Link won the Defensive Player of the Year award, which was undoubtedly a big event that shocked everyone.

After all, in most people's minds, the award for the best defensive player should belong to the big man.

The last time this tradition was broken was Artest a decade ago, and even earlier it was Gary "The Gloves" in the 1995-96 season. Peyton. And 8 years before Payton won the award, it was Jordan. Judging by the time interval, one can also see how difficult it is for an outside player to win this award.

What's more, there is no shortage of excellent defensive big men in the league this season. Chicagoans and Clippers fans have been building momentum for Noah and Jordan Jr. for a long time, and they've been waiting for these two guys to win the award.

Who knows, the grizzly bear quietly broke up again. Moreover, it is even bigger than the upset of Jogle winning the best coach!

After winning the Defensive Player of the Year, Link also became the third person in history to win both the FMVP and the Defensive Player of the Year award after Jordan and Olajuwon.

Jordan won the Defensive Player of the Year in 1987-88 and won the Finals MVP in all six of his championships. Olajuwon won the Defensive Player of the Year in 1992-93 and 1993-94 and the Finals MVP in 1993-94 and 1994-95.

Both of these won the Defensive Player of the Year first, and then the FMVP. Link, on the other hand, gets the FMVP first and then the best defensive player. From this point of view, Link seems to have made history again.

He has added to his already full list of individual accolades this season.

Of course, it also made his hatred value in the alliance skyrocket.

After Link's award, Chris. Paul immediately took to social media to support his teammate Jordan Jr., "This is simply the most ridiculous selection ever, just because they scored 74 wins, they can unconditionally win all the honors?" ”

DeAndrew. Jordan's mother, Kimberly. Jordan was also disappointed with the result, "It's an insult to DeAndrew, he deserves that honor." The league shouldn't give Link all the awards just because of his popularity. ”

The Clippers were the team most unhappy with Link's award, but Noah, the previous top candidate, didn't say much.

After all, the Clippers are exactly the Grizzlies' opponents in the next round. Watching their opponents snatch the jackpot ahead of time must have been very upset.

The Grizzlies and Clippers game hadn't even started, but the smell of gunpowder from the two teams was the first to get stronger.

After Paul and Jordan Jr.'s mother spoke, reporters 24 stared at Link's social media, expecting him to respond with punchline trash talk.

However, Link only posted a photo of the Most Improved Award, the championship ring, the three-point contest winner, the slam dunk contest winner, the FMVP trophy and the best defensive player trophy on social media the night before the start of the match.

Link stood behind these trophies, arms outstretched, as if hugging them.

The picture is accompanied by a simple sentence, "Who recommended a display shelf to me?" The old one can't put these things anymore, it's too much! ”

In a word, in a picture. Without dirty words and no complaints, Link was already so angry that Paul and Little Jordan vomited blood!

It's a fucking show-off!

Link's picture makes Paul and Jordan Jr. irritable and full of sour smell.

Even the league's No. 1 "Limhei" Bill. Simmons shook his head helplessly when he saw Link's post. He was rejoicing, glad he hadn't waded into muddy waters this time.

He knew that Link had a lot of points to attack. But when it comes to personal honor, don't go up the bar with Link. In the entire history of the NBA, you won't find any player other than Link who has so many individual accolades in just his fourth year.

Paul and Jordan Jr., this time they dug their own pits and jumped on their own. Simmons can only sympathize with this, and at this point, Link is not black.

The only thing Simmons regrets now is that Link was not born in the eighties and nineties. Otherwise, the battle between him and Bird will definitely be unprecedentedly exciting.

The social media battle between the two sides ended in a complete victory for Link. But as everyone knows, this isn't the end of the incident, it's the beginning of the escalation!

On May 6th, the long-awaited Western Conference semifinals finally began! Originally, the strong dialogue between the Spurs and the Thunder in the second half was more attractive. But because of the dispute over the best defensive player, the game between the Clippers and the Grizzlies has become more high-profile.

"Luckily, the Los Angeles Clippers can prove themselves on the court! DeAndrew. Jordan will have the opportunity to prove himself more deserving in front of Link! I am sure that the battle between the two sides will definitely be fierce! ”

"There's not much to say, the Clippers players are holding their breath right now. They will definitely take all their frustration out on the Grizzlies, and it will be up to the defending champions to withstand it. ”

"This series has escalated because of the battle for the best defensive player. Let's hope the Grizzlies don't let up because they rest too long, because the Clippers will definitely do everything in their power to get their dignity back! ”

From the morning of May 6, the whole world was talking about the upcoming big war.

Today, the most innocent person is the Suns' Slovenian guard Goran. Dragic, who won the Most Improved Award today. But the heat was all stolen by the Grizzlies and the Clippers.

While the media is building momentum for the Grizzlies vs. Clippers game, many people don't even know that the results of the Most Improved Award have been announced......

Dragic could become one of the most non-existent and most improved players in history.

At 6 p.m. that night, the Los Angeles Clippers showed up at the Federal Express arena two hours early.

When they stepped off the team bus, there was a strong sense of slaughter.

Chris. With a straight face, Paul was the first to step off the bus.

Originally, Paul was just helping little Jordan speak out, but the picture posted by Link yesterday really stimulated Paul himself.

As the league's No. 1 point guard, the only individual honor trophy Paul can get his hands on so far is only the best rookie and All-Star MVP who don't hurt...... After all, the best team, assist king, steal king and player of the month are all without trophies.

Watching Link just be in the fourth grade and be able to fill a table with trophies of honor, Paul was really angry.

The most striking thing is that there is also a championship ring in that pile of honors.

Paul admits that he did become "lemon essence" last night. Faced with this kind of thing, the best solution is to crush the opponent in the ring!

Only in this way can you swallow that bad breath. The most important thing is to appease Paul's unwillingness.

So, the Clippers have been preparing for the game for a long time. In the locker room, Doug . Rivers was indispensable for pouring chicken soup into the players.

Therefore, before the game started, all the players of the Los Angeles Clippers had a rage score of 200 percent!

When they came out to warm up, their eyes seemed to turn red. It's like a pack of wolves that have been starving for five or six days, and suddenly encounters an elk wandering alone.

The saliva of the Clippers players seems to have dripped on the wooden floor of the Federal Express Arena, and all that is left is killing!

"Finally, we've got the Grizzlies' Western Conference semifinals! This time, though, the Grizzlies' opponent doesn't look like a good thing to mess with. "Hubby. Brown looked at the unsmiling Clippers players, no one could have imagined that a Best Defensive Player award could cause such a big storm.

"Of course, the Clippers are definitely going to burst out of their full power today. Link is on the defensive end and will certainly be provoked many times. For Link, he had to juggle both offense and defense today. It has to be said that this is a huge challenge. "Brown is beside his partner, Jeff. Van Gundy replied.

Both knew it was going to be a tight game, with Jordan Jr. eyeing him every time Link stepped into the box.

But what about Link? He's relaxed, in stark contrast to the Clippers players.

Before the game, Link, who was interviewed on the sidelines, smiled very easily, "Even if the Clippers win, I am still the best defensive player." So, I don't know what they have to be angry about. Besides, they don't necessarily win. ”

Link's speech undoubtedly made the anger of the Clippers players rush to Tianlinggai.

Before the start of the game, it was also very rare for the players of both sides to not meet, shake hands and hug.

Paul only said one thing to Link before the game began, "Your saga is over in the Western Conference semifinals." ”

Instead of answering, Link pressed his leg in the designated position and waited for the referee to kick off.

He thought to himself, "We've had a legend before, what about you?" There was not even a chance for the legend to be terminated. ”
