On Feb. 2, when the best results of the month came out, Harden was undoubtedly the hardest hit.

For the first time in his career, this is the honor that Harden has been waiting for. In fact, Harden had a chance to win the honor on both occasions in December and January.

But both times, he was in second place, behind Link.

Without Link, Harden would have been the best of the month for two consecutive seasons.

It's just a pity that there are no ifs in the world of competitive sports. Until now, Harden has not been able to fulfill his dream of the best of the month.

The second place is the number one loser.

On the one hand, the media is feeling sorry for Harden, and on the other hand, they are also criticizing Link's statements in the interview.

"If Link doesn't know how to respect his opponent, then he won't be respected by the opponent either."

"The first player in NBA history to be named the Western Conference Player of the Month for three consecutive years is truly a great honor. But if Link does off Harden, I'm sure he won't be able to continue his monthly record next month. ”

"That's Link's style of speaking, and of course, it's never liked."

Before the Grizzlies' game against the Suns began, Link found himself being bombarded by the media again.

Link was speechless as he looked at the news reports cursing him.

Not only is he the first player to win the Month award for three consecutive months in the West, but he may also be the first player in history to be scolded immediately after winning the Month award.

Look at what the Hawks starting five of the month in the East have been praised for, and then look at the media reactions after the previous monthly awards came out.

Link felt like he might be the worst Player of the Month.

I just told a few words of the truth, and I was hacked like this.

He didn't bother to bother with the best of the month, and if that were the case, Link would believe he would have scored no less than five games in a single game with 40 points.

Link's only desire in January was indeed victory, and he didn't really care about anything else.

So Link said he really didn't want to win the best of the month, but he wasn't pretending.

However, the media scolded and scolded, and Link was not affected by this.

Before the game against the Suns, Link was still very serious in the warm-up.

Anyway, no matter how much they scold, this month's best will not be canceled.

Play your own game well and let others talk in vain.

The last time the Suns beat the Grizzlies at home was in 2011. It's been four years now.

So far this season, the Suns have a 28-21 record, temporarily ranking eighth in the West. They have Dragic, Bledsoe, the Morris brothers and Steven Gerrard in their squad. Green and other powerful players.

It is widely believed that the Suns are very likely to make the playoffs this season.

The last time the Suns played the playoffs was in the '09-10 season, but in the years before, the Suns were just one step away from making the playoffs.

In the 10-11 season, the Suns were 10th in the West, just six wins away from the eighth-place team.

The Suns were still 10th in the West in 11-12, but they were only three wins away from eighth.

The 12-13 Suns are completely rotten, but last season, the Suns were only 1 win away from the playoffs!

Therefore, the Suns are not really a bad team, and many strong teams have turned over on them.

They have missed the playoffs all year round, and they are undoubtedly underestimated by most people.

Indeed, the last time the Suns beat the Grizzlies at home was in 2011. But this year, they have a good chance of breaking that embarrassing record.

From the start of the game, the Suns showed that they were stronger than they seemed.

Dragic and Bledsoe burst into the basket as soon as they started, and the two guys formed a guard line that is definitely one of the most underrated guard lines.

Dragic is now averaging 16.2 points and 4.1 assists per game, and Bledsoe is averaging 17 points, 6.1 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game.

These two guys may not be the best defenders on their own, but together they are powerful.

Dragic and Bledsoe's breakaway gave the Suns the lead before Randolph brought Dragic down on a defensive run.

At first, the referee only gave the "big black bear" a common foul. But soon, Markieff. Morris rushed up and shoved Randolph to cheer up his teammates.

Markieff. Morris is not a good man, and so far this season, he has accumulated 10 technical fouls.

This number is second only to Westbrook of the Thunder and ranks second in the league.

Therefore, seeing his teammates suffer, Markieff. Morris naturally couldn't bear it.

Morris's push was like pouring a bowl of oil into the fire pit, making the fire in the hearts of both sides burn even more.

Randolph was so provoked, naturally, he would not be indifferent. He rushed up and collided with Morris, and the conflict between the two was on the verge of breaking out.

Morris and Randolph scuffled together, but fortunately, the other players on both sides were calmer and pulled the two sides apart at the first time.

Otherwise, this match will turn into a street fighting boxing match.

Although the clash came and went quickly, the referee showed no mercy and awarded a technical foul to Maurice and Randolph.

Markieff. Morris now has 11 technical fouls and is tied with Westbrook for the most in the league.

After the technical foul, both coaches swapped their No. 4 positions and rested for a while before coming back to their senses.

Although the two parties left the court temporarily, once the smell of gunpowder was generated, it was difficult to dissipate it again.

In the ensuing game, the two sides fought very fiercely. The Grizzlies showed their strength as always, and the Suns bit very hard.

However, the Grizzlies kept the initiative, and at the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led the Suns by five points, 77-72.

And the Grizzlies' dominance in the fourth quarter is unquestionable.

The local Phoenix commentator bluntly stated, "The Suns did play strong today, but they may be missing out on victory." ”

Everyone thought that the Grizzlies had no problem winning the game, but no one expected that the shortest player in the game would break the balance.

Isaiah. Thomas averaged 20.3 points and 6.3 assists per game in Sacramento last season, which is undoubtedly at the level of the league's top point guards.

Any team with a young point guard of this caliber is definitely not for sale.

But last summer, the Kings showed no mercy in trading Thomas. After arriving in Phoenix, Thomas was not safe. Although he has only been with the team for half a season, trade rumors about him have started to fly.

Compared to Thomas, who is only 1.75 meters tall, the Suns clearly trust Dragic and Bledsoe more. Thomas has no place at all in the Suns, and as a point guard who averages 20+6 per game, he has only had one start in the Suns this season, which is telling.

Thomas was reluctant, he wanted to prove himself, he didn't want to be thrown around like a cargo.

So, in the fourth quarter, the little guard, who is only 1.75 meters tall, went crazy.

As soon as the fourth quarter began, Isaiah. Thomas made four consecutive layups.

Thomas's core strength is strong, and the physical confrontation in the breakthrough does not suffer.

Although his height is not dominant, Thomas's finishing ability under the basket is not bad. He's a big fan of the little hook that jumps after breaking through, which makes his shots very difficult to block.

Four consecutive breakaway layups allowed Conley to choose to defend Thomas's breakaway.

As everyone knows, Isaiah. This time, Thomas seized the opportunity to shoot directly from beyond the three-point line!

The moment the basketball passed through the net, all the fans at the American Airlines Center raised their arms and cheered.

Isaiah. Thomas scored 11 straight points to turn the Suns around and force Joggle to take a timeout.

The short defender cheered at the pause and undoubtedly proved his worth.

Thomas's 11-0 offensive wave boosted the Suns' morale. After that, they continued to work hard and took a seven-point lead at the last 1 minute and 35 seconds of the race!

At this point, it's the Suns who have the ball. If they make another three-pointer, it will be a fatal 10-point advantage at this crucial moment!

Thomas was dribbling forward, but the camera focused on Link with his arms outstretched.

"Now, it's time to test the Player of the Month." The Phoenix local commentator gloated that he believed that even Link would not be able to stop the Suns from counterattacking today.
