Two Hundred and Sixty-Six: The Curse of Unbeatable Streak

Link's scoring performance in the fourth quarter was great, he was unstoppable. To be honest, he's fully deserved to be selected into the All-Star starting lineup. "

At the press conference after the game, Ray Allen gave Link a very positive evaluation. Pierce, another player who participated in the press conference, chose to use compliments on Jimmy Butler.

"I didn't know who he was when he came on the court, I didn't know anything about him. But a few minutes of confrontation made me completely remember the guy's name. I must admit, Jimmy Butler caused me a lot of damage. Huge trouble. If Link was the one who killed the game, then Jimmy Butler was the accomplice."

The entire press conference seems to have turned into a praising conference for old players to young players. However, Link and Jimmy Butler performed well, and neither Ray Allen nor Pierce were embarrassed.

As for the Grizzlies, Hollins attended the press conference alone, answered a few questions hastily, and left in a hurry.

After all, the Grizzlies players have to fly more than three hours tonight from Boston on the east coast to San Antonio, and they don't have much time to delay.

After returning to the locker room, the players took a shower, changed their clothes, and headed for San Antonio with little rest.

In the evening, reporters found Jimmy Butler at the airport walking into the gate with three or four bags on him. There is no doubt that he is helping the team's veteran players carry bags. It is not uncommon for rookies to help seniors carry bags in the NBA, and it is almost the default rule of each team.

As for which boss Jimmy Butler helped carry the bag, the reporters don't know...

On the plane, most of the players fell asleep. Only Jimmy Butler opened his eyes, he was very excited!

In tonight's game, when he defended Pierce again and again, and Pierce showed a surprised expression, Jimmy Butler was full of a sense of accomplishment.

Even thinking about these images now, Butler feels very refreshed.

Thinking of this, Butler couldn't help turning his head to look at Link. Link, who was sitting diagonally behind Butler, had been asleep for a long time, almost as soon as he got on the plane.

After all, Link was the Grizzlies' most-timer today, playing a full 41 minutes. Moreover, on both ends of offense and defense, Link shoulders heavy responsibilities.

without his efforts,

There would be no Ray Allen shooting 28.6 percent. Without his efforts, there would not have been the final 10 points that sealed the victory.

Effort has become Link's most recognizable label in Butler's eyes.

Butler is a very old-school player who values ​​"status."

That's not to say he always wanted to be the boss, but the veteran players that Butler respects a lot.

Although Link came to the Grizzlies only a year earlier than him, he was technically his senior. What's more, whether Link is still pulling him to practice together makes Butler have great respect for Link.

Today, Link said that he asked Butler to help with the bag, which was originally just a joke. Unexpectedly, in the end, Butler hung up Link's bag all at once.

Butler cursed you so much to Link because of Link's hard-working qualities, which Butler admired very, very much.

Butler knew there was a tough fight ahead of them tomorrow night in San Antonio.

So, he gradually calmed down his emotions, and then closed his eyes.

If there is another chance to play with Link tomorrow, Butler doesn't want to be in poor form because of lack of sleep.

※※※

Link didn't wake up until 10 o'clock the next day. For Link, who was not always the first to go to the training ground and often started training in the early morning, it was already a very late sleep.

Although the Grizzlies only started training this afternoon, Link hurriedly got up to take a shower and didn't want to delay any further.

Link looked out the window and felt a little weird. Twelve hours ago, he was still fighting with the Celtics in the North Shore Gardens, and at this moment, he is in San Antonio.

After all, it is a perverted person who can arrange such a crazy schedule. Running such a long distance, even traveling would be tiring, let alone playing a game.

Link didn't complain anymore, but turned on his phone and swiped today's basketball news.

To Link's relief, Jimmy Butler is on the news with a high frequency today. It seems that in yesterday's game, Butler was indeed a little hot.

As for Link's own reports, of course, there are many, and most of them are positive. After all, even Ray Allen, who was facing Link yesterday, acknowledged his excellence.

But Link, as always, was not interested in these, whether it was slander or praise, it was temporary.

After swiping, Link turned to a few news related to today's game.

"Since the Grizzlies lost to the Blazers on the 24th last month, they have maintained a rhythm of winning one game and one win. In the past half month, without exception! The Grizzlies have not Losing streak, but not winning streak. It's not an accident. That's because the Grizzlies usually only have one hard fight. After one, they're going to get really bad. So I think, Tonight in San Antonio, the Grizzlies still can't win. They fought the Celtics to the end yesterday, haven't slept well after a night of running, and have to take on the nasty Spurs again. Seriously, Grizzlies The chances of the team winning are too small!"

The report was quickly spread, and was hyped by fans and the media into a "magic".

The Grizzlies can't win in a row, so they just won the Celtics, and they definitely can't beat the Spurs today. Plus, the Grizzlies have already lost to the Spurs twice. Therefore, many San Antonio fans even left a message online saying, "We are all starting to celebrate the victory in advance."

Looking at these nonsensical reports, Link shook his head. He finally understands now why Durant will open a trumpet to attack people online. Sometimes the remarks of the online media and fans are really very irritating.

But if you open a trumpet, just open a trumpet, but if you forget to switch accounts, it will be embarrassing...

But one thing to say, tonight's game is really bad. Link has already experienced how strong the Spurs are this season.

Parker and Manu Ginobili remained in shape, and the old monster Duncan even recovered! A player who is almost 40 years old can still recover. Link has never seen such a perverted person.

On the basis that the GDP has not collapsed, the Spurs also ushered in the rise of players such as Leonard, Danny Green, and Split this season.

No exorbitant draft picks, no big trades, but the Spurs just make the team better, and that's where they shine.

Thinking of all the tragic situations that might occur tonight, Link wanted to cry without tears. He walked out of the room silently, ready to go to a masseuse to help him maintain his health.

This massage therapist is not that massage therapist, and this health care is not that health care.

But as soon as Link went out, he found that Jimmy Butler happened to be walking out of the room. The two were stunned for a few seconds, and finally Butler greeted first, "Hello, Lin, how are you resting?"

"Not bad, where are you going?"

"Go to the supermarket to buy something, together?"

Link nodded and followed. I always think about the game all day, but I will get sick. If you can't go to a nightclub, go to the supermarket to squeeze a few packs of instant noodles, which is also excellent...
