The reporters were excited to wait outside the training hall. Every time they came to participate in the media opening hours of the Grizzlies, the reporters were very excited.

Once upon a time, the Federal Express Arena in Memphis was a place where no journalists wanted to come. But now, it has become one of the birthplaces of explosive news.

As long as you can interview Grizzlies players, you won’t have to worry about lack of traffic.

After looking at the time, the security personnel guarding the entrance of the training hall opened the door of the training ground, and the reporters poured in like sharks smelling blood.

However, when the reporters carrying long spears and short cannons rushed in, they were all stunned.

They looked around in surprise and found that this was indeed the Grizzlies' training hall! But in the basketball training hall, no one was playing basketball!

The reporters only saw the Grizzlies players holding enlarged table tennis rackets and playing giant table tennis on the basketball court, and they all had fun.

"The Grizzlies will still have a game tomorrow?" A reporter whispered to his assistant.

"Yes, the Grizzlies will play against the Celtics at home tomorrow." The assistant nodded.

"Then who can tell me what the Grizzlies are doing now? Are they going to beat the Celtics with table tennis tomorrow!?"

All reporters have this question in their minds, why did the Grizzlies train like a playground?

Seeing that the reporters came in, the Grizzlies players gradually put down their "ping-pong rackets" and had unsatisfied smiles on their faces, just like a child who was suddenly called home for dinner by their parents after halfway through the play.

"Link, are you doing what training you were doing just now?" A local Memphis reporter who was very familiar with Link couldn't help but put his biggest doubts on the table as soon as he got up.

"Training? Have you ever seen training like this? We are just playing." Link waved his hand and looked in a good mood.

Although he played large table tennis, it had nothing to do with real table tennis. However, Link was still the one who won the most times among everyone. This may be the legendary racial talent.

"Well, you still have games tomorrow. The Boston Celtics are also fighting to maintain their playoff position recently. Are you so confident about tomorrow's game?"

"Tomorrow our enemy is very strong. The last time we fought with the Celtics, Paul Pierce's outbreak almost overturned us. We were ready for this. So, don't worry."

Link's answer was very sleek, and he would not make the Celtic feel despised or embarrassed.

But even so, the reporters' surprise could not be concealed. An hour later, photos of Grizzlies playing large table tennis on the training ground became popular on the Internet.

Fans talked about this. The Grizzlies are now in a big traffic and will be discussed in any matter.

Some people like the Grizzlies' "silly temperament" and think the players are very interesting.

And some, especially Boston-area fans, think that the Grizzlies' transition pride will ruin them.

There is no way, the Bostonians have always been very xenophobic. Even if they have lost to the Grizzlies this season, they will not let their xenophobic sentiment decline.

Fortunately, this game was played in Memphis, otherwise the Grizzlies players would really not know what they would be scolded.

The outside world does not understand why the Grizzlies are so indulgent at critical moments, but Elston Turner is looking forward to tomorrow's game.

By then, everyone will know why.

On March 20, the Celtics players showed a sense of ruthlessness in their eyes since they appeared.

Currently, the Celtics have a record of 36 wins and 32 losses, barely ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference.

However, with a full month left in the regular season, the Celtics' playoff spots were not solid.

For a team like the Celtics that has a long history and has just won the championship in five years, it is a very cruel ending to not enter the playoffs.

For this reason, Kevin Garnett has fought to the point where he has run out of ammunition and food, and cannot play due to injury tonight. In the absence of Garnett, the Garnett's chance of winning can be said to be very large.

But Paul Pierce, who has been in great shape recently, has made Grizzlies fans feel a little worried.

After the game started, the Celtics attacked very fiercely. Especially Pierce, his continuous score on Iguodala seemed to make people forget that he was an "old man" who was over thirty years old.

If the basketball game only has 12 minutes, the Celtics will win the ball.

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies lost to the Celtics 22-27. Pierce made 6 of 8 shots in the first quarter and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

Many Boston media have already figured out the title after today's game, "The Grizzlies despise the Celtics, but were killed by the angry Pierce!"

But no one expected that as soon as the game entered the second quarter, the momentum changed. Moreover, it was the Celtics themselves who changed.

After the start of the second quarter, the Celtics' mistakes increased significantly and their offense became overly cautious. Many balls that could be taken were chosen to pass the ball.

Mistakes will cause a counterattack, while hesitation will not lead to a score. Graces will gradually start to catch up with the score and then overtake.

All the Boston journalists were stunned in the atmosphere of cheering Grizzlies fans.

Why is the Celtics playing this ball completely different from the first quarter?

Elston Turner, sitting on the bench, smiled. He could clearly see that the Celtics were too tense!

In the first quarter, the Celtics had no psychological burden. To put it bluntly, those with barefoots were not afraid of those who wore shoes. But after taking the lead in the first quarter, the pressure on the Celtics came.

All they were thinking about was how to maintain their advantages, how to prevent the Grizzlies from overtaking, and how to win the game. However, the more they thought about these things, the more they would make the players become timid.

This is why the Grizzlies coaching staff want to relax the players. It is too tight and sometimes it is not a good thing.

The Celtics gave away opportunities, so the Grizzlies naturally would not let them go. In the second quarter, Pierce was so deflated that she was so embarrassed that she had two mistakes. Link showed his courage and returned Pierce with 12 points in a single quarter, and beat the Celtics 32-20!

In an instant, the Celtics went from leading by 5 points to falling behind by 7 points.

Now, the Celtics were even more panicked. The huge pressure almost crushed the Celtics, causing them to fail to perform well enough in the second half.

In the end, the Grizzlies won the Celtics 110-98 at home.

During the game, the Grizzlies and Celtics' states are completely different. Except for the first quarter, the Celtics have always been unable to play freely. What about the Grizzlies? Players are nervous when they should be nervous and relax when they should be relaxed, which is considered to be a level of play.

Boston journalists were looking forward to a big victory, but they thought that high pressure would defeat the Grizzlies.

But they would never have imagined that the "large-scale table tennis competition" would have such a big impact on basketball.

After this game, the Grizzlies' record became 56 wins and 10 losses. It is one step closer to breaking the record of the best regular season record since the 21st century.

But everyone knows that beating the Celtics can't keep the Grizzlies at ease.
