: Nine hundred and fifty-six: He is so powerful that I have never seen him in my career

  The game is about to end, the Portland Trail Blazers trail the Grizzlies by 16 points...

   Their strength and resilience against the Clippers were completely lost in Memphis.

   is left with a monotonous and chaotic offense and low shooting percentage.

   And the frustrated expression on every player's face.

   This is the status quo of the Portland Trail Blazers. They managed to survive the first round and thought they had walked in hell.

   But now they find that it is not **** at all, but heaven!

   The real hell, they don’t have the courage to face it.

"Coach Terry Stotts replaced all the starting lineups, which means he gave up the game. The Memphis Grizzlies won again at home, and after this game, the Grizzlies have won five straight in the playoffs. Won."

   Hubie Brown's mood is very complicated. On the one hand, he is happy for the Grizzlies to continue to win games.

   But on the other hand, he was disappointed in this game.

  Old Hubi believes that he is not the only one who is disappointed in this game. The vast majority of fans, especially neutral fans, must have been disappointed.

   Everyone is looking forward to a wonderful and colorful battle, but what about the Grizzlies? What he showed everyone was another massacre.

   Like last season, the Grizzlies are simply the "box office poison" of the league.

   Want to watch the Grizzlies play a game fiercely, it seems to be a luxury.

   From the beginning of the playoffs to the present, the Grizzlies not only did not lose, but they also beat each other by double digits in every game...

   Such a game, it is really difficult to raise the interest of the fans.

   It is not only the fans who are disappointed in this game, but also the Blazers players.

   Especially Damien Lillard, on the bench he put his chin on one hand and frowned.

   A few days ago, at Staples, no one would blame him. He played 42 minutes, scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and two steals, allowing the Blazers to escape, sinking the Clippers and creating miracles.

   But what about today? 14 points, 5 points, rebounds, 1 assist and 7 turnovers! He took 21 shots in the game and only hit 5 of them. The hit rate was 23.8%, not even 30%.

   Lillard is completely lost. Under the double-team of Link and Conley, he is like a rookie who has just switched from high school to the NBA and is at a loss.

   And it's not just Lillard who performed badly in this game. Lillard is like the beginning of a domino. After he fell, he caused a series of reactions.

   Without the support of Lillard, Aldridge's efficiency also plummeted.

   This power forward, who has always been known for his high shooting percentage, made a heinous 34 shots today, but only scored 32 points and shot only 38.2%. His 30+ score has nothing to say, it is purely piled up by shooting power.

   Lillard was restricted, and Aldridge had to take up the task of scoring the team. But as Georgel predicted, as long as Lillard is restricted, it is not forbidden to let others score.

   Lillard and Aldridge have combined up to 45 shots, which is almost half of the Blazers team's shots.

   With such an uneven distribution of shots and such a low shooting percentage, it would be a miracle if the Blazers could win.

   Lillard and Aldridge both seem to have lost their fighting spirit, although they also experienced the desperate situation of 1 to 3 behind when playing the Clippers.

   But at the time, the sense of despair the Clippers brought to the Blazers was not so strong. Even if they are 1 to 3 behind, they have always had a belief in their hearts, hoping to defeat their opponents.

   But the Grizzlies brought them a sense of oppression, but it was completely different from the Clippers.

   Recalling the scenes in the game, Lillard and Aldridge were suffering from angina.

   It is a kind of suffocating, as if someone stretches out his hand to pinch your throat in despair!

   Now, Lillard finally understands why the Pelicans didn't even lose a small point difference in the last round.

  Because you play against the Grizzlies, in just one game, they can crush all your confidence and tenacity.

   The real game is this one. The remaining three games were just repeated killings...

   The resolute trailblazer can't escape this fate.

   A few minutes later, Aldridge and Lillard heard an electronic buzzer that represented the end of the game.

   This sound is like the sound of nature, let them get free.

   86 to 100, the away team is first and the home team is behind. The Portland Trail Blazers, who had just created a miracle, lost 14 points in Memphis. Their team's 33.7% field goal percentage is horrible.

   Of course, this is also the greatest affirmation of the Grizzlies defense.

  As soon as the game was over, Aldridge and Lillard hurried to the player channel to "escape".

   Hubie Brown is introducing Link’s data. He scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists today, as well as 3 steals and 3 blocks. The performance is quite outstanding.

   After finishing Link, he was going to talk about Lillard and Aldridge, only to find that they were no longer on the court...

   Old Hubie shook his head. Looking at it this way, the Blazers might not be able to resist the Grizzlies' onslaught in the next few games.

   Their miracle, until Memphis!

   Lillard and Aldridge could escape the sideline interview, but they could not escape the press conference after the game.

   At the press conference after the game, Aldridge and Lillard were still full of helplessness.

   Aldridge was the first to be embarrassed. He did not expect that his game would actually break a record in the Federal Express Arena.

"LaMarcus, you took 34 shots tonight, surpassing Westbrook in 2011, and became the man with the most shots against the Grizzlies in the playoffs. But with so many shots, tonight You only have 32 points. How do you evaluate your performance?"

   Aldridge: "......"

   Seeing Aldridge answering this embarrassing question with silence, the reporters immediately turned their guns to Lillard.

"Damien, all of your first 6 shots were missed tonight, and you didn't score in sports until the second quarter. In the whole game, your shooting percentage was less than 25%. What do you think is responsible for this performance? Is it because of Link's double-teaming?"

   Lillard looked at the reporter who asked the question. He was not silent. Maybe Lillard wanted to find someone to complain.

"I have encountered a lot of situations where I used traps to defend me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Last round of the series, the Clippers did that. But generally, the two defenders will not stay after the pick and roll. There will always be people around me who will leave. For example, after the pick-and-roll, when the small guy catches up with me, the big players usually leave. But today the Grizzlies didn’t. This may be the first time I met a big player who didn’t leave. Circumstances, they stayed there and continued to pinch me, forcing me to play the ball."

"Faced with this kind of defense, the correct way to deal with it is to pass the ball out and find a teammate who is in the open position. But like you said, they did it all night, which disrupted my rhythm of the game and allowed me to play. It’s very difficult. I have to face two or three layers of defense every time I attack. The most important thing is that I will always encounter Link. This is a challenge for me."

"And the Grizzlies' tactics were executed very resolutely and continued from beginning to end. Link is like a machine, never aware of fatigue. He seems to have a body of steel and will never fall... "

   Seeing Lillard's frustration on stage, the reporters were shocked. They thought Lillard would respond forcefully to words like "We still have a chance" and "We will not be afraid".

   But Lillard’s speech clearly means that he has been defeated!

   The reporters just had this idea, and Lillard proved their conjecture. He shook his head and continued to add.

   "Since I came to the league, my self-confidence has never been affected like it is today. Link's defense is so powerful that I have never seen it in my previous career."

   The ultimate weapon of the Trail Blazers seems to have been completely conquered by Link.
