Reverse Growth Superstar

While people are cheering for the Grizzlies players and Link, the Grizzlies players have no way to celebrate the victory.

As soon as the game ended, they changed their clothes and boarded the plane back to Memphis, bidding farewell to this glamorous city.

Back to back to back, this kind of schedule that will only appear in the shrinking season, can be said to be the most brutal and inhuman schedule in the history of the NBA. The players have to experience both psychological and physical damage, and there is no time to celebrate the victory.

Link hasn't enjoyed the fun of defeating Wade and James, so he has to rush to the next battlefield without stopping.

Fortunately, the shrinking season does not happen often, otherwise Link must be driven mad.

The next day, Link went to sleep until noon before waking up. It's not that he is lazy, but that the consumption in Miami yesterday was too great.

After fighting James for a whole game, Link felt as if he was hollowed out. Whether on the defensive end or offensive end, James gives a lot of pressure. So almost as soon as he got on the team bus yesterday, Link fell asleep.

Link dragged his tired body to his feet. Outside the window, the sky in Memphis was no longer gloomy. In April, the weather gradually warms up, and pleasant summer is also coming.

The arrival of summer indicates that the playoffs are approaching step by step.

As soon as he thought of this, Link became completely sleepy. In order to gain home court advantage in the playoffs, the only way is to stick to this month.

As always, Link turned on the TV and watched the news while eating before going out. He missed the top five yesterday, but the top five 囧link just caught up.

Seeing the scene of Jimmy Butler stumbled on himself in front of the bench, Link almost didn’t squirt the milk... It’s really hard work for Hollins. He must have been holding back on the bench yesterday. Right.

But to be honest, the feeling of shooting on top of Wade and James' heads is really cool. It's a pity. Yesterday was at the Heat's home court and the fans could not hear the cheers.

After watching the five 囧, Link went out to drive. But just walked out of the house and backed back.

He forgot to take his luggage.

After today's game, the Grizzlies will immediately fly to Oklahoma City, so the players will take their luggage directly to the court today and set off immediately after playing the Warriors.

I just went home to sleep, so I have to go again...

That night, the Grizzlies still performed well in the home game against the Warriors.

Although the Grizzlies are fighting back-to-back, they played quite fiercely with the Heat yesterday. But on the Warriors side, hard power is really not good. Ellis was traded, Curry had another ankle injury for the Nth time. The Warriors lost the backcourt with double shots, which was equivalent to losing offensive firepower.

So at home, the Grizzlies took out the Warriors effortlessly and scored a 98-84 back-to-back two-game winning streak.

Link looked at the bench without Curry and sighed with emotion. This is likely to be the last season in which the Warriors can be abused casually, because after this season, Mark Jackson will take the post of head coach of the Warriors.

And Mark Jackson established a complete system in the Warriors, and allowed Curry and Clay Thompson to exert their power.

After that, the Warriors will enter the Steve Kerr era. At that time, the Golden State Warriors will be even more difficult to describe.

After playing the game and accepting interviews with reporters, Link and his teammates embarked on the journey again.

Twenty-four hours later, in Oklahoma City, the exhausted Grizzlies finally fell under the youth storm of the Thunder.

The Thunder this season is already strong, and it still holds the first place in the Western Conference. What's more, the Grizzlies are fighting back-to-back for the third consecutive game and running back and forth for the third consecutive game.

Today, even Link, who has always been known for his physical fitness, has overturned. Although he scored 22 points, his 42.1% hit rate and 1 out of 5 three-pointers were significantly lower than the average. Physical fitness problems made Link's offense no longer so stable, and the Thunder had just rested for two days, but they were full of energy.

As a result, the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder 94-98 on the road. Durant and Westbrook teamed up for 52 points, and James Harden, who came off the bench, also scored 14 points. Their firepower, saying that they are No. 1 in the West is really well deserved.

At this point, the Grizzlies and the Thunder this season are all over. Unlike last year, the Grizzlies met the Thunder this season and their record was only 1 win and 3 losses!

After being mentioned by reporters after the game, Link and Hollins both aroused vigilance.

Link, remembering that the Thunder made it to the finals this year! And the whole process is basically all the way through with a big victory.

In the original history, the Thunder abolished the defending champion Mavericks 4-0 in the first round, and ended the Lakers' final glory 4-1 in the second round. The Western Conference Finals only allowed the Lao Spurs to win two games. Had it not been for Harden and Westbrook's sudden power failure in the finals, James' first crown might have to be postponed.

On the Hollins side, he has to plan for the playoffs this season. The Thunder had 1 win and 3 losses in the regular season, which was obviously not a good result. So in the playoffs, the Grizzlies need to avoid the Thunder as much as possible.

Judging from the current rankings, if the Grizzlies remain third in the Western Conference, the second round of the playoffs will be the second-round Spurs in the Western Conference. But if you fall out of the top three, you will have to meet Thunder in the second round!

Therefore, the next Grizzlies strategy is very clear-try to keep the third place in the West, not let the two Los Angeles teams have a chance.

For the Lakers and Clippers, they certainly don't want to engage in the Los Angeles Derby in the first round of the playoffs.

They are more willing to play the inexperienced Thunder than hurt each other. So, in the next half month, the Lakers and Clippers will definitely start sprinting like crazy. As long as they get third in the West, they can prevent the Los Angeles Derby from playing early.

The Grizzlies’ task of keeping the rankings is very difficult.

"What are you talking about? Are you interested in the Memphis Grizzlies?" A casually dressed black man sat in front of a young and well-mannered young white man with a look of surprise.

"What? Do you think it's so incredible?" The young man smiled, confident.

"Um... how do you put it? Memphis is not a big market, and the Grizzlies are not the most profitable team. I know, they have improved in the past two years. But you can see that even so, no one Treat them as an orthodox strong team. To put it ugly, their current identity is more like a **** stick. They can achieve results, but it is difficult to get real honor." The black man opened his hands. For the NBA, he is too Can't understand.

After all, he was also one of the players.

"For now, it is like this. You are right, Anfenni. But if we intervene, everything may be different." The white man is still very confident. After all, he can get to where he is today. It's not luck, he trusts his own judgment.

The black man named Anfenni is exactly "Penny" Anfenni Hardaway, one of the most famous Jordan successors~www.wuxiaspot.com~, but his ending is also with another Jordan successor Grant. Hill was similar, but ultimately failed to reach the expected height due to injuries.

Hardaway couldn't believe that the 35-year-old "Diamond Fifth" Robert Pera would actually pull himself into the Grizzlies.

Indeed, Pella, who has made a successful career, grew up in Los Angeles, loves basketball, and wants to have his own team.

But Hardaway really didn't know what Pella wanted to acquire the Grizzlies. Can the Grizzlies help him make money? Not necessarily.

Although the Grizzlies are now being peddled, this is indeed the best opportunity to get involved in the NBA. But the Memphis Grizzlies? Seriously, when Hardaway played, the Grizzlies were a joke! This inherent impression is still ingrained in Hardaway's heart until now.

"Different? What do you think will be different if we intervene?" Hardaway spread his hands and saw that he couldn't speak Pella, so he decided to listen to what this talented capitalist would say.

"We can build a team around Link, Anfenni. If we intervene, we will tailor everything for him, from teammates, coaches to management, we will provide him with the best quality resources. And he, I I don’t know how you look at it, but in my opinion, that guy is definitely a trustworthy cornerstone player. He is only second grade, Anfenni, but he has deflated most of the league’s stars. I can see his potential. , If you use him reasonably, the Grizzlies will get rid of the status quo, get rid of your so-called **** stick identity, and become a true champion contender. And we will also make a lot of money! Heisley will be the Grizzlies It was rescued from the dire and hot Vancouver, and we should take the Grizzlies one step further."

Hardaway smiled jokingly, because he lost the draft so he had confidence in the Grizzlies? He thought Robert Pera was crazy.
