One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Five: This Year’s Christmas Rivals
At the post-game press conference, Nunn showed reporters what it means to be truly convinced.
When the undrafted draft pick was asked, "How does it feel to play against Link again?" Nunn was silent for a long time, and then sighed.
"It just felt like, I'm just glad I'm alive. For a while, I thought I wasn't going to make it out of FedEx Arena alive."
When Nunn answered like this, even Jimmy Butler sitting next to him was a little surprised.
Who is Naen? This is a guy who once said, "I am more qualified to win Rookie of the Year than Zion Williamson." Yesterday, he shamelessly said, "I have all the qualities in Link."
In Butler's mind, Nunn has always been a desperado who feared nothing.
But now, he is saying this?
"So, how do you evaluate Link's performance today?" the reporter asked again.
Nunn spread his arms, "I can't comment, I can only question. How could someone be like this in this world?"
After hearing Nunn's answer, Butler shook his head. That guy Link was really careless.
In the last game, Rui Hachimura was given a clean sheet, and Nunn was completely shut down again today.
He is worthy of being the most ruthless person in the league, and he abuses even the poorest people so thoroughly.
Looking at Nunn who was in a daze, Butler shook his head.
It may take some time for this guy to get back on his feet.
After the game against the Heat, Link once again made news in the entire sports circle.
The Grizzlies beat the Heat, who are in the first tier of the Eastern Conference this season, with 19 points. Link has averaged 39.3 points per game in three games since playing against the powerful Bucks, leading the team to overcome the difficulties and fulfill his promise to win ten consecutive games.
Such an achievement naturally made Link praised by the media again.
"The Grizzlies' first ten-game winning streak may come later than before, but it will never be absent!"
"Link should return to the top of the MVP rankings. He is still the strongest player in the league, bar none."
"It's hard to imagine that this is the state of a player who is about to retire.
Only he can end Link's rule. "
Only a month and a half into the season, Link has regained control of the league.
Although there are indeed many strong teams this season and the competition is fierce. But the Grizzlies have proven that even in such extreme conditions, they can still be the best of them all.
Nunn's series of answers at the press conference have become classics.
It seems that no matter whether it is a super genius like Doncic, a lottery pick like Hachimura or an undrafted player like Nunn, Link will not let them go and take them all!
Of course, this also makes fans look forward to the meeting between Link and this year's No. 1 pick Zion Williamson.
"Fat Tiger"'s performance this season is obvious to all, and he is indeed worthy of his status as the top pick.
With Ingram and Holiday around him, Williamson is still able to average 23 points per game this season.
For a first-year rookie, he is very strong.
I wonder if Link will also accept the powerful Williamson?
Link VS the new top pick, this is almost the highlight of every season.
Unfortunately, the Grizzlies and Pelicans will not meet for the first time this season until the end of next month.
The showdown that fans are looking forward to cannot be staged in time. Therefore, the media must also find a new stimulus to continue to play the Grizzlies' warm-up.
The day after the game against the Heat, in a basketball program on .T, O'Neal and Barkley predicted how long the Grizzlies' winning streak would last, making a big fuss about the Grizzlies' winning streak.
Buckley believes that this is completely impossible to predict. Because the Grizzlies' next opponents, the Thunder, Cavaliers, Kings and Spurs, seem to be unable to cause substantial trouble to the Grizzlies.
"The Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the most surprising teams this season. Chris Paul and the young people of the Thunder have an incredible chemical reaction. But no matter how unexpected it is, the Thunder are not a strong team in the first tier of the Western Conference. , there is still a gap between them and the Grizzlies."
"The Cavaliers and Kings are both lottery teams, so I won't elaborate more. As for the Spurs, their situation this season is also very bad. This is the year when the Spurs are most likely not to make the playoffs. The last time the Grizzlies faced off They beat the Spurs by 14 points. Now, the Grizzlies, who are in better shape, are fully capable of widening the gap."
Barkley briefly analyzed the strength of these teams. He believed that no team among them could stop the Grizzlies.
Ultimately, Barkley concluded: "So, how long the Grizzlies' winning streak will last depends entirely on Link's mood."
But O'Neal, as Barkley's old enemy, will naturally disagree.
"You're right, Charles, the Thunder, Cavaliers, Kings and Spurs. These four teams may not be able to stop the Grizzlies from raging. But don't forget, the Grizzlies will continue to play Christmas this year. I think , the Philadelphia 76ers, the Grizzlies’ opponent in this Christmas game, have the ability to stop the Grizzlies.”
When O'Neal said this, he introduced the topic of the Christmas War.
I have to say that O'Neal and Barkley are really old friends. Before you know it, you can bring out hot topics.
This summer, the Philadelphia 76ers, who "believe in the process," have completed their process and want to bear fruit.
As a result, they have become one of the busiest teams this summer.
With Embiid and Simmons as the core, the 76ers introduced three heavyweight players in Richardson, Tobias Harris, and Al Horford this summer, forming a very luxurious starting lineup. .
Among them, Richardson and Harris are still champion members of the Grizzlies' three consecutive championship dynasties, and they have championship genes.
With Leonard heading west to Los Angeles, it is generally believed that the 76ers, who have reached the conference semifinals for two consecutive years, can become the new Eastern Conference hegemon.
Therefore, the league put this game, which was considered a "preview of the finals," into the Christmas game.
The 76ers have lived up to expectations. Although the team has exposed various problems, their current record of 20 wins and 8 losses is indeed quite outstanding.
Therefore, it is understandable that O'Neal believes that the 76ers can compete with the Grizzlies this season.
"So, the Grizzlies' winning streak lasts to 14 at most. In Game 15, they lose to Philadelphia on Christmas Day, that's my prediction."
As soon as O'Neal finished speaking, Barkley burst out laughing: "You really know how to joke, Shaq. The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Grizzlies? Hahahaha, what did you rely on? Ben Simmons' three-pointer?"
If Simmons were watching TV right now, he would definitely be drawing a circle and cursing the fat bald guy.
Unfortunately, Simmons is currently partying in a nightclub.
"Of course not, but Philadelphia has an inside advantage. When Joel Embiid faces Jokic, I don't think he will lose. And Link, who is about to face the wing defense of Simmons and Harris, will It was a very tough fight.”
"So, do you think the key to the 76ers' victory is Embiid? Indeed, Embiid is the player with the highest scoring average per game for the 76ers this season. He was also selected to the double second team last season, proving that he is a first-line superstar in the league .But...come on, the opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies."
In the subsequent program, O'Neal and Barkley began to argue with each other on a daily basis on the topic of "whether the 76ers can end the Grizzlies' winning streak."
Everyone knows that Barkley and O'Neal have a very good relationship in private. On the show, they fight each other, which is just the effect of the show.
But there are really people in this world who take TV shows seriously.
For example, Joel Embiid himself.
After O'Neal's show with Barkley ended, Embiid quickly posted a social media update.
Then, all the fans' attention shifted from Link vs. Williamson to the Christmas Day battle between the Grizzlies vs. the 76ers.
Embiid said on social media: "Don't involve me! Don't compare me with Jokic, I can defend. Also, I'm not fat."
Emperor" goes to war, social media will definitely become very lively.
