After opening the season with a 14-game winning streak and continuing last season's first 70-win streak in the 21st century, the Grizzlies are moving toward another league record.

Great teams are always born with a variety of records, and the Memphis Grizzlies have left their names in several league records, and they are already the most important team in the league.

But no one is guilty of breaking too many records, and after the Grizzlies have won 14 straight games, another all-time first is closing in on them.

Now, the eyes of fans around the world are on the Grizzlies. Their winning streak has become a lot of attention.

When people know that they are witnessing history, the level of concentration is extremely high. Therefore, since the end of the game against the Celtics, every move of the Grizzlies players has been under the watchful eye of fans.

And the Houston Rockets are undoubtedly the second most watched team right now. As the creator of the first 15-game winning streak in history, the Rockets met the Grizzlies at this juncture, which made this already unusual regular season even more dramatic.

Since Yao Ming's retirement, the attention of the team in Space City has plummeted. Although Jeremy Lin and Harden joined last season, the attention is still only second-rate.

Until this summer, Dwight. It was only after Howard chose to settle in Space City that the team came into the limelight again.

And this game is undoubtedly the most high-profile game that the Rockets have played in recent years.

As soon as the Rockets players got off the plane, they were confronted by a group of reporters who were pressed by the black. Some of these reporters were local Memphis reporters, but others were out-of-town reporters who came to cover the game.

Far from being a war between Skycity and Memphis, this is the focus of the world's attention.

Dwight. Howard stares at the camera, revealing his white teeth. Few stars can smile so much in Memphis, and Howard is an outlier.

I don't know if he wants to maintain his sunshine boy character, or if he is really full of confidence.

In comparison, James. Harden's face was much heavier. Since his time with the Thunder, Harden has played against Link and the Grizzlies. Without a doubt, he's definitely the player on the Rockets who knows the Grizzlies the most.

He knows every aspect of a grizzly bear, including the terrifying feeling when fighting a grizzly bear! Last season, and even in the Western Conference Finals, the experience of being overwhelmed by Link is still vivid.

As a result, Harden doesn't have the same good mood as Howard. He knew very well that even if he came out of the Federal Express Arena, he would have to shed a layer of skin!

That guy Dwight, who is not good to mess with, actually messed with the most difficult person......

Top 10 players in the league who are not easy to mess with, you think it's a joke.

"Hey, James, are you confident to win today? We've been in good form lately, so we'll have to give our best on the pitch! ”

After getting on the team bus, Howard also patted Harden on the back like a team leader.

Harden nodded on the surface, but in fact he was an MMP inside.

Why did you put on a face that taught me? Do I need your teaching? And against the Grizzly Bears, even if you try your best, you won't necessarily win. Why don't you think about which nightclub you will go to to relax when you go back......

Howard would never have imagined that his strongest partner was not too eager to win.

They are all players who like to hang out at four o'clock in the morning, but now Harden and Kobe Bryant are completely two different concepts.

It's not without reason that Howard is so confident, and after a brief struggle in the early part of the season, Howard is in excellent form.

In the past three games, Howard has averaged 21.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, which is quite beautiful. He must have thought that he had returned to the top, transformed back into the "monster" who could bring magic to the finals.

However, Howard was only in his second year in the West, and he was a newcomer. He still doesn't know what the words Memphis Grizzlies are.

By the evening, when the two sides had warmed up on the court, Howard still grinned from time to time.

Randolph looked at Howard and shook his head secretly, "That kid is stupid. ”

Link didn't care too much about Howard's condition, he just wanted to take care of himself. The opening 15-game winning streak has been held for almost 20 years. Now, it's time for the rocket to move its ass off the throne.

As for Howard? Don't worry, that guy won't be able to laugh anytime soon.

Before the start of the game, Howard, who was full of superhuman smiles, accepted the famous journalist David Brown. Interview with Aldridge.

'We had a lot of strength today and we've played pretty well in the last three games. Rest assured, after tonight, the league's longest opening streak will still belong to the Houston Rockets. Link is a superstar, and so am I! So, don't think it's easy! ”

"Oh, good luck then, Superstar Dwight." Aldridge smiled and patted Howard on the shoulder, many people thought it was encouragement, but in fact, Aldridge was regretting.

A good guy, I'm going to be cleaned up by Link again.

When the two starters stepped onto the court, Link only hugged Jeremy Lin and then didn't say hello to anyone else on the Rockets.

It can be seen that the smell of gunpowder is still quite strong.

Howard looked at Link with a playful smile, but Link responded with a foolish look.

Howard was immediately annoyed, he felt insulted!

When Lao Tzu played in the finals, you didn't know where it was! Drag a ghost! Against the league's No. 1 center, you have this attitude!?

Of course, Howard just complained secretly in his heart and didn't spew out. Later, when the game starts, he will have time to grind his tongue with Link.

"The starters of both sides are already in place, and the Rockets have sent Jeremy . Lin, Harden, Parsons, Terrence. Jones and Howard's starting lineups. The current set of starters has a 9-5 record for the Rockets, and although the record is not ideal, it is generally getting better. Especially in the last three games, the Rockets have been quite good. ”

Hubi. Brown probably took a look at the Rockets' starters, and to be honest, they were a lot better than last season.

Last season, the Rockets' starting center was Asik, who was basically a burden on both offensive and defensive ends, and couldn't compare with Howard. Although Howard has passed his prime, he is still one of the league's first-class centers.

Terrance. Jones played only 19 games last season, and the Rockets have a fluctuating selection at the No. 4 spot, but they are basically not high-level players. But Jones has averaged 12 points per game so far this season, which is quite good.

Chandler. Parsons' stats look better than last season, and he's now a quasi-All-Star caliber player.

Coupled with Jeremy Lin and Harden, who still maintain their level, the strength of the Rockets has risen a lot.

But even so, there are still all kinds of problems with rockets. Their current record of 9 wins and 5 losses speaks for itself.

Every season, there are big teams that perform well at the beginning of the season, but collapse in the middle and late stages.

However, the performance in the early part of the season is not good, and the teams that have improved significantly in the middle and late stages are very rare.

Hubi. Brown doesn't know if the Rockets will be one of those few, but at least today, the Rockets can't suddenly rise to a level.

Dwight. Howard has been immersed in his own world for too long, and it's time for him to see reality.

Still a superstar? Joke!

As soon as the referee threw the basketball, Howard jumped to his feet and showed off his bounce in front of Gasol Jr.

He's very excited today and he feels like if he wins this one more and he can regain the recognition of the whole world.

Harden controlled the ball and called for a pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line, but Howard, who was in the low post, was unmoved.

He leaned on Gasol and raised his hand to ask for the ball, signaling that he was going to play in the low post!

Lao Tzu is a superstar, the league's No. 1 center, to block and dismantle you? What do you think!

In the Lakers, it was because they didn't want to do this, and it was naturally impossible for the Rockets to do it.

Seeing that Howard was unmoved, Harden suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

The defender raised his hand to block the dismantling, but the center did not bird you, and who was embarrassed on him. In the first round of the Rockets, the offense was divided.

No way, Howard's resume is deeper than Harden's after all. In the end, the bearded man still compromised and gave the basketball to Howard.

Howard held the ball low and was undaunted by Gasol, last season's best defensive player.

Once, he was a three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner. Winning the award for three years in a row, this record cannot be broken to this day.

The best defensive player who can't even get into the best defensive team, Howard doesn't care about it at all.

Rocket No. 12 leaned on Gasol and accelerated violently, wanting to turn around and break through to dunk!

However, to Howard's surprise, Gasol actually pressed forward step by step, and he was stunned to get stuck in his position! The pace of the Spaniards is indeed not fast, but it is not to the point where it can be passed casually.

Howard couldn't get into it, so he could only lean on Gasol and move laterally near the basket.

Howard is unwilling, how can the first offense have to play the momentum of the league's No. 1 center!

So, he hooked his hands on the march. However, this kind of technical work is not Howard's specialty.

Under Gasol's long-arm blockade, Howard's "zombie hook" stumbled out of the frame and was not accurate at all.

This retro hook technique, Howard's two rocket predecessors, Yao Ming and Olajuwon, played with a thief. But it is clear that Howard has not been able to carry on their mantle.

On the first attack, Howard slapped himself in the mouth.

"Dwight misses the first offense, Randolph collects the rebound, now watch the Grizzlies counterattack!"

The Rockets' defense, in general, is at the level of the middle and lower reaches of the league. Howard's protection of the restricted area is indeed much better than last season's Asik, and Parsons' defense is not bad, but the defense of Harden and Jeremy Lin is not enough.

Jeremy Lin is limited by his physical condition, and his defense can only be said to be mediocre. As for Harden, he is a "ruthless man" who is often embarrassed by his eye defense.

Conley slowly passed the half and threw the ball to Link lightly.

Link faced Parsons, who has the height of a big forward, but he was not in a hurry. His tentative steps outside the three-point line put "Gao Fushuai" in a dilemma. Just a tentative step made Parsons very nervous.

Parsons eventually decided to take a step back and watch out for Link breaking. Link seized this space and decisively pulled out a jumper!

Parsons didn't expect Link to be so confident, he just gave Link a little bit of space.

However, the higher the level of the player, the less space is required. Kobe Bryant can shoot with two or three people's bags, and James can break through with two or three people's blocks. There is no space for a superstar player to score.

Link completed his shot before Parsons could block it, and Link's shot was so fast that Parsons simply didn't have time to block.

And just like that, the basketball drilled into the net with precision and hit a three-point shot! From receiving the ball to scoring, Link didn't dribble a single step, just made a few tentative steps to win himself a scoring opportunity.

The goal was in stark contrast to Howard's clumsy hook. What else can be said? This is the real superstar!

"Haha, to put it mildly, Parsons had to defend harder today. The Grizzlies easily opened the scoring and the game continued. ”

After Link's goal, he looked past Parsons, looked at Howard, and shrugged at "The Monster."

Superstar? You're not worthy right now.
