Staples Center, it’s not the first time Link has been here to play. In this basketball holy land in Los Angeles in the past two seasons, Link and the Grizzlies have lost less and won more.

In addition, Link stole the All-Star starting position of Los Angeles darling Blake Griffin last season, so Los Angeles fans are even more hostile to Link.

Therefore, in Los Angeles, in Staples, Link is a blacklist-level figure. Today is the opening game of the new season, and Los Angeles fans are very enthusiastic. Before the game begins, the cheers here are enough to inspire.

If you can witness Link defeating Staples, this expensive ticket will be worth it!

DeAndrew Jordan stood in front of Gasol Jr., eager to try. People only remember that last year Link stole Griffin's full-scale starting position, but few people would remember that Gasol also stole Jordan Jr.'s All-Star seat.

Last season, Jordan Jr. was temporarily at a disadvantage. In the first game of this season, DeAndrew Jordan naturally hopes to avenge his previous shame.

He thinks he has made a lot of progress this season, his offensive running is more flexible and his defensive position is more mature, and it is not a problem to defeat Gasol Jr.

"Your loss in the Olympics will continue to the NBA arena, I promise you." After both sides stepped into the central circle, Jordan Jr. immediately spitted trash words at Gasol.

Gasol looked much more capable this season because he cut his long hair short and shaved his beard. Therefore, Jordan could clearly see the joking smile on Gasol's face.

"At least, I can go to the Olympics, and you can't be selected for the national team at all."

"Fuck!" Jordan Jordan was once again led to the army. He gritted his teeth and decided to defeat the Spaniards with practical actions!

The smell of gunpowder on both sides can be seen from the two centers. Link could feel the scorching gaze from Griffin when he stood in his half. Paul, the "captain", naturally wanted to win the first victory for the team. Therefore, his fighting spirit was also very high.

Before the fight started, Link felt the heat was rising all around him.

Finally, the referee whistled and threw the basketball into the air. DeAndrew Jordan used his stronger athletic ability to transfer the ball to Paul's hands, and the game officially began!

The entire Staples was shaking, and everyone hoped that the Clippers would have a good start at home. They believed that a further step Griffin and Jordan Jr., a more experienced Paul and a new team member, could make the Clippers change drastically.

Stevens stood on the sidelines with his fists clenched tightly. His first round of coaching the NBA team began like this.

Link followed Butler, while Iguodala was close to Willy Green. The Clippers' second and third positions basically had no independent offensive ability. The Clippers' tactics depended on Paul and the two inside players to play pick-and-roll.

Jordan Jr. provided cover and Paul took the opportunity to break through. However, after Paul broke through, he realized that Gasol Jr. had not followed him at all, and was waiting for Paul at the basket!

Jordan Jr.? If you are willing to let him score a mid-range shot, Gasol Jr. won't mind.

Seeing this, Paul killed the basket, but Gasol Jr.'s defense was very good, and he neither fouled nor covered Paul's sight.

Paul is one of the most difficult players in the league to be blocked, but defense does not have to be blocked to be considered successful. As long as the opponent can not score goals, it is a good defense.

Under Gasol Jr.'s excellent defense, Paul made a layup and made a bad start. The first attack that Los Angeles fans are looking forward to ended with regret!

Randolph stepped forward, stuck Griffin and took the rebound. Griffin could clearly see that Randolph's muscle lines on his arms this season were very obvious! Moreover, the speed of horizontal movement seemed to have returned to its peak level!

What monster!? Will you learn from Duncan and have a second spring?

"Beautiful defense! Marc Gasol is becoming more and more stable on the defensive end. He is very smart and has a height advantage. The Clippers' strong attack at the basket is probably not a good choice." Mike Brynn gently clapped his hands, and people were worried that Stevens would make the Grizzlies' impregnable defense system disappear. But the facts proved that the Grizzlies' defense quality has not declined but increased.

The Clippers failed the first attack, which made John Hollinger look very bad. The Clippers' offense was too single, or the Grizzlies' wing defense was too strong!

The defensive chain formed by Link and Iguodala made Butler and Green of the Clippers almost become spectators. In this way, Paul had to choose to play pick-and-roll with two inside players. Stevens must have formulated countless ways to deal with the Clippers pick-and-roll.

Hollinger couldn't help feeling a little nervous, the Clippers must work hard.

However, before Hollinger could get up, the Grizzlies scored the first goal.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Conley played a stern positional battle. Last season, due to the sharp increase in Link's offensive ability, the Grizzlies like to leave behind the black and white bears to fight a quick counterattack.

But after Stevens joined the Grizzlies, he explicitly prohibited this behavior.

"Unless I change the lineup or the opponent's retreat is not timely, otherwise, the offensive end will firmly fall into the position!"

Now it seems that Stevens told the players that they listened.

If the black and white bears fight quickly, their physical strength will be exhausted soon. The decline in physical strength will have a huge impact on the two bears' defense and offense.

Instead of rushing into the basket, it is better to fall into the position and play slowly. This not only prevents the black and white bears from running back, but also drags the game into the rhythm of the Grizzlies as much as possible.

After falling into the position, Conley handed the ball to Link Link who was out of the ball without the ball to face Caron Butler's defense, and directly changed direction and cleaned him!

Although Link was able to score high points against Butler last season, it was not easy to get rid of him.

But now, Link is faster, while Butler's movement is slower as Stevens said. Therefore, it is easy for Link to break through the defense.

After Link broke through, Willy Green immediately double-teamed over. Green is also a veteran in the league for his tenth season. His role in coming to the Clippers is very simple, which is to shoot three-pointers and defend. Using his experienced experience and strong body, he can enhance stability for the Clippers' outside defense.

The Clippers' double-teams are very decisive, and it can be seen that the head coach deliberately arranged it. According to the Grizzlies' lineup last season, Tony Allen has no shooting ability, so the number two position can go up to double-team Link without thinking.

Unfortunately, the Grizzlies' second position is not Teacher Tony, but Andre Iguodala, who was able to shoot 39.4% three-point shooting percentage in Philadelphia last season!

"Link calmly passed the ball after being double-teamed to Iguodala. He took action directly outside the three-point line. This is the first goal Iguodala threw for the Grizzlies. Can you make it??"

As soon as Mike Bryn finished speaking, the Nets were covered in white waves. Iguodala happily made three fingers, and he knew that playing in Memphis would be very interesting!

Indeed, Iguodala is not a scorer, nor is she a pure shooter. But if you dare to completely empty him, he will try his best to punish you!

Link pointed at Iguodala and slapped it with high-highs. Iguodala is the most important signing for the Grizzlies this summer. When the deal happened, most people said that the Grizzlies were seeking death by trading Guy, and for this, they also used a powerful Pondsett, and even made a fuss to die.

But Iguodala slapped the media in just one round.

He is extremely suitable for Link, and he is simply the perfect green leaf around Link. Link's assist kicked off the season for the Grizzlies and also made a good start for a powerful combination.

A three-pointer made the cheers in Staples Center half of the time.

Of course, Hollinger's face turned paler.

The Clippers made their second attack, and this time, they did not play pick-and-roll. Paul pulled it away after halftime and passed the ball to Griffin, who was asking for the ball at mid-range.

Griffin faced Randolph at mid-range distance, full of confidence. The Clippers fans shouted desperately, and they all wanted to see how much Griffin grew!

It is said that the inside line averaged 20+10 in the rookie season, and they are all at the Hall of Fame level. Guys like O'Neal and Duncan were already MVP candidates in the third grade. Clippers fans naturally look forward to Griffin also following the footsteps of their predecessors.

Griffin took the ball and made several tentative steps at the middle distance, and then suddenly accelerated to break through! This summer, Griffin trained his mid-range shots and dribbling to get rid of the label of "only dunks".

Randolph is simply a perfect tester. After all, judging from his performance last season, Randolph's lateral movement speed was too slow, and Griffin thought he could break through him easily.

But things went against my wishes. Griffin just rushed out and was blocked by Randolph! The big black bear's lateral movement speed was not slow, and he almost clamped Griffin at the first time!

This fat man is in great shape this year!

"Damn it!" Griffin gritted his teeth and leaned against Randolph and forced a layup.

At this moment, Gasol appeared just right at the basket and jumped up to block it. His defense was extremely timely and he did not give Griffin any chance at all.

Griffin missed a layup under the defense of the Black and White Bears. MVP-level insider? Come on, Griffin is still far from it!

After Gasol jumped up and blocked Griffin, he immediately jumped up and grabbed the rebound. Conley held the ball and suppressed the rhythm, and the Grizzlies continued to play!

"The Grizzlies' pace is much more stable than last season. I don't know if this is the arrangement of coach Stevens. If so, then his control over the court is really strong." After continuing with Mike Bryn, Kevin Harlan also said good things about the Grizzlies.

Hollinger, who was sandwiched in the middle, expressed his desire to quit the group chat.

Conley waited slowly outside the three-point line for his teammates to take the place, and the whole pace was slow.

Gasol suddenly bounced out, and it seemed that he was about to catch the ball at mid-range. Jordan immediately put it on, and Gasol couldn't put his shot. Although he refused to admit defeat, Jordan still knew Gasol's strength.

At this moment, Conley, who was originally slowly slowly, suddenly threw the ball into the air!

Paul immediately turned around and he could see that this angle was an all-over pass!

But the current lineup of the Grizzlies, except Iguodala, shouldn't be able to play such a ball! And now, Iguodala is standing outside the three-point line, so who is this all-access pass for?

Everyone was confused in their hearts, so they saw a No. 0 wearing Kobe's sixth-generation Link's special sneakers jumping into the penalty area and jumping high!

Since Jordan Jr. was pulled out by Gasol, no one was under the basket at the moment. Conley seized the opportunity and passed such an air relay!

But Paul laughed jokingly. The idea of ​​this ball is indeed good, but it was too high for Link to receive it. In the past two seasons, even if Link played an all-time job, he could only receive a layup. After all, his athletic ability is only a little bit.

And now the passing height is impossible to catch unless he dunks!

As time passed, the smile on Paul's face gradually solidified.

Link held the basketball with one hand in the air, then swung his arm hard!

"Boom!" The basketball stand swayed, and the center of Staples was silent.

Link ended the attack with an explosive all-connect dunk!

"This" Mike Bryn wanted to speak, but found that he could not make a sound.

He was so surprised!

Link landed and looked at Grant Hill on the Clippers bench.

How about it? Is it your style back then?

Grant Hill in the 2004-05 season was already covered with steel nails. However, this still couldn't stop him from soaring in the air.

Now, it was a surprise to switch to Link.
Chapter completed!
