As we enter March, the temperature begins to rise gradually.

In addition to the temperature, there is also the regular season.

And, Bill. Simmons' social media.

Link in. The day after T's show said that he was going to give Simmons a hat, Simmons posted a "gift" from Link to himself on his social media, accompanied by a concise but emotional speech.

"You damn bastard!"

For a time, countless fans reposted Simmons' news. The number of comments and likes on this post has also soared.

But the reaction of most fans to this incident is not sympathy for Simmons, but that Link is really doing a good job!

The empty top hat is a super gift!

"This is definitely the most thoughtful gift Link has ever given."

"This treatment, even Rachel envy when she sees it."

"I have to say, Link is such a jerk, but a jerk that we all like."

The Link vs. Simmons affair has been talked about by fans and has become one of the biggest attractions in the league.

In the first round of the playoffs at the end of April, no matter which team the Grizzlies face, that game is sure to be a blockbuster rating.

It's not just because of the game itself, but also because Simmons will be shaving his head live from the commentary box.

This kind of picture, everyone is not immune, everyone is looking forward to it.

And whether this scene will happen or not depends on Link's performance in the last month and a half of the regular season.

At the start of March, the Grizzlies played as smoothly as ever. Starting with a victory over the Utah Jazz on March 3, they beat the Knicks by 21 points on March 23.

The Grizzlies went undefeated in March, winning 13 straight games. Counting the last three wins in February, the Grizzlies are on a 16-game winning streak.

With 16 straight wins, the Grizzlies finally tied the Warriors' record for the longest winning streak in a single season set this season.

And, for the second season in a row, the Grizzlies made history with three 10-game winning streaks in a single season.

On the surface, the Memphis Grizzlies are in good shape. But only true Grizzlies fans and Grizzlies players themselves know how tough they played in March.

In March, the Grizzlies' injury curse still hasn't faded, but the curse has strengthened.

Conley had only played two games since his comeback when his ankle injury recurred. In order to ensure Conley's safety, he is now thrown directly into the daily watch list.

To put it bluntly, the return date is undecided.

Randolph, who has only been healthy for less than two months, has also stopped and stopped after entering March. Although he has not been absent all the time, he has not been able to maintain full attendance all the time.

Carter Sr.'s delay in making a comeback has put the Grizzlies' bench bench to the test of their long-range shooting ability.

At its worst, Joggle had only 8 people available in a game. Although the Grizzlies bench is still full, when you look closely, Quan Teh is wearing a suit!

It was under such circumstances that the Grizzlies forced a wave of 16 consecutive wins.

relied on Link's continuous super performances.

Playing the Rockets on March 4, Gasol Jr. sent a throw-in to directly assist Link to receive a stunner.

Playing the Nuggets on March 16, Link had 32 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds, and hit a triple-double for the 14th time this season, surpassing Kidd and Grant. Hill's 13 single-season appearances are the sixth-most all-time in the league.

Playing the Trail Blazers on March 21, Link once again prevented Lillard from shooting just 40% from the field, allowing the Grizzlies to pass the test smoothly.

The Grizzlies have not had an easy journey, and several times they have been within thought of losing.

Despite winning 16 in a row, the Grizzlies are swaying as if they could fall off a cliff at any moment.

After 16 consecutive wins, Stephen. A. Smith started his exaggerated expression performance again on a show, "If someone else were to lead this Grizzly team, they would definitely have fallen to the top three!" Look at LeBron's Cavaliers, look at Cameron. Anthony's Knicks. Both teams have also had varying degrees of injury trouble during the season, but they're not as resilient as the Grizzlies! ”

Stephen. A. Smith once again blew Link and the Grizzlies into the air, but fans know that the Grizzlies are not safe.

It was a miracle that they were able to win 16 in a row in March with a battalion full of wounded soldiers, but the miracle could not be sustained.

Everyone thought it was only a matter of time before the Warriors regained the No. 1 spot in the West, and with the game going through to the end of March, it seemed like the Warriors' chance was coming.

Since the Grizzlies defeated the Knicks on March 23 to win 16 in a row, the Grizzlies have fallen to the bottom in one fell swoop.

In an instant, the whole of Memphis entered the darkest hour.

There is no transition at all between the glories and the lows, which is difficult for all Memphis fans to accept.

On March 25, the well-formed Cavaliers faced the Grizzlies who were missing Randolph, Carter and Conley, winning 111-107.

The Cavaliers' Big Three combined for 66 points and won the final victory thanks to key goals from James and Irving.

The two sides actually played very anxiously in this game, but Link's shooting percentage at the critical moment didn't seem to be so high.

It's not because Link's abilities have degraded, but because he's really tired!

Originally, the players were very tired when the game entered March. What's more, Link has almost single-handedly propped up the team this month.

So, by the end of March, Link was very tired.

He spends a lot of time every day accepting Judy. Seto's massage, which he has reduced in training intensity.

Otherwise, Link is estimated to be on the injury list by now.

In such a situation, every time the game is played to the end, Link feels that it is difficult for him to hold on.

It's just that playing other teams, the Grizzlies will most likely not drag the game to the last moment. But against the Cavaliers, James, Irving and Love definitely have that ability.

The victory in this game undoubtedly made Cleveland fans cheer. The Cavaliers finally got a win over the Grizzlies after a poor regular season record.

This has given Cavaliers fans a huge boost in self-confidence.

As it turned out, the Cavaliers were capable of fighting the Grizzlies. The ownership of this year's championship has not yet been decided.

However, no one thought that losing to the Knights was just the beginning. Over the next two days, the wounded and exhausted Grizzlies lost to the Spurs and Warriors. After 16 consecutive wins, it experienced a wave of 3 consecutive defeats without warning!

Both the Warriors and Spurs are in great form, and they both know that this is one of the few good opportunities to beat the Grizzlies.

So, both teams gathered their strength, showed their best condition, and fell into the well to beat the grizzly bear to death.

After this wave of 3 consecutive defeats, the whole world was shocked.

The outside media and fans were originally expecting the Grizzlies to lose, but when the Grizzlies did lose in a row, they found themselves a little unaccustomed.

Three consecutive defeats on other teams may just be the norm. But in the case of grizzly bears, this is an incredible thing!

After all, the last time the Grizzlies lost 3 in a row was back in the 11-12 shrinking season! For two seasons since, the Grizzlies have barely lost well.

Now, the Grizzlies' defeat is just in vogue, sweeping away the entire league like a flood and catching the world off guard.

Fortunately, in the last game of March, against the Kings without Cousins, the Grizzlies won smoothly and stopped the losing streak in time.

Throughout March, the Grizzlies' 15-18 win record was actually still very good. After March, the Grizzlies also had a 62-11 record, still in first place in the West.

But the 61-13 Warriors don't seem to be far from the first place in the West. The dominance of the Grizzlies seems to be swaying in the wind.

With the last half of the regular season remaining, injuries are tormenting the Grizzlies, and in addition to that, the in-form Warriors are still eyeing the back.

It seems that the Golden State Warriors have half a foot on the throne of the first place in the West.

After entering April, Link continued to win the Western Conference Player of the Month award with his explosive personal data.

It was Link's fifth monthly award this season, making him the most player of the month in NBA history in a single season.

Although a terrible record was broken, the atmosphere at the press conference was very heavy.

There's no doubt that this has something to do with the Grizzlies' best losing streak.

At the press conference of the best award of the month, a reporter asked Link a question, "At the beginning of the season, you said that you were not only going to beat the Warriors, but also to win the first place in the West. But right now, the situation seems to be stacked against the Grizzlies, do you still think the Grizzlies will be able to hold on to the top spot in the West before the end of the regular season? ”

Hearing this, Link's eyes changed. His face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and he was very serious.

"The Memphis Grizzlies are still not going down, and my word still counts. I know our injury list is long enough to look at like a phone book. But as long as I haven't fallen, the Warriors won't want to climb up. ”

Jogger turned his head to look at Link beside him, and the murderous aura in that guy's eyes made people dare not look at it directly.

In the last half month, the competition for the first place in the west will be unprecedentedly fierce.
