The game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers reached the fourth quarter. Judging from the situation in the first half, the fourth quarter should be the essence of the game.

But at this time, the ratings of this game had fallen to the bottom.

Fans would rather watch the Hornets and Heats confrontation that was held at the same time today, and would rather watch the grudge between the Lakers and the Nuggets than pay attention to this strong showdown.

Because the game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers is no longer suspense, it really makes people want to doze off.

The final battle in the fourth quarter, which should have been exciting, was completely ruined by Link's 15-0 score in the third quarter.

Once competitive sports competitions lose their competitive nature and suspense, no matter how good the scene is, it will be useless.

"The game actually ends for 5 minutes. Except for Memphis fans, no one has watched this game." Mark Jackson looked at the game time and found that there were 5 minutes left before the end, and used the word "ju" to describe it.

Even he felt it was too difficult!

"There's no way. No one expected Link to take the game away at the beginning of the third quarter. I bet that the Clippers players must have been thinking about how to fight back during the break and were full of confidence. But at the beginning of the third quarter, they were hit by a blow. I said that the Grizzlies would be the first to climax in the third quarter."

Hubby Brown looked at Mark Jackson proudly, and he successfully predicted the game's trend.

"Well, you won this time. Huby Link's explosive scoring power is indeed incredible. He almost reached an offensive climax by himself. The Clippers' wings are really weak. If they want to go further this season, they must strengthen their forward line."

"It's not just the front line, Marc Gasol and Hassan Whiteside's data are also quite outstanding today." Hubby Brown said, looking at the data of Gasol and Whiteside.

With not many shots and playing time in the second half, Gasol still scored all-around data with rebounds and 7 assists.

If Gasol scored this data, it would be amazing that Whiteside's rebound was blocked by four blocks.

As a 10-day short-term worker, Whiteside won a double-double in the second game of the Grizzlies, and the data was completely outdated by Andrew Jordan.

Jordan Jr. played a good ball in the quarter today, and was bound to his hands and feet in the next three quarters. So far, he only scored 11 points and 6 rebounds.

Griffin's performance was not satisfactory, with 14 points, 7 rebounds and 3 mistakes, which was the data handed over by the No. 2009 No. 1 pick.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. combined, and the score was not as high as Gasol alone. The Grizzlies' double towers completely beat the Clippers' 30 million inside line.

Even without the 15 points that Link broke out, the Clippers might not be able to beat the Grizzlies today. So Hubby Brown said that the Clippers' problem is not just the front line.

"Yes, it's not just the front line. This is the second time that Whiteside has subverted people's imagination of him. The Clippers are full of confidence in their inside line before the race, but today they have not gained any advantage in the inside line. Do you think the Grizzlies will sign the second 10-day contract with Whiteside?"

"No, probably not." Faced with this question with a clear answer, Hubby Brynn's answer was unexpected.

"No!? You mean, Whiteside's performance is not outstanding enough?" Mark Jackson thought Hubby Blanc had a mistake.

"No, Whiteside's performance is certainly excellent enough. So the Grizzlies should sign him directly to the end of the season next time. His career as a 10-day short-term worker has completely ended."

While Hubby Brown and Mark Jackson were joking, a harsh beep finally sounded in the Federal Express Arena.

At the end of the game, the Los Angeles Clippers rushed to the garbage time and finally narrowed the gap to an acceptable range.

Since he was beaten 15-0 in the third quarter, the Clippers have been chasing points. Of course, they didn't catch up until the end.

Chris Paul looked at the final score in disbelief, his eyes unconscious.

Until now, he still had the scene of Link scoring a goal in front of him.

This is not the first time Paul has been defending the opponent's number one scorer. He has played against Durant, James, Anthony, and countless opponents who are taller and stronger than him.

But even those people cannot score as much as they want in front of themselves.

It was Link who allowed Paul to truly experience what "not defenseless" means.

This is the first time Paul has been beaten so miserably since he entered the NBA.

In the division final, Paul felt as if he had suddenly become farther away from his goal.

Paul took a last look at the big screen on the scene, took a look at Link's data with assists and 12 rebounds, and then turned around and left.

Another summer has passed, but everything is no different from half a year ago.

If the Clippers are now playing a 7-game 4-win series with the Grizzlies, Paul estimates that the final score will be 4-0.

Chris Paul's competitive and proud heart was completely shattered by Link's 15 points.

The Clippers 3 left the stadium in a down-and-out manner, no one paid attention to it.

After all, only winners are eligible for the spotlight.

※※※

After the game, Whiteside became a hot spot for journalists again.

If defeating Split in the last game against the Spurs was just a small test, then Whiteside will prove his strength today, scoring a double-double in front of Jordan and Griffin today.

Whiteside was very happy, "Link passed me a few good goals so I could easily put the ball into the basket. I now know why players who come to Memphis will get better."

Gasol, who scored the highest 26 points next season, also mentioned Link in an interview, "We can win because of him. He said during the break that we could get the game before the third quarter. Everyone thought he was just kidding. As a result, he really did it, and he did it alone."

Tony Allen's answer in an interview was even simpler and rough. "In the first quarter, Chris Paul did something bad to Link, and Link was very angry about this. Everyone should have seen the fate of Link after he was angry. Remember, he is the number one dangerous person in the league, don't mess with him."

Although the reporters did not interview Link directly today, Link's influence is everywhere.

Almost every Grizzlies player interviewed will more or less mention their leaders.

The reason why Link did not accept any interviews from reporters today is that as soon as the game ended, Link received a complete inspection by the Grizzlies' medical team.

Although Link insisted on finishing the game today, the team doctors were still very worried about Link's strain in the first quarter.

Some injuries will not make players unable to play on the spot, but after careful examination, it may be very serious.

For example, Yao Ming, who was in the 2009 Western Conference Semi-Finals, insisted on playing the whole game after being injured, but in fact his injury situation was not optimistic at all.

This year is a critical period for the Grizzlies to create a three-game championship dynasty, and everyone knows that Link is the guarantee of the championship.

Therefore, Link's physical condition affects the fate of the entire team.

"Hey, it's too exaggerated. I've played the whole game smoothly, what can I do?" Link lay on the hospital bed. Although he knew that he was not careless about injuries, the entire medical team and coaching staff were surrounding him. Link still felt it was too exaggerated.

"Well, you're right, you're not seriously injured. Link only had a slight muscle strain, so there's no big problem. But for safety reasons, we'd recommend him to take a few games off." Chief team doctor Moon gave his own advice after the examination.

"Is that so? How long does it take to rest?"

"It's about two weeks. Under normal circumstances, it doesn't take that long, but two weeks are enough for Link to recover to 100% of his state. This is the safest way."

Link lying on the hospital bed smiled proudly. Two weeks? It was impossible for Jogel to allow it for such a long time. At most, one or two rests, and he could return to the court.

As a result, what surprised Link was that Jogel nodded without thinking about it and adopted Moon's suggestion.

"Okay, then let him rest for two weeks."
