Six Hundred and Fifty-Nine: I Didn't Retire (Four/Five)

When Link put on a mask and prepared to warm up, everyone in the locker room was dumbfounded.

Zach Randolph's eyes widened, he walked to Link's side, stared at his mask, and said slowly, "You are such a goddamn talent!"

Link smiled smugly. He was also a little surprised when he just took back the mask from Rachel at noon today. Sure enough, having a girl beside her is different. A woman's delicate mind can always solve some things that men can't solve.

These big men only wanted to prepare a custom mask for Link, but they didn't think about how to cover Link's wound with the transparent mask.

And Rachel found a perfect way.

At this time, on Link's mask, the location of Link's wound was affixed with a sticker of the Grizzlies team logo.

The sticker was just the right size to cover Link's wound without blocking Link's sight.

Aesthetically pleasing without breaking league rules. After all, the alliance only stipulates that masks of other colors are not allowed, and there is no regulation that stickers cannot be pasted on transparent masks.

"Huh? Why is there a small letter R next to the team logo?" Randolph looked at it and saw something tricky.

Below the Grizzlies sticker is a very small pink "R".

Without a doubt, this is perhaps the most satisfying part of Rachel. However, because the letter is very small, it is impossible to read it if you don't pay attention.

"Okay, okay, it's up to you! If you want to wear a mask, let the team do it for you! Don't keep hitting me with the idea of ​​a mask." Link waved and dispersed Randolph.

Randolph patted his head and touched his chin, no!

Then, suddenly a name appeared in Randolph's mind.

"Pink R...Is it possible to represent Rachel Demita?" As soon as Randolph said this, the entire locker room immediately began to boo.

Although everyone is an adult, sometimes the Grizzlies locker room is as childish as a high school classroom.

When he won the championship last season, Rachel and Link participated in the players' nightclub carnival together. At that time, everyone knew that Link and Rachel had an unusual relationship. After all, where would players usually invite reporters to participate in such events?

It's just that Randolph didn't expect that these two bastards would show their affection on the basketball court.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Link, you have to think about the single colleagues on the team. Right? Harris."

Tobias Harris gave Randolph a blank look. What happened to being single? At least the dog food is full!

"Okay, okay, I'm wearing a fucking mask and you're talking so much. Prepare for the game, Zach. If we can't win the 12-game winning streak, it's useless for us to wear a helmet." Link stood up and jumped twice. Down.

Then he led the Grizzlies players on the court wearing a mask that was custom-made from structure to shape.

Golden State Warriors, today will definitely be very depressed.

※※※

The Grizzlies-Warriors game was nothing to talk about, and it was exactly the same as the first meeting between the two sides.

Instead, Link's handsome transparent mask became the focus of attention.

"I don't know how Link came up with this idea, but I believe that after this game, fans will set off another frenzy of stickers on transparent masks."

On the commentary stage, even the commentator was talking about Link's mask.

Although it's just two small stickers attached, it's not difficult. But sometimes, simple actions often lead to unexpected results.

The on-site photographer gave Link's face close-up again and again, and the operation of mask + team stickers will definitely become popular in the league in the future.

And the game itself, compared to Link's mask, was much more boring. Today Curry is out due to injury, and the Warriors can't even come up with a pure point guard. Harris. Barnes and Klay. Thompson formed the back line, obviously do not have organizational skills.

So today, the Warriors' offense was a mess. A lot of times, it's going it alone after falling into singles.

The game lost its suspense at the beginning of the fourth quarter. After wearing a special mask, Link scored a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds.

In the end, the Warriors with an incomplete lineup were guarded and only scored 81 points. It's almost 2014, and he only scored 81 points in a single game, which is really too low.

Thompson was the Warriors' best performer, scoring 21 points, but only 2-of-7 from 3-point range.

Australia's No. 1 pick Bogut scored a double-double with 12 points and 14 rebounds, but he was ferocious and failed to help the team win the game.

Of course, Bogut is not reconciled. He has never liked Link's publicity style, so even if he loses, he still does not forget to spray his opponent.

After the game, Bogut mocked that Link's fancy mask looked like a little girl's decoration, and serious men wouldn't use that kind of ridiculous thing.

And Link responded, "Losers always like to shift targets to cover up the fact that they lost. What kind of behavior is this? The behavior of girls!"

Link's response was not soft-mouthed, and there was no need to show mercy to a rotten guy like Bogut.

Facing Link's response, Bogut was speechless. What can he say? If the Warriors win the game, that's fine.

But the key is that the score of this game is 102 to 81, and the visiting team is behind the former home team.

When you're faced with a loss by more than 20 points, nothing you say will look weak.

So, even though Bogut wanted to appear very tough, he was completely ignored.

A cruel fact is that Bogut's coffee position and Link's are not at the same level.

Link would rather continue fighting with Bill Simmons, not wanting to waste saliva on Bogut.

People are now more concerned about the Grizzlies' opening streak than Bogut.

After the game with the Warriors, the Grizzlies have started the new season with 12 consecutive victories. The longest winning streak in NBA history is the 15-game winning streak created by the Washington Congress and the Houston Rockets!

The Washington Congress team may be unfamiliar to many people. It was one of 11 teams in the NBA at its inception, only to disband after just five years. Moreover, the record of the Congress team occurred in the 48-49 season, which is too ancient to have any reference value.

Therefore, the recognized record for the longest winning streak in the NBA belongs to the Houston Rockets.

In the 1993-94 season, because of Jordan's retirement, the league immediately entered an era of division. And the biggest winners of this short era are undoubtedly Olajuwon and the Rockets.

In the 93-94 season, under the leadership of the legendary center Olajuwon, the Rockets started the season with a record of 15 consecutive victories. In the end, everyone knew that the Rockets won the championship.

The 15-game winning streak at the start has been maintained by the Houston Rockets to this day.

Now, the Grizzlies are on a 12-game winning streak. They are three games away from tying that great streak.

In three games, the Grizzlies' opponents were the Suns, the Celtics, and the Houston Rockets, the record holder!

If the Grizzlies can successfully kill the Suns and Celtics, then the Rockets will personally guard this great record!

I don't know if the league had expected this when the schedule was arranged. Otherwise, the game in which the Grizzlies might have won 15 consecutive victories happened to meet the Rockets, the creator of the 15 consecutive victories at the beginning.

Rockets and Link, this is a timeless topic. Now, there is undoubtedly a new topic between the two sides.

Let's not mention the old thing about Link's abandonment, just say that last season, the Rockets also had bad luck on the Grizzlies. Not only were they tortured to death by the Grizzlies in the regular season, but General Manager Morey also resigned because of the conflict with Link, which caused too much pressure from public opinion and was overwhelmed.

This season, we meet again at the juncture of the 15-game winning streak, which is really a narrow road for the enemy.

Even putting aside these secondary factors, the Rockets have formed the "Modden combination" of Harden and Howard this season, making the Rockets the most high-profile team in the West. Their game with the Grizzlies is naturally very exciting.

Link's side has not expressed any outlook on the 15-game winning streak, but Howard on the side of Aerospace City can't hold it anymore.

"In the past, the Rockets may have often suffered losses on the Grizzlies. But now, we have become different. Let them try, and I will try my best to protect the honor that Dameng led the team to win! Of course, the Grizzlies had better not advance Lost the game, hahahaha."

Howard, who has become extremely arrogant and arrogant since he left Magic, took the lead in provoking Link.

He seems to really think that after joining the Rockets with a traditional center, he will inherit the mantle of Olajuwon and can compete for the championship.

The fact is that Olajuwon finally reached the top two years when Jordan was away. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether Olajuwon has a chance to win a championship under Jordan.

But now, Link has not retired. His rule over the Alliance is not over.

Sit down, it's not your turn to make trouble.
