1294: Surprise at the end of a career

The Vacovia Center Arena is one of the most difficult home courts to be captured this season, and the 76ers have played an extremely high winning rate here.

Before today's Christmas battle began, people thought that even if the Grizzlies could win, they would have a hard fight at this devil's home court.

But at this time, the Vachovia Central Stadium was lifeless, with no Christmas Eve joy or festive atmosphere at all.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like the reaction that fans should have when a fierce battle is in progress.

Because the fierce battle has ended long ago.

At this time, there were only two minutes left before the game was finished, but the Philadelphia 76ers were already 23 points behind the Grizzlies.

In the eyes of many fans, the moment Joel Embiid was sent off, the game was actually no longer intense.

After all, the biggest highlight of this game is the cross-border battle between Embiid and Link!

Not... it's because after Embiid's departure, the 76ers did not have enough strength to compete with the Grizzlies.

Link was sitting on the bench at this time, and he had already taken away 34 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists.

For comparison, Embiid only scored 6 points today, and Simmons scored 15 points and 5 assists.

The hope of Philadelphia's rise, the two hope stars that fans have high hopes for, have become unremarkable in front of Link.

In fact, this is the real reason why Philadelphia fans are dead now.

The reason they were lost was not because of the huge score difference, nor because Embiid was irritated by Link like a fool.

It’s because Philadelphia fans are almost equivalent to suffering a “dimensionality reduction strike”.

The 76ers' "process" cannot bear fruit in front of Link.

Last season, Philadelphia fans could also say that they lost to the Raptors just because they had poor luck.

If Leonard hadn't made the bottom three-pointer that was enough to be recorded in history, the story of the league would have been very different.

But now, Philadelphia fans suddenly realize that it would be of no use even if they really made it to the finals.

Because they really seem to be inadequate in front of the Grizzlies.

Embiid and Simmons, two guys who were held in their hands like treasures by Philadelphia fans, have not played any value at all today.

When you take out your best players and prepare to fight to the death with the opponent, but find that your best players are not at all in front of the opponent, you know how desperate Philadelphia fans are at this time.

The 76ers exposed many problems today, such as their offensive space is too small. While the defense reaches the top level of the league, the 76ers' offense is very poor.

In addition, Simmons, the all-round No. 1 pick, cannot exist in front of Link.

Embiid couldn't even handle Gasol, let alone face Jokic.

As for Richardson and Harris, they are indeed excellent players and do have the championship genes.

But don't forget that they have never been core. This is true for the Grizzlies, and so for the 76ers.

To win the 76ers, it depends on how high the upper limit of Simmons and Embiid is.

And the cruelest thing about this game is that Link told the world with practical actions: "Their upper limit is just that."

If this is a series of seven games and four victories, then the 76ers will no longer have the confidence to continue to build.

As of now, the 76ers have no way to take away victory from the Grizzlies.

Until now this season, the 76ers have been considered a strong championship contender.

But today, the 76ers will definitely be labeled as a "pseudo-strong team".

The Grizzlies have successfully fought against counterfeiting again.

In front of the real top league teams, "Five-Star Philadelphia" is simply weak.

On Christmas Eve of Philadelphia fans, they were torn to pieces by the Grizzlies' claws.

Two minutes later, the beeps at the end of the game sounded.

122 to 98, the Grizzlies easily won the Christmas game with 24 points away.

Link's last Christmas battle in his career was over.

This game somewhat disappointed the fans, and no one expected the Grizzlies to win so easily.

Of course, from a fighting perspective, the game is definitely worth the ticket price...

After the game, Mark Gasol, who had not appeared in front of the media for a long time, became a hot commodity.

Although Embiid was sent off for one and a half quarter on the court today, Gasol's defensive effect on Embiid was obvious to all in that quarter.

Of course, there are many reporters around Link. When asked about questions related to Embiid, Link repeatedly emphasized: "I said a long time ago that our substitute center can handle him. Joel Embiid is a keyboard warrior, and he is only good on social media."

Link still didn't say anything about it. He had to let Embiid remember deeply what would happen to annoy the Memphis Grizzlies.

Embiid, sitting in the locker room, looked at Link's proud face on TV, and really wanted to punch the TV.

But what's the use? His failure is irreversible.

Besides, it will hurt if you do that...

Less than ten minutes after the game, a new emoticon became popular on social media.

People put Embiid's final photo of this season on the basketball in his hand and pled it into a keyboard, with the caption: "Believe in the keyboard."

There are also voices of mocking Embiid on the Internet.

Link easily avoided Embiid's boxing video soared on the Internet, and the scene of him being locked on the ground by Simmons was also circulating on the Internet.

I don't know, I thought Embiid was beaten by two people today...

After the game, Embiid did not attend the press conference and did not update his Twitter.

This big mouth, who has always been troublesome, finally closed his mouth in front of Link.

As it turns out, Embiid has no say in front of Link, whether in the past or now.

He thought that with his current strength and the 76ers, he could be with Link Hard Steel.

However, everything seems to be no different from before.

The most important thing is that Embiid didn't even win the fight this time, and he was really embarrassed...

Once again, 76 people were brutally trampled on by the grizzly bears.

Link often smiled at the press conference, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood today.

Most people think Link was happy because he won the last Christmas battle of his career.

But in fact, the real reason why Link is happy is that he is finally relieved.

This was the last time in his life, he spent Christmas with a group of sweaty muscular men.

After this game, the Grizzlies won their 15th straight win of the season.

Its record of 29 wins and 3 losses is comparable to that of the Bucks, which are 27 wins and 4 losses in the league.

By the way, half an hour after the Grizzlies defeated the 76ers, the Bucks lost in the Christmas game, and their record turned into 27 wins and 5 losses.

This means that teams like the Milwaukee Bucks have also begun to gradually be widened by the Grizzlies.

No player can have the dominance of Link in his last season.

The next day, the scene where Embiid failed to attack Link but fell down by himself was made into a ghost video by enthusiastic Chinese fans.

Fighting experts from all walks of life are admiring Link's professionalism when evading attacks.

UFC President Dana Bai even tweeted: "Link can enter UFC after retirement, and I am willing to give him a $100 million appearance fee."

In a good basketball game, people's attention was the dozens of seconds of conflict... Link was speechless.

Where is Embiid? Not only did he withstand all the ridicule and humiliation, he was also fined + suspended by the league...

Link was a little embarrassed by Embiid. It would be fine if he was suspended from the game, at least he could show his bloodiness.

The key is that Embiid failed to hit Link with a punch, and he fell and was slapped naked from behind by Simmons. In the end, he would be beaten by the league.

Moreover, since Embiid made too many enemies before, after this embarrassment, stars such as Drummond, Whiteside and Towns who had had festivals with Embiid also stood up and sarcastically.

The last player who was criticized by the entire network was the one in the sewer.

Embiid is simply a tragic figure of the year. If there is this award at the next NBA awards ceremony, Link will definitely take the initiative to apply for the award to the "Emperor".

During the training the next day, everyone was also discussing Embiid.

Jokic said that he lost 100 million and actually missed such a wonderful Christmas Eve.

Link originally wanted to join the topic of his teammates, but when he stepped into the training hall, he stood there in a daze.

Link found that the little white strips in front of him seemed to be filled again.

However, Link has long been upgraded and has superimposed Hill's ability in the 1994-95 season. In other words, Link has already practiced to "full level".

If the little white strips are filled again, what other changes can happen? You can't upgrade toward Hill in the NCAA period.

In that case, it would be meaningless. Because Hill in the NCAA period had inferior abilities in all aspects as they were in the NBA period, and he had no superimposed abilities at all.

So, what's the use of filling in the little white strips after "full level"?

Link curled his lips, wondering if there were any surprises waiting for him next.
