Seven Hundred and Five: I Don't Want to Paddle Anymore
Terry Stotts and his players were saved by a screeching electronic beep, as if seeing a light in the endless darkness.
The disaster is finally over!
102 to 81, the fourth-ranked Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference not only failed to defeat the Grizzlies, but also set the lowest scoring record in a single game this season at the Grizzlies' home court.
At the end of the game, Lillard was a little embarrassed to say hello to Link. Before the game, he even dunked to challenge Link, but the game ended up like this, can you be embarrassed?
Lillard's performance today is indeed not very good, playing 37 minutes, only 14 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound are recorded.
Looking at this data alone, it's not really bad, but compared to his 38 points in the last game and Conley's 26 points and 8 assists today, it's really inferior.
This is because Conley didn't play much in the second half. Otherwise, Conley's score of 30 must have been easy.
Lillard finally stood up reluctantly and walked towards Link.
Link stood there, smiling and waiting for Lillard. Lillard lowered his head all the way, less than fifty meters away, but he felt like he had walked for several minutes.
"Damien, I'm sorry for today." Link patted Lillard on the shoulder and accidentally abused him for 20 points. It was really embarrassing.
"It's terrifying, you can actually grab that ball, and you can actually complete a 360-degree turn in the air for a layup in such a small space... Come on, what perverted moves did you prepare for the slam dunk contest? If I had known earlier, I would not have participated."
Lillard still gets goosebumps when he thinks of the few highlights Link created during the game. Now Lillard can't imagine what kind of performance Link will perform in an undefended dunk contest.
"What are you talking about? I'm afraid before the slam dunk contest starts? I haven't prepared the action yet. I can't tell who will win and who will win." Lillard, who killed the Warriors in rounds, actually has a side of admitting counsel.
Lillard has always been a fighter who is not afraid of power, well... maybe Link and the Grizzlies are more powerful than Lillard can accept.
"Then, I have to hurry up and prepare. I don't want to be abused so badly by you in the All-Star Game. Congratulations, Link, now, you can start towards the goal of 10 consecutive victories."
After that, after the two hugged, Lillard walked into the player tunnel with his head down.
With 81 points, the Trail Blazers scored a new low in a single game this season. That said, it was pretty much the worst loss the Blazers have experienced this season.
It makes sense that Lillard would be so sad.
After Link watched Lillard leave, he turned his head and found that Conley was being interviewed by Stephen A. Smith.
Judging from Conley's smile, the two should be talking very speculatively.
Link laughed with relief. After today's game, it is estimated that no one will ignore Conley anymore.
Of course, what's even happier is that Link can throw all the baggage of the interview on Conley today.
After walking into the player tunnel, Link opened his fingers and counted. Since losing to the Thunder on January 14th, the Grizzlies have defeated the Bucks, Kings, Pelicans, Rockets twice and today's Blazers.
The winning streak has accumulated to 6 consecutive victories!
Next, you only need to continue to get the King, Timberwolves and Bucks, and you can face Durant on the occasion of 9 consecutive victories!
Link was excited. He had already said that three 10-game winning streaks in a single season. Since 4 teams have done it before, why can't the Grizzlies! ?
Durant interrupted the Grizzlies' last 10-game winning streak, and this time he just got it back from the Thunder! In any case, Link would not allow himself to lose to the Thunder for the third time!
Link had to admit that he was really stingy.
※※※
Reporters in Oklahoma City panicked after the Grizzlies abused the Blazers.
Especially those reporters who ridiculed Link's ignorance back then,
They had already seen Link slap them in the face, but they couldn't avoid it and couldn't make Link stop.
The 10-game winning streak seems to be really easy for the Grizzlies.
With each passing day, the Oklahoma City reporters felt a step closer to disaster.
Arco Arena, Jan. 30, after the Grizzlies beat the Blazers. In the face of the Kings who were suspended for Cousins for accumulating too many technical fouls, Kang used the 27+10 data to lead the Grizzlies to a clean victory again.
Today, the matchup between Conley and Thomas became the main point of the game. Thomas did not perform badly today, with 24 points and 5 assists. As a player who is less than 1.8 meters tall, it is incredible to be able to show such a performance in the NBA.
But Conley is not soft-hearted. He not only has better data, but also is more efficient. The three-pointer at the critical moment in the fourth quarter made the King completely lose the idea of chasing points.
Link was still paddling today, scoring 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, obviously not doing much.
People thought Link was doing Conley on purpose, but that wasn't the case.
It is absolutely impossible for Link to do something like deliberately make Conley behave, even if he wanted to make Conley an All-Star, he would not do that.
Because Conley's All-Star seat must be won by himself to make sense, not Link's "handout". In doing that, Link respects neither the game nor Conley.
The reason why Link was paddling was because he really didn't need to shoot himself, and Conley took the initiative to take over the game. Second...because Link now wants to keep his strength where he should vent.
The next day, on January 31, the league officials finally announced the All-Star team's bench list.
On the east side, Hibbert, Noah, DeRozan, Millsap, Joe Johnson and John Wall were successfully selected. This also means that in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, in addition to George and Link, there is another All-Star player named Wall.
And on the west side, Lillard's name is on the list! This year's slam dunk contest will be attended by all-star players!
In addition, Lillard's teammate LaMarcus Aldridge, Mavericks soul Dirk Nowitzki, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, who regretted not being in the All-Star starting lineup, also have been selected.
Then, excitingly, behind Paul, Link also saw Mike Conley's name!
Finally, Mike Conley is no longer remembered after the All-Star Game, and is called "the most regrettable player". As if such a title could give Conley some comfort.
This time, Kang Yu has no comfort and no regrets!
With his outstanding performance during this period, Conley pulled his averages to 17.2 points, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. All-star selection, he deserves it.
Lillard and Conley fought for so long, but they were both selected in the end. The Frenchman Parker regretted lying down and was eliminated by the strong Lillard and Conley.
In this history, Conley will no longer have to regret that he never made an All-Star team. Link is happy that his All-Star journey is no longer alone.
Excited to learn that he was an All-Star, Conley invited the Grizzlies to his house for dinner that night.
The Memphis Grizzlies, which has never had a star player, have two players selected for the All-Star team for the third consecutive year. Link's arrival has brought tremendous changes to the team.
Conley did not relax because of reaching the goal. After the time entered February, the Grizzlies unsurprisingly fell on the Timberwolves and the Bucks, two teams that are both animals. In the two games, Conley still played well.
In the game against the Timberwolves, Conley scored 26 points and 12 assists, making the "Spanish Golden Boy" Rubio bleak at home.
Against the Bucks, Conley made 4 of 5 three-pointers. Although he sprained his ankle in the second quarter, fortunately, the injury was not serious, and he returned to the battlefield after a seven-minute rest.
In the end, Conley's 22 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds still did not disappoint the fans.
After the game, the entire FedEx fans were boiling. On the big screen of the arena, there were even a few large characters - are you ready for revenge? Oklahoma City Thunder!
That's right, the victory in this game allowed the Grizzlies to re-accumulate a 9-game winning streak! In the next game, the Grizzlies finally got their coveted Thunder team!
Taking back 10 straight victories, revenge, the feud between Link and Durant...all of which will end in the next game.
During an interview on the sidelines today, he had already paddled several times in a row. Today, Link, who only played 25 minutes, grinned at the camera and stretched his waist.
"Don't worry, next game, you won't be complaining that I rested too long on the bench. Everything has to come to an end, and the same goes for me and Durant!"
Link smiled, and after accumulating the strength for so long, it was finally time to burst out.
