1079: The Biggest Problem at Christmas is Giving Gifts (4th Update)
From the start of the 16-17 season to the present, Link has swept away all the opponents he has met on the road.
That said, it's not because of the Grizzlies' 27-1 record. Because even if the team wins, a player's performance in the game is not necessarily the best.
For example, although the Rockets won against the Warriors in early December, Harden's personal performance in that game was actually not as good as Durant's.
You can say that the Rockets beat the Warriors, but you can't say that Harden beat Durant.
However, Link can not only win, but also play better than his rivals in almost every game.
Playing the Bucks on November 4, the Grizzlies won by 18 points, and Link also exploded the "alphabet brother" with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.
Playing the Clippers on November 5, the Grizzlies finally won by 35 points, and Link's 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists are better than Paul and Griffin combined.
Playing the Trail Blazers on November 7, Link had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists and contributed to the stunner, eating the Trail Blazers' backcourt double shots.
On December 5th, against the "Galaxy Battleship" Warriors, Link scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, the best in the game!
Playing the Lakers against Lowe, Link had 48 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and once again took out the opponent.
Playing the Rockets against Harden, Link even came up with the "strongest triple-double in history"......
From the Bucks to the Rockets, from "Alphabet" to "Bearded", the Grizzlies have encountered more than one monster this season.
But they were all trampled under Link's feet without exception.
Whether you're rampage with physical talent or an efficient offense with touch and data analysis, Link can handle it all.
In other words, from the start of the season until now, Link has never been beaten in the truest sense of the word!
That's right, the Grizzlies currently have a 27-1 record, and they've already lost one game.
But Link didn't, and so far, Link's minus is still 0.
No one else can have an advantage in a head-to-head confrontation with Link.
He has trampled countless "monsters" under his feet, and now, it's LeBron's turn. James up!
Although there are still a few days before the start of the Christmas War, the Link vs James matchup has become the most high-profile collision at present.
This season, the Cavaliers have had a pretty good record. 19-6 puts them firmly in the top spot in the East.
Moreover, this year's knights have not been affected by injuries.
James, Love and Owen are all in excellent form.
Compared to last season, Irving and Love have both improved their stats.
During the regular season last season, Irving averaged just 19.6 points per game and shot just 32.1 percent from three-point range.
But this season, Irving's average points per game has skyrocketed to 25.2 points, just ranking tenth in the league and entering the top ten on the scoring list! And Irving's three-point shooting rate this season is as high as 40.1%.
Love also averaged 19.2 points per game from 16 last season, and his three-point shooting percentage increased by 1.3 percentage points from last year.
Not to mention James, who is no longer young, but he doesn't even have the slightest downward trend.
Averaged 26.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game! The thirty-year-old Zhan can still play an all-around statistic of almost averaging a triple-double per game this season!
And a few days ago in the game against the Bucks, James's 34 points and 12 rebounds also pressed the young Antetokounmpo under him.
As it turns out, James remains one of the league's best players. In the face of the challenges of his juniors, he did not fall behind at all.
While people are talking more about the Warriors and Grizzlies right now, it's Link and Durant.
But LeBron. James, the "chosen son", has never given up on competition.
The excellent performances of the Cavaliers and James this season have made many people have confidence in the Cavaliers.
Perhaps, James will be the only "monster" who is not defeated by Link!
Of course, there are also those who believe that the Grizzlies will continue to be invincible. Link has crushed James many times, not this time.
In response, numerous journalists and media outlets have published articles to support their views.
And in the comment area below these articles, it is usually the fans of the two teams who are spitting at each other.
The atmosphere of the big battle was hyped up in an instant, and even if there is no official publicity and hype, the ratings of this game will definitely soar.
You know, except for the showdown between Link and James. The reunion of Wade and James as rivals is also quite interesting.
Until then, though, both sides still have games to play.
There was something unexpected on the Grizzlies' side, and on December 20, in the home game against the Boston Celtics, the Grizzlies with a neat lineup actually lost.
This is mainly because Isaiah, who is only 1.75 meters tall. Thomas showed a supernatural performance, he scored 45 points in the game, including an exaggerated 7-of-10 three-point shot!
Such a three-point shooting rate, even Link can't withstand it.
In the end, the Celtics won the game by eight points, while the Grizzlies suffered their first loss since Link's return.
The most surprising thing in this game is undoubtedly Thomas Jr., no one knows how he scored 40+ points on the Grizzlies with a height of only 1.75 meters!
After all, Link only scored 34 points in this game. If Thomas Jr. is also a "monster", then he may be the only player who can suppress Link in terms of individual performance at the moment.
The match caused an uproar because Thomas Jr. proved that Link is not invincible!
Defeating Link is not something magical or impossible.
At this time, Cavaliers fans are happier than Celtics fans.
It's as if the Celtics can crush the Grizzlies, and the Cavaliers can.
Although the Grizzlies quickly avoided a losing streak in the subsequent game against the Pistons, Cavaliers fans directly chose to ignore this game and still clung to the Grizzlies loss.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers, they won the Bucks and the Rockets before the Christmas game! And in these two games, James's performance was quite exciting!
At this point, the self-confidence of Cavaliers fans and the Cleveland media has swelled to the highest value!
"The opponent that Link beats, LeBron can beat too! So, LeBron has a chance to win! ”
"Link was actually taken by Isaiah. Thomas knocked down, haha, LeBron and Irving are ten times more dangerous than Thomas! ”
"I know it's not going to be a good game, but the Cavaliers have a better chance of winning!"
For a split second, the Cavaliers seemed to have the upper hand on the momentum.
On Dec. 22, after the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks, James also spoke up for the first time.
"Of course I'm going to do my best, and the Grizzlies are the most likely opponent for us in the Finals. So, we have only one goal - to defeat him! Link's previous record was really good, but I was unlike all the 'monsters' he'd faced before. ”
The 30-year-old is still eager to beat Link, although he has become the biggest backdrop for the Grizzlies during their three-game winning streak. But until now, he's still thinking about how to turn over!
And what about Link?
While James spoke impassionedly, Memphis reporters photographed Link frequenting the mall lately.
In Link's words on social media. "What to give to my teammates is more of a headache than a Christmas fight."
Link's contemptuous attitude angered countless Cleveland fans, who all assured that Link would pay the price for his contempt.
However, Link just thought of another way to motivate his teammates......
