Reverse Growth Superstar

　　 The Utah Jazz this season is really a model of driving high and low. At the beginning of the season, they had just completed their signings and they were ambitious and wanted to overthrow the Lakers. Their record has gone all the way, and they seem to have the ability to challenge the defending champion.

　　 However, all of this was wiped out in the endless contradiction between Deron and Sloan. Now, in the news about the Jazz, either Sloan wants to resign or Deron wants to be traded. In the case of mixed arguments within the team, the Jazz's record began to decline sharply.

　　 Now that the Jazz has fallen to seventh in the West, they are within easy reach of eighth in the West. All Western Conference teams are waiting for the Jazz to get out of the game, so that means one more spot to advance to the playoffs.

　　 The Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Hornets are undoubtedly the teams that most hope the Jazz can get out of the game soon, so that the Grizzlies and Hornets don’t have to fight for the eighth in the West.

　　 However, you still need to be hard to fight. A team cannot expect to rely on others to lose and advance to the playoffs. What if Sloan and Deron suddenly shake hands and make peace together?

　　 So, while expecting the Jazz to fall behind, the Hornets and Grizzlies themselves did not relax their vigilance. Although Link knows that if history has not shifted, the Jazz's dissolution will be unavoidable, but others don't know.

　　 Therefore, this direct duel between the eighth in the west and the ninth in the west has become a lot of attention. The Grizzlies won, and the record will be equal to the Hornets. If the Grizzlies lose, then the Hornets will further widen the gap.

　　 For the Grizzlies, this is a turning point game. Although the season is still very long, the ranking will definitely change. But to be ranked eighth in the Western Conference earlier, the morale of the Grizzlies players can also be better.

　　 So today, at the Home of the Hornets, at the Ice Sands Kings Center, Link felt a frenetic atmosphere as soon as he stepped onto the court.

Crazy screaming fans, men dancing with their T-shirts, women shaking their long hair, and people in all kinds of strange dresses... The special nature of this game makes the fans of New Orleans become Extremely enthusiastic! It seems that the entire Smoothie King Center has become the scene of the New Orleans Carnival!

　　 "It's crazy, it feels like the playoffs." Randolph looked around for a while, and the frenetic atmosphere had already made the **** bear gear up.

　　 Link didn't play haha ​​with Randolph. From the first second he entered the field, with the help of trainer Marcus Weir, he has been training for turn over jumpers in various positions. This is part of Link's warm-up plan today, and he hopes to adapt to the feeling of shooting in interference in advance.

　　 Because he knows very well, this is destined to be a tough battle. The easy vacancy opportunity will probably not appear easily today.

　　 There is no need for live fans to set off the atmosphere. Link is also full of fighting spirit today. After all, as of yesterday, he was still being sprayed by the media.

　　 Korver’s 60% three-pointers and the Grizzlies’ defeat have pushed Link to the forefront.

　　 Link’s psychological changes are very obvious from the initial self-doubt, to the anger and then to the present belligerence.

　　 Tony Allen is right, you have to keep this anger in your head, and then make everyone shut up!

　　 What's more, the Grizzlies' opponent in the next game is the Houston Rockets that Link has been so worried about. Before playing against the Rockets, Link didn't want his state to plummet.

　　 "Hey, what's the matter with that kid today? Have you ever seen him be so fierce?" Seeing Link frowning and training seriously, Randolph couldn't help but get to Tony Allen's side and gossiping.

　　 "Hey, don't make any mistakes today, Zach. Otherwise, that guy might even eat you." Tony Allen smiled meaningfully. Today's game will definitely be very, very exciting.

"The New Orleans Hornets and the Memphis Grizzlies, this is undoubtedly a focus battle in the West. The strength of the two sides is very close, so if nothing else, this should be a game that requires four quarters to decide the outcome. "

　　 On the commentary stage of the Smoothie King Center, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley are already in place. T.NT TV station sent their trump card commentary lineup, which is enough to show that they attach importance to this game.

　　 There are indeed many things to watch in this game. For one thing, the Grizzlies have been on the cusp recently. Fighting incidents and drug prohibitions have made fans full of curiosity about the Grizzlies. Secondly, Chris Paul of the Hornets is a high-profile superstar. There is always no shortage of people to watch games with stars.

　　 The third and most important point, T.NT predicts that this game will be very exciting and exciting. A wonderful game does not necessarily have to be powerful on both sides. As long as the two sides are close in strength, they can usually play wonderful games.

　　 But for Barkley, there is a fourth highlight in this game-Link.

"I believe you already know it, Kenny. Link seems to have become an indispensable member of the Grizzlies team. When Rudy Gay was injured, he started. Now OJ Mayo is After being suspended, coach Hollins chose to start him. He is definitely one of the most talkative players this year. From the Development League to the NBA, his career trajectory can be said to have been ups and downs."

　　 Before the game started, Barkley brought the topic to Link.

"Yes, Link is a topical player. But in the last game, his performance was hard to be called outstanding. So now people are discussing one thing-whether Link's strength and the opportunities he gets Match? The Hornets start second, Malcolm Belinelli is also a sharpshooter. If Link's defense is the same as the previous game, I believe Belinelli will not miss his chance."

　　 Kenny Smith has never felt anything towards Link. He always felt that if it hadn't been for his special skin color, Link would not have received so much attention. He is an ordinary NBA player, just because of his skin color.

　　 The attention he receives does not match his strength at all.

　　 "Bellinelli? Believe me, not everyone can be as lucky as Korver!" Barkley smiled. Can someone who can defend Kobe still not manage Belinelli?

　　 When Kenny Smith was chatting with Barkley, the starting players of both sides were already in place. Although Link's performance in the last game was bombarded by the media, Hollins knew that Link's defense was not too bad. So today, he still lets Link start.

　　 This is also the starter of Link's third consecutive game with the Grizzlies. Link looked at the opposite half~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Hornets are still very strong in this period.

　　 It is Emeka Okafor who is preparing to jump the ball with Gasol. Although this man is not a superstar, his style is very tough.

　　 The power forward is the All-Star player David West. Needless to say, he was a powerful helper by Paul George during the Pacers.

　　 The small forward is Tvor Ariza who is still young. Ariza is a very reliable 3D small forward since he followed the Lakers to win the championship.

　　 As for the second position, Link's opponent today is the Italian defender Bellinelli.

　　 Belinelli has a stable projection, seasoned experience and few mistakes. It can be said that he is a player of the same type as Korver. I was just annoyed by a shooter in the last game. I met another shooter today. Link can't wait.

　　 Of course, if it were just these guys, the Hornets would not be the Grizzlies’ biggest threat. The real core of this team is the shortest player on the field-Chris Paul!

　　 At this time, Paul has just emerged from the shadow of injury and his state has fluctuated greatly, and his athletic ability has significantly degraded compared to before.

　　 But even so, he is still one of the strongest point guards in the league. A team with Paul and a team without Paul are two levels.

　　 Link stared at Paul, this guy was still quite young. Link can't help but sigh at the thought of the helpless Paul in the Rockets before crossing over.

　　 Just as Link stared at Paul, Paul also just raised his eyes and glanced at Link. The murderous look in this guy's eyes even made Link feel a chill in his back.

　　 The last person who can make Link feel uncomfortable with his eyes is Kobe.
