Today, Gasol is still on the daily watch list.

His recovery speed was lower than expected, so his comeback time was also repeatedly pushed forward.

Therefore, the Grizzlies' starting No. 5 position in this game is still Hassan Whiteside, who just won 10 triple-double not long ago.

The Trail Blazers are not all healthy. Their starting center Robin Lopez has been absent for a long time due to injury.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers' starting No. 5 position is former All-Star center Chris Carman.

Although Kaman was selected into the All-Star lineup when he was in the Clippers, he has experienced serious injuries and has grown older and has no strength left now.

His speed and bounce were both down sharply, and he was incomparable to Whiteside.

Therefore, "Ba Baibian" easily won basketball, opening the prelude to this battle.

The last time the two sides fought, Link was absent, and the Trail Blazers beat the Grizzlies.

122 to 108, this is still the biggest score difference that the Grizzlies have experienced this season.

Although Link didn't mention this, he kept it all in his heart.

Reciting rituals is the most basic politeness!

Link attacked ** very strongly today, and he fought Conley with hand in hand as soon as the halfway point was passed.

Nicholas Batum is on the verge of the team. He has only scored in double digits in the past seven games, and now the controversy about him is getting bigger and bigger.

He doesn't want to be tortured by Link again.

Link looked focused and held the basketball tightly with both hands without any flaws.

Batum raised his right hand nervously and blocked Link's eyes.

But Link was not disturbed at all. He suddenly accelerated and immediately took a smooth back-to-back change.

With two simple actions, Link threw "French Pippen" behind him.

Chris Kaman came to make up for defense, but Link threw the shot before the German center rushed forward.

The basketball just crossed Carman's fingertips and fell towards the basket.

The first feeling that Kaman gave Link was one word - slow.

Slow repair and defense, slow bullet speed, slow anything.

If Whiteside defends this ball, Link might have to eat a spicy hotpot.

Even Robin Lopez is not so easy to deal with.

But Chris Kaman... I have to say that he is completely incomparable to the Clippers' period.

After scoring the goal, Link did not squirt trash at the Trail Blazers player, but glared at Randolph, as if saying, "Did you see the big fat man? This is the style of the defending champion!"

Randolph shook his head, a disdainful smile on his face.

The interaction between Link and Randolph naturally cannot escape the capture of the live camera. Their conflict seems to have been put on the table.

Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts instantly became full of confidence.

The Trail Blazers have recently experienced two consecutive losses, losing the single-digit myth.

Stotts was very distressed because the competition in the West was very fierce. After their defeat reached ten games, the Los Angeles Clippers were eyeing them. If they were not careful, they would fall out of the top three.

For the Trail Blazers, if they want to go further in the playoffs, they must keep the top three rankings.

Stotts believes that the Grizzlies will still be the No. 1 in the Western Conference this year. In other words, if they fall to fourth and fifth, they are likely to meet the Grizzlies in advance in the playoffs.

Although everyone was clamoring to defeat the defending champion and break the Grizzlies' rule. But in fact, no one really wanted to meet the Grizzlies, and the Trail Blazers were no exception.

Therefore, it is very important for the Trail Blazers to maintain the rankings of the top three.

Link is having an unhappy relationship with Randolph now, and Randolph is in a bad condition. This is a good opportunity for the Trail Blazers to stop the decline!

So Terry Stotts waved his hand and signaled the Trail Blazers to go to Aldridge for the first attack!

Lillard understood the head coach's gesture, so Lillard did not rush to play quickly this round, but waited for Aldridge to take the position.

Aldridge quickly sat in the low position, leaned against Randolph, raised his arms and started asking for the ball.

In everyone's imagination, Randolph's resistance should be weak.

But Aldridge, who was personally fighting against Randolph, found that this was not the case. Randolph resisted very fiercely, and the "big black bear" behind him was constantly pushing him out.

In an instant, Aldridge regained his feeling as a rookie year.

Aldridge was already very struggling to rely on Randolph to get a prison position.

Lillard hung the ball into the penalty area as planned and sent it to Aldridge.

Aldridge gritted his teeth and held the position firmly, then carefully turned around the face frame.

All the Trail Blazers fans at Moda Center stood up and seemed to be ready to celebrate the goal in advance.

Aldridge looked at Randolph, his eyes were so familiar!

This guy stared at his small eyes fiercely. Although he was round in his head, he would not feel bullied at all.

Aldridge shook his head and didn't think about it any more. He made a three-threat pace and directly pulled out the mid-range shot. This was one of Aldridge's most efficient offensive methods.

But as soon as Aldridge lifted the basketball, Randolph rushed forward, scaring Aldridge!

Today, Randolph did not have any more reactions than half a beat slower. His interference was very timely and he could not miss it!

Aldridge is 2.11 meters tall and has a very tall shooting point. Randolph is 2.06 meters tall, but in fact he looks like he is only 2.03 meters tall.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for Randolph to interfere with Aldridge. But Aldolph still lost the shooting rhythm because of Randolph's aggressive defense. The final result was that Aldolph's shot hit the front of the basket!

"Bang!"

The crisp sound of ironwork made the fans in Moda Center unexpectedly. What about the promised to beat Randolph? What about the promised minimum score of 30?

Why did it come and go to the army to be unfavorable?

"La Marcus Aldridge missed his first shot, but it doesn't matter, he just needs time to find the feeling." Bill Walton didn't think there was anything wrong with this goal. Randolph might be able to defend Aldridge once or twice, but it's impossible for him to limit the entire game.

But Aldridge on the court doesn't think so, because Randolph has already started to spit out trash words at him.

"Big Black Bear" is really playing today!

"Boy, have you forgotten what Uncle Zach taught you back then? You must be aggressive at any time on the court! Without murderous aura, why would people be afraid of you?"

Randolph yelled at Aldridge, as if scolding his younger brother.

"Zach, it's wrong!" At this time, Link whispered to Randolph.

Randolph realized that he had criticized the wrong person, so he turned his head to look at Link, "Don't be crazy, I can score too!"

Aldridge is messy in the wind, what do you think of this?? Are there any mistakes in squirting people?

The most important thing is that people who are even criticized will be reminded!?

What exactly did Link and Randolph regard this game? Are the game? The Trail Blazers are the third in the West!

Without thinking too much, Aldridge quickly returned to defense. Randolph just said that he wanted to score, and Aldridge didn't want this to happen.

The Grizzlies' offense was not fast, and they were also waiting for the fourth position to land.

Link raised his hand to the right side outside the three-point line and asked for the ball, and Randolph also raised his hand to ask for the ball at the low post.

Since Batum was guarding in front of Link, passing was risky. So in the end, Conley chose to hand over the ball to Randolph.

Seeing this, the Trail Blazers fans immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the score difference would not be widened.

Randoff felt Aldridge's defense and quickly made plans in his mind.

No matter how much you play, no matter how much you make a fuss, Randolph will not be ruthless at all.

He suddenly turned right, as if he wanted to turn over and jump.

Just as Aldridge raised his center of gravity, Randolph turned around like a fat gyro, turning like the left side, and then threw it gently with his left hand, and the basketball went hollow into the net!

NBA's history has been so many, there are not many insiders who can name their names.

And Randolph is undoubtedly one of them.

At low post, his offensive skills were once the top in the league! And because he was a left-handed player, Randolph's offensive routine would be even more elusive.

Seeing Randolph scored easily, Aldridge couldn't help swallowing.

With one attack and one defense, he was completely like a rookie, and was clearly arranged by Randolph!

After scoring the goal, Randolph whistled to the sky, and people thought he was venting his recent dissatisfaction.

But in fact, Randolph was yelling in his heart.

"Mom, from today on, every score will be dedicated to you."

Aldridge swallowed, and before the game Lillard asked himself, is Zach Randolph really that scary?

Now, Aldridge can answer Lillard.
Chapter completed!
