1月13日,孟菲斯灰熊在底特律奥本山宫殿体育场与活塞打了一场.

对于底特律活塞,林克并不算陌生.毕竟当初他在火箭队时,打的第一个对手就是底特律活塞.

说起来,林克都快忘了自己还曾为休斯敦火箭效力.

There is no suspense in this game today. After experiencing the last downturn, the Grizzlies finally showed their strength today. Randolph was in the Pistons' interior. Not only did he make 10 of 17 shots, he also won 17 opportunities to stand on the free throw line and hit 14 of them.

全场轰下34分17个篮板的兰多夫,就仿佛是一头挡也挡不住的野兽.他本赛季已经是第五次砍下30+得分了,这家伙仿佛比年轻时更具威力.

而鲁迪.盖伊的表现比起上一场也好了许多,他裹着肩膀上厚厚的护具,打出了一场效率颇高的比赛.

全场比赛盖伊出手13次,就命中了其中的10球.盖伊拿下了26分,无疑是让活塞雪上加霜.

Since Guy and Randolph both performed well, Link had few opportunities today. 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists were the report card that Link gave today. Although it was not astonishing as the 28 points in the previous game. Overall, he still completed his mission well.

活塞那边,今天最耀眼一点就是麦迪了.麦迪今天出场36分钟,乃赛季新高.在36分钟的时间里,麦迪11投6中斩获16分,算是活塞球迷们唯一的安慰.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Pistons 107-99 away and successfully won two consecutive victories. The entire game was controlled by the Grizzlies, and the offensives of Randolph and Guy made the Pistons breathless. Overall, there was nothing worth talking about in this game.

所以,今天比赛中,奥本山宫殿体育场的解说员们聊得最多的一个问题就是:“o.j.梅奥今天为什么没有出场?”

In this game, Mayo wore a suit and sat on the bench all night. Tony Allen appeared in a substitute, and there was no place for Mayo at the bench. No media in the league knew why, and no news of Mayo's injury was received during this period.

After the game, many of the Grizzlies players were interviewed by reporters. But the reporters basically asked about the game, their question was just one: "What happened to Mayo?"

林克作为现在灰熊队阵中颇有存在感的一员,自然也受到了记者们的采访.

Before the game started, Hollins told everyone that Mayo and Tony Allen would not be revealed to the media for fighting on the plane. He knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, but it would never be the Grizzlies players themselves.

林克牢记着霍林斯的嘱咐,所以在媒体面前装傻,“我不知道发生了什么,这是主教练的决定.”

However, the media with great powers did not give up pursuing the truth. After Link and the others returned to the locker room, Yahoo Sports revealed an explosive news that Mayo and Tony Allen fought on the plane for the card game!

“该死的,动作真快!”霍林斯捂住了额头,仿佛今天输了球的是灰熊似的.

Hollins had known for a long time that even if the Grizzlies were not told, this matter would still be exposed. After all, there were many crew members on the plane at that time. They were not part of the Grizzlies. If a reporter was willing to spend money to buy news from them, they would naturally be very happy to share what they saw and heard.

只是他没想到,这件事会这么快就被发掘出来.

发生打架事件,对球队而言肯定是百害而无一益的.这个新闻肯定会连续好几天占据体育网站和报纸的头版头条,球员们也会被这件事搅得焦头烂额.

Don’t underestimate the impact of the off-court incident on the team. Arenas’s “gun goal” almost destroyed the Wizards and Arenas himself. The discord between Kobe and O’Neal also indirectly led to the defeat of the “Lakers F4” in front of the O’Brien Cup.

When the atmosphere of a team starts to collapse from the inside, can you still expect how strong the team is? After the victory of this game, the Grizzlies finally had a record equal to the Hornets. If any mistakes occur, they will be thrown out of the top eight again.

不过现在,事情已经发生,霍林斯也没有太好的办法.他唯一能做的,就是补救.

“今天的胜利值得庆祝,但昨天在飞机上发生的一切,是我们的耻辱!”

霍林斯在灰熊还是很有威信的,当他大吼的时候,没有让站出来反驳.

这主要也是因为有兰多夫等老大哥压场子,不然,梅奥真指不定会站出来和霍林斯叫板.

"My decision will not change. In the future, playing cards will be prohibited on the plane. Mayo, the team still implements the decision to ban you for five games. After all, it is your first move. Everyone is a teammate, and you shouldn't be so impulsive."

In this matter, the Grizzlies are actually more focused on Tony Allen. First, Mayo is indeed the first to take action. Second, Mayo's negative attitude has long made the Grizzlies very dissatisfied. Tony Allen has been working diligently in the Grizzlies and has a more harmonious relationship with his teammates. Third, this is not the first time Mayo has fought with his teammates.

As early as a rookie, Mayo had a conflict with now retired Dalius Myers and fought. Mayo has had a criminal record.

听到自己的处罚后,梅奥本想说什么,但被兰多夫瞪了一眼后,便又没再说话.

"Tony, you have something wrong. Just playing a card, why bother being so serious? The team decided to fine you $5,000, so pay more attention in the future." Although they tend toward Tony Allen, the team cannot completely punish him.

为了让梅奥稍稍平衡些,球队也给予了托尼.阿伦罚款的惩罚.

Tony Allen nodded in agreement. He didn't want to make things worse. If he was wrong, he had to accept punishment. This matter was that simple.

"Okay, let's stop this. Don't tell the reporters about this matter in the future, the team will speak. Let this matter pass, and I don't want this to happen again in the future. Finally, you did a good job today, and we can take victory home."

Hollins walked out of the locker room in distress, leaving only the players looking at each other. Just as the locker room was so quiet that it was awkward, Tony Allen stood up, walked to Mayo, and then stretched out his right hand.

"It's over, right?" Tony Allen didn't want the team to be affected by this incident. After all, the team is in the critical stage of the playoffs. So, he took the initiative to put down his stance and show goodwill with Mayo.

"Yeah." Mayo patted Tony. Allen's right hand without even holding it. It can be seen that it was obviously emotional.

"Okay, OK, that's it. This season is still very long, why do we have to keep working hard?" Randolph immediately came out to smooth things over. This was the first time Link felt that it was really good that the team could hold people in the locker room.

That's it, the Grizzlies ended their Detroit night. Tomorrow, they will return to their Memphis and return to their sweet home court to prepare for the game that follows.

Before Link came over, he had heard about Mayo and Tony Allen fighting, but he didn't expect it to be this time. He didn't expect that he would actually participate in it personally.

Link just hopes that this matter will not have much impact. The Grizzlies finally improved a little, and it would be a pity if the performance was affected by off-court factors.

※※※

After returning to Memphis, Link could see the news that Mayo and Tony Allen fought on the plane by just flipping through his mobile phone and newspaper.

He had to admire the reporters' ability to dig out news, because the incidents that were eventually reported were basically the same as the actual process of the incident.

When he was a fan, Link questioned the authenticity of the reporter's report. But now, this is the first time he has realized the excellence of the reporters. Their sources of information are too many, and the players can't avoid the leak by keeping their mouths tight.

One thing Link cares more about now is whether he has the chance to play after Mayo is suspended.

Although Hill is in the third position, he also plays in the third position when he is in the NCAA. But Hollins has proved more than once that there is no problem with Link playing the second position.

This is not because Link wants to take advantage of others, but if he really has the chance to fight, he will be happy to accept it.

Link shook his head, and he would do his best whether it was playing or playing as a substitute. Just as Link was about to go to practice, he received a call from Randolph.

"Zach? What's wrong?"

"Have you heard of it?"

"What? What did you hear?"

"It's Mayo, something happened to him again. This time, it's probably because the league has to suspend him."

Randolph's voice was full of anxiety, and the big brother of the team was worried.

"What's the matter?" Link was also shocked. He thought Mayo and Tony Allen had a fight again.
Chapter completed!
