1123: The mortal enemy who is pressing step by step (1/5)
Durant and Green taunted Link with pretending to cough at the press conference, which was probably the biggest news before the All-Star Game began.
Although Durant and Green were criticized by everyone, Durant also apologized on social media under pressure.
But once the beam is formed, it will not be so easy to untie it.
Obviously, Link did what he said again. Whenever reporters asked questions about Green and Durant, Link's answers always contain words starting with f and b.
The joke was very distressed about this and also gave Link a ticket and a warning.
But Link still did his own thing and did not shy away. He said that he would no longer respect Durant and Green, and indeed he implemented it quite thoroughly.
The joke is that I have thought of directly banning Link, but the most popular stars who are being promoted are suspended at the critical moment of the All-Star Game... It seems that it is not very appropriate.
So, the conflict between Link and Durant was allowed to intensify.
Finally, the arrival of the All-Star Weekend made this matter slightly relieved. Everyone's mind shifted from the conflict between Link and Durant to the All-Star Weekend performance.
After losing to the Warriors, the Grizzlies defeated the Pelicans and Nets in succession, which slightly calmed the anger of Memphis fans.
However, this matter has only come to an end, but it is far from over.
In this year's All-Star Game, even Durant and Westbrook played a emotional card that would undo their past grudges, but Link and Durant still didn't deal with it.
Journalists found that Durant and Link were the only two players in the Western Conference All-Star team who did not say a word to each other at all.
Even in the All-Star Game of Performing, Link and Durant were secretly competing. After one of them scored, the other party had to score a goal before they could give up.
It was as if Link and Durant had not fought in the same locker room, which was already a blessing in disguise.
The two had no idea of reconciliation at the All-Star Game.
Although this year's All-Star MVP was finally awarded to host Anthony Davis, who scored 52 points tonight.
But after the game, Durant and Link were the ones that were discussed the most.
These two guys are like modern Jordan and Isaiah Thomas, who seem to be unable to reconcile throughout the player era.
As soon as the All-Star Game ended, the conflict between Link and Durant was still a hot topic.
In this atmosphere of two heroes competing for hegemony, who can reach the finals this year has also become the biggest highlight of the West.
Of course, no matter how fierce the fans argue, it cannot represent anything.
Who is the master of this alliance depends on the achievements to classify the students.
After the All-Star ended, the Warriors easily won the Clippers.
Due to Paul's injury, the Clippers could not compete with the Warriors at all.
Curry beat Paul's replacement Austin Rivers with 35 points and a 60% three-point shooting percentage.
The next day, the Grizzlies also ushered in their first match after the All-Star Weekend.
All fans hope that the Grizzlies and Link can use a victory to destroy the arrogance of the Warriors and Durant.
However, their ending was not as beautiful as the Warriors.
On February 24, in Indianapolis, the Grizzlies lost to the Pacers in some surprise.
The Pacers' record has only 29 wins and 28 losses this season, which is not too amazing.
Although because of Paul George's relationship, the Pacers are still considered a force that cannot be ignored. At this time, they are no longer one of the champion contenders.
However, such a team that can only be considered as a playoff level has played a perfect game.
Of course, Link's performance was as good as ever. George tried his best and could only barely tie Link.
But the others in the Pacers made a big splash at the three-point line today.
In this game, the Pacers shot 46.3% of their three-point shooting percentage, which undoubtedly far exceeded their average.
The Pacers averaged only 37.6% of their three-point shooting percentage this season, and they are not a team that relies on three-pointers to win.
Pacers coach Nate McMillan still emphasizes defense and positional offense.
Therefore, even McMillan himself was surprised to be able to defeat the Grizzlies in this way.
The Pacers legend Reggie Miller, who commented on this game, couldn't help but smile and said, "If the Pacers could have such a hit rate every night, they would have been the number one in the East long ago. I have to say that luck is on the Pacers' side today."
The Grizzlies won two games after losing to the Warriors and immediately suffered another loss, which was unexpected by many fans.
Therefore, it is very difficult to maintain a winning streak in the long regular season. The basketball game is full of all kinds of surprises and variables, and not even stronger teams will definitely win the game in the end.
Luck is also one of the unexpected factors.
After the game, George hugged Link, the old friend.
Link sincerely blessed George, after all, it was related to this, so Link was really angry.
If another team wins the Grizzlies today, Link will embrace others with a harmonious embrace.
However, after this unexpected defeat, the Grizzlies' record also turned into 52 wins and 6 losses.
There is still a little more than a month and a half in the regular season, with a total of 24 games.
If Link wants to set a new record in the regular season record, it means that they will only be allowed to lose one more game in 24 games in more than a month and a half!
In an instant, breaking the 74-win record becomes a hell difficulty thing.
And what is even more worrying is that after the Warriors defeated the Clippers yesterday, their record has become 50 wins and 8 losses!
The Grizzlies lost again today, and the gap between them was further narrowed.
At this time, there is only two wins left between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, and it seems that there is a possibility of overtaking the Grizzlies in ranking at any time.
Sure enough, as soon as the match between the Grizzlies and the Pacers ended, the Warriors fans cheered.
"I've said a long time ago that the Warriors will make efforts after the All-Stars, and the time when the Grizzlies firmly sit first in the West has ended!"
"Like most of the past examples, the Grizzlies seemed a little tired after the All-Star game. It seems that the Warriors' number one in the regular season this season is still the Warriors."
"Hahaha, in this way, the Grizzlies won't say anything stupid as a re-winning championship. It turns out that no matter how difficult the situation is, the Warriors can handle the Grizzlies!"
For a moment, the Warriors fans were as excited as if they had won the championship.
It is something they have been looking forward to to get closer to the grizzlies for countless days and nights.
The fans were having such a big fuss, and Green, who had never been bothered by the fact that he had started typing on the keyboard.
"Champions are always champions, and we will soon regain everything that originally belonged to us."
At the end of this sentence, Green also added a crown expression.
This Twitter undoubtedly further escalated the gunpowder smell of both sides.
Anyway, Green is not afraid of fans squirting, so even though there was a "cough incident" just now, Green is still tirelessly provoking Link.
It is obvious that the Warriors want to regain the No. 1 in the Western Conference after the All-Star Game to show their dominance.
In order to achieve this goal, they will only press forward step by step for the remaining month and a half.
The pressure is now all over the Grizzlies and Link.
When you are chasing a super team behind you, you will never get peace.
Chapter completed!
