Zach Randolph was successfully selected into the All-Star substitute, and now the Grizzlies no longer have only one All-Star player.

After the full All-Star lineup was announced, Memphis fans were all happy.

When Link first said the sentence "We are all All-Stars", the media said that Link was comforting himself. But now, the Grizzlies did have a second player selected for the All-Star, and those who were waiting to watch the Grizzlies jokes were speechless in an instant.

It is not easy for a team to have two players entering the All-Star Game at the same time. But this year, the situation is very special.

This season, there are seven teams with two or more players selected for the All-Star lineup, including the Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Thunder, Clippers and Grizzlies! Most of the players in the All-Star lineup come from these seven teams!

It is not difficult to see how serious the current situation of stars playing in groups. However, the Grizzlies are actually one of these seven teams, which must be very surprising.

After all, in most people's impression, the Grizzlies are Link's team alone. But now, they have the second veritable All-Star!

After the news was announced, when the Grizzlies players returned to Memphis, they were naturally enthusiastically sought after by local journalists.

It was difficult for the Grizzlies to come up with an All-Star player back then, but this is the second consecutive year. Two of the Grizzlies have been selected into the All-Star Game!

Last season was Link + Gasol Jr., and this season was Link + Randolph.

After getting off the plane, Link and Randolph became the two most popular reporters. The enthusiasm of these reporters was as if the Grizzlies won the goal at the Chesapeake Energy Arena yesterday.

But now, everyone is immersed in the joy of Randolph being selected as the All-Star. The loss yesterday? Not many people care about it anymore.

In the afternoon, Randolph went to the mall and spent $260,000! The next morning, when all the Grizzlies players arrived at the locker room, they found a small box with exquisite packaging on their cabinet.

Link and everyone smiled and opened the box. Sure enough, there was a golden Rolex watch inside, and Randolph did not break his promise!

"Waocao, you're really investing a lot!" Link took out his watch and tried it on his wrist, then found that his name was still engraved behind the watch!

Everyone's watches were engraved with their names! Randolph not only spent money this time, but also spent it with great care.

The players posted photos of their watches on social media one after another. For a time, Randolph spent a lot of money to give gifts to his teammates, and was circulating on the Internet.

The whole of Memphis was in harmony, and everyone on the Grizzlies were having fun. Everyone couldn't wait to see Link and Randolph fighting side by side in the All-Star Game, and the Grizzlies players were also preparing to create new glory in the next half season. However, another team that was in a completely opposite mood to the Grizzlies arrived at Memphis International Airport.

When John Wall walked into the airport hall, there were only a few reporters in front of him. When he and his teammates walked out, almost no one cared about it.

For a moment, Wall felt like a tour group, not a Memphis game. The draft pick who entered the league in the same class as Link smiled bitterly, thinking that he was playing in college and his team was much bigger than this.

Wall shook his head. Is he already so depressed after only more than two months left?

On September 29, 2012, a month before the start of the NBA new season, Wizards President Glenfield announced to the outside world that John Wall was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left knee due to repeated injuries, and is expected to miss the first dozen games of the new season. But in the end, the injury was not optimistic. Wall also changed from a predicted absence of more than a dozen games to absent dozens of games.

Since the injury was announced in September 2012, Wall did not finally make a comeback until January 12 some time ago. But when he reappeared on the court, he received a team with a record of only 5 wins and 28 losses.

It has been the third year since Wall came to the league, but the Wizards are destined to miss the playoffs again with this result.

When Link was already fighting Durant, Duncan, Nowitzki and others in the highest-level series in the Western Conference, Wall was still a playoff virgin.

Last season, Wall averaged 16.3 points, 8 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game, which was slightly lower than the rookie season, which was disappointing. Therefore, people have high hopes for Wall this season, hoping that he can be reborn and make major progress.

But after Wall's comeback, his performance is still lukewarm and his progress is not very good. He occasionally scores 20 points and 10 assists in some games, but sometimes, he is even difficult to score in double-digit points, and his performance is extremely unstable.

So, a voice pointed out, "The experience of two consecutive years of playoffs has already allowed Link to leave Wall far behind."

As a draft No. 1 pick, he was left behind by the draft? Joke!

However, even with such a hot topic, no reporters came up to ask reporters' questions at the airport. Wall clenched his fists, and he felt despised. What made Wall even more angry and helpless was that his performance in the last three games has indeed been very poor.

On January 26, the Wizards played the Bulls, Wall scored 14 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. On January 28, the Wizards played 76ers, Wall made 32 shots in 12, 9 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, and then on January 30, the Wizards played against the Kings, Wall scored 7 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.

In three consecutive games, Wall's performance was disappointing, and one game was even more disappointing! So now, no reporter came up to ask him questions, because in people's eyes, the Wizards had no chance of winning in Memphis. Wall could not shake Link's position in the Federal Express Arena.

Wall was both angry and helpless. The whole world was concerned about the watches Randolph gave to his teammates, while the Washington Wizards and him were like they were wearing invisible cloaks and no one cared about them.

So in the afternoon, when the Wizards arrived at the visiting team locker room at the Federal Express Arena, Wall's first words were, "Guys. We can't lose any more."

※※※

Does Wall want to lose? He really doesn't want to. It's not entirely Wall's responsibility to play like this this year.

After all, it's only more than half a month before Wall returns to the court. Even if Jordan comes, it's likely that it will be in vain if he takes over a team that has 5 wins and 28 losses.

Therefore, although the Wizards' current record is hopeless, Wall's ambition is still vigorous. He urgently needs to prove himself this season. Link has become a popular league player. Griffin has been selected for the All-Star Game for the third consecutive year. Jeremy Lin has received an annual salary of tens of millions, and Paul George has become the Pacers' number one person.

These guys who entered the league with Wall had already made a fortune. As the top pick, Wall naturally was unwilling to fall behind!

In the previous three games, he was in a very low state and had not recovered from injury. But Wall knew very well that tonight was his chance to be proud. If he could perform well in the Federal Express Arena, he would immediately return to everyone's sight.

He still wants to win.

So at the beginning of this game, Wall played very hard. When the Grizzlies were still strolling in the garden, Wall led the Wizards to suddenly exert their strength.

He broke through and passed the game, and scored 7 points and 5 assists in the first quarter! The Grizzlies seemed to have not adapted yet and suddenly increased their intensity and were a little stunned.

In the first quarter, Wall led the Wizards to a 30-23 offensive! Leading the Grizzlies 7 points and entering the second quarter!

"What's going on? Are the Grizzlies still missing the watches they received? They are known for their defense and actually got the Wizards 30 points in the quarter, which is incredible!"

Hubby Brown shook his head. Wall had a strong desire to attack today. If the Grizzlies cannot wake up as soon as possible, the score difference will be widened sooner or later.

Wall on the bench was proud, he had a premonition that it would be his night.

"No one fucking wants to kill us here!" This is how Link told his teammates on the Grizzlies' bench.
Chapter completed!
