1096: Double Bong is coming
Link couldn't have imagined that one day he would be in Nick. Yang suffered.
In the past, when I worked with "Yang Shaoxia", it was a grizzly bear who pumped others to death.
Today, the Grizzlies are being beaten by Nick. Yang was pumped to death.
When Nick. After Young hit a pull-up jumper from beyond the three-point line in the transition offense, he has already made six three-pointers in this game!
6-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, shooting a whopping 54.5%!
"Nick. Young made another three-pointer, and he's hit five three-pointers in three straight games, breaking the Lakers' all-time record! ”
The scene, commentators and fans were boiling. Nick. Yang laughed as he became the brightest player in the basketball mecca of Staples today.
Breaking the all-time record of a team with a long history like the Lakers is also full of gold.
"!" Link scolded reluctantly, Nick. Yang is too accurate today.
Then, Link looked up at the big screen again.
With only 30 seconds left in the game, the Grizzlies were in the middle of the game. Young's three-pointer trailed by eight points.
It has to be said that the situation is already very difficult for the Grizzlies.
However, Link hasn't given up yet, and he's still looking for a chance to win.
After that, Link first scored a response shot from beyond three points. Then, he steals Russell, who is not dry, on the defensive end, and makes a three-point shot in the transition attack.
It's a pity that the time is still not enough. In the end, the Grizzlies could only carry a 2-point disadvantage and unfortunately swallow the defeat.
The Lakers fans cheered hard, and the young Lakers players were as excited as if they had won the championship.
The last time Lowe was on fire and couldn't beat the Grizzlies, this time Nick. Yang did it.
The Lakers, who currently have a 13-25 record, have unexpectedly become the only team in the league to have beaten the Grizzlies and Warriors this season.
Link shook his head, Kobe Bryant doesn't lie to me.
The Lakers' state today is shockingly good. If only Nick. Young shot 6-of-11 from beyond the three-point line, and Link could still handle it.
But in fact, the Lakers today are not just Nick. Yang alone has played a role, but almost everyone has played at a super level of efficiency.
The Lakers had a total of six players score in double figures today, and the team shot 55.2% from the field.
With this kind of efficiency, everyone has to lose.
In the first game of 2017, the Grizzlies were unfavorable. Link was very depressed, and he had just set a great goal, but he was hit in the face, which was quite unhappy.
So, Fg can't stand up.
The loss to the Lakers made the whole team very depressed, and as a result, it was not the end of the Grizzlies' suffering.
The next day, in back-to-back games against the Clippers, the Grizzlies unexpectedly lost again at Staples!
"It was here yesterday, facing the Lakers, facing the amazing efficiency of those young people, and the Grizzlies fell to the ground. But today is different, if the Grizzlies lose today, you can't blame the Clippers for being too accurate, you can only blame the Grizzlies themselves for being too inaccurate. ”
The on-site commentators all shook their heads, and the Grizzlies were collectively dumb outside the three-point line today. Except for Link, everyone else's shooting packets seem to have been forgotten in the hotel room.
The Grizzlies players had a terrible hand today, not because they were underweight or too tired. Feel this thing, sometimes it will fall into a low ebb inexplicably.
Why is it so hard to win 70+ games in the NBA? It's because there are too many factors of chance in basketball.
Teams with stronger rosters on paper are also likely to lose for a variety of reasons. For example, it feels terrible in the hand.
If a team with a strong roster on paper could win all the games, the Warriors would have reached an 82-game winning streak last season.
Not to mention the "Galaxy Battleship" warriors, even the bulls who were in full swing in the 90s also had the experience of being upset. Even Jordan occasionally had a few games where he felt cold and didn't perform well.
And this serendipity is precisely one of the charms of competitive sports. Without this serendipity, the game of basketball would not be dramatic. Without the drama, the game wouldn't be full of unknowns.
If you want to win 70+ games, in addition to being strong enough, you also need to have the ability to minimize the probability of accidental events.
But obviously, in the two games in Staples, the Grizzlies were very unlucky.
Link created a number of three-point shots for his teammates today, but most of them missed.
Seeing this, Doug. Rivers simply waved his hand and motioned for everyone to shrink to the basket and wait for Link!
Since the Grizzlies couldn't shoot from beyond the three-point line today, block the basket and block their only way to score.
As a result, Link often has to face blocks from three or even four Clippers players after breaking through.
Although Link is strong, he has not yet exceeded the limits of human beings, and he cannot go to heaven and earth like Superman.
In the face of so many people, it was also difficult for him to score consecutive points.
In the end, the Clippers handed the Grizzlies a two-game losing streak at Staples. The Grizzlies shot just 18.4 percent from three-point range today, compared to 40.1 percent for the Clippers. This is also the first time this season that the Grizzlies have experienced a losing streak.
Los Angeles and Staples seem to have become the graves of grizzly bears. They ravaged the League for so long, and finally at the beginning of the new year, they ended up in the precipitous place of Los Angeles.
When the electronic beep sounded, Link shook his head vigorously with his waist crossed.
He had 36 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists today, and he did his best. It can still bombard nearly 40 points with three or four people surrounded, which has shocked the on-site commentators and Rivers.
Link doesn't blame his teammates either, and although they missed from beyond the three-point line, it was clear that they were also working very hard and focused.
It's just very unfortunate that I can't shoot.
It stands to reason that this kind of loss is normal in the regular season, and after two consecutive losses, the Grizzlies' 33-4 record is still better than the Warriors' 31-5.
But after just setting his career goals, he suffered two consecutive defeats, and Link was still very unhappy.
He gritted his teeth, wishing that at this point, like playing a game, there would be an option to "start over".
But unfortunately, the NBA in the real world can't be re-read.
If you lose, you must bear the consequences of losing.
Link sighed and walked into the players' tunnel.
After two consecutive defeats, I just hope that everyone can bottom out in the next game.
But when it comes to the Grizzlies' next opponent after two straight road trips in Los Angeles...... Well, Link won't allow the team to lose to them anyway.
※※※
"Link, the Grizzlies' two-day trip to Los Angeles must have made you very depressed."
After the game, the reporters at the press conference were not too provocative, they were all asking some regular questions.
Now there are fewer and fewer reporters who dare to provoke Link to his face.
"It's a shame that we didn't get a win away from here. But I'm sure with our quality we can recover quickly and I'm looking forward to our first win in 2017. ”
Link was also very calm when answering questions. A true superstar doesn't jump to his feet as soon as he loses.
"But, the next game ......"
"I know who's going to be playing against us in the next game, and to be honest, I'm looking forward to Kevin. Durant's double return, I've been looking forward to it since he said it. Let's see what KD does at Oracle Arena. ”
Link didn't wait for the reporter to finish asking and directly "rushed to answer", and the originally calm reporters instantly whispered.
Sure enough, the atmosphere before the war was always tense.
In their next game, on January 6, the Grizzlies will kick off Oakland for their third consecutive road trip against last season's defending champions, the Golden State Warriors!
After a month and a day, the league's most exciting battle is about to be staged for the second time.
As we all know, Kevin. Durant had previously said that he would double down on the Grizzlies after losing to the Grizzlies.
The fans are about to witness how to return the law.
Meanwhile, in Oracle Arena, the Warriors took down the Trail Blazers without a fight.
Although McCollum and Lillard scored 35 and 27 points, respectively, it didn't help.
At this point, there is only one win between the Grizzlies and the Warriors!
After the game, Durant looked impatient, "We've let the Grizzlies lead for too long, and from now on, we're going to catch up!" The first step is to oust them from the first position in the West. A two-game losing streak isn't a big deal, as the Grizzlies will soon experience a third losing streak. Double the return, look at it! ”
KD frowned, he was fed up with being trampled under Link's feet again.
