Guy was injured on the 10th, and he was relieved on the 11th for a day. On the 12th, the Grizzlies will usher in another round of back-to-back matches after losing Guy.

The 12th home match against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the 13th home flew back to back to the Denver Plateau to face the Nuggets.

There is no doubt that these two games are particularly important in the hearts of Grizzlies fans. After all, these two games will show whether the Grizzlies have the potential to reach the end this year.

There is no need to say much about the Los Angeles Lakers. Although the record this season is not as explosive as before. But this is a team with two All-Star players. The existence of Kobe and Bynum makes the Lakers still a powerful championship contender.

The Denver Nuggets have made extremely smooth attacks this season, especially after replacing Nei's Nei with McGee, Denver's title of "Track and Field Team" is well deserved. George Carl has perfectly injected his personal style into this team.

Both opponents are strong rivals in the Western Conference and are also opponents that the Grizzlies may encounter in the playoffs.

Link naturally attaches great importance to these two games. If nothing unexpected happens, James Harden will switch to the Houston Rockets this summer. Harden uses the record of "the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points and 12 assists in his debut in a new team", proving that he can perfectly convert from the sixth man to the team's core.

Link doesn't expect to produce such gorgeous data, but he also hopes that his performance can support his core position.

So on the 12th, Link arrived at the training hall early, even earlier than Jimmy Butler.

He took the lead in finding a shot, and any opportunity was reserved for those who were prepared.

After shooting, Link went to the physiotherapist to relax his muscles. Not being able to get injured is still a major priority for Link.

At the same time, Los Angeles Lakers players also arrived at Memphis International Airport. Kobe wore sunglasses and was serious.

The Lakers have recently won two consecutive victories, and in the last game, the Lakers just killed their arch-rivals Celtics by 3 points. Therefore, the Lakers have been greatly motivated.

When asked the question "How do you think of the prospects for the Grizzlies after losing Rudy. Guy?", Kobe's answer was very straightforward.

"Link will take care of everything. He is an All-Star forward. I believe in his ability to lead the team. But everyone needs a process of progress and growth, and so does Link. And we are the process of his hardship."

In this year's All-Star training, Kobe lost 1 point in a single match with Link. Since then, this paranoid has been waiting for another showdown with Link.

In his eyes, Link is no longer as simple as a rookie. He will no longer treat Link with the attitude towards rookies!

※※※

"This is the second time the Lakers and the Grizzlies have played against each other this season. The last time the Grizzlies won the game at Staples. In that game, Link scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and the restrictions on Kobe were also very good. But I must say that in the current situation, Link must play better than last time."

In the evening, before the highly anticipated game began, the Federal Express Arena was already full of people. Hubby Brown and his partner also started today's commentary work.

Bron deliberately found out the data from Link when he played against the Lakers. To be honest, for a sophomore rookie, that performance was already very, very good.

But the highlight of today's game is that Link must do better than outstanding in order to shoulder the heavy responsibility!

Hubby Brown shook his head. Link may be the most anticipated undraft in NBA history. For Ben Wallace, would you ask him to score 20+ points per game? For Bruce Bowen, the only thing you can expect is that he can also score one or two three-pointers while defending the opponent's arrow characters.

But in the same way, people's demand for Link is to take on the team.

That boy must have been under tremendous pressure.

"Link, today we will attack with you as the core of the offense! Don't be nervous, you once scored 40 points in a single game, so I believe that scoring is not difficult for you. Today you play the third position and your opponent is Artest."

"Boss, I have to interrupt. That guy is called World Peace now, hahahahaha!" Randolph made a joke when Hollins spoke to Link. It seemed to be making trouble, but in fact it also made Link relax a lot.

"Okay, your opponent is World Peace, no matter what his fucking name is. In short, he is a player who was once invincible in defense but now has a more famous reputation than his strength. Atai World Peace is now declining in a lateral movement speed, so you can break through more and use pick-and-roll to hit him. Only if you attack first can we have hope in our offense, do you understand?"

"Yes." Link nodded slightly. It should be much easier to play against Ci Shiping than Kobe. After all, this year is the lowest season of Ci Shiping's career. His various data are all career lows.

His strong one-on-one defense skills have also declined a lot.

But Link still has to be careful because you never know what that guy will do next.

Jordan humiliated Artest in the training hall for provoking and in a one-on-one challenge, and then his ribs broke.

This is also because the Internet was underdeveloped back then, otherwise Artai would have been criticized to death.

Link took a deep breath and slowly stood up. This was his home court, and both Artest and Kobe, Link had to defeat them!

※※※

As usual, Kobe didn't talk to Link before the game. Now, Kobe and Link are in a hostile state. And that paranoid will not show goodwill to his opponent in advance before the game ends.

Where is Artest? Link found that the guy stared at him like a perverted uncle, as if he was looking forward to the next showdown.

Link swallowed and thought about it carefully. In this lineup of Lakers, there were all kinds of weird things.

Before the game started, all the fans shouted "Come on Link" to cheer for their All-Star forward.

Link was naturally inspired by it, but Ci Shiping was even more excited. His favorite performance was to destroy other people's idols!

The referee whistle sounded, and the game that attracted much attention from Memphis fans finally began.

The excited Bynum took the lead in winning basketball, and the Lakers attacked first!

Sessions controlled the ball very calmly through the half, but the ball was still hot, and the defender who had just joined the Lakers passed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe's opponent today is his old enemy Tony Allen. Tony Allen may not be able to help a lot on the offensive end, but he can do better than Guy on the defensive end.

Kobe took two test steps with the ball, but did not take action, but handed the ball to Bynum!

Bynum is very destructive this year and deserves his name as the center of the Western Conference Stars.

Bynum leaned under the basket and then took a small hook. He was so relaxed, soft and hard, and successfully defeated Gasol's basket defense.

A heavy center who averages 18.7 points per game has no doubt about the lethality of the basket.

"The Lakers' offensive is very strong. Bynum gave the Grizzlies a warning with the most intense confrontation as soon as he came up! Next is the Grizzlies' offensive round. What will they do?"

Although he didn't say it, Hubby Brown knew that what everyone wants to see now is not what the Grizzlies will do, but what Link will do!

After Link borrowing a simple off-ball cover, he directly received the basketball. It can be seen that the Grizzlies really want Link to be the core of the offensive.

Faced with the fierce world peace, Link was not in a hurry, but waved his hand and signaled Randolph to come out to cover it.

The big black bear immediately took it up, and now all the Grizzlies are willing to serve Link's offensive.

After taking advantage of the cover, Link accelerated his breakthrough. But this time, Link's breakthrough was not easy, because both Ci Shiping and Gasol followed Link in!

"Both of them followed Xiang Link, and the Lakers gave him great pressure!"

Sure enough, the core of the offense often needs to face the hardest defense!

Without hesitation, Link passed the ball on the ground while marching and sent the ball to Randolph who was walking down after pick-and-roll.

Randolph took off and jumped to the box after receiving the basketball, which looked like a beautiful goal.

However, the next second, Bynum came out from the oblique side. The guy put all his strength in his arms and slapped Randolph's layup back outside the three-point line. Sessions picked up the basketball!

"Monster blocking, this has become the scene of a volleyball game!" All the commentators couldn't help but feel close. Bynum's blocking just now was indeed too destructive!

Sessions picked up the basketball and directly made a quick attack and scored a goal. 4-0, the Los Angeles Lakers played their character!

Randolph shook his head helplessly. If it were last year, he would have been able to cut in faster and jump and layup faster. In this way, he would not be blocked.

But this year

"Damn it!" Link cursed inwardly, feeling unwilling to let Randolph down for Randolph. Randolph's basket finishing rate has indeed dropped sharply this year, and it is difficult for him to score efficiently. This guy is no longer a protective umbrella around him.

Last season, the Black and White Bears basically did not suffer any losses against the Lakers Championship Twin Towers. But this season, the gap is really obvious.

So, only you can stand up and change the situation.
Chapter completed!
