Every year, only 60 lucky young people in the world can enter the NBA to play through the draft. The 60 selected people stepped on the bodies of countless unsuccessful players who were holding on to the NBA's dream and won the NBA's chance of a contract. But even so, not all of these 60 people can survive in the NBA.

Tabit, who is currently playing in the Vipers, is now a popular potato and has become a hot potato that the Rockets don’t have time to throw. However, it has only been two and a half years since the day he was called the "Next Mutombo".

Taylor Griffin is still looking for the possibility of returning to the NBA to play. As a second round pick in 2009, he was cut in only 8 games with the Suns. Looking at his younger brother Blake Griffin in the league, I don’t know what Taylor is feeling.

From the second round pick to the second round, only half of the 60 players selected every year can survive successfully in the league. Being selected only means that you have the qualifications to compete with the best basketball players in the world. But whether you can compete or not depends on your accomplishments.

Even the players who were successfully selected were so down and out, let alone those who couldn't even get into the 60-man range.

If you lose the draft, you can usually only work hard to show yourself in the summer league. If you are lucky, you can subsidize your family with a 10-day short contract. If you are unlucky, you can only play abroad and give up your dream of NBA from then on.

And it is rare to lose the draft that can accumulate strength and make a name for the NBA.

Therefore, when Los Angeles fans and media discovered that a undraft was coming to compete with their favorite No. 1 pick for the All-Star position, they were unacceptable.

Indeed, before Link, Ben Wallace had set an example for the group of undrafts. He got the maximum salary, played All-Stars, and reaped the championship. He proved to the world that he could do these things even if he failed to undrafts!

But at that time, Daben's success had nothing to do with the Clippers. Daben played all his career in Eastern teams, and even if he was selected as an All-Star, he would not affect the Western Conference.

But now, when Link touched the Los Angeles people's "cake", they immediately stopped doing it.

The remarks of the Clippers' reporter John Buha have caused widespread discussion. Among them, there must be those who support him, and almost all Los Angeles fans are on his side.

But if there is support, there will be opposition. The local media in Memphis declared, "John Buha's performance is extremely disrespectful to the fans."

Former NBA famous coach and current famous commentator Huby Brown said, "The All-Star Game is a grand event for fans, and everyone should respect the fans' choices. Buha's attack on Link is ridiculous. Because the one who chose Link is the fans themselves!"

"I don't know what that guy is so mean, but he even devalues ​​Link as worthless and cannot stop Link's upward momentum. What's wrong with playing All-Stars after the draft? As long as you have the strength, who cares about your background?" Charles Barkley also looked at his position on a show on T.nt TV.

It seems that except for local media and fans in Los Angeles, most people are on Link's side.

That's right, Link's votes were originally voted by the fans themselves, which means they wanted to see Link play.

Let this magical undraft go to the court to face James and Anthony, and see how the old enemies Link and Durant will cooperate just by thinking about these scenes, fans find it interesting.

John Buha's clever words made him fall into dire straits.

However, since the topic has been opened, it cannot be taken back.

Link sighed, now, before the All-Star Game voting results came out, every game between him and Griffin would be observed by people with a magnifying glass. Every game they would be compared by people.

In the past, in Link's eyes, the All-Star Game was an entertainment event, and there was nothing good to watch. As for competitive sports, the focus was on real skills. And the performance undoubtedly lost the most charming part of the competition.

But now Link realizes that the bloody storm behind the All-Star Game is quite competitive!

In this hot atmosphere, the Grizzlies, who lost to the Thunder, were back on the road.

Before that, the Grizzlies welcomed great news that Randolph's knee finally healed.

After several games of rest and physical therapy, Randolph's knee pain completely disappeared and he also played a satisfactory state during training.

So the Grizzlies' home match against the Knicks on January 12 was the beginning of Randolph's test.

Anthony only played 20 minutes due to injury and scored 14 points. The most exaggerated thing is that even so, this is the Knicks' highest score today.

Randolph scored 26 points and 10 rebounds in the whole game, and forced the "little bully" Stodmeier to become a "little weak chicken". Regarding the little bully, Link only defeated Sun Ce next door.

Who is Sun Ce???

Link also performed well, with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. When the Black Bears and Link "joined" again, the Grizzlies seemed to have become the vicious beast again.

94 to 83, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Knicks and avoided a series of losses.

But at the same time, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Miami Heat at home! Griffin scored 20 points and 12 rebounds in the game. Although his shooting percentage was only a pitiful 39.1%, his opponent was the Big Three Miami, so the Los Angeles media still couldn't help but whine at Griffin.

"He should be the well-deserved All-Star!"

Link doesn't want to talk nonsense with the Los Angeles media, but Randolph is different.

"His shooting percentage, Link's shots were higher than him with his eyes closed." Randolph, who had already accumulated a stubbornness, responded to Link.

On the 14th, the Grizzlies killed the Hornets in the reconstruction at home. Link scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, Randolph scored 20 points and 11 rebounds, and the Grizzlies won two consecutive games. Today, the Clippers did not play, and the quarrels temporarily calmed down for a day.

On January 16, the Grizzlies fought against the Chicago Bulls again. The last time they played the Bulls, Link scored a 40-point triple-double, so fans were very excited about this game. But Derek Ross' injury suddenly made the game boring.

Without Ross, the Bulls' offense was simply silent. According to a reporter who did not want to be named, there is only one word on the offensive tactics page in the tactical manual of Thibodeau: Derek Ross.

Without Ross, the Bulls would hardly have attacked.

Link scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and did not score another exaggerated data similar to a 40-point triple-double. The main reason is that the entire fourth quarter was garbage time. Link didn't play much and couldn't beat the data. 102 to 86, the Grizzlies beat the top in the Eastern Conference with blood!

Today, the Clippers lost 29 points away! Griffin was beaten by Millsap in the whole game, scoring only 10 points and 11 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was still only a low 41%.

Now, it was the Memphis media’s turn to show off. “A few days later, when the results of the second round of voting were announced, I wouldn’t be surprised if Griffin fell to third. As a player who mainly attacks the penalty area, his shooting percentage is not even 45%, which is ridiculous.”

John Buha: ""

Griffin: "I want to quit the group chat."

In the next two games, the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets and the Pistons respectively, and the score difference was above 10 points.

In two games, Link scored 18 points and 10 assists and 3 rebounds in one game, and finally scored another double-double. In one game, 24 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, and another standard 20+5+5.

At this point, the Grizzlies achieved the longest five-game winning streak after losing to the Thunder! It can be said that they were very determined to help Link harvest fans wildly!

In contrast, the Clippers lost to the defending champion Mavericks in one of two games and lost to the Timberwolves in one game! Moreover, in these two games, Griffin's shooting percentage was around 40%. The 40% shooting percentage was not high for outside players, let alone Griffin is an inside player! If it was considered to be a bloodbathed by the Jazz, the Clippers had already lost three consecutive times!

The Clippers' continuous losses and Griffin's recent downturn have made the popular monster questioned.

"Behind the wonderful dunk, is he really qualified to be an All-Star?" This is an article published by the espn columnist with this title. Griffin has been pushed to the forefront!

At this critical moment, two days before the NBA announced the results of the second round of All-Star voting, on January 19, the Clippers beat the Raptors 103-91 at home. Griffin scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, with a shooting percentage of 54.5%!

All Los Angeles fans cheered and Griffin finally saved his face!

John Buha said excitedly after the game, "In two days, we will witness Griffin becoming a member of the Western Conference All-Star!"

Link was not nervous about this because tomorrow, the last day before the league announced the voting results, the Grizzlies will play a game against the Sacramento Kings at home.

And he believed that he would definitely be able to perform better than Griffin. He would really not play well tomorrow. Based on his previous performance, Link felt that he should be able to surpass Griffin in terms of votes.

"What, Griffin only scored 18 points and the Los Angeles people had a collective orgasm? Look, Link's score is lower than that tomorrow, so I walked back to the locker room with my hands upside down!"

As a result, Randolph, who had a sloppy beard, set up a flag for Link in front of the reporter.
Chapter completed!
