Doug rivers is aware of the Clippers'' strengths and, of course, the Clippers'' biggest weakness.
Matt Barnes is the weakest link in the Clippers. What''s more, rivers can''t find a more suitable starting flank than Barnes.
Due to the departure of Dudley and Karon Butler, the clippers have very weak flank reserves this year. On the bench, only tekogru and Crawford can take the third place.
However, Turk tekogru is no longer brave, Crawford is a pure scorer. The clippers have no way to defend link if they''re on their flanks.
If Barnes and link are one-on-one, rivers estimates that link will get another 60 points.
Rivers will not turn a blind eye to this, so today he prepared a luxurious "package package package" for link.
"Once he breaks through, everyone shrinks around him! Get tough and let him know what pain is at last! I know. Link''s passing is very good. But I believe that the attack of the rest of the Grizzlies can''t be compared with us! "
Before the game, rivers once again stressed to the players how to contain link today.
To put it bluntly, it''s forcing link to pass the ball. I''d rather let him pass the ball to others than let him score easily.
Rivers believed that the Clippers'' attack was more powerful than the rest of the Grizzlies.
It''s impossible to lock the grizzly bear completely. But locking the Grizzlies'' strongest attack point, and then crushing the opponent with more exquisite attack, rivers thinks this is the only feasible way.
Everyone nodded solemnly, and Chris Paul, eager to win, rubbed his hands.
Let others know pain, this is his specialty!
In the cheers of grizzly fans, the game officially started.
Grizzlies and Clippers start with the same as before several games, the first attack after the start of the game, Paul and Jordan played a successful air contact.
This ball, Paul deliberately in the high position and little Jordan play pick and roll. Matt Barnes landed in the bottom left corner and pulled Lynn away from him.
Barnes although the state of decline, but this season still handed over 36.2% of the three-point shooting rate.
And the average number of three-point out hand and three-point hit number per field set a career high. Outside the three-point line, link was afraid to let him go.
Without link to make trouble, Paul and little Jordan played much easier.
After the screen, little Jordan quickly cut in, compared with the athletic ability, Gasol is really not the opponent of little Jordan. Whether it''s moving speed or jumping, the two people are too different.
Jordan after the cover of the fast step into the forbidden area, Gasol just turned ready to chase back, little Jordan has already run to the basket to take off.
Paul found the right time to throw the ball gently, little Jordan easily in the air to catch the basketball and completed the slam dunk!
Gasol can only look up to it. He can''t do anything about it.
Although Jordan is not a scoring center, he has scored 20 + points twice this season.
With Paul at his side, little Jordan can eat enough cakes.
At the beginning, the Clippers scored with inside advantage. Rivers clapped with satisfaction on the sidelines, a sign that the Clippers are in control of the game!
After the attack, the Clippers did not take it lightly, but immediately backed out. Paul reminds everyone to pay attention, their whole team''s defense, almost all for link.
Link wanted to level as soon as possible, and the Clippers had weak defense at position three. So in the first round, link is going to get the ball right and plan to eat Barnes alone.
Barnes has been tortured by link in the playoffs last season. In the past, as long as a pair of link, Barnes will feel anxious.
But today it''s different. Barnes knows that he''s not fighting alone.
Link made two exploratory steps and then suddenly accelerated, trying to pass the aging Barnes.
Although Barnes could not block link for the first time, he gave him a very rough physical confrontation!
At the same time, little Jordan immediately raised it, as if a high wall directly blocked link''s way!
Link was almost bumped into little Jordan by Barnes. After two people''s continuous rough collision, link fell to the ground unsteadily.
At this time, Chris Paul was the first one to jump forward actively. The whole person directly overthrew link, called for "Taishan to suppress the top", and competed with link for cricket!
In the chaos, link''s ball was snatched by Paul. Paul on link passes the ball to Reddick and the Clippers fight back!
The three men of the clipper team up to make link''s first mistake.
"Damn it!" Link really didn''t expect that things would turn out like this, clippers, it''s totally wrestling! Between the electric light and flint, he was put down.
Link was just about to get up from the ground, but he felt dragged by someone from behind. Turn around to see, Paul is entangled himself on the floor!Link and Paul are like Rodman and Karl Malone in the ''90s. They''re fighting each other on the ground. Nobody can remember.
Well, it was free wrestling. Now it''s mud wrestling.
Link is not easy to get rid of Paul, stand up, there, Griffin in the counterattack against Harris to fight.
Harris weight and strength than Griffin or nearly, when Griffin rushed up, Harris really suffered.
The Clippers scored two goals on the inside edge and just had to rely on a rough bag to cause link to miss.
Rivers nodded with satisfaction, for the moment, the Clippers are dominant!
"Shit, is that your strategy?" Link looked back at Paul angrily. The Clippers'' defense made it clear that they would hurt themselves.
"If you can''t stand it, don''t fight. It''s a man''s game." Paul would not say anything good to link.
When it comes to small moves, Paul is no worse than the players of the ''90s.
On the big screen, there was no replay of Griffin''s goal just now, but the entanglement between link and Paul on the floor.
All the grizzly fans are calling Paul dirty again, but as long as he can help the team get an advantage, Paul doesn''t care.
Just now the clipper''s rough package, has let link taste the fierce. Link is not the head of the iron master, since you are wrapped, then I will use the pass to deal with you.
Once again, link broke through bravely. Once again, Barnes made the first trip, and little Jordan came up rudely.
The Clippers had the same defense.
Link feels like he''s not playing basketball, he''s playing rugby! As long as they start, there will be a group of people rushing up, eager to put themselves on the ground friction.
Link in his own fall before the ball to Gasol''s hands, Gasol was just about to shoot, little Jordan but quickly blocked up.
It has to be said that little Jordan is indeed one of the best defensive centers of the season. The speed of his movement allowed him to quickly get out of link''s bag and return to Gasol.
Pau Gasol''s mid-range shot was interrupted by little Jordan, and the Clippers'' defense was successful again!
Just as link was about to run back, he found that his leg was bound by something. He jerked it!
"Shit!" A sharp pain suddenly came, and link fell to the ground in an instant.
Looking back, it''s Paul again!
In the moment of link preparing to defend, Paul once again "accidentally" and link''s legs entangled together. On the face of it, Paul ran past link, and they got entangled.
But through the slow motion playback, we can see that Paul inserted his leg between link''s legs very precisely, and pressed it firmly at the moment of link''s exerting force.
Two huge forces pull on link''s legs, which makes him fall to the ground.
Link fell down and couldn''t return to defense in time, so Reddick immediately put the ball on the ball and passed it to Barnes, who had landed in the bottom corner.
The latter in the case of no one to mark the shooting, easy hit!
7-0, Los Angeles Clippers have a wonderful start!
Paul stood up and ran away, clapping his teammates high. Link gritted his teeth to get up, only to find the pain in his leg unbearable.
Seeing link limping, Joel immediately called a pause.
"That rubbish!" Tony Allen gritted his teeth and stood on the edge of the court. Paul was crazy to win today.
If one is still an accident, it is definitely not a coincidence if it is twice in a row.
Paul can''t help but start to do these small moves. Paul was already known as dirty in the United States during the NCAA period. In 2005, when he was still playing in NCAA, he used to smash eggs in the crotch of Julius Hodge''s direct hand hammer without the ball. At that time, it was national news.
His Vickers Forest University even did not wait for the official punishment, voluntarily suspended Paul. A team voluntarily banned its own star, which shows how bad the incident was.
Paul entered the NBA with a "dirty" label. He is a recidivist with a lot of criminal record. In the scout report when Paul was in the draft, the scouts even wrote this down in the shortcomings.
People who like Paul can say that it is a symbol of his fighting spirit, but it is far fetched to say so.
Now, in the face of last season''s 4-0 sweep of their opponents, in the face of the team''s recent poor situation, Paul seems to show fangs. He didn''t blow the eggs with his hand hammer directly. He was very restrained.
After the pause, link limped off the court. After the team doctor examination, said that link is only a slight strain, no major hindrance, rest for a while can continue to play.
But at least for the rest of the first quarter, link can''t play.
Link was very angry. In fact, he didn''t have much antipathy to Paul before. Although the other party''s actions were rude and rubbish words were unpleasant, they were all within the range of link''s acceptance.
In order to win, is it difficult to treat your opponent gently?But deliberately wounding people touches link''s red line.
Link not only can''t do it himself, but also hates others.
But it has to be admitted that Paul''s actions did give the Clippers a huge advantage.
After link''s exit, the Clippers solved the biggest problem.
So throughout the first quarter, the clippers were sailing with the wind and the water. Jimmy Butler tried to score, but his explosive power was never comparable to link''s.
Paul took gaggriffin and little Jordan to throw buckles, so that two inside teammates eat cake to eat full. At the last moment, he led the team to play a wave of 8-2, and finally let the Clippers enter the second quarter by 28-20.
"Without link, the Grizzlies lack aggression. Although Jimmy scored seven points in the first quarter, it was not enough. The clippers have played their inside edge to the full, and now, all the suspense is in link. Second, he can''t play energy-saving. What kind of game he can play will determine the trend of the game
Of course, Joel also knew this. During the break, he squatted in front of link for the first time to confirm his health.
"You can''t fight them like that again. It''s too dangerous. The Clippers made it clear today that they did it on purpose. They wanted to limit you in this way. " Joel didn''t want to take the risk of link, just hurt Randolph and igordala, let the Grizzlies encounter such a big problem.
If you hurt link, it''s not something you can fill in the free agent market.
Link nodded his approval. Although he can play now, his legs are still not sharp and he is not in the best condition. If we try to strike hard, we will do more harm than good.
The Clippers are very clear today. Even if link is hurt, they don''t care. Fight with them. That''s the middle and lower side.
If the Clippers don''t have a clip link, the Grizzlies have to be able to suppress the Clippers.
But just now, instead, it was the Clippers'' attack that obviously suppressed the Grizzlies without link, especially on the inside.
Little Jordan held on to Gasol, so Gasol couldn''t play. Harris is also closely pressed, in flexibility than Griffin to play an overwhelming advantage.
On the offensive side, little Jordan played happily with his athletic ability and Griffin''s greater tonnage and strength.
Only by reversing the weakness of the interior can we reverse the whole attack.
"I have an idea..." after thinking for a long time, link looked up at Joel.
"If we can have players inside Griffin, Jordan will have to make up for the basket. Jordan made up for defense under the basket, Gasol has a large number of mid shot opportunities. If Gasol throws, little Jordan will lose his skills. At that time, I won''t encounter any more bags. "
At this point, link''s eyes fell on Gasol and Whiteside at the same time.
The 30 million inner lines of the Clippers may not be that terrible.
