1123:Closing Enemy (1/5)

Durant and Green taunted Link with a fake cough at the press conference, which was probably the biggest news before the All-Star break.

Although Durant and Green were blamed by everyone, Durant was also pressured to apologize on social media.

But once the beam is knotted, it is not so easy to unravel.

Clearly, Link did what he said he would. Whenever a reporter asks a question about Green and Durant, Link's answer is always mixed with words that start with F and B.

The joke was very distressed by this, and also gave Link a ticket and a warning.

But Link still went his own way and didn't shy away from it. He said he wouldn't respect Durant and Green anymore, and he did it quite thoroughly.

It's not that the joke didn't want to give Link a direct ban, but the superstar who was promoted was banned at the end of the All-Star Game...... It doesn't seem like a word.

As a result, they can only let the contradictions between Link and Durant intensify.

Finally, the arrival of All-Star Weekend eased the matter a little. Everyone's mind also shifted from the conflict between Link and Durant to the All-Star Weekend performance.

After losing to the Warriors, the Grizzlies defeated the Pelicans and Nets in succession, which also calmed the anger of Memphis fans a little.

However, this matter is only over, but it is far from over.

At this year's All-Star Game, even Durant and Westbrook played the emotional card to release their previous suspicions, but Link and Durant still did not deal with each other.

Reporters found that Durant and Link are the only two players on the Western Conference All-Star team who don't say a word to each other at all.

Even in the show-like All-Star Game, Link and Durant were secretly competing. When one of them scores, the other team must also score a goal to give up.

It's as if Link and Durant didn't fight in the same locker room, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

The two had absolutely no idea of reconciling at the All-Star Game.

Although this year's All-Star MVP was finally awarded to the host Anthony who scored 52 points tonight. Davis.

But after the game, it was Durant and Link who were the most discussed.

These two guys are like the modern-day Jordan and Isaiah. Thomas, throughout the player's era, they didn't seem to be able to reconcile.

As soon as the All-Star Game ended, the conflict between Link and Durant was still a hot topic.

In this atmosphere of competition between the two heroes, who can reach the finals this year has also become the biggest attraction in the West.

Of course, no matter how loud the fans are, they can't represent anything.

Who is the master of this alliance has to be ranked by the results.

In the first game of the Warriors after the All-Star break, they easily won the Clippers.

The Clippers can't compete with the Warriors because of Paul's injury.

Curry beat Paul's replacement, Austin, with 35 points and a whopping 60 percent three-point shooting. Rivers.

The next day, the Grizzlies also had their first game after All-Star Weekend.

All fans hope that the Grizzlies and Link can extinguish the arrogance of the Warriors and Durant with a victory.

However, their end was not as good as that of the warriors.

On Feb. 24 in Indianapolis, the Grizzlies suffered a somewhat unexpected loss to the Pacers.

The Pacers have a 29-28 record so far this season, which is not too impressive.

Although because of Paul. George's relationship, the Pacers are still considered a force to be reckoned with. But at this time, they are no longer one of the championship contenders.

However, it was such a team that could only be considered a playoff level and played a perfect game.

Link's performance was as good as ever, and George did everything he could to barely get out to a draw with Link.

But the rest of the Pacers shot from beyond the three-point line today.

In this game, the Pacers shot 46.3% from three-point range, which is undoubtedly far above their average.

The Pacers are averaging just 37.6 percent three-pointers per game this season, and they're not a team that relies on three-pointers to win.

Pacers coach Nate. McMillan, with more emphasis on defense and positional offense.

Therefore, it was possible to defeat the Grizzlies in such a way, even McMillan himself was surprised.

Commentator on the game Pacers legend Reggie. Miller couldn't help but smile and said, "If the Pacers could come up with this kind of shooting percentage every night, they would have been the first in the East long ago." I have to say that luck was on the Pacers' side today. ”

The Grizzlies won only two games after losing to the Warriors and immediately suffered another loss, which many fans did not expect.

So, it's very tough to keep up a winning streak in a long regular season. The game of basketball is full of surprises and variables, and not all the stronger teams will win the game in the end.

Luck is also one of the unexpected factors.

After the game, George hugged Link, an old friend.

Link sincerely blessed George, after all, it was related here, and Link really couldn't get angry.

If a different team wins against the Grizzlies today, Link will hug the Grizzlies in harmony with others.

However, after this unexpected loss, the Grizzlies' record also became 52-6.

There is a little over a month and a half left in the regular season, with a total of 24 games.

If Link wants to set a new record for the regular season, it means that they are only allowed to lose one more game in 24 games in more than a month and a half!

In an instant, breaking the 74-win record became a hell of a difficult thing.

And what's even more worrying is that after the Warriors beat the Clippers yesterday, their record has become 50-8!

Today, the Grizzlies lost again, and the gap between them was further narrowed.

At this point, there are only two wins left between the Warriors and the Grizzlies, and it seems that they may overtake the Grizzlies in the rankings at any time.

Sure enough, as soon as the Grizzlies-Pacers game ended, Warriors fans cheered.

"I said a long time ago that the Warriors would work after the All-Star break, and that's the end of the Grizzlies' time to stay in first place in the West!"

"Like most previous examples, the Grizzlies seemed a little tired after the All-Star break. It seems that the first place in the regular season this season is still the Warriors. ”

"Hahaha, so the Grizzlies won't say anything stupid about regaining the championship. It turns out that no matter how tough the situation is, the Warriors can handle the Grizzlies! ”

For a moment, the Warriors fans were as excited as if they had won the championship.

Being able to get closer to the grizzly bears is something they've been looking forward to for countless days and nights.

The fans were so noisy that Green, who has never been too busy, began to tap on the keyboard.

"Champions are always champions, and we will soon take back what was rightfully theirs."

At the end of the sentence, Green also added a crown emoji.

This tweet has undoubtedly further escalated the smell of gunpowder on both sides.

Anyway, Green is not afraid of fans spraying, so even if there has just been a "cough incident", Green is still tirelessly provoking Link.

It's clear that the Warriors want to regain the top spot in the West after the All-Star break as a way to show their dominance.

In order to achieve this goal, they will only press forward for the remaining month and a half.

The pressure is now all on the Grizzlies and Link's side.

When it's a super team chasing after you, you'll never get peace.

The ranking battle between the two sworn enemies has officially begun!
