After April 16, the 13-14 NBA regular season is over.

In this year's regular season, the Memphis Grizzlies are undoubtedly the only protagonists. With 74 wins in a single season, they are not only the first in the league, but also the first in history!

The league-second Spurs have won a full 12 games less than the league-first Grizzlies for the first time ever.

When the Bulls won 72 games in 1996, they were only eight wins more than the league's second-largest SuperSonics.

What is the concept of a 12-win gap? This is equivalent to a gap from eighth in the West to second in the West.

Therefore, the Grizzlies are definitely the only protagonists of this year's regular season, and they are the only one. In the regular season, no team could match the Grizzlies.

Therefore, as soon as the regular season is over, people also say that the ownership of this season's MVP has lost its suspense.

Link won 70 games last season, but still lost to James and failed to become the MVP, which has caused a lot of controversy. This year, Link has "stepped up" to 74 wins, and it's impossible to give the MVP title to anyone else.

What's more, Link's personal data is no worse than James this season. Averaged 29 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game! Eight triple-doubles in a single season, 11th all-time. Two 50-point triple-doubles in a single season, the first in history!

Compared to last season's average of 26.9 points, 6.4 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game, there is a significant improvement! It would not be an exaggeration to say that Link is the most versatile player of this era!

Last season, Link lost to James, mainly because he was slightly inferior in stats. In addition, the influence that James has accumulated for more than ten years has somewhat influenced the vote.

But this year, in terms of influence, no one can compare to Link. In terms of statistics, James averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season, which is completely incomparable with Link. In terms of records, not to mention.

Link is not inferior even to Durant, who averaged 32 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season.

When it comes to Durant, Link's fans feel sorry. The only thing Link is inferior to Durant in terms of stats is scoring. However, Link's 29 points per game this season is not a low score. This data has been put in the past 3 years, and it is a proper scoring king! When Durant won the scoring title for the second time, he averaged 27.7 points per game.

It's a pity that this year, Link met Durant, who averaged 32 points per game, and could only regret passing by the scoring champion.

However, in addition to the scoring title, Link has had a pretty successful regular season this season. He's sure to be the MVP, and even Durant and James fans don't have any hope for it. This year's MVP is definitely Link's, and James and Durant are not close to each other.

The only suspense now is whether Link can become the first unanimous MVP in NBA history!

Even in Jordan's most dominant years, he never managed to be unanimously elected MVP. The closest thing to a unanimous MVP was O'Neal in 2000, when he was just one vote away from becoming the first player in NBA history to be unanimously elected MVP. But that vote was voted for by a reporter for Aaron. Iverson.

To this day, O'Neill still hasn't forgiven the reporter. After all, it was a small gesture by him that caused O'Neal to miss out on a great achievement in his career.

Therefore, it is not easy to get the unanimous MVP. What's more, it's still in the case that Link has so many multimedia enemies.

However, to almost seal the MVP title as soon as the regular season is over, Link is tough enough.

In the past few days, there has been an endless discussion about Link. There has been speculation about how many individual accolades Link will win this year. Of course, there is also discussion about whether the Grizzlies will become the "runner-up with 74 wins".

In previous seasons, before the playoffs began, people tended to talk about different stars.

But this year, Link seems to be the only protagonist before the playoffs, as if the other stars were foils.

However, on the training ground at the Federal Express Arena, everything was not so lively.

While the outside world is hotly discussed, every player in the Grizzlies is training for the Dallas Mavericks' style of play, as if others are talking about a team that has nothing to do with them.

No one dares to slack off, no one dares to slacken. Because as soon as someone is lazy, Link will send him a heads-up invitation.

Whether to go head-to-head with Link or work hard, almost all Grizzlies players have chosen the latter.

One of the most noticeable changes in Link this year's playoffs is that he's really strict!

"Della, you're leaking again! A few days from now, whether you're missing Calderon, Ellis or Devon. Harris, they're all going to make you pay! ”

"Jimmy, what are you doing? Do you want to be teased by old Carter again? ”

"Tobias, be tough, don't be afraid! What do you think of it in the playoffs, Dirk. Will Nowitzki humble you just because you're just a rookie!? ”

Link's yells are always heard in the training hall, and Dave. Jogger is now simply a "hands-off shopkeeper". Because even if he doesn't care, Link will push the players to train.

But it's also strange to say, just facing a Western eighth, why is Link so nervous?

The Grizzlies have had little trouble in the first round for the past two years. Judging from the form of the Mavericks the other day, they are not very strong. Because a grizzly bear who didn't do his best, he drove the calf to the edge of the cliff.

Perhaps, Link didn't want to see an accident happen.

No one knew why Link was so nervous, and he couldn't have said to anyone, "I saw the future."

But Link knows very well that if he doesn't want to waste too much time in the first round, he has to give his all in advance!

The Grizzlies won 74 in the regular season, which is truly remarkable. But the playoffs and the regular season are completely different concepts, and Link believes what Nowitzki said to him the other day, and he believes that the Mavericks can really burst out more power in the playoffs.

Playing the Mavericks in the first round is not without benefits. If they run into an opponent in the first round who deserves to give their all, then the Grizzlies will only get stronger and braver, and will only get into the groove faster than others.

Back then, the Spurs were almost invincible after the first round, and it can be said that the Mavericks pushed the Spurs to the limit.

Link also hopes that the Mavericks can push the Grizzlies to their limits, but tie-breaking seven? That's still free!

Before the playoffs began last year, Link also invited everyone to his house for a barbecue, fishing, and playing cards. But this year, during the two days between the regular season and the playoffs, the Grizzlies players spent almost all of their time in the training gym.

On April 19, the NBA playoffs officially began. But because the Grizzlies are No. 1 in the West, the Grizzlies didn't play on the first game day of the playoffs.

Today, the NBA has scheduled a total of 4 playoff openers, and the course of these 4 games is different, but one thing is very similar - the teams with higher rankings have overturned!

In the first game, the Raptors, who were third in the East, were beaten by the Nets, who were sixth in the East!

In the second game, the Trail Blazers, who finished sixth in the West, beat the Thunder through overtime! Lillard's equalizing shot in the last 1.2 seconds of regular time is even more regarded as a classic!

In the third game, the Hawks, who are eighth in the East, actually killed the high-profile Pacers by 8 points! Paul. George shot just 33 percent from the field, and he and his team are clearly still playing at the pace of the regular season.

In the fourth game, the Golden State Warriors, who are seventh in the West, used a 43% three-point shooting rate to kill the old Spurs!

As soon as the results of the first round came out, the whole world was shocked! On the first day of the playoffs, people experienced the uncertainty of the playoffs.

It's no accident that the four higher-ranked teams all rolled over!

Looking at the speechless results of the first day of the playoffs, Link was not worried.

He is glad that he and his team are ready for the playoffs. He had long expected this to be the case in the playoffs, so he took the lead in taking precautions!

He knows that the regular season record can't determine the win or loss in the playoffs, so he has always taken the Mavericks seriously. Link believes the Grizzlies will never drop their chains in the playoffs.

Now, the Dallas natives are certainly getting confident, and they certainly feel like they can make the higher-ranked Grizzlies pay the price. If the other four teams can do it, so can they!

But long before the game began, Link killed that possibility. What Link hates the most is being defeated by the weak.
