One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty Seven: The Old Gangster’s Poisonous Milk

The battle between Link and Doncic seems to be a close match just based on the data.

After all, Doncic's score is only 3 points less than Link. The assists and rebounds data don't seem to be much different.

Therefore, many people will think in an impressionistic way. The Grizzlies can win not because Link is stronger than Doncic, but because the Grizzlies' overall strength is stronger than the Mavericks.

But after people watched the game video, they completely changed their minds.

Doncic was guarded awkwardly by Link in the second half, making his performance completely incomparable to Link's.

Doncic's shooting percentage in the entire game was less than 30%, which also made his 28 points extremely low in gold content.

In fact, Link guarded Doncic seriously for one quarter in the last game.

But it was that quarter in the third quarter that changed the trend of the entire game.

The whole reason Doncic was able to score 28 points was simply because he only played against Link for one game.

If this were the playoffs, Link would absolutely control Doncic from the first second of the game.

Doncic will not be surprised when the time comes, let alone 28 points, he will be defended by Link and score in single digits.

The superstars of this era are helpless against Link, and the super newcomers belonging to the next generation are also helpless against Link.

Link takes them all, young and old.

"This is Link's way of welcoming Doncic into the ranks of superstars. He used his full defense in one game to tell Doncic how long the road ahead is."

"In almost just one game, Link killed Doncic. Link was telling him that it's not time for you to cause trouble yet."

"Although Doncic praised Link after the game, we all know that he must have been uncomfortable during the game."

Doncic is now the object of sympathy from major sports portals.

The photo of this guy with messy hair and a lonely expression was also made into an emoticon by Chinese fans saying "I was so scared at that time".

He might be able to come close to beating James and Lillard.

But defeating Link?

As Nowitzki said,

Doncic still needs some luck.

Unfortunately, luck was not on the Mavericks' side yesterday.

Old Dirk is really honest.

He knew very well that Link had never fallen behind in education.

However, after the game, Link did not mock the Mavericks and Doncic. On the contrary, he posted a photo of himself and Doncic when filming a commercial on social media to encourage Doncic to move on.

This is very rare, Link has never been a "good guy". He would rather "destroy" than encourage.

However, this still proves the specialness of Doncic.

A person who was favored by Link... Maybe this time, everyone didn't make a mistake.

After this game, the Grizzlies have won seven consecutive games.

The seven-game winning streak is the longest winning streak in the NBA this season.

The Grizzlies' current record of 8 wins and 1 loss also ranks first in the league.

For comparison, the Eastern Conference's powerful Milwaukee Bucks currently have a record of 6 wins and 3 losses, while the Los Angeles Clippers have a record of 4 wins and 2 losses.

No team's record can compare to the Grizzlies.

Amid the voices that "the Grizzlies have greatly reduced their strength this season," Link's team still produced a dominant performance.

When neither superstar nor super talent can solve Link, it is expected that the Grizzlies may usher in another wave of terrible winning streak.

In the next two games, the Grizzlies did win as expected.

Against the Spurs at home on November 11, the Grizzlies won the game with little effort.

Once upon a time, the battle between the Spurs and the Grizzlies was a beautiful sight in the Western Conference.

GDP and Leonard have both had fierce battles with the Grizzlies.

But now, even the ivy vine of the Spurs is about to wither.

So far this season, the Spurs have a record of only 5 wins and 4 losses. DeRozan and Aldridge are obviously not a very likely combination.

DeRozan struggled in the Spurs, and Aldridge is not a particularly aggressive star.

And an issue that is often overlooked is that Aldridge is no longer young.

He was once considered to be Duncan's successor, but now he is almost 35 years old.

These two guys, who are not considered first-line superstars in the league, bring a bunch of players who may not be able to play in the rotation of other teams...

The Spurs really don't have much competitiveness in this brutal Western Conference.

However, the Grizzlies, who competed with the Spurs for a ticket to the Finals, remained strong.

This may be the first time in NBA history that a team has remained competitive longer than the Spurs.

In this game, facing the Spurs who lacked hard power, Dillon Brooks and Jokic scored 21 points and 18 points respectively.

Just the two of them are enough for the Spurs to have a good drink.

Therefore, Link simply scored 24 points today and led his team to win the game 113-99.

The ivy has withered, but the grizzly bear is still the enemy of the world.

On November 13, the Grizzlies traveled to Charlotte to face the Hornets.

After the Hornets lost their star player Kemba Walker, this season will naturally be dominated by failure.

Although they exchanged Terry Rozier from the Celtics for his aggressive performance in the playoffs last season. But if you expect him to take the Hornets into the playoffs right away, that's undoubtedly a fantasy.

There is no suspense about this game, but it still attracts much attention.

The reason is simple - Michael Jordan will be here to watch the game today!

What will happen between Link and Jordan also makes fans look forward to it.

Jordan didn't give Link too many surprises today. He just had a casual chat with Link before the game.

Moreover, there was no substantive content discussed. Link estimated that Jordan mainly wanted to find some shots for reporters.

It has to be said that now that Mr. Joe has become a businessman, his thinking is different from his thinking as a player.

In the past, he might have been thinking about how to win, but now he is only thinking about how to maximize profits.

Interacting with Link is a way to maximize benefits.

Today, it was not Jordan who surprised Link, but Rochelle.

Rozier's character has always been very strong, and he was not afraid even when facing the Grizzlies, the league's No. 1 team.

What's more, the Grizzlies also have Conley, the league's number one "upgrade package."

Rozier played very actively today, as if he had been holding back for several days, just to vent all his energy on Conley.

Rochelle missed a lot of shots today, and this game, which was originally without any suspense, became ups and downs.

Although the Grizzlies have always been in control of the initiative, they cannot completely get rid of their opponents and cannot widen the points difference.

It's a pity that Rochelle's lack of strength was exposed at the critical moment.

At the critical moment, Rozier, who was under great pressure, missed all three shots, while Link scored consecutively.

With Link's consistent outstanding performance at critical moments, the Grizzlies still won the game 117 to 112, with no danger.

Rozier made 7 of 12 shots from beyond the three-point line in this game, with a shooting percentage of 58.3%.

With this super high three-point shooting percentage, Rochell also scored 33 points.

However, Link's 39 points clearly outperformed Rozier.

After the game, local commentators in Charlotte joked: "Michael definitely didn't tell his players not to get crazy in front of Link. Because you will only get an even crazier response from Link."

After the game, Jordan, who was interviewed by reporters, also expressed his appreciation for Link.

"It's a very pity game. The Grizzlies have been giving us hope, and I always thought we could overtake the score. But this is what Link is best at. He will suddenly close all the windows at the last moment and throw you into a complete Taking away hope in the darkness. This approach is more cruel than not giving you hope in the first place."

Jordan said, shaking his head. Although he is only the owner of the Hornets now, the feeling of having his hope taken away by Link himself still makes the "old gangster" very uncomfortable.

"Link's performance at critical moments was dominant. I said before that only Kobe, LeBron, Dirk and Duncan could survive in the 90s. But now, I have to add Link to the mix. Even in very rough situations. In the 1990s, Link will definitely become a superstar."

After Jordan finished speaking, reporters seemed not to have heard enough. After all, Jordan rarely brags about his juniors in front of the camera.

So the reporter asked another question: "Link only needs to complete one more buzzer beater now to tie LeBron on the NBA's all-time buzzer beater list, ranking third in history! Do you think Link can eventually rank in history?" Where is your rank? By the way, you are ranked second on this list, and the first one is Kobe. Do you think he can successfully surpass you?"

Faced with this problem, Jordan spread his hands: "I don't know, but I'm sure that Link will soon be tied with LeBron for third place in history. He never seems to miss at critical moments."

Jordan finished speaking and ended the interview. There is nothing wrong with what he said. The season is still long, and Link has more opportunities to meet the ultimate goal.

But no one knew at this time that Jordan's mouthful of poisonous milk would actually trigger a series of chain reactions...
