Chris Paul doesn't care what others think of him, he just wants to win.

Since entering the league in 2005, Paul quickly won the title of "No. 1 point guard" and became the top ten superstar in the league.

But compared with others in the top ten, his hard honors are really pitifully few.

With Durant already walking around the finals and Link already holding two championship rings.

Chris Paul, this guy who is always ranked high by people has never even played in the division finals!

Paul thought that after coming to Los Angeles, he would be closer to honor. However, everything was no different from when he was in New Orleans.

This is his 9th year in the industry. How many 9 years does a player have in his career?

Paul knew that his age was also rising, and his last peak was only in the past few years.

If he cannot reach the division finals or even the finals during this period, he will most likely become a "resistant superstar" like John Stockton.

Of course, that is not the result that Paul wants. For someone like him who has a strong desire to win, it is unacceptable to not have an NBA championship.

Therefore, Paul chose to put victory first at the critical moment when the Clippers were "stranded".

As long as you can defeat the Grizzlies, the Clippers have hope, and Paul only recognizes this.

He doesn't care whether Link is injured or not, he doesn't care what fans think of himself.

He only knows that the Clippers are now leading by 8 points, which is the fact!

"Chris, add personal singles in the second quarter while assisting his inside teammates to score. We must completely open the score and set the victory!" Doug Rivers knew that he had taken advantage of it now, so he didn't want to worry about how this advantage came about.

At first, Rivers just wanted the Clippers players to treat Link rudely, but he didn't expect Paul to be so rude.

Since that's the case, of course we have to seize the opportunity to win!

Paul nodded silently, his eyes full of murderous aura. 4 to 0 is already a thing of the past. From today on, the Clippers' status has changed!

The electronic beep sounded, and Chris Paul stepped into the stadium. As soon as he walked into the stadium, he booed the scene with deafening boo.

Paul was not shaken, knowing that he was now on the "blacklist" of the Federal Express Arena.

But he was not afraid at all, but stared at the front and waited for the Grizzlies to attack.

But when Paul saw the Grizzlies' starting lineup in the second quarter, this unscrupulous No. 3 frowned slightly.

"Link is back. After a break, he returned to the court. It seems that Link is not in bad health, and Memphis fans can rest assured! Wait... In addition to Link, the Grizzlies also sent Mark Gasol and Hassan Whiteside at the same time." Hubby Brown couldn't help but raise the volume.

Jogel sent a double center lineup!

"Double center?" Doug Rivers also noticed the changes in the Grizzlies, but his expression was very relaxed. "That guy wouldn't think that stacking big guys can solve the inside crisis, right?"

Jordan was ready to rub his hands, he couldn't wait to press Whiteside to the ground and rub it.

In the first quarter, Jordan scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, and the data was quite good. However, because the playing time between the two sides was staggered in the first quarter, Jordan did not get the chance to directly fight with Whiteside.

Now, Jordan Jordan wants to let the reporters see how unbearable the 10-day short-term work that was so boring by them!

Whiteside also clenched his fists. He also wanted to go over and beat Jordan Jr. Now, but he finally held it back and was not dizzy.

He did not forget that his current opponent was not Jordan Jr., but Blake Griffin!

Jordan Jr.'s revenge will be avenged later. His first priority is to help the Grizzlies overcome the difficulties.

The Grizzlies sent a baseline ball to start the second quarter.

Link waited outside the three-point line for Conley to dribble through the half-court, while Whiteside began to wrestle with Griffin in an attempt to squeeze into the basket.

Gasol stood at the middle distance and tried to pull Jordan out of the penalty area.

Just after Conley passed halftime, Link immediately started and went to pick him up.

As he accelerated, Link felt a little pain in his calf. Paul didn't do it so hard.

After Link received the basketball, he changed direction and threw Barnes away from him and broke through again!

"It seems that you didn't feel so bad just now!" Seeing Link break through hard, Paul gloated.

He believed that Jordan Jr. would let Link learn his lesson.

Jordan Jr. indeed rushed forward with a fierce look. They successfully restricted Link in the first quarter, so Jordan Jr. was full of confidence in the second quarter.

If Link is strong, he will only cause greater harm to himself. If it is passed to Gasol, Jordan Jr. can also rush back to interfere as soon as possible.

But this time, when Link faced double teams, he did not force his ball and did not pass the ball to Gasol, but instead hit the ground and hit Whiteside who cut into the basket!

It's time to break through the Clippers' $30 million inside line!

When Whiteside received the basketball, he was blocked by a Griffin in front of him.

Griffin's defense is not as top-notch. His defensive skills are average and his arm-span disadvantages make it very difficult for him to defend his tall opponents.

Dirk and Duncan both had the experience of abuse of Griffin in their late years.

The reason why Griffin could limit Harris before was because Harris was at a disadvantage in strength and tonnage and could not beat Griffin. But Whiteside, who played for Harris in this era, did not have this problem!

After receiving the basketball, Whiteside ran two steps and jumped and hooked. He was 2.13 meters tall and had an arm span of 2.31 meters. His shooting point was very high, and Griffin could not reach it at all!

The Clippers' No. 1 pick tried hard to straighten his arms, but his short hand could not do any interference at all...

In this way, Link assisted Whiteside to hit a hook shot, and the Grizzlies narrowed the gap!

"The beautiful goal, for Griffin, Whiteside is a bit too tall and too strong. Let's see how the Clippers will deal with it." Hubby Brynn waved his fists. That was probably the smoothest attack of the Grizzlies today.

Whiteside pointed to Link happily to show his gratitude. Link nodded and quickly retreated.

When passing by Paul, Link stopped and muttered in his ear.

"You are one of the lowest turnover rates in the league, you're not a mistake-prone person, Chris. But just now, you made a big mistake."

After saying that, Link quickly left, leaving only Paul with gritted teeth.

Paul knew Link was very polite, but he didn't plan to fight back. As long as he could score this time, Link would naturally shut up!

This round, Paul and Jordan Jr. used their same trick again, wanting to play pick-and-roll, and then throw an empty pick-and-job.

But at this time, the one who defended Jordan Jr. became Whiteside.

Jordan Jr. cut in immediately after pick-and-roll, but facing Whiteside, Jordan Jr.'s mobile ability advantage is not so obvious.

He may be able to get rid of Gasol easily, but he cannot get rid of Whiteside, who has the same excellent athletic ability and a revenge mental bonus!

Paul still threw the ball into the air, and he did not notice Jordan's dilemma.

So Whiteside jumped suddenly before Jordan Jr., and his long arms were like a high wall, blocking the basketball "outside the wall".

"Whiteside destroyed Paul's all-over pass to Jordan. Now, the Grizzlies' inside line is no longer at a disadvantage in athleticism!"

As soon as Hubby Brown finished speaking, Link rushed up and took the damaged basketball into his pocket. Paul was also snatching the ball, but he ate Link's elbow while fighting in the air.

You know, although Link won’t intentionally hurt people, he has many black tricks!

Paul was dizzy with elbows. He immediately covered his head and staggered a few steps, trying to get the referee sympathy, but the referee ignored it.

Everyone knows that Paul loves to act, and after Paul takes a ruthless move on Link in the first quarter, he left a bad impression on the referee. Therefore, the referee judged that Paul was pretending to be a ghost, so he did not interrupt the game!

Little did he know that Paul really suffered a loss this time. But even if he suffered a loss, Paul would not be able to get the protection of the whistle.

This is the basketball version of "The Wolf is Coming".

Link immediately advanced after grabbing the basketball. Barnes and Jordan Jr. rushed towards Link fiercely, as if they were about to knock Link out of the bottom line.

Link turned his head and looked at Butler who followed out of the three-point line, but actually threw the ball gently and sent it to the inside!

Whiteside, who had already walked to the basket, reached out and received the basketball. After reaching the basket, he pushed it suddenly, pushing Griffin away.

Griffin's advantage in tonnage and strength has become a disadvantage in front of Whiteside!

Although there is only a little space, it is enough!

Whiteside pushed Griffin away and dunked directly. This dunk was very powerful, allowing Griffin to extend his hand to block his chest like a conditioned reflex to protect himself.

The Clippers' inside advantage seemed to be gone, leaving Whiteside to ravage.

"Dandrew, pay attention to protecting the basket, protecting the basket!" Doug Rivers began to shout in his duckling voice. He knew that Griffin alone could not limit Whiteside.

The destructive power of this giant beast is much greater than when he came to the Clippers to try out, and only Jordan can compete with it.

The score difference was only 4 points left, and Link stuck out his tongue at Paul, "Sorry, but you are really vulnerable!"

Paul was completely angry, but he was not the kind of person who was prone to being hot-headed. As the team commander, he kept calm in the offense in the next round, without Maoran playing singles.

Paul knew that Jordan Jr. was basically seen to death by Whiteside now. So he planned to find an opportunity from Griffin.

In the end, Paul used a breakthrough pass to create a mid-range shot for Griffin. However, under the interference of Gasol, who was tall and long, Griffin's shooting completely lost his sight, which was ridiculously wrong!

The Clippers' inside line became extremely weak in the second quarter, and both Jordan and Griffin were silent! At both ends of the offense and defense, they were both eaten by the Grizzlies' double towers.

Jordan Jr. retreated unwillingly, he didn't believe that the Clippers' inside would be suppressed by an outdated All-Star + 10-day short-term worker.

So this time in defense, Jordan Jr.'s position was very close to the basket. The purpose was very simple, which was to interfere when Whiteside attacked.

He had to stand up and protect the basket.

Seeing Jordan Jr. standing so close to the basket, Link became happy, and the Clippers were now completely led away!

Before double-teaming was formed, Link lifted the basketball and seemed to be ready to pass Whiteside to the air relay.

Jordan Jr. immediately retreated to the basket, but the next second, Link passed the ball in the opposite direction!

At the free throw line, Gasol received the basketball and no one defended it!

No matter how fast Jordan is this time, he can't get back. He retreated to the basket and was too far from Gasol!

Gasol did not hesitate and lived up to expectations to shoot the ball! As soon as the second quarter came, the Grizzlies made a wave of 6 waves of 0, instantly narrowing the gap!

And all of these 6 points come from the Grizzlies inside players!

"What's going on? DeAndrew should give Gasol enough respect from mid-range. Gasol is really able to vote." Mark Jackson complained. How could Jordan Jr. let Gasol go directly and ignore it?

The keen Doug Rivers immediately suspended the game and was chased for 6 points in a row. This is not a good sign. The Grizzlies' double towers changed into formation and caught the Clippers off guard!

Link rushed up excitedly to hug his two giant teammates, they really helped!

Of course, Link also knew that this was just a warm-up.
Chapter completed!
