934: Good March, Bad March

As time enters March, the temperature begins to gradually rise.

In addition to the temperature, the temperature also rises, there are also regular season battle situations.

And, Bill Simmons' social media.

The day after Link said on the t.n.t show that he would give him a hat, Simmons posted a "gift" that Link gave him on his social media, and accompanied it with a concise and easy-to-understand but emotional speech.

"You damn bastard!"

For a time, countless fans reposted Simmons's updates. The number of comments and likes of this update also soared.

But most fans' reaction to this incident was not to sympathize with Simmons, but to think that Link was doing a pretty job!

The empty hat, this is a super gift!

"This is definitely the most thoughtful gift Link has ever given."

"Even Rachel is envious of this treatment."

"I have to say, Link is such a bastard, but a bastard we all like."

The matter between Link and Simmons has been talked about by fans and has become one of the biggest highlights in the league.

In the first round of the playoffs at the end of April, no matter which team the Grizzlies face, the ratings will definitely be overwhelming in that game.

It's not just because of the game itself, but also because Simmons will be broadcasting his headshaving live in the commentary seat.

No one is immune to such a picture, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Whether this scene will happen depends on Link's performance in the last month and a half of the regular season.

At the beginning of March, the Grizzlies played as smoothly as ever. They started with a victory over the Utah Jazz on March 3 and defeated the Knicks by 21 points on March 23.

The Grizzlies have never lost in March and have won 13 consecutive victories. Including the last three games they won in February, the Grizzlies have already won 16 consecutive victories.

With 16 consecutive victories, the Grizzlies finally tied the Warriors' longest winning streak this season.

Moreover, the Grizzlies achieved three ten consecutive victories in a single season for the second consecutive season, which also made history.

On the surface, the Memphis Grizzlies are in a good situation. But only the real Grizzlies fans and Grizzlies players themselves know how difficult it is to play in March.

In March, the Grizzlies' injury curse still did not fade, but the power of the curse was strengthened.

Conley had just played two games back when his ankle injury relapsed. In order to ensure Conley's safety, he has now been directly thrown into the daily watch list.

To put it bluntly, the return date is not yet determined.

Randolph, who had only been healthy for two months, also had a fight after March. Although he did not stay absent, he was also unable to maintain full attendance.

Old Carter has been unable to make a comeback for a long time, which has put the Grizzlies' long-range shooting ability to hit a huge test.

At the worst, Jogel had only 8 people available in a game. Although the Grizzlies' bench was still full of people, when you looked closely, you saw that they were all wearing suits!

It was in this situation that the Grizzlies defeated a 16-game winning streak.

Damn it was Link's continuous super performance.

On March 4, Gasol Jr. served a ball outside the boundary and directly assisted Link to receive the final shot.

On March 16, Link scored 32 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds, and scored a triple-double for the 14th time this season, surpassing Kidd and Grant Hill in 13 seasons, ranking sixth in the league history.

On March 21, Link once again defended Delillard and hit a shooting percentage of only 40%, allowing the Grizzlies to pass the score smoothly.

It is not easy for the Grizzlies to go along the way, and they only had a thought to lose several times.

Although he won 16 consecutive victories, the Grizzlies were in a ruthless way, as if they could fall off a cliff at any time.

After 16 consecutive victories, Stephen A. Smith started his exaggerated expression performance in a show, "If someone else had led the Grizzlies, they would have fallen into the top three! Look at LeBron's Cavaliers, look at Cameron Anthony's Knicks. These two teams have also encountered different degrees of injury problems during the season, but they are not as strong as the Grizzlies!"

Stephen A. Smith once again blew Link and the Grizzlies, but fans know that the Grizzlies are not safe.

It is a miracle that they can win 16 consecutive victories in March with the wounded soldiers full of camp, but it is impossible for the miracle to continue.

Everyone thinks it's only a matter of time before the Warriors regained the first place in the Western Conference, and after the game is in the end of March, the Warriors' chances seem to have come.

After the Grizzlies defeated the Knicks and won 16 consecutive victories on March 23, the Grizzlies fell to the bottom.

In an instant, the entire Memphis entered the darkest moment.

There is no transition between glory and trough, which makes it difficult for all Memphis fans to accept.

On March 25, the Cavaliers, with neat lineups, faced the Grizzlies who lacked Randolph, Carter and Conley, and won 111-107.

The Cavaliers scored 66 points in a combined score, and won the final victory with the key goals of James and Irving in the last moment.

Both sides were actually very anxious in this game, but at the critical moment, Link's shooting rate seemed not that high.

This is not because Link's ability has deteriorated, but because he is really tired!

Originally, after the game entered March, the players were very tired. What's more, Link almost supported the team this month with his own strength.

Therefore, by the end of March, Link was already very tired.

He spends a lot of time every day receiving massage from Judy Saito, and he has reduced the intensity of training during training.

Otherwise, Link would probably be on the injury list now.

Under such circumstances, every time the game ends, Link feels it is difficult for him to hold on.

But when playing against other teams, the Grizzlies will most likely not drag the game to the last moment. But facing the Cavaliers, James, Irving and Love definitely have such abilities.

The victory of this game undoubtedly made Cleveland fans cheer. The Cavaliers finally defeated the Grizzlies with a poor regular season record.

This greatly enhanced the self-confidence of Cavaliers fans.

Facts have proved that the Cavaliers can fight the Grizzlies. The title of this year's championship is not yet final.

However, no one expected that losing to the Cavaliers was just the beginning. In the next two days, the injured and exhausted Grizzlies lost to the Spurs and the Warriors respectively. After 16 consecutive victories, they experienced a three-game losing streak without warning!

Both the Warriors and the Spurs are in great shape. They both know that this is one of the few good opportunities to defeat the Grizzlies.

So both teams gathered enough energy and took the best condition, hitting the Grizzlies to death.

After this three-game losing streak, the whole world was shocked.

The media and fans from the outside world were originally looking forward to the Grizzlies losing, but when the Grizzlies really lost continuously, they found that they were a little uncomfortable.

Three consecutive losses may be just the norm for other teams. But for the Grizzlies, this is an incredible big event!

After all, the last time the Grizzlies lost three consecutive times, it was back to the shrinking season of 11-12! In the past two seasons, the Grizzlies almost never lost well.

Now, the Grizzlies' defeat comes at once, looting the entire league like a flood, and caught the whole world off guard.

Fortunately, in the last game in March, facing the King without Cousins, the Grizzlies successfully won the victory and stopped the momentum of losing streak in time.

Throughout March, the Grizzlies' record of 15 wins in 18 games was actually still very good. After March, the Grizzlies' record also became 62 wins and 11 losses, and they are still the No. 1 in the West.

But the Warriors, with 61 wins and 13 losses, no longer far from the West. The Grizzlies' dominance seems to be swaying in the wind.

With the last half month left in the regular season, injuries are torture the Grizzlies. In addition, the Warriors in their brave state are still eyeing them behind their backs.

It seems that the Golden State Warriors have half their feet on the throne of the West.

After April, Link continued to be the Western Conference Player of the Month with his personal data from the explosion.

This is the fifth time Link has won the best of the month this season. He has become the player with the most monthly bests in NBA history.

Although it broke a terrible record, the atmosphere at the press conference was very heavy.

There is no doubt that this has something to do with the Grizzlies' best losing streak.

At the Best Awards press conference of the Month, a reporter asked Link a question, "At the beginning of the season, you said that you not only want to defeat the Warriors, but also the number one in the West. But now, the situation seems to be very unfavorable to the Grizzlies. Do you still think that the Grizzlies can retain the number one in the West before the end of the regular season?"

After hearing this question, Link's eyes changed. His face suddenly turned from sunny to dark, very serious.

"Memphis Grizzlies still won't fall, and I still count. I know that our injury list is so good that we can read as a phone book. But as long as I haven't fallen, the Warriors can't climb up."

Jogel turned his head and looked at Link beside him. The murderous aura in that guy's eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
