One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Four: Not an Easy Opponent (2/5)

After the All-Star break, the momentum between the Warriors and Grizzlies seemed to reverse.

Although the Warriors are still two games away from catching up with the Grizzlies, at this time, their players and fans are as arrogant as if they have won the first place in the Western Conference.

Obviously, the Grizzlies' two losses in February gave the Warriors great confidence.

After a devastating winning streak, the Grizzlies' two losses gave the Warriors hope.

Facts have proven that even a team as strong as the Memphis Grizzlies cannot win from beginning to end.

When they miss, it's the Warriors' chance to take the lead!

At this time, the warrior is like a hunter lurking in the jungle. If the grizzly bear is distracted in the slightest, it will be killed in one blow!

After losing to the Pacers, many people were worried about the Grizzlies. To be honest, even Link was a little uneasy.

But Link did not bring these negative emotions to the court. On the training field the next day, he actually encouraged his teammates.

As a player, you have the right to be frustrated, but as a team leader, you can never expose your worries and frustrations.

If even the team leader panics, then the military morale of the entire team will not be so strong.

With Link stabilizing the team's morale, the Grizzlies did not appear particularly depressed after losing to the Pacers.

On the contrary, everyone is gearing up and can't wait to win the next game to stop losses.

At this juncture, the news that the Warriors continued to win hit the screens of all sports news websites.

"112 to 95, the Brooklyn Nets are no match for the defending champion."

"The Warriors are one step closer to the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference. Everyone on the Grizzlies must be under a lot of pressure now."

"The Warriors won the first game, which will definitely bring a lot of pressure and trouble to the Grizzlies. We don't know if the Grizzlies can withstand such high pressure."

The Warriors took the lead to win, and the whole world was worried about the Grizzlies. The Warriors' pressing offensive is indeed suffocating.

The only good thing for the fans is that the Grizzlies' opponent in the next game is not a strong enemy.

The Phoenix Suns, who are currently ranked not even among the top eight in the Western Conference,

In the eyes of many people, he will be wiped out by the Grizzlies without any suspense!

After all, the first two meetings between the two sides ended with the Grizzlies winning. Devin Booker, the young core of the Suns, is certainly full of potential, but there is no way to threaten Link's status.

However, some fans don't think the Grizzlies can get through it easily.

Again, there are many surprises in basketball games, and no one knows what kind of surprises will happen in the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns.

The Grizzlies have been under so much pressure recently, and they just lost a game they shouldn't have lost, which greatly increases the chance of accidents.

So, inexplicably, the showdown between the league's number one team and a team that couldn't even make the top eight in the Western Conference turned into a focus battle!

Grizzlies fans hope that Link can lead the team to a hearty victory over the Suns and put an end to the recent troubles.

The Warriors fans are eager for the Grizzlies to continue to overturn. As a result, there will only be one win gap between the Warriors and the Grizzlies!

Link himself also takes this game very seriously.

But this is not because of the huge pressure. Link and Grizzly have actually long been accustomed to high pressure.

Link attaches great importance to this game for one reason - Devin Booker.

After the Grizzlies defeated the Grizzlies in the first two games, Link could feel the strong unwillingness in Booker's heart.

That kid might also want to take the opportunity to make big news.

There were only two people left in the huge training ground.

One kept shooting from all angles outside the three-point line, while the other was sitting on the sidelines with his eyes fixed on the young man in front of him.

"Okay, Booker, there is a game tomorrow." The man off the court shouted, and the sound of the basketball hitting the wooden floor finally stopped.

"Phew, I'm not tired yet, Earl. I'm afraid, once I stop, this hot feeling will float away." The young man named Booker stopped his shooting action and looked at his hands.

During the confrontation training this afternoon, Devin Booker discovered that he has a very good touch and can shoot no matter how he shoots.

So at night, he stayed and continued to practice shooting to maintain his touch. As a result, it still feels surprisingly good.

Amidst the wonderful sound of basketball hitting the net again and again, Booker felt that his shots were getting stronger and stronger. Although he was sweating profusely, he had no intention of stopping.

Until his head coach, Earl Watson, who had just retired as a player less than three years ago, just stopped him.

"Is it possible that you are still planning to vote all night today? Don't worry Booker, your hand won't go anywhere, it can't escape." Watson has been here with Booker for a long time, just to prevent Booker from getting too excited Practice too late.

Devin Booker is now one of the most popular players among the players who entered the industry in the 15th generation. It can even be said that he is the most popular player in the 15th generation besides his college teammate Towns, the number one pick in 2015.

The talent of No. 2 pick D'Angelo Russell has been questioned, and No. 3 overall pick Jahlil Okafor has been on the bench for the 76ers.

Porzingis has played up to his worth, but next to Anthony, his light has been somewhat overshadowed.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Booker is the most popular player among the 15 players except the No. 1 pick.

But even so, Booker still worked very hard. For him, his current achievements are not enough.

This boy's ambition is no longer as simple as surpassing the players of his generation.

Booker often practiced late this season, so Watson simply stayed to practice with him.

When the time is up, force Booker to leave.

"Well... I hope so. If we can't shoot like this in tomorrow's game, I'm afraid we won't have much chance of winning." After Booker finished speaking, he clenched his fists.

Tomorrow, he will face the Grizzlies and Link for the third time this season.

He still can't forget the scenes of the first two tragic losses.

Indeed, the Suns are just a team still in the process of rebuilding. Indeed, Booker cannot now compare with Link in terms of strength or ability.

But Booker really wants to win once. He doesn't want to be as helpless as a high school kid every time he faces the Grizzlies.

"Maybe, who knows? The Grizzlies have been in a lot of trouble recently, and there's no guarantee that tomorrow will be our opportunity. Well, don't think that I will let you stay. Let's go, save your strength until Let’s go tomorrow.”

Booker smiled and nodded slightly.

The lights in the training hall went out row after row. The training hall, which was brightly lit just now, suddenly became invisible.

But the sweat Booker shed here will never be wiped out like lights.

Just like what he had experienced in the previous 20 years.

A young player's desire for victory is as strong as a boy who has just passed his ignorance period for a girl.

And this desire often leads to endless unexpected factors in the game!
