084: Fighting

28 points, a career high. 96 to 82, the Grizzlies beat the Bobcats.

Judging from the results, it seems that there is nothing strange about the Grizzlies winning the Bobcats. After all, the Grizzlies' paper lineup is indeed stronger, which can be seen from the results of both sides.

But anyone who has watched the game knows how difficult it is to win the Grizzlies in this game.

Zach Randolph, 7 of 17 shots, 15 points. Rudy Guy, 5 of 16 shots, 13 points. Mike Conley, only 6 of 17 shots, 13 points. O.j. Mayo, 1 of 8 shots, 4 points

At first glance, the shooting percentages of the Grizzlies' major players are very urgent, and their scores are not too high. Just from the efficiency alone, the Grizzlies have no reason to win.

However, Link stood up. When his teammates were all in a downturn, Link was ordered to score 28 points in the whole game. Among them, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers. While scoring high scores, he also restricted Stephen Jackson's offense.

His excellent performance is not only reflected in the data. Without Link, the Grizzlies players would not win the game in one go.

It's not even a win brought by Link.

After the game, Link stood up from the bench. At this time, only half of the fans were left in the Time Warner Center Arena. They thought they would have a big victory today, but they were defeated.

Stephen Jackson, the best performer of the Bobcats, walked towards Link. When Link found that this guy known as the "Martial Saint" approached him, he thought the other party was here to find fault.

Little did they know that when Stephen Jackson approached, this guy who was once a irritable guy who kept breaking things off the field opened his arms and hugged Link.

"Good job, boy. You're amazing, you're better than most people think. Keep going and don't lose the chain."

Link was a little confused. He didn't expect Stephen Jackson to tell him this.

"If you get up from the bottom players like us, don't take it lightly every moment. Because as long as you don't do a little well, the cheers and praises that belong to you will disappear overnight. So, be vigilant at all times, and be prepared at any time. Then, seize every opportunity, just like today."

After saying that, Stephen Jackson patted Link on the back and left.

Link stood there in a daze. 33-year-old Stephen Jackson didn't seem to be that fierce. Perhaps, as a low-level player, he understood the predicament of low-level players best.

"Link, what are you doing with a frown? Look, the reporters are here, don't look like you lose the ball when facing the camera." It was not until Randolph touched Link's head that Link came to his senses.

Yes, as the most shining star today, you can't face the camera with a frown.

Wait? Did Randolph touch my head again just now?

Link turned his head slowly, but saw Randolph's smug smile

Although the game in Charlotte was difficult, the overall ending was perfect. The Grizzlies players rested overnight in Charlotte that night. The next morning, they had to continue their away trip. The next stop was Detroit, and after a day off in Detroit on the 12th, they would start another game at Auburn Hills Palace Stadium on the 13th.

When he was in the hotel room that night, Tony Allen looked in a good mood. He talked to Link a lot, including basketball courts and life.

"It would be great if everyone on the Grizzlies worked as hard as you." As the chat was over, Tony Allen suddenly sighed.

"Ah? Isn't it good for us to do this now?"

"Tsk, that's just an appearance. To be honest, this team is not cohesive enough. Some people just want to make ends meet. Some people are like serving the Grizzlies wholeheartedly. But when these two people are mixed together, they don't have much attack power. To be honest, when you came, I was worried that you were just here to mix together. But thankfully, you belong to the latter."

Tony Allen looked at Link. This tough guy rarely expressed his feelings to others unless he fully recognized you.

"I'm actually very dissatisfied with those guys who come to live, but here is NBA, so many things must be hidden. Okay, let's not talk about it. It's still late, go to bed quickly, and you have to catch a plane early tomorrow morning."

Tony Alan wanted to speak but stopped and turned off the light. Link knew that Tony Alan was a serious person, like this for games and life. Those who like him would think he was a good person, but those who don’t like him would think that this too serious guy was a bit annoying.

He didn't know who the guy Tony Allen said was "who made him dissatisfied", but Link hoped that the Grizzlies would not go wrong when the team finally avoided the sudden loss.

Link was not a Grizzlies fan before traveling, so he didn't know much about the details of the Grizzlies at that time. But in his impression, the Grizzlies during this period were quite chaotic.

The flight time from Charlotte to Detroit is not far, it can be reached in about an hour and ten minutes.

After all, Charlotte and Detroit are both in the east, and away games spanning the east and west are the ones that the players hate the most.

Since it was a short flight, I couldn't sleep for long, so someone suggested playing cards on the plane.

Most NBA players like gambling, such as Michael Jordan and Chris Paul, who are familiar to people, are even "big gamblers". They often organize card games, but most of them are small gambling.

The Grizzlies' cards are no exception. No one really wants to make much money through cards, just to pass the boring flight time.

Link has never been interested in gambling games since he was a child. As a Chinese, he doesn't even know how to play mahjong. In the past, he would rather sit by and play on his phone than go to learn mahjong when he went out to play. He was really not interested.

So, when teammates gathered to play cards, Link leaned against the window and listened to the music for a while. Everyone knew that Link was not good at this, so they didn't force him to participate.

The game lasted about half an hour, but for some reason, it seemed that it was a mess and ended up. O.j. Mayo smashed the card all over the floor, Tony Allen cursed, and then went to the bathroom.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Link hurriedly took off his headphones. Tony Allen is a serious person. Even if he was playing cards, Tony Allen must be very serious. Mayo always looks careless. Whether these two types of people are playing games or big names, they are probably not right.

At this time, Tony Allen walked out of the toilet. He walked to Mayo and chattered, saying something like: "Remember to withdraw money after getting off the plane. If you lose, you will lose."

Tony Allen said last night that he didn't like some people on the Grizzlies, and it seems that Mayo is in the category of "some people".

"The fucking enough, how much money is there!? Will I not give it to you??" Mayo pushed Tony Allen hard, and Link frowned. These two guys are not the case, right?

"Hey, Mayo, calm down!" Randolph scolded Mayo, and Tony Allen smiled and spread his hands out, ready to walk away from Mayo.

Tony Allen's weakness should be for the team's consideration, but in Mayo's opinion, he seemed to feel that he was intimidating the big brother. So, when Tony Allen thought the matter was over, Mayo was still chattering.

"Do you think you are very powerful, ah? I will give you ten times the gambling debt after getting off the plane! After all, my rookie contract will have a higher annual salary than you, bastard!"

As soon as Mayo finished squirting this sentence, Tony Allen stopped.

"Damn!" Link stood up immediately, but it was too late.

Tony Allen turned around and punched Mayo. Suddenly, all the onlookers rushed over, trying to separate the two.

Link was also sandwiched in the middle. Hollins and other coaching staff members rushed over immediately after hearing the movement. Several big men were twisted together in an instant, and the team's chartered flight turned into a fight scene.
