Link was elected as the All-Star vote king, which was expected, but it was a bit shocking after it was actually achieved.

Previously, in NBA history, only Yao Ming, a Chinese player, was able to beat superstars such as James and Kobe, and become the All-Star vote king. Of course, Yao Ming is also the first Chinese All-Star vote king.

But to be honest, the factors in the Chinese market accounted for part of Yao Ming's All-Star votes in 2005 and 2006.

Yao Ming was cast into the All-Star starter in his rookie season, which has allowed the NBA to see the mysterious Eastern power. In the era when the Internet gradually became popular in China in 2005 and 2006, it was not surprising that Yao Ming, who had a huge fan base, could become the vote king.

Of course, Yao Ming's own strength is not bad, and he is indeed one of the best centers in the NBA. To be fair, putting aside the factors in the Chinese market, the chances of Yao Ming being the king of votes are not high.

However, as a Chinese, although Link also has dividends from the Chinese market, he is definitely not as much as Yao Ming. In other words, in addition to being supported by the Chinese market, Link was also truly recognized by everyone, including American fans because of his strength. It is more difficult for him to become the vote king than Yao Ming.

Therefore, Link was able to become the vote king, which caused heated discussion.

However, on the second day after becoming the Queen of Tickets, Link still put Yao Ming in a very high position. "Yao created an era, and he proved to the world that Asians can also gain a foothold on the basketball court. I am very happy that I can inherit the glory he left behind, and I will do my best to present wonderful games to everyone in the All-Star Game."

Link is not particularly excited about becoming the All-Star vote king. His mind is now on 10 consecutive wins. After all, becoming the vote king is something that Link has been mentally prepared for a long time.

From the first round of voting to the present, Link's ranking has never fallen from the first place.

Becoming the Queen of Tickets, Link also said to Conley, "I'll wait for you now."

Conley was inspired to play with Link on the All-Star Game.

The Grizzlies have been in the All-Star lineup for two consecutive years, and two people have been selected for the All-Star lineup. The first was Gasol and Link, and the second was Randolph and Link.

But this year, the market for inside players is very bad. Among the five starting players of the Western Conference All-Stars, Griffin is the only inside player. In the East, there is not even one inside player. Insiders are ushering in their cold winter.

So, the "slot" of the All-Stars with Link naturally fell on Conley. Conley didn't want the record of "two people are selected as All-Stars every year" to be broken.

Therefore, after the league announced the final results of the All-Star vote on January 21, the Grizzlies became even more cruel.

On January 24 and 25, the Grizzlies will play back-to-back games in home and away games and in the Rockets respectively.

These two games are considered the focus battle and are also considered to be a turning point in whether the Grizzlies can achieve their goal of winning ten consecutive games.

The Rockets, which have an All-Star starting point guard, are naturally not weak teams. Although their record this season has not met expectations, they still have hard strength.

It is not easy for the Grizzlies to defeat the Rockets in two consecutive games. If you are not lucky, the Grizzlies may even suffer two consecutive losses in one round.

However, these two games became a key battle for Mike Conley to accumulate popularity for himself.

In the first game, Chandler Parsons broke out again at the Grizzlies' home court. He scored 34 points in the game and shot as high as 64.7%.

People all said that this was a warning from Parsons to the All-Star Telling King. Link also played very hotly, and Parsons had already gone wild on his head for two consecutive games.

It’s not that Link is not careful in defense, it’s that guy who can make a random shot!

Now Link knows why so many teams are competing to give him a big contract in the future.

However, Harden's performance today was a bit sorry for the All-Star starting point guard. The Bearded Man made only 2 of 11 shots in the game. An All-Star starting athlete had only 2 sports goals in the whole game, which was very incredible.

It seemed as if Harden's touch was absorbed by Parsons.

Under such circumstances, Conley's performance of 18 points, 9 assists and 3 steals was considered a icing on the cake for Link.

Parsons couldn't beat four hands with one punch. Although he scored 34 points, the Rockets still lost 98-91 with the joint cooperation between Conley and Link, and the Grizzlies won four consecutive games!

24 hours later, the two sides continued to fight. However, this time, the battlefield moved from Memphis to Space City.

Parsons scored 37 points yesterday, as if he had used up all his luck. Today, in front of home fans, he was almost autistic by Link.

The "good, rich and handsome" made 5 of 16 shots in the game, and scored 11 points with a shooting percentage of 31.3%. The magical goals that could be scored yesterday failed today.

Link contributed a game-high 37 points plus 11 rebounds and 10 assists, winning a triple-double for the fifth time this season!

With five triple-doubles in a single season, Link is currently the player with the most triple-doubles in the league this season.

Under Link's fierce revenge, Parsons and the Rockets were completely destroyed. 99 to 81, the Grizzlies washed the Toyota Center!

People thought the Rockets could stop the Grizzlies, not to mention letting the Grizzlies lose two consecutive games, at least letting the Grizzlies lose one game and take off a layer of skin.

Little did they know that the result was so disappointing.

The Rockets seemed to have no power to fight back in their continuous battles with the Grizzlies.

Under Link's aura, Conley's 17 points and 8 assists were not that dazzling. But even so, an espn article after the game claimed that "This year, Mike deserves an All-Star spot. There is no doubt that he is the best player in the Grizzlies except Link."

It is a good thing that the media can speak out for Conley. Although Link's halo is dazzling, it will also illuminate the people around him.

At this point, the Grizzlies won 5 consecutive victories! They have already walked halfway through the goal of 10 consecutive victories.

Next, the five opponents of the Grizzlies are the Trail Blazers, Kings, Timberwolves, Bucks and the most critical Thunder.

Before meeting the Thunder, the Kings had just lost to the Grizzlies among several opponents of the Grizzlies, and they have been proven not to have the ability to beat the Grizzlies.

Although the Timberwolves have Love, the team's record of 21 wins and 21 losses is also the best record in the past nine years, and they still have the possibility of entering the playoffs. But it is still unrealistic to expect the Timberwolves to stop the Grizzlies.

As for the Milwaukee Bucks... If anyone has hope for this last team in the league, it would be a problem with his brain. The last time the Grizzlies were able to beat the Bucks, which is enough to show the strength gap between the two sides.

Looking at it, the only team that has the hope to prevent the Grizzlies from winning 9 consecutive victories before the Grizzlies and the Thunder are the only team left.

Therefore, the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers on January 28 is regarded as the last heavyweight battle in January except for the Thunder vs. The Heat!

If the Grizzlies win, then they will likely easily defeat the three opponents and win 9 consecutive victories, reaching the Thunder and getting back the 10 consecutive victories that they lost at the beginning.

If the Grizzlies fail, everything they did before will be in vain, and Link's 10-game winning streak will become a joke.

The Trail Blazers are highly expected by everyone. Last season they were only one step away from the playoffs. This season, the Trail Blazers have been firmly between fourth and sixth in the Western Conference. Although it is difficult for them to go further, they are definitely not easy to play.

Aldridge, Lillard, Matthews, Batum and Lopez, none of the five starting players of the Trail Blazers are dragging their feet.

Even the omnipotent Grizzlies are destined to be unable to win easily on the Trail Blazers.

What's more, there is Damien Lillard who is also eyeing the All-Star position on the Trail Blazers...

※※※

At the end of the Grizzlies' continuous fight with the Rockets, the Portland Trail Blazers also ended their battle with the Warriors at the Oracle Arena.

Stephen Curry kept shaking his head after the game. As a team with similar record as the Trail Blazers, he didn't expect that he would lose so badly today.

103 to 88, 15 points difference, the Warriors lost at home!

Sure enough, any team that meets the Trail Blazers is destined to have no good results.

However, what annoyed Curry the most was not only this defeat, but also his performance today.

23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 47.5%. At first glance, Curry's performance today was nothing wrong with it and played very well.

But if it were Billyllard, that wouldn't be the case.

Lillard faced Curry, the starting point guard of the Western Conference All-Star team today, scoring 38 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. With 23 crazy shots, he also scored a 56.5% shooting percentage and made 5 of 8 three-pointers.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lillard completely beat Curry today.

"Damion Lillard should be selected for the All-Star lineup. If the head coaches of those 30 teams are not blind, they should vote for Lillard!" At the Warriors' scene, Steve Cole, who commented on the game, couldn't help but applaud Lillard.

Cole must admit that he is a Curry fan. When it's okay, Cole even fantasized about how to maximize Curry's role.

But today, he is still impressed by Lillard.

After the game, Lillard became the most highly anticipated guy in the game.

An espn reporter naturally knew that in two days, the focus battle between the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies would begin. So he deliberately asked a question related to the Grizzlies.

"Mike and you, if you insist on choosing one, who do you think is more qualified to be selected as the All-Star substitute?"

The reporter obviously digs a hole to jump for Lillard, but Lillard is not stupid. Although he is only in the second grade, he is a senior rookie, so his mind is more mature than that of ordinary second grade players. He usually can't find any problems with his speech.

"I don't know, I can't pick it. I just know, I have to do my best in the game against the Grizzlies! There is no doubt that we want to win. It has nothing to do with the Grizzlies' winning streak, because if we don't want to win, why should we play?"

Lillard knew very well that today could only be considered a warm-up at most, and the bigger challenge had not begun yet!

Last summer, Lillard and Aldridge made a lot of money in Link’s training camp. At the same time, they also clearly saw Link’s terrible strength. Since then, Lillard has been targeting defeating Link and the Grizzlies.

He longs to defeat the best.

And now, he added another one to this goal - defeating Mike Conley.
Chapter completed!
