Link was named an All-Star starter, which undoubtedly caused an uproar. Of course, since it is the fans themselves who vote, this is also expected.

Root. Wallace began his NBA career with the Washington Bullets in '96 and didn't become the first and so far undrafted All-Star starter until he became an All-Star in 2003.

Wallace has been on this road for 7 years.

And Link went from being undrafted to an All-Star starter in just two years!

Not to mention losing the draft, even if it is a lottery rookie, it is not a general person who can make it to the All-Star starting lineup in two years.

Durant is awesome, right? But he wasn't named to the All-Star team until the third year of his career, and he didn't become an All-Star starter until the fourth. Who are the All-Star starters in the second year of their careers? That superficially honest man in San Antonio, Tim. Smile cutely. Duncan, Los Angeles paranoid Kobe Bryant. Bryant, known as the "Chosen One" LeBron. James......

Those who were selected as All-Star starters in the second year are all such gods!

Even Derek. Rose, also in his MVP season, was named to the All-Star starting lineup.

When Link's name is taken and placed alongside great players such as Duncan, Kobe, James, etc., it naturally causes a lot of discussion.

Jeff. Austin is happy now, and the all-star voting has undoubtedly made Link's popularity and commercial value skyrocket.

When a player sparks discussion among fans all over the world, his commercial value is immeasurable.

However, Link himself is not very interested in that record and data, what is the first All-Star starter in the history of the Grizzlies, what is the second player in NBA history to become an All-Star starter from the draft, and what can be an All-Star starter in the second year of his career, Link doesn't care about any of them.

Because he knows very well that these records of the present are false. Tyrek. Evans averaged 20+5+5 per game in his rookie season, and people said he was a once-in-a-decade super rookie, but the result?

Griffin averaged a double-double in his rookie season last season, and people say that only epic interior players like O'Neal and Duncan can play this statistic in their rookie season. The result? This season, Griffin will not have to be drafted to grab an All-Star starter. And Link knows very well that Griffin will not become an epic monster like Duncan and O'Neal in the future.

Look up at the stars, but also keep your feet on the ground. Therefore, no matter how the outside world blows, Link does not float. If it floats, it has to fall.

While the outside world is touting Link, Link is seriously preparing for tonight's game. Didn't let your guard down because he was selected as an All-Star starter.

Elston. Turner couldn't be happier with that. Perhaps, that's one of the reasons why that kid was successful.

Sure enough, in the night game against the Warriors, the Grizzlies didn't play as easily as they did in the last game against the Kings.

Although the Warriors have only a 5-10 record so far this season, they have won a 5-10 record in the Warriors. Jackson's leadership is the most powerful team in the West.

Stephen. Curry and Monta. Ellis was still fighting for a shot, and Clay on the bench. Thompson isn't quite formed yet, either. But this team is extremely talented, and today it pushed the Grizzlies into a corner.

In the final moments, it was Randolph's strong basket that laid the Grizzlies the victory, taking a four-point lead that decided the victory.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Golden State Warriors 94-90 on the road, with Link 23 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and Randolph 20 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist. The Grizzlies won away from home, but in this game, the Warriors brought huge problems to the Grizzlies, which made the Grizzlies players consume a lot one by one.

After the game, the most asked questions by reporters were what Link thought of being selected as an All-Star starter.

Link's answer, which is the same every time, "I just want to focus on the game in the moment, and the All-Star Game is still early." ”

The packed schedule and tough opponents overwhelmed Link, and he didn't have the heart to think about All-Star events.

Sure enough, the next day in Portland, the Grizzlies finally collapsed overwhelmed.

The Trail Blazers have officially entered the post-Roy Oden era, with Aldridge being pushed to the heart and playing well this season.

The stout Randolph is very disadvantaged in defending this projection type of number four, because he can't reach the ball! If Aldri doesn't go toe-to-toe with you, he shoots you to death.

What's more, Randolph is still extremely tired today, and the defensive end is not as powerful as before.

Back-to-back matches in a dense schedule, no matter who comes, you have to be tired half to death.

As a result, Aldrie shot 61.5% from the field and scored 23 points to put it mildly.

The exhausted Grizzlies played badly today, and no player in the starting five shot more than 40% from the field except for Link!

Randolph was 1-of-6 from the field and shot 16.7 percent from the field, while Conley was 3-of-13 from the field and shot just 23.1 percent. Guy's 33 percent and Gasol Jr.'s 28.6 percent are also very spicy.

Three games in four consecutive days seem to have squeezed the last trace of physical strength out of the Grizzlies. After the game, Hollins also admitted frankly, "The Trail Blazers are very good, they have every strength to win." But the too dense schedule still affected our performance to some extent. ”

The Grizzlies' seven-game winning streak was ended, and talk about Link becoming an All-Star starter was dwindling day by day.

Sometimes, the heat is a gust of wind. If you're complacent, you're really losing.

Although the game against the Trail Blazers is over, the Grizzlies players can't rest on their laurels just yet. Because tomorrow they're going to fly to Los Angeles non-stop. The day after tomorrow, the Grizzlies will meet the Clippers for the first time this season.

Blake. Griffin, Los Angeles Clippers, and angry Clippers fans...... Link leaned into the locker tiredly, why every time he went to Staples, nothing good happened.

This time, I went to Los Angeles as an All-Star starter, but I was going to enjoy a real All-Star level defensive treatment.

※※※

Just as the Grizzlies lost to the Trail Blazers and their seven-game winning streak was ended. Chris who missed most of the game for most of the month. Paul is finally back from injury in the Los Angeles derby between the Clippers and the Lakers. Although Paul really wants to join the Lakers this offseason, he and Kobe Bryant have also established a good relationship.

But Wade once said, "On the basketball court, Paul doesn't treat anyone as a friend." ”

As a result, the Lakers and Clippers really fought a derby battle. However, Paul was not in good shape due to the fact that he had just returned from injury, scoring only 4 points on 2-of-8 shooting in the game, but he handed out 14 assists. Blake. Griffin's 26 points and 9 rebounds can be regarded as overwhelming.

However, the final result of the game was not satisfactory to the Clippers players, because the Clippers ended up losing to the Lakers by 5 points. Bryant's 24 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds still looks a bit like Link.

As soon as the game ended, Paul and Griffin walked into the tunnel disappointed and did not give interviews to reporters.

No one knows where they came from, but after the game, Clippers reporter John Brown. Buha broke the news, "Paul and Griffin went to the training gym as soon as the game was over, trying to find better form. I asked Blake what he was going to do next, and Griffin replied simply. ”

"I'm going to hold on to this last line and defend my home turf."

When a game is given meaning more than just the game itself, then this basketball game may be more intense than fighting!

The bonus of the All-Star starter has not been enjoyed, but after becoming an All-Star, Link has encountered a lot of drawbacks.

Griffin has plenty of "ammunition" ready and waits for Link, who has stolen his starting position, to come and challenge!
