Does Link think breaking the 72-win record is as easy as beating the Thunder? He's just a megalomaniac. ”

"I have no doubt about the Grizzlies' ability, but I doubt the Grizzlies' physical reserves. If they give their all during the regular season, what are they going to do to the Western Conference Finals? ”

"If I were Link, I wouldn't have spoken so hard. The NBA wasn't his playground, and now that he's saying that, everyone wants to stop him. ”

After Link participated in the show, it really caused a heated discussion among the media and fans.

People often show doubts and confusion about things outside of their abilities and cognition, and this confusion and confusion can eventually turn into hostility.

There is no doubt that winning no less than 20 of the remaining 25 games of the regular season is something that most people can and know.

As a result, people began to question whether Link was too arrogant. Although the Grizzlies have only lost five of their 57 games, it is not easy to win at least 20 of their 25 games.

In the final stages of the regular season, teams begin to sprint. Historically, teams that have been close to 70 wins in the regular season have also lost more times after the All-Star break.

During this period, the strong teams want to preserve their vitality for the playoffs. And those teams that are eager to climb the ladder will want to increase their wins at any cost.

In such a situation, it will be easier than ever to see the weak prevailing over the strong.

Of course, there are still a lot of people who support Link, their All-Star voters, their saviors of the slam dunk contest.

But Link, as a highly controversial superstar, has always been as many people as they love him. So, the number of people waiting to see Link's jokes instantly increased.

Among them, even Bill, who has just recovered from the women's clothing incident. Simmons.

"I know you're still laughing at my black dress look at the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. But go with it, my wife and I are used to that goddamn look anyway. It's been a long time since I've commented on Link's rhetoric, but I have to say this time that I can't think of any team that can lose just 10 games a season! Even if you get MJ back to 1996, he's going to have a hard time giving you a 72-win miracle. Let's see, Link won't succeed, he's as conceited as Wilt was decades ago. Chamberlain! You don't believe me? Okay, first of all, Link has to face a problem - how to solve the problem of over-pressure on his teammates! ”

Bill. Simmons, despite his nasty mouth, is a writer who understands basketball and the NBA very well.

He said in the article that Link's public statement on the show that he wants to win 72 wins and win the championship will invisibly put a lot of pressure on his teammates.

Link may be able to withstand that pressure, but not everyone on the Grizzlies is Link. If Link's teammates are overwhelmed, Link's plans will be ruined. After all, Link couldn't have won 72 on his own.

Link took a closer look at Bill. Simmons' article, and even made notes on it. Then, he put down the newspaper and turned his head to look at the "big black bear" Randolph.

"Zach, are you stressed?"

"Don't make me laugh, Link." Randolph, who was changing clothes, waved his hand nonchalantly, he had survived the time that almost ruined his life in Portland and New York, and now he was comfortable in Memphis as the darling of the people, what pressure could there be?

"What about you, Tony? Are you stressed? Link smiled and turned to Tony again. Alan.

"You idiot, you've been demonized by Simmons." Tony. Allen gave Link a blank look, he was a defensive demon wearing two championship rings from the Celtics and the Grizzlies, what kind of wind and waves he hadn't seen?

Those are two championship rings, the great LeBron. James only had one until now. Tony. Aaron's credo is to fight to the last breath, and pressure is the excuse for the weak.

Link then walked over to Jimmy. Butler and Tobias. Harris was in front of the two young men, "What about you?" Before the playoffs begin, we're going to be met with malicious resistance from other teams. ”

"That's the best, hehe. I mean...... We'll do our best, Link! "Butler and Harris want to play more so they can get more playing time.

"Oh yes, look at you guys. As a result, the famous Bill. Isn't Simmons going to be disappointed again? Link shrugged and crumpled Simmons' article into waste paper and threw it in the trash.

Unlike other teams, the players here weren't high-profile talents, and the team wasn't one of the biggest names in history.

They're not Lakers, they're not Celtics, they're nothing. They're just the Memphis Grizzlies, trying to make their way in the league.

As a result, the Grizzlies players are less pretentious. They don't get stressed by the heat of the fight, they get excited. They know very well how this "patchwork" team became the champion.

Pressure? That's for those who carry the heavy load. And the Grizzlies, from the team to the players, have nothing!

Link knew what was different about the Grizzlies, so he dared to openly say on the show that he wanted to win 72 wins and win the championship together. He knew that it wouldn't stress the Grizzlies, but it would make everyone feel energized!

And just like that, amid a wave of skepticism, the Grizzlies began their final one-and-a-half-month regular season journey.

On March 2, after participating in the show, the Cleveland Cavaliers were the first to grasp the Grizzlies' burning desire to win.

In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies beat the Cavaliers 33-15! The Grizzlies are all soldiers, and everyone comes out and plays with all their hearts.

The slackness and exhaustion that people thought were gone, and all that appeared in front of the fans was a team full of energy defending champions.

How exhilarating were the Grizzlies in this game? In addition to Link, there were three players on the team who scored 20 points and five players who scored in double figures.

The Grizzlies have a strong desire to attack everybody, making Kelly. Irving's efficient 28 points turned into an empty cut. In the end, the Cavaliers also lost by 15 points.

After the game, people said that the knights themselves were not strong and were really vulnerable. This game does not have any reference value.

But soon, the same thing happened to the Washington Wizards.

"Jimmy. Butler broke through and calmly split the ball in front of the bag, and he sent the ball to Nick. In Yang's hands! Yang pressed the whistle with a three-point shot...... Entered! Hit a three-point shot from the buzzer, Nick. Once again, Young showed his unrivaled shooting touch. 40 points, 40 points in a single quarter! The Grizzlies scored 40 points in the first quarter of the game, setting a record for the third-highest single-quarter scoring in their franchise history! ”

At Verizon Center, the pot-bellied, bald narrator cheers for the grizzlies with all his might.

After continuing the last game against the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies staged a 40-point violent act in Washington, D.C. Nick. Young raced across the court as if he had already celebrated the victory three quarters in advance.

Link sat on the bench and applauded silently. He's right, the Grizzlies look like they did it all.

Who says you have to fight hard to get 72 wins?

With 40 points in a single quarter, the Grizzlies beat the Wizards to autism in the first quarter. In the next three quarters, Link didn't shoot much, and after scoring 21 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds lightly, he went off the court to rest.

In the end, the Wizards suffered a 14-point loss at home, and the longest six-game winning streak of the season was also ended by the Grizzlies.

After the game, Wall, who had 23 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, shook his head vigorously, "Seriously, the Grizzlies have all the ingredients to break the 72-win record, I know it's crazy, but you know what's going on when you play against them." ”

For the first time, a star has publicly stated that the Grizzlies can break or tie the 72-win record.

At the start of March, the Grizzlies showed their furious form with a two-game winning streak.

Grizzly bears are scary enough, but it's not impossible to survive in the jungle. But if you're meeting a hungry grizzly bear, that's a different story.

Now, those who are hungry for the Grizzlies to fail can instead put their hopes on the Eastern team.

In mid-March, the Grizzlies will face a back-to-back away game! And these two opponents are the Indiana Pacers, who are first in the East, and the Miami Heat, who are second in the East!

This round of back-to-back games instantly became the only hope and spiritual pillar for people to break the Grizzlies' 72-win plan.
