After April 16, the NBA regular season in the 13-14 season will all end.

In this year's regular season, the Memphis Grizzlies are undoubtedly the only protagonist. In 74 wins in a single season, they are not only the first in the league, but also the first in history!

The second-placed Spurs in the league have 12 fewer wins than the first-placed Grizzlies in the league, which is also the first time in history.

When the Bulls won 72 wins in 1996, they only had 8 more wins compared to the second-place Supersonics in the league.

What is the concept of the gap between 12 wins? It is equivalent to the gap from eighth in the West to second in the West.

So, the Grizzlies are definitely the only protagonists in this year's regular season, and they are the only ones. In the regular season, no team can compare with the Grizzlies.

Therefore, as soon as the regular season ended, people also said that the ownership of MVP this season has lost its suspense.

Link won 70 wins last season, but still lost to James but failed to become MVP, which has caused great controversy. This year, Link won 74 wins "even more" and it is impossible for people to hand over the honor of MVP to others.

What's more, Link's personal data is no worse than James this season. He averaged 29 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game! 8 triple-doubles in a single season, 11th in history. He twice 50-point triple-doubles in a single season, the first in history!

Compared with the average assists and rebounds per game last season, there is a significant improvement! It is no exaggeration to say that Link is the most versatile player of this era!

Last season, Link lost to James mainly because he was slightly inferior in data. In addition, James' influence accumulated over the past decade has been somewhat affected by the vote.

But this year, no one can compare with Link in terms of influence. In terms of data, James' average rebounds and assists per game this season is completely incomparable to Link. In terms of record, there is no need to mention it.

Link is no less than Durant, who averaged 32 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists this season.

When it comes to Durant, Link's fans feel sorry. The only thing Link's data is that he is not as good as Durant in terms of data is scoring. However, Link's average of 29 points this season is no longer a low score. In the past three years, he is a perfect scoring leader! When Durant scored the scoring leader for the second time, he averaged only 27.7 points per game.

Unfortunately, this year, Link met Durant, who averaged 32 points per game, and he could only regret to pass by the scoring champion.

However, in addition to scoring champions, Link has been quite successful in the regular season this season. He is definitely an MVP, and even Durant and James fans do not have hope for it. This year's MVP is definitely Link's, and neither James nor Durant can stand the side.

The only suspense now is whether Link can become the first unanimous MVP in NBA history!

Even in Jordan's most dominant years, he had never been able to be elected MVP. The closest one to an MVP was O'Neal in 2000. At that time, he was only one vote away from becoming the first player in NBA history to be elected MVP. But that vote was voted for Allen Iverson by a reporter.

Until now, O'Neal still has not forgiven the reporter. After all, his small move made O'Neal miss a great achievement in his career.

Therefore, it is not easy to get a unanimous MVP. What's more, it is when Link has so many media enemies.

However, Link is already strong enough to be able to almost lock in the MVP title as soon as the regular season ends.

In the past few days, discussions about Link have emerged one after another. People are speculating about how many personal honors Link can win this year. Of course, some people are discussing whether the Grizzlies will become the "74-win total runner-up".

In the past few seasons, before the playoffs began, the topics people talked about often involved different stars.

But this year, Link seemed to have become the only protagonist before the playoffs, as if other stars were supporting him.

However, on the training ground of the Federal Express Arena, everything was not that lively.

While the outside world was discussing fiercely, every player of the Grizzlies was training for the Dallas Mavericks' playing style, as if others were discussing a team that had nothing to do with them.

No one dares to slack off, no one dares to slack off. Because once someone is lazy, Link will invite him to one-on-one.

Almost all Grizzlies players chose the latter if they were to fight Link or train hard.

One of the most significant changes in Link this year's playoffs is that he is really strict!

"Della, you missed someone again! In the game a few days later, no matter what you missed Calderon, Ellis or Devin Harris, they will make you pay!"

"Jimmy, what are you doing? Do you want to be fooled by Old Carter again?"

"Tubeus, be tough, don't be afraid! Do you think Dirk Nowitzki will give you humble because you are just a rookie in the playoffs??"

Link's roar always sounded in the training hall, and Dave Joggle is now simply a "hands-off boss". Because even if he doesn't care, Link will urge the players to train.

But it’s strange that why is Link so nervous just facing the eighth place in the West?

In the past two years, the Grizzlies have almost never encountered any trouble in the first round of the game. Judging from the Mavericks' condition a few days ago, they are not very strong either. Because a Grizzlies who did not do their best, they forced the Mavericks to the edge of the cliff.

Maybe Link doesn't want to see any accident happening.

No one knows why Link is so nervous. He can't say to others, "I've seen the future."

But Link knew very well that if you didn’t want to waste too much time in the first round, you had to put all your efforts in advance!

The Grizzlies won 74 wins in the regular season, which is indeed amazing. But the playoffs and the regular season are completely different concepts. Link believes what Nowitzki said to himself a few days ago. He believes that the Mavericks can really burst out with greater strength in the playoffs.

There is not no benefit in fighting the Mavericks in the first round. If you encounter an opponent worthy of all your strength in the first round, then the Grizzlies will only become more and more braver in the battle, and will only get into the state faster than others.

The Spurs were almost invincible after the first round. It can be said that the Mavericks pushed the Spurs out of their limit.

Link also hopes that the Mavericks can push the Grizzlies out of the limit, but tiebreaker? That's all right!

Before the playoffs started last year, Link invited everyone to his house to barbecue, fish and play cards. But this year, the two days when the regular season and the playoffs were too over, almost all the Grizzlies players spent in the training hall.

On April 19, the NBA playoffs officially started. But because the Grizzlies are the number one in the West, the Grizzlies did not play on the first day of the playoffs.

Today, NBA arranged a total of 4 playoff opening games. The process of these 4 games is different, but one thing is very similar - the higher-ranked teams have all failed!

In the first game, the Raptors, the third in the East, were beaten by the sixth in the East!

In the second game, the sixth-ranked Trail Blazers in the West defeated the Thunder through overtime! Lillard's shot equalizing the score in the last 1.2 seconds of regular time was regarded as a classic!

In the third game, the Eighth Hawks, who was ranked eighth in the East, actually defeated the highly anticipated Pacers by 8 points! Paul George's shooting percentage was only 33% in the whole game, and he and his team were obviously still playing at the regular season pace.

In the fourth game, the Golden State Warriors, the seventh in the Western Conference, used a 43% three-point shooting percentage to eliminate the experienced Spurs!

As soon as the results of the first round of the game came out, the whole world was shocked! On the first day of the playoffs, people experienced the uncertainty of the playoffs.

It is by no means accident that all four teams with higher rankings have failed!

Looking at the speechless result on the first day of the playoffs, Link was not worried.

He is very glad that he and the team have made sufficient preparations for the playoffs. He had long expected that this situation would be in the playoffs, so he took the lead in preventing it!

He knew that the regular season record could not determine the winning or losing of the playoffs, so he took the Mavericks very seriously from beginning to end. Link believed that the Grizzlies would never lose their chains in the playoffs.

Now, the Dallas are sure to be full of confidence, and they certainly feel that they can also make the higher-ranked Grizzlies pay the price. Since the other four teams can do it, so can they!
Chapter completed!
