When the electronic beep sounded, the numbers on the big screen on the scene were frozen at 116 to 108. The Memphis Grizzlies killed the invading Denver Nuggets by 8 points without Rudy Guy.

The fans of the audience cheered, and the commentators were also amazed. No one could have thought that the Grizzlies could score 116 points with the premise of losing Guy.

In 2011, when three-pointers and small balls were not completely developed, it was not easy to score nearly 120 points in a single game. What's more, it was the Grizzlies, a team that is good at defense and just lost the second scorer.

There is no doubt that Link, who scored 26 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds in the whole game, is the "culprit" for the Grizzlies to make amazing performances.

"Link, this magical player perfectly fills the void left by Rudy Guy. No, in some ways, this guy is even better than Rudy Guy! Can you imagine? This guy can actually win a showdown with a super scorer like Cameron Anthony. We know that Link's starting point is very low. But no one knows where the guy's cap is!"

Huby Brown hasn't seen such a magical Grizzlies rookie for a long time. Gasol Jr., Mayo, Conley and others have actually performed within expectations. After all, they were highly anticipated from the beginning and were thoroughly analyzed.

But Link, this guy's performance can only be described as amazing. The Grizzlies signed him just to find a reliable substitute. What did he do? He scored with Anthony, and he played more efficiently than Guy. He made the perfect lineup in Hollins' mind form, and he let the shadow in front of the Grizzlies dissipate.

He always amazed others again and again. When people thought Link was already powerful enough, he was always able to do things that exceeded expectations.

Hubby Brown is right, no one knows where his ceiling is.

At the moment of the game, Anthony turned his head and wanted to run into the player's passage. Unfortunately, the reporter's hands and feet were one step faster than him. At the entrance of the player's passage, an ESPN reporter "defended" Anthony.

"Cameron, let's talk about this game. You gave Link 26 points today, which is even 2 points higher than your score. Before the game, did you think Link would become your opponent?"

"He's great, he's really one of the best rookies of the year."

Anthony answered while touching his nose. Generally speaking, this is the most common way for a person to hide his embarrassment.

Can you not be embarrassed to praise someone you hate in front of the camera?

"So what do you think of yourself being defeated by a undraft?"

As soon as the reporter finished asking, Anthony's look of killing was passed on. If it were on the street, Anthony would have beaten people long ago.

The furious Anthony did not continue to fight with the reporter, but pushed him away and left. However, his furious move made him look very weak as a general.

Before the game started, Anthony thought that he could beat a loser even if he played casually. What was the result? This time the "social melon" also made a comeback.

The atmosphere on the court is completely different from the bad luck on Anthony's side. The cheers of Grizzlies fans created a fanatical atmosphere of joy, which did not disperse for a long time even after the game.

Several cameras were circling around Link. If this game was held in Los Angeles or other big football markets, there would probably be more reporters around Link.

"Link! Do you think of defeating Cameron Anthony??"

"How do you think of the blocking you blocked Anthony? Is it a coincidence or a prediction?"

"Tell me about your mood, you must be very excited, right?"

This is not the first time that Link has been surrounded by reporters, but he enjoys this kind of treatment every time he receives.

Looking back on what happened today, it was indeed a bit dreamy. After all, this was the first time he truly defeated a superstar.

In 2019 when Link came through, Anthony had become an older player who could not find a job. But now the situation is completely different. Anthony is one of the hottest stars in the league.

However, today I completely suppressed Anthony.

26 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 block and 2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 54. Compared with 24 points, 4 rebounds, 0 assists and 2 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 423. Although the scoring gap between Link and Anthony is only 2 points, overall, Anthony lags behind.

I have to say that defeating superstars on the court is much more fun than being fooled at night.

Link instantly became one of the Grizzlies' signature players. Rudy Gay was almost forgotten by fans after just missing a game.

Hollins looked at Link who was treated like a superstar and put down a big stone in his heart.

In today's game, Hollins proved his new feasibility. Stronger defense, more efficient offense, and better team cooperation are enough to ensure the Grizzlies' rankings until the start of the playoffs.

Of course, what surprised Hollins the most was Link's personal ability. Link is always like this. When you have some expectations for him, he can always do things that exceed you expect. Today, Hollins originally just wanted Link to harass Anthony with offense, but he didn't know that in the end, he surpassed the "melon" in scoring.

When you give him enough opportunities and time, Link can occasionally use it as Guy.

This kind of player who can surprise the coaches everywhere but not worry, deserves to increase his playing time. If Link is in the hands of Thibodeau, he will not get a rest without playing for more than 45 minutes per game.

After accepting the interview with the reporters, Link did not go back to the locker room immediately, but instead asked the staff to buy a lot of popcorn for him.

Only when the teammates all went to the shower did Link sneak into the locker room.

Randolph walked out in a bath towel while humming a little song. After seeing Link, he greeted him kindly, "Hehe, you played really well today. You have snatched all of our limelight. By the way, no matter what Tony Allen said to you during the game, don't believe it, it's just a rumor."

Landolf laughed, trying hard to defend himself that Rachel wasn't really what he told Tony Allen, and he didn't know anything.

When not playing, Randolph's hairline with his hairband removed was actually very high, which made his head look very round. Coupled with his sneering expression and thick neck, the big black bear, which was originally full of intimidation, seemed to immediately become a comedian.

"Don't worry, Zach, I've never doubted you." Link patted Randolph's back with a kind look on his face.

"Hehe, we should trust each other." Randolph breathed a sigh of relief, opened the locker and prepared to change his clothes.

However, when Randolph opened the locker, he was stunned. As soon as the door opened, popcorn flowed out like a waterfall. When he looked at the locker again, it was filled with popcorn!

"Hahahahahahaha!" Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room. Only then did Randolph realize that he had been fooled by Link!

If it was the former Randolph, don't worry, the Grizzlies locker room would definitely become a free fighting scene.

But at this moment, Randolph just smiled slightly, shook his head, and then suddenly grabbed a handful of popcorn and slapped it on Link's face.

"Tony, why don't you come and help!" While sillying, Randolph shouted for help. It's so dying, Tony Allen actually came to help.

The Grizzlies' locker room was in chaos again, but Hollins was not worried. Similar jokes often happen in the NBA locker room. Compared to Ginobili's underwear being frozen, stuffing popcorn in the locker is simply a pediatrician. This kind of joke is actually a proof that the atmosphere of a team is pretty good.

As a Chinese, Link has undoubtedly been with everyone.
