At the beginning of the game, Link let Lillard and Aldridge know what oppression is.

Lillard experienced Conley's tenacious defense in the first goal, while Aldridge experienced Link's incredible offense.

After witnessing Link's terrible score-taking ability, Aldridge couldn't help but look up at the dome of the Federal Express Arena and look at the brand new championship pennant.

From last season to now, countless teams have suffered defeats in this place. Only a very small number of teams can escape from this wooden floor. Aldridge has always been curious about the secret that the Grizzlies can continue to win, and now, he seems to have found the answer.

Aldridge suddenly felt extremely stressed. Although it was just one goal, that goal had already made him realize the difficulty of winning at the Federal Express Arena.

By the time the Trail Blazers attacked again, the Grizzlies' defense had been fully formed. This time, Aldridge did not cover his teammates, but instead sat in the key inside position.

At the same time, everyone else was pulled apart and created singles room for Aldridge.

Aldridge played singles at a low post, which is the easiest but most efficient tactic of the Trail Blazers! Link scored a magical goal, Aldridge also wanted to return the color quickly.

When he felt hot, Aldridge could easily score continuously with his turnover jump shot. He was full of confidence in his low singles.

Lillard scored accurately and slapped into the penalty area and sent it into Aldridge's hand. Randolph held Aldridge's waist and prevented him from exerting force. But Aldridge didn't care. His back-to-back singles were not squeezing in.

Aldridge got the basketball, felt the defense with his back, and then prepared to attack!

At this moment, Link actively double-teamed up and prevented Aldridge from turning around and facing the frame!

Aldridge really didn't expect Link's backup defense to come so quickly, and he began to look for Batum's position and prepare to pass the ball.

Aldridge is a player who is extremely demanding in shooting. If the receiving position does not meet psychological expectations or encounters a strong defense that he is not sure about, Aldridge will never take action.

The benefits and disadvantages of his playing style are very obvious.

The advantage is naturally high efficiency, and you rarely see Aldridge hitting too low.

But the disadvantage is that at certain critical moments, the Blazers are always unable to score. A team's superstar often has to hit some less reasonable balls at critical moments to help the team gain an advantage in a anxious state.

But Aldridge did not do well in this regard, and he pursued rationality too much. Sometimes, he would give up taking action for various reasons for passing a round several times in a row.

Stotts is also quite a headache for this problem. Therefore, many of the key goals of the Trail Blazers are actually handed over to Lillard, the second-year-old.

Now, facing such a tight double-team, with Aldridge's personality, he will definitely not take action.

Finally, Aldridge saw Batum on the right side outside the three-point line.

But as soon as he passed the ball, Link immediately returned to defense. Link was very fast, and on the defensive end, Link has never saved energy.

When Batum received the basketball, Link rushed to the front of "French Pippen" again.

Link's double-team was just right, neither allowing Aldridge to play easily, nor giving Batum any chance!

The Trail Blazers didn't even make the simplest tactic, which made them a little panicked.

In the last game, the Trail Blazers played smoothly and asked for it on the Warriors.

Today, the Trail Blazers were still a little uncomfortable with such a tight defense.

There was no way, Batum could only let the basketball continue to conduct. The Trail Blazers conducted for the last 22 seconds, but did not pull out the gap.

In desperation, Wesley Matthews chose to force his shot. But Iguodala's interference made Matthews' shot deviate from the target.

Basketball Iron Shot, the Trail Blazers missed the second consecutive attack!

"I haven't entered again, where is the powerful firepower of the Trail Blazers?" Mike Blin was a little surprised. The Trail Blazers today are far from the team that massacred the Warriors at the Oracle Arena two days ago.

Old Hubi beside Bolling smiled. It was not that the Trail Blazers' offensive firepower had weakened. It was the Grizzlies' defense, which was stronger than all the teams the Trail Blazers had encountered before!

Wesley Matthews's ironstorm made the Trail Blazers fall into a passive situation again, and Conley stood outside the three-point line and waited for his teammates to take the place.

Terry Stotts held his chin, but he didn't believe that the Grizzlies could score 360 ​​degrees in the air and make a 360-degree ball in the air.

This time, Link chose to fight Conley. Lillard did not hesitate and changed defense directly at the moment when Conley and Link handed over!

Although Lillard is less than 1.9 meters tall, the height difference between Link is quite different. But even so, Lillard is not afraid. He only knows that he must not give Link any gap!

After the defense change is completed, Lillard makes a move to prepare for stealing! Generally, the receiver will not be too focused when he just completes the hand-passing pass.

Lillard thought he was sure to get the steal, but just as his palm was about to touch the basketball, Link shook his wrist and passed the ball out again.

This time, Link's passing target was not someone else, but Conley who immediately cut in after handing over the game!

Conley's fight against Batum is a misalignment of small plays, and it is very difficult for Batum to keep up with Conley's speed.

Seeing Conley breaking through along the left, Robin Lopez quickly rushed back to the basket! As long as Conley makes a layup, he will try his best to stop it!

He is not as gentle as Aldridge and his brother Brooke. Even if Robin makes a foul, he will not let Conley score easily!

Little did he know that the moment Conley jumped and made a layup, he suddenly changed the ball to his left hand, to the side away from the basket, and then gently sent the ball to the rebound.

Lopez and Batum both made a short break, and they didn't expect Conley to replace his left hand to make a layup!

Conley is a famous left-handed player, which is well known. But in the game, in a blink of an eye, players sometimes can only make moves based on instinct because they don’t have time to think. Most people’s instinct is to block the opponent’s right hand.

The basketball finally rubbed the rebound and refracted into the net, while Lopez and Batum looked at each other.

Who are the Grizzlies? One turns around in the air and the other changes in the air can always score goals in the most unpredictable way!

Conley pointed at Link after scoring, thanking him for his assist.

Now he was not nervous at all, he just wanted to give Lillard and the Trail Blazers some colors.

4-0, the Trail Blazers' defense seemed like a thin layer of paper in front of the Grizzlies, and it was broken with one stab.

The Grizzlies' defense is like the gate of a bank vault that is more than ten centimeters thick, and cannot be penetrated at all.

Link and Conley each scored a goal, as if setting the tone for this game. Today's game is destined to be the show for both of them.

Of course Lillard did not agree. This game finally attracted so many people's attention, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity to show himself.

So Lillard chose to continue to break through with the ball this time. He didn't believe that he, who had just scored 38 points in the last game, would suddenly become silent today.

Watching Lillard reach out to call for cover, Link shook his head.

Lillard is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. After the attack failed just now, he actually wanted to win by singles. It was really hard to do so.

This time, he must give up!

Lillard first bypassed Aldridge's pick-and-roll, and then suddenly changed direction in front of him when Conley caught up!

The two consecutive changes made Lillard temporarily throw away half of his body. Although Conley still stayed beside Lillard, Lillard would not stop and continue to go deeper.

As long as it can break out, Lillard believes that he can score a goal!

He rushed towards the basket obliquely, and after Gasol had already made up for the basket, he still jumped and made a layup resolutely.

Of course, Lillard is not stupid, he will not die. In the air, facing the double interference of Conley and Gasol, Lillard chose to pull up the layup!

He glided from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket, and then turned back to the moon and went back to the basket as his body began to fall.

In this goal, Lillard showed his physical fitness to the fullest. He was able to calmly complete the pull-up movements under the interference of two members of the best defensive team last season, which is not something that anyone can do.

After avoiding the defense, Lillard threw the ball out with his back to the basket. Although it was with his back to the basket, this kind of ball was not difficult for professional players.

Lillard believes that the Trail Blazers will break the scoring drought!

However, the next second, Lillard saw Link rushing towards him. When Link leaped up beside Lillard, Lillard even felt a strong wind blowing!

Link's body rose very quickly, and his current athletic ability is definitely the top among the top. Before Lillard threw the basketball to the highest point, Link waved his hand in the air and grabbed the basketball directly into his arms!

Lillard's heart suddenly stumbled, and his mind went blank.

He couldn't believe everything he had just seen.

"This is... a catch! Link grabbed the ball in the air with his extremely terrible bounce! Damien Lillard's pull-up move was very beautiful, but everything he did before was in vain now!"

Although Hubby Brown witnessed Link's performance in Durant last season, he saw Link finishing such a big show again, Hubby Brown still got goosebumps.

Not to mention Hubby Brown, Stephen A. Smith, who could keep calm in everything, opened her mouth wide at this time.

Link seemed to be waiting for Lillard to come in on purpose. You could spend whatever you wanted before. But if you dare to come in, you have to pay the price!

Link said he wanted Lillard to give up completely, so he did.

After grabbing the basketball in the air, Link made a long pass from the backcourt and made a "bullet pass".

The basketball ran through the entire game quickly and was received by Iguodala, who had already started.

At this time, Wesley Matthews was next to Iguodala. He reacted in time and stuck tightly.

But after receiving the basketball, Iguodala did not directly attack the box, but instead made a very clever shot at the basket.

Matthews was indeed fooled. He floated past Iguodala and finally could only watch Iguodala put the ball into the box easily.

6 to 0, the Trail Blazers were beaten to no avail!

Before the game, people said how the Trail Blazers fought hard and how difficult the Grizzlies would be. But who brought trouble to whom, but it may not be said!

Lillard's Adam's apple slid up and down, swallowing his saliva.

At that moment, there was only fear in his heart.

However, 6-0 is not the end. In the next two rounds, the Grizzlies still completed the blockade against the Trail Blazers and both fought back.

When the score became 11-0, Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts remembered to call a timeout.

Maybe he thought at first that the players could adjust themselves and the situation of not scoring would not be maintained. Maybe he was really shocked and reacted so slowly.

No one knows what Stotts is thinking, but what is certain is that the defending champion has made the Trail Blazers taste great!

11 to 0, such a start undoubtedly surprised people. Everyone must think that the two teams will be anxious from the first minute of the game to the last second.

But Link is not so patient and can destroy his opponent immediately, so he will never drag him back!
Chapter completed!
