One Thousand One Hundred and Forty-Eight: The "Facial Paralysis Guy" Actually Took the Initiative to Speak
Westbrook made 8 of 13 three-pointers and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 61.5%.
Such a three-point performance is extremely rare throughout Westbrook's career.
Facts have proved that Westbrook is indeed a responsible core of the team. When the team needed to move up one spot, he showed his best form.
However, the ending of this game was very cruel for the Thunder.
Westbrook performed perhaps his best three-point performance of the season, but still failed to win the victory.
The Grizzlies' strength makes Westbrook's magic worthless. As Link said, no team in the league knows how to beat the Thunder better than the Grizzlies.
With their 72nd victory in a single season and their second 20-game winning streak, the Grizzlies' regular season this season is basically complete.
Next, the Grizzlies have four games to play, facing the Spurs, Knicks, Pistons and Mavericks respectively.
It can be said that these games are almost stress-free. Because even if they lose to the Spurs, the Grizzlies still have a chance to win 75 games!
75 wins in a single season...well, now Link can proudly declare that "this is a record that will never be broken."
At the press conference after the game, the reporters seemed more excited than Link.
The media reception room was noisy, and all reporters were asking about things related to the regular season.
"You have set a new historical record. How do you feel now?"
"This is the second time you have achieved 72 wins in a single season. This is twice as many as Michael Jordan! Is there anything you want to share about this?"
"Link, your performance in the regular season this season is simply unmatched. So after this game, will you start taking turns?"
The reporters were getting more excited, but Link himself was very calm.
Just like at the end of the game, the fans were cheering and the teammates were celebrating. Only Link himself stood there calmly.
The reporters found that Link was in a low mood and felt a little strange.
Created such an awesome record,
Under normal circumstances, Link would definitely talk nonsense.
However, all of Link's answers today were just average.
Just when the reporters still couldn't figure out what the problem was, a question related to the playoffs made Link instantly excited.
"In this way, the ranking of the Western Conference has basically been determined. The opponent of the Grizzlies in the first round has been determined to be the Portland Trail Blazers. Coincidentally, in the first round of last season, the Grizzlies also played against the Trail Blazers. The two players met. At that time, you advanced with a total score of 4 to 2. So do you think you can pass safely this season? "
"I hope we can. The Trail Blazers are difficult to deal with. They may be one of the strongest eighth teams in the Western Conference in history. However, I don't want to fight them for six more games this year." When answering this question, Link said The excitement returned.
It was only then that the reporters suddenly realized that it was not that Link was not interested in this victory, but that all his thoughts were already focused on the playoffs!
Link's goal for the regular season has been accomplished, but he won't be complacent about it. Link will never be satisfied until the playoffs are over!
"You don't want to fight the Trail Blazers in six games? What do you mean..."
"While Damien may not be happy to say this, I have to admit that we need to get rid of the Blazers as soon as possible. They caused us too much trouble last season and it exhausted us from the first round. This year , this won’t happen again.”
Link finally smiled for the first time after the game today.
How do you make a team's historical records great? It's very simple, you just need to win the championship!
The reason why 72 wins is so great is not only because of 72 wins, but also because the Bulls won the championship in the end.
Lillard felt tons of pressure at this time. He met the Grizzlies in the first round for two consecutive years. He was simply the unluckiest person in the world.
The relationship is good, but Link's visits are really too frequent...
※※※
The Grizzlies won 20 consecutive victories for the second time in a single season, which made them hot again at the end of the regular season.
warrior? The defending champion was completely forgotten by the fans at this time. Last season they won the same 74 wins as the Grizzlies in the regular season, but this year, they couldn't even win 70.
After the Mavericks in the 11-12 season, the Warriors are definitely the most insignificant defending champion in the regular season.
Nowadays, there are overwhelming reports about the Grizzlies, and no one cares about the Warriors at all.
The routine is the last four games, and Joger can finally let the players take a break.
The playoffs are approaching, and the Grizzlies still need some rest.
So in the game against the Spurs on April 5, the Grizzlies were defeated by the Spurs 95-89 with the main players and substitutes splitting the playing time.
This is the first time the Spurs have won against the Grizzlies this season. After losing to the Grizzlies three times in a row, the Spurs finally got their revenge.
The Grizzlies' winning streak was finally ended, but as of now, it doesn't matter at all.
Of course, Leonard and the other Spurs players will not be too happy about winning this game.
They all know that the Grizzlies did not go all out today. Winning against such a Grizzlies is not very convincing.
So after the game, Link discovered that Leonard actually came up to talk to him for the first time.
"Link."
Hearing a deep voice calling him, Link didn't realize what was going on.
When he turned around and saw that it was Leonard, he was even more shocked.
"Huh? Kawai? What do you want from me?" Link was a little at a loss. In his memory, this should be the first time Leonard came to see him privately.
"It's nothing, I just hope I can have a good game with you in the playoffs. I know you didn't do your best today, so winning this game means nothing. You must hold on in the playoffs. See you in the Western Conference Finals. .”
After saying that, Leonard walked away.
Link froze in place and scratched his head.
He had never heard Leonard say so many words at once in his life!
But...see you in the Western Conference Finals...I didn't expect that Leonard was actually a bit of a midfielder.
He came here specifically to tell me this. Is it some kind of agreement?
Link smiled and shook his head, not thinking more about it.
No matter who plays in the Western Conference Finals, as long as the Grizzlies go to the Finals, it doesn't matter.
If Leonard really wants to compete with himself, he must first defeat the Warriors in the conference semifinals.
Since then, Link has another reason to cheer for Leonard.
Maybe, that guy can really change history?
This year's playoffs are becoming more and more interesting.
After the game with the Spurs, the Grizzlies continued to rest. But even so, they still won three consecutive games at the end of the season.
Facing the three lottery teams of the Knicks, Pistons and Mavericks, the Grizzlies can win even if they don't perform at their best.
Maybe that's the huge difference between a 70-win team and a lottery team.
On April 12, the Grizzlies defeated the visiting Dallas Mavericks 104-93 at home, defeating their last opponent in the regular season.
This also means that the Grizzlies won a league record of 75 wins in a single season this season. From now on, the Grizzlies will no longer be on an equal footing with the Warriors for the league's most wins in a single season!
When the Warriors just tied their 74-win record last season, the Grizzlies immediately threw the Warriors away again!
"This is a great season, and Link has proven that he is indeed a great player! The failure of last season has resulted in the Grizzlies bottoming out this season! Get ready, the real monarch has returned Got it!"
Link looked around at the fans who were worshiping in the stands, at the three championship banners on the FedEx Arena dome, and at the hardwood floor beneath his feet.
One year goes by really quickly! In the blink of an eye, it's that time again.
75 wins in the regular season is just a warning. Now, the real bloody revenge has just begun!
