Reverse Growth Superstar

On Monday, the All-League game was suspended to allow players participating in the All-Star Game to return to their home team. Link and Gasol left Orlando at noon on Monday.

Just before getting on the plane, Link also received a text message from Rachel, "Don't let me dove in summer, I'll wait for your call."

Speaking of it, Link didn't expect Rachel to come yesterday. It was past 12 midnight, and Link was afraid to interrupt Rachel's rest.

Unexpectedly, when he heard that it was Link, Rachel readily agreed to the invitation. This led to little Gasol complaining in bed today, "Okay you, secretly put me away, it turns out that I went to find a female partner."

Link is speechless, obviously you are going to talk to the European folks about planting potatoes...

In any case, the All-Star Weekend is over, and Link has put all his mind back in the regular season.

While on the plane, Link has been paying attention to personnel changes before the trading deadline. However, this year's mid-term transaction is really thunderous and rainy.

Before the trade deadline, the media was everywhere that Beasley wanted to join the Lakers, the Nuggets were peddling, and were preparing to pull a third party to get Cousins. Even Deron and the Lakers are involved.

In short, the Lakers are always the protagonist in the mid-term deal each year. But apart from Gasol's last time, there was basically nothing really done.

This is also the case this year. Before the deadline, the media all YY, the result? The Lakers did make a move, but they only traded Fisher to Sessions. The Nuggets did make a move, but it was not Cousins, but another center JaVale McGee who had a bad brain.

As far as the deal is the most successful, Link thinks it is the Spurs. On the Spurs' side, they successfully dumped Richard Jefferson and exchanged for the old hero "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson. This kind of transaction may seem tepid, but the improvement to the Spurs' strength is obvious.

Richard Jefferson has proven that he does not fit the Spurs' style, and he also doesn't like San Antonio, playing very unhappy. And Jackson, but Popovich's old men back then, he can seamlessly connect to the Spurs system.

This kind of transaction is the real wise transaction. The Spurs know what they need, so they can always get the most suitable players.

The Warriors changed the most. They sent out Monta Ellis and got the Australian champion Bogut from the Bucks. The point of this deal is not to change Ellis to Bogut, but to represent the Warriors will formally build a team with Curry as the core! This is a deal that changes the direction of the entire team.

Therefore, Link believes that this transaction is the most volatile.

Other than that, there are basically no deals worth talking about. In the middle of the season, most teams still seek stability. In the absence of major loopholes, personnel changes are generally not made.

After understanding the changes before the trade deadline, Link looked at the schedule for the next few days. Fortunately, after the All-Star Game, the schedule was more moderate. The opponents are not very strong, and the density of the game is acceptable, allowing the Grizzlies players to gradually re-adapt to the game after the 7-day "Golden Week".

Looking at it, Link gradually felt a little heavy on his eyelids. He simply closed his eyes and rested for a while, but in the afternoon, he had to start sweating for the regular season enthusiastically.

"Congratulations Link, the champion of the three-point contest, great!"

As soon as he returned to the training hall, Link was congratulated by his teammates. Hollins first came up to hug Link, followed by Randolph, Conley, Tony Allen...

Although I had a lot of fun in the All-Star Game, I also made a lot of friends. But it wasn't until he returned to Memphis that Link felt a "home" feeling.

Only here does he feel the most comfortable and the most hardworking.

After embracing the coaches and teammates one by one, the daily training started step by step. This year the Grizzlies’ goal is still the top four in the Western Conference, but don’t underestimate this goal. If they do achieve it, then this will be the best ranking in the Grizzlies team history.

In the afternoon's confrontational training, in the serious defense of Jimmy Butler and Tony teacher, Link also quickly adapted to the intensity of the regular season and entered the sprint state.

The opponents are still staring at each other, but they can't be weak in the future.

After the All-Star Game, the Grizzlies were well-rested in an unexpectedly good state.

In the last game in February, the Grizzlies ushered at home to the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, who eliminated them from the playoffs last season.

Although the Mavericks are the defending champions, due to problems such as summer operations and the aging of the team, their strength has declined compared to last season. Therefore, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Mavericks 96-85 at home, and Nowitzki only scored 5 points in the game. Even he passed the golden age of the gods.

The Grizzlies made a good start, and the regular season officially entered March.

After entering the final sprint time, the Grizzlies continued to sing forward. On March 2, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the Raptors away. The Raptors performed very well today, scoring six double figures.

But when Link scored 23 points and 12 rebounds, Pau Gasol and Xiao Kangli each had 21 points. The Grizzlies won a winning streak with a "Big Three" victory!

One day later, on March 3, the Grizzlies took the Pistons effortlessly. On March 7, the Grizzlies challenged the Golden State Warriors away. This time, the Warriors didn't have Alice, and Curry hurt his ankle again. Therefore, the Warriors have no resistance.

Last time the two sides played against each other, Link used a "pass into the net" to kill the Warriors. But this time, the Grizzlies hit a huge difference. If it weren't for the garbage time, the Grizzlies would have taken the hand, the point difference would have been even greater.

So far, from before the All-Star Game, the Grizzlies have won five consecutive victories! Their ranking also officially surpassed the Spurs, ranking second in the West.

People say that the Grizzlies will soar this season and they will enter the playoffs with a very high profile. Some people even say that the Grizzlies may be the first in the West!

As a result, this upward momentum was interrupted in the Grizzlies’ away game against the Suns on March 10.

This game itself is not too suspenseful, after all, the Suns have now lost their original style ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Nash is no longer young, it is difficult to use MVP-level performance to hold up the team.

The turning point occurred in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter. Rudy Gay accidentally injured his shoulder in a breakthrough, which caused his shoulder to be injured for the Nth time.

As we all know, Guy’s shoulder had just undergone surgery during the offseason last year, and now there is a problem again, which is really worrying.

Therefore, Hollins did not continue to let Gay play. At the critical moment of the team's take-off, Gay was absent again, just like last season!

After Gay was injured, the Suns seized the opportunity to play a wave of offensive climax, and finally ended the game 98-95.

Link originally wanted to talk to his idol Grant Hill today, but in the end he lost the game and Link was really in no mood. Once the game was over, he turned back to the locker room.

That night, the Grizzlies officially released a heart-wrenching news: Rudy Gay's comeback time is unknown.

The next day, a piece of ESPN news caused a great deal of heated discussion. The headline of the news is very simple and clear, "All the hopes of Memphis rest on forward No. 0."

The news point is simple, "This season, with Randolph's decline and Rudy Gay's injury again, sophomore Link must take over and carry the banner of the Grizzlies. He didn't. Anyone can rely on, he can only top himself, as the absolute core, to meet the real test! What level of player Link is, we will get the answer in the remaining half of the season."

Link didn't know if Gay was traded by the Grizzlies in the original history, whether it was related to the shoulder injury for two consecutive seasons.

But he knows how far he can take the Grizzlies has become the team's biggest suspense this season.

The top four in the West has never been so simple.
