1249: Team in place of Warriors (2/5)
Link had just failed to win the final battle, and Jordan gave Link another sip of milk...
Link was simply convinced. After Jordan became the owner of the Hornets, he didn't like to discuss the performance of active players.
But this time, he actually shared his views so quickly.
It feels completely intentional!
In fact, Jordan really wanted to encourage Link. He said in person that Link would soon tie James, but Link immediately failed, and Jordan felt a little embarrassed.
So as soon as the game ended, Jordan gave his explanation and tried to save face.
But Jordan probably didn't know that his "poisonous milk" level was almost up to his back jump shot. Link could have made a comeback in the next game.
But after being encouraged by Jordan, Link felt that it was lingering again!
Poisonous milk will cause poison to die if you eat it one by one!
Link was crying but no tears. Could it be that this was Jordan's last resort to stop him from surpassing him...
Sure enough, after Jordan's social media was posted, the media were ready to watch the fun again.
Let’s see when Jordan’s second mouthful of poisonous milk will come true.
Anyway, you will definitely not be able to escape, so Link can only ask for more blessings.
※※※
Although the Grizzlies lost to the Jazz, the loss in this game was not magnified by the media and fans.
In their opinion, it is a pity that the Grizzlies missed each other with the ten consecutive wins.
But the loss to the Jazz was just an ordinary defeat.
Everyone believes that with the strength of the Grizzlies, they will be on the right track soon.
Although Jordan's poisonous milk is powerful, it is impossible for the Grizzlies to have to score the final result in every game.
So, even Sam Smith, the number one Lin Hei, did not sarcastically after the Grizzlies lost to the Jazz.
Now it is no longer the same as back then. The Grizzlies and Link will not be black-cooled because they lost a game.
After all, the black grizzly bear is a good time, but it is not at all uncomfortable to be slapped in the face immediately.
The Grizzlies did not disappoint. After losing to the Jazz, the frustrated Link immediately brought two big wins to the Grizzlies.
On November 17, when he played against the Nuggets at home, Link scored 39 points unscrupulously, easily solving his opponent.
Today, Nuggets coach Mike Malone deliberately pushed 3D forward Jerami Grant, who has grown rapidly in recent years, to start in order to curb Link's performance.
Jerami Grant is indeed very good in physical condition. Although he is 2.03 meters tall like Link, his wingspan is exaggerated by 2.20 meters!
Last season, Grant gave a 39% three-point shooting percentage. As a swingman at the third and fourth position, he averaged 1.3 blocks per game, and it was very consistent with the requirements and standards of unlimited switchovers.
He is a player who has made great contributions on both sides of the offense and defense.
Seeing Jerami Grant start, many people thought Link would fall into a tough battle today.
However, Link, who tried hard to keep the game away from the final goal, made Jerami Grant lose face.
Throughout the game, Grant was very active in Link's defense, but Link's rich arsenal made Grant's activeness become useless.
When Link dribbled on the outside, Grant could not make the steal by his wingspan.
At the beginning of the game, Grant tried several times to interfere with Link's dribble.
But the result is that as long as he moves, Link will easily pass by.
Afterwards, Grant did not dare to take the snatch rashly. But he found that even so, he was helpless with Link.
Because Link's impact is too strong!
Although Grant is tall and has long arms, his strength and tonnage are average. He is the "lean" type of player. Faced with Link's impact, Grant is completely pushed away.
Finally, Link began to commit scrambling at mid-range.
His shaking, retreating, and changing direction made Jerami Grant unable to find North at all.
Link could grab the slightest bit of empty space every time and pull up to finish the shot.
As it turns out, having excellent physical conditions alone does not necessarily mean becoming an excellent defensive expert.
Jerami Grant is an insurmountable mountain for 80% of the league's players.
Unfortunately, Link is at the peak of that 1%.
In the end, Jerami Grant did not play with Link until the end. Because the game entered garbage time just a few minutes after the start of the fourth quarter.
131 to 114, the Grizzlies beat the Nuggets to a loss. Link's 39 points also made him vent all the reluctance after losing to the Jazz in the last game.
After the game, a reporter asked Jerami Grant: "What does it feel like to keep a guard against Link in the whole game."
Grant put his waist on his back and looked painful: "How do you say it? I probably know what hell looks like."
Look at it, is this what people do? They almost beat the children to cry.
After the Nuggets, the Grizzlies also welcomed the "dessert" of the Warriors.
Last season, the Warriors also fought with the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals.
But this season, the Warriors are already a bad team!
This summer, absolutely no one thought that the Warriors Dynasty would collapse so quickly and thoroughly.
Throughout the summer, people say that grizzlies will collapse and grizzlies will be doomed.
In the end, the Grizzlies' biggest opponent in recent years is over.
In addition to Durant's departure, the biggest reason for the Warriors' end was injuries.
This season, Curry, Thompson and even the newly joined D'Angelo Russell were both troubled by injuries and had hardly played well.
So much so that when Link stepped onto the court to confront the Warriors, he couldn't even recognize the Warriors' starting lineup!
Although the Warriors are in trouble now, both sides are old enemies after all.
Therefore, the Grizzlies were still not ruthless and slaughtered the Warriors in the Federal Express Arena.
Brothers want to eat meat, but Link can't control it. There is no way, the Warriors' second-round starters can only bear the pain that does not belong to them alone.
How cruel are the Grizzlies in this game? It’s not difficult to know when looking at the data of the Grizzlies players.
Jokic scored 28 points, Conley scored 21 points like a resurrection.
Gasol scored 18 points, Dillon Brooks scored 17 points, Rose scored 22 points...
Fortunately, Dinwiddie and the others are gone, otherwise they would definitely be more excited.
The final score of this game is 136 to 95.
At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but it is more than 100 and more than 90. It has 136 points in a single game. To be honest, this league is not very exaggerated now.
But after careful calculation, the score difference reached an exaggerated 41 points!
The grizzly bear is so happy.
41 points is also the highest single-game score difference in the league this season.
Even a year ago, the intensity of this game was definitely not the case now.
But that's the NBA, no team can keep it in its heyday.
Whoever "died" first will be in trouble first.
If the Grizzlies could beat the Warriors 41 points in the past, Link would definitely be fragrant and chat with his "old friend" Draymond Green.
Link will never give up without squirting him to autism.
But at the press conference after the game, Link did not do that.
To be honest, there is nothing to show off when this warrior wins.
To put it bluntly, the Warriors are now better than the Development League team. A team that is mostly composed of second-round picks and undraft picks is not what the Development League team is.
If you are complacent about the victory of this game, then you will be reducing your value.
Not only did Link not take any action, he also said in front of reporters that he hoped Curry and Thompson could recover soon, and that he did not want his last year, his old rivals were absent.
Sure enough, the friendship between men is formed.
However, Curry and Thompson did not find Link's words warm.
It's been my last year, and I'm still thinking about defeating us...
The game between the Grizzlies and the Warriors is a pity. They were the best team in the league a year ago, but their current situation is very different.
However, the Warriors' loneliness will not make Link and the Grizzlies feel lonely.
Because there are other teams who have taken over the Warriors and are eyeing the Grizzlies.
For example, the Los Angeles Clippers!
After the game, Link looked at the schedule.
In the next game, the Grizzlies will face the Clippers, which are ranked first in the strength list for the first time this season!
By then, the Clippers' strong forward reserves will definitely cause huge trouble to the Grizzlies.
Leonard's "face paralysis" is also one of the few players in the league who can really curb Link.
The most important thing is that the Clippers definitely have the ability to drag the game into the last moment.
This is what Link is most worried about.
Jordan's last poisonous milk has not yet expired.
Chapter completed!
