Fast into February, and the Grizzlies are in high spirits because of the Link and Randolph affair.

Although there are demoralized players like Mayo, the Grizzlies are still in excellent shape overall.

In their first game of February against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Grizzlies won comfortably. Although the "wolf king" at that time, Kevin. Lefu still cut down the two-pair data of 10+10. However, compared to Randolph's 23 points and 13 rebounds, it is still too inferior.

102-84, the Grizzlies won their first game in February. Mayo, who scored just 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting in this game, was undoubtedly one of the worst players on the Grizzlies. Compared with Link's 14 points and 5 rebounds, it was a superior decision.

It's no wonder that people shouldn't be surprised that Link has taken the No. 2 starting spot.

Two days later, on Feb. 4, the Grizzlies beat the Cavaliers at home. The Cavaliers of this period didn't just lose LeBron. James, and Kelly. Irving hasn't made it to the league either. So, how bad the whole team is going to be. The regular season has been played until February, and the Cavaliers have only won eight games.

The title of the bottom of the alliance, it is estimated that no one can compete with them.

In the face of such a fish-belly team, the Grizzlies are also not soft.

112-101, the Grizzlies won again. So far, the Grizzlies have won five in a row. The gap with the ninth Rockets in the West is also getting wider and wider.

The media is hyping that the Grizzlies are on the verge of having their best season since Pau Gasol left. The combination of Link and Randolph will turn the bottom half of the top eight in the West upside down.

However, at this juncture, the Grizzlies are in trouble.

In February, it wasn't just the Grizzlies who were on the sprint. All teams are working hard for the final standings.

On February 5, back-to-back against the Houston Rockets again, Link exploded with 25 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds, but because the rest of the Grizzlies were too tired, the Grizzlies lost by 4 points, and the five-game winning streak was ended, not to mention, and the Rockets narrowed some gaps.

On February 7, facing the Lakers, who were bent on competing with the Spurs for first place, the Grizzlies lost again. In this game, the united Lakers played an abnormal performance of 6 players scoring double-doubles. Bryant "only" took 17 shots, only four more than Odom. Today, the Lakers seemed to play a Spurs-style team offense and caught the Grizzlies off guard.

Although after the game, Bryant said to Link, who scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, "I have a chance to train together in the summer." ”

This can be regarded as Kobe's approval, but after losing, Link couldn't be happier.

After playing the Lakers, the Grizzlies ushered in another round of back-to-back games on the road. To be honest, Link really felt that the league's schedule was very unfair. Because he's coming to the Grizzlies, he's played an unknown number of back-to-back games. He wouldn't dare say that the Grizzlies have had the most back-to-back games this season, but there is certainly no pressure to finish in the top three.

On Feb. 8, the Grizzlies pounced on Oklahoma and fought the Thunder again.

Although the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder last time, if you underestimate this youth team, it will be more than worth the loss. After all, the team is now on par with the Lakers, and it's also eyeing the No. 1 spot in the West.

So, today's game was still intense. The Thunder had a strong confrontation, which made the Grizzlies, who were fighting back-to-back, somewhat uncomfortable.

Durant and Westbrook are vengeful and don't want to lose for the second time in a row to a team that can't even finish in the top five in the West.

And Thunder coach Scott. Brooks also made a ruthless move today, starting Ibaka from the start, specifically to contain Randolph.

Randolph was already very tired, and he had to fight Ibaka hard steel as soon as he came up, so he had a hard time.

Thankfully, Link and Guy played well today, which barely allowed the Grizzlies to stabilize the situation. Speaking of which, although Guy is occasionally disliked by people for brain pumping, in critical moments, Guy is much more reliable than Mayo.

The game went on anxiously until the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, when the Grizzlies trailed the Thunder by four points and still had hope of a comeback. Gay, the Grizzlies' best-playing player today, confronted Durant from beyond the three-point line.

I don't know why, Guy is very energetic every time he beats Durant. The same was true last time, and if it weren't for Gay's restrictions on Durant, the Grizzlies would have struggled to win.

Guy knew he had a lot of responsibility, so he opted for a singles with the ball. But to be honest, Hollins doesn't like Gay singles with the ball, and he actually prefers the team's offense to pass a few more shots.

Guy called for cover and then broke through with the ball.

Durant was solidly blocked by Gasol Jr., and watched Guy just go into the restricted area.

"Rudy. Guy looked furious, and he didn't allow his team to suffer the shame of three straight defeats at this sprint in February! ”

Accompanied by the narrator's yelling, Rudy. Guy's "spring legs" sent him flying into the air, and this guy looked like he was going to buckle!

But the Thunder also don't want to give up this victory, and they have been looking forward to revenge on the Grizzlies for dozens of days and nights. So, Sergi. Serge Ibaka, the Thunder's pillar on the defensive end of the interior line, stepped up.

He was not afraid of Guy, who had already rushed at him, and he slammed it up! The two "spring people" collided in the air, and Link watched the aerial duel between Ibaka and Guy with envy and drooled with envy.

When will I be able to have such perverted athletic ability?

In the air, both of them refused to give in to each other and suddenly exerted force. Guy wants the buckle, Ibaka wants the block. In such a situation, a violent physical collision is inevitable.

Ibaka slammed into Guy hard, and Guy screamed in the air, suddenly lost his center of gravity, and then fell to a hard board!

Link didn't pay much attention to it at first, and the players couldn't help but yell during the fierce confrontation, which was a reflex.

However, when Guy landed, he covered his shoulders wrapped in protective gear, and Link realized that something was wrong!

"Rudy. Guy looked in a lot of pain and he covered his shoulder, which was known to have been playing with an injury, and his shoulder had not been in good shape. Could it be that the confrontation just now made his shoulder injury worse!? ”

On the commentary stage, all the commentators stood up and looked inside the stadium.

Link and Guy don't have a good relationship, and they even have some rival meanings. But seeing his teammates injured and falling to the ground, Link didn't think so much about it and hurriedly surrounded him. Sometimes, personal vendettas can't take precedence over the team's interests.

He still remembers that Guy forced his comeback because he was afraid that he would take his starting spot. According to the original history, Guy would have been reimbursed for the season with a shoulder injury this season.

Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but swallow. The injury that made him reimburse for the season, shouldn't it be this time......

Seeing that Guy couldn't get up for a long time, the Grizzlies team doctor stepped onto the court. After a brief inquiry and examination, the team doctor waved to the bench. This means that Guy needs to be stretchered off the court!

"The stretcher team came on and that meant Rudy. There's a good chance Guy won't be able to keep the game going! God, may he be well on his shoulders. After all, this isn't the first time Guy has suffered a shoulder injury. ”

"yes, yes, Guy's injury is nothing short of devastating for the Grizzlies! Not to mention this game, it even casts a shadow over their prospects of making the playoffs! The Grizzlies are one of the biggest dark horses of the year, and let's hope Guy doesn't miss him for too long! ”

The commentators were gossiping, but the Thunder guys were unkindly happy. After all, with Guy's injury, their chances of winning this game have undoubtedly increased greatly.

Guy had previously scored 20 points and was the Grizzlies' most powerful offensive point. Moreover, he has a decent limit on Durant on the defensive end.

But this time, all the obstacles of the Thunder team are gone!

Due to the chaos on the spot, the game had to be stopped. Lionel. Hollins was in a hurry right now, and Guy's sudden injury drop completely shattered his plans.

Now that the team is four points down and on a three-game losing streak, he really doesn't know what to do.

But as a manager, he can't panic in the first place. Otherwise, the players under him will be even more chaotic.

So, Hollins took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. They are all adults, and they have to solve problems, not create problems for themselves.

Right now, the Grizzlies' most pressing problem is who to use to play the No. 3 position against Durant!

"Link!" Without even thinking about it, Hollins called out to Link.

"I'm here."

"I need you to confront Durant, can you hold it down?"

"Nest grass!" Link cursed in his heart, dealing with Durant and dealing with Harden is not a difficult thing.

But now the team needs itself, and we can't run away. So, Link nodded in agreement.

"I try."

"Very well, then number two, Tony, get rid of you." Hollins turned his head back to Tony. Allen, this is the lineup he has been expecting for a long time.

Conley, Tony. Aaron, Link, Randolph and Gasol Jr.

A lineup that Hollins has always wanted to try, was forced to appear on the court today.
