1062: Beat them and break their records
The big battle of live broadcasts across the United States was actually thrown into garbage time, which surprised countless people.
The arrogant Warriors fans were completely silent because they lost without any excuses in this game.
Their lineup is complete and they have just won a big victory, so there is no problem of injury or poor condition.
To be honest, the Warriors did hurt Pachuria. But if Warriors fans really use this as an excuse, it would be even more embarrassing.
To work with such a luxurious "Galaxy Battleship", do you have to rely on a player like Pachuria who has third-rate skills and character to control?
And here in Memphis, the fans are naturally very excited.
After defeating the Warriors, everyone is looking forward to Link being able to lead the team back to the throne.
Although it has only been one season since the Grizzlies established a three-game championship dynasty, Memphis fans are already a little impatient.
Who would think there were too many things like championships?
Overnight, the discussion about Link became popular again.
People only have one question - can Link really achieve four championships in five years?
Most so-called experts are not optimistic about Link.
"The Grizzlies' lineup is actually not perfect. The same thing is, the old one is too old, the young one is too young. Link may be able to start the regular season with his super personal ability, but the playoffs are not that simple."
"Link is a great player, but do you really know what the concept of a five-year four-time champion is? Don't use the Celtics and the Lakers of ancient times as examples, that doesn't make sense at all."
"I know that Link did win a beautiful victory. But it would be too early to say that the Grizzlies could win the championship based on their performance in this game. At present, the Grizzlies may not even be able to break the 24 consecutive wins created by the Warriors last season, let alone the championship."
Even after a big victory, some media still denied Link.
But now, the world is different. Link is no longer the villain in everyone's mind, so many people have come forward to speak for Link.
Among them, the most important one is still the former number one "Lin Hei" Bill Simmons.
"Some time ago, I ranked Link at the sixth place in the Hall of Fame pyramid, and many people were dissatisfied. What was the result? Link successfully made them all shut up. Actually, I have been thinking about a question. Why are great players like Link annoying? Now, I have the answer."
"The reason people don't like Link is because he is too strong, it's that simple! He always uses his strong strength to challenge people's common sense. For example, in the common sense of many people, it is impossible to win four championships in five years. And things that go against common sense usually make people feel uncomfortable. So, they pointed the finger at Link."
"I used to be the same, but in fact, only when you let go of your prejudice can you truly realize Link's greatness!"
Simmons blew Link up in his column again, and there were many supportive voices below.
Now compared to Link and the Grizzlies, Durant and the Warriors are more like villains.
However, whether people admit that the Grizzlies can win the championship or not, the big victory last night is a constant fact.
After yesterday's game, Durant and Green suddenly fell silent.
Link responded to Durant’s remarks on social media last night, “I’m waiting for your double return, kd. I’ll show you how to eat two cupcakes in one go!”
Such a response can be said to be very direct. Link used the word "cupcake" to secretly scold Durant's soft egg.
But in the face of Link's arrogant response, Durant has not responded until now.
There is no doubt that Durant knows one truth--loser should shut up.
At least in the past few days, he has no capital to talk back. He was slaughtered by Link for 32 points, and Link's personal score is twice his...
Not to mention Durant, anyone who is involved in this matter will be speechless.
Of course, the influence of that big victory last night was more than that. When I watched yesterday's Five Bests this morning, Link was surprised to find that there were actually four of the Five Bests in Five Bests!
Except for fifth place, the top four are all pictures of Link’s “military training” Thompson and Clark.
This is the first time that a player has taken four of the top five goals.
Link shook his head, he really couldn't help but keep a low profile.
I don’t know how the Warriors players will feel when they see this.
They thought they had become the protagonist, but in the end they realized that they were likely to be just the biggest background board of this era!
Link did not continue to immerse himself in yesterday's glory, although that was indeed very tempting.
However, there is something even more tempting in front of Link now.
Some people say that the Grizzlies cannot break the Warriors' 24-game winning streak set last season?
Well, let's take a look!
Breaking the Warriors' record is definitely more satisfying than defeating them...
※※※
On December 11, 2013, the Grizzlies beat the Magic at home, and Link scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in that game.
At that time, the big victory in this game allowed the Grizzlies to set the league's best record with a 20-game winning streak.
At that time, everyone thought that this record was almost impossible to break. However, after only two years, the Golden State Warriors turned this record into 24 consecutive victories!
However, something even more terrible happened.
Because people have discovered that the Grizzlies are likely to refresh the number of this record again just one year later!
After defeating the Warriors, the Grizzlies were very motivated. They did not lose their successors, but became more and more courageous after the big victory.
On December 7, he played against the 76ers at home, and the Grizzlies won 106-91. Today, Embiid did not play because of the rest of the game, so the 76ers became powerless to fight back.
With 22 consecutive victories, the Grizzlies still have no intention of stopping!
On December 8, they played back-to-back against the Trail Blazers away, and Lillard and McCollum once again became the most likely person to end the Grizzlies' winning streak.
After the last time the Trail Blazers forced the Grizzlies into a desperate situation, the Grizzlies finally survived the difficulties with Link's final victory.
So this back-to-back game is considered the most likely game for the Grizzlies to lose.
And this is also the source of confidence for most people who think that the Grizzlies cannot break the Warriors' winning streak record.
This time, Lillard and McCollum performed very well as always, and they still spent the last time with the Grizzlies.
But the fate of the Trail Blazers is surprisingly similar to before.
But this time it was no longer Link who killed the Trail Blazers, but the Trail Blazers themselves.
In the last two key rounds, Lillard and McCollum made a mistake each, completely ruining the victory.
Facing the Grizzlies' iron defense, Portland's double guns were somewhat uncomfortable.
Although they only lost 5 points in the end, there is no big difference between losing 5 points and losing 15 points in essence.
At this point, the Grizzlies achieved a terrible record of 23 wins and 0 losses! It was only one game away from the start of the 24 consecutive wins set by the Warriors last season!
In the next game, the Grizzlies' opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers with 10 wins and 11 losses.
Chapter completed!
