Reverse Growth Superstar - 1308
The last time Staples got so much attention was the night of Kobe’s final battle.
That day, the eyes of the world were focused on Staples Center. People watch this game, also to witness history, to witness a legendary superstar put an end to their career.
And this time, people gathered at Staples also to witness history.
33 consecutive victories, this was originally a special achievement achieved by the Lakers, a special team under a special historical background.
But now, nearly 50 years later, in 2020, the Grizzlies have turned this dusty record up.
No one has really seen how a team that can achieve 30+ consecutive victories plays, including a large number of Lakers fans!
There are only a handful of fans who really watched the game from the 70s.
Therefore, no one wants to miss this opportunity to witness history. At least in the future, the record of 33 consecutive victories will be more than just a number for everyone.
While the whole world was discussing the battle of the century on February 2, Link and his teammates were sitting on the plane heading to Los Angeles.
Most people are already asleep, and the battle with the Bucks tonight is really exhausting everyone.
The strength of the Bucks is indeed very strong. With full play, they have lost five games more than the Grizzlies, who have won 32 consecutive victories.
Solve the Bucks easily? Link has never had such a fluke.
But looking at the exhausted teammates around, Link was still a little worried.
I don’t know if tomorrow, everyone’s condition will be as good as before.
Tired races and long-distance attacks are what everyone hates most.
Although everyone on the Grizzlies, like Link, hopes to leave their names on this historical record. But psychological exhaustion can be overcome, but physical exhaustion cannot be eliminated.
Don’t talk about other people, even Link feels exhausted now.
He just wanted to stay in his seat and didn’t bother to stand up.
Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Link sighed.
I really want to rest.
Ten years ago, Link felt that he had never stopped. Even the first honeymoon with Rachel was a hurried shrinking honeymoon.
Training, competition, training, competition seem to fill his life, repeating every day.
Of course, Link could live a little more chic. Go to nightclubs to spend money like dirt, on shows, enter the entertainment industry, etc.
But if he did that, he might not be in his current position.
During the season, my every move is always watched by all kinds of people.
The king status of the Grizzlies is always something someone wants to shake.
Link can stop? Really can’t.
I really want to rest
“Huh~” After taking a deep breath, Link relaxed his body.
Although it is very hard, it is all worthwhile. 10 years ago, who would have thought that a loser could actually match the gods?
These achievements make Link feel more fulfilled than just having fun.
Also, this is the last year.
Gritting your teeth, you don’t have to work so hard anymore.
There is a lot of rest time, but there is only one opportunity to create greatness!
Link looked at the tired teammates around him, and smiled slightly.
Everyone is fighting like this. As their leader, you can’t let everyone’s efforts in vain.
Others will follow you to fight the world with all their might, so you can’t get any feedback.
Tomorrow, Link will win the game anyway.
At the beginning of the season, Link scored 61 points under Staples, becoming the first player to score 60 points on the Lakers after Arenas.
If you need it tomorrow, Link doesn’t mind doing it again.
Thinking about it, Link felt his eyelids become heavy.
The short quiet night is a rare respite for the players.

“Karl Malone, one of the NBA’s top 50 stars, ranked second in the history of scoring, ranked sixth in the history of rebounds, two regular season MVPs, selected the best team for 11 consecutive years, and was selected to the All-Star team 14 times. There is no doubt that, He is a superstar. He has all the honors he can get, but there is no championship. The reason is simple, he can’t bring down Michael Jordan. Do you know what I want to say, right? LeBron is Karl Malone Link is Jordan. LeBron is great, but he can’t stop Link from being great.”
“The 33-game winning streak is unstoppable. Do you think the Grizzlies will easily give up the chance to break the record? Even if it is the last drop of sweat, the Memphis will not give up.”
“We all know that LeBron wants to beat Link all his life. But tomorrow, I am not optimistic about the Lakers at all. They are very strong, they are the best team in the West except for the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, they can only Under the grizzly bear.”
LeBron James is standing on the balcony of his mansion, watching all kinds of public opinions on social media, it is quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Yes, no matter how great Karl Malone is, the 90s are also the era of Michael Jordan.
People will work tirelessly to shoot documentaries for Michael Jordan, praise him for his great achievements, and praise his career.
But what about Karl Malone? He seemed to just approve the shell of a superstar.
James is indeed a bit like Karl Malone, the only luckier than Malone is that he at least has a ring.
Thinking of this, James shook his head with a wry smile.
He turned up an old photo, in this photo, he is still wearing the Heat No. 6 jersey. In this photo, Link’s face is still slightly green.
In this photo, Link is raising his arms up to the sky and screaming, while James is kneeling on one knee across the center line.
A line separates winners and losers, heaven and hell.
This photo was taken in the 2014 finals, 6 years ago.
But James kept it, and took it out from time to time.
He used this photo to remind himself that defeating Link is the biggest wish in his heart.
Even, it has become his obsession to this day!
He didn’t want to be Karl Malone, he lived in the shadow of Michael Jordan all his life.
Tomorrow, Link and the Grizzlies are about to come to Staples, and James now feels as if he is standing next to the city.
The guys in the dark blue jerseys are about to rush into his “castle” to steal the Lakers’ 33-game winning streak.
Actually, James doesn’t care about the 33-game winning streak.
The Lakers 50 years ago have almost nothing to do with the current Lakers except for the team name~www.mtlnovel.com~ James has no sense of mission like “guarding team honor”.
After all, he has only come to the Lakers for a season and a half. To be honest, he can’t talk about feelings for this team.
He just simply doesn’t want to lose to Link.
So far this season, the Lakers have played against the Grizzlies three times, the Lakers 1-2 losses. In one of them, Link scored 61 points!
The next game is the Lakers’ chance to equalize the “total score”. If Link really scored 33 consecutive victories on his head, then he wouldn’t even think about turning over in his life.
In his entire life, he will live with the title of “Link’s worst enemy”, not the biggest winner.
James took a deep breath, and people said he came to Los Angeles to prepare for retirement.
James admitted that there are indeed reasons for this, but he still cares about victory!
He relaxed and returned to the room, ready to recharge his energy.
Link and James, the magical fate, let them meet again at this historical node.
Los Angeles tonight is very peaceful, but everyone knows that this is just a precursor to a **** battle.
Both men have reasons not to lose, but there is always only one winner.
In the world of competitive sports, there has never been a win-win situation.
It’s late at night, which also means that the brief calm is about to end.
