Seven Hundreds: Another Guard Who Is Eyeing

Link was elected as the All-Star vote, which was expected, but it was something shocking when it was actually achieved.

Previously, only Yao Ming, a Chinese player in NBA history, could beat James, Kobe and other superstars to become the All-Star vote king. Of course, Yao Ming is also the first Chinese All-Star vote king.

But to be honest, Yao Ming was able to win the All-Star vote in 2005 and 2006, and the factors of the Chinese market accounted for part of the reason.

Yao Ming beat Shaquille O'Neal in his rookie season and was voted into the All-Star starter, which has given the NBA a glimpse of the mysterious Eastern power. In 2005 and 2006, when the Internet gradually became popular in China, it is not surprising that Yao Ming, who has a huge fan base, can become the ticket king.

Of course, Yao Ming's own strength is not bad, he is indeed one of the best centers in the NBA. In all fairness, aside from the factors of the Chinese market, Yao Ming has little chance of becoming the vote king.

However, as a Chinese, Link also has the dividends of the Chinese market, but definitely not as much as Yao Ming. In other words, Link's ability to become the All-Star vote king, in addition to the blessing of the Chinese market, is also recognized by everyone, including American fans, because of his strength. It is more difficult for him to become the vote king than Yao Ming.

Therefore, Link's ability to become the vote king still caused heated discussions.

However, on the second day of becoming the queen of votes, Link still placed Yao Ming in a very high position, "Yao created an era, he proved to the world that Asians can also have a foothold on the basketball court. I am very happy that I To carry on the honor he left behind, I will do my best to give everyone a great game in the All-Star Game."

Link is not particularly excited about becoming the All-Star vote king. His mind is now all on the 10-game winning streak. After all, becoming the vote king was something Link had already prepared for.

From the first round of voting to now, Link's ranking has not dropped from the first.

After becoming the queen of votes, Link also said something to Conley, "It's waiting for you now."

Conley was inspired to play with Link in the All-Star Game.

For the second year in a row, the Grizzlies have two All-Stars. The first was Gasol and Link, the second was Randolph and Link.

But this year, the big picture has been abysmal. Of the five Western Conference All-Star starters, only Griffin is an inside player. On the east side, there is not even a single inside player. The inside players are ushering in their winter.

then,

Going with Link to participate in the All-Star "spot" naturally fell to Conley. Conley doesn't want to let the record of "two All-Stars every year" be broken by himself.

So, after the league announced the final results of the All-Star ballot on Jan. 21, the Grizzlies got even more brutal.

On January 24 and 25, the Grizzlies will play back-to-back games at home and away with the Rockets, respectively.

These two games are considered to be the focus of the battle, and it is also considered a turning point in whether the Grizzlies can reach their ten-game winning streak.

The Rockets with an All-Star starting shooting guard are naturally not weak teams. Although their record this season has not met expectations, they still have hard power.

It's not easy for the Grizzlies to beat the Rockets in two straight games. Bad luck, the Grizzlies may even eat the next two-game losing streak.

However, these two games became the key battle for Mike Conley to accumulate popularity for himself.

The first game at the Grizzlies home, Chandler. Parsons broke out again. He scored 34 points and shot 64.7 percent from the field.

People have said that this is Parsons to the All-Star vote king a slap in the face. Link was also very angry, and Parsons has already gone berserk on his head in two consecutive games.

It's not that Link's defense is not serious, it's that that guy can make random shots!

Link now knows why so many teams are vying to give him a big contract in the future.

However, Harden's performance today was a bit sorry for his status as the starting point guard of the All-Star, and the bearded audience made only 2 of 11 shots. For an All-Star starting-level athlete, there are only 2 sports goals in the whole game, which is very unimaginable.

It seems that Harden's touch has all been absorbed by Parsons.

Under such circumstances, Conley's performance of 18 points, 9 assists and 3 steals was regarded as the icing on the cake for Link.

Parsons was invincible with one punch. Although he scored 34 points, with the cooperation of Conley and Link, the Rockets still lost 98 to 91, and the Grizzlies won four straight!

After 24 hours, the two sides continued to fight. Only this time, the battlefield moved from Memphis to Space City.

Parsons blasted 37 points yesterday and seemed to have used up all his luck. In front of the home fans today, he was almost autistic by being guarded by Link.

"Gao Fushuai" made 5 of 16 shots and only scored 11 points with a 31.3% shooting rate. The magic goals that were made yesterday, all failed today.

Link had a game-high 37 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, scoring his fifth triple-double this season!

With five triple-doubles in a single season, Link is currently the player with the most triple-doubles in the league this season.

Under Link's violent vengeance, Parsons was completely destroyed along with the rocket. 99 to 81, the Grizzlies wash the Toyota Center!

People thought that the Rockets could stop the Grizzlies, not to mention let the Grizzlies lose two straight, at least let the Grizzlies lose a game, let's take a layer of skin.

However, the results were so disappointing.

The Rockets seemed powerless to fight back against the Grizzlies.

Under Link's aura, Conley's 17 points and 8 assists were not so dazzling. But even so, there was an ESPN article after the game claiming, "This year, Mike deserves an All-Star berth. There is no doubt that he is the Grizzlies' best player other than Link."

It is a good thing that the media can speak for Conley. Although Link's aura is dazzling, it also illuminates the people around him.

So far, the Grizzlies have won 5 straight games! The goal of a 10-game winning streak is already firmly halfway there.

Next, the Grizzlies' five opponents are the Blazers, Kings, Timberwolves, Bucks and the most critical Thunder.

Before meeting the Thunder, among the Grizzlies' opponents, the Kings had just lost to the Grizzlies, and they have been proven not to have the strength to overthrow the Grizzlies.

Although the Timberwolves have Love, the team's record of 21 wins and 21 losses is the best record in the past nine years, and they still have the possibility of entering the playoffs. But expecting the Timberwolves to stop the Grizzlies is still unrealistic.

As for the Milwaukee Bucks...if anyone still has hope for the league's bottom-most team, it's a problem in their heads. The last time the bloody grizzly could beat the bucks, it was enough to show the strength gap between the two sides.

It seems that the only team that has any hope of stopping the Grizzlies from winning their 9-game winning streak now is the Portland Trail Blazers.

As a result, the Grizzlies' game against the Blazers on January 28 was regarded as the last heavyweight battle in addition to the Thunder VS Heat in January!

If the Grizzlies win, then they will likely take the next three opponents to get a 9-game winning streak, close to the Thunder, and get back the 10-game winning streak they lost.

If the Grizzlies fail, everything they've done will be in vain, and Link's 10-game winning streak will become a joke.

The Blazers had high hopes, and they were just one step away from the playoffs last season. And this season, the Blazers have been solid between fourth and sixth in the Western Conference. Although it is difficult for them to go further, they are by no means easy opponents.

Aldridge, Lillard, Matthews, Batum and Lopez, none of the Blazers' starting five are holding back.

Even the omnipotent Grizzlies are destined to be unable to easily win over the Blazers.

What's more, the Blazers also have Damien Lillard, who is also eyeing the All-Star position...

※※※

At the end of the Grizzlies and Rockets' consecutive games, the Portland Trail Blazers also ended their shopping match with the Warriors at Oracle Arena.

Stephen Curry kept shaking his head after the game. As a team with a similar record to the Blazers, he didn't expect that he would lose so badly today.

103 to 88, 15 points difference, the Warriors suffered a fiasco at home!

Sure enough, any team encounters the Blazers, it is destined to have no good fruit to eat.

But what annoyed Curry the most was not just the loss, but his performance today.

23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, shooting 47.5%. At first glance, Curry didn't have anything wrong with his performance today, playing very well.

But that's not the case with Billillard.

Lillard faced Curry, the starting point guard of the Western All-Star team today, and scored 38 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. In the case of 23 crazy shots, he also shot 56.5%, and the three-pointer is even more. 5 for 8.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lillard completely blew Curry today.

"Damion Lillard should be selected for the All-Star team. If the head coaches of those 30 teams are not blind, they should vote for Lillard!" At the Warriors scene, Steve, who explained the game Cole couldn't help but applaud Lillard.

Kerr has to admit, he's a Curry fan. Kerr even fantasized about how to maximize Curry's role when it wasn't.

But today, he is still impressed by Lillard.

After the game, Lillard became the most watched boy in the game.

An ESPN reporter naturally knew two days later, the focus of the battle between the Blazers and the Grizzlies will start. So he deliberately asked a question about the Grizzlies.

"Mike and you, if you have to choose one, who do you think is more qualified for the All-Star team?"

The reporter is obviously digging a hole for Lillard to dance, but Lillard is not stupid. Although he is only in the second year, because he is an older rookie, he is more mature than ordinary second-year players. His speeches are generally not faulty.

"I don't know, I can't pick. All I know is, I have to give my best against the Grizzlies! There's no question that we want to win. This has nothing to do with the Grizzlies' winning streak, because if we don't want to win, we Why fight?"

Lillard is very clear that today can only be regarded as a warm-up at most, and the bigger challenge has not yet begun!

Last summer, Lillard and Aldridge had a lot of fun at Link's training camp. At the same time, he also clearly saw Link's terrifying strength. Lillard has made it his goal to beat Link and the Grizzlies ever since.

He aspires to beat the best.

And now, he added another one to this goal - to defeat Mike Conley.

The runaway Lillard showed great interest in preventing the Grizzlies from winning 10 straight games.
