1105: A Dominant January

The Warriors lost to the Grizzlies for the second time this season, casting a huge shadow on their prospects for defending their title.

Of course, this also made Durant completely at a disadvantage in confrontation with Link.

At the post-match press conference, reporters were asking Durant about "double return". Obviously, no one knew where Durant had double return today.

Even if you don’t win the game, your personal data must be better than Link to be reasonable.

However, today, both in the game results and personal performance, Durant lost to Link.

Such double rewards can be said to be quite alternative.

Durant spent the entire press conference in embarrassment and humiliation.

If possible, he really wished he could go back a month ago, the day when the Warriors and the Grizzlies first met this season.

He didn't want to change the results of the game, but wanted to remind himself at that time not to say such stupid words as double-returning!

At the same time, in the Warriors' locker room, countless reporters were huddling Draymond Green, asking him what he was yelling with Durant after the game and whether there was a conflict.

Of course, Green denied these suspicions at once, just saying that he was discussing the game with Durant.

But only fools will believe this explanation.

Although the reporters have no evidence of a disagreement between Green and Durant, once the crack forms, the reporters have the ability to expand it little by little until it collapses!

Even if Green and Durant really have nothing, reporters will write locker room stories that are as complicated as Chinese palace dramas.

Once a team has a locker room problem... they will gradually get farther away from the championship.

Not everyone is like Kobe and Shaq, who can win three championships under the conflict.

Link not only defeated the Warriors today, but also directly dispersed the Warriors' seemingly close teammates.

After this game, ESPN also spent a lot of time analyzing the Warriors' losses.

The next day, in an espn article, they pointed out several points that the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies.

First, the Grizzlies almost freeze the Warriors' offense in the fourth quarter.

The Warriors made 1 of 9 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and only made one of them with Curry. Not only were the three-pointers, the Warriors were also unreasonable in other aspects.

Durant had two open shots, one of which was the key ball! In addition, Green and Livingston also missed some goals they should have scored. Thompson was the most exaggerated. He conceded three free throws in the fourth quarter alone, one of which was a key free throw.

Otherwise, how can you say that Link’s ability at critical moments is unique in the entire league?

In yesterday's fourth quarter, the Warriors' assists were only 2! Looking closely at all the Warriors' sports battles in the fourth quarter, you will find that they only had three times created by passing the ball.

This is a world of difference compared to the Warriors' scores with superb running and conduction in the third quarter.

The advantages of the Grizzlies side, Mark Jackson, had analyzed yesterday, that is, the Memphis people are neither panic nor make mistakes at critical moments.

Whether it is Link or Randolph, they can hit the key shots with a tough shot.

Whether the attack time is 24 seconds or 2 seconds left, they can complete the attack calmly.

In the whole article, I didn’t say anything good about the Warriors in the fourth quarter.

In response to this, the author's explanation is: "After watching the video of the fourth quarter of the two sides repeatedly, I confirmed that the Warriors did not show any outstanding performance in the fourth quarter. No wonder they were eventually reversed."

This article is sought after by many fans because the analysis is really detailed.

Even Warriors fans have no point to refute.

Because the Warriors' performance in the fourth quarter was indeed no highlight.

In this game, Link not only won the victory, but ended his losing streak.

He also pulled the warrior into the bottom of the valley.

This may be the darkest time the Warriors have experienced since the start of this season.

Accusations, suspicions, losses, fans' dissatisfaction and locker room gossip rushed over and wrapped the Warriors in the whole package.

This game is indeed a double-return game.

However, it was not Link who suffered double damage, but the Golden State Warriors.

The result of the battle with the Warriors undoubtedly boosted the morale of the entire Grizzlies team and made everyone full of infinite longing for the just-arrived 2017.

Now, a large number of people in this Grizzlies have not experienced three consecutive championships, and have not even seen the championship ring.

Therefore, the Grizzlies' enthusiasm for the championship is very high.

At the beginning of the regular season last October, people said that there was no disbanded dynasty team that could recover after a year.

But now, people are very skeptical about this view.

Because defeating the Warriors was just the beginning of the Grizzlies' rampage in 2017.

On January 8, the Grizzlies beat the Jazz and drove back onto the highway with a winning streak.

On January 11, the Grizzlies met the Thunder again. The last time the two sides fought, Link scored a historic four-double data.

Today, Westbrook is about to avenge his previous shame.

As a result, at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, where the Thunder did not score sports games and fans would not sit down, the Grizzlies played the Thunder with an incredible 20-0 at the beginning!

The Grizzlies' high morale has transformed into an extremely tough defense on the field. Whether physically or psychologically, the Grizzlies' defense is very tough.

The Thunder fans' legs were sore, but they didn't see the Thunder scored! But there was no way, and they had to finish the rules they set themselves and cried.

Although the Thunder eventually broke the scoring drought, the game was already very difficult for the Thunder when the Grizzlies had already scored 20-0.

In the end, Westbrook scored a triple-double with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, but the Thunder also lost 99-113.

Link once again proved that it is meaningless to be unable to win a triple-double game.

After the Thunder, on November 13, the Grizzlies met another Western Conference powerful Rockets.

In this battle, Harden and Link played much gentlerly and did not score each other, but both of them connected the entire team.

Harden scored 9 assists in a single game, and the Rockets scored in double digits.

Link sent 12 assists, which also allowed the Grizzlies to score with both hands.

Both sides fought to the last few rounds with anxiety, and Link also began to stand up and take the initiative to score.

In the end, Link made 4 of 4 shots in a critical period, helping the Grizzlies to finally defeat the Rockets 110-105.

From the Warriors to the Thunder to the Rockets, the Grizzlies have defeated three Western powerhouses in a row!

And every game, the Grizzlies handled it with ease.

A week later, the Grizzlies met the Cavaliers at home again.

During this period, the Grizzlies defeated the Bulls and Wizards respectively, and the winning streaks had reached six games without realizing it.

From two consecutive losses to six consecutive victories, the league may never find a second team that rebounds as fast as the Grizzlies.

In this game with the Cavaliers on January 20, the Grizzlies also maintained their good form recently.

The Cavaliers still played hard in this game, and the match between James and Link was still exciting for fans.

But Marc Gasol's three-pointer of 5 of 10 from outside the three-point line today became a turning point in the game.

The Cavaliers were not afraid of Gasol's three-pointers at the beginning, and Tyron Lu believed that the traditional center's three-pointers could not kill people. Therefore, the defensive strategy was mainly to shrink and prevent Link from doing so.

He just let Gasol vote and bet that Espanyol could not make a few.

Then, they were killed by Gasol.

Link scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, Gasol scored 27 points, and the Grizzlies defeated the Cavaliers 107-95.

At this point, the Grizzlies won seven consecutive victories! The most important thing is that they beat all four strong opponents, the Warriors, Thunder, Rockets and Cavaliers in January, and won a complete victory!

The value of these seven consecutive victories can be seen!

The Grizzlies' current exaggerated record of 40 wins and 4 losses can't help but have unlimited imaginations about 70+ wins in a single season!

Maybe the Grizzlies can do it!

"For the Grizzlies, this is undoubtedly a dominant month! They have defeated almost all the strong enemies and are already one of the strongest teams in the league! If the Grizzlies win the cup again this year, I will not be surprised at all!"

After the game with the Cavaliers, the live commentator couldn't help but yell and applaud.

The day after the game ended, when espn updated the mvp rankings again.
Chapter completed!
