One Hundred and Seventy: 5 Years of Waiting

George Karl sat on the bench, and this time he wasn't angry.

You've already lost, so what's the use of regenerating gas?

On the court, the Nuggets players are still running. But all of them knew that the situation was irreversible.

At this point, there are only 48 seconds left until the end of the game. 6 minutes ago, the Nuggets were only 5 points behind, and they had a great chance of winning.

And now, the Nuggets are 15 points behind, three times as much. It all started when Link stepped back into the arena.

Link had already scored 15 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds at this time. In the fourth quarter, he played only six minutes, and he efficiently blasted 10 points, which directly caused the Nuggets to misfire.

Of course, Kenyon Martin was also turned off.

Kenyon Martin was sitting on the bench at this time, he held a towel over his head, and no one knew what expression he had now.

The battle with the Grizzlies can be said to discredit Martin. His remarks before the game were already questioned, and during the game, Link was elbowed off for a malicious foul. Most importantly, even so, he still didn't stop Link.

Link's block dunk and dunk will become an indelible memory in Kenyon Martin's career.

"This game finally lost the suspense, and the Nuggets couldn't stick to the end. Link's firepower was too fierce for them. The worst thing Kenyon Martin did was to anger Link." Mike Brin looked at Link's data sheet, and it was incredible that he could play such efficient data with such limited playing time.

Of course, what surprised Mike Brin the most was the dunk. A floor player in everyone's impression, not only stopped the opponent's dunk today, but also dunked the opponent.

Seriously, Mike Brin doesn't know where Link's ceiling is. This guy has not only improved in technology, but also seems to have improved his physical fitness.

He's an irrational player, and that's the only explanation Mike Brin can give.

Finally, the 2010-2011 season, the most high-profile game on the last game day of the regular season, came to an end.

104 to 90, the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Nuggets by 14 points at home and successfully won their coveted fifth place in the Western Conference.

The Denver Nuggets dropped to sixth. According to the results of today's game, the Nuggets will face the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. Link looked at George Karl with an unhappy face, and could only wish the Nuggets and the Mavericks a good time.

At the end of the game, fans waved Grizzlies flags in the stands at FedEx Arena. The whole arena was shaken, and Link had never seen the fans so crazy.

"Great win for the Memphis Grizzlies! Because the next game, the Grizzlies will be fighting in the playoffs! And this is the first time in nearly five years that the Grizzlies have reached the Playoffs!" Mike Brin looked at the excited fans around him and recalled the experience of the Grizzlies in recent years, it is not difficult to understand their excitement.

In the 06-07 season, Pau Gasol fractured his fifth metatarsal at the World Championships, causing him to miss the first 22 games of that season. Before the calendar turned over to 2007, the Grizzlies had already missed the playoffs.

In the 07-08 season, the Grizzlies decided to push to rebuild, they traded away Paul Gasol, and single-handedly created the "Yellow-Green War" of the finals that year. But what about the Grizzlies? They still have a future ahead.

In the 08-09 season, the Grizzlies replaced three head coaches, and Lionel Hollins was finally determined to take over the coaching role. The Grizzlies were 24 wins and 58 losses that year and continued to play the role of the western belly.

In the 09-10 season, the Grizzlies ushered in Allen Iverson, the No. 1 pick in the 1996 golden generation, and traded from New York to get Zach Randolph, who averaged 20+10 per game. Everyone thought that the Grizzlies were going to fly. Soaring. As a result, AI only played three games with the Grizzlies and then left hastily. Although the Grizzlies won 16 more games than last season,

But still failed to make the playoffs.

Finally, in this fifth season, the Memphis Grizzlies succeeded. They defended their territory with meat grinder-like defenses and pounded the opposing defenses with solid offense. They went all the way, and finally swept away all the grievances of the past five years.

Gasol's injury and departure, and Iverson's struggles and disappointments were all covered by joy at this moment.

But people never imagined that it wasn't the highly anticipated Mayo who made the Grizzlies successful, nor the more mature Rudy Gay. It was the despised Randolph, the Mayo who was always regarded as a supporting role, and the little Gasol who was originally sent to Memphis as an add-on. And, the Rockets abandonment that the Grizzlies signed in the middle of the season, the undrafted pick that turned everyone's minds upside down.

The Grizzlies' experience this season, combined with their final record, has added a lot of legend to their path to the playoffs this year.

After holding on for so long, the fans here finally ushered in a new batch of heroes.

"We're going to the playoffs, guys!" Hollins looked at his players, and his eyes were red in addition to joy. Hollins, who has been on the Grizzlies' coaching staff since the days of Hubie Brown, has seen the Grizzlies go up and down over the years.

Now, he finally leads the Grizzlies to the playoffs again as head coach, which makes Hollins cry with joy.

The Grizzlies players hugged Hollins and then hugged each other. This group of people have been fighting together for a whole year, and now, they have finally achieved a result.

"You came back too soon, Link." Randolph whispered in Link's ear, and Link really rarely saw Randolph look so serious. Can lead the Grizzlies into the playoffs, Randolph also fulfilled his wish.

He proved to everyone that I'm not fucking done yet!

"Thank you for cleaning up Kenyon Martin for me, Zach. I'm very happy to play with you, we have to continue to kick the enemy's ass in the playoffs!" Link patted Randolph with a smile. From the development league to the NBA playoffs, Link doesn't want his dream journey to end here.

Fans, players and coaching staff were completely engrossed in the joy of their perfect season. But today, the Nuggets are not entirely forgotten as underdogs.

Especially Kenyon Martin. After the game, the reporters who interviewed Martin surrounded him. Even in his prime, Martin had never been this high profile.

"Kenyon, can you tell me how you feel?"

"What were you thinking when you were blocked by Link? Are you scared or angry?"

"Will you apologize to Link? You said you would show him the toughness of black players. Do you mean today's malicious elbow?"

Martin looked bewildered at the reporters around him. He had always longed to be a star. But when the day really came, Martin was extremely distressed.

Looking back on the whole incident, it is simply a history of humiliation that Martin brought to himself. He knew very well that if he didn't say something, this group of reporters wouldn't let it go.

In every game and interview in the future, they will humiliate themselves with what happened today!

So, Martin finally compromised, "I have to apologize to Link, he is a great player, better than I thought. I want to apologize for what I said and what I did, I set a wrong example. ."

Martin had to bow his head if he wanted to get out of Memphis today.

Afterwards, the reporters also interviewed Link about Kenyon Martin. What do you think about Martin's malicious foul, and how do you view Martin's final apology?

But after listening to the question, Link just smiled playfully, "Guys, don't mention the Denver Nuggets and Kenyon Martin. Our current opponent is the Oklahoma City Thunder!"

That's right, when the Grizzlies won their 50th win of the season and finished fifth in the Western Conference, the playoff pattern in the Western Conference was completely clear. The Oklahoma City Thunder, the fourth-ranked youth team in the Western Conference with 55 wins and 27 losses, will meet the Grizzlies.

Link and the Grizzlies fought desperately to finish fifth, but not to eliminate the Thunder.
