There is still a month and a half before the start of the slam dunk contest, and people don't even know who the other three people who participated in the dunk contest are.

But even so, the popularity of the slam dunk contest has remained high.

What kind of slam dunk performance will Link give you? Does he have a chance to win both the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest?

All these puzzles have excited the fans.

Of course, Bill. Simmons has been quite depressed for the past two days. He has always been open-mouthed, but he has been unexpectedly quiet these days.

He knew that he was really big this time. During this time, it is better for him to be silent and golden, and stop digging a hole for himself.

And what about Link? He wasn't distracted by the slam dunk contest.

Many people participate in a slam dunk contest and have to rehearse a series of creative performances.

Like Griffin's flying cars, like George's fluorescent dunks.

But Link didn't do anything about it, and when Joggle asked Link what he thought about this year's slam dunk contest, Link just shrugged his shoulders.

"Just dunk, you don't have to mess with all the bells and whistles."

Link knows that all this kind of performance can only add points to the dunk. But in the end, it was the dunk itself that amazed the fans.

Therefore, Link does not intend to engage in any bells and whistles and so-called creativity. He just wants to perform a few difficult dunks in the slam dunk contest, and that's enough.

Let the dunk contest return to dunk, that's what Link thinks.

Until then, Link has put all his focus on the game.

The dunk contest is just the seasoning, and the regular season that is currently underway is the real main course.

After defeating the Rockets, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets and the Bulls, respectively, to make it four wins in a row since the Christmas War.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a perfect end to 2013.

In the summer of 2013, the Grizzlies changed history and stood on top of the world.

Now, with a terrible record of 28 wins and 2 losses, he is proud of the league. Link believes that the Grizzlies will be able to do another great job next summer.

When the Grizzlies entered 2014 with a terrible 28-2 record, pundits from all walks of life began to be uneasy.

The regular season starts at the end of October and is now played at the end of December. Out of 30 games, only 2 were lost. Such efficiency reminds people of the Chicago Bulls in 1996.

"The Chicago Bulls finished the 72-10 season, and they ended 1995 with three losses. The Memphis Grizzlies ended 2013 with only two losses. That said, as it stands, the Grizzlies have an even better record than the 1996 Bulls! ”

"Last season, the Grizzlies won an unprecedented 70 wins. In fact, they are just two games away from the Bulls' record of 72 wins. This season, after Link has evolved again, it is not impossible for the Grizzlies to win two more games. ”

"That record that promises to never be broken is likely to end here. The Memphis Grizzlies are on their way to 72 wins this season, and they can do even better! ”

Touching 70 wins in two consecutive seasons is something that none of the Dynasty Bulls have ever done.

But this year, the Grizzlies have a good chance of accomplishing that feat.

If the Grizzlies can really win 70 games in two consecutive seasons, there is no doubt that they have dominated the era.

Grizzlies fans naturally want to see this happen, but fans of other teams don't want to live in the shadow of the Memphis Grizzlies.

Who can stop the grizzly bears? It seems to have become an unsolvable problem. This group of terrifying "villains" has been running rampant in the league for too long, and everyone is expecting a "hero" to appear and put an end to the grizzly bears' wreaking havoc.

After the time enters 2014, the Grizzlies will play a three-game triple. Despite not being able to play at home for three games in a row, the defending champions have not slowed down.

On January 2, the first game of the Grizzlies' three-game winning streak, in Phoenix, Link ushered in the first win of the new year.

Even though Dragic scored 33 points against the Phoenix Suns on the road, it didn't help, and he didn't become a hero for the team and the league.

The Grizzlies, who were stronger overall, shot the sun down smoothly with six players scoring double-doubles. And this is the third time this season that the Suns have lost to the defending champions.

Not surprisingly, the Suns will struggle to win even one game against the Grizzlies this season.

Subsequently, the Grizzlies won two more games against the Nuggets and Pistons. These two teams, which have been lonely, have not become the "heroes" that people expect.

At the beginning of 2014, the Grizzlies won three straight on the road. Counting the previous one, the Grizzlies won another wave of 7 consecutive wins after the 20-game winning streak at the beginning of the season.

With 31 wins and 2 losses, the Grizzlies remain unstoppable. The whole league is in a panic, and no one knows when this terrible "villain team" will stop.

It was at this juncture that a team that looked like it was going to be a "hero" appeared.

As soon as they played, it seemed to give hope to the rest of the league.

"I know we lost to the Grizzlies early in the season. But now we're very mature and we're a lot better than we were at the start of the season. People say we give hope to the Alliance? No, I don't care if the Grizzlies can win 72 or not. But I don't want my team to fall to the Grizzlies over and over again. ”

January 5, Staples Center. After the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Clippers, head coach Popovich spoke to reporters.

So, there is the above answer.

The Spurs played quite beautifully in this game in Staples, creating a 20-point lead from the first quarter!

When Clippers fans thought that the team could turn the tide in the second quarter, the Spurs entered the locker room with a 70-35 halftime score!

Eight of the Spurs' 10 players scored in the half, and four of them scored in double figures! He shot 32-of-52 from the field in the half, shooting 61.5 percent from the field.

Playing the game directly at halftime, which is more vicious than last season's Grizzlies clocking in and out of work in the third quarter.

Why would a team with no open catches, no dunks, and no feet off the ground all day play the gorgeous Clippers like this?

There is no doubt that the Spurs used one exquisite tactic after another to make the Clippers' gorgeousness worthless.

In the end, the Spurs beat the Clippers 116-92 in Staples. In the second half, Popovich had already removed almost all of his main players. Otherwise, the Clippers probably won't even score 90 points.

This big win gave Popovich and the Spurs a boost of confidence. After winning the Clippers, the Spurs also won a proud record of 26 wins and 8 losses! It became the second team in the league other than the Grizzlies to have not lost in a row so far.

Getting such a big win before his second game of the season against the Grizzlies undoubtedly made Popovich very excited. At the beginning of the season, the Spurs' run-in and form really weren't at their best. As a result, the opening game was blown off by Link with a triple-double and won by the Grizzlies by 15 points.

But now, when the Spurs are running rampant and playing the Clippers into obedience, Popovich believes that the Spurs' chance has come!

Link returned to the locker room after the game against the Pistons and immediately saw what Popovich had said in an interview.

At first, Link didn't care too much. Popovich is such a proud old man, and the Grizzlies have trampled on his pride again and again, which naturally makes Popovich very hostile to the Grizzlies.

Link has become accustomed to being hostile, and he and his team have won against the Spurs countless times. Link believes there will be no surprises this time around.

However, when the game on January 7 came, Link really felt the pressure.

Today, the old thief is more than just talking.

Spurs really want to be the hero who stops the villains from running amok.
