Ahead of the Christmas game, photos of the Grizzlies players partying were posted on social media by Gasol.

For a time, they became the computer wallpapers of countless Memphis people.

Link's group photo is indeed very different from the ordinary sense of the player's group photo, and the "gangsterism" displayed by the Grizzlies is very in line with the team's villain temperament.

In fact, this photo is full of bizarre not only because everyone is wearing a suit and holding a cigar, nor is it just because of the black and white filter.

It's because the group of people who took pictures didn't look like good people in the first place.

Needless to say, Randolph was never associated with the word "good guy".

Old Carter, who has a cigar in his hand, also has a somewhat "old society" look.

Even Dravedova, who wears a pair of sunglasses, looks like a mafia. Of course, he is more like a bodyguard next to the big guy.

Not to mention Link, who is sitting in the middle, ESPN's "number one league is not easy to mess with", if you don't have a bit of villain temperament, you really can't suppress this title.

What's more, there is a blatant footnote of "Memphis Gang" written at the bottom of this photo, and those who don't know it think it is a movie still called "Memphis Gang".

The photo was loved by fans, not just in Memphis, but around the globe and caused a frenzy of reprints.

Fans even called it "the most classic group photo in Grizzlies history."

But the league certainly doesn't like this kind of "negative" photo together, and the Grizzlies and Link are now like the naughtiest kids in the class.

But the most annoying thing is that this most naughty child is still the best student......

It's really not easy to joke that this "head teacher" wants to be punished.

No, immediately after the Christmas party, the Grizzlies had another victory.

On Dec. 23, the Grizzlies face the Utah Jazz, who are currently 8-20 at home.

After three quarters of battle that wasn't too intense, the Grizzlies easily let the Jazz get closer to the No. 1 pick.

The Jazz lineup has actually begun to take shape, with Hayward, Gobert, Ingles, Hood, Favors and other powerful players all in the lineup.

But if this lineup wants to exert its power, I am afraid it will take a few more years to grow.

Facing the Jazz, who have not yet grown up, the Grizzlies players are also comfortable coping with it even if they just went to the party last night. It only took more than three quarters to decide the winner.

Link went off the court halfway through the third quarter, with 24 points, five rebounds and six assists.

If it's only one or two stats away from the triple, Link might really go up and brush it up in garbage time.

But with the data still far behind, Link also gave up on the idea of scraping data in garbage time.

He's not Ricky. Davis, anyway, there are more chances to get a triple-double in the future.

Besides, Link is now the No. 1 player in the league on the record of consecutive triple-doubles, so there's no need to hold on to it.

As a result, Link's record of consecutive triple-doubles was officially interrupted in this game, and it was fixed at 10 games.

But even so, it was thought to be a record that could hardly be broken.

Unless there is a data brush like Chamberlain's in the future, or Link himself breaks the record.

Otherwise, there is a good chance that the record will remain sealed forever.

While Link's streak of triple-doubles was interrupted, it didn't feel like Link's days of wreaking havoc on the league would ever follow.

After the Grizzlies' victory over the Jazz, they have won the longest straight game of the season with nine in a row!

And because on the same day, the Golden State Warriors also lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.

In other words, the Grizzlies were able to return to the first place in the West after nearly a month!

The promise Link made when he made his comeback, he has fulfilled it all

Not only did he lead the team to win the Warriors, but he also quickly regained the first place in the West. During this period, so many records were broken.

The Warriors' magic has been overshadowed by the Grizzlies, who haven't lost since Link's return, as if the league couldn't find anyone to stop the Grizzlies.

Now, all eyes are on the Houston Rockets.

At the Christmas War, they were the only hope of stopping the Grizzlies from winning 10 in a row and continuing to wreak havoc.

※※※

When it comes to the Houston Rockets, people will think of Link's god-like 63 points in a single game.

If you had to pick one of the biggest backdrops of the season so far, the Rockets would definitely be the champions. Because when it comes to the Rockets, Harden, Howard and McHale all have to rank behind Link's 63 points.

As a result, many people forget that the total score of the Rockets and Grizzlies this season is actually 1-1, and both sides have won each other once, and they have not shown a one-sided trend.

It's just that the time the Rockets won, Link didn't play.

But that doesn't mean the Rockets won't be able to beat the Grizzlies with Link, after all, they're one of the few teams in the league that haven't lost more than double digits.

So far, the Rockets have a record of 20 wins and 7 losses, second only to the Grizzlies and Warriors, the two "perverts", and rank third in the West.

After an early season run-in, the Rockets began to work hard, and in December they went on a six-game winning streak and found their way to win.

Howard is becoming more and more blue-collar, while James. Harden gets more fire.

In such a situation, Harden lived up to expectations and played supergiant data.

So far in December, Harden is averaging 30.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.

He and Curry are the biggest obstacles to Link's back-to-back monthly monthly awards.

Harden, who has shown a supergiant state, and Link, who has killed all sides after his comeback, are completely worthy of a stage like the Christmas War.

Of course, the Rockets also know that it will be difficult for the Rockets to compete with Link with Harden alone.

When Link scored 63 points, it was because the Rockets' forward line was so weak that there was almost no one available except Ariza.

As a result, poor Zaza was beaten up by Link.

The Houstonians are well aware that if they really want to make a difference this season, they will have to improve their roster against the Grizzlies.

So the day before the start of the Christmas War, on Christmas Eve, the Houston Rockets suddenly announced a piece of news that caught people off guard.

"Josh, who was just cut by the Detroit Pistons on December 23. Smith, received a one-year contract with the Rockets. The two sides signed a lightning sign, and McHale said that Josh will be directly on the stage in the next day's Christmas fight! ”

As soon as this news came out, the Christmas battle between the Grizzlies and the Rockets seemed to have another highlight!

After signing a big contract with Detroit, Josh didn't play as much as he deserved. Finally, Big Van Gundy couldn't bear it anymore and cut Josh, who had two years left on his contract worth 26 million.

The rest of his salary, the Pistons will pay in five-year installments.

Although Josh proved to be unable to be a star in the Pistons, he was unable to be a good leader. But the Rockets signed him to play as a substitute, which is completely more than enough!

After all, just a year or two ago, Josh was considered one of the best small forwards in the league.

Now that the Rockets have taken Josh, it will undoubtedly greatly supplement their combat power, especially the combat power of the flanks!

McHale wanted Josh to appear so soon, and it was obviously to deal with Link!

It was at this juncture that Tony. Allen has just been revealed to have suffered a right corneal abrasion in training.

That said, the Grizzlies will be missing a strong bench wing in their next game.

Ariza and Josh teamed up, plus Tony. Allen's accidental injury, all of which add up, seems to have really solved the rocket's flanking problem perfectly.

The Rockets' victory over the Grizzlies with Link no longer seems to be a low-probability event.

Adam, President of the Alliance. The joke then announced that he would be visiting the Federal Express Arena on Christmas Day to watch the Grizzlies and Rockets play.

He seemed to want to witness the whole process of the grizzly bear being forced to stop its rampage......
