651: Is there a kind or not?

The Grizzlies' game against the Kings has reached the final moments. Cousins frowned, arguing with the referee on the court.

For such a picture, Kings coach Mike . Malone is no longer surprised. If Cousins suddenly behaves on the court one day, that's not normal.

As the player with the most technical fouls so far this season, Cousins will not miss any opportunity to challenge the referee.

He yelled at the referee, signaling that Gasol's defense had actually been fouled. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to skip that goal.

Cousins looked anxious, as if he wanted to pull the video out of his pants. No way, Cousins was so bad today.

He still wanted to prove himself, but the referee ignored it and insisted on his decision.

Link shook his head on the bench, Cousins, that guy, still likes to mess around so much.

It was not a few minutes before the end of the game, but Cousins only had 9 points, 1 assist and 5 rebounds. There's no doubt that Cousins wants to get the stats back before the game is over.

Just managed to get an offensive opportunity, but missed due to Gasol's tight interference, can Cousins not be in a hurry?

If he can't score again, Cousins will have to face the embarrassment of not being able to score in a single game.

The fact that you can't score a double in a single game is actually not embarrassing in itself. After all, most players in the NBA league can't score three points per game.

But Cousins, unlike the other players, is the heart of the Kings. If you play as a core and you can't score a double-double, it's really a bit of a stretch.

Seeing that the referee still insisted on his decision, Cousins scolded in displeasure.

The referee showed no mercy and gave Cousins a technical foul. At this time, Cousins can be regarded as consolidating his position as the "first person to commit technical fouls".

With just nine points at the core, Cousins was completely locked up by Gasol. It can be seen that the king's condition is not much better.

If Link had been benched in the final moments of the fourth quarter, there was only one possibility, and the game had gone into garbage time.

Cousins was furious and impulsive by Gasol's solid defense today. As a result, the Grizzlies effortlessly threw the game into garbage time.

Link sat on the bench and prepared for the longest ten-game winning streak in Grizzlies history.

After defeating the Raptors on the 13th, the Grizzlies remained unstoppable, as most people expected.

They first easily defeated the Lakers without Kobe, and today there is only a little more than a minute left to win the king.

Undefeated in the first ten games, it's just a hand!

On the court, Cousins is still struggling. He was struggling with himself, and he didn't believe he couldn't hit the last shot.

And Cousins' own behavior against himself completely undermined the Kings' system. The more anxious he was, the more he was eaten to death by the steady Gasol.

So, the last thing Cousins wanted to experience happened.

At the end of the game, Cousins looked up at the big screen. 102-86, the Grizzlies won comfortably on the road.

Link was out early to rest, so he only scored 19 points today. But at the same time, Link also contributed eight rebounds and nine assists, still cutting a near-triple-double.

Gasol was the highest scorer on the Grizzlies team today, with 22 points and 10 rebounds to kill the Kings' hopes of a comeback.

As for Cousins, he doesn't even want to see more of this statistic.

9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, as a No. 5 player, shooting only 36.4%.

Not just Cousins, the Kings didn't score in double figures for any of their starters today, and all four of them came from the bench......

As if the Kings were deliberately giving the Grizzlies the best start record, the Grizzlies set another all-time record before they could make a move.

After the game, Cousins was clearly very angry and angry with himself. Without a doubt, it was the worst game he has ever played this season.

"Damn, I shouldn't have let you win so easily, damn it! That abominable Spaniard, I hate him! ”

Cousins naturally couldn't throw fire at Link, so he had to complain about Gasol in front of Link.

Link smiled awkwardly, Gasol has such a good personality, Cousins can compete with him, and there is no one.

After a few more conversations, Cousins also left the court. Now, Link belongs to the "hungry" journalists.

"Link, the team has the best start in team history with 10 games unbeaten. How long do you think your undefeated golden body will last? ”

"I can't answer you with the exact number, but we'll certainly do our best to keep the record going."

"Link, do you think you have a chance to break the 14-game winning streak set by the Dallas Mavericks in 2002? As we all know, it was the best start to the league in the 21st century. ”

"We're not built to break records, but we're going to try." Link smiled and nodded, his answer was actually no different from the previous one.

The reporters were starting to get bored, and if they continued like this, they wouldn't be able to dig up any hot topics when Link was gone.

So the last question, a black reporter threw out the topic that has been the most hotly discussed in the past two days.

"Link, ever since you made that 360-degree turn dunk against the Raptors, the internet has been getting louder and louder about you participating in the slam dunk contest. However, many people say that you are actually afraid to participate in the slam dunk contest, how do you respond? ”

This question did catch Link's attention, as Link himself had been following the topic for the past two days.

Although it is still a long time before All-Star Weekend, the topic of Link's participation in the slam dunk contest has been hot for the past two days.

However, many people believe that Link is afraid to participate in the slam dunk contest. In fact, not only Link, but many superstars who have become famous are afraid to participate in the slam dunk contest.

The list of participants in the occasional star-studded dunk contest didn't really shine much at the time. Because even if there is a superstar in the slam dunk contest, it will be before he becomes completely famous.

For example, Vince. When Carter participated in the slam dunk contest, he was actually just a second-year rookie. Although it is true that he brought the slam dunk contest back into the limelight, it was also the slam dunk contest that made Carter and made his popularity soar.

Kobe Bryant had just entered the league when he participated in the slam dunk contest, and at that time, he was definitely not a star with an average of only 7.6 points per game, and people also thought that the league was just looking for someone to play sloppy.

If you want to say that after really becoming famous, you will still participate in the slam dunk contest, and it is estimated that only the "helper" Jordan will be the "helper".

Although Jordan's heyday was in the '90s, in '87 and '88, Jordan was already a superstar player to be reckoned with in the league.

In '87, Jordan averaged a terrible 37.1 points per game, was the league's leading scorer, and was also an All-Star starter.

Not to mention '88, when Jordan was the MVP, breaking the Magic and Bird's domination of the league. Even so, he still participated in the slam dunk contest.

However, after Jordan, there are few players who are so famous who also participate in the slam dunk contest. Dwight. Howard counted one, but his coffee position at the time was certainly not comparable to Jordan. James has been yelling for years that he wants to participate, but so far he has only been addicted.

There are many reasons why superstars are reluctant or afraid to participate in the slam dunk contest.

First of all, most people only use the slam dunk contest as a springboard to fame, relying on the dunk contest to attract attention and accumulate popularity. There are countless players who have gained popularity that does not match their strength because of the slam dunk contest.

But for superstars who are already well-known, there is no need to participate just for the sake of popularity.

Secondly, superstars are also afraid of losing. What a shame it would be to lose to an unknown young guy in the slam dunk contest. If you lose, it will definitely be a career failure.

Of course, there are also reasons such as the fear of getting hurt and not wanting to waste energy on the slam dunk contest. However, the biggest reason is the above two.

Link is now the No. 1 player in ESPN's top 50 stars of the new season, and is last season's overall champion, FMVP. Of course, he is also the favorite for MVP this season. If I have to say, Link's current coffee position is comparable to Jordan's when he participated in the slam dunk contest that year.

Therefore, many people think that Link is afraid to participate in the slam dunk contest. The current players don't have the same kind of Jordan's generation.

Faced with this question, Link just smiled perfunctorily, "I don't know if I will participate, maybe wait until the alliance sends me an invitation." ”

Link really hasn't thought about the slam dunk contest right now, but he doesn't resist it in his heart. Due to his limited athleticism before, now that he has gained strong athletic ability, Link enjoys the thrill of dunking very much.

But Link didn't expect that his honest answer would make him a "soft egg" infamy.
