254: Behemoth Tamer

By the end of the first quarter, the Kings had fallen into despair. The offense couldn't score, the defense couldn't defend, and the Kings couldn't find a single player who performed well throughout the first quarter. 6 people each took a little point, and it was not easy to make up enough 21 points......

On the Grizzlies' side, Link alone scored 12 points, which is more than Cousins and Evans combined. The Kings, like the Timberwolves, have great talent but always make jokes on the basketball court.

However, it is not Sacramento fans who are most worried at this time, after all, they are used to losing. At this time, the most worried and feared are Clippers fans! They're really scared of Link overtaking in corners and getting the All-Star starter.

In all fairness, Link did outperform Griffin during this period. After Paul's injury during this time, Griffin didn't eat so smoothly with his pie, and all kinds of low shooting percentages came out.

On the contrary, it is Link, it seems that the data of each game is "mediocre", but people are stable, the data and hit rate will not collapse, basically every game is 20+5+5.

Griffin managed to play a little more decently in the last game, but I'm afraid he will be crushed by Link again today.

Fear, what the Grizzlies bring to the Sacramentos and Angelenos is nothing but fear.

But this is like a villain.

In the second quarter of the game, the Grizzlies continued to rise. Battier, who came off the bench, came off the bench and shot 4 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and Fredette was stunned by the 3 of 4 shots outside the three-point line.

In the third quarter, Gasol Jr. pressed Cousins to the ground and rubbed hard. He has never been known for scoring points, but he scored 11 points in a single quarter, turning the irascible Cousins around. In terms of brains, Gasol Jr. is indeed better than Cousins.

In the third quarter, the Kings simply only had 2 people with scoring data, and the others scored all 0 in the column. Cousins made 0 of 3 shots, Fredette made 0 of 2 shots, and Thomas Jr. made 0 of 4 shots.

Miserable!

In the final moments of the third quarter, Link finished the last offense with his trademark cross-step shot.

After the goal, the entire Memphis fans stood and cheered. With 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Link scored 30 points in the third quarter of the game, and Griffin said he was ashamed.

At 30 minutes in the third quarter, Link responded to Blake yesterday in an extremely tough way. Griffin's 18 points! If you want me to comment, I'm sure I'm more qualified to play as an All-Star starter! Griffin was like a kid who couldn't find his mother after Paul's injury, head-on. But Link, however, always knows what he has to do on the basketball court! Hurry up and vote guys, the All-Star Game needs this kind of good starter! ”

Hubi. Brown blew hard, no way, this game was really good. From the first verse, there was no suspense until now. The Kings were already trailing by 25 points at this point, and the game had gone into garbage time.

In the third quarter, the Kings scored only 16 points, which means that even if the Grizzlies don't score a point in the fourth quarter, the Kings may not be able to close the score.

The Memphis Grizzlies are now playing effortlessly against these lotto teams! On the other hand, the Clippers and Griffin are still overturning on the head of the Timberwolves!

After the start of the fourth quarter, Link sat directly on the bench and rested. Today he wanted to get some time off, that's why he worked so hard in the first three quarters.

The dense schedule has caused injuries of varying degrees on all teams, and Randolph on the Grizzlies' side has only just returned.

In order to protect yourself, this kind of game that can not play in the fourth quarter is resolutely not played! From the very beginning, the three-quarter check-in was Link's goal.

"Ready to be an All-Star starter?" Off the bench, Randolph looked more excited than Link.

"That's not for sure, Zach." Link smiled and waved his hand, the fans' affection was beyond his control.

"Can't tell? The last time the results were announced, you were only 5,000 votes away from Griffin. Do you know? If successful, you'll be the first All-Star starter in Grizzlies history! That's another all-time team record, Link. Randolph had a serious expression, apparently not joking with Link.

Paul. Gasol was an All-Star, but he was only an All-Star off the bench during his time with the Grizzlies. The same can be said of Randolph, who has never enjoyed the treatment of starting an All-Star Game. As for Conley, this poor guard is in the West, and he can't even squeeze into the All-Star bench.

Link suddenly felt this solemnity, he was carrying not only himself, but also the glory of the whole team.

Don't look at Randolph's day giggling, he actually cares a lot about the development of Grizzlies and Link. If Link can become the Grizzlies' first All-Star starter, Randolph believes that this will be a big breakthrough for both the Grizzlies and Link!

Link now knows why Randolph said something like "I'll walk back to the locker room on a handstand if Link doesn't score more than 18 points", maybe he wasn't just trying to be funny, but wanted to force Link secretly.

This guy is really benevolent for the grizzly bear.

"I'm going to go to All-Star Weekend with our pride and honor, Zach. Tomorrow, let's wait and see the results. Link stretched out his arm and bumped into Randolph.

After 12 minutes, the game was over. 128-95, the Grizzlies ruthlessly bloodied the Kings by 33 points at home!

This is the highest single-game scoring game for the Grizzlies so far this season! Of course, it is also the game where the score difference is the largest.

Link didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter, so the stats were still 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. In addition, Guy also scored 23 points and Conley scored 22. Gasol Jr. 20 points...... Including Link, the Grizzlies have a total of 4 players scoring 20 points today.

For some teams, players in a certain position may become ATMs. But the king is very strange, the whole team is an ATM!

Cousins, who had 19 points and 11 rebounds, but was blown up by Gasol Jr. in the second half, did not forget to hug Link after the game. But it's clear that the guy's expression isn't as joyful as in the first half.

"I shouldn't have said that, Link." While hugging Link, Cousins shook his head.

"What?"

"I shouldn't have said I supported you, but now I'm rooting for you."

"Hahahaha, should I say thank you then?" After Link, he tugged at Cousins' headband, "Keep it up man, one day we'll start together at the All-Star Games." ”

The reporters were stunned, they actually pulled Cousins' headband, isn't Link afraid of being beaten!? Who would dare to interact with Cousins like this!

However, Cousins didn't react at all, just shrugged his shoulders.

There are currently two people in this league who will never have to be afraid of being beaten by Cousins, one is Cousins' college teammate John Bush. Wall, the other one is Link.

Watching Link make Cousins incredibly docile, watching Link outperform Griffin's wild beast in performance, the ESPN reporter suddenly came up with a headline.

And this headline eventually appeared in the newspapers of the major media the next day.

"Link the Behemoth Tamer, Will Wait for His Fate".

There are only three hours left before the NBA All-Star starting lineup is announced.
