On December 23, the day before Christmas Eve, the Grizzlies welcomed their last opponent before the Christmas game at the Federal Express Arena, the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs currently have only 11 wins and 17 losses, ranking tenth in the Western Conference. The post-GDP era and Leonard's departure have greatly damaged the Spurs' vitality.

The Spurs are no longer one of the strong teams in the Western Conference. Although they have two major stars, DeRozan and Aldridge, they still cannot stop the Spurs' decline.

Although the Spurs have not fallen to the bottom of the league, judging from the current situation, it is indeed difficult for the Spurs to enter the top eight in the Western Conference with their strength.

The last time the Grizzlies met with the Spurs, the Grizzlies easily won the game.

So, Barkley and most people think that it should not be difficult for the Grizzlies to continue their winning streak on the Spurs.

However, competitive sports are not a comparison of combat effectiveness on paper.

Although judging from the books and recent results, the Grizzlies are indeed much better than the Spurs.

But in the actual game today, the Spurs performed in a state beyond people's imagination.

Uncertainty is one of the charms of competitive sports.

Of course, for Link, such uncertainty is really fucking.

Today, the Spurs were not surrendered when they played away.

I don’t know if the Spurs players want to give themselves a Christmas gift, but they were very strong as soon as they started today.

In the first round of attack, Aldridge hit a three-pointer against Jamie Cheung's defense.

That's right, three-pointer.

Aldridge is a No. 4 player with very accurate mid-range shooting, but three-pointers have never been Aldridge's specialty, and he himself does not like to shoot three-pointers.

Aldridge's season has had the highest three-point shooting per game so far, with only 1.5 three-point shootings.

Last season, Aldridge only tried 42 three-point shots in 82 games.

It was such a player who almost didn't make much three-pointer but made a three-pointer in the first attack at the beginning of the game.

From that moment on, the game seemed doomed to be unusual.

Then, Demar DeRozan also began to exert force.

Facing Link's defense, DeRozan made a mid-range emergency stop and jump shot.

Link's defense was completely invisible for this ball. When DeRozan stopped urgently, Link stopped as if he had overcome his inertia, without giving DeRozan a room to take action.

What's amazing is that DeRozan hit the ball steadily with Link's interference!

First, Aldridge made a three-pointer after the opening game, and then DeRozan hit Link forcibly.

Even Hubby Brin on the commentary seat said helplessly: "It seems that today, the people of San Antonio have received the protection of God."

It would be fine if the situation just now happened once or twice, but the key point is that the Spurs are all helping the whole game today.

Aldridge seemed to be able to score goals with one shot. He was simply a shooting machine that would not make mistakes. He scored goals with various fancy jump shots at mid-range, and could not even defend himself.

DeRozan is even more fake. He repeatedly stopped and pulled out at mid-range speed today. No matter how tight Link's interference is, the basketball is like a cruise missile and can always hit the target.

The touch of DeRozan and Aldridge was also transmitted to others. Today, the Spurs could shoot three-pointers individually, and they shot very accurately.

In this way, the Spurs suppressed the Grizzlies with their incredible hit rate.

The fans were happy to watch it, but Link was extremely depressed.

It was a game that could be won easily, but it was like this.

Why is the Grizzlies encountering this kind of thing like the Spurs in a very incredible state?

Can you still play a weak team?

After the third quarter, the Spurs took a 12-point lead with a terrifying three-point shooting percentage of up to 66.7%.

Among them, DeRozan and Aldridge both hit more than 60%!

If the Grizzlies were not strong enough, they would have been hit into garbage time in the game.

Although the Grizzlies are very passive now, everyone knows that the final result may not be certain.

In the fourth quarter, the game will officially enter Link time!

Although Aldridge and DeRozan are already super gods today, Link in the fourth quarter is often unstoppable.

Link did not disappoint everyone. In the first half of the fourth quarter, Link had already started taking over the game.

He fought wildly to grab rebounds, tried to score points, created space for his teammates, and quickly scored the score back.

But that's not enough, because Aldridge and DeRozan's shooting percentages in the fourth quarter are still very terrible.

The Spurs have been frustrated for a season and finally got a chance to vent against the Grizzlies. It can be seen that Aldridge and DeRozan don't want to let go easily.

So, in the second half of the fourth quarter, Link and the Spurs played a real fight.

Both sides attack each other, and no one can defend against each other, it depends on who breaks the string first.

In this way, Link performed a miracle of 17 points in the last five minutes of the game!

Due to physical fitness reasons, DeRozan and Aldridge's shooting percentage began to decline in the last minute and a half of the game.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Link led the team to open the score and finally won the victory.

Sure enough, Link during Link's time was invincible.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 123-127 at FedEx.

Aldridge made 17 of 25 shots today, shooting 68%, hitting a season-high 40 points.

Among them, Aldridge made 3 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line today! However, when it was worth mentioning, the only two three-pointers lost were all missed in the last minute and a half.

Although DeRozan's score was not as high as Aldridge's, he also scored a double-double with 26 points and 10 assists today.

DeRozan made 10 of 15 shots and 6 free throws, making 6 of 6 free throws, which was surprisingly efficient.

In addition, the Spurs also shot 62.5% of their super exaggerated three-point shooting percentage today.

Even in this era of popular three-point shooting, it is really incredible that a team can hit more than 60% of the three-point shooting percentage in a game.

In this state of the Spurs today, they will be in trouble if they encounter any team in the league.

Such perverted efficiency is enough to allow them to defeat any opponent.

The Bucks, Lakers, Clippers, Heat... Even these top teams in the league cannot withstand the Spurs' firepower today.

It's just a pity that the Spurs' opponent today is the Grizzlies.

Now that DeRozan is depressed, can he still make a bad reputation...

Link scored 47 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the game, scoring a triple-double for the second time this season!

Moreover, Link's shooting percentage in the whole game was as high as 68%, flush with Aldridge!

But the defensive treatment Aldridge encountered was completely different from the defensive treatment that Link received.

Moreover, Aldridge and DeRozan both had their shooting percentages falling at critical moments, while Link's shooting percentages rose sharply at critical moments.

The right judgment is right!

"Another perfect reversal, Link dominated another game! Today, Aldridge and DeRozan's performance was impeccable. They were just unlucky, their opponent was the first in the league!"

At the end of the game, Hubby Brown's shouts were drowned out by the cheers of the fans.

Under Link's magical performance, the Grizzlies once again refused to be upset!

It may be nothing great to beat the Spurs, but defeating a super godly Spurs is enough to shock everyone.

After the game, Bill Simmons updated his social media updates.

He posted a photo of Embiid crying after being eliminated in the divisional semifinal last season, and then wrote: "After seeing Link's performance today, Embiid was scared to tears."

Link's performance today is really scary, mainly because Aldridge and DeRozan, who already performed well, set off Link's high.

Countless people forwarded this update from Simmons, and Link also liked it under the real name.

Since Link said a day ago, "Our substitute center can beat Embiid", Embiid has been making a full blowout online.

Overnight, Embiid sent five tweets in a row to express his anger.

But Link has not responded, and this is a thumbs up until today.

In fact, Link is just telling the truth. Because he knows very well that his old partner, Marc Gasol, is one of the most effective players in this league to defend Embiid.

This is not Link's blind confidence, but Gasol can educate Embiid every time he hits 76 people.

Just like Howard, the peak of that year, raging countless centers in the league, led the team to the finals, and was invincible, but there was still Yao Ming, the miserable.

No matter how awesome you are this season, you are being hyped by the media as a "man who single-handedly replaced James" or an "invincible monster".

As long as you meet Yao Ming, Howard will definitely be beaten as his younger brother one.

And Embiid's victim is a center forward like Gasol!

Perhaps Embiid's data is indeed better than Gasol, he is "Olajuwon II" and "Bryant inside". But if he can't beat Gasol, he is the player who can suppress you.

But Embiid just doesn't have a good memory. Although he was still abused by Gasol Jr. last season, he was still furious after hearing Link's truth this year.

Now, seeing Bill Simmons' Twitter and Link's likes again, the "Great Emperor" was even more angry.
