759: This is your best defensive player

26 points in the halftime are definitely an exaggerated number even for scorers such as Durant and Anthony.

What's more, this data was obtained by Paul, who has always been the first to pass. Paul's performance in the first half was undoubtedly subversive.

The fans of the Clippers were cheering at home at this time. They could overwhelm the invincible Grizzlies, as if the championship was already in their pocket.

In the face of victory, what is the best defensive player worthless at all! So what if Link snatched the Best Defensive Player Award? What the Clippers can steal is victory!

At this time, in the Clippers' locker room, the players were very excited. The offense was so beautiful in the half-time game that Paul undoubtedly gave everyone a chicken blood. Moreover, the effect was more significant than Doug Rivers' chicken soup.

"We will continue to maintain the second half, don't relax! The bastards thought they were sure to win, and they thought sweeping the undecent Mavericks mean they were very good. Then let's let them see what the real playoffs mean!"

Paul roared in the locker room, while others followed suit. Paul's emotions had been passed on to every Clippers player.

Rivers nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this halftime break would not cool down the Clippers' offensive firepower.

When the second half begins, the Grizzlies will face the same violent blow!

Rivers is really lucky that the Clippers can have players like Chris Paul. If he only had Jordan Jr. and Griffin in this game, he might have lost. But with Paul, you will have any possibility.

Rivers couldn't help but wonder what the situation would be in the Grizzlies' locker room now. Those tall guys have never been beaten up like this by others. They must be at a loss now and are almost crying.

The Grizzlies have almost never fallen this season, so today they will fall hard!

"Okay guys, it's almost time to get back on the stage! Keep your anger and let them all go to hell!" Rivers looked at his watch, then opened the locker room door and waved his hand.

The Clippers players all rushed out like hungry wolves. Their momentum looked unstoppable!

At the same time, Link was slowly walking towards the court with his teammates. He stood at the front of the team and was the first to step out of the player's passage.

The best defensive player has decided to use his strength on the defensive end.

※※※

"Welcome to the audience, welcome back. We will continue to bring you the second half of the Grizzlies and the Clippers! In the first half, the Clippers played an extremely efficient offense! Chris Paul made 6 of 6 three-pointers in the first half, and his terrible scoring ability made the Grizzlies suffer."

"That's right, when DeAndrew Jordan was timid on the defensive end because of fouls, Paul stood up and solved the defense problem with offense. They took the initiative to attack and caught the defending champion Grizzlies off guard! In the second half, I wonder if the Clippers can maintain the offensive intensity just now!"

The two commentators immediately started working and simply reviewed the situation in the first half for the fans.

At this time, the Grizzlies sent a baseline ball. In the second half, the Grizzlies did not make personnel adjustments and continued to use the initial starting lineup.

People thought that the Grizzlies would send a small lineup to fight the Clippers, but they didn't.

Did the Grizzlies not make any adjustments? Or did Dave Joggel, the best coach, have no tricks? In either case, the Clippers are willing to see it!

In the first attack in the second half, Link was handed over to Conley for processing. After Conley broke through, he deceived Jordan Jordan with a beautiful move on the fake fax and successfully made a throwing shot.

Although Conley's goal narrowed the gap to 11 points, the Clippers didn't care. There was no hope for the Grizzlies to have such a 2-point and 2-point chisel!

Compared to attack, the Grizzlies have only one way to die today!

Just as Paul was thinking this way, he began to control the ball and advance. While looking for gaps, he checked whether his teammates had a chance to score.

But just crossing the midfield line, Paul and all the fans watching the game finally discovered the changes in the Grizzlies' second half.

At this moment, Conley was no longer standing in front of Chris Paul, but the freshly released best defensive player Link!

"Link personally defended Paul! In the second half, Link decided to play against Paul directly on the defensive end! The intensity of the game has been upgraded again. Let's see if the best defensive player can withstand St. Paul's efficient attack!" Hubby Brown got goosebumps. Paul, who had 26 points in the half, faced the best defensive player, Link. This was a matchup like Mars hitting the earth!

No wonder Link just handed over the offense to Conley. It turned out that he wanted to keep all his experience on the defensive end.

"Damn!" Paul cursed inwardly. He did not forget that his few shots in the first half were all caused by Link's backup defense.

Although he was not convinced that Link won the Best Defensive Player Award, Paul would never underestimate Link's defensive ability.

If you want to blame, blame the Clippers' No. 2 position, it is not tall. J.j. Redick is completely the figure of the point guard. Conley did not suffer any loss at all when he replaced the defense. Therefore, Link could also defend himself in front of the No. 1 position with peace of mind.

Just by standing in front of Paul, Link had already made the point guard who scored 26 points in the first half feel a little scared.

But Paul would not reveal his thoughts, his face was still full of confidence. He called for cover, and both Jordan and Griffin raised them up.

Double screening, if the screen quality is high and the point guard with outstanding ability, you can easily get a goal opportunity.

When Griffin and Jordan were lifted, Link brought his left hand behind and gestured to Gasol and Randolph.

The meaning of gesture is very simple: Don’t change your defense!

After the cover was in place, Paul began to prepare for a breakthrough. He first accelerated to Griffin on the left, but after taking a step, he quickly changed direction and pounced on the right!

Paul believed that no matter how powerful Link was, he would not be able to make a correct judgment and get rid of the cover in such a short time.

If Gasol switches defense in this ball, Paul assists Jordan Jr. to dunk. If Gasol does not switch defense, Paul will get a scoring opportunity himself!

In either case, the Clippers will benefit!

The best defensive player is not invincible either! Can I use Link and Conley to switch defenses to curb me? Stop dreaming!

However, it was not long before Paul was proud that he felt like he was hit from the side.

Turning his head and seeing it turned out that Link had already rushed back to him!

"What!?" Paul couldn't believe that Link actually followed. How did this guy do it?

Paul was distracted for about a second, but it was this second that made Link fall down to the center of gravity, stretch out his arm, and prepare to steal!

"What is this guy thinking??" Seeing that Link was preparing to steal, Paul turned sideways to protect the ball. A 2.03-meter forward steals a point guard who is 20 cm shorter than himself. Isn't this self-inflicted?

But Link is not Westbrook, he never makes gambling steals. Once Link takes action, it means that the ball holder is in trouble! For the best defensive player, one second of distraction is enough to create steals!

Paul pulled the ball sideways and tried to widen the distance with Link. This move works for the number one position, but it is completely futile for the number three position with a slender arm.

Paul found that he could not avoid Link's long arm when he was widening. Link's fingertips first touched the basketball, and Paul lost control of the basketball!

Chris Paul is one of the most difficult players to be blocked and stolen in the league, but in front of the focused Link, even if Paul relaxes for a second, he will cause trouble.

The basketball was stabbed by Link and lost control. Paul turned around and prepared to chase the ball, but Link rushed up at a faster speed, and then controlled the ball with his slender arms first!

Because Paul rushed too hard and was physically confronted with Link, he rushed to the ground in a mess. Link took the basketball and rushed away and directly launched a counterattack with a steal!

Because the incident happened suddenly, no one in the Clippers could react. When they started chasing back, Link had already entered the empty Clippers' penalty area.

Link leaped gently, glided in the air for a distance and scored with one-handed dunk. The Grizzlies are still behind, so Link didn't have the intention to do fancy dunks. The simplest and simple dunks naturally have the highest hit rate.

"Link completed the steal in the first round of defense of Paul and made a fast break! 9 points, the Memphis Grizzlies narrowed the gap to single digits! Ladies and gentlemen, this is your best defensive player!"

Link's dunk made the deadly Federal Express Arena radiant.

Fans applauded and cheered wildly, and they knew that the leaders of the city would not disappoint them!

Link landed from the basket and pointed to the stands, then pointed to Paul who had just gotten up from the ground.

Paul gritted his teeth and found himself in fear!

Clippers No. 3 immediately shook his head. Today is his great night, and no one is allowed to destroy it!

But Link won't give Paul a chance to breathe. After Jordan Jr., it's time to defeat Paul!
Chapter completed!
