738:Collapse of the unpopular (4th shift)

Zack. Randolph's grinning photo appeared on the front page of the websites of major news portals the next day.

Of course, his sentence "Whether it's betting or playing, Link is first-class" also made people reverie.

What did Randolph, who used to be a mixed society in Portland, lose to say such things?

For a time, various urban legends about Link emerged one after another.

"Link won 50,000 in the game! Randolph lost to tears! ”

"Jordan II? Link went so far as to get the Grizzly Bear to lift the ban on gambling on the plane. ”

"Do great football players gamble?"

Looking at this lace news, Link wanted to cry without tears. He just made a bet casually so as not to spoil everyone's interest, who knew that it would really break out such a big upset.

Link later watched that game out of curiosity, and Wiggins and Embiid's play was a disaster.

First of all, the score of 57-60 is very low. Of course, Link knows that the NCAA is not the same as the NBA, so he can't measure the NCAA by the NBA's scoring standards.

But the 57 points in the game, even in the NCAA, is a low score.

In addition, Wiggins' performance of only scoring 4 points on 1-of-7 shooting is really humiliating as a top candidate.

You know, in the eyes of people now, the 2014 draft is compared to the 1996 and 2003 drafts. It is widely believed that 2014 will be the year of another golden generation.

As the most high-profile player in this "golden generation", Wiggins only scored once in the whole game, and he almost disappeared at key moments. Link really suspects that this guy's habit of maintaining health has been developed in college.

As for Embiid, the other person, he left the court early because of a back injury, and it is understandable that he did not play well. Link estimates that if it weren't for injury, Embiid wouldn't have fallen to the third pick.

After watching this game, Link could only shake his head helplessly. What else could he say? It's all fate!

When the momentum is high, you can't lose if you want to!

His title of "gambling addiction" is now solid.

Link really can't figure out when his image has developed into a villain and is irretrievable. When people think you're a villain, even if you don't do evil, you'll go deeper and deeper into the villain's pit. He obviously didn't do anything, but in the outside world, he became "a big gambler who tamed Randolph".

The NCAA upset still caused a lot of buzz in the basketball world, and even after the game was over, people still talked about it.

As it turns out, basketball games cannot be accurately predicted. Even if two teams look very different in quality, the outcome of the game is likely to be completely different from what you imagined.

Therefore, those fans who don't want to see the Grizzlies break their 72-win record are also hoping that a certain team can put on a real upset in the NBA.

Now that the Grizzlies' hopes of not reaching 72 wins are dashed, they can only hope for an upset.

But Link is not Wiggins, and he will never allow himself to suddenly become invisible when the team needs it.

On March 26, the Utah Jazz narrowly missed becoming the NBA's Stanford. Before the game began, no one had any hope for the Jazz. With a previous record of just 23 wins and 48 losses, they are one of the weakest teams in the West. They are compared to the invincible grizzly bear, like an elephant compared to an ant.

However, the Jazz gave the defending champions a hard time in this game.

It's not just one person playing well, it's everyone playing really well.

Favors shot 10-of-16 and efficiently put down 22 points and 10 rebounds, making the smile on Randolph's face disappear again.

Hayward also had 18 points, and Link was not inadequate defensively against him, but the white small forward from Butler University showed his talent.

In addition to that, N'Golo Kante, Trey. Burke and Richard. Jefferson also scored in double figures, and the Jazz even maintained the lead from the fourth to the tenth minute of the third quarter.

Later, it was the rebounding ball in the front court that changed the fate of the game.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies seized a second offensive opportunity. Link used his terrifying bounce ability to frequently pluck rebounds from Kante and Favors, and Randolph also showed his extremely keen nose for rebounding.

In the final quarter, the Grizzlies grabbed a full 5 frontcourt rebounds and fought hard to get 5 secondary offensive opportunities.

With these crucial secondary offenses, the Grizzlies were able to turn the tide. In the end, the Jazz were defeated in a thrilling 107-99.

"Although the Grizzlies won the game, I believe that Grizzlies fans must have been shocked into a cold sweat!"

The moment the game ended, Hubi. Brown said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He couldn't imagine what the game would have been like without those five frontcourt rebounds.

Since Kansas' upset loss to Stanford, the word "underdog" seems to have become the main theme of this time.

And today, the Jazz have undoubtedly shown people the possibility of an upset happening to the Grizzlies.

The 72-win record, which was already destined to be broken, instantly became confusing again.

Now, Link knows first-hand how hard it is to get 72 wins in a single season!

Because Link had a season with 73 wins for the Warriors, he hasn't felt like a particularly remarkable record since then.

Especially after the Grizzlies got 70 wins last season, it seems that 72 wins are just two more wins.

But when it was actually implemented, Link found that it was not easy to win these 2 more games. Now the Grizzlies only have four games to lose, and in the next 11 games, God knows what else will happen.

There are many things that can only be deeply experienced after personally participating in them.

However, Link didn't feel pressured by this, he just told himself, "You have to focus on every game, every opponent!" ”

He takes tens of millions of dollars a year from the Grizzlies, but he doesn't complain about the pressure.

Compared to the development league when even eating was a problem, and you had to go to your teammates' houses to eat and drink, these are not pressures at all now.

When Link encounters a problem, he will first think of a solution to the problem, rather than complaining.

But others don't know that, according to ESPN's analysis, "the Grizzlies have very high ratings every game, but I bet half of the people watch Grizzlies games to see the Grizzlies lose!" ”

People began to look forward more and more to the emergence of the underdog. A group of "experts" led by Simmons also believe that the pressure from Link and the rest of the Grizzlies will start to show. And this pressure will eventually lead to the emergence of unpopularity.

What awaits them is a series of amazing performances.

Playing the Warriors on March 28, even though Curry shot from beyond the three-point line, the Warriors still lost by 7 points. Because Link scored 40 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in the whole game, which overshadowed Curry's 5 three-pointers. The Warriors wanted to create an upset, but were stopped by Link himself.

On March 30, the gritty Trail Blazers faced the Grizzlies for the last time in the regular season this season. The Trail Blazers have won five in a row since their last loss to the Grizzlies. Lillard and Aldridge are getting better, and they're starting to appear more and more in the "Best Duo" inventory.

Today at the Federal Express Arena, the two partners, one inside and one outside, also played well. They combined for 50 points, and Lillard also saved the game with unreasonable three-pointers at critical moments on several occasions.

But it didn't work, Link got his eighth triple-double of the season today, with 33 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists. It's worth mentioning that Link's seventh triple-double of the season was exactly what he got on the Trail Blazers in the last game......

It's been a while since Kansas lost to Stanford, and people have noticed that the upset seems to be getting farther and farther away from the Grizzlies.

No. 31 played the Nuggets, Link scored 30 points and contributed a 5.2-second three-point shot. The Nuggets also almost created an upset, but were choked by Link's sword.

Against the Timberwolves on April 2, Link scored 25 points but handed out 12 assists, and his performance was still explosive.

No. 4 played against the Nuggets again, Link did not give the opponent another chance, scoring 32 points in the game, and the Nuggets lost completely by 11 points.

No. 6 played the Spurs, and Popovich racked his brains and couldn't find a way to contain Link. With 34 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, no one will be surprised when Link cuts this statistic again.

Since the Jazz almost toppled the Grizzlies, Link has been like pulling a grenade from the insurance and blowing up a big hole in the league!

In 7 games, Link averaged 31.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game! He used his own strength to completely blow up the "cold door".

And after the Grizzlies won against the Spurs, Dwayne. Wade's worst fears also came.

After the Grizzlies won against the Spurs, it means that Link has broken last season's 70-win record and got his 71st win of the season!

The next game of the Grizzlies will fight the Heat, and this will be the moment to witness history!

The Miami Heat just hit the hurdle of 72 wins.

If the Grizzlies can defeat the Big Three and get 72 wins, the gold content is too high.

Wade knew that Link would not pass up such an opportunity.
