157: finally upgraded

Paul Pierce became popular. When his peak was over, this forward who had played for the Celtics for 13 seasons became popular all over the United States again.

But there is no doubt that Pierce felt extremely troubled about his popularity. Because in all the basketball news, he appeared as Link's background board. Looking at the photos of himself tearing off Link's jersey, Pierce couldn't help but shake his head.

He would rather not fire this kind of fire method.

The day after the Grizzlies and Celtics' match ended, Link became a hot topic in the journalists' works. As the first undraft in NBA history to score a triple-double in its rookie season, Link's all this shocked the whole world.

In a undraft, how could He De perform so versatilely? Major basketball media are discussing Link, the magic of this Chinese player has caused a sensation in the whole world.

After getting up the next day, Link looked at the overwhelming reports about himself, and suddenly he felt like he had experienced "Lin Crazy". The whole world was discussing him, and Jeff Austin even told Link that he would be the cover character in the next issue of Sports Illustrated.

The reporter who called Link by "hink" publicly apologized, but even so, it could not help him avoid being fired. Celebrities from all walks of life were evaluating him. Pierce even said helplessly in an interview, "I can't give him any advice because I'm not even as perfect as he did."

Looking at this news, Link smiled with relief. It was great to be noticed by the whole world.

Of course, what impressed Link the most on the triple-pair night was the orange-flavored Gatorade drink. Tony Allen and Randolph were worthy of being their good brothers and were not ruthless when they were smeared. Until this morning, Link felt a smell of Gatorade on his body. When he smelled the orange-flavored Gatorade again, Link would probably feel nauseous.

But to be honest, Link really enjoys his time with the Grizzlies. Even after his outstanding performance during the "Lin Crazy" period, Jeremy Lin still faces exclusion and injustice. But Link is very glad that in Memphis, he has a group of teammates who are willing to celebrate the victory with him.

Well, although the way of celebrating is a little too rogue.

Link turned off the TV and mobile phone, and did not continue to immerse himself in the joy of winning a triple-double for the first time in his career. The past will eventually pass, and Link now must continue to move forward.

Link will not be satisfied after winning the triple-double. In March, he still has a small goal to complete the small white strips in front of him!

After Link won a triple-double, the Grizzlies' Devil schedule in March is coming to an end. Basically, after experiencing a four-game losing streak, the Grizzlies have never encountered any particularly big setbacks.

However, no one expected that the Grizzlies would experience another two-game losing streak at the end of March. After Link won a triple-double, all teams paid great attention to the Grizzlies. The fact that Pierce became a gorgeous background board undoubtedly sounded the alarm for other teams in the league.

On March 25, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Grizzlies by 3 points at home. Ross scored 24 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in the whole game. Link must admit that Ross was really too strong during this period. Conley is such an excellent defender, and Ross said he would be better than him.

"British Jordan" Lore Deng also scored 20 points and 6 rebounds in this game. Lore Deng played very cautiously today. He didn't want to become popular all over the world as a background board like Pierce. Overall, the Bulls took the game very seriously, and in the end they relied on their firm defense to bite the Grizzlies to the end.

The Grizzlies performed the last shot today, Conley, who had the chance to equalize the score and drag the game into overtime. But the Grizzlies were not so strong every time. In the end, Conley's three-point shot hit the box, and the Grizzlies passed by the victory by 3 points.

Link was also excellent in this game, with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. But the Grizzlies lost the game, so he was not so satisfied with his data.

However, Link is not satisfied, which does not mean that others are not satisfied. After the game, Link's match against Lore Deng said, "I was nervous and extremely nervous throughout the game. Because Link is definitely the kind of player who can kill the game if you give him a little chance!"

The game where Pierce was tragically scored by Link to a triple-double seems to have brought great psychological shadow to other players.

96-93, the Grizzlies' five-game winning streak was interrupted.

On March 27, the Grizzlies met their old enemy Spurs again. Spurs substitute point guard George Hill exploded without warning today, and came out of the bench and scored 30 points, catching the Grizzlies off guard.

However, this game is quite controversial, because Hill had 12 penalty kicks throughout the game, and people think that the referee favored the Spurs was too serious. Although the league announced the referee report for this game after the game, it was just a formality. Because the result of the game will definitely not be changed.

103-97, the Grizzlies lost 6 points in San Antonio, and unfortunately lost two consecutive games. Link scored a double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds in this game, which made Popovich quite unhappy.

"We should have done better with his defense, and he is one of the most dangerous players in the league."

After the game, Popovich's comments to Link were very high. Although the Spurs won in this game, Popovich was not happy at all.

At first, he found that he still had no way to deal with Link. With an elderly Richard Jefferson, Popovich was helpless with Link. Popovich now only has one wish, hoping that the offseason draft can successfully defeat the young man named Leonard!

Secondly, after the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies, which was already seventh in the West, fell to eighth in the West, and the Grizzlies had a record of the same, but because the Hornets beat the Grizzlies more times, the Hornets ranked higher than the Grizzlies according to the rules.

When he thought that the Spurs had an increased chance of meeting the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs, Popovich wanted to slap himself in the face. If he had known, he would have just rested the main player today.

At this point, the Grizzlies' March schedule is basically over. After playing with the Golden State Warriors at home on March 30, the Grizzlies will enter the last half month of the regular season sprint.

But for Link, his March has not yet reached its peak!

"What? Do you still have to go back to train?"

Jeff Austin looked at Link in surprise. It was already seven o'clock in the evening. He had just taken Link to take the cover photo of the next sports pictorial. Austin wanted to have a meal with Link, but Link told him that he had to go back to the basketball court to train.

"Yes, the playoffs are about to start soon, I don't want my form to relax. The recent two consecutive losses have made me a little nervous." Link scratched his head with a smile, "So I'm sorry, Mr. Jeff Austin, I may not be able to have dinner with you."

"You have a rare night of rest. There will be no competition tomorrow. Let's relax today."

"No, I feel nervous as long as I don't train. After all, my starting point is much lower than others. Next time, I will treat you to a meal when you come to Memphis, hehe."

Seeing that Link had been insisting, Jeff Austin had to give up. As a manager, he could never let the players go to training.

Seeing Link drive away, Austin was still a little confused. Athlete at this age of Link is logically the time to play. What's more, Link who came from the Development League suddenly became rich, and most players of his type would spend money like water because of sudden fortunes.

But what about Link? This guy is training in addition to training.

In fact, Link wanted to take a day off, but he couldn't wait. The little white strip was only a little bit of a gap and he didn't want to leave the upgrade until tomorrow.

After coming to the training ground, Link warmed up and immediately entered the training. At this time, Link's training was not just a fixed-point shooting, but he gave himself a lot of dribbling practice.

The weaknesses of the two forwards, George and Durant, in the ball-holding offense, made Link very concerned because his own ball-holding skills were not that stable. In his late years, Hill's scores mostly came from shooting or layups after receiving the ball, and the number of times he held the ball was not many. Now, Link's ball-holding offense is mostly based on footsteps, but the dribbling is just average.

Therefore, Link hopes that his dribbling level will be more mature.

He doesn't ask that he is strong in all aspects, but he hopes that he has no shortcomings in all aspects. Otherwise, in the playoffs, any of your shortcomings will be magnified and targeted by the opponent.

George only played at the MVP level after he got to the dribble level. With these lessons from the previous cars, Link naturally had to learn from his experience. The forward trainer practiced dribble well, which would be of great help to improve his overall strength.

In this way, Link practiced alone in Will's way. After an hour and a half, the sweaty Link stopped and looked at his body and smirked.
Chapter completed!
