John. Wall didn't expect that after scoring 7 points and 5 assists in the first quarter of the game, he actually scored in the third consecutive game without a double-double......

Without scoring a single point in 7 minutes and 44 seconds, the Wizards' sudden collapse in the second quarter made them completely lose their confidence. So much so that throughout the second half, they did not relieve.

Wall had disappeared since the dark 7 minutes and 44 seconds, and he was never seen again. The 10-year champion, who was eager to defeat Link, felt more like an inept draft pick.

Watching Link lead the team to an offensive wave, watching Link lead the team to play tough defense, watching Link torment Ariza and Webster's nerves again and again, Wall couldn't be more than lonely.

When has the gap between them become so big?

The most successful of all the rookies in the 10th class was actually a draft loss...... Wall shook his head helplessly, which was ironic.

Finally, it was an electronic beep that interrupted Wall's thoughts. Wall jerked up and looked at the big screen at the scene, 76-95, the Memphis Grizzlies were at home, and another team did not score more than 80!

You know, the Wizards scored 30 points in the first quarter of the game, but only 46 points were scored in the last three quarters combined. A deep sense of powerlessness spread from the soles of Wall's feet to the top of his head, and he said in his heart at this time, "Don't use your limits to challenge other people's willfulness." ”

The Wizards did the ultimate and could only lead the Grizzlies by 7 points in one quarter. But once the grizzly bears do it to the extreme, this is the result.

"At the end of the game, I have to say, it was a game of high and low walking. At the end of the first quarter, everyone thought the game was going to be very tight. However, in the end, the Wizards still couldn't escape a one-sided fate. Wall had just nine points and nine assists in the game. Although he came close to a double-double, I don't think anyone would say that Wall did well today. ”

Hubi. After Brown spoke, he couldn't even see Wall on the court. There is no way, no loser will stay in the sea of victory for long.

After Wall left, reporters only focused on Link, who scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. If Link hadn't "clocked out" after only three quarters today, his stats would have exploded even more.

"How do you feel about defeating the Washington Wizards and Wall?" A young reporter walked up to Link and held out his microphone.

Hearing this question, Link looked at the camera in surprise, "How do you feel?" Isn't it the right thing we should do to win the Wizards? I don't have any special feelings. ”

Wall, who was sitting in the locker room watching live TV, suffered a 10,000-point critical hit.

How the Wizards came to be in the first place, and how they got back in the end.

No upsets, no wins. There weren't too many reporters, and there wasn't much coverage about it. This team with the top prize left Memphis in disgrace.

No one cares if Wall is uncomfortable, and no one cares if the Wizards can pull off a miracle to make the playoffs. The only thing that people talk about is that the Grizzlies avoided a losing streak and that Link played well again and again in the game.

The game between Wall and the Wizards in Memphis undoubtedly told the rest of the league that "you don't have enough strength, don't be delusional at the Federal Express Arena." Because now, it's not just a team that can pull out a team and pull out the Grizzlies at will. ”

The Grizzlies, the No. 1 in the league, have a lot of money, and they're strong enough to crush teams that can't even make the playoffs.

Nowhere was this more evident than in the days leading up to the All-Star break.

On Feb. 5, the Grizzlies beat the Clippers 96-90 at home. Even though "Polish Hammer" Gortat exploded today, scoring 20 points on 80% shooting. Even Suns backup guard Kendal. Marshall was on fire today, coming off the bench and shooting 4-of-5 from three-point range.

But at the critical moment, the Grizzlies still relied on solid defense and calm offense, which frustrated the Suns' desire to win in an upset.

On Feb. 6, the Grizzlies played back-to-back away games against the Hawks. Jeff. Teague shot 7-of-10 from the field and 2-of-3 from three-point range, putting in a magnificent double-double of 22 points and 13 assists. Even Josh. Smith, a "mid-range shooting beauty", is really "beautiful" in today's mid-range shooting.

However, the Grizzlies still won 103-98 on the road.

At the critical moment, Josh's dunk was blocked by Link. Josh was shocked at the time, Link's athleticism can actually compete with himself?

In the final round, Link pulled a three-pointer after a shake from outside the three-point line to kill the game completely. Relying on this offense and defense at the critical moment, the Grizzlies finally stabilized the situation by 5 points. The Eagles tried their best, but they couldn't get the league's No. 1 pick down.

After three games, the Grizzlies defeated Curry and David in a row. The Warriors, who scored 58 points, the Timberwolves, who had a brave performance by Rubio and Redno, and Cousins, who scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals in a single game, finally remembered Cousins, who wanted to play well.

In all three games, the opponent's players played badly. However, the grizzly bears were able to crush them immobilizing as soon as they exerted their strength.

Charles. After watching the Grizzlies vs. Kings game, Barkley bluntly said, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a dominant team." ”

At this point, the Grizzlies' games before the start of the All-Star break are all over. Since losing Game 1 to the Thunder in February, the Grizzlies have come out of the gloom with a wave of six straight wins.

This time, the Grizzlies players couldn't have loved the league's schedule.

All-Star Weekend doesn't start until Feb. 15, but the Grizzlies players won't play since the Kings on the 12th. This means that you can start enjoying a short vacation of All-Star Weekend 2 days in advance.

Most of the Grizzlies players who don't have All-Star Game assignments choose to rest at home, and it's rare to have a few days off, but no one wants to take the initiative to run around.

Randolph and Link must arrive in Houston by the 15th, and both have only All-Star games to play this year, but that doesn't mean they only have to play one game in the next few days.

The All-Star Game is a feast for fans and a big business show. It is essential to participate in a wide variety of business events during the All-Star Game.

In particular, Link, who started as a member of the Western Stars team, and as a hot new star in the league right now, Link was packed with All-Star weekend this year.

"How do I feel, it's more tiring than playing in the regular season." When Link gets Jeff. When Austin passed his All-Star Weekend schedule, Link let out a cry of despair.

"It's okay, don't you have a lot of free time at night?" Randolph glanced at Link's schedule and realized that it wasn't like there was no free time at all.

"At night? I've got that for the evening, Zach. Link laughed, and he and Rachel could finally have a good weekend.

On the morning of February 15, there was a truce in the whole Union. At 10 a.m. on the 15th, the All-Star Weekend event began.

The first thing to do was the open pre-game training for the rookie game, but since Link was already in the third grade, he finally got out of the rookie game.

Link also lamented that time flies so fast, and it has been two years since he and Cousins partnered to do things at the rookie game.

Although this year's rookie challenge does not have Link and others, it is still full of stars.

Lillard, Irving, Klay. Thompson, Kemba. Walker, Anthony. Davis, Leonard, Vucevic...... In some ways, Link even felt that this rookie game was more luxurious than their two roster games.

As you know, it's not easy to stand out in the rookie competition this year. After all, there are indeed too many strong hands. This year's rookie selection isn't just a rookie outstanding, it's a league-wide performance.

Lillard, who averaged 19.2 points and 6.2 assists per game, was said he should go straight to the All-Star Game.

Kemba. Walker, averaging 17.7 points and 5.2 assists per game, is already the core of the Bobcats.

Clay. Thompson, averaging 16.6 points per game and shooting 40.1% from three-point range. In his second year, he is already the perfect 3D player that every team dreams of.

For comparison, Link's rookie game, Landry, who averaged less than 10 points per game. Fields can start. De Juan, who is now gone. Blair can compete for the best rookie award.

Everyone knows that this year's rookie race is a lot to look at, and everyone wants to see who is the most powerful in this group of high-quality newcomers.

Cavaliers guard Kelly. Irving was no exception, and in an interview in open practice today, he said, "All-Star Weekend gives you a chance to win the respect of others, and a chance to let people see a different version of yourself, so that fans can see how I play, and let the rest of the league remember me." ”

As the only player to be selected for both the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game this year, Irving is ambitious.

And his ambitions aren't just in the rookie game......
