519: Here comes the salt sprinkler

"The Grizzlies lost for the first time in the season!"

"The final kill in 0.9 seconds, Kevin Durant pierced the Grizzlies' unbeaten at home!"

"The anti-winning kill was successful! Kevin Durant started the playoff war ahead of schedule?"

"56 wins and 12 losses, 3 losses in 10 days. Are the Memphis Grizzlies closer or further away from the league record?"

As expected, the day after the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder, news about the Grizzlies almost flooded the entire basketball circle!

The words "successful losses" and "home loss" seem quite ordinary. But if you put them on the Grizzlies, it's a big news.

Durant and his Thunder became the first team this season to give the Grizzlies a series of losses and home losses. It is not easy to win such a significant victory on a team that is almost unrivaled.

Durant has received unanimous praise from the media, and some even said that Link and the Grizzlies will end this year like yesterday's game, and they will eventually lose to the Thunder just like last year.

Kevin Durant is the most dominant third player in the West.

This is how competitive sports are. Once you lose, how much praise you have received before, how much denial you will suffer now.

After this loss, the Grizzlies' record breaking the Mavericks and Lakers' record records was also regarded by most people.

The final game of the regular season cannot be compared with before, and it seems like a "breathless" thing to let the Grizzlies lose three more games.

Some people even believe that the Grizzlies will most likely experience three consecutive losses.

After all, the Grizzlies' opponents in the next game will not let them pass easily.

As a team that has just won five consecutive victories, the New York Knicks are in great shape now. And Cameron Anthony has also made it clear, "I don't care much about the record of other teams, but I will definitely do my best to win the game."

If Durant is the small forward who hates Link the most in the West, then Anthony is the small forward who hates Link the most in the East.

The Grizzlies moved forward unimpeded throughout the season, but at the end, they became extremely tortuous.

"The Grizzlies have a high chance of losing three consecutive games. After all, the Grizzlies are now depressed, while the Knicks, who have won five consecutive games, have a high morale. The mental state of the two teams will show a big contrast."

"This year is the best year for the New York Knicks since the 1994-95 season! At that time, the Knicks were already the era of Patrick Ewing. After waiting for nearly 20 years, the Knicks fans finally waited for a revival. So the Knicks will not lose easily, and every step they take is glorious!"

"If the Grizzlies really lose three consecutive times, I hope they can adjust their mentality as soon as possible. The playoffs are coming, so the Grizzlies must not perform abnormally due to psychological reasons."

Link casually flicked his phone and found that most people were more optimistic about the Knicks being able to win.

Grizzlies No. 0 couldn't help but curl their lips. He no longer remembers how long it took the reporters to see the Grizzlies. After all, Grizzlies have been winning before, and it is easy to slap themselves in the face when they see the Grizzlies.

But only one game was over and everything went back.

Link put down his cell phone and prepared to go out.

As a leader, he should take responsibility at this time and lead everyone through difficulties.

Yesterday at the press conference, I said everything I should say. Then today, it’s time to take action.

Dave Joggel, as the Grizzlies' defensive coach, has also dealt with the players more often.

After all, the Grizzlies' foothold is defense.

Today, he arrived at the training ground early to prepare the equipment needed for the players for training. By the way, he distributed the training plan to every trainer.

The Grizzlies lost the ball last night, and it was not only the players who were indignant, but the coaching staff members were also very unwilling.

It is precisely because of this that Dave Jogel appeared in the training hall so early today. Working hard is Jogel's first choice for unwillingness.

However, just after Jogel arrived at the stadium, he heard someone pushing open the door of the training hall.

At first, Jogel thought the visitor was his colleague Elston Turner. As assistant coaches, they all had to arrive at the stadium early to handle all kinds of trivial matters.

However, as soon as Jogel turned around, he wrote the word "surprise" on his face.

The visitor is not Turner, but the Grizzlies' top player Link! ::

"Link!? Why are you here so early??" Jogel couldn't help but look at his watch. It's only 6:50 now, and he didn't make the mistake of the time!

"Of course I'm here to train, Dave." Link smiled and began to warm up.

"Training? It's not here at 7 o'clock now! And you haven't noticed that even Jimmy Butler hasn't come yet?" After Jogel said, he looked around.

Generally speaking, Jimmy Butler was the first to go to the training hall. But today, Link came earlier than Butler!

"Anyway, I can't sleep, so I just got up earlier. OK, Dave, don't talk nonsense. Come and help me, I want to practice shooting after catching the ball."

Link waved and called Jogel to train with him.

Indeed, the Grizzlies lost a lot in these two games. But as Link said yesterday, the Grizzlies' goals will not change!

※※※

Link always sets an example in training today. Whether it is a cooperative project or a personal project, Link trains very seriously.

At the beginning of the training, it was obvious that the morale of the Grizzlies players was still a little low.

But after seeing Link so seriously, the others were greatly encouraged.

When we won, we all came over together. Now it’s time to handle it together, and everyone will definitely not escape at the last minute.

The Grizzlies' condition has recovered very well, but the outside world doesn't know it yet. The media is still full of voices that the Grizzlies will lose three consecutive times.

But Link was not in a hurry. Soon, everyone would see that it was not possible to completely defeat the Memphis Grizzlies.

Cameron Anthony knew that this was the Knicks' best chance year.

The New York Knicks have not been so strong for a long time. Indeed, the Knicks' record of 43 wins and 26 losses is far from the Grizzlies. But after all, they are also the legitimate second in the Eastern Conference!

When was the last time the Knicks and the Grizzlies fought? That was four months ago.

Although it was a long time apart, Anthony was still impressed by that game. He was so profound that he remembered every data that Link scored clearly.

With 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Link made the Knicks look disgraceful in that game. It also made people question Anthony's status.

Is Anthony, who can't even handle a third-grade player, still a superstar?

Everyone may forget that game, but Anthony won't!

Due to the particularity of this game, there were many reporters who came to Madison Square Garden to interview before the game.

Originally, New York was a basketball holy place. Even though the Knicks had poor performance for so many years, the New Yorkers still remained unyielding in the Knicks.

The basketball holy land meets the focus battle again, and the attention of this game is undoubtedly world-class.

In the training ground, Cameron Anthony was interviewed by many reporters. The superstar who successfully clarified himself this season, the most common question I have heard today is, "At home court, is it possible for the Knicks to give the Grizzlies a three-game losing streak?"

Whenever I encounter this problem, Cameron Anthony likes to show an unquestionable expression.

"If Durant can do it, then I can do it too. I said that I don't care about the other party's record, but I care about the victory of my own team."

The Knicks and Anthony undoubtedly wanted to sprinkle salt on the Grizzlies' wounds.

But if the beast is healed, what's the use of sprinkling salt?
