1114: An opponent who has never won this season
Lore misses.
It's not really something to talk about.
In fact, most of the key shots end up missing.
It is precisely because the lore shot is so hard-won that it becomes the most exciting moment in the basketball game.
But if you tie this matter to the contradictions between Durant and Link, it is no longer irrelevant.
Durant's threat to provoking the Warriors is more likely than the Grizzlies to end January with a winning streak, but he didn't hit that winning shot himself.
It was his own miss that caused the Warriors' all-out victory plan to come to naught.
Durant raised his hand and punched himself in the face this time.
Undoubtedly, this makes Durant a target for fans and journalists alike.
Although Durant did not participate in the post-game press conference, the reporters did not want to let Durant go at all.
Instead, they rubbed salt in their wounds and deliberately asked a lot of questions about lore misses during the media session the next day.
In the face of reporters' difficulties, Durant is miserable.
Since joining the Warriors, Durant has been a public enemy of the whole people for two years.
At first, he comforted himself by saying that when he won the championship, all doubts and abuse would disappear.
However, this season, Durant's image has not been redeemed much. Coupled with the resurgence of the Grizzlies, the image of Durant and the Warriors has plummeted.
After only two years of being a "villain", Durant was already unbearable. He really can't imagine now how he survived the years when Link was sprayed the hardest.
The Warriors' loss to the Trail Blazers increased their loss to eight games this season.
Durant didn't just make the Warriors close to the first place in the West, as he said. His lore missed, but it allowed the Grizzlies to throw another step away from the Warriors.
Durant is in a lot of pain, and so far this season, he hasn't even won against Link once!
Whether it's individual performances, team records, or direct encounters between the two sides, the Warriors are always on the losing side.
This situation undoubtedly annoyed Durant very much, and when the "Grim Reaper" was completely angry, the power he burst out was also quite amazing.
Link's old enemy, naturally, is also a dangerous person.
※※※
Durant and Green were temporarily depressed, and Link was able to finish his hatred.
From the beginning, Link admitted that he was a stingy person, and Durant and Green deliberately coughed into the camera before the game against the Magic to mock their actions of feigning illness, which did make Link very angry.
But now, he taught Durant a lesson without having to meet with the Warriors, which can be regarded as a big revenge.
However, Link also knows that the "revenge" between himself and Durant cannot be avenged.
Again, only when one of them leaves the alliance will the feud between them really end.
After defeating the Trail Blazers and indirectly motivating the Trail Blazers to defeat the Warriors, the Grizzlies' devastating offensive has not stopped.
At the start of 2017, the Grizzlies experienced a two-game losing streak in Los Angeles.
At the time, I don't know how many people were clamoring that the Warriors were about to regain the first place in the West in the second half of the season.
But no one would have thought that those two consecutive losses were just the beginning of the Grizzlies' low start in 2017.
On Jan. 30, the Grizzlies beat the Suns 115-90. Sun potential Nova Devon. Booker scored 22 points, but shot a miserable 30 percent from the field.
The Grizzlies are still so strict about educating young players.
After entering February, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets, Thunder and Timberwolves respectively.
Among them, in the game against the Thunder, Westbrook also hit a triple-double of 38 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists!
But it didn't help, as Link held off "The Turtle" for two consecutive rounds in the final minute to make him swallow his third straight defeat of the season.
Westbrook's "triple-double method" didn't work for Link at all.
From crushing the Warriors on January 7 to now, the Grizzlies have blasted the second-longest 15-game winning streak of the season without warning!
You have absolutely no idea what makes this shocking, whether it's a 15-game winning streak or the second longest.
For almost a month, the grizzlies didn't know what it was like to fail. On top of that, they have also repeatedly met the strongest teams in the West in the past month.
Even with such a terrible schedule, the Grizzlies made it to the end.
The game was only lost four games before reaching the All-Star level. The last time this happened in NBA history, the Grizzlies won 74. Their results this season are starting to be highly anticipated again.
So far this season, the Grizzlies have won almost every strong team in the league.
Against the Rockets, they won 3-0. Against the Thunder, 3-0 victory. Even against the Warriors, they are currently in complete victory.
The Grizzlies' Battle of God Butcher in January was even more addictive to fans.
The powerhouses have played the Grizzlies almost in a wheel battle for the past month, but they have all been beaten back one by one.
ESPN even had an article that said, "The 15-game winning streak that the Grizzlies just created is the highest 15-game winning streak in league history!" ”
There are very few weak teams in these 15 consecutive wins, but there are surprisingly many strong teams. It looks like the Grizzlies have run out of opponents this season.
But until now, there is still one Western powerhouse Grizzlies that have not been beaten this season.
And in this February, their meeting was finally put on the agenda......

Wilson. Chandler didn't dare to dribble the ball at all, and as soon as he received the basketball, he felt like he had received a hot potato, and it was quickly passed out.
He thought he would be safe when he passed the ball, but in fact, danger was always with him.
At the moment when Chandler passed the ball, the expressionless guy in front of him suddenly reached out and took a big step sideways.
"Smack!"
He stretched out his big hand and grabbed the basketball that had just been passed out.
"Damn!" Wilson. Chandler's eyes widened, what kind of terrible reaction speed is this!?
Completing a steal at the moment of the opponent's pass is a thing he has only seen Link do before.
But at this time, the expressionless guy in front of him did the same thing!
"Incredible tackle from Kawaii. Leonard! He reacted the moment Chandler hit the ball, and God, I bet he's got mechanical bones underneath his skin. ”
Under the stunned gaze of the opponent and the commentator, Leonard advanced with the ball after completing the steal.
His absolute speed isn't as fast as Link's, but he's so big and impactful that no one on the Nuggets can keep up with him.
Even Farid, a "half-orc" known for his athleticism, could only chase after Leonard.
In the end, Leonard dunked and dunked after a beautiful steal.
His slender arms made it seem as if he could smash the ball into the frame with just a slight leap.
After this goal, Nuggets coach Mike . Malone called a timeout in despair.
He looked up at the big screen, then shook his head reluctantly.
The difference became 30 points!
"Terrible steals, terrible dunks, Kawai brutally destroyed the Nuggets' front line today! After Duncan left, Cavuay carried the banner of the Spurs like Duncan back then. The San Antonio Spurs are truly an evergreen, although Parker and Ginobili are old, and Duncan has retired. But long before a few years, they completed the reconstruction! ”
"yes, yes, Leonard started to take charge this season and put on a superstar performance. This season, several of his stats have been career bests! He's a formidable striker, and this season there have been countless opponents like Chandler today, ruthlessly destroyed by him. He was like a cold-blooded killing machine, bleeding everywhere he went. ”
"Speaking of which, only Link can be more terrifying than Leonard in the entire West. I really don't know what kind of sparks will be sparked when these two terrible killing machines meet. ”
"Come on, man, come on. Two days later, the Spurs and Grizzlies will meet for the first time of the season. Leonard and Link, they won't let us down. ”
The two commentators chatted happily, seemingly forgetting that the Spurs' opponent today was the Nuggets.
Still, fans love to hear this.
When the Grizzlies haven't lost since January 7, the expressionless "Terminator Robot" has become the biggest possibility to end it all.
