After resting during the holidays, Link couldn't relax at all.

Unexpectedly, even though he had played well, the Clippers still led by 2 points.

The Grizzlies swept the Rockets 4-0 before, and compared with the Clippers, they only played the Nuggets 4-2. They can be said to have taken advantage of it, but they can also be said to have certain disadvantages.

There is no need to say much about the advantages. If you end up early and rest early, the physical condition of Grizzlies players will definitely be better than that of Clippers players.

But the disadvantage is that the Grizzlies did not encounter any resistance in the first round. When it comes to competitive state, the Clippers might be really better.

Judging from these 12 minutes of the game, the Clippers are really different from the regular season. They won't collapse quickly, and every player will do his best after they appear.

In the playoffs, just "playing well" is not enough to win an advantage. Link knew that he had to work harder in the second quarter.

"Link, you and Iguodala will change positions in the second quarter. You defend the second position and let Iguodala defend Butler." Just when Link was at a loss, the young coach brought the small stool and walked to Link.

"You have an advantage for defensive speed players. As long as Crawford can't break through, our defense will not be so embarrassing. I don't need you to completely lock him up, but every score he scores is hard-won!"

After hearing this, Link nodded firmly. Iguodala is indeed very strong, but not omnipotent. Iguodala's strong defense is strong, and he is very oppressed by the opponent. He is not easy to lose his position. Even hard-steel James is not a problem.

But Crawford's style is precisely through the dazzling dribble and speed to avoid physical confrontation. This free, street-romantic Crawford is elegant here.

Before you can fight him, he will pass you. Therefore, Iguodala has a real headache to pick up Crawford.

But Link is not afraid, because he and James are already recognized as the most versatile player in the league! And Link's defense does not rely on confrontation. Before his physical fitness was upgraded, Link's defense was already very good.

So, Link was very confident that Crawford would stop!

The break between the festivals was short, but for Link, the waiting time was still very harsh.

After the start of the second quarter, in order to widen the gap as soon as possible, the Grizzlies took all five tigers onto the court again.

Denagro seemed to guess the Grizzlies' strategy because he also put Crawford on the court and replaced Billups as the second quarter.

The reason why Crawford was present was very simple to create damage!

Crawford was so happy that Iguodala, Randolph and Gasol were all present, this was simply his hotbed!

Originally, Crawford was quite angry when he lost to j.r. in the Best Sixth Person selection this year. Now, there is a target for him to vent.

After the game started, Crawford ran through the half very actively. But he was surprised to find that Iguodala was getting further and further away from him.

"What is this guy doing? Escape?" Crawford was stunned, but soon he knew why Iguodala was away from him.

Because Iguodala's defensive target was not Crawford at all, but Barnes who was back on the field.

"Iguodala defends Barnes, then isn't it that defends me?"

In an instant, Crawford's spine became cold! The next second, Link opened his arms and leaned across in front of Crawford.

"Long time no see, I know you don't want to see me, but unfortunately, from now on, you will see me every time you attack!" Link said, lifting his trouser legs.

Teacher Tony on the bench smiled, now Crawford is finished.

Those who ask Link to lift his trousers usually don’t have a good ending.

Crawford's smile disappeared instantly. He didn't expect that the Grizzlies would really use Link to guard against him.

Crawford is not unfamiliar with Link. Because during the regular season, Crawford was "purged" by Link.

However, thanks to the difference in positions, the two did not play for a long time. But today, seeing this situation, Link completely moved to the second position. Crawford was a little nervous. In high school, even when facing German striker Detrev Schramf, who was selected for the NBA's top third team, Crawford did not feel nervous.

He shook an NBA player as a high school student at that time, making him famous.

But today, facing a junior, Crawford became nervous.

Paul was originally going to pass the ball to Crawford, but found that Crawford was just standing there in a daze, so he could only break through by himself.

But Paul's touch was really bad today. He didn't score much in the first quarter. As soon as the second quarter came, he missed another throw.

Randolph won the rebound and the Grizzlies were ready to fight back!

This time, Link was not excited. He did not fight Griffin to the low post, nor did he fight against Caron Butler at the high post. Link just passed the ball conscientiously and moved according to tactics.

Seeing this scene, Crawford became even more nervous. He knew that Link was trying to keep his strength on the defensive end!

In the end, Conley assisted Randolph to make a strong shot at the basket. Griffin still had an advantage in defending Link at low post, but defending Randolph was completely at a disadvantage.

The score was equalized, and the Clippers now urgently needed to play the offensive performance like the second half of the first quarter. Paul glanced at Crawford after receiving the basketball, and Crawford knew what was going on.

You have to go with your teeth even if you bite the bullet!

"Jamaal Crawford received the basketball. In the first quarter, he scored 7 points alone and sounded the Clippers' counterattack horn. But in the second quarter, Link was defending him. I don't know if Crawford can still maintain that momentum against the Grizzlies' star."

After receiving the ball, Crawford did not make three threatening moves, but directly changed hands from behind with a huge arc and stabbed to Link's right hand. This is one of Crawford's signature moves!

Link still remembers that when playing NBA2k games in the past, everyone had to wear a Crawford dribble bag. This move is both practical and beautiful.

But reality is different from the game. Link didn't sway, he wouldn't go to Poker in advance, he only recognized the one that Crawford started.

Without shaking Link away, Crawford quickly collided with Link!

Paul was shocked. Crawford didn't even have any space to shake out! It was like O'Neal was overturned by an unknown inside player in the inside.

Speaking of which, O'Neal seemed to have been overturned by a yellow-skinned giant

And now for Crawford, this yellow-skinned giant is Link.

Link's upper limbs are not as perverted as Tony Allen, but it is more than enough to deal with Crawford!

As soon as Link thrust his chest, Crawford's center of gravity was no longer stable, and he could not continue the next dribble movement at all.

In a hurry, Crawford passed the ball to his first sight of teammate Matt Barnes.

However, Crawford regretted it just halfway through the basketball. He saw Iguodala rushing out and stabbed the basketball away before Barnes.

Crawford made a mistake and his pass was intercepted by Iguodala!

"Andre Iguodala, he retaliated against Crawford's atrocities against him in the first quarter. The Grizzlies counterattacked, and Chris Paul pressed against Link!"

With the rapid change in the situation on the field, Barkley's speech also increased.

Paul was the first to react, and his first target to pursue defense was Link!

Even if it was a foul, Paul didn't want Link to score easily.

Paul made many small moves. He kept grabbing Link's jersey, making Link unable to sprint comfortably.

But even so, Iguodala, who was pushing with the ball, chose to hand the ball over Link who was running wildly in the middle.

The moment Link received the ball, Paul stole it from behind Link. He was lucky, so he could cut the ball. If the dribble was not good, at least he could prevent Link from scoring directly.

However, Link forced his jump while Paul was almost hanging on himself and pushed the basketball gently towards the basket before losing all his weight.

Paul widened his eyes. Is this guy only the basket in his eyes? He is already unstable and he is still thinking about shooting!

As a result, the next second, basketball and Link fell to the ground. Link fell to the ground, and the basketball was hollowed into the net. The score was effective, and there was a penalty. Chris Paul lost his wife and his troops!

"Hey, Link got a chance to score a three-pointer. Paul definitely didn't expect that he could not hold Link up. It seems that not everyone will avoid the fierce foul."

"Paul thought, but when Link decided to do something, he couldn't even hold on!"

Link was afraid that there would be a ghost. He was not afraid of his life in the Development Alliance and others on the training ground for an annual salary of 20,000 yuan. Now he is getting tens of millions a year, so he is not even afraid!

Link got up without even waiting for his teammates to come up to help him. Applause came from the Federal Express Arena, all dedicated to Link.

Adding free throws is naturally a steady hit. Link's free throw shooting percentage this season is 93.6%, which is higher than Crawford last season. Sending Link to the free throw line is equivalent to giving away points.

Now, the Grizzlies have taken over 3 points! Once the Grizzlies defend, there will be no problems with their offense.

Crawford is under great pressure now, and he must join the war with Link!

"Kill and continue to create killing!" Denagro commanded hard on the sidelines, and this round, Griffin took on the heavy responsibility.

But Randolph is now close to her, not even leaving Griffin the chance to speed up.

Griffin forced himself to eat the three-second zone in a crooked manner. After seeing himself surrounded by the Black and White Bears, he could only pass the ball back outside the three-point line. Griffin didn't want to be cheated. He knew that being willing to act in the playoffs was an uneasy behavior.

Griffin's pass was unbiased and flew towards Crawford.

A pot of water falls from the sky. What else can Crawford do? Take it!

Crawford still did not do three threatening movements, but used the shaking of his head and lower body to make a beautiful frontal change!

Link was deceived this time. He thought Crawford was going to move to the left, but he didn't expect that the guy suddenly pulled the ball to the right at the moment of starting up!

Crawford was secretly happy! Iverson shook Jordan back then, and that was the action he used! Jordan would be shaken, not to mention that Link was not Jordan!

But Crawford seemed to have forgotten that he was not Iverson either.

Crawford had just accelerated and was about to pass by Link. But the next second, Link moved horizontally to Crawford!

"How could it be so fast!" Crawford was shocked. Link was a player with a strong third position! How could a third position have such a fast horizontal movement speed?

Link's speed is not only reflected in the offensive end.

This gave Crawford a new understanding of the word "almighty".

There was little offensive time left, so Crawford could only shoot without completely getting rid of Link.

The ending was obvious, and Link ruthlessly slapped the basketball that Crawford threw to the ground. For the second time in a row, Crawford missed offense!

Conley rushed up immediately, picked up the basketball, and the Grizzlies fought back again.
Chapter completed!
