1247: The Poisonous Milk of the Old Rogue
The battle between Link and Doncic, just looking at the data, seems to be a close duel.
After all, Doncic's score is only 3 points less than Link's. The assists and rebounds seem to be much worse.
Therefore, many people will have a deep impression that the Grizzlies can win not because Link is stronger than Doncic, but because the Grizzlies' overall strength is stronger than the Mavericks.
But after people watched the game video, they completely changed their minds.
Doncic was embarrassed by Link in the second half, making his performance completely incomparable to Link.
Doncic's shooting percentage in the whole game was less than 30%, which also made his 28 points extremely valuable.
In fact, Link was serious about Doncic in the last game.
But it was the third quarter that changed the trend of the entire game.
The entire reason Doncic can score 28 points is simply because he only played against Link for one quarter.
If this is the playoffs, Link will definitely control Doncic from the first second of the game.
Doncic won't be surprised if he scores in single digits, even if he is defended by Link, he will not be surprised.
The superstars of this era have no choice but to use Link, but the super newcomers of the next era are also helpless against Link.
Link takes it all, no matter how old or young.
"This is how Link welcomes Doncic into the ranks of superstars. He used his full defense in one quarter to tell Doncic how long the road ahead is."
"Link beat Doncic in almost one quarter of the game. Link was telling him that it wasn't time for you to make a fuss."
"Although Doncic praised Link after the game, we all know that he must be very uncomfortable during the game."
Doncic is now the object of sympathy for major sports portals.
The photos of this guy with messy hair and lonely expressions were also made into "I was so scared at the time" by Chinese fans.
He may be able to beat James and Lillard at a close.
But defeat Link?
As Nowitzki said, Doncic needs some luck.
Unfortunately, my luck was not with the Mavericks yesterday.
It turns out that Old Dirk is really not a lie.
He knew very well that Link had never fallen behind in education.
However, after the game, Link did not mock the Mavericks and Doncic. On the contrary, he also posted a photo of himself and Doncic when shooting an advertisement on social media, encouraging Doncic to continue moving forward.
This is very rare. Link has never been a "good person". Compared to encouragement, he is more willing to "destroy".
However, this can prove the particularity of Doncic.
A person who is favored by Link... Maybe this time, everyone didn't miss it.
After this game, the Grizzlies have won seven consecutive victories.
Seven consecutive victories are the longest winning streak in NBA this season.
The Grizzlies' record of 8 wins and 1 loss is also ranked first in the league.
In comparison, the Milwaukee Bucks currently have a record of 6 wins and 3 losses, while the Los Angeles Clippers have 4 wins and 2 losses.
No team's record is comparable to the Grizzlies.
Amid the voice of "the Grizzlies' strength has been greatly reduced this season", Link's team still performed at the dominant level.
When neither superstar nor super genius can solve Link, it is expected that the Grizzlies may usher in another terrible winning streak.
In the next two games, the Grizzlies really won the victory with great expectations.
On November 11, the Grizzlies won the game without much effort.
Once upon a time, the battle between the Spurs and the Grizzlies was a beautiful landscape in the West.
GDP and Leonard both had fierce battles with the Grizzlies.
But now, even the Ivy, the Spurs, is about to wither.
So far this season, the Spurs have only 5 wins and 4 losses. DeRozan and Aldridge are obviously not a combination with high probability.
DeRozan struggled very hard with the Spurs, and Aldridge was not the kind of particularly aggressive star.
And one problem that is often overlooked is that Aldridge is no longer young.
He was once thought to be here to take over Duncan, but now he is almost 35 years old.
These two guys who are not top-tier superstars in the league, bring a bunch of players who may not be able to play in rotation on other teams...
The Spurs are indeed not very competitive in this cruel West.
However, the Grizzlies, who competed for the finals ticket with the Spurs, were still firm.
This may be the first time in NBA history that a team has remained competitive for longer than the Spurs.
In this game, facing the Spurs who were not strong enough, Dillon Brooks and Jokic scored 21 points and 18 points respectively.
The two of them alone are enough for the Spurs to have a good drink.
So, Link just scored 24 points lightly today, and led the team to win the game 113-99.
All the ivy has withered, but the grizzly bear is still enemies of the world.
On November 13, the Grizzlies beat Charlotte to fight against the Hornets.
After the Hornets left the star Kemba Walker, they naturally focused on playing badly this season.
Although they have been very aggressive from the Celtics and have played Terry Rozier in the playoffs last season. But if you expect him to bring the Hornets into the playoffs immediately, it is undoubtedly a dream.
This game is not surprising, but it still attracts much attention.
The reason is very simple - Michael Jordan will be there to watch the game in person today!
What will happen between Link and Jordan has also made fans look forward to it.
Jordan didn't give Link too many surprises today, but just chatted with Link before the game.
And there was nothing to talk about in the substantive content. Link estimated that Jordan mainly wanted to find some shots for the reporters.
I have to say that after Mr. Qiao became a businessman, his thinking is different from that of himself when he was a player.
In the past, he might have been thinking about how to win, but now he is only thinking about how to maximize profits.
Interacting with Link is a way to maximize your interests.
Today, it was not Jordan who surprised Link, but Rochelle.
Rozier's personality has always been very strong, and he is not afraid even when facing the Grizzlies, the No. 1 in the league.
What's more, Conley is the league's number one "upgrade package" in the Grizzlies.
Rozier played very positively today, as if he had been holding it in for several days, just to vent his strength on Conley.
Rochelle shot a lot today, and this game, which was originally unsurprising, became ups and downs as a result.
Although the Grizzlies have always taken the initiative, they cannot completely break away from their opponents and cannot break the score difference.
Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Rochelle's shortcomings of insufficient strength were exposed.
At the critical moment, Rozier, who was under great pressure, lost all three shots, while Link scored consecutively.
With Link's outstanding performance at the critical moment, the Grizzlies won the game 117 to 112 without any danger.
Rozier made 7 of 12 shots from outside the three-point line in this game, with a shooting percentage of up to 58.3%.
With this super high three-point shooting percentage, Rochel also scored 33 points.
However, Link's 39 points obviously beat Rozier.
After the game, Charlotte's local commentator joked: "Michael certainly didn't tell his players, don't be crazy in front of Link anymore. Because you will only get Link's crazier response."
After the game, Jordan, who was interviewed by reporters, also expressed his appreciation for Link.
"It's a pity that the Grizzlies have been giving us hope, and I always think we can overtake the score. But that's what Link is best at. He will suddenly close all the windows at the last moment, throw you into the complete darkness and steal hope. This practice is more cruel than not giving you hope in the beginning."
Jordan said, shaking his head. Although he is just the owner of the Hornets now, the feeling of being snatched away by Link's own hands still makes the "old hooligan" very uncomfortable.
"Link's performance at a critical moment was dominant. I said before that only Kobe, LeBron, Dirk and Duncan could survive in the 1990s. But now, I have to add Link. Even in the very rough 1990s, Link can definitely become a superstar."
After Jordan finished speaking, the reporter seemed to have not heard enough. After all, Jordan rarely brags about his juniors like this in front of the camera.
So, the reporter asked another question: "Link now only needs to complete another finale to tie LeBron on the NBA historical finale list, ranking third in history! Which one do you think Link can finally rank in history? By the way, on this list, you rank second, and Kobe the first one is. Do you think he can successfully surpass you?"
Faced with this problem, Jordan spread his hands: "I don't know, but I'm sure Link will soon tie for third in history with LeBron, and he will never miss the game at a critical moment."
After Jordan finished speaking, he ended the interview. He said nothing wrong with his words. This season is still long, and Link has more chances to meet the winning goal.
Chapter completed!
