"It's a humiliating day for me and I'll remember it and play better in the next fight." Westbrook replied blankly at the press conference.

"I had a chance to finish the fight, but I messed up. Memphis is a fortress, and I think we'll have to take longer to defeat him. Durant reluctantly spread his hands and sat next to him, Westbrook who scored the same number as his jersey was even more embarrassed.

"The Grizzlies' system has matured quite well, and now, even in Rudy. The Grizzlies can win when Guy doesn't shoot well. They played great, but we'll be back. Brooks first affirmed the strength of the Grizzlies, but then expressed his reluctance.

From the start of the first round of last season's series to now, the Thunder have gone crazy trying to win against the Grizzlies. But in the end, it was a two-point loss, and the Thunder suffered a blow to morale from top to bottom.

But what about the thunder, Link doesn't care. Although the belly black brother lost again, Link knew that Durant would not fall or sink just like that. That guy's glory hasn't even begun yet.

Of course, after the game, there were also reporters who continued to question Link. They think that Link's "dumping" behavior at a critical moment seems very unmanly.

"If he really had a kind, he would have solved the problem on his own like Durant, rather than handing the ball to his big brother at a critical moment."

"You all say Link is a cool pass, but in my opinion, it's just a helpless move when Link can't make a move."

"It's Zach. Randolph kills the game, not Link. After the game, it should have been Randolph who was voted Man of the Match, not Link. ”

This kind of media report is really bad to watch. But Link is already immune, and as long as a person wants to squirt you, he can have countless reasons. Instead of being sorry for these people who hate him, Link might as well be happy for those accolades.

After defeating the Thunder, the Grizzlies played two of the three games of the "Devil's Open".

On Dec. 30, the Grizzlies will take on San Antonio to face the Spurs for the first time this season. After this race, the 2011 competition will be over and the 2012 journey will begin.

As it stands, the Grizzlies haven't had a busy schedule yet. So Link believes that in less than four months, the Grizzlies will have to run around.

When it comes to the Grizzlies' next game opponent, the Spurs, they are still playing pretty strong this season.

Last season, when the Spurs were crushed by the Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals, everyone thought the GDP era was over, and they couldn't play well again as they got older.

However, Popovich explained what it means to turn decay into magic.

Since the beginning of their rookie season, the Spurs have won two straight games against the Clippers and Texas rivals the Rockets.

Against the Clippers, the Spurs beat Paul and Griffin by 25 points. Duncan had 20 points and eight rebounds, and his form was much better last season. All six of the Spurs scored in double figures, and it turned out that they can still wrestle with the strong teams in the West.

Against the Rockets, Duncan had 22 points and 12 rebounds, which meant that he was back at the top. In this game, the Spurs didn't win as much as they did against the Clippers, and they only won by 20 points.

The Spurs' two-game winning streak has put them back in the ranks of the Western Conference powerhouses.

Who said the Spurs dynasty was coming to an end? The Spurs will never fall until Duncan retires.

So the game on December 30 was also quite intense.

The revenge on the Spurs' side is not as heavy as the Thunder, after all, the Spurs' players are all old rivers and lakes, and life and death are downbeat.

But without revenge, it doesn't mean that the Spurs will easily let go of victory.

In last year's series, Randolph blew up the old Deng head. Today, Duncan was a shameful game, shooting only 37.5% from the field and scoring only 10 points.

On the other hand, Duncan's side, with 18 points and 11 rebounds, proved that he is not old yet, and the No. 21 rookie in San Antonio still has "room to rise". After getting rid of the problem of plantar fasciitis, Duncan seemed to instantly become the feared "flying devil" again.

With the exception of Duncan, the rest of the Spurs are as good as ever. Ginobili 24 points, Parker 15 points and Blair 14. Of course, today Link was also on the basketball court for the first time with that guy called Kawaii. Leonard's men were in counterpoint.

Leonard played 12 minutes today, and although he scored 6 points, his 22.2% shooting rate can be said to be very bad. Link played two rounds with him, nothing special, and the defense was all about.

But it must be admitted that Leonard's physical condition is enviable. His long arms and big hands are very conspicuous on the basketball court.

Leonard is still in the stage of adapting to the rhythm of the NBA, so his performance is generally normal. Link believes that the next time he meets Leonard again, it won't be so easy.

In the end, Link scored 20 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds, and Guy had 19 points and 10 rebounds. However, two fists were hard to beat four hands, and under the leadership of Deng Tou, the Spurs finally won three consecutive victories at home, 95-90. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, also suffered their first loss of the season in San Antonio.

The San Antonio's "back-to-the-light" performance surprised the media, but for the Grizzlies players, especially Randolph, who was blown out by Duncan, all that remained of the game was grievances.

"Damn, blame me today, it's my performance that's terrible!" Back in the locker room after the game, Randolph, who had scored only 10 points and was extremely inefficient, kept complaining.

A player who was abused by you last season and can't take care of himself suddenly completes a counter-kill this season, this kind of thing is not good for anyone.

"Alright Zach, you know, it's never one person's responsibility to lose. Relax, man, let's win it back. "Tony. Aaron comforted the big black bear as he changed his clothes, "But seriously, this is a wake-up call for us." This season will not be easy, so don't take it lightly because of the previous two consecutive wins. ”

"Otherwise, let's play a game!" Tony. After Aaron finished speaking, Link had an idea and thought of interesting things.

"Oh? What game!? "Randolph's eyes lit up, this guy likes this kind of thing.

"Last season we were fifth in the West, so this season we should try to move up the rankings. That way, we'll have home field advantage in the playoffs. Otherwise, all of us are not allowed to shave our beards from today until we finish fourth or above in the West, what do you think? Link laughed evilly, he couldn't imagine what Randolph, who had no neck, would look like after growing a beard.

That's all over the shoulders, it's all heads! And it's round like a football.

It's a small proposition, but let's be honest, with this sense of ritual, the players will also put more emphasis on the goal of having to finish in the top four in the regular season.

"Okay, I'm up for the challenge! What about you? Is there anyone who doesn't dare to play!? Sure enough, Randolph immediately chimed in. With this guy in the locker room, Link is never afraid of being cold.

"Come on, come on."

"Isn't it just not shaving? What's so hard about it? ”

"We're definitely in the top four in the West, for sure!"

Everyone nodded their heads and agreed to Link's proposal. The haze of losing the game was swept away in an instant, and everyone had stronger determination and momentum at this time.

Just then, Hollins walked back to the locker room after attending a press conference. He waved to the players, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave for Chicago." ”

The Grizzlies' next game will be the Chicago Bulls, led by last season's MVP. Since the interval between the two games is only 1 day, I am afraid that it will be too much to return to Memphis. As a result, the Grizzlies players will fly directly from San Antonio to Chicago to prepare for the game.

Since the Bulls are an Eastern Conference team, they don't meet the Grizzlies many times, so Link is not too impressed with this opponent. But there is one thing Link remembers very well - last season, the Grizzlies didn't seem to win against the Bulls once.
