With 3.51 million votes, the most in NBA history.

He became the All-Star vote winner for three consecutive years and the fourth player in NBA history to achieve this achievement.

These two honors alone are great enough.

What's more, Link is still a striker, and he still has to compete with several people.

In such a situation, 3.51 million votes were obtained, with Stephen . A. Smith's words were, "It's a miracle!" ”

Link's current popularity has made him a superstar.

It turns out that being polite, well-spoken, and good is not a label that fans love.

Whether it's Jordan, Bird, James, Kobe, they are popular because they can win, not because they are polite!

And now, Link and the Grizzlies are undoubtedly the best in the league.

When the black and white bears have fallen, people think that the grizzly bears will have a low ebb. Link immediately used a wave of two consecutive victories to gag everyone's mouths.

Adam. Jokes to see Link become the NBA All-Star all-time vote leader, there is no longer any embarrassment. After all, he's used to Link breaking league records one league after another.

Now, the joke can only hope that next season's new voting rules will bring out a new face of the league.

The news that Link broke the All-Star record for the most votes and became the All-Star vote champion for the third year in a row swept the entire basketball world.

Everyone is talking about Link, and everyone is amazed at Link's dominance.

. T TV even did a halfway summary of the regular season from Link's point of view.

"With 30 wins and 6 losses, the Memphis Grizzlies once again occupy the first place in the West. I know the Grizzlies have been No. 1 in the West for two seasons in a row. You're definitely used to the Grizzlies' current standings and don't think it's a big deal to be first in the West. But this is a big mistake, and the Grizzlies have been able to hold on to the No. 1 position in the West despite this extremely volatile situation this year, and the Grizzlies are really remarkable. ”

On the TV screen, Charles. Sir Fliggy. Barkley began to talk. On the big electronic screen behind him, the Western Conference standings so far this season and the detailed records of each team appeared.

On the record list, the Golden State Warriors, who are currently 27-6, are in second place in the West because they have played three fewer games than the Grizzlies and have lost to the Grizzlies.

The Portland Trail Blazers, who are third in the West, currently have a 27-8 record.

The top three teams in the West have not lost in double digits!

The Warriors and Trail Blazers, in any previous season, have been good enough to dominate the first spot in the West.

It's just a pity that now, the Memphis Grizzlies are crushing on their heads. Moreover, both teams have lost to the Grizzlies.

Link's existence has turned the already difficult west into hell!

"If the league were to pick a halfway MVP, it would have to be Link. 36 games, 11 triple-doubles, 30 wins...... No, I'm sure that even if he chooses the MVP for the whole season, Link will definitely be able to win it for a second time. He was the unanimous MVP last season, and this year, if LeBron and his Cavaliers can't catch up with the Hawks, then Link is going to win another unanimous MVP, and I wouldn't be surprised. ”

"Speaking of LeBron, he's definitely the most disappointing star in the half. Currently, the Cavaliers have a 19-17 record. With such results, I can't even squeeze into the top five in the west. In people's expectations, the knight should be the presence of the grizzly bear. But at present, the two teams are very far apart. ”

"If LeBron wants to beat Link, he has to get serious from the regular season. If he wants to make another effort in the playoffs, it will be too late. But then again, not to mention the Grizzlies now, any team in the top eight in the West is not easy to deal with......

. In the past, halfway through the regular season was generally summarized from the perspective of multiple teams.

But this year, almost all of the conversation revolved around Link.

In the midst of Link's popularity, only a handful of people saw a new announcement on the Grizzlies' official website.

Zack. Randolph is about to return to action in the next game.

When Link saw Randolph on the training ground the next day, the fat black man had anticipation written all over his face.

Since the beginning of the season, Randolph has been sitting on the sidelines in a suit every night, and Link believes that the guy must have had an itchy hand for a long time.

He is now like a great white shark that smells blood, and he just wants to pounce on his prey immediately, and immediately pounce on the game.

"Zach, did they finally allow you to leave your mother's arms?" Tony. Allen looked at Randolph, who was practicing shooting, and couldn't help but tease.

"Shut up Tony, when Uncle Zach comes back, you're just going to get up from the bench and scream every night." Randolph responded mercilessly, and that's how he and his teammates expressed their feelings.

"Now, as long as Mark is fit, we're complete. It's really rare, and I really want to see how far we can go when we get back healthy. "Link didn't join Randolph and Tony. Aaron's "flirting" is full of longing for the future.

With 30 wins and 6 losses, that looks like a great result indeed.

But at the same time last season, the Grizzlies had a terrifying 34-2 record!

Don't underestimate the difference of 4 wins, sometimes the difference between the first and third divisions is only 4 wins.

Link just wants everyone to keep up the good work and keep up a great season.

At his regular press conference in the afternoon, Link also told reporters and fans about this expectation.

"You guys must have been waiting for Zack for a long time, right? Do you think Zach's return will bring any changes to the Grizzlies? At today's press conference, reporters naturally focused on Randolph's return, so they asked Link a question related to Randolph.

"Change? Probably going to make us get a few more technical fouls. Link shrugged, and Randolph, who was sitting beside him waiting to be praised, barely spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Okay, I was just kidding. Seriously, I'm glad Zach is back. We've been on track lately, and Zach's return has certainly given us another boost and allowed us to move forward even faster. I'm ready for another winning streak and Zach can definitely help. ”

Hearing Link say this, Randolph's eyes finally became gentle.

Everyone believes in Link, and they also believe that Randolph's return will help the Grizzlies reach the next level.

But good wishes are often not so easy to achieve.

In Randolph's first game after his return, the Grizzlies played the Pelicans on Jan. 9.

Facing Anthony, who is already an All-Star starter. Davis and Randolph played 34 minutes and scored only 9 points. And Anthony. Davis recorded a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Randolph was at a loss on both ends of the floor, but the Grizzlies were more efficient when they switched to a lineup of one big and four small.

Although the Grizzlies still outscored the opponent 106-95, there is no doubt that this was not the kind of win that fans were hoping for.

Of course, people also think that Anthony. Davis was too strong for Randolph indeed. There are few players in this league who are better than Davis at the No. 4 position.

Everyone believes that Randolph will definitely come up with it in the next game

On January 11, the Grizzlies host the Phoenix Suns.

In this game, Suns power forward is Markieff. Morris. It is generally believed that there is no big problem for Randolph to take Morris.

As a result, the problem is huge.

Morris scored 27 points on 11-of-16 shooting from the field with a staggering 68.8 percent shooting percentage.

Randolph is like a rookie now, and his bulky body seems to be unable to adapt to the current rhythm. Whether he is defending or grabbing boards, he seems to be half a beat slower than others.

Although the Grizzlies still slaughtered the Suns, there is no doubt that Randolph is completely overturned.

Link's vision of a bright future at the press conference did not materialize on Randolph.

In fact, even Link didn't expect Randolph to be in this state. It's not just the game form, but Randolph's training form is terrible as well.

So, not surprisingly, after the game, the "big black bear" fell into the media's verbal criticism.

The future doesn't seem so rosy.
