Link's 0.3-second layup dragged the Spurs into overtime to secure another spot at the top of the day's top five charts.

The game was not just a disappointment for Popovich and Spurs fans, but rather for fans of the other 29 teams in the league.

The Spurs gave people hope, everyone thought the Spurs were going to stop the Grizzlies, everyone thought the Spurs were the "savior".

But in the end, when hope was dashed, people preferred that the Spurs had not given them hope.

After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

32-2, 8-game winning streak! The Memphis Grizzlies have no intention of stopping, and more and more people believe that the Bulls' incredible 72-win record is about to end this season.

Among them, the one who most wants to see the Grizzlies break the record is undoubtedly Charles, who has been trampled under Jordan countless times. Buckley too.

"It's time for the '96 bull to fall off the altar! I raised my hands in support of the grizzly bear, after all, people can't live in the glory of the past. If I could, I would love to witness the birth of a new dynasty! ”

Barkley now makes no secret of his affection for the Grizzlies and Link on the show, and people joke that Barkley will never dare to mess with any Chinese players again.

But in reality, many fans are expecting the Grizzlies to break history. Jordan in the 90s is a memory of the last century, and many people have not actually experienced the era when Jordan ravaged the league.

And today's young fans, naturally, hope that they can also witness the birth of an era in person.

In addition to the record of 72 wins, the popularity of the slam dunk contest is also fermenting under Link's super popularity.

Originally, there was still no reason for stars to participate in the slam dunk contest this year. But after Link announced that he was participating, many players were instantly ready to move.

After all, who wouldn't want to beat the best players in the active league?

After the game with the Spurs, the NBA officially announced that the Indiana Pacers star and Link's good brother Paul Bush. George joins the slam dunk contest.

George's current coffee position is not low, and the seven games he played against James in the Eastern Conference Finals last season have made him a first-line superstar in the league.

This season, the Pacers' results have been on a high trajectory. So far, the record is 27 wins and 6 losses, which is better than the Spurs! It is also the team with the best record in the league except for the Grizzlies.

And George's average of 22.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game this season is also very impressive. The combination of the Pacers' record and George's personal data makes him definitely worthy of the title of a first-tier superstar in the league.

George's joining has made the dunk contest even more popular. Link vs. George, Fresno University Civil War, A-List Superstar vs. A-Line Superstar...... These exciting gimmicks have doomed the success of this slam dunk contest.

Link was surprised to learn that George was going to participate in the slam dunk contest. After all, George didn't do well in the slam dunk contest last season. Unexpectedly, after George is now famous, he will choose to challenge again.

"You guy, you don't even tell me in advance when you participate in the slam dunk contest?"

Link "scolded" on the phone, of course, with a smile.

"Hehe, it's always you who surprise others, and I have to surprise you too. Prepare well, Link, I won't let you steal all the honor again this time. ”

George was very excited, and his desire to defeat Link was not so strong. But as long as he can compete with Link, even if it's just in the slam dunk contest, George is very satisfied.

Two days later, on January 10, before the Grizzlies vs. Suns game began, the NBA officially announced the results of the third round of All-Star voting.

Link didn't disappoint, or rather, Link disappointed some again.

After three rounds, Link's votes rose to 1.07 million, ranking first, and he still firmly sat in the position of the vote king! James came in second with 1.05 million votes.

And Durant, who has always aspired to surpass Link, is now unable to surpass even James. Durant received 1.03 million votes after three rounds. Still only in third place, further and further away from Link.

It is worth mentioning that due to Kobe's re-injury, Paul. George has completed the comeback with 900,000 votes and has become the fourth player in the overall list.

It can also be seen from this that this year's slam dunk contest is so star-studded. The No. 1 and No. 4 All-Star voters face off against each other in the Slam Dunk Contest, something fans couldn't have imagined before.

That night, the sun hit the grizzly bear again. Suns coach Hornacek was speechless, as if his team had been specially arranged to celebrate Link's re-election as the top voter.

In the end, the Suns also did a good job of completing their "mission", losing 84-103 and losing to the Grizzlies for the fourth time this season! At the same time, it also made Link's night as the ticket king even more perfect.

For Hornacek, tonight was both unfortunate and lucky.

Unfortunately, the Suns lost humiliating to the Grizzlies once again. But luckily, this is the last time the Suns meet the Grizzlies this season.

From now until the beginning of next season, Hornacek will no longer need to see this group of ruthless "villains". Thinking of this, Hornacek felt a lot more comfortable.

Grizzlies are on a 9-game winning streak, 33-2!

On January 11, people thought it would be a quiet day. As a result, another breaking news suddenly appeared.

Washington Wizards star and 2010 No. 1 pick John Brown. Wall, announce your participation in the Slam Dunk Contest! ”

Now, the lineup of the slam dunk contest has become interesting again.

John. Wall, who was the No. 1 pick in 2010, was criticized for making little progress in the second year of his career.

But in the third year and the fourth year of the year, Wall began to cash in on his talent. So far this season, Wall is averaging 20.3 points, 9.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game!

His three-point shooting percentage, which has been criticized before, has also risen to 35.1% this season. Moreover, it was when more three-point shots were taken than in the previous three seasons.

In terms of statistics alone, Wall is not even inferior to a top point guard like Paul.

And what about the record? This season, the Wizards' record has improved as much as Wall's stats.

Last season, the Wizards were 29-53 and ranked 12th in the East. So far this season, the Wizards have a record of 16 wins and 18 losses, temporarily ranking seventh in the East!

It's not a great result, but it's a leap forward from previous seasons.

There's no doubt that Wall, with his performance this year, will definitely be able to make the All-Star team for the first time. There's no doubt that he's already one of the best point guards in the league.

Such a player is also quite a big name in the slam dunk contest!

For Wall, he's now on the upswing of his career. Therefore, it is definitely necessary to strike while the iron is hot and accumulate popularity like crazy.

And there's nothing like taking part in a slam dunk contest with Link to raise awareness. If Wall can defeat Link in the slam dunk contest, it will definitely increase Wall's popularity a lot on the original basis!

But then again. Wall was the top pick in 2010, and Link wasn't even drafted in 2010!

The champion has to reverse the popularity of the draft, which may be the first time in history.

So far, three of the four contestants in the Slam Dunk Contest have been announced, and all three players are rookies from the class of 2010! After four seasons of hard work, they are already the backbone of the league.

Compare the contestants of the previous slam dunk contests, Nate. Robinson, he's far from a superstar. Terrance. Rose, with little presence other than the slam dunk contest. Jeremy. Evans, one of the most non-existent dunk kings in NBA history......

Compared with these guys, the lineup of this year's slam dunk contest is undoubtedly very, very luxurious.

It's been a long, long time since fans have seen so many stars come together in the Slam Dunk Contest.

In reality, however, the league did not dare to invite George and Wall at all. Based on the experience of the past few years, the league can invite a few well-known rookies, thank God.

After Link announced that he was going to participate in the slam dunk contest, George and Wall reached out to the league and said they wanted to participate.

Newell was right, and Link was the only one in the league who could save the slam dunk contest.

Facing two strong opponents, Link was not afraid, but very excited.

What's the point if his opponents are just some unknown rookies? George and Wall can make the slam dunk contest more fun.

Amid the excitement of the fans, the Grizzlies did not stop moving forward.

On Jan. 12, the Grizzlies defeated the Hawks, who are currently 20-17 and fourth in the East, at home.

So far, after the Grizzlies have won 20 consecutive games in the opening game, they have won another wave of 10 consecutive wins in less than a month.

In the next two games, the Grizzlies will play back-to-back games on the road in Oklahoma and Milwaukee. For the Grizzlies, this is undoubtedly a tough test after a 10-game winning streak.

Link regards the Thunder and Durant as the number one dangerous targets, but in Milwaukee, the "Greek Monster" is ready to fight the Grizzlies......
