Josh. Smith is very quiet now, Al. Horford and Josh have been teammates for six years, but he has never seen Josh play so quietly.

Most of the time, Josh's trash talk makes Horford frown slightly. As a teammate, Horford felt that Josh's trash talk every game was a bit too much.

But today, Josh didn't say a word on the court. This is the first time Horford has seen this situation.

It seems that this time, Josh was really convinced......

By this time, the game had reached the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, and the Atlanta Hawks were struggling to hold on, but they were still 12 points behind the Grizzlies. From the first shot of the first quarter of the game, the Eagles were kept under control.

Josh. Smith's performance today was a rollover scene, scoring 21 points so far, but only 37.5% shooting rate made his 20+ points meaningless.

Throughout the race, the impatient Josh was playing like crazy in the middle distance. The more Link's trash talk spewed, the more Josh struck the iron. So, as long as the trash talk is sprayed well, it can really make the game more effective with half the effort.

At this point, it's the Grizzlies' offensive round. As soon as substitute Azeli sent the ball to the baseline, the local Memphis fans cheered.

Because of this offense, Link will have a good chance of breaking Josh. Smith's record for the highest scoring of the season!

So far in the game, Link has scored 29 points. Those Atlanta media are probably dumbfounded, Josh is obviously good defensively, but Link has scored a high score lightly.

What they didn't figure out was that Josh's defense was really good, but Link's offense was even more powerful! It's like a sprinter, no matter how good he is, he can't be faster than a racer who drives a sports car.

Can you say that sprinters aren't fast enough? No, he's fast enough, it's just that his opponent is faster!

It's like a dimensionality reduction blow, Josh wants to kill the enemy by leapfrogging, and the end result is very ugly.

Josh gritted his teeth as he watched Link approach.

"What's your record for the most points you scored this season?"

Link's message on Josh's social media began to echo in his mind at this time.

Josh doesn't have the luxury of winning the game and beating Link now, he just wants to be able to stop this guy and make him not score more than 30!

But what I'm afraid of will come, just after the Grizzlies halftime, Link sat in the middle distance, stuck Josh with his back, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball!

Link doesn't intend to show mercy to his subordinates, he wants to single Josh with his back. Smith!

Bag clips? Larry. Drew really didn't dare to arrange that. In the third quarter, he used a bag jacket on Link, and as a result, Link had 4 assists in a single quarter, allowing the Grizzlies to play a multi-point performance. It was also at that time that the Grizzlies completely opened up the difference.

Josh is left alone to face Link's devastation. This is Josh. For the first time, Smith was terrified when he faced an attacking player!

Link did focus on the team's victory at the beginning and didn't deliberately score. But now that it's only a matter of time before he wins, Link will certainly have to deal with his personal feud with Josh.

With the ball on his back, Link first took a look at the Eagles' defense. When I found that there was no bag, I boldly made a move!

Josh's defense is as tough as ever, but it's not about strength when it comes to back-to-back matchups between outside players.

Link shook his shoulders nimbly and then rolled over to make a move, when a tense Josh rose to the ground like a spring. And the more you press the spring, the harder it bounces.

When Josh. When Smith's "spring" jumped high, he found that Link didn't jump at all, and his feet were still firmly on the ground!

Deceived again!

Josh jumped so hard, and Link certainly wouldn't let his efforts go to waste. So, after Link's point on Josh, he took the initiative to lean in and shoot in the confrontation.

As the basketball jumped into the net, the referee's whistle sounded. Josh. Smith defended a foul, Link scored 2 points effectively, and he had to add a free throw!

Link waved his arm hard, and now he had 31 points. If you add a penalty and hit it again, that's 32 points! Break Josh. Smith's record for the highest scoring of the season is a breeze!

Josh. Smith hung his head and crossed his hands on his hips, still not saying a word.

Horford looked at Josh like this, and his heart ached. For the first time, he wanted Josh to say something, even if it was anything else.

But when Link was on the free-throw line, Josh. Smith remained silent. Link made a solid free throw to score his 32nd point of the game.

Josh. Smith is completely destroyed by Link.

"The gap became 15 points, and the Eagles had few chances. A few days ago, it took the Los Angeles Lakers a full game to close the 16-point gap. The Hawks now have only five minutes left, and besides, they don't have Kobe. Bryant. ”

Sure enough, after Linkga hit the free throw, Larry. Drew immediately called a halt to the game. After returning from the timeout, the Grizzlies left Conley with only one starter to stabilize the situation on the court. Stevens is announcing to the world that he has won the game.

After a few minutes, the already depleted eagle was unable to organize a decent counterattack. Sporadic goals from Teague and Horford couldn't allow the Hawks to close the 15-point gap.

Hawks sixth man Louis. Williams hit two three-pointers when he got on the court, but soon the Grizzlies' convulsive Nick Brown. Yang also used color to stabilize the difference at 15 points.

With 1:22 left in the game, the Eagles still trailed by 14 points. Larry. With a big wave of his hand, Drew replaced all the main players - and the game officially entered garbage time.

"Josh. Smith scored 21 points in the game and shot less than 40 percent from the field, scoring just two points in the entire fourth quarter. There was no doubt that he lost badly today, with Link holding Josh down on all fronts. Challenging for the Western Conference Player of the Month is not a wise decision. ”

"yes, and on top of that, Link really broke Josh's record for the most points of the season today. Link not only smacked Josh on the Internet, but also did something practical on the basketball court. I think in the future, anyone who wants to challenge Link will have to think about it. ”

On the commentary podium, Hubi. Brown and his partner both turned on the "blowing forest mode", and the excited Atlanta media were sighing.

"Today is the 4th, and in 10 days, the first round of NBA All-Star voting results will be released. What do you think this time, Josh. Is it possible for Smith to be selected? ”

"It's hard," said Hubby. Brown shook his head without hesitation, "James, Anthony, Bosh, Garnett...... Josh has to compete against these guys to make it to the All-Star list. However, Josh doesn't have much of an advantage over them. Compared to Josh. Smith, I'm more interested in Link's All-Star prospects this year. I think this year, Link's votes will be frighteningly high. ”

Hubi. Brown squinted as he looked at the No. 0 who had skyrocketed this season.

Last season, Link surprised everyone by surpassing Griffin to start the Western Conference Stars.

But this year, if Link's votes are too low, it will be a surprise.

Look at Josh. Smith's fate, it's not just any player who can argue with Link right now.

That guy is a real superstar now.

The results of the first round of voting for the All-Stars on the 14th are really exciting.

As he spoke, the electronic beep sounded throughout the audience. 103-90, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the third-place Hawks in the East by 13 points at home, ending the Hawks' magical seven-game winning streak.

Link had 32 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, and the Black and White Bears also scored 18 points each. The Grizzlies suppressed the Hawks in every way, and the victory was well deserved.

After the game, facing the cameras of the reporters, Josh. Smith no longer has the arrogance he used to have.

He crossed his waist, his eyes were blank, and he thought for a long time before finally saying a word.

"The Western Conference of the Month was just a late game, and the last time they lost to the Spurs, I misassessed the situation. He's strong, but we're not going to sink there. ”

Al on the side. Horford shook his head, the unruly Eagle King also has a day when he is tamed.
