Countless Knicks fans and Thunder fans wrote a lot of articles about Black Link on the day the All-Star voting results came out on the 14th.

But after the Grizzlies and Nuggets' match ended, these articles were basically all abandoned. In the words of Charles Barkley, "Link has no black spots in this game."

40 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds, shooting percentage of 55.4%, and only 2 turnovers... It's hard for you to ask for a player, and you'll do better than that.

While winning excellent data, Link also led the team to reverse the victory. To be honest, even Knicks fans and Thunder fans did not know how to deny Link's performance in this game.

There is no cooler way to use hard power to shut up Kuroko.

After fighting with the Nuggets, it started to snow in Memphis. Only then did Link remind that winter was coming and Christmas was getting closer.

Although Christmas is still several days away, the Christmas atmosphere in Memphis has become stronger in advance.

When Link went to the training hall the next day, he found that a huge Christmas tree had already been erected outside the Federal Express Arena.

It is full of colorful lights, and it is so beautiful when combined with the light snow that just fell last night.

After training, he drove on the street and found that Christmas specials had already started in shopping malls. Socks or Christmas trees were hung at the door of each house. In short, it was as lively as the Chinese Spring Festival.

Although this is Link's third season since he became a professional player, Link hasn't actually had a good Christmas yet.

In the first year, as a marginal person who was carrying a short contract of ten days, Link was thinking about how to survive in the league and had no mood to celebrate the festival at all.

Last season was a shrinking season, the league decided that Christmas was the first day of the new season. The opening match of the new season was the Christmas battle. Therefore, during Christmas, all the Grizzlies were nervously preparing for the battle and did not feel like they were having a holiday.

This year, this is the first time that Link has experienced the festive atmosphere of Christmas. Faced with this "foreign festival" that he had hardly cared about in China before, Link seemed a little overwhelmed.

For him, nothing seemed to have changed. After returning home, he still faced the empty room alone, and was still sweating in the basketball court the next day. This festival where everyone participated seemed to have nothing to do with Link.

In the following days, the Grizzlies played several more games.

On December 16, the Grizzlies beat the Jazz with 13 points and 12 rebounds and 4 assists in December 16. They scored double-double in the third consecutive game.

On the 17th, they fought back to back at home. In this game, Thibodeau and Stevens played a defensive battle with a terrible attack. The overall shooting percentage of the two teams was less than 40%, the score was extremely low and the pace was extremely slow. If you don’t know, you thought you were back ten years ago.

However, in the end, the Grizzlies still relied on their deeper lineup to defend the victory. 80 to 71, this strange showdown ended with the narrator's sleepy eyes. Link scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and the Grizzlies won seven consecutive games!

I thought that continuous competitions would dilute the festive atmosphere. However, it turned out that Link thought about Christmas too simply.

"Go to the Children's Hospital to visit the children tomorrow?" When Link received the notice, he was very surprised. It's not that Link doesn't do charity activities often. In fact, even if Link doesn't want to, Grizzlies and Jeff Austin will arrange various charity activities for Link.

What's more, Link is not opposed to charity.

What surprised Link was that the notice even marked a special sentence - all players must appear in front of the children wearing Santa Claus's clothes.

Well, together with continuous competitions, people's enthusiasm for Christmas cannot be concealed.

So on the afternoon of December 18, Link and his teammates dressed as Santa Claus and appeared at St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis.

Link sent a Barbie doll to a little girl, a toy and his signature jersey to a little boy.

Finally, he played magic card game with a boy suffering from congenital leukemia for a while.

It was a very meaningful day for Link, and it was very gratifying to do what he could to do for these children.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

However, after coming out of the Children's Hospital, Link took off Santa's clothes and felt that something was missing.

So he continued his life. He went home alone every day, sweating on the training ground every day. By the way, he also won some competitions.

On December 19, the Grizzlies slaughtered the Bucks at home with 20 points. "Jies" Brandon Jennings played 15 irons in the whole game, and took away the Bucks with a shooting rate of 34.6%. Monta Ellis was not willing to be outdone. He made 13 irons in 14 shots, and finally defeated Jennings with a shooting rate of 7.1%, taking away the title of Iron King.

On December 21, the Grizzlies defeated the declining Dallas Mavericks at home and won their second nine-game winning streak this season!

But on December 22, in the back-to-back match in Houston, the Grizzlies' winning streak ended again with nine consecutive wins.

Perhaps in order to avenge the revenge of losing to the Grizzlies at the beginning of the season, the Rockets are in great shape today! The team's seven players scored in double digits, of which Harden also scored 31 points and 8 assists, made 3 of 3 three-pointers, and had a perfect data with a total shooting percentage of 69.2%.

The Grizzlies may have suffered a three-point shooting percentage today due to back-to-back combat. The Grizzlies hit two three-pointers in the whole game, and two of them came from Link. The others' shots outside the three-point line all ended in a blacksmith.

111 to 100, and in this way, the Grizzlies lost the game at Toyota Center by 11 points.

After the game, Link was in a bad mood, and the thing he feared the most was still coming.

Link is not afraid of losing. After all, the Grizzlies performed very abnormally in this game, which does not mean that the Grizzlies are definitely weaker than the Rockets. Besides, even if they lose this game, the Grizzlies' record is still sarcastic in the entire league, and there is nothing to worry about.

Everyone believes that as long as the Grizzlies adjust their state and win another consecutive victory, there will be no pressure at all.

What scared Link was that after the game, his first Christmas holiday since he became a professional player was about to begin.

Since the Grizzlies are in a small football market, even though they reached the Western Conference Finals last season, this year's Christmas game still has no share.

This is actually very normal. As for the Christmas battle, we naturally have to find the most gimmick and box office showdown. This year, even the Spurs and the Mavericks were excluded from the Christmas battle, let alone the Grizzlies.

So, after playing the Rockets today, until November 27, the Grizzlies had no game to play! Stevens has announced that the teams do not need to train for three days on the 23rd, 24th and 25th, and they will be on a complete holiday! It was not until December 26th, a day after Christmas that the players would come back to report, participate in training and prepare for the Philadelphia 76ers on the 27th.

For others, it is a luxury to get such a small holiday in the season. After all, the NBA is not like European football, and there is also the saying of winter break. Not all NBA players have the luck to get a Christmas holiday.

But for Link, this is a trouble. What should he do after so many days?

Go out with your teammates? Of course, your teammates have to accompany their families on Christmas holidays.

Reunite with his family? Link doesn't have that deep relationship with his current parents. At most, he will be done with them for a day.

Come to train yourself? On Christmas Day, it seems a bit miserable to do this...

Christmas phobia, this seems to be a problem that modern medicine cannot solve.

Link then sent a text message to the manager Jeff Austin, asking him to arrange something for himself.
