8 blocks and 3 steals, this time, even the ball blind can see that Mark . How much Gasol has contributed to the Grizzlies on the defensive end.

Although the Spaniard is not good at scoring explosiveness, he is indeed not a star when weighed by his scoring ability. But in basketball, it's not just about scores. Every player has something he is good at, and if he can bring out what he is good at in the game, he is a good player.

After this match, DeAndrew. Jordan became the target of a drown in saliva, and his frizzy performance in the game was a far cry from Gasol's.

People say, "DeAndre is completely self-defeating, he shouldn't have overstepped the enemy." ”

"No more Chris. Paul, DeAndrew. Jordan was like a child who had lost his asylum. ”

"Compared to Mark, De Andrew is really only in fourth place."

Seeing a 180° reversal in the media's reputation, Link was proud of Gasol. Shut up the other party in one game, that guy who likes to grow vegetables is really a typical representative of people who don't talk much.

Don't underestimate any old man who grows melons.

After watching the news, Link also practiced shooting in his own arena in the evening. Now, even if he is at home, he can go to practice even if he is sitting and fine. After all, he has half an indoor basketball court built into his home.

While shooting at home doesn't make much of an improvement, it does help Link stay on top of things. By the way, I can also increase the progress of the little white strip a little bit.

The training of casual shooting does not have much impact on the progress of Xiao Baitiao, but it is better than nothing, and it adds up to a lot, and Link can save at least a day or two of time by practicing like this every day.

Link has been waiting long enough for this upgrade at the end of January. He found that the further back he went, the slower the accumulation of small white bars.

In the beginning, you can level up after practicing for a month. But now that most of the season has passed, there is still a little room left for Xiaobaitiao.

And what worries Link is that his next upgrade will be very embarrassing.

By the time Link fills up the little white bar the next time, he's about to stack up Grant in the 0304 season. Hill's abilities. For Hill in the 0405 season, Link was very impressed. After all, Hill seemed to be back to his peak that year, averaging nearly 20 points per game and was also selected as an All-Star starter. Despite a precipitous drop in athleticism, he is still one of the best No. 3 players in the league.

But in the 0304 season, even if you look for the most senior Hill fan, you can't tell what it was like for him to play that year.

Because that year, Hill didn't play a single ball.

From 2001 to 2005, Hill underwent five foot surgeries after a comeback injury. It is also in the past few years that a real "Jordan heir" has completely fallen.

In the past few years, Hill's most serious injury was in the 0304 season.

In 2003, the fifth ankle surgery triggered a staphylococcal infection, and the "Devil's Mountain" once had a high fever of 40 degrees, not to mention playing, but almost lost his life! Although he survived in the end with his wife, Hill spent the year from the age of 31 to 32 in a hospital bed.

So, will it be useless to get the ability of Hill in the 0304 season? This worries Link a lot.

Although his rate of improvement is unprecedented, and although he is now one of the best No. 3 players in the league, although the promotion will allow him to get one step closer to the peak Hill, if not stronger. But of course, Link doesn't want his sweat to be wasted, and if he can become stronger, who wants to stand still?

Link is an older rookie who just entered the league after graduating from his senior year, and he doesn't have a lot of time to squander like other youngsters.

In the future, Wiggins can soak goji berries in a thermos cup, after all, he was only 23 years old at that time. But when Link arrives this summer, he will be 25 years old.

25 years old is always said for a professional player, it is not old to say old, but it is not young to say young. Most stars should be able to produce at this age.

The 25-year-old Kobe Bryant is already a three-time champion in a row.

The 25-year-old Jordan, who averaged 35 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and was named the scoring champion, steal champion, regular season MVP and All-Star MVP that season, is really a rogue.

The 25-year-old James is already a top superstar in the league and won the first regular season MVP trophy of his career.

What about Link? He is almost 25 years old, and he is even considered by many to be not a first-line superstar.

Therefore, Link naturally hopes that every upgrade he has will have an effect. But now he can't control so many things, the only thing he can do is sweat and try to fill the white bars to see the results.

This January, Link is destined to spend most of his day on the basketball court.

The training continues, and so does the competition. Although the January Devils schedule has passed, there are still three full months left for the regular season battle.

Just after playing the Clippers, the Grizzlies ran into the old enemy Spurs again. Only this time, the battlefield has become an ATT center.

The last time the two sides met, the picture of Link's last-minute stunner still made Popovich feel uneasy. In the pre-game interview, he also told reporters, "The key to winning is not to let the Grizzlies drag the game into the final moments." The Grizzlies' ability to finish games at critical moments is just too tough. ”

Popovich was scared, and so were the Spurs players. So today, the whole Spurs team played extremely cautiously, passed the ball very smoothly, and played a perfect team attack.

The Spurs provided 33 assists throughout the game, ensuring everyone had an open shot. In the end, with a patient team offense, the Spurs shot 58.7% overall and 50% three-point shooting! It's frighteningly efficient.

Leonard, a guy who can't shoot three-pointers in people's impressions, may have been stimulated by Link in the last game, so he shot 3 of 3 three-pointers today, making Link lose his temper.

With such an efficient offense, it will be difficult for the Spurs to lose this time. In the end, the Spurs won 103-98 at home against the Grizzlies. In the regular season, the Spurs regained the lead by a large score of 2-1.

Link had a good performance today, with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. But in the face of the Spurs' perfect offense, it was still not enough for the Grizzlies to win.

Just after playing 8 days and 6 games, he ran into the Spurs, and Link found that the timing of the Grizzlies and Spurs meeting this year was not very coincidental.

And the-for-tat situation between the Spurs and the Grizzlies in the regular season has made fans of the two teams look forward to the two sides in the playoffs.

"Maybe it's only in the playoffs that we can really tell the winners." Link, who knocked out the Spurs for two consecutive years, answered reporters.

In the days that followed, the Grizzlies won and lost.

No. 18 and No. 19 won against the Kings and Bulls, respectively, and No. 21 lost to the Pacers, who came to take revenge. But on the 23rd, he immediately won the Lakers again.

Bryant played 39 minutes and scored 29 points. But the Lakers' chaotic offense and poor locker room atmosphere left Bryant without any strong support.

Gasol and Howard combined for 14 shots, hitting just four of them. Therefore, piling up superstars is not necessarily a shortcut to winning the championship.

106-93, the Grizzlies beat the Lakers at home and avoided a losing streak. He didn't even forget to hug Link after the game, but instead threw off his towel and walked into the players' tunnel.

Link can understand, after all, Kobe Bryant is aiming for the championship this year, and it turns out that the team is now difficult to even make the playoffs.

This huge gap naturally makes a competitive person like Kobe Bryant unable to bear.

After tonight's game, the Grizzlies will get two days off. As a result, Link decided to practice after the game.

He couldn't wait to see what kind of new abilities he could gain tonight.

※※※

Continuing to practice after a game is actually a common occurrence in the NBA. However, most of the time it is because a star is not doing well in this game that he does so. Actually, there is some meaning of competing with oneself in it.

But Link's performance today was very good, with 32 points in the game, overshadowing the desperate Kobe. By the way, he also handed out seven assists, allowing Randolph to also cut down 18 points.

So, when Stevens heard that Link would have to practice even if he played like this, he thought it was incredible.

"That guy, you're not happy with your performance? He scored more than Kobe! ”

Elston. Turner just shrugged, and tonight, the trainer had to work overtime with Link again.

An hour and a half after the game, Link, who had been practicing catching and shooting, suddenly stopped his movements and looked surprised.

"Noah, it's hard work, let's stop here today." Then, he waved his hand and told the trainer to leave work. Link, covered in sweat, sat on the floor, digesting the few lines that had just appeared in front of his eyes.

0203 Season Grant. Ciel's abilities stack.

That's right, not the 0304 season, but the 0203 season! It seems that it was because Hill didn't play in the 0304 season, so that year was skipped!

It is equivalent to that Link has been promoted two levels in a row tonight! This is something Link really didn't expect.

As a result, Link is only two upgrades away from the all-powerful pinnacle Hill in 2000.

At the age of 25, maybe he can also make a career.
