659: I'm not retiring (4/5)
When Link put on his mask and was ready to warm up, the whole locker room was dumbfounded.
Zack. Randolph's eyes widened, and he walked over to Link, stared at his mask, and said slowly, "You're a talent!" ”
Link smirked, a little surprised when he had just retrieved the mask from Rachel at noon today. Sure enough, it's different to have a girl next to you. A woman's delicate mind can always solve some things that men can't solve.
The group of big men only thought about preparing a custom mask for Link, but they didn't think about how to cover Link's wounds while the mask was transparent.
And Rachel found a perfect solution.
At this time, on Link's mask, the location of Link's wound, was affixed with a sticker of the Grizzlies logo.
The sticker is just the right size to cover Link's wound without blocking Link's view.
It's aesthetically pleasing, but it doesn't break the rules of the league. After all, the alliance only stipulates that masks of other colors are not allowed, and there is no rule that stickers cannot be applied to transparent masks.
"Huh? There is a small letter R next to the team logo. Randolph looked at it and saw something annoying.
Underneath the Grizzlies logo sticker, there is also a very small pink "R" letter.
That's probably the most satisfying part of Rachel, without a doubt. However, because this letter is very small, it is not easy to read if you don't pay attention to it.
"Okay, okay, it's all about you! If you want to wear a mask, let the team do it for you! Don't keep beating me up about the mask. Link waved his hand, dispersing Randolph.
Randolph patted his head and touched his chin, no!
Then, suddenly, a name popped into Randolph's head.
"Pink R...... It's hard to do it, on behalf of Rachel. Demita? As soon as Randolph said this, the whole locker room immediately began to commit.
While everyone is an adult, sometimes the Grizzlies' locker room is childish like a high school student's classroom.
When she won the championship last season, Rachel went to the players' nightclub party with Link. At that time, everyone knew that Link and Rachel had a bad relationship, after all, where would players invite reporters to participate in this kind of event.
It's just that Randolph didn't expect that these two bastards showed their affection on the basketball court.
"Tut-tut, Link, you guy, you have to think about the single colleagues on the team. Right? Harris. ”
Tobias. Harris gave Randolph a blank look, what's wrong with being single? At least the dog food tube is full!
"Okay, okay, I'm wearing a mask and you're talking so much. Prepare well for the game, Zach, if we can't win 12 in a row, it's useless for us to wear helmets. Link stood up and staggered twice.
Then, wearing a custom mask from structure to styling, he led the Grizzlies players onto the court.
The Golden State Warriors will definitely have a very depressed day today.
※※※
There's not much to say about the Grizzlies-Warriors game, and it's the same as the first meeting between the two sides.
On the contrary, Link's handsome transparent mask has become the focus of attention.
"I don't know how Link came up with this idea, but I'm sure after this game, there will be another frenzy of fans putting stickers on transparent masks."
On the commentary stage, even the narrator was talking about Link's mask.
Although it was only two small stickers glued, it was not difficult. But sometimes, simple moves often lead to unexpected results.
The on-site photographer gave Link a close-up of his face again and again, and the operation of the mask + team sticker will definitely be popular across the league in the future.
And the game itself, compared to Link's mask, is much more boring. Curry is out with an injury today, and the Warriors can't even come up with a pure point guard. Harris. Barnes and Clay. Thompson's defensive line is clearly not playful.
So today, the Warriors' offense was a mess. A lot of the time, it's a solo work after falling into a single.
The game lost suspense at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and after Link, wearing a special mask, cut a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds, he hung up the waiver card and sat on the bench to wait for the game to be over.
In the end, the Warriors, who had an incomplete lineup, scored only 81 points in the game. It's almost 2014, and only 81 points in a single game are too low.
Thompson was the Warriors' best performer, scoring 21 points but shooting just 2-of-7 from three-point range.
Australian champion Bogut had a double-double of 12 points and 14 rebounds, but he couldn't help his team win the game.
Of course, Bogut was not reconciled. He has never liked Link's flamboyant style, so even if he loses, he still doesn't forget to spray his opponent.
After the game, Bogut taunted Link's bells and whistles mask to look like a little girl's ornament, and a serious man wouldn't use that kind of ridiculous thing.
Link responded, "Losers always like to divert their goals to cover up the fact that they are losing." What kind of behavior is this? acts! ”
Link responded without mercy, there was no need to show mercy to a rotten person like Bogut.
Bogut was speechless in the face of Link's response. What else could he say? If the Warriors win the game, that's good to say.
But the key point is that the score of this game is 102-81, with the visitors in front and the home team behind.
When you're faced with a loss that is more than 20 points apart, anything you say will pale in comparison.
So, even though Bogut wanted to act very tough, no one paid attention to him at all.
The brutal fact is that Bogut's coffee and Link are not on the same level at all.
Link Ninken and Bill. Simmons continued to mess around, not wanting to waste saliva on Bogut.
People are now more concerned about the Grizzlies' opening winning streak than Bogut.
After the game against the Warriors, the Grizzlies have started the new season with 12 straight wins. And the longest opening streak in NBA history was set by the Washington Capitol and the Houston Rockets for the opening 15 consecutive wins!
The Washington Congressional team may be unfamiliar to many people. It was one of 11 teams in the NBA's inception, but it disbanded just five years later. Moreover, the record of the Capitol team took place in the 48-49 season, which is too ancient to have any reference value.
Therefore, the record of the longest opening winning streak in the NBA is recognized as belonging to the Houston Rockets.
In the 93-94 season, because of Jordan's retirement, the league immediately entered an era of division of the league. And the biggest winners in this ephemeral era are undoubtedly Olajuwon and the Rockets.
In the 93-94 season, under the leadership of legendary center Olajuwon, the Rockets started the season with a record of 15 consecutive wins. In the end, everyone also knew that the Rockets won the championship.
And the record of 15 consecutive wins in the opening game has also been held by the Houston Rockets to this day.
Now, the Grizzlies are on a 12-game winning streak. They are just three games away from tying that great winning streak.
In three games, the Grizzlies' opponents were the Suns, the Celtics, and the Houston Rockets, the team that holds this record!
If the Grizzlies can take out the Suns and Celtics smoothly, then the Rockets will personally guard this great record!
I don't know if the league had expected this when the schedule was arranged. Otherwise, the Grizzlies may have won 15 consecutive games at the beginning of the game, which happened to meet the Rockets, the creator of the opening 15 consecutive wins, which is too coincidental.
Rockets and Link, this is a topic that never goes out of style. And now, there is undoubtedly a new topic between the two sides.
The old thing that Link was abandoned is not mentioned, and it is said that last season, the Rockets also had a bad luck with the Grizzlies. Not only were they abused to death by the Grizzlies in the regular season, but General Manager Morey also resigned because of the conflict with Link, which caused too much pressure on public opinion and was overwhelmed.
This season, we met at the juncture of a 15-game winning streak, which is really a narrow road.
Even putting aside these minor factors, the Rockets formed the "Morden Combination" of Harden and Howard this season, which also made the Rockets the most high-profile team in the West. Their match against the Grizzlies is naturally very exciting.
Link hasn't said anything about the 15-game winning streak, but Howard in Space City can't hold it anymore.
"In the past, the Rockets may have suffered a lot against the Grizzlies. But now, we're different. Let them try, I will try my best to protect the honor that Da Meng led the team to win back then! Of course, the Grizzlies had better not lose the game early, hahahaha. ”
Howard, who has become extremely arrogant and arrogant since leaving the Demon, took the lead in provoking Link.
He seems to really think that after joining the Rockets, who have a tradition of center, he will inherit the mantle of Olajuwon and can compete for the championship.
The truth is that Olajuwon finally reached the top during Jordan's two years of absence. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether Olajuwon has a chance to win the championship under Jordan.
But now, Link isn't retiring. His rule over the Alliance is not over.
Sit down, it's not your turn yet.
