The day before the start of the high-profile Western Conference Finals between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, under the watchful eyes of fans, Link successfully detonated the entire world basketball world.

In the NBA's official All-NBA list, Link will be the scoring champion Kevin Brown. Durant squeezed out and was successfully selected to the best first team!

The five named to the All-NBA First Team are Paul, Harden, Link, James and Noah.

Although in the selection of the All-Star starting lineup, the league has eliminated the center position, and only divided the front court and the back court.

However, in the selection of the best team, the tradition of two backcourts, two frontcourts and one center forward is still retained. This rule has not been changed since 1989.

So, Durant lost out in a stiff competition with Link and James. If anything, Durant is indeed more qualified to be on the first team than Bulls center Noah. But it can't be helped, who made Durant be divided into the talent-rich forward line?

And in this era of scarcity of centers, even if Noah's stats are not outstanding, it is enough to make him a first-team All-Tournament team.

As soon as the results were announced, both Durant and Link made NBA history.

But Link believes that Durant will certainly not be too happy with what he has achieved.

After losing the best team this time, Durant became the tenth player in NBA history to become the scoring champion but not selected for the best team after Anthony last season.

For Durant, that's really nothing to be thankful for.

But Link is different, he was selected as the best team, becoming the third star in NBA history to win MVP, best defensive player and double team at the same time in a single season after Jordan and Olajuwon, two great stars!

At the same time, he also became the fourth player in the active league in addition to Paul, Howard and James to be selected for the double team year after year!

Link is on par with Jordan and Olajuwon, which is undoubtedly a very gimmicky topic. Link's popularity alone has even overshadowed the Western Conference Finals itself.

Durant must be the saddest person during this time, losing the MVP, losing the game, and now he can't even get into the best first team, creating a "mileage sadness", which is really miserable enough. Durant is quite uncomfortable, and he can be described as a complete defeat to Link this year.

So far, the results of the NBA regular season awards for the 13-14 season have all been announced. This year, almost all of the important awards were accepted by the Grizzlies.

They were like a bunch of bandits, harvesting all the riches they saw along the way.

The Grizzlies have played very well so far this season. And they are just one step away from perfection - the overall championship!

As long as the Grizzlies can win the championship this year, then this may be the most successful season in the history of the Grizzlies, and even in the history of the NBA!

When interviewed by reporters that afternoon, Link's answer was quite firm, "We are ready to deal with it, tomorrow night's game, we Spurs will take advantage!" ”

Looking at Link's serious attitude, the reporters were a little surprised. They had expected that Link would be quite relaxed in the face of the aging Spurs. After all, the whole world knows that Link's biggest opponent is the Thunder, Durant.

The biggest opponents are already out of the tournament early, shouldn't they breathe a sigh of relief?

Besides, Link has just made history. Now, people say he can match Jordan and Olajuwon! If ordinary players had received such praise, they would have drifted long ago.

But instead of relaxing, Link showed a rigorous side.

So, what do you think of ESPN's approval rating survey? As far as I know, there's only one state in the nation that supports the Grizzlies to win, and that's Tennessee. As it turns out, fans would rather like to see the Grizzlies' dynasty collapse. Do you feel pressured about this? The reporter then continued to ask questions and brought out the results of the best support rate survey.

Faced with this question, Link's tense face finally showed a smile, "If the approval rating can be linked to the win rate, we may be eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round." I would be surprised if there were more people supporting me one day. Pressure? It doesn't exist, and the more people don't want to see the grizzlies win, the more I want to win. So, thank you for giving me a lot of strength in this approval rating survey. ”

"Cut, childish idiot."

At this time, Popovich, who was staying at his hotel in Memphis, was watching the live broadcast of the press conference.

Seeing Link's face that was not afraid of heaven and earth, Popovich was disgusted.

He has faith in his team and his tactics, and Link is just like Durant, just a milky little devil.

Popovich promises that he will show the Grizzlies what a true champion is!

His small lineup is just enough to restrain the Grizzlies' twin-tower lineup. It shouldn't be too hard to fight!

As for Link...... Popovich believed that the guy, who was more silent than Duncan, would get him.

The old thief is full of confidence, and the Grizzlies' fantastic season will be completely shattered by the Spurs!

When the time comes, he will see if Link can face all this so calmly.

Link took a shower after training and was about to leave, for some reason, he had achieved a very remarkable achievement, but he just couldn't get excited.

Those various titles, what the most XXX players in history, can indeed contribute to a player's career.

But at the end of the day, for a star to become great, the championship is still the most important metric.

With the Spurs game just around the corner, Link is full of tomorrow's game, and there is no "salary space" left in his head for joy.

Only after defeating the Spurs and taking the Heat for the second time will Link reckon he will be really excited.

After changing his clothes, Link walked out of the locker room. But when he passed by the training gym, he found that Jimmy. Butler is still practicing on the basketball court.

"Jimmy, there's a game tomorrow, let's go!" Link stopped and yelled at Butler in the arena.

"There are 100 more shots, I'll leave when I'm done!" Butler waved at Link and continued to shoot.

Surprisingly, after being interrupted by Link, Butler's hand was still hot, and he scored 10 more in a row before striking iron.

Link shook his head and left alone.

This team may also only have Jimmy. Butler's stay and practice is the most reassuring. Because that guy's physical fitness, like water in the ocean, will never dry up.

Even if you practice late, Butler will be there for you the next day with a lot of energy.

After all, in the original history, he was a player who was still strong after 48 minutes of Thibodeau's death.

Link's physical fitness is excellent in the league, however, Link thinks Butler's physical fitness is better than him!

At least let Link play for 48 minutes without a minute, Link can't do it.

It's good for Butler to find his form in advance today, after all, tomorrow will be the first time in that kid's career that he will start in the Western Conference Finals!

With the Grizzlies' roster so healthy this year, Butler has barely been given a chance to start.

Tomorrow, in the face of an important game, but suddenly got a chance, Butler naturally wants to seize it!

So, he was crazy about tempering himself tonight. One is to get a good night's sleep, and the other is to stay in good shape.

Seeing Butler work so hard, Link is even more confident about tomorrow's game.

Popovich must have thought he was going to eat the grizzly bear, so let's see!

On May 20, 2014, in Tennessee, the only blue piece of land on ESPN's approval rating geographic survey, the 13-14 season of the Western Conference Championship finally began!

74 wins over Grizzlies vs 62 wins over Spurs, this is undoubtedly a strong conversation. Not only the fans, but also the two sides themselves can't wait for the game to start quickly.

The Spurs fielded the same lineup today as in the Western Conference semifinals, with Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan and Split being the Spurs' starting five.

It seems that this lineup is so mediocre. But in fact, except for Split, the other four are very strong players, even if they are taken out alone. Split can't be called strong, but it's not weak either, to be honest.

However, Popovich was well aware that it was just a fake starter. Once the Grizzlies get used to the traditional rhythm of the game, he'll suddenly send in Burres. Dior, disrupt the Grizzlies' defense in one fell swoop! When the time comes, the black and white bears will instead become a burden to the Grizzlies.

At this time, the Grizzlies' starting five tigers also stepped onto the court. Then, before the match had even begun, Popovich's eyes widened.

Grizzly disrupted his plans!

On the Grizzlies' side, they actually changed their starters for the first time! Joggel removed Randolph and replaced it with Jimmy. Butler replaced.

As soon as it opened, the Grizzlies put on a lineup of one big and four small!

"The Grizzlies have changed their formation, this is really a once-in-a-century encounter! But why remove Randolph? Is he hurt? The narrator was puzzled by this, he didn't know what the grizzly was trying to do.

Link winked from Butler, and then waited!

Today Link is going to let the Bobo thief know what it means to strike first!

The referee blew the whistle and Mark. Gasol got the ball first for the Grizzlies.
