Link doesn't know that he has been used as the cornerstone of a team building by a certain diamond king. Originally, the Grizzly Bear was going to be sold, and Link never got involved much. After all, that's the bosses' business, and the players playing at the bottom are in a hurry, even if they are in a hurry.

Right now, Link's attention is all on the Los Angeles Clippers. As the fifth-ranked team in the West this year, the Clippers' record is not much different from the fourth-place Lakers. Therefore, both the Clippers and the Lakers are likely to touch the third position in the West.

In other words, the two teams are now direct competitors in the rankings. The Grizzlies don't want to run into the Thunder in the second round, and the Lakers and Clippers don't want to run into a derby in the first round. Therefore, both teams are eyeing this third position and will definitely fight for each other.

And before, the Clippers and Grizzlies played each other twice, and both times unfortunately lost. Paul and Griffin, naturally, wanted to seize this opportunity to get rid of it.

The game between the two teams has not yet started, and the first to stand up and do things is DeAndre Jordan.

"I think Blake and I should be able to score easily on the Grizzlies' interior, we're not the same as we were before, and the Grizzlies' interior is not the same as before. Now Link is the core of the Grizzlies, and on the inside, we're going to fight for it. ”

Link remembers that last time it was Jordan Jr. who was slapped in the face for his disrespectful remarks, but this time it was him.

Sometimes, you really can't figure out what little Jordan's brain circuitry looks like. This guy is just not very "mentally retarded" when he is on the court, but off the basketball court, Jordan Jr.'s "mental retardation" is actually no less than that of Cousins and others.

Of course, Jordan Jr.'s words didn't cause much of a stir. After all, Jordan Jr. wasn't the star of the game. Secondly, his influence is really not big enough.

But his inside partner, Griffin, has a much greater say in the media.

"I'm going to try, and I've been waiting for this opportunity since the last loss to the Grizzlies. I'm hungry to fight Grizzlies and I'm hungry to prove myself. I believe that as long as we follow the tactics step by step and play our established combinations, it is not impossible to win against the Grizzlies. We've lost two games and there won't be a third. ”

Griffin's remarks in front of the media are obviously much more mature. After all, he has lost to the Grizzlies twice this season, and Griffin can't release it even if he wants to.

Although the tone and words are very peaceful, Griffin's unwillingness and anger can still be seen between the lines.

Last season, he was a popular monster in the NBA, he played an epic rookie season with 20+10 data, he made it to the All-Star in his first year in the NBA, and basketball fans around the world went crazy for him in the dunk contest.

But what about this year? Everything took a turn for the worse. Link, who started the All-Star Game and broke the three-point contest record, stole the limelight, Link, who often scored triple-doubles this season, stole the limelight, and the Grizzlies' excellent record also stole the limelight from the Clippers.

It seemed like a summer later, Griffin and Link had swapped places.

For a person who was once on the top, it is naturally difficult for him to tolerate being replaced by others.

So today, Griffin's biggest goal is to calmly help the team win. By the way, overpower Link on the data!

Griffin hopes he's still the best player in the 10th class. Everyone is young, and the flesh is strong, and who wants to be left behind?

Wiggins, who "soaked wolfberries in a thermos cup", is a latecomer after all.

So, Link didn't let his guard down because of Griffin's bland tone in the interview. The Grizzlies did win against the Clippers twice before, and the second time was an exceptionally easy win.

But this time, from Paul, Griffin, Jordan Jr. to others, they are all more hungry than ever to win, and they will play more ferociously than ever.

Even in the face of his defeated generals, you have to be conscientious.

The day before the game against the Clippers, after practice, Link stayed behind to finish his physical therapy and go home.

While changing clothes in the locker room, Link sees that Jimmy Butler's locker is still open.

It's no surprise that Butler is a kid who stays in for practice almost every day, and he hasn't been used this season to get a lot of playing time.

So Link told him, "If you want to sweat in a competitive match, you have to sweat in the gym first." ”

Since then, Jimmy Butler has become a being who comes earlier and leaves later than Link every day. Because Link has to play games and has a busy schedule this season, he naturally can't practice against Butler.

So Link's name as the "Arena Mouse" only lasted last year, and this year it was snatched away by Jimmy Butler.

I believe that next season, Butler will surprise everyone.

The thought of becoming a mentor to a future superstar makes Link secretly proud.

But today, unusually, opposite Link, Marc Gasol's locker was not closed either!

Gasol, because he is a center forward, has a greater load on his legs and feet than everyone else. Therefore, Hollins does not support him in training.

Diligence is good, but if you get injured by overwork, it's counterproductive.

Look at Yao Ming, it's a pity to retire early because of various fatigue injuries.

As a result, Gasol Jr. rarely stayed to practice. It's not lazy, after all, Gasol Jr. usually works hard when he trains. If you don't practice, it's just a measure to protect yourself.

However, today, Gasol Jr.'s locker was not closed, and Link instantly wanted to go to the training gym to have a look. Marc Gasol, actually stayed and practiced?

※※※

When Link walked into the training gym in casual clothes, sure enough, Jimmy Butler was not the only one left today.

At this time, Gasol Jr. was training for low post attacks with the assistance of his trainer.

Gasol Jr. already has a lot of hair, and he hasn't shaved his beard in months, and his beard is as thick as James Harden. Coupled with the fact that he was sweating profusely, Link felt hot when he looked at it.

"Mark, did you forget your keys to the house? Haven't left yet? Link shouted, and little Gasol saw that it was Link, and also stopped his movements, and took a break by the way.

"I'm so irritable, I want to stay and sweat!"

"Oh? Got a fight with your girlfriend? Link smiled, what else could a man be fussy? It's nothing more than a career and a woman.

Oh, and by the way, there's a good chance that little Gasol is also upset about growing potatoes

"No, it's just that I can't wait to fight DeAndre Jordan. So, get used to it in advance! Damn, did he figure it out, I'm the All-Star center this year, not him! ”

Hearing Gasol Jr.'s answer, Link began to think things were getting interesting. Jordan Jr.'s provocation is nothing to Link's eyes, but in Gasol Jr.'s opinion, it is a little disrespectful.

Originally, Gasol Jr.'s selection as an All-Star this year was met with some doubts. Some people believe that Jordan Jr. is more qualified than him. And Jordan Jr.'s words before the game today to "beat the Grizzlies inside" are indeed a provocation to Gasol Jr. naked.

Many people think that Gasol Jr. will not be angry, but in fact, he just doesn't know him well enough. This guy, if Link is to judge, is an elegant beast!

His words and deeds, every move and style, are simple and pure, clean and simple. He is smart but not cunning, strong but not reckless. He's slow but rhythmic, he's wild but also sane. Every gesture has a kind of carnivorous beast-like elegance. In a way, Gasol Jr. even bears a similar tone to the city of Memphis.

They are both conservative and radical.

It seems that this time, little Jordan has made the elegant beast angry.

"So it looks like someone will be unlucky in the restricted area tomorrow." Link slapped little Gasol's ass, a universal bulging move for men all over the world.

"Who do you think would be unlucky in the restricted area?" Gasol Jr. asked quipsly.

"It's not you who's unlucky anyway, go home early and rest, Mark. So are you, Jimmy. After Link's words, he waved at the two who stayed behind to practice.

I didn't expect so many interesting things to happen. For tomorrow's game, Link is starting to look forward to it.
