for the second spring?
"Beautiful defense! Mark Gasol is more and more steady in defense. He is smart and has height advantage. The Clippers are not a good choice to attack the basketball Mike brin clapped his hands, and there was concern that Stevens would make the Grizzlies'' solid defense disappear. But it turns out that the quality of Grizzlies'' defense has improved rather than decreased.
The failure of the Clippers'' first attack made John Hollinger look bad. The Clippers'' attack is too single, or the Grizzlies'' flank defense is too strong!
Link and igordala formed a defensive chain, so that the Clippers Butler and green almost become spectators. As a result, Paul had to choose to pick and roll with two inside lines. Stevens, on the other hand, must have worked out a myriad of ways to deal with the pick-up and roll down of clippers.
Hollinger couldn''t help feeling a little nervous. The Clippers must refuel.
However, before Hollinger''s tone came up, the Grizzlies took the lead in scoring.
Grizzly attack, Conley is playing an all-out positional warfare. Last season, because link''s attack ability soared, the Grizzlies liked to leave the black and white bears to fight back quickly.
But when Stevens settled in Grizzlies, it was banned.
"Unless I change the lineup or the other side doesn''t retreat in time, the offensive end will fall into the position firmly!"
Now it seems that Stevens told the players that they listened.If the black and white bears follow quickly, their physical strength will soon be exhausted. But the physical strength drops, to the double bear defense and the attack influence is huge.
It is better to fall into the position and play slowly than to hit the basket blindly. This will not only prevent the black and white bears from following the turn back, but also drag the game into the Grizzlies'' rhythm as much as possible.
After falling into position, Conley gives the ball to link, who has no ball. Link faced the defense of Karon Butler and made a direct change of direction, which made him clean!
Last season, linck against Butler, although can also get high marks, but want to get rid of him is not easy.
But now, link is faster, and Butler''s sway is slower, as Stevens says. So it''s easy for link to break through the defense.
After link''s breakthrough, Willie green came in. Green is also a veteran of his 10th season in the league, and his role in coming to the clippers is very simple: shooting three points and defending. With his old-fashioned experience and strong body, for the Clippers outside defense to enhance stability.
The Clippers are very decisive, it can be seen that the head coach deliberately arranged. According to the Grizzlies last season''s lineup, Tony Allen has no shooting ability, so the number two can go up without thinking about it.
Unfortunately, the second place for the Grizzlies is not teacher Tony, but Andre igordala, who shot 39.4% of the three-point shot in Philadelphia last season!
"After encountering the entrapment, link calmly distributed the ball to igordala. He went out of the three-point line directly. This is igordala''s first shot on behalf of the Grizzlies. Can we score it?"
As soon as Mike brin''s voice dropped, there was a white wave in the net. Igordala happily compared three fingers, and he knew that it would be fun to play in Memphis!
Indeed, igordala is not a scorer or a pure shooter. But if you dare to completely empty him, he will try his best to punish you!
Link points to igordala and gives it a high five. Igordala is the most important draw for the Grizzlies this summer. When the deal took place, most people said that guy was trying to kill himself in the trade. He also played with a powerful pound set, which was a trick to die.
But igordala slapped the media in one round.
He''s a perfect fit for link. He''s the perfect green leaf around him. Link''s assists opened the season for the Grizzlies, but also for a strong combination of a good start.
A score of three points reduced the cheering in Staples Center by half.
Of course, it also made Hollinger''s face more and more pale.
The Clippers made a second attack, and this time, they didn''t pick and roll. Paul pulled back after half-time and passed it to Griffin, who asked for the ball in the middle distance.
Griffin is confident against Randolph in the middle distance. Clippers fans are desperate to see how far Griffin has grown!
It is said that the rookie season to cut the field average 20 + 10 data inside line, are Hall of fame level. O''Neal and Duncan were MVP candidates in the third grade. Clipper fans naturally expect that Griffin will follow his predecessors.
Griffin held the ball, made a few tentative steps in the middle distance, and then suddenly accelerated the breakthrough! This summer, Griffin worked hard on his pitching and dribbling to get rid of the label of "dunk only.".
Randolph is a perfect test object. After all, from the performance of last season, Randolph''s traverse speed is too slow, Griffin thinks that he can easily break through him.
But it didn''t work out. Griffin was blocked by Randolph as soon as he rushed out! The great black bear''s lateral movement speed is not slow, almost the first time to Griffin to clamp!
This fat man is in great shape this year!
"Damn it!" Griffin gritted his teeth and forced a layup against Randolph.
Just then, Pau Gasol appeared just right under the basket and jumped to block it. His defensive timing was extremely timely, giving Griffin no chance at all.
Griffin missed the layup under the defense of the black and white bears. MVP level internal line? Come on, Griffin is far from it!
After Gasol jumped to block Griffin, he immediately took off to grab the rebound. Conley holds the ball and presses the rhythm. The Grizzlies continue to play!
"The Grizzlies have a much more consistent pace than last season, and I don''t know if that''s coach Stevens''s arrangement. If so, he has a really strong control over the court After Mike Brin, Kevin Haran also talked about the Grizzlies.
Hollinger, sandwiched in the middle, said he wanted to quit the group chat.
Conley was slowly waiting for his teammates to land outside the three-point line, and the pace was slow.
Pau Gasol suddenly bounced out and looked as if he was going to catch the ball in mid range. Jordan put it up immediately. Gasol can''t let go of his shot. Although the mouth does not admit defeat, but little Jordan is still aware of Gasol''s strength.
At this time, Conley, who was slow and leisurely, suddenly threw the ball into the air!Paul immediately turned around and he could see that the angle was an empty pass!
But the Grizzlies'' current field lineup, except igordala, should not be able to play this kind of ball! Now, with igordala standing outside the three-point line, who''s this empty pass for?
With such doubts in everyone''s heart, they saw a No!
As little Jordan was pulled out by Gasol, so the basket was left unattended temporarily. Conley seized the opportunity to pass such an aerial relay!
But Paul jokingly smile, this ball idea is really good, but pass too high, link can not receive. Link''s previous two seasons, even if play empty, also can only empty layup. After all, his athletic ability is just that.
But now this pass height, unless he dunks, otherwise is impossible to catch!
As time went on, the smile on Paul''s face gradually solidified.
I saw link holding the basketball with one hand in the air, and then swung his arm hard!
"Boom The basketball stand swayed and Staples Center was silent.
Link ended the attack with an explosive air catch smash!
"This..." Mike brin wanted to talk, but found himself unable to make a voice.
He was so surprised!
Link landed and took a look at Grant Hill on the Clippers'' bench.
How about it? Is that what you used to be?
Grant Hill of the 2004-05 season is full of nails. But it still doesn''t stop him from flying in the air.
Now, it''s a surprise for link.
5-0, as soon as the Clippers started, they were in crisis.
