The next day, Link's diagnosis was officially announced.

After examination, Link did have a slight concussion. As a result, he will be forced into the league's concussion protection program.

Link will not be able to play until he passes a concussion test arranged by the league. I can't even participate in training.

However, the news did not cause any stir.

Because it is not uncommon for a player to have a minor concussion over the course of a season.

The most famous of these was the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals, when "Big Baby" Glenn. Davis was knocked unconscious by Howard's elbow on the court.

Although he staggered to his feet to join the attack, he took only two steps and almost collapsed as if drunk.

Eventually, the results showed that Davis had a severe concussion at the moment of being elbowed.

Davis is a very serious concussion, and in fact, most players have very mild concussions, which are far less terrible.

The league is to ensure the safety of athletes and avoid trivialities, so they have set up very strict concussion testing.

Kevin. Love had just completed his second concussion test a few days ago, and for most players, a minor concussion is fine, just a few days of rest.

Moreover, the Grizzlies have no big games to play before the Christmas War.

The Grizzlies are now five games away from the Christmas War, and the five games are against the Kings, Jazz, Celtics and Pistons, who have played twice in a row.

While the Jazz and Celtics are both playoff-caliber teams, to be honest, these two games were no pain for the Grizzlies.

So even if Link is absent, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, the day after the game, the most talked about is still the Grizzlies' 25-game winning streak to start the game, and Link's miracle of 50+15+15 in a single game!

His terrible stats have been dubbed "the strongest triple-double in history" by fans!

Even, many current or retired big-name stars have expressed their emotions on their social media.

"I can't imagine what kind of stat this is, all I can say is that what Link did yesterday was as great as the 81 points in a single game!" Bryant, of course, was a loud accomplishment of Link.

As a friend, Kobe Bryant was happy for Link. As a business partner, Link's history-making is certainly good for beverage sales.

And as a father, his daughter's idol can do such a good job, Kobe Bryant is also very pleased.

It can be said that after Link hit the "strongest triple-double in history", Kobe Bryant may be the happiest person in the world except for Grizzlies fans.

In addition to Kobe, "Old Rascal" Michael. Jordan also took it a rare time to be serious when he attended the press conference, "This is a great record, Link has raised the NBA game directly to a higher intensity!" ”

Being able to make Kobe Bryant and Jordan praise themselves at the same time is the ultimate dream of countless people.

Link, however, turns this fantasy into reality.

And with the exception of Link, the current second-hottest man is not Harden, who scored 46 points in the last game and pushed the Grizzlies into a corner.

Draymond. Green has become the most talked about player since Link, and it can really be said that people sit at home and the pot comes from the sky.

Of course, Green's attention has been mostly negative. His social media was completely inundated with the saliva of the fans. The Internet is full of posts and news mocking him.

Before the game, Green shouted the hardest. But after the game, when the Grizzlies really broke the Warriors' longest opening streak, Green didn't say a word.

Today, Green was unusually quiet.

I don't know how many media are holding mobile phones at this time, waiting for the "big-mouthed" Green to stand up and continue to scold Link.

But throughout, Green didn't say anything about the Rockets' game against the Grizzlies.

As Link said, this time, even the "big mouth" had no room to interject.

In front of the opening 25 consecutive wins and the strongest triple-double in history, Green is just thick-skinned, and he can't stand up.

Until the next time the Warriors meet the Grizzlies and complete their revenge, Green can only silently endure the scolding of the fans.

Link is still waiting for Durant to double up, and of course, that could also become a double humiliation for Durant and the Warriors!

While fans are talking about Link, Link, the "protagonist", has a rare opportunity to stay at home.

The league's concussion protection program states that players can't go to training until they pass the test, so Link is the equivalent of a few days off.

However, Link can't be too indulgent these days, if he doesn't rest well and can't pass the test, he will be in big trouble.

It's a pity that Rachel happens to have a work assignment these days. Otherwise, Link will definitely have a more enjoyable time during the unexpected vacation these days.

In Link's absence, the Grizzlies didn't lose out.

On December 15, in Link's first game after his absence, the Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento Kings 96-92 on the road, extending the opening winning streak to 26 games!

In this game, Wade carried the banner of the offensive core. He finished with 26 points, five rebounds and seven assists, turning the Kings upside down.

That's the role of a veteran like Wade, and Link is very relieved to give the game to a player like him

Although the Grizzlies finally lost the next day in back-to-back home games against the Kings, the unbeaten streak since the start of the season was broken.

But no one is upset about this, and fans are very happy with the Grizzlies' current record.

With a 26-1 record, there is still no one in the league to match.

You must know that the current record of the defending champion Warriors is only 23-4. As for the other teams, it's even more incomparable.

After two games, Link also ushered in two good things.

First of all, Rachel finally came home, and they could start making people without shame...... No, it's the beginning of the sweet life.

And the second good thing came from Chief Team Doctor Moon, who officially informed Link to go to the league's concussion test.

If the test passes, Link will be able to make a comeback in no time!

Although he only missed two games, Link felt like his body was about to rust.

On December 17, under the leadership of Moon, Link officially arrived at the site of the concussion test.

At first, Link thought that the concussion test was just a simple computer test. As a result, when he walked into the training hall, Link was dumbfounded.

"Is this a physical fitness test or a concussion test......"

Looking at the pile of equipment and trainers in front of him, Link couldn't help but complain.

"yes, I forgot you don't have experience in this area. So let me give you a brief explanation, there are a total of seven official concussion tests, except for the computer test, the remaining six are physical tests. ”

"What!?" Link swallowed, he was completely unprepared!

"From fixed bike practice, to jogging, to agility tests to non-confrontational team training...... After each of these procedures, it is important to ensure that the symptoms of the concussion do not recur. Finally, the NBA will also ask a neurologist they hire to evaluate you for concussion, and only after getting professional advice will decide whether you can play. You don't have to be nervous, and if you're really okay, the test won't go wrong. ”

Moon patted Link on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort. Link pouted, fortunately Rachel let herself rest early yesterday, otherwise she might have pulled her hips today.

Soon, Link realized the power of the Alliance's concussion test. The requirements of the test are not generally strict and are also very abrasive.

After the warm-up, it's just 30 minutes of cycling and 30 minutes of running, and you can't stop in between! The heart rate should be accelerated to more than 160 per minute, which is said to be a realistic simulation of what an athlete would be like during a competition.

When Link was half exhausted, he had to participate in 30 minutes of one-on-one training non-stop, and he still couldn't stop.

After passing, there is a 30-minute training session for the whole team, and it can't be stopped.

And this is only the first round, and this test has to be repeated for a total of three rounds! After three times, Link didn't show any concussions, and that's it!

After three rounds of testing, Link, who was known for his physical fitness, was exhausted.

If the league allows helmets to play in the future, Link will definitely be the first to support it.

Not afraid of a concussion, but afraid of this concussion test!

Thankfully, after some effort, the experts finally agreed that Link was fit to play and continue playing.

He's finally out of the concussion protection program!

Seeing Link panting on the wooden floor of the training ground, Moon couldn't help but laugh.

Now, finally, there is also an injury that scares Link. From now on, that kid should be a little more restrained.

In the afternoon, the Grizzlies officially announced that Link was coming back for the next day's game against the Jazz.

So people immediately began to discuss whether the truce of the past few days would affect Link's state.

As a result, in the game against the Jazz on December 18, Link just came back with gorgeous statistics of 34 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, and put the Jazz's top card Gordon. Hayward's shooting percentage was limited to a measly 38.5 percent.

Commentating on the game of Hubbi. Brown couldn't help but joke, "If Hayward had known he had to face such a strong opponent, he might have chosen to play esports instead of basketball." ”

With Link's strong play, the Grizzlies easily eliminated the Jazz, who are currently sixth in the West, 103-82.

As it turned out, Link had no problems at all, and his form had not dropped at all compared to before!

Link's return has the Memphis Grizzlies fully armed again.

At this time, all Memphis fans are looking forward to Christmas Eve.

They couldn't wait to see Link trample another monster under their feet.
