Chris Paul was stolen as soon as he came up, which instantly dropped the high morale of the Clippers during the break.

People were asking a question in their minds at this moment, "Can Chris Paul really be blocked by Link, right?"

All Clippers players told themselves that it would definitely not happen, and Paul would definitely lead everyone out of the predicament.

But in fact everyone knows that this is completely possible!

The Clippers, who originally wanted the Grizzlies to look good, are now starting to worry about their own destiny.

Link continued to stand in front of Paul, but this time, Paul's momentum was much weaker than he had just passed.

"Be careful Chris, I fell a lot just now." While Link lowered his center of gravity, he also began to "mouth" Paul.

"You are still 9 points behind, don't be too happy too early, bastard." Paul responded toughly. He is not Jordan Jr., and he will not be able to explode with his mentality after a few words from Link.

Paul continued to look for an offensive opportunity. After seeing Griffin reach mid-range and get a shot, he was ready to send the ball over.

But Link reached out to block the passing route at the first time. Paul couldn't believe that Link could actually do this defense!

His reaction ability, his countermeasure ability, his defensive consciousness... is almost perfect!

Paul curled his lips. It is difficult to pull out the opportunity by just standing in a stake. The number one position must increase his offensive threat in order to tear the defense line.

Only by tearing the opponent's defense line can teammates get opportunities.

Paul then wanted to break through Link with his dribble and speed, and playing No. 3 with No. 1 is actually a misalignment. Paul believes that he still has an advantage in flexibility.

Paul then began to dribble the ball quickly with his left and right hands, and he was definitely a master of dribbling breakthroughs. There were countless players who were swung by Paul, and the shots of him swaying his opponents may be cut into a collection of not short time.

Paul observed Link's center of gravity change and was ready to seize the opportunity of Link's center of gravity shifting to accelerate the breakthrough. However, Paul spent a long time on the road and found that Link's center of gravity had not changed at all!

"Hey, you won't want to be so lucky for 24 seconds, right?" Link continued to mock him. No one can be irritated. The only difference is the time it takes to irritate.

Jordan Jr. can be irritated in a few minutes, but Paul can just hold on for a longer time than Jordan Jr.

Paul himself was also embarrassed, his movements were as fierce as a tiger, and he actually stood there. The picture was awkward to the bone just thinking about it.

There is no way, Paul has to force a breakthrough!

Paul's physical ability to fight is definitely not bad, and his small movements often make him gain advantage in the confrontation.

This time, Paul also used one hand to hold Link when he broke through, and then secretly tried to push Link away.

But Link was as stable as a rock and still stuck to Paul. Paul's ability to confront him in the third position can only guarantee that he will not suffer any losses at most. But it is very difficult for him to gain an advantage from it.

Paul finally chose to pass the ball during a difficult marches, but because the Grizzlies used tight man-to-man, it was difficult for the rest of the Clippers to get comfortable catch space. Moreover, Paul's pass quality was not high in the fierce confrontation.

In the end, facing the sudden pass, Griffin could only stretch out his short hand in despair, and then watched the basketball rub his fingertips and flew out of the bounds.

Chris Paul made a pass mistake, the Grizzlies' ball rights!

"I made a mistake. Link made Chris Paul's mistake in the second leg! Paul only made two mistakes in the first half! But as soon as the second half came in two rounds, Paul made two mistakes. Link's defense had an immediate effect, and this is the best opportunity for the Grizzlies to narrow the gap!"

Hubby Brown clapped his hands happily. Seeing that Paul stopped doing whatever he wanted, Old Brown seemed to see hope for a reversal victory.

"This time you passed the mistake yourself, it's not bad for me. Keep working hard next time, Chris." Link continued to attack Paul with a verbal spree, trying to disrupt Paul's mentality.

But it is not enough to curb Paul on the defensive end, and the Grizzlies have to continue to torture Paul's nerves on the offensive end.

So, Mike Conley seemed to have become the main attack point of the Grizzlies in the second half of the game, and the Grizzlies did not intend to give Paul any chance to breathe.

Link personally sets cover for Conley, and he is always in trouble for Paul.

Conley broke through, while Paul, who was furious, pushed him with the trend when he bypassed Link.

But this time, Link did not take it on his shoulder, but leaned back.

"ah!"

Link screamed and fell to the ground, afraid that he would not be able to attract the referee's attention.

The referee immediately blew his whistle and shouted at the technical station, "Clippers No. 3, defensive foul!"

"What! That's a fucking fake fall, can't you tell me??" Paul must have quit. He admitted that he pushed Link, but his strength would never push Link to the point.

The referee ignored Paul and went directly to the technical stand to watch the replay. On the video, people could clearly see Paul pushing someone.

As for whether the pushing action can directly overturn Link, it is not Paul's final say. When Link acts like him, the referee believes Link.

Off the field, Tony Allen almost couldn't help laughing. Link is very strong, but these evil ways are also terrible.

As long as he can win, Link doesn't mind any means other than intentional injury.

Facing the replay, Paul was speechless. He turned his head and glared at Link, but Link just shrugged at Paul.

Defeating the opponent's heart is part of the defense.

Paul is now upset and he can no longer focus on scoring and defending like in the first half.

Link believed that even if Paul didn't have an explosive mentality, he would definitely not be able to perform like the first half again.

The Grizzlies reorganized the offense. This time, Conley assisted Iguodala to make a three-pointer, which undoubtedly added a big hole to the Clippers, which had already begun to leak.

The score difference was only 6 points left, and the Grizzlies were about to completely capture the momentum of the game. "Captain" Paul nervously directed his "Sailors" to counterattack, but they were a little confused at this time.

This time, Paul used the screen to break through and wanted to score with an emergency stop jump shot.

However, Paul's emergency stop did not throw away Link. Link seemed to be able to overcome inertia, and suddenly stopped suddenly at the moment of Paul's emergency stop.

Seeing that Paul could not get rid of Link when he saw that he was in a hurry to speed up again!

But Link's ability to stop and get off the emergency is not inferior to Paul. Paul made a layup without throwing away Link. There was no suspense in the ending, and Link slapped Paul's layup away!

"Chris needs to calm down again. Since Link switched to him, he seemed to have completely lost the rhythm of the game!" Jeff Van Gundy on the commentary stage seemed to be more anxious than Paul.

Three attacks, two mistakes, and one blocked. Paul's offensive performance so far in the second half is completely different from the first half.

People don’t know whether it was Paul himself or whether Link’s defense was too strong for Paul!

The Clippers players would rather believe in the former situation than face reality. They kept telling themselves that Paul would definitely be able to recover his form, but it was just a matter of time.

However, a few minutes later, when the Grizzlies tied the gap, Chris Paul still did not show what people expected.

Link is like a street villain. He is provoking Paul at all times. He gives the opponent the roughest physical confrontation. He handes the offense to his teammates as much as possible, and then uses all his strength to "torture" Paul.

Doug Rivers later replaced Redick with Jamal Crawford, hoping to increase the offensive point with the ball. At the same time, he also hoped to bring trouble to Conley's defense and liberate Paul.

However, Conley's defense against Crawford was unexpectedly excellent. Paul was able to beat Conley in the first half, but this does not mean that anyone can bully the point guard who was selected for the best defensive team last season.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies became more and more brave, while the Clippers lost their offensive style in the first half due to their unfavorable defense.

After the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies, who were originally 13 points behind, became 6 points ahead!

Link scored 8 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, which seemed ordinary and did not explode.

But if you look at Paul's data, you can instantly find the reason why the Grizzlies reversed the situation!

1 of 5 shots, 3 mistakes, and only 3 points... This is the data Chris Paul showed in the third quarter. When Paul encountered the best defensive player, his scoring momentum was immediately curbed!

In the second half of the third quarter, Paul became more and more impatient. Link's continuous trash talk offensive seemed to have affected Paul's mood. The more impatient, the less Paul's efficiency was.

The only comforting thing for Paul in the third quarter was that he still hit a three-pointer, which turned his three-point shooting percentage in this game into a terrible 7-for-7 shot.

But only Paul himself knows that his exaggerated three-point shooting percentage will not do anything at all!

"Link's third quarter game explained to us what is the real best defensive player! He is definitely one of the most dominant outside defenders in the 21st century! You can even remove one!"

Hubby Brown waved his fist suddenly. Now, no one will question the rationality of Link's award!

The Los Angeles Clippers want to test how capable the new best defensive player is, but in just one quarter, the best defensive player is enough to remember them for life.

During the holidays, when Link walked off the court, all the fans stood up and shouted MVP.

Once again, Link stood up and got out of danger at the Federal Express Arena.

The Clippers are extremely happy and sad. It is difficult for them to recover in the fourth quarter with big ups and downs. At that time, Link will also make a lot of effort on the offensive end while ensuring defense.
