1340: Dumpling filling meets dumpling skin(1/2)
Paul George came to Los Angeles not to enjoy the California sunshine and the sea view of BMW Hill Gardens.
He just celebrated his 30th birthday a few weeks ago, which means he is no longer a young player in the league.
From now on, even George himself doesn't know how long his peak state can last. He is not Link, and he can still play like a 23-year-old player at the age of 32.
Even if it's just a year of extra time now, it's extremely dangerous for him.
The championship, for Link, may be just a reward that he will receive after working hard for a season.
But for most other players, this is a dream glory!
Paul George also wants to prove himself with a championship. It would be even better if he could beat Link to win the championship!
Therefore, although the game has just begun, although this is only the first time Link has taken the ball to attack today.
But George still showed up 200%, and from the beginning, he had to put pressure on Link!
Link slowly dribbled near the three-point line, and George spread his long arms to increase his defensive area as much as possible.
At this time, Link suddenly made two hand-changing dribbling moves very hard, and it seemed that there was a possibility of breaking through at any time.
But George knew that he could not retreat. Even if he just took a step back, Link could directly pull up and complete a three-point jump shot!
Just as George was hesitating, Link suddenly pierced to his right.
George was still thinking about whether Link would shoot, so he didn't respond in time.
To be precise, George's reaction is not slow. But when facing the league, you will be thrown away even if you react half a beat slower.
Link's breakthrough was faster and more ruthless than George's breakthrough just now.
George tried hard to block it, but he was still thrown away most of his body.
Seeing this, Zubac had to abandon Jokic to make up for defense.
If Jokic makes three-pointers, he still has a high chance of not making a shot. But if Link hits the basket directly, he will be completely finished.
In today's game, the Clippers must not lose money. In any defense, they must strive for excellence.
Zubac walked to the basket and raised his arms high.
A center forward with a height of 2.16 meters is so straited under the basket, most people can't even see where the basket is, and they don't have the courage to challenge the defense directly.
But Link was like a heavy truck with a brake failure, and there was no sign of slowing down, and he rushed towards Zubac.
Looking at Link who was getting closer and closer to him, Zubac swallowed.
He had a bad premonition.
In an instant, Zubac saw Link flying into the air. Link's sprinting speed and bounce speed made Zubac get goosebumps.
Almost in a moment, Link's body rose to the highest point.
Zubac was about to jump to stop him, but Link took the lead.
The extremely fast breakthrough speed brought great impact bonus to Link. Although Zubac was a few times larger than Link, he could not resist such impact after physical contact with Link in the air.
And at altitude, Zubac was far from reaching the basketball raised by Link.
Link's bounce completely smoothed out his height disadvantage.
In this way, Link smashed the basketball's hands into the frame through the tower of Zubac.
After George dunked Jokic, Link immediately returned a dunk to the Clippers.
"Another dunk, Link's response was so timely! Today, neither side wanted to let go!"
Amid the narrator's roar, Link landed and spread his hands at George.
George's athletic ability is very strong, but Link showed a more perverted athletic ability than George with practical actions.
From the first step to the final dunk, Link completed it in one go, making it easier than George's dunk just now.
George knew that Link was fighting with him, and he wanted to destroy himself with his own hands.
It is no coincidence that I responded with a buckle so quickly, it was telling George: "Don't show off in front of me! I can do what you can, and I can do better than you!"
George felt tremendous pressure. In the previous few games, Link's main goal was Leonard. Facing the defense of others, George's score was always very easy.
But today, Link is eyeing him.
This game will be very different from all previous games.
"Come on, George, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's useless to be afraid, there's no way out." George silently helped himself, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
George, who had already scored 5 points in a row, continued to ask for the ball to prepare for the attack. This time, he misplaced in front of Jamie Cheung and Green.
Green is no worse than George in height and wingspan, and George cannot do anything he wants now as he faces Brooks.
Seeing this, George chose to play Green on his back.
Many fans who watched the game later thought that George did not have the ability to play behind the scenes, but in fact this was a very wrong understanding.
George was a great player in his back-to-body singles. Later, he switched to the Thunder and the Clippers. Because of tactical needs, George began to move more outside the three-point line and rarely used back-to-body singles.
Just like Harden, although he almost doesn't shoot at mid-range now, Harden's mid-range is actually the top level in the league.
Green held George's back confidently, but when George suddenly exerted force, Green was still hit and took a big step back.
George's power is even better than Greene imagined!
After pushing a little space, George seized the opportunity to turn over and jump shot. When Green, who was knocked away, was too late to interfere with it.
George's touch was very soft. The basketball passed Green's fingertips and drew a rainbow arc before entering the net.
"George scored 7 points in a row, and he was not depressed by Link's dunk just now. George is still strong today and he doesn't want this season to end like this."
George's performance made Los Angeles fans extremely pleased.
The Grizzlies will definitely win the series record with a 3-2 lead, and maybe they can be broken.
George was also satisfied with his current state. He was full of confidence now. He felt that he could score until the end.
But just 20 seconds later, George found himself a little overly optimistic.
Because Link came to George again, and, just like George did to Green just now, he planned to play singles on his back!
"Link singles against George, and Link seemed to be intentional about responding with the same offensive movement as George. George dunked Jokic, and Link dunked Zubac. George just made a jump shot behind his back, and Link is now ready to try it."
George swallowed, and Link seemed to have done this on purpose!
But no matter what Link was thinking, George had to do his best to stop him.
The premise is that he can stop it.
Link's back-to-back push made George retreat step by step. George and Link were incomparable in terms of low-post defense.
There is a difference in strength between the two, but Link can hardly steel Zion Williamson.
Link played back from the middle distance and pushed to the near-the-counter area. At this time, Link suddenly turned back, as if ready to jump shot!
George hurriedly interfered, he didn't want to be humiliated by Link on the spot!
But after George pounced on him, Link suddenly paused, stopped shooting, then took a step next to George, straightened his arm, and gently picked it up, and the basketball hit!
A wonderful under-the-scenes performance, Link demonstrated what a real low-season single is on George's head.
"Another time, Link scored the ball in the same way as George, which was a naked provocation!" Mike Bryn was sure that Link did it on purpose!
Link knew that George was the most dangerous person today, so he decided to erase this dangerous person from the beginning!
George was sweating profusely, his smugness and joy just now swept away.
No matter what he does, Link seems to be able to respond in the same way. This feeling is simply terrifying!
"You can't make a fuss today, George. I said, you have to wait another year." After scoring the goal, Link also squirted trash words at George.
Although the two are college friends, Link was merciless in the game!
George gritted his teeth, and when he heard the words "wait for another year", he felt upset.
He decided to take out all the things in his arsenal for victory!
After that, George took advantage of the cover and made a big breakthrough, then stopped and scored a mid-range shot, scoring 9 points in a row!
But soon, Link scored a goal with an almost identical trick, and approached the score again!
One minute later, George made a long shot from outside the three-point line. But even Brooks' even interference, he finally gave up the box and his continuous goal record was interrupted.
Little did he know that Link also chose a three-pointer to shoot in the next round, and he was one step away from the three-point line!
As a result, Link hit this three-pointer beautifully!
Link can score even if George can score, but Link can score even if George can score!
The fans of the audience were in panic again. Did George perform poorly today? No, he performed very well.
But Link... People always feel that he can easily perform better than George!
In the subsequent game, the two continued to confront each other, fighting fiercely.
Almost George punched, Link was going to go back.
Break through the ball, layups in the near frame, one-on-one single challenge... They used almost all the skills they could use.
To be continued...
