Reverse Growth Superstar

Before the Christmas game, photos of the Grizzlies players gathering were posted on social media by Gasol.

For a time, they became the computer wallpapers of countless Memphis people.

The photo of Link and the others is indeed quite different from that of the players in the ordinary sense. The "bandit spirit" displayed by the Grizzlies is very much in line with the team's villain temperament.

In fact, this photo with the photo is full of gangsterism not only because everyone wears a suit and cigar, but also because of the black and white filter.

It's because the group of people taking pictures doesn't look like good people.

Needless to say, Randolph, that guy has never been associated with the word "good guy".

The old Carter with a cigar in his hands is somewhat "old society".

Even Dravidova, who wears sunglasses, looks like a mafia. Of course, he is more like a bodyguard next to the boss.

Not to mention Link, who sits in the middle. ESPN's "League No. 1 is not easy to mess with", if there is no villain temperament, it really can't help this title.

What's more, at the bottom of this photo, there is a footnote of "Memphis Gang" blatantly written. What I don't know is that it is a film still called "Memphis Gang".

This photo is loved by fans, not only in Memphis, but has caused a frenzy of reposting on a global scale.

Fans even called it "the most classic photo in Grizzlies history."

But the league certainly doesn't like this kind of group photo full of "negative images." The Grizzlies and Link now seem to be the most naughty children in the class.

But the most irritating thing is that this most naughty kid has the best grades...

It's really not easy to joke this "class teacher" to punish him.

No, after the Christmas party, the Grizzlies immediately won another battle.

On December 23, the Grizzlies played at home against the Utah Jazz, who are currently 8 wins and 20 losses.

After three less intense battles, the Grizzlies easily brought the Jazz closer to the top pick.

The Jazz's lineup has actually begun to take shape, Hayward, Gobert, Ingles, Hood, Favors and other powerful factions are in the formation.

But if this lineup wants to exert its power, I am afraid it will have to grow for a few more years.

Faced with the yet-to-be-developed Jazz, even if the Grizzlies players just attended the party last night, they are comfortable with it. In just three quarters, the winner was decided.

Link came off the field after half of the three quarters. His data at the time was 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

If the distance to the triple-double is only one or two stats, Link may really trash the time.

But when the data was still much worse, Link also gave up the idea of ​​flushing data in garbage time.

He is not Ricky Davis, anyway, there are still more chances to get a triple-double.

Besides, Link is now number one in the league with a record of consecutive triple-doubles, so there is no need to bite the bullet.

As a result, Link's consecutive triple-double record was officially interrupted in this game, and it was frozen in 10 games.

But even so, people think this is a record that can hardly be broken.

Unless there is a data brush like Chamberlain in the future, or Link breaks the record himself.

Otherwise, this record will most likely be sealed forever.

Although Link's consecutive triple-double record was interrupted, people did not think that Link's days of raging the league would also end.

After the Grizzlies defeated the Jazz, they have achieved the longest nine-game winning streak of the season!

And because of the same day, the Golden State Warriors also lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.

In other words, the Grizzlies were able to return to the first place in the West again after nearly a month!

He has done all the promises Link gave when he came back

He not only led the team to win the Warriors, but also quickly regained the first place in the Western Conference. During this period, so many records were also broken.

The magic of the Warriors became eclipsed in front of the Grizzlies. Since Link came back, the Grizzlies have not lost the game, as if there is no one in the league who can stop the Grizzlies.

Now, the eyes of the world are on the Houston Rockets.

In the Christmas War, they are the only hope to prevent the Grizzlies from winning 10 consecutive victories and continuing to wreak havoc.

When mentioning the Houston Rockets, people will think of Link's extraordinary 63 points that day.

If you want to select the biggest background board so far this season, the Rockets are definitely the champion. Because speaking of the Rockets, Harden, Howard and McHale all have to be ranked behind Link's 63 points.

As a result, many people have forgotten that the total score of the Rockets and Grizzlies so far this season is actually 1 to 1. Both sides have won each other once, and did not show a one-sided situation.

It's just that when the Rockets won, Link didn't play.

But this does not mean that the Rockets must not be able to beat the Grizzlies with Link. After all, they are one of the few teams in the league to lose more than double digits.

So far, the Rockets have a record of 20 wins and 7 losses, second only to the two "perverts" of the Grizzlies and the Warriors, ranking third in the West.

After the Rockets experienced a run-in at the beginning of the season, they began to exert their strength gradually. In December, they played a wave of six consecutive victories and found their own way to win.

Howard became more blue-collar, and James Harden got more firepower.

In such a situation, Harden lived up to expectations with super-giant data.

Since December, Harden has averaged 30.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.

He and Curry are the biggest obstacles to Link's best way to take the month consecutively this month.

A Harden who has taken a super-giant state and Link who has been slaughtered after his comeback are completely worthy of a stage like the Christmas War.

Of course, the Rockets also know that Harden alone can hardly compete with Link.

Link scored 63 points because the Rockets' striker was so weak that almost no one was available except Ariza.

As a result, poor Zaza was beaten by Link to Fatty.

The Houstonians know very well that if they really want to make a difference this season, they must improve their lineup for the Grizzlies.

So the day before the Christmas war, on Christmas Eve, the Houston Rockets suddenly announced a piece of news that made people unprepared.

"Josh Smith, who was just waived by the Detroit Pistons on December 23, received a one-year contract from the Rockets. The two sides signed a lightning contract, and McHale said that Josh will appear directly in the Christmas game the next day!"

As soon as this news came out, the Christmas battle between the Grizzlies and the Rockets seemed to have another highlight!

After signing a major contract with Detroit, Josh didn't play his worth. In the end, Van Gundy couldn't bear it and cut Josh, who had two years of contract worth 26 million.

The rest of his salary, the Pistons will be paid in five years.

Although Josh proved unable to be a good star in the Pistons, he couldn't be a good leader. But the Rockets signed him as a substitute, which is more than enough!

After all, just a year or two ago, Josh was still considered one of the best small forwards in the league~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now that the Rockets have won Josh, they undoubtedly have greatly supplemented their combat power, especially The power of the flanks!

McHale wanted Josh to appear on the stage so soon, and it was obviously to deal with Link!

It is precisely at this juncture that Tony Allen has just been exposed to an injury to his right cornea during training.

In other words, the next game the Grizzlies will lack a strong backup wing.

The combination of Ariza and Josh, coupled with Tony Allen’s accidental injury, all these factors add up, it seems that the rocket's flanking problem is really solved perfectly.

The Rockets' victory over the Grizzlies with Link no longer seems to be a low probability event.

The president of the league Adam Joke immediately announced that he would visit the Federal Express Arena on Christmas Day to watch the Grizzlies and Rockets game.

He seems to want to witness the whole process of the Grizzlies being forced to stop the rampage...
