One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty: I Will Be the 6th Man and You Will Be the MVP

When George and Leonard merged, Los Angeles fans were clamoring that the NBA was about to end.

The ultimate Clippers will crush everything in front of them.

But the Grizzlies told the world that the NBA has no final outcome. It is the defending champion who has the final say!

Just as ESPN evaluated the Grizzlies, they are the kings. It's other people chasing grizzly bears, not grizzly bears chasing other people.

Exactly one month after the start of the 19-20 season, the Grizzlies re-established their status as the king.

Indeed, the Grizzlies' lineup has undergone a major overhaul this summer. The rise of other teams makes the Grizzlies' road to defending the title look full of thorns.

But from the opening game victory over the Nets to the victory over the Clippers, the Grizzlies used a record of 13 wins and 2 losses to prove that they are still the strongest team in the league.

After the game against the Clippers, the Grizzlies basically defeated all the strong teams in the Western Conference this year.

Against the Lakers, Link scored 61 points. Against the Rockets, the Grizzlies won by 34 points! Against the Mavericks, Link defeated the super genius Doncic.

The Clippers seemed to be the only team left in the Western Conference that could compete with the Grizzlies. As a result, Link used his unparalleled dominance to solve the league's strongest forward combination.

After the game, Christine Lacey's show specially invited Link, hoping he could come and participate.

Faced with the invitation of this well-known "beautiful mature woman", most stars would not refuse, but Link refused.

"Since she thinks the Clippers are the championship, then invite the championship members in her mind to participate in the show."

Link didn't give Lacey face, there was nothing he could do about it, the league's most famous star was just so arrogant.

As for Sam Smith, the old reporter was embarrassed again.

He finally waited for Link's opportunity to embarrass himself, but he never expected that Link would be able to complete the winning shot in such an incredible way.

Even though he had experienced the Jordan era, he thought it was an incredible shot.

Jordan's strong shooting ability is already abnormal enough, but with Link's kind of ball, Sam Smith estimates that even if Jordan comes, it will be enough.

Link surpassed Michael Jordan... This seems to be an irreversible situation.

Of course, it was not just Link who became popular after this game, but also Derrick Rose, who was competing against Lu Wei.

Overnight, Rose's attention seemed to have returned to his MVP period.

The rose, which has been forgotten in the corner, once again returns to everyone's sight.

Rose's data itself is not bad, but the key is the state he shows on the court that makes people shine.

His pull-up layup, his change of direction, and his step-back jumper are all so pleasing to the eye, and he doesn't look like a scarred veteran at all.

"If I were to pick one of the most underrated players this season, Derrick Rose would definitely be among them."

"Give any championship team a sixth man like Rose, and their strength will definitely rise to the next level."

"He is no longer the MVP, but he is still a good player. If Rose can stay healthy, he will definitely be able to produce his best personal performance in recent years!"

Rose became popular, just like Link made people re-recognize the grizzly bear, Rose also made people re-recognize themselves.

The next day, during the media opening period between the Grizzlies' training sessions, a large number of reporters were ready to interview Rose.

The youngest MVP in NBA history is reborn from the ashes. Is there any hotter topic than this?

Link has also been observing Rose. He has returned to the spotlight and crawled out of hell again after struggling in New York, Cleveland and Minneapolis. Rose should be very happy and has a lot of things to say to people. Bar.

However, Rose's reaction surprised Link.

In front of the camera, Rose had no expression on his face and spoke in an understated tone, just like usual.

He didn't complain about the snub he had received in the past, nor did he praise his wonderful performance yesterday.

He was like a hermit who had no desire for fame or popularity, and was indifferent to the sudden gaze.

"Okay, I'm done. Next, we have to continue training. Thank you for your concern."

After saying a few words, Rose said goodbye to reporters and returned to the locker room to rest.

Link also quickly ended the interview. He also returned to the locker room and found Rose in the physical therapy room, wearing headphones and receiving a massage from the physical therapist.

Seeing Link walking in, Rose took off his headphones and smiled at Link: "Did the reporters let you go so quickly today?"

"They were all chased away by the press officer, otherwise they would have stayed in the training hall all day." Link shook his head. The busiest person during each media opening time was Link.

"By the way, I see that you are quite popular with reporters today. Why don't you talk to them more?" After talking about himself, Link brought the topic to Rose.

"There's nothing to talk about. I'd rather stay with myself than chat with them."

“Don’t you want to embrace the spotlight again?”

"I'm not interested. I once had everyone's attention. So I also know that those things are not reliable. When they don't need you, you will be kicked away faster than you think." Here, Ross smiled helplessly.

Yes, Rose was given up by the Bulls and traded by the Knicks. In Cleveland, Rose didn't even stay for one season.

In Minneapolis, even if Rose performed well, no one believed he could still gain a foothold in this league.

He had been abandoned by the whole world, completely abandoned.

Therefore, when the world opens its arms to Rose again, Rose will no longer hug them.

"Yeah, the spotlight is unreliable, the championship is the most important." Link smiled, Rose was far more divided between love and hate than he thought.

Rose is not a person who likes excitement. Even at his peak, he didn't care about the spotlight at all.

He has always been a loner, walking alone on the path of his pursuit.

It's a pity that God made jokes with him again and again.

But this time, there will be no more jokes.

"You're right, the championship is the most reliable...Thank you Link, thank you for trusting me. When I was at my lowest, you still let me join your training camp. In my When you were most confused, you invited me to join the championship team. I will try my best to help you every night just like yesterday! I don’t need the spotlight, I don’t need anyone’s attention. I just want to help you win, Lin Gram! Of course, I will also help myself win. For those who still trust me, I will not let them down!"

Rose said, looking down at his hands. He just needs to win now: "I will be your best sixth man, you will be the MVP, and we will win the damn O'Brien Cup together!"

"Haha, the best sixth man? Thank you for your hard work, Derek."

"You're the MVP."

Rose and Link shared a similar smile. Sometimes when men have to reach an agreement, it's that simple.

The next day, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Pacers 126-113 in Indianapolis.

Link is still the most dazzling player in the Grizzlies. He scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, giving the Pacers' new core T.J. Warren a good lesson.

Rose lived up to expectations and silently helped the team while Link was resting.

In the matchup with Brogdon during the rotation, he efficiently scored 17 points and 5 assists, showing a performance that was completely unafraid of young people.

The chemical reaction between MVP and sixth man is growing like crazy!

Of course, what this MVP pair can do is far more than that.

Any team with two MVP players at the same time has power beyond imagination.
