The scene of Green and Durant deliberately coughing before the game caused an uproar.

Link's simple and crude response as always undoubtedly pushed this matter to **.

Although it has only been more than half a month since the last fight between the two sides, it is obvious that Durant and Link can no longer help but want to start another round of competition.

This is the struggle between a mortal enemy and a mortal enemy. The battle between two mortal enemies is not only performed on the basketball court.

The Warriors and Magic match that night ended with a 20-point victory in the Warriors. Durant scored 27 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds in the game, performing quite comprehensively.

Durant also spoke bluntly at the post-match press conference: "I don't believe that any player can play like that when he has a high fever, and why did he suddenly appear in the second half? If Link really had a fever and didn't plan to play, why wasn't he put on the injury list? This is so weird, nothing can make sense."

With the support of the superstar Durant, those fans who questioned Link as a pretender were even more rampant on the Internet.

Then, another reporter asked Durant: "kd, how long do you think the Grizzlies' winning streak record can last? Since defeating you on January 7, the Grizzlies have won eight consecutive games! Do you think they can play all the games in January with a complete victory?"

"We are more likely to play all the remaining games in January with a complete victory. Let's see, we will sooner or later regain the No. 1 position in the West. But only 4 wins, anything may happen next."

"As for Link wishing me and Green to death...hahaha, sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it as you wish."

Durant's words at the press conference were full of news.

When the league hyped Durant vs. James, they didn't have such a strong sense of archenemy. Even though Durant met James again in the finals last season, the fans did not find it dramatic.

But since Durant defeated Link to the finals last season, the sense of old rival between them has become very strong.

Superstars in each era have their own nemesis, such as Bird and "magic" in the "Black and White Battle" period, such as Russell and Chamberlain in the ancient times.

If Link was to choose a lifelong enemy, then this person would undoubtedly be Durant.

If both of them eventually gain a brilliant career, no matter how much they hate each other, they must admit that they are part of their brilliant career.

After all, great victory is based on great opponents.

Durant is now really treating Link as his lifelong enemy, so he is rude to all topics about Link.

Where is Link? He is naturally very happy to accept the challenge.

However, before that, Link was treated with a disease and had another very important thing to arrange.

He promised his teammates that he would have fun for a day after returning from Toronto, but he didn't want to break his promise.

※※※

Although Link's small villa is not as grand and luxurious as Kobe and Jordan.

But this villa by the lake is a bit more warm and leisurely.

Randolph and Iguodala were fishing on a small boat in the lake, and Tony Allen dragged Dinwiddie, Wade, Carter and Harrell to play a game.

Jokic was wandering around, probably looking for Coke.

Gasol and Link were discussing their experience as dad, while others were enjoying the rare sunshine in January in the yard.

This is not the first time that the entire Grizzlies have come to visit Link's house. The people who have come here have changed batch after batch.

But no matter how people change, this warm atmosphere will never change.

"Speaking of this, time flies so fast. I will become a 32-year-old veteran in a few days. When you first came, I was still a potential stock in my twenties."

After chatting with Link about a lot of topics about being a father, Gasol couldn't help but shake his head.

When Link first came, Gasol was younger than Link now.

At that time, he had long hair, and people were not even sure whether he could be as successful as his brother in NBA.

Good times are always in the blink of an eye.

"Why did you suddenly feel that time is coming? 32 years old is the golden age of center, Mark." Link smiled, not wanting to make the atmosphere too serious.

"When you are over 30, you will feel emotional, Link. But to be honest, how long do you plan to play in this league? Look at Vince, he is already 40 years old, but he still has no intention of retiring."

"Me? I haven't thought about retirement yet." Link lied and didn't tell Gasol about his career plan. "But I shouldn't be 40 years old. I want to... spend more time with my family."

Family, I have to say that this is one of Link’s regrets in his previous life.

Although I have a pair of reliable parents in this life, I don’t have a strong relationship after all.

Now, finally building a family of his own, Link just wants to cherish it.

"Is that right? Well... Actually, I really want this, but my brother seems to have plans to be 40 years old. If I do, I would rather spend more time taking care of my vegetable garden, hahahaha!"

Gasol scratched his head and laughed.

Link still remembers that in the original history, Gasol Jr. was still playing basketball until he traveled through time.

However, Gasol is different now. He already has three championship rings in his hand, which is different from Gasol, who was chasing his first championship in order not to leave regrets in his career.

I don’t know what impact these things will have on history.

"Okay, it's too early to talk about retirement now. Our goal is still long-term, Mark." Link shook his head, and he still didn't get four championship rings, but his career cannot end there.

"That's right... Let's go, let's have a few games too." Gasol got up and walked to the gambling table.

Link looked at everything in front of him and smiled with relief.

Family...well, now this is a big family.

The warm day was spent like this, and the Grizzlies players all recovered from the tired long-distance back-to-back.

Of course, the atmosphere of the locker room of the entire team is also soaring at a rapid pace.

After playing against the Raptors on the 21st, the Grizzlies received a full three days of rest and did not have a game to play until the 25th.

Therefore, rest time is completely sufficient.

Link was already healed on the 23rd. At home on the 25th, the Grizzlies once again faced the challenge of the Houston Rockets.

The reason why Durant dared to provoke Link was because the Grizzlies' remaining games in January were also very difficult to play.

In short, the Grizzlies' January is simply hell difficulty. If any other team is replaced with the Grizzlies' January schedule, there is absolutely no possibility of winning eight consecutive games.

Not to mention winning streaks, don’t be thankful for being defeated by these Western powerhouses.

In the remaining four games in January, the Grizzlies will face the Rockets, the Trail Blazers, Jazz and Suns respectively.

Among the four opponents, except for the Sun, the other three are not easy to mess with.

It is really difficult to maintain a complete victory under such circumstances.

However, the morale of the Grizzlies has been very high recently. Not to mention eight consecutive victories, just the last game of Link's extremely long-distance winning streak made everyone excited.

So, in the game against the Rockets on the 25th, Marc Gasol took on the heavy responsibility and killed the game with two key three-pointers!

The Rockets played very well in this game. In addition to Harden's data of 29 points, 10 assists and 7 rebounds as always, No. 18 rookie Sam Decker also ushered in an explosion.

Decker only played three games with the Rockets during his rookie season due to a back injury. Most of the other times, he was hang out in the Development League.

Although it has been in rotation this season, its ordinary performance is not amazing.

But today, Decker felt hot outside the three-point line. He made 11 shots outside the three-point line and hit 6 of them! In the end, he scored the Rockets' highest 30 points!

The emergence of Decker's x-factor made the game extremely anxious.

The Grizzlies were 4 points behind in the last moment, and the Rockets are now trying their best to block Link, the cold-blooded killer.

But D'Antoni never expected that Link would dare to hand over the key ball to his teammates, and Marc Gasol was really ruthless at the critical moment!

Espanyol took Link's three-pointer after two consecutive passes, making Decker's magic meaningless.

In the end, the Rockets lost 119-121 away. Link scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in the whole game, but Gasol was the key to killing the game.

This team is not just one Link! When they recover, their dominance is not reduced at all.

At this point, the Grizzlies have won nine consecutive victories and have defeated the Rockets for the second time this month! They have maintained a complete victory against the Rockets three times this season!

Although the three games played against the Rockets were considered a narrow victory, the biggest difference was only 5 points.

Winning means winning, and narrow victory can better reflect a team's dominance at critical moments.

After the game, the reporters were still making trouble between Link and Durant, asking how Link viewed Durant's behavior and remarks a few days ago.

Link was not angry, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "KD doesn't understand, there are some people you can't catch up with in your life. I won't predict the results of the game, but I bet that the Warriors will lose the game before us this month."
