The second loss to the San Antonio Spurs this season has made the Grizzlies feel a little nervous.

The Spurs are really hard to mess with this season. Tim Duncan is getting braver and braver. At the age of 36, he can still recover.

The rookie Kavay Leonard also somewhat solved the problem of the Spurs' weak position at the third position. Leonard was unknown in the draft, but now he is well-known. His data is not amazing, but his defensive ability and occasional explosive data make people talk about it.

And Link knew that that guy could do more than that.

After losing to the Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinal last season, people said that the Spurs dynasty was about to end and the myth of GDP's immortality was about to be broken.

However, now, the Spurs rank second in the West and have defeated countless powerful enemies. It seems that they still have the ability to turn the world upside down in the West!

The San Antonio Spurs are never that simple.

As February begins, the schedule still tortures the nerves of all 30 teams in the league.

On February 1st, we will immediately welcome the Grizzlies back to back. On the 2nd, we will fight the Eagles in Atlanta, and on the 3rd, we will fly to Oklahoma to fight the Thunder. In addition to sleeping, we will also need to fly for at least two hours.

After playing against the Thunder, all this is not over. There was no game on the 4th, but on the 5th, the Grizzlies were going to fly from the west to the East Coast, challenging the eastern giants Boston Celtics away. No. 6, the Grizzlies continued to return to home court back to back. In this game, Hollins attached great importance to the San Antonio Spurs again!

The back-to-back schedule is becoming more and more crazy. At first, it was just home back-to-back, and later it was back-to-back in the West. Now, it is a back-to-back game that spans the east and west parts!

From Boston to Memphis, there is no direct flight at all, so you have to transfer. It takes about five or six hours to sit down!

Although Grizzlies players have private direct flights to take, they still need more than three hours of flight time.

After fighting the difficult Celtics, they immediately took a plane for more than three hours to return to Memphis, then got up and got a spurt.

This picture is so beautiful that Hollins dared not think about it carefully.

It is known that the game that day will definitely be very difficult. But no matter what, Hollins needs to win a victory from the Spurs.

The Spurs are still the opponent the Grizzlies may encounter in the playoffs, and Hollins doesn't want to play with the Spurs in the playoffs with a full loss record.

Just looking at these schedules, Hollins felt it was difficult enough. But the more difficult ones were still behind

On February 2, the Atlanta Hawks were beaten. Although the journey was long, the Grizzlies still slaughtered the opponent cleanly and 96 to 77.

The Grizzlies players were already very frustrated when they lost to the Spurs in the last game. Today they met a soft persimmon, so they definitely had a good hand.

As a result, it was directly crushed.

The Grizzlies failed to get 80 points, which is indeed a reflection of the huge gap in strength between the two sides. Kevin Harlan, who commented on this game, both said, "In the East, the Hawks may have never encountered such a defense."

Link scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists today, and his scoring data was once again the highest in the team.

With Randolph's condition fluctuating due to the overly intensive schedule and Guy lost his core position, Link has unknowingly become the Grizzlies' number one scorer!

In comparison, "single king" Joe Johnson and "center-timer" Josh Smith, the two of them, only scored 21 points together today.

However, the Grizzlies players were not too excited to defeat the Hawks. Because 24 hours later, they had to face the difficult Thunder again.

The Thunders played at home, took a day off on the 2nd, and the Grizzlies at home on the 3rd, so they didn't have to run around. Moreover, the Thunders are mostly young people. It can be said that their physical reserves are much better than the Grizzlies.

In the next day's game, Scott Brooks waved his hand and let the Thunder run and fight, completely killing the Grizzlies.

In the first three quarters, both sides played without a single score, but in the last quarter, the Grizzlies missed several shots because of their lack of physical strength, and said goodbye to Oxford City by 6 points.

The Thunder attacked very hard in this game, with Durant scored 36 points, Westbrook scored 21 points, James Harden scored 26 points, and the three young men collectively broke out, allowing Thunder fans to win a dream big victory.

Link and Guy performed well today, with the former 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, while the latter 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. But the exhausted physical fitness allowed the Grizzlies to pass by victory.

Although it was just a few rounds of miss, in such a critical game, a few rounds were enough to determine life and death.

The Grizzlies players were unwilling to return to the locker room, losing to the Spurs first and then to the Thunder. The Grizzlies have been revenge this season.

This season, the Grizzlies and the Thunder have played 3 games, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses. They played two games with the Spurs, but they didn't win in one game.

Everyone was very upset. If they could last for another 2 minutes just now, even if it was only 2 minutes, the Grizzlies might be able to bite the game down!

"Damn it, go fucking the shrunken season!" Randolph angrily threw the jersey to the ground as soon as he returned to the locker room. He was undoubtedly the most affected Grizzlies player this season.

Due to physical fitness and injuries, Randolph's condition has been very ups and downs this year. Sometimes he can still cut 20+10, but sometimes he almost disappeared. Under such circumstances, his data has also dropped significantly.

Last season, he averaged 20.1 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, and only scored 13.7 points and 9.2 rebounds this season. If Link hadn't grown up, Guy would have been able to make a comeback, and the Grizzlies would have lost their combat effectiveness this year.

"Okay, Zach, don't be angry all the time. If you are angry often, you will gain weight. Look at you, your belly has become bigger again." Link patted Randolph's belly, causing the depressed teammates in the locker room to smile.

"I" Randolph was speechless and felt a little out of temper. Last season, he was "teased" Link, but now it was better, and Link also began to "tease" him.

But Randolph always felt that something was missing. After Link finished speaking, that boy Tony Aaron would respond. Randolph looked up and didn't find Tony Aaron.

At the end of the game, the players go back to the locker room. Because some people have to be interviewed, some people like to stay on the court, so it is not necessarily clear who comes back if they don’t look carefully.

"Where is Tony?" Randolph asked.

Link also raised his head and looked around the locker room. He did not see Tony Allen. If there was no interview, Tony Allen was usually the first to go back to the locker room, but today, he hasn't come back until now, which is indeed a bit strange.

"That guy won't run to fight Durant, right? He was tortured by Durant today." Conley joked.

"Durant tortured us so badly, by the way, at the end of today's game, Tony limped a few steps after an attempt to block the ground. That guy, nothing will happen, right?" Link suddenly remembered a terrifying detail.

The schedule is so dense that every team has frequent injuries. And today Tony Allen defends very hard and consumes a lot.

Link shook his head, but he must not be a crow's mouth.

As a result, Tony Allen walked into the locker room with the help of the team doctor. It turned out that Tony Allen had just gone for a check-up.

"I don't think I can't play the next few games, guys." As soon as I entered the door, Tony Allen smiled helplessly at everyone, and his ankles were swollen into ham sausages.

The kind with super large roots.

Link really wants to slap himself in the face, this mouth has been scattered!

First it was Arthur and Conley, then Randolph, and now it was Teacher Tony. This is the fourth injured player of the Grizzlies this season.

This kind of thing was impossible to happen last season. This year, there were too many accidents.

In the last two games, they played back to back against the Celtics and the Spurs, without Tony Allen?

Link could already imagine how desperate Hollins was now.
