Western Conference Player of the Month, it seems, the gold content of this honor does not seem to be particularly high. After all, there are 6 chances to be the Player of the Month in a season. And the chance to be the MVP or be named to the All-Star team is only once a season.

But it's such an award that doesn't seem like a big deal, and no player has won it before Randolph.

Sean. Battier has not been named the best player of the month in his career, and a little back to the Vancouver Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' first real star Sherif Sherif Brown has never been the best player in the Vancouver era. Abdul Rahim has never won such an honor as Player of the Month. Paul. Gasol did win the Western Conference Player of the Month once, but at that time Gasol was already a member of the Purple and Gold.

So, the previous season, Zach. Not only did Randolph win his first career Honor of the Month, but he was also the first Grizzlies player to do so.

After all, there are too many "monsters" in the west, and it is not easy to stand out among so many birds and beasts. Don't look at the six chances in a season, it seems like a lot. But in the NBA, where there are more masters on all walks of life, this opportunity is completely insufficient.

Moreover, the Grizzlies have always been a team that has not had any big stars.

It took 16 years for the team to usher in its first Player of the Month in franchise history, and the Grizzlies are really struggling in that regard.

But now, just a year later, the second Grizzlies player of the month is here.

As the media predicted, Link will lead the Memphis Grizzlies to do a lot of things they have never done before. Link's appearance has made the Grizzlies progress several times faster than before.

"Deservedly, Link also led the Grizzlies to an extremely outstanding record despite playing very well in personal data. At least for November, he's the best player in the West. ”

"In head-to-head battles with the likes of James, Durant, Anthony and Kobe, Link has won all of them. So, he took the best of the month, and I don't think anyone would think it was wrong. ”

"Link and the Grizzlies have hit a highway this season, and trust me, they're going to set more records for the rest of the season."

Randolph looked at the news related to Link on his phone, and sighed earnestly, "Hey, I finally have a successor, and I didn't waste my good intentions." ”

"Poof!" Link, who was changing his jersey on the side, almost choked to death by Gatorade, and the shamelessness of the big black bear is increasing day by day! Someone has come up with it!

"Good intentions? What are you trying to do? Is he well-intentioned about his girlfriend's affairs? "Tony on the side. Aaron can't stand it anymore, and Randolph's most active thing every day is to guess if Rachel and Link have a leg.

"It's like you're staying with me every day to practice. Speaking of which, you're about to give birth to a second son, and you don't plan to marry your girlfriend yet......" Link is a little confused about Lao Hei's concept, in their opinion, it is a routine operation for Mr. to get married after having children.

Many NBA stars are like this, and there are even those who don't plan to get married and have a bunch of children first, such as the man who once could replace James alone.

"Me? I'm not ready, I'm still young. ”

Link and Tony. Aaron gave Randolph his middle finger, and everyone laughed.

The Grizzlies' locker room atmosphere is very relaxed, after all, since the start of the season, the Grizzlies can be said to have been completely smooth. From team records to individual honors, it can be regarded as the best in history.

But soon, in San Antonio, the Grizzlies suffered their first blow since entering December.

On Dec. 2, in San Antonio, the Spurs played extra hard. It seems that in order to make Link's new best appearance of the month, Duncan and Parker are completely playing like a return to the past.

"French retro sports car" Parker had 30 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and "No. 21 rookie" Duncan had 27 points, 15 rebounds and a big double-double. The two guys exploded unexpectedly, allowing the Grizzlies to eventually lose the first game of December by four points.

99-95, the Spurs ended the Grizzlies' four-game winning streak at home.

When Stevens faced reporters after the game, he shook his head vigorously, which may have been the most embarrassing game he has played since he coached the Grizzlies.

After all, it's a shame to lose this game. Because the Grizzlies didn't play badly, the Spurs played too well, so good that they were beyond their normal state.

The Grizzlies also had five players in double figures today, with Link still having 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists under Leonard's death. In addition, Conley also dished out 18 points and 12 assists, and Randolph had 17 points and 12 rebounds......

Playing so well and still losing is the most uncomfortable.

"We've done well enough, and as long as we can keep it up like that, I'm sure we'll be able to get out of the dark sea of defeat soon." In the end, Stevens left only those words and regretfully turned around and left the ATT Center, ending his first showdown with Popovich.

Although the loss in this game was a great shame, it also reminded the Grizzlies players that it is not so easy to get a championship pennant in the West.

No matter how good your record is, don't feel like you're stable.

And Stevens also knows very well that if he can't find a solution to the Spurs in the regular season, trying to break out of the West will be like a dream.

However, despite the loss, the Grizzlies still rank first in the league with a 13-2 record.

It looks like this is an ordinary loss that any team would lose in the regular season, let alone a strong opponent like the Spurs.

But in the eyes of some, the Grizzlies' loss in this game is not so simple.

"I've never been an All-Star, but maybe, I can beat Player of the Month?"

This simple sentence appeared in the Eagles leading forward Josh. Smith on social media. Subsequently, it was frantically reprinted by the media and became popular on the Internet.

"Looks like you have a new enemy?" Sitting on the team bus to the airport, Randolph looked at his phone and stood and smiled disdainfully.

"Josh. Smith has always been a master trash talker, so don't bother with him. Every time I played with him, he could nag all night. Iguodala, who used to play for the 76ers and played against the Hawks four times a season, waved his hand. Smith's man.

Eagles center Al. Horford said in an interview, "Josh trash talked a little too much in the game." ”

Link didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the Grizzlies' opponent in the next game was the Hawks. And today, the Grizzlies just lost, and it is normal for opponents to take the opportunity to ridicule and affect their mentality.

It's the NBA, and the players are willing to do anything to win.

But thinking of this, Link still checked the Eagles' recent record. I don't know if I don't check, but I find out after a check. It's not for nothing that Smith has such a temper.

"Uh...... I don't think Josh was joking with me. Link pouted.

The Hawks currently have an 11-5 record and are third in the East! Second only to the Heat and the Knicks, two big favorites. And the Eagles have not lost since November 16, and now it is 7 wins in a row! Compared to the Grizzlies' nine-game winning streak at the start of the season, it is only two games less.

During this period, the Hawks even defeated the Clippers and Nuggets, two strong teams in the West. Joe. After Johnson left, the Eagles seemed to play even better.

Josh. Smith has never been selected as an All-Star and has been dubbed "the strongest player outside of an All-Star" by fans. Presumably, this season, Josh wants to take advantage of his opportunity to become the only offensive core and impact the All-Star team.

If you can beat Link, you will definitely be able to impress people.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and before Durant, Josh. Smith is already a little impatient and wants to challenge Link for Player of the Month.

Doesn't Link want to lose face? Losing to the old Deng Tou and the small sports car, that was my grudge with the Spurs, Duncan They can play so well, but also because the Spurs and Grizzlies have some historical problems.

After all, the Spurs have been eliminated by the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, and it is normal to be excited to meet the Grizzlies.

But what kind of fun are you a forward who plays in the East?

It's only been the best of the month, so it's okay to give some respect.

So Link was in Josh. Smith replied on social media, "What's your record for the most points you scored this season?" ”
