140: Confidence to break through the upper limit of the body
The four consecutive losses still made the Grizzlies' atmosphere a little depressed. Although the four opponents they lost to were considered strong teams in the league, and there were even big favorites like the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. But if they lost, they lost, and there was no excuse.
The March schedule is indeed too difficult for the Grizzlies. In the next half month, there will be a large number of strong enemies waiting for them.
On March 17 and 19, the Grizzlies will fight the Knicks again and the Indiana Pacers who also want to qualify for the playoffs.
On the 21st, we will play against the Utah Jazz, on the 23rd, the Celtics with the Big Three. The No. 25 plays the No. 1 Bulls in the East, and the No. 27 fights the Spurs again
No team is easy to play with each opponent. The Grizzlies are basically tough in every game in March.
But thankfully, the Rockets are now 5 wins away from the Grizzlies. As long as the Grizzlies don't lose continuously, they will basically not be caught up.
But who can tell the NBA is right? Hollins feels that he is under great pressure. The momentum this season is so good. If he fails to make the playoffs in the end, he will live up to people's expectations.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies had a chance to "gasp" before the Devil's schedule in the second half of March. On March 14, they will face the Los Angeles Clippers, which ranked last in the Western Conference.
For the Grizzlies, this kind of "warmth" team with the countdown level of the division must not be let go.
But the Clippers are a very special weak team. Although the Clippers are now ranked last in the West, they are almost the most combat-ready team among the countdown.
The team has a very strange composition. They have last year's No. 1 pick, this year's All-Star forward Blake Griffin, who has been a deputy from the James Cavaliers, and James' second-point score point "all passes" Mo Williams, who has one of the strongest rookies this year, and last season's All-Star center Chris Carman.
If it weren't for the injury problem, the Clippers would have had third-year guard Eric Gordon who averaged 22.3 points per game this season!
Just pulling out this list, it is hard to believe that this is actually a bottom team. After all, there are three players in the team who have been selected into the All-Star Game!
Because of this, the Clippers have also caused many first-class teams to overturn this year. They have overturned the Oklahoma City Thunder and are one of the few teams to beat the Spurs this year. "Queen Bee" Chris Paul has been knocked down by the Clippers, and even the Miami Heat have been defeated by the Clippers.
At the end of February just passed, the Clippers also won four consecutive victories, and the teams defeated were powerful teams like the Celtics and the Nuggets!
It can be seen from this that the Clippers are not the kind of bottom team that can be easily won. They have a certain combat power. If they are in good condition, they can even fight with strong teams to the end!
So, the Clippers, you say he is strong, he is the last in the West. You say he is weak, his lineup and past record are really unambiguous.
If the Clippers hadn't started the season too poorly and encountered some injuries, they might have really competed for a playoff spot with the Grizzlies this year.
Moreover, the Clippers face the Grizzlies, Griffin, the first rookie to be selected into the All-Star Game since Yao Ming in 2003, will definitely be very irritable and do your best.
Link has already stolen the limelight of the No. 1 pick in the rookie game this season, but in the regular season, Griffin will definitely not let himself be beaten by Link.
Thinking of this, Hollins felt that his anxious hairline seemed to have risen a few centimeters. The devil's schedule is indeed worthy of its name.

"brush!"
"brush!"
"brush!"
"brush!"
In the empty training hall, the wonderful notes made by the friction between basketball and the Nets made Marcus Will feel fulfilled.
The Asian forward wearing a training suit was already sweating, but his shooting percentage was still very stable. When no one was defending during training, Link's goals were usually connected in strings.
Will naturally feels smart and accomplished when he can train a undraft as a small star. Although Link's progress is not his own credit, he is the one who practices with that kid every night.
Will doesn't know why Link is so persistent, because his performance is already outstanding enough.
Playing with Anthony, he completed the quasi-final victory, and invested a winning goal on Chris Paul, was selected for the All-Star Rookie Tournament and won the rookie tournament MVPNBA, there is no second rookie season to lose the draft, and he is more successful than Link.
Whenever Will thinks Link must be satisfied, the undraft will say to him, "Will, continue practicing more tonight."
When Link came to the Grizzlies, his goal was to stay in the NBA, but now, it's not the case.
"Okay, stop!" At this time, Marcus Will called to stop Link's training because he had completed today's open shooting event.
Link pulled up his jersey and wiped it, "How is the hit rate today?"
“73%.
"Sure enough, it's too low!" Link shook his head. For NBA-level players, the three-point shooting percentage of 73% in training space is not too high.
When he went to Los Angeles to train, Kobe said that when he practiced three-pointers, his shooting percentage was basically around 80%, and he had created a miracle of 63 consecutive goals.
Before Link came over, he saw an interview about Curry, saying that Curry made 100 three-pointers in a three-point training, and the primary school student scored 94! During this period, he scored 77 goals in a row!
Compared with these guys, Link's hit rate today is indeed not very good.
"It is normal for shooting training to fluctuate in shooting percentages. Even the top athletes cannot guarantee that their shooting percentage will remain stable every night. So I suggest that you should go home early today to rest. When you feel or are in a bad state, the more you practice, the more you shoot, the more you shoot."
"The shooting hasn't been practiced in today's interference. Will. Why are you going to date the girl?" Link looked at his trainer Will with a smile.
"I'm going to have a date. I'll train with you every night. Where can I go to find a girl! I'll be single for the rest of my life, you will be responsible, Link!"
"Hehe, I can't take responsibility. So, sometimes you don't have to worry about me, I can train myself."
"That's not possible. If no one urges you, who knows when you will train until you will go home. By the way, the fans are looking forward to playing the Clippers tomorrow. The team has lost four consecutive times in recent times, and they all look forward to you winning the No. 1 pick. How do you feel, does the team have a chance to win?"
"What does it mean to have a chance to win? You have to win. If you lose four consecutive times, if you continue to lose like this, the Rockets should catch up no matter how weak they are."
"Why do I feel like you're humiliating the Rockets?" Will narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not, I don't. But seriously, that guy Blake Griffin's physical talent is so enviable. Do you think it's great to buckle others in the air?" Link said, holding up the basketball and gestured.
"It's like you've never locked anyone else. Kevin Martin will strangle you to death when he hears you, and he also says you haven't humiliated the Rockets."
"He's the defender, I've never dunked a big man."
"It's okay, you have other specialties. Don't envy other people's talents. Every player has his own good things." Will patted Link on the shoulder to show comfort.
Indeed, most people can easily practice technical things. But physical fitness things are particularly talented. A floor streamer with average physical talent may almost never become a Fauna player who can fly and escape the earth for a lifetime.
Will knew that Link had always had a heart that flew to the sky, but his physical fitness was indeed not at the top.
"It's okay, I don't envy it. I should be able to have what he can have after working hard." However, Link laughed confidently.
Will was a little confused, Link was too optimistic.
Of course he didn't know that the reason why Link trained so crazy recently was because his white strips were almost filled. Link estimated that by the end of this month, he would probably be able to upgrade again!
From the "Devil Mountain" at its peak, Link is going to take a step further. Indeed, it is difficult for ordinary people to break through their physical talent limits. However, Link is not an ordinary person.
Chapter completed!
