Reverse Growth Superstar

After the Grizzlies won a wave of seven consecutive victories, Link directly regained the No. 1 position in the MVP ranking.

Link still remembers that when he was ranked No. 1 on the MVP rankings for the first time in his career, the whole world questioned him and said he was unworthy.

But this time, almost no one jumped out and said Link was unworthy.

If Link is unworthy, no one in the league is worthy of this position.

This time, ESPN's reason for ranking Link first is also very simple.

"Victory is the goal of the basketball game, not a triple-double."

Obviously, Westbrook's triple-doubles per game fell short in a series of extremely gold-rich games played by Link's team.

Moreover, Westbrook played against Link twice, which proved that his triple-double does not necessarily bring victory to the team.

The Thunder's current record of 25 wins and 19 losses is indeed difficult to satisfy.

Westbrook's deliberate triple-double behavior has become more and more obvious.

So, without a doubt, Link regained the first place in the MVP!

Although this is just a leaderboard drawn up by ESPN, it does not represent the final result of the MVP selection.

But being able to stay ahead on this list undoubtedly proves that Link is now the closest person to MVP.

Link's return to the top of the MVP rankings can be described as popular. Even Warriors fans can't fault Link.

To have record and record, to have data and data. Even in terms of Link's personal performance when playing against other superstars, he still has the advantage.

Westbrook is very unwilling, so far in his career, he has not won the regular season MVP once.

How can you prove that you are stronger than Durant without getting the regular season MVP?

Unfortunately, Westbrook's opponents are too strong. Even with a triple-double per game, Link's status cannot be shaken.

When fans all over the world cheered for Link's return to the MVP ranking, Link did not have time to be happy.

On the night after the battle with the Cavaliers on the 20th, the Grizzlies team flew non-stop to Toronto.

On the 21st, they will play a back-to-back away game against the Raptors in Toronto.

Since it is winter now, the temperature in Toronto is terribly low.

And most of the night from the airport to the hotel, you have to go through several changes from air-conditioned to not air-conditioned.

The frequent alternation of cold and heat is really torture.

So, early the next morning. As Link returned to the top of the MVP rankings, the chief team doctor Moon also informed the team: "Link has a high fever and may miss tonight's game."

"This **** schedule, fortunately everyone else is okay." After learning the news, Georgel couldn't help shook his head.

From Memphis to Toronto, a 2.5-hour journey, 1280 kilometers.

He really can't figure out why the league should arrange such a long-distance back-to-back game. Moreover, there are still two places with great temperature differences.

In fact, from a basketball perspective, back-to-back matches really don't make any sense.

But the NBA has always been a business league. In order to enrich the schedule and reap more dollar bills, back-to-back games have become commonplace.

To put it bluntly, back-to-back games are not for basketball, but for commercial value. Therefore, the players will definitely feel uncomfortable because of back-to-back matches.

"Actually... we have several players who also have colds, but they are not at the point of fever. So strictly speaking, other people are also okay. I think you also have some colds, Dave."

Mu En curled his lips. Although it was just a common cold, it was still quite distressing that so many people were caught suddenly.

Georgel touched his red nose that was rubbed with paper, and smiled embarrassedly, "No way, Toronto is really cold."

As for Link, he also agreed to the proposal of a truce tonight.

With a high fever and weakness, Link felt that it was more uncomfortable than a clavicle fracture.

Although the bone fracture was painful, at least he could still work hard, and Renren passed.

But now Link is too troublesome to connect and get a glass of water, and he feels soft!

Besides, this is just a regular season, and the Toronto Raptors and Grizzlies are not deadly enemies. Therefore, there is no harm in missing a game.

Link played with an injury after a bone fracture, because he was in the playoffs and couldn't help it.

In fact, Link still values ​​the regular season this season.

He wants to challenge the 74 wins he broke that year.

This year the Grizzlies are in perfect form and the lineup is also perfect. They are the best chance to challenge this record.

But I have to say that this is a very difficult record to break.

74 wins means that the Grizzlies only lose 8 games a season.

So far this season, the Grizzlies have lost 4 games.

In the next three months, he only lost less than 4 games. I have to say that this is really a fantasy.

But...what is the need to break the easy things?

How easy is it to surpass someone like Jordan to become the number one basketball superstar in history?

Jordan's promotion of the entire league and the spread of basketball is unmatched by modern players anyway.

Therefore, if you really want to surpass Jordan, you have to achieve better results than him, and use the results to make up for the lack of historical status.

Jordan only won 72 wins once, so good, I will win twice, three times!

Previously, Link had won 70 wins and 74 wins once, but that was not enough.

If he can lead the Grizzlies to an unprecedented three 70+ wins, then he believes that the distance between himself and Jordan should be closer.

Of course, all this must be based on ensuring the health of teammates and yourself.

If everyone is exhausted, Link also asks everyone to forcefully cause injuries in order to break the record. This is definitely not worth the gain.

Link won't lose the championship for the regular season record.

So for today's game, Link can only wait and see.

Teammates can handle the Raptors, it’s best, but if others can’t...

Link can only decide whether to play or not.

Therefore, even though he agreed to the truce tonight, Link still told Jogel not to put himself on the injured list.

Every victory from now on is very important to Link.

DeRozan and Lowry sat in the locker room, and they said nothing.

The Toronto Raptors have lost four games in a row recently, and their record has become 28 wins and 17 losses. They were officially surpassed by the Boston Celtics and fell to second place in the East.

This is a result the Raptors do not want to see.

First in the regular season division? That's not the true goal of the Raptors.

The reason they want to rank first in the Eastern Conference is that they don't want to meet the Cavaliers early in the playoffs.

James' rule in the East makes all teams desperate. Every promising Eastern Conference team wants to avoid the Cavaliers in the playoffs as much as possible.

If the Cavaliers were killed early, it would undoubtedly be a joy to everyone.

And if the Cavaliers finally make it to the conference finals, then there will be a chance to compete with the Cavaliers for the finals.

And the only way to avoid the Cavaliers is to get the first place in the East!

Whether it is second or third, it is inevitable to meet the Cavaliers in the second round.

Although James is not very eager to win the regular season, he will 100% guarantee that the team will be among the top three.

Therefore, only to get the first place in the Eastern Conference, can you guarantee that you will not meet the Cavaliers before the conference finals.

Of course ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Division 4 and 5 can also avoid encounters with the Cavaliers in the second round. But apart from a bad team, who is willing to lose on purpose?

And if you are not sure about the degree of loss, you will be completely overturned.

The situation is very serious for the Raptors. They want to go as far as possible in the playoffs this season. The top ranking in the East is the basic condition.

And the four losing streak just past has undoubtedly given them a blow.

So Lowry and DeRozan are now very under pressure as the two head stars of the Raptors.

If they lose to the Grizzlies again today, they would have lost five straight games!

At this moment, Lowry suddenly raised his head and looked at DeRozan with a look of excitement, "There is a chance, DeMar! The news said that Link may miss the game because of fever!"

Hearing what Lowry said, DeRozan slightly raised his head and clenched his fists.
