With 8 blocks and 3 steals, this time, even the ball blind can see how much Mark Gasol contributed to the Grizzlies' defensive end.

Although Espanyol is not good at scoring explosiveness, he is indeed not a star if he weighs the scoring ability. But in basketball, there is not only the scoring data. Every player has his own good things and can play out his own good side in the game, that is a good player.

After this game, DeAndrew Jordan became the target of drool, and his frizzy performance in the game was far from that of Gasol.

People say, "Dandrew is completely overestimating his ability. He shouldn't have killed the enemy beyond his level."

"Without Chris Paul, DeAndrew Jordan, it's like a child who has lost his shelter."

"Compared with Mark, DeAndrew is really only ranked fourth."

Seeing the media's reputation 180° reverse, Link was proud of Gasol. He shut up in one game. That guy who likes to grow vegetables is a typical representative of the ruthless and not much talk.

Don’t underestimate any old man who grows melons.

After reading the news, Link practiced shooting in his own stadium at night. Now, even if he is at home, he can practice ball while sitting. After all, his home has half an indoor basketball court built in.

Although shooting at home does not have much improvement, it can also help Link maintain the feel at any time. By the way, it can also increase the progress of the little white strips bit by bit.

Training like shooting and shooting is not very effective on Xiaobaibiao's progress, but it is better than nothing. Accumulating a lot of things will make you save at least one or two days of time when Link practices like this every day.

Link has been waiting for this upgrade at the end of January. He found that the further he went, the slower the accumulated speed of Xiaobaitiao.

At the beginning, I could upgrade after practicing for a month. But now most of the season has passed, and Xiaobaitiao still has a little spare left.

And what worries Link is that his next upgrade is still very embarrassing.

When Link fills the little white bars next time, he will be the ability of Grant Hill in the 2003-04 season. Link is impressed by Hill in the 2004-05 season. After all, Hill seemed to dream of returning to his peak that year, averaged nearly 20 points per game, and was also selected as the All-Star. Although his athletic ability fell in a cliff-jumping manner, he was still one of the best No. 3 players in the league.

But in the 2003-04 season, even if you look for the most senior Hill fans, you can't tell what he was like in that year.

Because that year, Hill had never played a single game.

From 2001 to 2005, Hill, who was in the death cycle of returning and injured, underwent five foot surgeries. It was also in recent years that a true "Jordan successor" completely died.

And in recent years, Hill's worst injury was in the 2003-04 season.

In 2003, the fifth ankle surgery triggered Staphylococcus infection in Hill. The "Devil Mountain" had a high fever of 40 degrees. Not to mention playing basketball, he almost died! Although he survived with his wife's company, Hill spent all of his time in the hospital bed from the age of 31 to 32.

So, will it be useless to gain Hill's ability in the 2003-04 season? This made Link very worried.

Although his progress speed is unprecedented, although he is now one of the best No. 3 players in the league, even if he does not become stronger after upgrading, he can still move further away from the peak Hill. But of course, Link doesn't want his sweat to be wasted in vain. Who wants to stay where he can become stronger?

Link is an older rookie. He only entered the league after graduating from his senior year. He doesn't have a lot of time to squander like other young people.

In the future, Wiggins can soak wolfberry in a thermos cup, after all, he was only 23 years old at that time. But as soon as Link arrived this summer, he was already 25 years old.

At the age of 25, he always said that he was not old, but he was not young anymore. Most stars should have achieved results at this age.

The 25-year-old Kobe has already won three consecutive championships.

Jordan, 25, averaged 35 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and was awarded the scoring champion of that season, steals king, regular season MVP and All-Star MVP, who was really a hooligan.

25-year-old James is already a top superstar in the league and has won the first regular season MVP trophy in his career.

What about Link? He is almost 25 years old and is even considered by many people not a first-line superstar.

Therefore, Link naturally hopes that every upgrade he has achieved effect. But now he has no way to control so many things. The only thing he can do is sweat and try to fill the white strips to see the results.

This January, Link is destined to spend most of his day at the basketball court.

Training continues and the game continues. Although the devil's schedule in January has passed, there is still three months left for the regular season battle.

Just after fighting the Clippers, the Grizzlies met their old enemy Spurs again. However, this time, the battlefield became the Att Center.

The last time the two sides fought, the scene of Link's final victory still made Popovich feel scared. During the interview before the game, he also told reporters, "The key to winning is that the Grizzlies cannot drag the game into the last moment. The Grizzlies' ability to end the game at a critical moment is really too powerful."

Popovich was afraid, and the Spurs players were also afraid. So today, the Spurs played extremely cautiously, and the transmission ball was very smooth, and they played a perfect team attack.

The Spurs gave 33 assists throughout the game to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to take an open position. In the end, under the patient team's attack, the Spurs scored a 58.7% overall shooting percentage and a 50% three-point shooting percentage! The efficiency was terrifyingly high.

Leonard, a guy who doesn't shoot three-pointers in people's impression, may have been stimulated by Link in the last game, so he made 3 of 3 three-pointers today, making Link lose his temper.

With such an efficient attack, it was difficult for the Spurs to lose this time. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 103-98 at home. In the regular season, the Spurs regained the lead with a score of 2-1.

Link performed well today, with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. But in the face of the Spurs' perfect attack, it was still not enough to let the Grizzlies win.

He just finished playing 8 days and 6 games and encountered the Spurs. Link found that the Grizzlies and Spurs met this year were not very coincidental.

The situation where the Spurs and the Grizzlies confronted each other in the regular season has made fans of the two teams look forward to the two sides' playoffs.

"Maybe we can really decide the winner only in the playoffs." Link, who eliminated the Spurs for two consecutive years, answered the reporter.

In the following days, the Grizzlies won and lost.

On the 18th and 19th, they won the Kings and Bulls respectively, and on the 21st, they lost to the Pacers who came to revenge. But on the 23rd, they immediately took the Lakers again.

Kobe played 39 minutes in the whole game and scored 29 points. But the Lakers' chaotic offense and poor locker room atmosphere made Kobe unable to get any strong support.

Gasol and Howard shot 14 times in total and only hit 4 goals. Therefore, a simple pile of superstars is not necessarily a shortcut to winning the championship.

106-93, the Grizzlies beat the Lakers at home, avoiding a series of losses. After the game, Ko even forgot to hug Link, but instead threw off his towel and walked into the player's channel.

Link understands that Kobe is aiming for the championship this year, but he found that the team is now difficult to even enter the playoffs.

This huge gap naturally makes it unbearable for people like Kobe like to bear it.

After the game tonight, the Grizzlies will get two days off. So Link decided to continue practicing after the game.

He can't wait to see what new abilities he can gain tonight.

※※※

Training is actually common in NBA. However, most of the time a star does not perform well in this game. In fact, there is a meaning of competing with himself.

But Link's performance today was very good. He scored 32 points in the game, overwhelming Kobe, who had fought for his life. By the way, he also sent 7 assists, allowing Randolph to score 18 points.

So, when Stevens heard that Link had to practice even if he played like this, he felt something was incredible.

"That guy is not satisfied with his performance like this? His score is higher than Kobe!"

Elston Turner just shrugged, and tonight, the trainer had to work overtime with Link again.

One and a half hours after the game, Link, who had been practicing shooting after receiving the ball, suddenly stopped his movements, looking surprised.

"Noah, thank you for your hard work, let's get to this day." Then he waved his hand and asked the trainer to get off work. Link, who was sweating all over, sat on the floor, digesting the lines of words that had just appeared in front of him.

Grant Hill's ability has been superimposed in the 202-03 season.

That’s right, it’s not the 2003-04 season, but the 2002-03 season! It seems that because Hill did not play in the 2003-04 season, that year was skipped!

It is equivalent to Link being promoted two levels tonight! Link really didn't expect this.

In this way, Link is only two times away from the omnipotent peak Hill in 2000.
Chapter completed!
