660: Gloomy Warcraft (5/5 ask for a monthly pass)
In the past, when people were lifted up in the NBA league, people would definitely think of Richard Hamilton, one of the "Five Pistons Tigers".
But Hamilton's peak era has been too long since now. If you lift the mask again, the first thing people think of is Link.
Although Link had only played two games with a mask, the two masks in both games were classic.
After the game with the Warriors, the league also chose to remain silent. Link put stickers on the transparent mask, which was equivalent to playing a verge against the league rules.
However, since Link did not bring any negative impact, he also set off a wave of mask fanaticism among the fans, adding a lot of popularity to the league. Therefore, the league did not continue to care about this matter.
In the next game, Link even pasted Rachel's name, and the league would not object.
Seeing his same mask become popular on the Internet, Link was not proud.
Of course he liked the mask Rachel transformed for himself. Although it was just two small stickers, he was very attentive.
But now, Link has focused all his attention on 15 consecutive wins. He didn't care much about this record, but Dwight Howard's conceited attitude still made Link feel a little disgusted.
The winning streak of the start of the game actually does not represent the strength of a team. The Mavericks scored the second longest 14-game winning streak in history in the 2002-03 season, but eventually lost the ball in the Western Conference Finals, resulting in the team being almost forgotten.
The 57-58 Celtics led by "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell, also created the start record of 14 consecutive victories. However, because he lost the finals, this record is rarely mentioned.
Then why is the Rockets so famous for their 15-game winning streak? In fact, it is not only because this is the league's longest winning streak, but also because the Rockets won the championship that year.
If Olajuwon had not led the Rockets to win the championship that year, then this record would not have been so famous.
To put it bluntly, the championship is the bottom line. Other records are at most icing on the cake.
The Warriors' 73 win record in the future is great, right? But because they didn't win the championship, they now mentioned 73 wins. The first thing people think about in their hearts is not great, but the ridiculous joke of the 73 wins and the runner-up.
Therefore, Link was very interested in this record at the beginning. But now, he really wanted to let the Rockets roll from the top position in history as soon as possible.
Howard brags, but Link is not responsible for cooperation.
In fact, this is not the first time Howard has annoyed his opponent this season.
In the past, Howard gave people the image of a sunny boy. Although he had a great style of playing basketball, he had a very good personality and smiled at any time. He had basically never had any conflicts with anyone. During the magic period, even though Garnett wanted to cause conflicts many times, Howard ignored it.
But after working with Kobe for a year last season, Howard's smile became less. He became less optimistic and was very angry on the court. He always squirted about trash words and even punched each other.
Until now this season, Howard has been snatched more than once because of the conflict on the court. This guy seemed to be holding his breath, trying to prove that he is still a superstar and win respect again. And anyone who looks down on him holds a grudge.
I wanted to prove that I was fine again, but Howard used too much force and the direction of the force was incorrect.
It’s not that the worse you are on the court, the more people respect you.
However, Howard is going further and further on the road to "becoming bad". Now, the whole world knows that Howard has a bad temper. But this has not restored his popularity to his peak, nor has he won more respect.
In the basketball world, we always have to speak with basketball.
Howard also knew this truth, so he chose the strongest opponent and then called it: "Guarding the glory of the space city."
Link is not used to having problems. He can provoke me, but he has to be prepared to be attacked.
So after leaving the Bay Area, Link wore a mask again and led the Grizzlies to two victories.
On November 22, in Memphis, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Suns, who were still on the edge of the playoffs.
The Suns' goals this season are somewhat unclear. With two excellent defenders, Dragic and Bledsoe, the Suns want to make the playoffs. But Andrew Wiggins, the 14-year No. 1 pick who is called James 2.0, is really too attractive.
Therefore, the Suns play well and badly in the game. Sometimes weak teams can lose, and sometimes they are not afraid of facing strong teams.
Today, this struggle has continued into the game. When you think the sun is about to catch up, they are soft. When you think they give up, they are tougher.
Today, Suns coach Jeff Hornersek's daughter Abby Hornersek was present today. Before the game, Link was invited to take a friendly selfie and leave each other's phone numbers.
Little did he know that after Link came on the court, he immediately turned against him, with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Link did not give the struggling Suns any face, helping the Grizzlies to get seriously injured at home.
The "beauty plan" that Jeff Hornersek imposed was completely miscalculated.
After fighting with the Suns, on November 25, the Grizzlies killed the Celtics led by the previous coach in Boston.
The Celtics have completely entered the reconstruction, but there is no shortage of highlights. Jeff Green, the big brother who once Durant had been in the Thunder, has been like a return to the scene this season.
Last season, Jeff Green's career score reached the lowest average of 12.8 points since his rookie season. But until now, Green's average score of 18.3 points per game has made significant progress.
In addition, as many as 7 players have averaged double-digit scores per game this season.
I have to say that the champion coach from the Grizzlies still has two tricks.
But the Celtics' hard strength is incomparable to the Grizzlies, so it's the same as the first time the two sides have played this season, and the Celtics lost at home.
This year, there will be no more Celtic fans, and they can still let the Grizzlies go back to the countryside with a proud look.
After the game, reporters rushed forward and surrounded the Grizzlies players completely.
It’s not because this game is so exciting, but because after the Grizzlies won this game, they tied the 14-game winning streak set by the Mavericks in 202-03. At the same time, this is also the second longest winning streak in the league!
Faced with this historic moment, the reporters certainly won’t be idle.
Next, who can end the Grizzlies' rampage has become the hottest topic.
Link was also asked about this question, and taking this opportunity, Link responded to Howard's arrogance and rudeness.
"I don't know who can stop us. The basketball game is ever-changing. If you predict the results rashly, you will be as embarrassing as Bill Simmons. But I'm sure that the Houston Rockets will not be the one who can stop us. By the way, the Rockets' record is only 9 wins and 5 losses now, right? Come on Dwight, otherwise you will fall out of the top eight."
Link's answer turned black.
The reporters all smiled and shook their heads. They could do anything with Link, just don't have a verbal battle with him.
