One Thousand and Seventy Nine: The Biggest Problem at Christmas Is Giving Gifts

From the beginning of the 16-17 season to now, Link has swept all the opponents he met on the road.

That said, it's not because of the Grizzlies' 27-1 record. Because even if the team wins, a certain player's performance in the game may not be the best.

For example, although the Rockets defeated the Warriors in early December, Harden's personal performance in that game was actually not as good as Durant.

You can say that the Rockets defeated the Warriors, but you cannot say that Harden defeated Durant.

However, Link not only wins, he also plays better than his competitors in almost every game.

Against the Bucks on November 4, the Grizzlies defeated the Grizzlies by 18 points. Link also completely overwhelmed "Antetokounmpo" with 33 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.

Against the Clippers on November 5th, the Grizzlies won by 35 points. For now, Link’s 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists were better than Paul and Griffin combined.

Against the Trail Blazers on November 7, Link scored 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and a buzzer beater, beating the Trail Blazers' backcourt to death.

On December 5th, against the "Galactic Warriors", Link scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, the best in the game!

Against the Lakers and facing Lu Wei, Link defeated his opponent again with 48 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Facing Harden against the Rockets, Link even produced "the strongest triple-double in history"...

From the Bucks to the Rockets, from "Antetokounmpo" to "The Beard", the Grizzlies have encountered more than one monster this season.

But without exception, they were all stepped on by Link.

Whether you rely on physical talent to run rampant or rely on porcelain and data analysis to attack efficiently, Link can handle it.

In other words, from the beginning of the season to now, Link has never been truly defeated!

That's right, the Grizzlies' current record is 27 wins and 1 loss, and they have lost one game.

But Link didn't. So far, Link's losses are still 0.

No one can have an advantage in a head-on confrontation with Link.

He has trampled countless "monsters" under his feet, and now, it's LeBron James' turn!

Although there are still a few days before the start of the Christmas war, the duel between Link and James has become the most high-profile collision at present.

This season, the Cavaliers' record is quite good. With 19 wins and 6 losses, they firmly occupy the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Moreover, the Cavaliers have not been injured this year.

James, Love and Irving are all in excellent form.

Compared with last season, the statistics of Irving and Love have been greatly improved.

During the regular season last season, Irving averaged only 19.6 points per game and shot only 32.1% from three-point range.

But this season, Irving's scoring average has soared to 25.2 points per game, ranking tenth in the league and entering the top ten in scoring! Irving's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 40.1%.

Love's scoring average has also increased from 16 points last season to 19.2 points, and his three-point shooting percentage has also increased by 1.3 percentage points compared to last year.

Not to mention James, although he is no longer young, he has no tendency to decline at all.

Averaged 26.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game! Thirty-year-old James is still able to produce an all-around data that is close to a triple-double per game this season!

And in the game against the Bucks a few days ago,

James' 34 points and 12 rebounds also suppressed the young Antetokounmpo.

Facts have proven that James is still one of the best players in the league. Facing the challenges from his juniors, he did not fall behind at all.

Although people are talking more about the Warriors and Grizzlies now, it is Link and Durant.

But LeBron James, the "Chosen One," never gave up the competition.

The outstanding performances of the Cavaliers and James this season have given many people confidence in the Cavaliers.

Maybe, James will become the only "monster" who will not be defeated by Link!

Of course, some people think the Grizzlies will continue to be invincible. Link has defeated James many times, not least this time.

In this regard, countless reporters and media outlets have published articles to support their views.

In the comment areas below these articles, fans of the two teams are usually spitting at each other.

The atmosphere of the battle was instantly hyped up. Even without official promotion and hype, the ratings of this game will definitely soar.

You know, except for the duel between Link and James. The reunion of Wade and James as competitors is also quite interesting.

But before that, both sides still have games to play.

Something unexpected happened to the Grizzlies. On December 20, in the home game against the Boston Celtics, the Grizzlies, who had a well-organized lineup, actually lost.

This is mainly because Isaiah Thomas, who is only 1.75 meters tall, performed superbly. He scored 45 points in the game, including an exaggerated 7-for-10 three-pointers!

Even Link couldn't resist such a three-point shooting rate.

In the end, the Celtics won the game with an 8-point advantage, while the Grizzlies suffered their first loss since Link's return.

The most surprising thing in this game is undoubtedly Thomas. No one knows how he, who is only 1.75 meters tall, scored 40+ points on the Grizzlies!

After all, Link only scored 34 points in this game. If Thomas can be considered a "monster", then he may be the only player currently who can suppress Link in terms of personal performance.

This game caused an uproar, because Thomas proved with practical actions that Link was not invincible!

Defeating Link is not something magical or impossible.

At this time, Cavaliers fans are happier than Celtics fans.

Just as the Celtics can defeat the Grizzlies, the Cavaliers must be able to do the same.

Although the Grizzlies quickly avoided a losing streak in the next game against the Pistons, Cavaliers fans simply ignored this game and still clung to the game where the Grizzlies lost.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers defeated two top teams, the Bucks and Rockets, before the Christmas game! And in these two games, James performed very well!

At this point, the confidence of Cavaliers fans and the Cleveland media has reached its highest level!

"What Link defeated, LeBron could also defeat! So, LeBron has a chance of winning!"

"Link was actually knocked down by Isaiah Thomas, haha, LeBron and Irving are ten times more dangerous than Thomas!"

"I know this game is not easy to win, but the Cavaliers have a better chance of winning!"

For a moment, the Cavaliers seemed to have the upper hand in momentum.

On December 22, after the Cavaliers defeated the Bucks, James also stood up and spoke for the first time.

"Of course I will try my best. The Grizzlies are the most likely opponent we will encounter in the finals. Therefore, we have only one goal - to defeat him! Link's previous record is indeed very good, but he and I have met before. All the 'monsters' that arrive are different."

Thirty-year-old James is still eager to defeat Link, although he has become the biggest backdrop during the Grizzlies' three consecutive championships. But until now, he is still thinking about how to turn over!

And what about Link?

As James spoke impassionedly, Memphis reporters photographed Link in and out of the mall recently.

In Link's words on social media. "Compared with the Christmas battle, what Christmas gifts to give to my teammates is a bigger headache for me."

Link's dismissive attitude angered countless Cleveland fans, who promised that Link would pay for his slight.

However, Link just thought of another way to motivate his teammates...
