1285: This Year's Christmas Battle Rivals

At the post-match press conference, Nunn lets the reporters see what it means to be truly convinced.

When the undraft was asked about the question of "What does it feel to play with Link again?", Nunn remained silent for a long time and then sighed

"It feels like, thankful that I'm still alive. For a while, I even thought I couldn't walk out of the FedEx Arena alive."

When Nunn answered this, even Jimmy Butler, who was sitting next to him, was a little surprised.

Who is Nunn? This is a guy who once said, "I am more qualified to win the best rookie than Zion Williamson" and shamelessly said yesterday that "I have all the qualities in Link."

In Butler's heart, Nunn has always been a desperate person who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

But now, he said this?

"So, how do you evaluate Link's performance today?" the reporter asked again.

Nun spread his arms and said, "I can't comment, I only have questions. How could anyone in this world be like this?"

After hearing Nunn's answer, Butler shook his head. That guy Link is really not serious.

The last game just lost Hachimura Shizuki, and today Nun completely made him autistic.

He is worthy of being the most ruthless person in the league, and he abuses vegetables so thoroughly.

Looking at Nunn in a daze, Butler shook his head.

This guy may have to spend more time to cheer up.

After this game with the Heat, Link once again flooded the news in the entire sports circle.

Grizzlies have 19 points to storm the Heat, who is in the first tier of the Eastern Conference this season, Link has been playing against the Bucks as a strong opponent, and averaged 39.3 points per game in three games, leading the team through the difficulties and completing his promise to win ten consecutive victories.

Such achievements naturally made Link blew up to the sky by the media again.

"The Grizzlies' first ten-game winning streak may have come a little later than before, but they will never be absent!"

"Link should return to the top of the MVP rankings. He is still the strongest player in the league, no doubt about it."

"It's hard to imagine that this is a state where a player about to retire, and only Link's domination can end."

After only one and a half months of the season, Link regained his dominance over the league.

Although there are indeed many strong teams this season and the competition is fierce, the Grizzlies have proved that even under such extreme conditions, they can still be the best among them.

Nunn's series of answers at the press conference became a classic.

It seems that Link will not let it go, whether it is a super genius like Doncic, a lotto rookie like Hachimura or a undraft like Nunn, and will take it all!

Of course, this also makes fans look forward to the meeting between Link and this year's No. 1 pick Zion Williamson.

The performance of "Fat Tiger" this season is obvious to all, and he is indeed worthy of his identity as the No. 1 pick.

With Ingram and Holiday around, Williamson is still able to average 23 points per game this season.

It's very powerful for a first-year rookie.

I wonder if Link would even win Williamson with great strength?

Link vs. the new No. 1 pick, this is the highlight of almost every season.

But unfortunately, the Grizzlies and the Pelicans met for the first time this season and have to wait until the end of next month.

The showdown that fans are looking forward to cannot be staged in time. Therefore, the media must also find a new stimulus and continue to play the Grizzlies' warm-up.

The day after the game with the Heat, in a basketball program at t.n.t, O'Neal and Barkley predicted how long the Grizzlies' winning streak will last, and made a big fuss about the Grizzlies' winning streak.

Barkley believes that this is completely impossible to predict. Because the next few Grizzlies' opponents, the Thunder, the Cavaliers, the Kings and the Spurs, seem to be unable to cause substantial trouble to the Grizzlies.

"The Oklahoma City Thunder is one of the most surprising teams this season. Chris Paul and the young people of the Thunder played an incredible chemistry. But no matter how unexpected it is, the Thunder is not a strong team in the first tier of the West. There is still a gap between them and the Grizzlies."

"The Cavaliers and Kings are both lottery teams, so I won't explain it much. As for the Spurs, their condition this season is also very bad, and this is the year when the Spurs are most likely to not enter the playoffs. The last time the Grizzlies competed against the Spurs, they beat the Spurs by 14 points. Now, the Grizzlies in better shape are fully capable of pulling the gap even wider."

Barkley briefly analyzed the strength of these teams, and he believed that no team could stop the Grizzlies.

Finally, Barkley concluded: "So, when the Grizzlies' winning streak will last, it depends entirely on Link's mood."

But as Barkley's old rival, O'Neal will naturally sing the opposite tune.

"That's right, Charles, the Thunder, the Cavaliers, Kings and the Spurs, these four teams may not be able to stop the Grizzlies from raging footsteps. But don't forget that the Grizzlies will continue to play the Christmas battle this year. I think the Philadelphia 76ers, the opponent of the Grizzlies this year's Christmas battle, have the ability to stop the Grizzlies."

O'Neal said this and introduced the topic of Christmas war.

I have to say that O'Neal and Barkley are really old. Before they know it, they can bring out hot topics.

This summer, the 76ers in Philadelphia who "believe in the process" have completed their process and are about to bear fruit.

So, they became one of the busiest teams this summer.

With Embiid and Simmons as the core, the 76ers introduced three heavyweight players, Richardson, Tobias Harris, and Al Horford, respectively this summer, forming a very luxurious starting lineup.

Among them, Richardson and Harris are also members of the Grizzlies' three consecutive championship dynasty, and they have their own championship genes.

Under the premise of Leonard's trip to Los Angeles, it is generally believed that the 76ers who have reached the division semi-finals for two consecutive years can become the new Eastern Conference overlord.

So, the league put this game, which was considered a "finals preview" in the Christmas game.

The 76ers have lived up to expectations. Although the team has exposed various problems, their current results of 20 wins and 8 losses are indeed quite outstanding.

Therefore, O'Neal believes that this season's 76ers can wrestle the Grizzlies, which is understandable.

"So, the Grizzlies' winning streak lasts at most until 14 consecutive wins. In Game 15, they will lose to Philadelphia on Christmas, and that's my prediction."

As soon as O'Neal finished speaking, Barkley laughed: "You are really good at joking, Shaq Philadelphia 76ers beat the Grizzlies? Hahahaha, what's the point? Is Ben Simmons' three-pointer?"

If Simmons was watching TV now, he would definitely draw circles to curse the bald fat man.

It’s a pity that Simmons is now having a nightclub party.

"Of course not, but Philadelphia has an inside advantage. Joel Embiid is against Jokic, and I don't think he will lose. And Link, who is about to encounter the wing defense of Simmons and Harris, will play very hard."

"So, do you think the key to winning the 76ers is Embiid? Indeed, Embiid is the player with the highest average score in the 76ers this season. He was also selected for the double second team last season, proving that he is a top star in the league. But... please, the opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies."

In the subsequent show, O'Neal and Barkley began to fight each other every day on the topic of "Can the 76ers end the Grizzlies' winning streak."

Everyone knows that Barkley and O'Neal have a good private relationship. They argue with each other on the show, which is entirely the effect of the show.

But there are really people in this world who take TV shows seriously.

For example, Joel Embiid himself.

After O'Neal and Barkley's show ended, Embiid quickly posted a social media update.

Then, all the fans' eyes moved from Link vs Williamson to the Christmas battle between the Grizzlies vs 76ers.

Embiid said on social media: "Don't involve me! Don't compare me with Jokic, I can defend. Also, I'm not fat either."
