NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 110 Bang! (5/5)

"Holy shit!"

Jeff Van Gundy was so excited that he immediately began to explain this wonderful block.

"Griffin's dunk! Lin Chuan actually slammed him and the ball away!"

"You know, Griffin's dunks have almost never been blocked! The secret lies in his ball-protecting hand! He will hold down the defender and suppress the opponent's jumping space!"

"But why did Lin Chuan still block him?"

Jeff Van Gundy's spit was almost spraying into the audience, but he still focused on the commentary.

"Let's replay it and see what happened!"

The broadcast began to play the previous scene in slow motion.

"Just now! Lin Chuan went around to the ball handler's position and jumped up, avoiding Griffin's ball-guarding hand! He blocked Griffin from the side!"

"The defense is so smart! It's worthy of being Lin Chuan! Only he can do this! It's hard for anyone else to do it!"

After Lin Chuan blocked the shot, Durant scored a fast break goal.

It was the Clippers' turn to attack again.

Butler's regular baseline choice.

The ball was served to Paul.

The Thunder's defense was solid and there were no loopholes.

Paul slowly dribbled the ball across half court and began to instruct the team to continue running tactics.

They did not seem to be concerned about the obstruction of their usual fighting style just now.

This time it was Griffin's turn to step up and cover Paul.

After a big change of direction, he rushed to the inside and then threw the basketball in his hand again.

However, there were subtle changes in the play style this time.

Jordan, who broke through from the middle, ran to the other side, taking away Lin Chuan's defense, while Griffin, who cut inside, grabbed the ball and slammed it again!
However, although Lin Chuan was not guarding the basket.

The Thunder has someone else!
Inside big man! Serge Ibaka!
As last year's block leader, he definitely won't pamper Griffin under the basket.

The moment he saw Paul break through, he retreated to the inside, and the moment the basketball was thrown by Paul, he judged the Clippers' choice.

His keen defensive sense allowed him to face Griffin who was about to take off in an instant.

Showing no fear, Ibaka bent his knees slightly and bounced up to exert force.

His legs were like a pair of springs, instantly launching him into the air.

But Ibaka is destined not to be Lin Chuan!

His defense is very tough!

The choice is also very direct and neat!

He was going to block Griffin's alley-oop dunk from the front!

Griffin had a ferocious expression on his face. He jumped up with all his strength, pulled the ball high above his head, and flew towards the basket with a roar.

Lin Chuan just blocked my shot from the side, there's nothing much to say.

Ibaka, even though you are the block king, do you want to challenge me, the No. 1 pick?
My ball protector will teach you how to behave!
"Crack!"

Ibaka and Griffin faced off head-on.

Griffin's left hand pressed on Ibaka's shoulder, making a sound of muscle collision.

However, Griffin's ball-guarding hand was in front of him, suppressing Ibaka's amazing bounce and lowering him by two heads.

"boom!"

The basketball was slammed into the basket.

Ibaka was pinned to the ground and nearly fell out.

Ibaka is still too young and lacks experience. He only thinks that the two of them play with their hard power. He doesn't understand that Griffin has such a little trick. Even if his arm span is long enough and his jumping ability is good enough, he still can't block Griffin who is inferior to him!
Griffin landed, looked at the former block king who was staggering in front of him, clenched his fists, and roared in celebration!

"So what if he's the shot-blocking king? He'll still be dunked on by me!"

The few Clippers fans at the scene finally saw the wonderful goal and cheered, drowning out the shouts of the many Lakers and Thunder fans at the scene.

The court was filled with shouts of "Griffin".

Listening to the fans' cheers, Griffin, who had just finished a dunk, suddenly felt refreshed and vented a lot of his anger about being blocked.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan, who was standing outside the paint area, and he looked at him viciously.

Next, it's your turn!
"As expected of Griffin! The White Beast becomes more courageous after each setback, and this time he challenged Ibaka's defense and successfully dunked!"

Jeff Van Gundy yelled,
"Not everyone can easily block Griffin's dunk. Let me see if Griffin can contribute more wonderful dunks and successfully dunk over Lin Chuan!"

Lin Chuan also stared at Griffin, and sparks seemed to fly when their eyes met.

It seems like they are provoking each other.

This is what the audience thinks.

Still want to block me? I'll dunk on you next time!
Griffin stared at Lin Chuan and thought, then said,

"Next time, I'll dunk on you from the front."

But only Lin Chuan had completely different ideas.

Although his face was expressionless, he was almost laughing inside.

Yes, that's right, always obsessed with dunks and inside attacks.

I will definitely cover you up well later and complete my mission.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack. Lin Chuan had not forgotten that in addition to the system task, he also had a gamble.

After receiving the ball in the low post, he performed some fantastic footwork in the paint, dribbling past two people and making a layup.

Little Jordan looked at Lin Chuan with a serious look in his eyes.

This guy's offense is so terrible. Every time I show some flaws to lure him to jump up and block, but he deceives me every time and lets me score a simple layup.

It's the Clippers' turn to attack.

Griffin, who had a great dunk, was whispering to Paul as he ran to the frontcourt.

Even a fool would know what they were thinking.

However, Lin Chuan pretended not to know and waited in the inside for Griffin to come and challenge him.

Paul holds the ball in a familiar position, while Jordan moves up and uses the screen to help Paul break through to the inside.

With Ibaka's interference, the ball was passed again brilliantly.

But this time it wasn't an alley-oop.

Griffin received a powerful pass from Paul while moving, held the ball with both hands, took a big step and suddenly rose into the air.

At this moment, Lin Chuan in front of him arrived first!

Lin Chuan predicted Griffin's movements in advance. Although his jumping speed was not as fast as Griffin's and his explosive power was inferior to his, he jumped up in advance!
When Griffin reached his highest point, Lin Chuan reached his own highest point first!

He saw Lin Chuan standing in front of him, blocking him like a mountain.

Griffin was not afraid at all, but became even more excited.

I don’t believe it. I must dunk on you today!
Griffin clenched his teeth, his face grim, and once again stretched out his ball-protecting hand to suppress Lin Chuan.

"Oh!"

The two jumped up together and collided with each other in the narrow space under the basket.

The collision between chests made a dull sound.

"Snapped!"

After the collision, the basketball was hit by a big hand, making an extremely crisp sound, and then flew backwards with great force.

Along with the basketball, Griffin fell to the ground again.

In the second challenge, Lin Chuan announced that he had failed again!
