One Hundred and Forty: Confidence to Break Through the Upper Limit of the Body
The four-game losing streak still somewhat depresses the atmosphere within the Grizzlies. Although the four opponents they lost to were all league powerhouses, there were even championship favorites like the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs. But to lose is to lose, there is no excuse.
The schedule in March is indeed too difficult for the Grizzlies, and there are still a large number of powerful enemies waiting for them in the next half month.
On March 17 and 19, the Grizzlies will face the Knicks and the Indiana Pacers, who also want to qualify for the playoffs.
On the 21st, it will be against the Utah Jazz, and on the 23rd, it will be against the Celtics with the Big Three. No. 25 against the East's No. 1 Bulls, and No. 27 against the Spurs...
These opponents, no team is easy to fight, and the Grizzlies basically have a tough fight in March.
But fortunately, the Rockets are now five games away from the Grizzlies. As long as the Grizzlies don’t keep losing streak, they will basically not be caught up.
But in the case of the NBA, who can say for sure? Hollins still feels a lot of pressure on himself. With such a good momentum this season, if he fails to make the playoffs in the end, he will fail people's expectations too much.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies got a "breathing" opportunity before the Devil's schedule kicked off in the second half of March. On March 14, they will face the last-placed Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference.
For the Grizzlies, this kind of "send warmth" team at the bottom of the division must not be missed.
But the Clippers are a very special weak team. Although the Clippers are now ranked at the bottom of the West, they are almost the most combative team in the bottom.
The composition of this team is very strange, they have last year's No. 1 pick, this year's All-Star forward Blake Griffin. There is a deputy during the time of James Cavaliers, and the second scoring point next to James is "Mo Buchuan" Mo Williams. There is Eric Bledsoe, one of the strongest rookies this year, and last season's All-Star center Chris Kaman.
If it weren't for the injury problem, the Clippers would have had third-year guard Eric Gordon, who averaged 22.3 points per game this season!
Just by pulling this list out, it's hard to believe that this is actually a belly team. After all, there are only three players in the team who have been selected to the All-Star Game!
Because of this, the Clippers have also overturned many first-class teams this year. They overcame the Oklahoma City Thunder and were one of the few teams to beat the Spurs this year. "Queen Bee" Chris Paul was also knocked down by the Clippers, and even the Miami Heat were defeated by the Clippers.
At the end of February just past, the Clippers also played a wave of four-game winning streak, and many of the teams defeated were such powerhouses as the Celtics and the Nuggets!
It can be seen that the Clippers are not the kind of belly team that can be won casually. They have a certain fighting power, and if they are in good shape, they can even fight to the end with the strong team!
So the Clippers opponent, you say he is strong, he is the last in the West. You say he is weak, his lineup and past records are really unambiguous.
If it weren't for the Clippers' poor start to the season and some injury problems, the Clippers might have really competed with the Grizzlies for a playoff spot this year.
And when the Clippers face the Grizzlies, Griffin, the first rookie to make the All-Star Game since Yao Ming in 2003, will definitely be very cranky and try his best.
Link has stole the limelight in the rookie game this season, but in the regular season, Griffin will definitely not let himself be defeated by Link...
Thinking of this, Hollins felt that his anxious hairline seemed to have risen a few centimeters. The devil's schedule really lives up to its name.

In the empty training hall, the wonderful notes of the friction between the basketball and the net made Marcus Weir full of accomplishment.
The Asian striker in the training suit was sweating profusely,
But the shooting percentage is still very stable. When unguarded in training, Link's goals usually come in streaks.
Being able to train an undrafted player into a little star gives Will a sense of accomplishment. Although Link's progress is not due to him alone, but he is the one who accompanies that kid to practice every night.
Will doesn't know why Link is so persistent, because his performance is good enough.
Playing Anthony to complete a quasi-lore, throwing the winning shot on Chris Paul's head, being selected for the All-Star Rookie Game and winning the rookie game MVP... In NBA history, there has never been a second undrafted rookie season. Can be more successful than Link.
Whenever Will thought Link must be satisfied, the undrafted would say to him, "Will, keep practicing tonight."
Link's goal when he came to the Grizzlies was to stay in the NBA, but now that's not the case.
"Okay, stop!" At this moment, Marcus Weir called to stop Link's training because he had already completed today's open shot project.
Link pulled up his jersey and wiped it, "How's your shooting percentage today?"
"73%."
"Sure enough, it's too low!" Link shook his head. For NBA-level players, the 3-point shooting rate of 73% during training is not too high.
The last time he went to training in Los Angeles, Bryant said that when he practiced three-pointers, he basically kept his shooting rate at about 80%, and he once created a miracle of 63 consecutive balls.
Before Link crossed over, he saw an interview about Curry, saying that in a three-point training, Curry made 100 three-point shots, and the elementary school students made 94 shots! During this period, he hit 77 goals in a row!
Compared with these guys, Link's hit rate today is really not that good.
"It's normal for shooting practice to have fluctuations in shooting percentage, and even the best athlete can't guarantee that his shooting rate will remain stable every night. So I suggest you go home early today to rest. Feel or feel bad. The more you practice, the more biased your shots will be.”
"I haven't practiced shooting in today's distraction, Will. What, going out on a date with a girl?" Link Thief smiled and looked at his trainer, Will.
"Date a guy, train with you every night, where can I find a girl! From now on I'll be single for the rest of my life, and you'll be responsible, Link!"
"Hey, I can't be in charge. So sometimes you don't have to worry about me, I can train myself."
"That's not good. If no one is urging you, who knows when your kid will go home from training. By the way, the fans are looking forward to playing the Clippers tomorrow. The team has lost four straight recently, and they all expect it. Hope you can win on the No. 1 pick. How do you feel, does the team have a chance to win?"
"What does it mean to have a chance to win? You have to win. They have lost four straight. If they lose like this, the Rockets should catch up no matter how weak they are."
"How do I feel like you're humiliating the Rockets..." Will narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not, I'm not. But to be honest, Blake Griffin's physical talent is really enviable. You say, doesn't it feel good to block others in the air?" Link said. , while holding up the basketball gesture.
"It's like you haven't detained anyone before. Kevin Martin will strangle you when he hears this. He also said that you didn't humiliate the Rockets."
"He's a guard, I've never dunked a big man."
"It doesn't matter, you have other specialties. You don't have to envy other people's talents. Every player has something they are good at." Will patted Link's shoulder in comfort.
Indeed, most of the technical things can be easily practiced. But things like physical fitness are especially talented. A floor player with average physical talent may practice for a lifetime, but it is almost impossible to become a beast player in the sky.
Will knows that Link has always had a flying heart, but his physical fitness is really not at the top level.
"It doesn't matter, I don't envy him. What he can have, I should be able to have it after I work hard." As everyone knows, Link laughed confidently.
Will is a little confused, and Link is too optimistic.
Of course he didn't know that the reason why Link had been training so crazy recently was because his white bars were almost full. Link estimated that by the end of this month, he will probably be able to level up again!
From the "Devil Mountain" at his peak, Link has to take another step. Indeed, it is difficult for ordinary people to break through the upper limit of their physical talent. However, Link is no ordinary person.
Milk and bread will have, superstar physical talent? There will be.
