A photo of Link and Randolph posing with the children at the orphanage was placed on the front page of the Grizzlies' official website.

There is no doubt that the biggest concern for the Grizzlies right now is the team's image. So, they are also doing their best to save.

However, a team's image cannot be maintained solely by off-the-field events. The best way to really make fans fall in love with a team is to win!

But lately, the Grizzlies have been pretty average when it comes to winning.

In Mayo's first two games after being suspended, it was discovered that Link replaced the once-proud son of the sky as the Grizzlies' starting No. 2 spot. On the 16th and 18th, the Grizzlies faced the Mavericks and Bulls, respectively, and only achieved a 1-1 record.

Against the Dallas Mavericks, Link played decently. With Guy and Randolph taking the majority of the shots, Link had 15 points, six rebounds and five assists. In the end, due to Nowitzki's injury retreat, the Grizzlies also easily took out the Mavericks.

Link remembers that this year's championship was the Dallas Mavericks. And arguably, the Mavericks are one of the most unpopular championships in history.

After all, this year, the Lakers have not completely declined, the Thunder are rising, and the Spurs are still strong. Moreover, the East has just formed the Miami Triumvirate. It stands to reason that with only one Nowitzki calf, there is no hope of winning the championship.

However, they just magically won the championship. Nowitzki also got rid of the infamy of "soft egg" in one fell swoop with this year's championship, and greatly improved his historical status in the NBA.

But now that he is fighting the Mavericks, Link really doesn't feel that this is a team with the ability to win championships. Maybe it's because the current Mavericks aren't fighting hard enough, and Nowitzki is out injured.

89-70, a low-scoring game, the Grizzlies easily took out the Mavericks and celebrated a three-game winning streak.

The battle with the Mavericks made Memphis fans cheer. After all, the victory proved that Mayo's absence had no impact on the team at all. Link, although not as entertaining as Mayo, is more efficient.

In some ways, Link is even better than Mayo.

However, it didn't take long for Memphis fans to rejoice when the Grizzlies lost. And the loss of this game also put Link on the cusp.

On January 18, after the Dallas Mavericks, the Grizzlies faced the challenge of the Chicago Bulls at home.

At this time, the Bulls were in full swing, and it was this season that Rose won the title of youngest regular season MVP. In the East, the Bulls are also considered to be the only team other than the Celtics to compete with the Heat.

Today, the Bulls showed their formidable prowess at the Federal Express Arena.

Derek. Rose used unreasonable shocks again and again to create kills, causing Gasol Jr. to fall into foul trouble early.

So, Lionel. Hollins had to increase Tabitt's playing time. But as soon as Tabit came up, it was basically a big colander.

It's okay for him to stand under the basket, but once he's fished out, he's basically useless. The guy was moving too slowly, and he didn't have any defensive ability at all. Encountering the lightning-fast Rose, Tabit couldn't even catch the shadow of others.

In addition to Rose, "British Jordan" Lore. Deng also embarrassed Guy today.

The Englishman used his excellent running skills and solid shooting to score points on Guy's head. In addition to the offense, Lore. Deng also caused huge problems for Guy on the defensive end.

Originally, Lore. Deng is a defensive stalwart, and his height and reach are not at a loss compared to Guy. Guy, who was too impatient, simply sacrificed a 1-of-10 today, and only scored 9 points in the game, and ended the game in a hurry. If he hadn't made 10 free throws today, he wouldn't have scored nine points.

Ross and Lore. Deng put Randolph and Guy in a difficult situation, respectively, and the last straw that crushed the grizzly bear was the harmless-looking white shooter Korver.

Link is the opposite of Korver, who is a substitute on the surface, but he is actually the real starter for the Bulls. Because, he played more minutes than Keith, who started the game. Bogans is much longer.

This white shooter Link is very familiar, he shot from three-point range during the Hawks period, and after going to the Cavaliers, he also followed James to win a lot of attention. As long as you are a fan who watches football regularly, you will not be unfamiliar with him.

So today, Link is desperately close to the defense. He knew that Korver's skill was to shoot three-pointers, and as long as he contained this guy's three-point shot, it was equivalent to containing the Bulls' No. 2 position.

However, Korver's hand today was just too rebellious. Link has been blocked in Korver's face several times, but this guy just can shoot the ball!

Sometimes, some players do have this kind of magic when they can score no matter how much they interfere. And today, this kind of bad luck happened to be encountered by Link.

In the end, Korver shot 60% of his three-point shots! He shot 10 times from beyond the three-point line and hit 6 shots! And Link can assure that four of the six goals scored by Korver have actually been very well blocked.

But it can't be helped, who let Link catch up? Korver came off the bench to score 22 points, knocking Link into scum with just 13 points, four rebounds and four assists. The Bulls are not only good offensively, but also tightly defended under Thibodeau's tutelage. And, there's a lot of focus on team defense.

Link doesn't suffer a loss when he singles Korver, but once he breaks through, he will always be met with a help defense. So today, Link didn't play much brightly either.

With Randolph, Guy, and Link all suppressed, the Bulls staged a bloody massacre at FedEx Arena.

96-84, the Bulls defeated the Grizzlies by 12 points, ending the Grizzlies' three-game winning streak. And this game also made Link questioned after the game.

He actually allowed Korver to score 22 points, and he only scored 13. There is no doubt that he is not suitable to play the starting number two at all. Coach Hollins should consider getting Tony. Aaron is right to start! ”

"If it's Tony. Allen defended Korver, and he couldn't have scored that many points. ”

"Link has been magical for more than a month, and it's time to calm down. I have to say that he is indeed a qualified NBA player, but if the Grizzlies use him as a star player, it is a little inappropriate. ”

The next day in the training gym, Tony. Seeing that Link was watching the news criticizing him, Allen snatched Link's phone.

"Come on, don't listen to the nonsense of the media. Now that we are on the cusp, the media likes to follow the trend the most. ”

Link looked at Tony. Aaron, indeed, is a little depressed.

If his strength is not good, it would be fine, but yesterday's defense was so good that Korver scored a high score, and Link was really unconvinced.

"Sometimes it's just such a fuck game, and when I try my best to defend and Kobe Bryant still scores more than 30 points, I'm frustrated. Usually at times like this, there are a lot of reports that question me. But do you know what I'm going to do? Mr. Tony simply sat down next to Link.

Link shook his head, "What would you do?" ”

"I will memorize all these sentences that scold me in my head, but not under their influence, but with anger in my heart, and then the next one will silence all of them! In the last two games, our opponents were the Hornets and the Rockets. Both teams are direct rivals on our playoff path. And Rocket, and you're still a little unpleasant. "Say, Tony. Aaron smiled.

"So, keep your depression in your heart. In the next two games, let them see if you are qualified to play as a starter! By the way, you can also improve the team's ranking. "Patted Link on the shoulder, Tony. Aaron got up and left. He's said everything he needs to say, it's up to Link to digest it.

Link looked at the schedule on the wall of the training hall, and it was true that the last two games were very important for the Grizzlies and for himself.

Playing the Hornets will directly determine whether the Grizzlies can climb to eighth place in the West. Although it is only temporary, being able to enter the playoff threshold early can also reassure Link sooner.

As for the rockets after the Wasp...... Link clenched his fists. Seriously, he's not a generous person. Although in the game against the Vipers, Link scored a development league record 52 points. But that, after all, is the Viper of the match, not the rocket itself.

This time, I met the deity and met my old club. Whatever you say, you have to thank Team Rocket for its "cultivation".
