Reverse Growth Superstar

The news that Link might be absent from tonight's game due to fever has become the most interesting news today after he regained the top spot in the MVP rankings.

It can be said that the highlight of this whole game is whether Link can play.

If Link can get on, then the Raptors will likely be cool.

Although this is a bit hurtful, neither Lowry nor DeRozan are players of the same level as Link.

Lowry basically couldn't get playing time for the Grizzlies at first, and later did he finally make a name for himself in the Rockets. From obscurity to league superstar, he is one of the most inspirational players in the NBA. But in the same way, Lowry's talent is indeed not top-notch.

Although DeRozan is a lottery pick, he is a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

In this era when even Gasol took 10 three-pointers in a game, DeRozan was a second position, but he was not good at long-range shooting!

DeRozan's "career masterpiece" outside the three-point line was in the 10-11 season.

That year, DeRozan shot a total of 52 three-pointers, but only hit 5 of them.

The season's three-point shooting percentage was only 9.2%.

If someone says that James has a three-point difference, DeRozan is definitely the first one to refuse.

Therefore, DeRozan has never become an alliance superstar. He is a real All-Star, a good second position, but nothing more.

It's hard to imagine how these two guys are going to contend with a monster who once hit a quad-double in a single game. If Link played lively today, the suspense of the game would be reduced by at least half!

But if Link really can't play, the result of the game can be said to be uncertain.

So whether there is any suspense in this game depends on whether Link will play.

When the two sides warmed up, Link went up and made two shots, but did not exercise much.

When the referee signaled that the starting players on both sides were in place, the Raptors fans finally cheered.

Link really didn't go!

At the beginning of the game, Iguodala took off his training suit and started the game. Link was sitting on the sidelines in a training suit, and "may be absent" immediately became a real absence.

The Raptors therefore got the only chance to win this game!

Georgel was very puzzled, wondering why Link didn't have a good rest in the hotel and received treatment from the team doctor, but had to follow to the stadium.

He also asked Link before the game.

Link's answer was: "I want to fight with my teammates. Besides, if the momentum isn't right, you can put me on it."

Of course, Georgel did not consider the latter possibility at all. Link has been in high fever, even if the Grizzlies are in trouble, putting him on the court will not help.

That's right, Michael Jordan and Dirk Nowitzki have both dedicated their fans to a wonderful "flu battle." But that is just an example after all, and it can't be imitated casually.

The game started very quickly. Apart from the Grizzlies replacing Link with Iguodala, the other four starters were still the same.

But after all, it was a long distance back to back, and Conley and others also had a cold. Therefore, Jogel will greatly reduce the playing time of the starting players today.

The Raptors attacked with all their strength.

Lowry, DeRozan, Carol, Patterson and Valanciunas are all in their five starters, ready to seize the opportunity of Link's absence to end the four-game losing streak!

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors showed their determination to win.

Valanciunas and Gasol are floor-flowing, but the tired Gasol still let Valanciunas fight for the ball.

As soon as he came up, DeRozan leaned on Wade to break through easily and successfully made a layup.

Wade's footsteps today are exceptionally slow, as if he was hanging on a lead.

The on-site commentary also paid attention to Gasol and Wade’s problems, “24 hours ago, the Grizzlies were still fighting the strongest Cavaliers in the East in Memphis, 1280 kilometers away. They fought hard to the last moment, and then they didn’t get any respite. The opportunity to play is now here again to fight another strong Eastern team. I can hardly imagine how tired the Grizzlies players are now."

Everyone knows that the physical fitness of the Grizzlies is not in the best condition, but there is no such thing as mercy in competitive sports.

In exchange for the Grizzlies to counterattack, Jokic passed a good ball to Conley who cut in under his back.

As long as Conley can receive the ball, he can easily attack the frame immediately.

But Lowry is one step faster than Conley today, and Lowry, who is called the "Little Steel Cannon" by the fans, has a weight that ordinary No. 1 players can't match.

His confrontation ability is absolutely outstanding in the first position.

After being hit by Lowry like this, Conley, who was already a little imaginary, even messed up his pace.

In this way, it may be a wonderful and cooperative pass in peacetime, but today it has become a mistake.

Lowry successfully steals, Raptors counterattack!

Facing Iguodala who retreated to the basket, Lowry didn't have any hesitation or fear, and went straight up!

In the air, Lowry gently sent the rebound. Although the whole person fell to the ground during the confrontation, the basketball obediently refracted into the net.

The referee's whistle blows, 2+1.

"Nice counterattack, Lowry played a quick attack after a steal! DeRozan and Lowry scored separately at the beginning. It seems that they also want to end their recent losing streak as soon as possible."

After Lowry fell, DeRozan hurried up and took a hand.

Lowry happily patted DeRozan on the back, then stood on the free throw line.

DeRozan and Lowry, they may be one of the best duo in the league.

They met in this icy "basketball desert" and they all experienced the lowest point of this team.

They know that this team will no longer stand up, and it is impossible to attract any superstars to join. The next character like Chris Bosh may never appear.

In any case, both of them must take up the heavy responsibilities by themselves!

Unless, they are willing to rotten to Toronto for the rest of their lives with this team.

So, the two guys who were not ready to encourage each other, rely on their own strength to lead the Raptors to climb step by step.

Until now, it has become a powerful force that the East cannot ignore.

It's hard to imagine what will happen to DeRozan and Lowry without each other.

When DeRozan is unhappy because of depression, Lowry will make him laugh. On the basketball court, DeRozan is also Lowry's most trusted companion.

In the Eastern Conference finals last season, they faced the Cavaliers led by James, DeRozan and Lowry broke down.

But they were not really crushed, they still encouraged each other, ready to start again!

They still firmly believe that the Raptors can break James' monopoly on the Eastern Conference championship!

They are dubbed the "junk brothers" by the fans, but they are a pair of unusually determined combinations.

Today, when there is a chance to defeat the Grizzlies, DeRozan and Lowry will not be merciful!

They will not allow the losing streak to continue to grow, and will not watch the Celtics throw them off.

In any case, even if they fell and were pulled up by each other, even if they were bruised and bruised, they must end the game!

Lowry, with a firm goal, stepped to the free throw line, hit an extra penalty, and the Raptors started 5-0!

Lowry and DeRozan had a good start for this game, and the exhausted Grizzlies just had a hard time parrying them.

After this, the Raptors' offensive wave was higher than wave after wave. On the Grizzlies' side, after a seven-game winning streak with extremely high gold content, they were somewhat weak in follow-up.

Slow movement, frequent turnovers, and inaccurate shots, all these labels that shouldn't have appeared on the Grizzlies have all appeared today.

Dizzy, Link sat on the bench and kept drinking.

Although he doesn't want to play in this state, he must be prepared. For now, the situation is not optimistic!

The game went through halftime. DeRozan and Lowry scored 14 and 15 points respectively. Looking at the Grizzlies, only Gasol scored in double figures!

The Grizzlies struggled very much ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It can be seen that everyone does not want to end their winning streak. But no way, it's really boring!

Now, the huge score difference of 18 points hangs on the top of the Grizzlies' head. If the situation does not change in the second half, the result will be finalized.

But the point is, the Grizzlies will become more exhausted in the second half... Will they really perform better then?

For the Grizzlies, this seems to be a dead end.

Link stood up and slapped his teammates as they walked off the court.

He admired Lowry and DeRozan from the bottom of his heart, and admired his teammates who never gave up.

But sometimes, it's not enough not to give up.

Looking at the score, Link sighed.

This lazy person today may not be able to steal.
