Reverse Growth Superstar

The Grizzlies and Kings game has reached the final moments, DeMarcus Cousins ​​frowned, arguing with the referee on the court.

For this kind of picture, the Kings coach Mike Malone has taken offense. If Cousins ​​is suddenly obedient on the court one day, then it is abnormal.

As the player who has received the most technical fouls so far this season, Cousins ​​naturally will not miss any chance to challenge the referee.

He roared at the referee, indicating that Gasol's defense just now actually fouled. Otherwise, he could not fail to score that goal.

Cousins ​​looked very anxious, as if he was eager to take a small video straight out of his pants. No way, Cousins’s appearance today is terrible.

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

Link shook his head on the bench. Cousins ​​still likes messing around so much.

At this time, there were few minutes before the end of the game, but Cousins ​​only got 9 points, 1 assist and 5 rebounds. There is no doubt that Cousins ​​wants to get the data back before the end of the game.

It was hard to get an offensive opportunity, but he missed because of Gasol's strict interference. Can Cousins ​​not worry?

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

You can't score in double figures in a single game, but there is nothing embarrassing about it. After all, most players in the NBA can't average three points per game.

But Cousins ​​is different from those other players. He is the core of the Kings. If you play as a core player and you can't score in double figures, it's really unreasonable.

Seeing that the referee still insisted on his penalty, Cousins ​​scolded uncomfortably.

The referee did not show mercy and gave Cousins ​​a technical foul. At this time, Cousins ​​can be considered to stabilize his throne as the "first person in technical fouls".

As the core only scored 9 points, Cousins ​​was completely locked by Gasol. It can be seen that the king's condition is not much better.

If Link sits on the bench at the end of the fourth quarter, there is only one possibility that the game has entered garbage time.

Cousins ​​was irritated by Gasol's steady defense today and was extremely impulsive. As a result, the Grizzlies put the game into garbage time effortlessly.

Link sits on the bench, preparing for the longest ten-game winning streak in Grizzlies history.

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

They first easily won the Lakers without Kobe, and today they only have more than one minute left to win the Kings.

Unbeaten in the opening ten games, it's almost a catch!

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

And Cousins ​​himself and his own behavior, 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 still happened.

At the end of the game, Cousins ​​looked up at the big screen. 102 to 86, the Grizzlies won away easily.

Because Link left early to rest, he only scored 19 points today. But at the same time, Link also contributed 8 rebounds and 9 assists, still cutting a quasi-triple-double data.

Gasol is the person with the highest score on the Grizzlies team today. He scored 22 points and 10 rebounds, stifling the King's hope of counterattack.

As for Cousins, he doesn't even want to look at this data.

9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers. As a fifth player, his shooting percentage was only 36.4%.

Not only Cousins, the Kings are so strange that all the starting players did not score in double figures today, and the four who scored in double figures came from the bench...

As if the Kings had deliberately given the Grizzlies the best start record, the Grizzlies have set another record in team history before they can make any effort.

After the game, Cousins ​​was obviously very angry, angry with himself. Without a doubt, this is the worst game he has ever played this season.

"Damn, I shouldn't let you win so easily, damn! That **** Spaniard, I hate him!"

Cousins ​​naturally couldn't rush to Linksa, so he had to complain about Gasol in front of Link.

Link smiled awkwardly. Gasol has such a good personality, Cousins ​​can play against him, and there is no one.

After two more talks between the two sides, Cousins ​​also left the court. Now Link is a "hungry" reporter.

"Link, the team achieved the best opening record in team history with 10 unbeaten games. How long do you think your unbeaten status can last?"

"I can't answer your exact number, but we will definitely try 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, that is the best starting record in the league since the 21st century."

"We were not born to break records, but we will work hard." Link nodded with a smile. His answer was actually the same as the previous one.

The reporters started to feel a little boring, and if this continued, they wouldn't be able to dig up any hot topics when Link left.

So for the last question, a black reporter raised the topic that has been discussed the most in these two days.

"Link, since you completed that 360-degree turn dunk in the actual game against the Raptors, there have been more and more calls on the Internet about your participation in the dunk contest. But many people say that you actually Don't dare to participate in the dunk contest, how do you respond?"

This question really caught Link's attention, because Link himself was paying attention to this topic in the past two days.

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

But many people think that Link is afraid to participate in the dunk contest. In fact, it is not just Link, but many famous stars are afraid to participate in the dunk contest.

Occasionally, the list of the dunk contests that looked dazzling with stars was not so dazzling at the time. Because even if there are superstars participating in the dunk contest, that is before he is completely famous.

For example, when Vince Carter participated in the dunk contest, he was actually just a second-year rookie. Although it was indeed he who brought the slam dunk contest back to people's sight, it was also the slam dunk contest that made Carter, which made his popularity soar.

Kobe had just entered the league when he participated in the slam dunk contest. He was definitely not a star when he averaged only 7.6 points per game. People also think that the league just found someone to play sloppy.

To say that after he became famous, he still participated in the slam dunk contest, it is estimated that only "the leader" Jordan.

Although Jordan's heyday was in the 1990s, in 1987 and 1988, Jordan was already a superstar player in the league that cannot be ignored.

In 1987, Jordan averaged a terrible 37.1 points per game. He was the league's leading scoring player and an All-Star starter.

Not to mention in 1988, Jordan was the MVP that year, breaking the rule of Magic and Bird over the league. Even so, he still participated in the dunk contest.

But after Jordan, few such famous players have participated in the dunk contest. Dwight Howard counts as one, but he must be incomparable to Jordan at the time. James yelled for many years and said he wanted to participate, but so far he just had a mouthful.

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

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

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

Secondly, the superstars are also afraid of losing. It would be a shame to lose to an unknown young guy in the dunk contest~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you lose, it will definitely become a career failure.

Of course, there are also reasons for fear of injury, not wanting to waste energy because of the dunk contest. But the biggest reason is the above two.

Link is now the number one player among ESPN's top 50 stars in the new season. He is the champion of last season and FMVP. Of course, it is also a hot candidate for MVP this season. If you insist, Link's current coffee position is comparable to Jordan when he participated in the dunk contest.

Therefore, many people think that Link is afraid to participate in the dunk contest. The current players are not as kind as Jordan's generation.

Faced with this problem, Link just smiled perfunctorily, "I don't know if I will participate, maybe after the Alliance sends me an invitation."

Link really hasn't considered the dunk contest, but he doesn't resist. Due to limited athletic ability before, now that he has gained strong athletic ability, Link enjoys the thrill of dunks very much.

But Link didn't expect that his answer in the truth caused himself a "soft" infamy.
