1124: Not an easy opponent (2/5)

After the All-Star break, the Warriors and Grizzlies seemed to have reversed their momentum.

Although the Warriors are still two wins away from catching up with the Grizzlies, at this time, their players and fans are arrogant as if they have already won the first place in the West.

Clearly, the Grizzlies' two losses in February gave the Warriors a lot of confidence.

After a devastating streak, the Grizzlies' two losses gave the Warriors hope.

As it turns out, even a team as strong as the Memphis Grizzlies can't win from start to finish.

When they miss, it's the Warriors' chance to overtake!

At this time, the warrior is like a hunter lurking in the jungle, and if the grizzly bear is distracted at all, he will be killed by one blow!

After the loss to the Pacers, a lot of people were worried about the Grizzlies. To be honest, even Link was a little uneasy.

But Link didn't bring these negative emotions to the court, and the next day on the training ground, he encouraged his team-mates.

As a player, you have the right to be frustrated, but as a team leader, you can never expose your worries and frustrations.

If even the team leader panics, then the military spirit of the whole team will not be so strong.

With Link to stabilize the team's morale, the Grizzlies didn't look particularly depressed after the loss to the Pacers.

On the contrary, everyone is gearing up and can't wait to win the next game to stop the loss.

At this juncture, the news that the Warriors continue to win has swept all sports news sites.

"112-95, the Brooklyn Nets are no match for the defending champions."

"The Warriors are one step closer to the No. 1 spot in the West, and the pressure on the Grizzlies must be very high right now."

"The Warriors won first, and that would definitely put a lot of pressure and distress on the Grizzlies. We don't know if the grizzlies will be able to withstand such high pressure. ”

The Warriors won first, and the whole world was worried about the Grizzlies. The warriors' step-by-step offensive is indeed suffocating.

The only thing fans can be thankful for is that the Grizzlies' next game is against a tough opponent.

The Phoenix Suns, who are currently ranked in the top eight in the West, will be wiped out by the Grizzlies without any suspense in the eyes of many people!

After all, the first two meetings between the two sides ended with a big win for the Grizzlies. German. Booker, the young Suns core, is full of potential, but there is no way to threaten Link's position.

However, there are also some fans who don't think the Grizzlies will have an easy pass.

Again, there are a lot of accidents in basketball games, and no one knows what kind of accidents will occur in the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns.

The Grizzlies have been under so much pressure lately, and they have just lost a game they shouldn't have lost, which greatly increases the chances of accidents.

So, inexplicably, the showdown between the first team in the league and the top eight teams in the West has actually become a focus battle!

Grizzlies fans are hoping that Link can lead the team to a hearty victory over the Suns and put an end to the recent upheaval.

And Warriors fans are eager for the Grizzlies to continue to roll over, so that the Warriors and Grizzlies are only one win apart!

Link himself also takes this game very seriously.

But it's not because of the huge pressure, the high pressure is something that Link and the Grizzlies have long been used to.

The reason why Link attaches importance to this game is for one reason - Devin. Booker.

After the Grizzlies won the first two games, Link could feel the strong unwillingness in Booker's heart.

That kid might want to take the opportunity to make a big news.

There were only two people left in the huge training ground.

One keeps shooting from all angles beyond the three-point line, and the other sits on the sidelines, his eyes full of the young man in front of him.

"Alright, Booker, there's a game tomorrow." The man on the court screamed, and the sound of the basketball hitting the wooden floor finally stopped.

"Phew, I'm not tired yet, Earl. I was scared that as soon as I stopped, the fiery sensation would drift away. The young man named Booker stopped shooting and looked at his hands.

This afternoon, during the confrontational training, Devin. Booker found that he felt very good, how to shoot, how to have.

So in the evening, he stayed and continued to practice shooting to maintain his touch. As a result, it still feels surprisingly good.

In the beautiful sound of basketball entering the net again and again, Booker felt that he was getting more and more energetic as he shot. Although he was already sweating profusely, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

Until his head coach, Earl, who had just retired as a player for less than three years. Watson had just stopped him.

"Could it be that you are still planning to cast an all-night today? Don't worry, Booker, your hand won't go anywhere, it won't run. "Watson has been here with Booker for a long time, just to prevent Booker from practicing too late.

German. Booker is now one of the most popular players in the 15th class, and it can even be said that he is the most popular player in the 15th class other than his college teammate and 15-year champion Downs.

Bangyan D'Angelo. Russell has been questioned for his talent for exploring Jalil. Okafor has been benched in the 76ers.

Porzingis is worth a lot, but with Anthony, his shine is somewhat obscured.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Booker is the most popular player in 15 classes other than the top pick.

But even so, Booker still worked very hard. For him, what he has achieved so far is not enough.

The boy's ambition is no longer as simple as surpassing his peers.

Booker has often practiced late this season, so Watson simply stayed with him.

When the time is almost up, force Booker to leave.

"Hmm...... I hope so. In tomorrow's game, if we don't have such a shooting feeling, we probably won't have much chance of winning. Booker clenched his fists.

Tomorrow, he'll face the Grizzlies and Link for the third time this season.

The images of the first two painful defeats are still unforgettable.

Indeed, the Suns are just a team that is still rebuilding. Indeed, Booker is now no match for Link in terms of strength and ability.

But Booker really wants to win once, and he doesn't want to be like a high school kid every time he faces the Grizzlies.

"Maybe, who knows? The Grizzlies have been in trouble lately, and it's not certain that tomorrow will turn out to be our chance. Okay, don't think I'm going to let you stay. Let's go, save your strength for tomorrow. ”

Booker smiled, then nodded slightly.

The lights in the training hall went out in rows. The training hall, which had just been brightly lit, instantly became invisible.

But Booker's sweat here will never be worn out like a light.

Just like the ones he had experienced 20 years before.

A young player's desire to win is as strong as a boy's desire for a girl who has just passed the period of ignorance.

And this desire often makes the unexpected factors of the game endless!
