Conley completely destroyed Isaiah Thomas.

Today's game against the Kings was more anxious than people imagined. The Kings performed well, especially Cousins, who restrained his temper today and did nothing unnecessary.

So, this big guy who can run, jump and shoot has caused a lot of trouble to the Grizzlies.

But the trouble only lasted for two quarters. In the second half, when Mike Conley began to share the scoring pressure and clamped Thomas Jr., the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Grizzlies more and more.

In the end, Cousins ​​scored a large double-double with 22 points and 17 rebounds at the Federal Express Arena. However, Conley's performance of 25 points and 6 assists and Link's 26 points and 6 rebounds and 4 assists still allowed the Kings to lose by 13 points.

It is worth mentioning that Thomas Jr. made only 5 of 14 shots today. Although he scored 14 points, his shooting percentage was only 35.7%.

Mike Conley's outstanding performance made Cousins ​​lose his most trusted helper.

After the game, the reporters were more concerned about Link's data and the Grizzlies' achievements that had won two consecutive victories.

Although Conley scored 25 points and 6 assists, people seemed to think he was right, and everyone was used to it.

Since he is used to a player scoring 20+5 data, why can't he be selected as the All-Star?

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of exposure. In the original history, the Grizzlies had little exposure, and to be honest, Conley's performance was not very prominent among the star point guards. Therefore, when everyone performed similarly, Conley was often ignored.

But now it's different. The Grizzlies are the defending champion, and the whole world is watching the 10-game winning streak. Link believes that as long as Conley can continue to output during this period, he will get unprecedented attention.

At this point, the Grizzlies have won two consecutive victories and have excellent results. But there is still a long way to go from 10 consecutive victories.

The whole world is waiting and seeing, and finally on January 20, people waited for the Grizzlies' third consecutive win!

On January 20, the Grizzlies played against the Pelicans at home. This is the third time the Grizzlies have met the Pelicans this season. The Grizzlies won both of the previous two times.

When the two teams met for the first time this season, Link "educated" Davis with all-round data of 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. During the second encounter, Davis was injured and the Grizzlies easily won.

Today, Davis returns, the Pelicans have a complete lineup and they are determined to win.

Davis did not disappoint everyone, scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 steals in the whole game! You can clearly see how eager Davis is for victory, and he will not give up any opportunity to destroy the Grizzlies' offense.

Link was taken care of by Davis today, and he had to face the attacks of two long-handed monsters, Amino and Davis.

At the beginning, Link was not very efficient, after all, the defense of these two people was really fatal.

But then, Conley again, he bravely stood up and helped Link break the gap.

When Conley began to attract defense, he in turn started assisting Link. With the joint attack between Link and Conley, the Grizzlies finally defeated the Pelicans 102-95.

Once again, Link and Conley teamed up to fight against the enemy. When the game ended, Conley's data remained at 23 points and 10 assists, people suddenly discovered it.

This guy Conley has some operation!

He may always seem unknown, but whenever Link needs him, he will stand up in time to give Link the greatest support.

With Randolph's condition slightly declining due to his age, Conley has become the best offensive helper around Link this season.

After this game, Conley finally attracted the attention of reporters. On the sidelines, Conley was interviewed by reporters. The reporter asked Conley, "Do you think you can be selected for the All-Star lineup this season?"

Conley did not answer yes or no, but smiled easily, "It has to be left to others to judge. All I can do is show it."

The day after the game ended, on January 21, NBA officially announced the fourth round, which was the result of the last round of voting before the All-Star Game.

After the results were announced, the biggest news was undoubtedly that Link successfully took the throne of the All-Star vote king for the first time in his career with 1.41 million votes!

LeBron James' final vote was 1.38 million, which was very close to Link. But this time, the "Little Emperor" could not wear the crown.

Kevin Durant is still ranked third, and he finally broke the embarrassment of his "thousand-year-old second" and became the third.

1.25 million votes, this is Durant's final result. I have to say that it is still far from Link and James.

But now, Durant doesn't care much about the All-Star voting. When it comes to this matter, Durant can proudly tell reporters, "I have defeated the vote king this year, and it has been twice!"

At this point, the all-star lineup between the East and West has finally been released.

The East is Irving, Wade, George, James and Anthony. It is worth mentioning that this time there is no pure inside player in the East.

On the West side, the lineup is Curry, Harden, Link, Durant and Griffin.

The Western Conference's starting lineup is somewhat unexpected, because two new faces, Harden and Curry, appeared.

Due to injury, Paul's popularity lagged behind Curry in the third round of voting. Unexpectedly, Paul failed to complete the counterattack in the end, allowing Curry to be on the lineup. This was the first time Paul failed to be selected into the All-Star after joining the Clippers.

Kobe was unable to participate in the competition due to injury, so Harden took the lead and replaced him.

Howard has completely failed this year. His ranking in the voting even after Griffin and Love had no chance to enter.

Curry and Harden are both selected for the All-Star lineup for the first time, which seems to herald a new era is coming.

In any case, Link once again became a member of the All-Star lineup. He is no longer surprised by this.

Link’s identity as King of Picks also proves the saying, “As many people love you, they will hate you.”

Although Link is usually badly criticized, his popularity is really high. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to vote for Link.

Link became the All-Star vote king, which undoubtedly made Memphis fans very proud. After all, he is the first All-Star vote king in the history of the Grizzlies, which means that he is not just a star of the Grizzlies, but a superstar of the entire league!

All-time, players who can become the All-Star vote king are not good at it.

The whole of Memphis was in a carnival, and the media that supported Link became full of confidence.

Link was also very happy, but not just because he became the vote leader. At the same time as the lineup was announced, Link discovered a small change in voting ranking. This change was the source of Link's happiness.

After the results of the fourth round of voting came out, in addition to determining the lineup, everyone's final votes were also determined. After the fourth vote, Conley successfully surpassed the Spurs' "French sports car" Parker and rose to fifth place in the Western Conference defender.

Although this still cannot make Conley 100% enter the All-Star, at least it means that he has attracted people's attention.

I believe that Conley will have some advantages in the next substitute lineup selected by coaches from the league's 30 teams.

At this point, Link has achieved his small goal this season. The dream of becoming the All-Star vote king has been realized, allowing Link to call himself a top star with confidence.

After defeating the Pelicans, the Grizzlies' victories have accumulated three consecutive victories. They have met the Oklahoma City Thunder again, with 6 games left. Game 7 is the time to finish everything.
Chapter completed!
