One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Three: The Sworn Enemy Is Approaching Every Step of the Way (1/5)

Durant and Green pretended to cough to taunt Link at the press conference, which was probably the biggest news before the All-Star break.

Although Durant and Green were criticized by everyone, Durant also bowed to the pressure and apologized calmly on social media.

But once the knot is tied, it is not so easy to untie it.

It was clear that Link once again meant what he said. Whenever reporters ask questions related to Green and Durant, Link's answers are always mixed with words starting with F and B.

Joke was very distressed by this and gave Link a ticket and a warning.

But Link still went his own way and didn't shy away from it. He said that he would no longer respect Durant and Green, and he did so thoroughly.

It's not a joke that Link has been banned from the game, but it doesn't seem right to ban a star who is being promoted at a time when the All-Star Game is about to begin...

As a result, they could only allow the conflict between Link and Durant to intensify.

Finally, the arrival of the All-Star Weekend brought some relief to this matter. Everyone's thoughts have also shifted from the conflict between Link and Durant to the All-Star Weekend performance.

After losing to the Warriors, the Grizzlies defeated the Pelicans and Nets, which somewhat appeased the anger of Memphis fans.

However, this matter has only come to an end, but it is far from over.

In this year's All-Star Game, even though Durant and Westbrook played the emotional card to bury the hatchet, Link and Durant still refused to deal with it.

Reporters discovered that Durant and Link were the only two players on the Western Conference All-Star team who never said a word to each other.

Even in the performance-oriented All-Star game, Link and Durant were secretly competing. After one team scores a goal, the other team must also score a goal before giving up.

It seems that Link and Durant were lucky enough not to have a fight in the same locker room.

The two had absolutely no intention of reconciling at the All-Star Game.

Although this year's All-Star MVP was finally awarded to the host Anthony Davis who scored 52 points tonight.

But after the game is over,

The most discussed ones are Durant and Link.

These two guys are like modern-day Jordan and Isaiah Thomas. Throughout their playing days, they seemed unable to reconcile.

As soon as the All-Star Game ended, the conflict between Link and Durant was still a hotly discussed topic.

In this atmosphere of competition between the two heroes, who can reach the finals this year between Link and Durant has become the biggest attraction in the Western Conference.

Of course, no matter how loud the fans are, it doesn't mean anything.

Who is the master of this alliance must be determined by seniority based on performance.

In the Warriors' first game after the All-Star break, they easily defeated the Clippers.

The Clippers were unable to compete with the Warriors due to Paul's injury.

Curry defeated Paul's replacement Austin Rivers with 35 points and a 60% three-point shooting rate.

The next day, the Grizzlies also ushered in their first game after the All-Star break.

All fans hope that the Grizzlies and Link can extinguish the arrogance of the Warriors and Durant with a victory.

However, their ending was not as good as that of the Warriors.

On February 24th in Indianapolis, the Grizzlies unexpectedly lost to the Pacers.

The Pacers' record so far this season is only 29 wins and 28 losses, which is not too amazing.

Although because of Paul George, the Pacers are still considered a force that cannot be ignored. But at this time, they are no longer one of the championship contenders.

However, this is such a team that can only be considered a playoff level, but it played a perfect game.

Of course, Link's performance was as good as ever. George tried his best and could only barely tie with Link.

But others on the Pacers shot well from beyond the three-point line today.

In this game, the Pacers shot 46.3% from three-point range, which is undoubtedly far above their average.

The Pacers are only shooting 37.6% from three-point range per game this season, and they are not a team that relies on three-pointers to win.

Pacers coach Nate McMillan still emphasizes defense and positional offense.

Therefore, even McMillan himself was surprised to be able to defeat the Grizzlies in such a way.

Pacers legend Reggie Miller, who was commentating on this game, couldn't help but smile and said: "If the Pacers could achieve such a shooting percentage every night, they would have been No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. I have to say, today Luck was on the Pacers' side."

The Grizzlies only won two games after losing to the Warriors, and then immediately faced another loss. This was unexpected by many fans.

Therefore, it is very difficult to maintain a winning streak in the long regular season. Basketball games are full of all kinds of surprises and variables, and not the stronger team will definitely win the game in the end.

Luck is also one of the unexpected factors.

After the game, George hugged his old friend, Link.

Link sincerely blessed George. After all, it was at stake here, and Link really couldn't be angry.

If another team had beaten the Grizzlies today, it would be weird if Link would hug them warmly.

However, after this unexpected defeat, the Grizzlies' record also became 52 wins and 6 losses.

There is still a little more than a month and a half left in the regular season, with a total of 24 games.

If Link wants to set a new high record in the regular season, it means that they will only be allowed to lose one more game in 24 games in more than a month and a half!

In an instant, breaking the 74-win record became a hellish task.

What's even more worrying is that after the Warriors defeated the Clippers yesterday, their record has become 50 wins and 8 losses!

The Grizzlies lost again today, and the gap between them was further narrowed.

At this time, there is only two games left between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, and it seems possible to overtake the Grizzlies in the rankings at any time.

Sure enough, as soon as the game between the Grizzlies and the Pacers ended, the Warriors fans cheered.

"I have long said that the Warriors will work hard after the All-Star Game. The time for the Grizzlies to remain No. 1 in the Western Conference is over!"

"Like most previous cases, the Grizzlies seemed a little tired after the All-Star Game. It seems that the first place in the regular season this season still belongs to the Warriors."

"Hahaha, this way, the Grizzlies won't say stupid things like regaining the championship. Facts have proved that no matter how difficult the situation is, the Warriors can handle the Grizzlies!"

For a moment, Warriors fans were as excited as if they had won the championship.

Being able to get closer to the grizzly bears was something they had been looking forward to for countless days and nights.

The fans were making such a fuss that Green, who had never been too troubled, started tapping on the keyboard.

"A champion is always a champion, and we will soon take back everything that belongs to us."

At the end of this sentence, Green also added a crown emoji.

This tweet undoubtedly escalated the tension between the two sides.

Anyway, Green is not afraid of fans' complaints, so even if there was a "coughing incident" just now, Green is still tirelessly provoking Link.

Obviously, the Warriors want to regain first place in the Western Conference after the All-Star break to show their dominance.

In order to achieve this goal, they will only press forward step by step in the remaining one and a half months.

The pressure is now all on Grizzly Bear and Link's side.

You never get peace when you're chasing a super team.

The ranking battle between two mortal enemies has officially begun!
