Reverse Growth Superstar - 1288
On December 23, the day before Christmas Eve, the Grizzlies ushered in their last opponent before Christmas at the Federal Express Arena, the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs’ current record is only 11 wins and 17 losses, ranking tenth in the West. The post-GDP era and Leonard’s departure greatly hurt the Spurs.
The Spurs are no longer one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference. Although they have DeRozan and Aldridge, they still can’t stop the Spurs’ decline.
Although the Spurs did not fall into the bottom of the league, judging from the current situation, it is indeed difficult for the Spurs to reach the top eight in the Western Conference.
The last time the Grizzlies and the Spurs met, the Grizzlies won the game easily.
Therefore, Barkley and most people believe that it should not be difficult for the Grizzlies to continue their winning streak with the Spurs.
However, competitive sports is not a comparison of combat power on paper.
Although from the book and recent record, the Grizzlies are indeed much better than the Spurs.
But in the actual game today, the Spurs played a state beyond people’s imagination.
Uncertainty, this is one of the charms of competitive sports.
Of course, for Link, this kind of uncertainty is really fucking.
Today, the Spurs in the away game did not catch it all.
I don’t know if the Spurs players want to give themselves a Christmas gift. In short, as soon as the game starts today, they are very strong.
In the first round of the offense, Aldridge scored a three-pointer against Jeffrey Green’s defense.
That’s right, a three-pointer.
Aldridge is a 4th player with very accurate mid-range shooting, but three-pointers have not been Aldridge’s specialty, and he himself does not like to shoot three-pointers.
Aldridge’s career so far has averaged the highest number of three-pointers per game in a season, only 1.5 three-pointers per game.
Last season, Aldridge only attempted 42 three-pointers in 82 games.
It’s such a player who barely shoots three-pointers, but made a three-pointer in the first attack of the game.
From that moment on, the game seemed destined to be unusual.
Subsequently, DeMar DeRozan also began to exert strength.
Facing Link’s defense, DeRozan made a mid-range emergency stop jumper.
Link’s defense on this ball was not leaking. At the moment DeRozan stopped abruptly, Link also stopped as if he had overcome inertia, without giving DeRozan a shot.
The magic is that DeRozan froze and shot the ball steadily against Link’s interference!
First, Aldridge scored a three-pointer after the opening, and DeRozan beat Link successfully.
Even Hubie Brin in the commentary reluctantly said: “It seems that today, the people of San Antonio are protected by God.”
It’s okay if the situation just happened once or twice, but the point is that the Spurs were so surprised today that the whole game was very helpful.
Aldridge seems to be able to score a goal with a shot. He is simply a shooting machine that can’t make mistakes. He uses a variety of fancy jumpers to score goals at the middle distance, and he can’t prevent it.
DeRozan is even more fake. Today, he repeatedly stopped at the mid-range and tried hard. No matter how tight Link’s interference is, basketball is like a cruise missile and can always hit the target.
The touch of DeRozan and Aldridge also spread to others. Today the Spurs can shoot three-pointers personally, and they are very accurate.
In this way, the Spurs suppressed the Grizzlies with an incredible hit rate.
The fans looked happy, but Link was extremely depressed.
A game that can be easily won, but it is like this.
Why did the Spurs burst into such a situation that they happened to be met by the Grizzlies!
Can you still play a weak team?
At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs had a 12-point lead with 66.7% of their terrifying three-pointers.
Among them, DeRozan and Aldridge both shot more than 60%!
If it weren’t for the Grizzlies’ strength, it is estimated that the game would have been thrown into garbage time.
Although the Grizzlies are very passive now, everyone knows that the final result is not always certain.
In the fourth quarter, the game will officially enter Link time!
Although Aldridge and DeRozan are super gods today, Link in the fourth quarter is often unstoppable.
Link did not disappoint everyone. In the first half of the fourth quarter, Link had already begun to take over the game.
He frantically grabbed rebounds, scored hard, created space for his teammates, and quickly pulled the score back.
But this is not enough, because Aldridge and DeRozan’s fourth quarter shooting rate is still terrible.
The Spurs frustrated for a season and finally got a chance to defeat the Grizzlies to vent. It can be seen that Aldridge and DeRozan did not want to let go easily.
So, in the second half of the fourth quarter, Link and Spurs Gemini staged a real fairy fight.
The two sides attacked each other, and no one could prevent the other, it was up to whoever broke the string first.
In this way, Link performed a miracle of scoring 17 points in the last five minutes of the game!
Due to physical reasons, DeRozan and Aldridge’s shooting rate began to decline in the last minute and a half of the game.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Link led the team to open the score and finally won.
Sure enough, Link in Link’s time is invincible.
In the end, the Spurs lost the Grizzlies 123 to 127 in Federal Express.
Aldridge made 17 of 25 shots today, shooting 68% from the field, hitting a season-high 40 points.
Among them, Aldridge made 3 of 5 shots from beyond the arc today! However, it is worth mentioning that the only two three-pointers missed on the second shot were missed in the last minute and a half.
Although DeRozan did not score as high as Aldridge, he also scored 26 points and 10 assists today.
DeRozan made 10 of 15 shots and 6 of 6 free throws. His efficiency was amazing.
In addition, the Spurs also shot 62.5% of their exaggerated three-pointers.
Even in this era when three-pointers are popular, a team can shoot more than 60% of three-pointers in a game, it is really incredible.
The Spurs are in this state today, and they will be unlucky for any team in the league.
Such a perverted efficiency is enough for them to defeat any opponent.
The Bucks, Lakers, Clippers, Heat… even these leading teams in the league can’t resist the Spurs’ firepower today.
It’s just a pity that the Spurs’ opponent today is the Grizzlies.
Now that DeRozan is depressed, can he make an upset…
Link has 47 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. For the second time this season, he has a 40-point triple-double!
In addition, Link’s shooting percentage in the entire game was as high as 68%, which was equal to Aldridge!
But Aldridge’s defensive treatment and Link’s defensive treatment are completely different.
Moreover, Aldridge and DeRozan both dropped their hit rates at critical moments, while Link’s hit rate at critical moments went up.
Sit down!
“Another perfect reversal. Link dominated another game! Today, Aldridge and DeRozan’s performance is impeccable. It’s just unlucky. Their opponent is the first man in the league!”
At the end of the game, Hubby Brown’s shouts were drowned out by the cheers of the fans.
Under Link’s magical play, the Grizzlies once again refused to be upset!
Beating the Spurs may not be great, but defeating a super-spur is enough to shock everyone’s jaw.
After the game, Bill Simmons updated his social media updates.
He posted a photo of Embiid crying after being eliminated in the conference semifinals last season, and then accompanied the text: “Looking at Link’s performance today, Embiid was scared to tears.”
Link’s performance today is indeed too scary, mainly because Aldridge and DeRozan, who have performed well in the first place, set off Link’s height.
Countless people reposted this post of Simmons, and Link also liked this post under his real name.
Since Link said that “our backup center can beat Embiid” a day ago, Embiid has been on the Internet.
Overnight, Embiid sent five consecutive tweets to express his anger.
But Link never responded, until today this point of praise.
In fact, Link was just telling the truth. Because he knows very well that his old partner Marc Gasol is one of the most effective players in the league to defend Embiid.
It’s not that Link is blindly confident, but that Gasol can educate Embiid every time he plays the 76ers.
It’s like howard, the peak of the year, ravaged countless centers in the league, led the team to the finals, invincible, but there is still Yao Ming, the master.
Regardless of how awesome you are this season, the media has been touted as “the man who only changed James” or “invincible Warcraft”.
As long as he met Yao Ming, Howard would definitely be beaten one-on-one as his younger brother.
And Embiid’s sufferer is a center like Gasol!
Perhaps Embiid does have better data than Gasol, and it is “Olajuwon II” and “Inside Kobe”. But if you can’t beat Gasol, you can’t. He is the player who can suppress you.
But Embiid doesn’t have a long memory. Although he was still miserably abused by Gasol last season, he was still furious after hearing the truth from Link this year.
Now, seeing Bill Simmons’ Twitter and Link’s likes again, “The Great” is even more angry.
Indeed, Link’s comeback today is amazing, and his state is amazing.
But most of the comebacks were attributed to Link, and Gasol, who started for Jokic in this game, did not have much performance worth mentioning.
The audience had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. This is all Gasol’s contribution today~www.mtlnovel.com~ Gasol was squeezed onto the bench this season. It was not without reason. In Embiid’s view, an old Marc Gasol is not to be afraid of!
The current self can definitely handle that old Spaniard.
So, after making five tweets screaming Link yesterday, Embiid tapped the keyboard again.
“Congratulations Link, but your winning streak can only stay in 14 games. See you in Philadelphia, you and your backup center. Also I want to say, shut up Bill, no one wants to listen to your nonsense.”
Embiid is eager for his hands, not afraid of the upcoming defending champion and the league’s first man.
The process is over, and now Embiid only wants one result-to beat the best team in the league!
Seeing Embiid’s response, Link shook his head.
Tie Hanhan, he won’t look back.
