302: Abrupt change in calm and calm
Link played well today and his back-to-back skills were very mature. ”
"I've said a long time ago that Link has the ability to carry a team."
"Link's cross-step pull-and-go mid-range shot ranks among the top three in the league."
The day after the Grizzlies vs. Lakers game, Bryant praised Link's few words, which became a hot topic of discussion among fans. There are not many young players in this league who can spontaneously praise Kobe Bryant, and it is even more rare for Kobe to use so many beautiful words at one time.
No matter how much the media qualifs, some people will feel that there is moisture. However, when Kobe Bryant also stood up and blew Link, everyone had to obey.
After all, Kobe Bryant is not a person who likes commercial touting, and if it weren't for Link's strength that really made him admire, he wouldn't have said those words.
What's more, Link's performance yesterday is obvious to all. If anyone else jumps out today and says that Link can't do the heavy lifting, it's really talking nonsense with their eyes open.
In addition to Kobe's praise for Link, Bynum's vigorous defense in an interview after the game was also hotly discussed by fans.
It's just that Bynum's words were not recognized by the fans, but were frantically complained and ridiculed by the fans.
Someone even put a watermelon peel on the ground on the picture of Bynum being shaken, and then accompanied it with a text, "Really, I really slipped." ”
Bynum is really immature, and indeed, a lot of times, it's hard to tell if a player is shaken down, knocked down or slipped.
But yesterday's Bynum goal was an exception, and it was obviously shaken down because of the unstable center of gravity, and anyone could see it.
In the face of this kind of thing, even if Bynum does not respond, it is better than crazy to defend himself.
Now comfortable, Bynum has not only been successfully selected for the top five, but has also become the object of ridicule from fans all over the world. He successfully made this matter more and more popular, as the so-called digging a pit and jumping by himself.
Looking at these ridiculous news, Link's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment. Yesterday's game was a good time to win.
Link didn't have much time to reflect on last night's victory, though, as he was already on a flight to Denver Highlands. Back-to-back matches have shortened the time for Link to enjoy victory. The thought of a tough battle to be fought tonight made Link unhappy.
Let's wait until we win both games and enjoy them together.
The Denver Nuggets are not a weak team, and their 23-18 record so far this season has put them firmly in the top eight in the West. Great. The rise of Lawson, Gallinari, Farid and others has given the Nuggets the capital to compete with strong teams.
Therefore, although they have just won against the Lakers, the Grizzlies' crisis has not been resolved. The test for Link is not over yet.
※※※
If it is said that after yesterday's game with the Lakers, there was still a stubborn "Lin Hei" spraying Link. Then in today's battle with the Nuggets, Link directly sealed everyone's mouths.
The last time they played the Nuggets, the Grizzlies lost by 1 point, and Link also let Brewer, who is good at counterattacking, score high points.
Today, the Nuggets are just as tough to deal with. As a team without an offensive core and with all the players in the team, the Nuggets are characterized by the fact that every night, there is a person who has the potential to become a superstar. And today, this person is undoubtedly Thai. Lawson is up.
Lawson threw in 18 points and 8 assists today. Several times when the Grizzlies opened the score, Lawson stepped up and stabilized the situation.
So, once again, the game hit a critical moment. In the last 13 seconds of the game, the two sides were tied at 91, and the Grizzlies had the ball.
In the final moments, Link once again showed that he was capable of carrying the team, leaving everyone speechless.
In the final 13 seconds, the Grizzlies set up a three-point shot for Link. Hollins guessed that the Nuggets would definitely defend the basket, after all, the Grizzlies only need one more point to win. So he did the opposite and decided to play three-point shooting.
After all, he has a three-point king who has broken the All-Star three-point contest scoring record.
In the final moments, Link shook off Gallinari with superb off-ball running, and then calmly made a three-point shot in the final 1.8 seconds of intense pressure.
At the same time as the red light flashed on the rebound, the basketball hollowed into the net, and Link beat the Nuggets with three points away, scoring 31 points in the game, leading the Grizzlies to win two consecutive victories!
In the last game against Kobe Bryant, this one stood up and beat the Nuggets. Link's back-to-back performances were perfect.
Now, no one will jump in and question Link's character. It only took him two games to prove that he was worthy of his status in the team.
Grizzlies general manager Chris. Wallace is the owner of the owner Michael. The middle-aged man Wallace, a middle-aged man, screamed with enthusiasm when he saw the scene of Link's successful kill.
Haesley also applauded the moment Link made a successful kill. But it can be seen that this guy's attention is not all on the game,
Today, Haesley specially invited Wallace to watch the game at home, and Wallace still thought it was strange. But throughout the game, neither side communicated anything special.
But as soon as the game ended, Haesley really spoke, "Chris, in fact, I called you here today, I have something to tell you. ”
Wallace wasn't surprised, he knew there must be something else going on with Hesley. But what exactly it was, Wallace had no clue.
"Listen, Michael, if there's anything you say." Wallace nodded, then turned off the TV very knowingly. It's a pity that Wallace couldn't hear Link's post-game interview.
"You know, I'm 75 years old, and I've been in very bad health for the last two years. There are a lot of things around me that make me feel haggard, including basketball. ”
Wallace's heart was shocked, what does this mean!? But instead of interrupting Haesley, he continued to listen.
"Every once in a while, journalists come to me and ask me if the team will trade this, trade that. Every once in a while, I have to worry about the team's revenue. In my first year at the Grizzlies, I lost $40 million. So, I decided to move the grizzly bears to the United States. However, things didn't go as smoothly as I thought they would. But before, I could continue to run my team with my passion and my love for basketball. But now, I don't have that in mind, Chris. When I think about the operation of the team, when I think about the construction of the team, I feel a headache. ”
"So you mean......" Chris. Wallace swallowed, he didn't expect this otherwise ordinary night to become so unusual.
"Last season, the Grizzlies made it to the Western Conference Finals. This season, we've also had super-stars like Link. I can't believe that one day the Grizzlies will have an All-Star starter...... Our market is getting better and better, and the team's market value is soaring. So ......" Haysley paused, and it was clear that he had a hard time saying about this decision.
"So, I decided to take advantage of the moment and resell the team at a high price while the iron is hot. I'm going to quit, Chris. I know we've only been getting better lately, but my body doesn't allow me to play with the team anymore. I thought about it for a long time, and that's my final decision. ”
"Boom!" Chris. Wallace felt his brain suddenly explode, and the boss suddenly said that he was going to sell the team, and as the general manager, he was not mentally prepared for this!
Chris. Wallace doesn't know what's going to happen in the near future, but he's sure it's over.
If the team does change owners, it means that the Grizzlies may usher in huge personnel changes, from management to coaches to players, will be affected.
Hesley's state was the opposite of Wallace's, and the old man smiled peacefully, as if he had let go of a large stone in his heart. Now, he's finally refreshed.
