On Nov. 24, the Atlanta Hawks host the Los Angeles Clippers, who have Paul and Griffin.

In this game, Griffin and Paul scored 22 and 19 points respectively, which can be described as a good performance. But in the end, the Clippers still lost the matchup with the Hawks by 11 points.

Among them, Al. Horford has played an important role in the playmaking and defense on the inside. Jeff. Teague was not afraid of Paul's 19 points and 11 assists, which was also the reason why the Clippers "overturned".

But the main thing is that Josh. Smith scored 30 points in the game and shot 60.5 percent from the field. 30 points, which is also Josh. Smith's highest scoring score of any season.

Josh's 30 points is actually not very impressive, but because of Link's comments on Josh's social media, that number has become extremely hot now.

"Link threatens to fight in Josh. Smith scored 30 points on his head, so let's look forward to this game! ”

"Josh fights Link, Link fights bravely! Grizzlies vs Clippers on December 4th, stay tuned! ”

Josh. Smith: "There's no way he's going to score 30 points on my head, and no one has scored that many points on my head this season. If he really was that strong, they wouldn't have lost to the Spurs. ”

Link didn't expect that a casual reply would make a game extremely hot. It seems that he still has some influence in the alliance now.

However, Link didn't want to talk too much, and he used a roundabout tactic in the face of interviews with reporters, "I just asked him what the record is for the highest scoring record this season, but I didn't say that I was going to score that many points." Of course, I'm focusing on the team's victory, not the personal data, and I hope you don't misinterpret what I mean. ”

"Fuck, I believe you're a ghost!" Josh. Smith was angry when he saw Link answering the reporter.

"It's crazy, I think I have to teach him some lessons." Next to Josh, Georgian center Zaza. Pachulia shook her head as well. Isn't it just the best of the month, why the ass is up to the sky.

They seem to have forgotten that they were the ones who made the first provocation. It's just that they were surprised that this month's best player was really on the same page with them.

On the morning of the Dec. 8 game, countless local Atlanta media rushed to Memphis. Obviously, an otherwise mediocre game was stunned because of the "keyboard battle" between Link and Josh, two small forwards, on social media, which became lively.

"We've arrived in Memphis and are about to witness tonight's collision between Josh and Link! As the inductee for the 09-10 Defensive Second Team of the Season, Josh Brown was named to the All-Defensive Second Team of the Season. Smith's defense has been his strength. So, he's definitely going to put Link on passive! ”

"Josh. Smith is the best small forward in the league besides James. Link has to pay attention to his back when he hits the basket today! ”

The Hawks and Grizzlies, two teams that couldn't play together, now seem to be mortal enemies.

At the Federal Express Arena in the evening, Memphis fans were not to be outdone. When Josh. As Smith entered, fans in the stands on either side of the tunnel booed him.

"Link is already an All-Star starter, and you're nothing!"

"We have the best record in the league, and you can't even rank in the East!"

"Don't worry, Link will be able to end your pain in just three sections!"

Josh. Smith clenched his fists and raged. As soon as he stepped onto the court, Josh noticed that Link was staring at him.

Tonight, the two of them are facing each other directly, and the battle is destined to be very fierce.

In the NBA, some things don't just happen with a keyboard. Everyone looks up and doesn't look down, and the keyboard that has been typed will have to be found on the basketball court sooner or later.

Josh now has no way back, and the words have been released. The only thing he can do is beat that Western Conference Player of the Month!

From the keyboard to the pitch, that's the rule of the league.

It's not the first time in the NBA that the two sides have been spraying off the court and then going head-to-head on the court.

On the Internet, no matter how much you scold, no one will stop you. But on the pitch, there's only one thing to look for – hard power.

If you win, you will be ruthless, and if you don't win, you will get out of the house with your tail between your legs. Competitive sports, on the contrary, have become more pure.

Although Link has been very hot this season, Josh is still full of confidence. After all, he is not a simple player per se.

In 2004, he was the 17th pick in the first round, which seemed to be unremarkable, and he didn't even enter the lotto. But you have to know that Josh was in the draft as a high school student that year!

By the time they were in high school, Josh and Howard were already famous all over the United States. As a high school student, they have already appeared in the promotional poster of Adidas. At the same time, Josh also has a good brother from high school who chose to go to college, and he is now the Celtics' leading point guard, Rajan. Rondo.

The guy who has been mixed with the two superstars in the league since high school is naturally not too bad.

The Hawks have not missed the playoffs since they returned to the playoffs in 2008. Among them, Josh. Smith is indebted.

Fans say that Josh is "the strongest player outside the All-Star" and that "LeBron. James", "If James only plays with his body, it would probably be Josh. Smith like that."

These words seem to be a joke, but in fact they are also an acknowledgment of Josh's strength. After all, not all players can be compared to James.

Josh knows exactly what he can do, maybe he doesn't have as many scoring tools as Link, but he's on the defensive end, and he's going to make Link suffer!

The scolding battle between Josh and Link became the biggest attraction of the game. But when the young coach Stevens made the final deployment, he reminded everyone, "Forget the media hype, we have to see the essence of the game." ”

"The Eagles have won seven in a row lately and they are unstoppable! I'm sure it's not just Josh. Smith is a credit alone. Jeff. Teague, Kyle. Korver, Louis. Williams and Al. Horford and others are also very strong. I need you to attack and defend according to the plan, and don't get out of the way! ”

Link nodded, he hadn't wanted to go head-to-head with Josh in the first place. Again, the team's victory is the most important thing.

But if you can convince Josh in a win, it would be great.

At 7:50 p.m., the starting five tigers of both sides officially stepped onto the court. The Federal Express Arena is agitated, and the TV shows a close-up of Josh and Link.

Josh's height of 2.06 meters combined with a weight of nearly 110 kilograms makes him look incredibly burly. In terms of size, Josh definitely has the advantage.

But Link is not afraid, he has won all the real James, and will he be afraid of a "weakened" version of James?

Before the game began, only Horford, Korver and Teague were the only Hawks starters to high-five the Grizzlies players. Josh and Pachulia had hostility written on their faces.

Link didn't make a bad face, and he also high-fived and hugged the rest of the Eagles. Especially Horford, when he was still a fan before he crossed over, Link admired him. But Josh and Pachulia remained indifferent, not only ignoring Link, but also the rest of the Grizzlies.

These two goods are simply too individual.

Suddenly, the smell of gunpowder became much stronger.

In this gunpowder-filled atmosphere, Mark. Gasol used his height advantage to get the first shot for the Grizzlies.

The crowd cheered desperately, wishing that Link would deduct Josh as soon as he came up.

However, it wasn't Link who scored first, it was Gasol Jr. who scored first.

In the face of Pachuria's defence, Gasol Jr. easily scored the ball with a hook hand. Pachulia didn't seem to expect Gasol to shoot directly, so the interference was half a beat slower. And just like that, the Grizzlies got off to a good start.

Link applauded his teammate and then reflexively returned to defend. I didn't even know I could touch the ball. Smith's trash talk came first.

"No matter how you dodge, you can't dodge, I'll take care of you like I did with the first seven opponents."

After that, the Eagles attacked the half, and Jeff. Teague passes the ball to Josh. Smith.
