One Thousand One Hundred and Seven: Trash Brothers Who Are Not Trash

The news that Link may miss tonight's game due to a fever has become the most concerning news today besides his regaining the top spot in the MVP rankings.

It can be said that the highlight of this entire game is whether Link can play.

If Link can play, the Raptors will most likely be cool.

It hurts to say this, but Lowry and DeRozan are not players at the same level as Link.

Lowry barely got any playing time with the Grizzlies, but he finally made a name for himself with the Rockets. From obscurity to league superstar, he is one of the most inspirational players in the NBA. But similarly, Lowry's talent is indeed not top-notch.

Although DeRozan is a lottery pick, he is a player with very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

In this era when even Gasol once took 10 three-pointers in a game, DeRozan, as a second position, is not good at mid-range and long-range shots!

DeRozan's "career masterpiece" from beyond the three-point line was in the 10-11 season.

That year, DeRozan took a total of 52 three-pointers, but only hit 5 of them.

The season's three-point shooting percentage is only 9.2%.

If someone says that James is three points behind, DeRozan will definitely be the first to refuse to accept it.

Therefore, DeRozan has never become a league superstar. He's a genuine All-Star and a good second position, but that's about it.

It's hard to imagine how these two guys can compete with a monster who once hit four double-doubles in a single game. If Link were to appear alive and kicking today, the suspense of the game would at least be reduced by half!

But if Link is really unable to play, the result of the game may not be certain.

So whether there is any suspense in this game depends entirely on whether Link will appear.

When the two sides were warming up, Link went up and shot two, but the amount of exercise was not large.

When the referee signaled the starting players from both sides to take their places, the Raptors fans finally cheered.

As expected, Link didn’t come up!

At the beginning of the game, Iguodala took off his training uniform and started. Link was sitting on the sidelines in training clothes, and the "possible absence" immediately turned into a real absence.

The Raptors thus got their only chance to win this game!

Jorge was very confused, wondering why Link did not take a good rest in the hotel and receive treatment from the team doctor, but insisted on following him to the stadium.

He also asked Link before the game.

Link's answer was: "I want to fight with my teammates. Besides, if the momentum goes wrong, you can replace me and try."

Of course, Jogel did not consider the latter possibility at all. Link has been suffering from a high fever, and even if the Grizzlies are really in trouble, putting him on the court will not help.

Yes, both Michael Jordan and Dirk Nowitzki have given fans wonderful "Flu Fights." But that is just an example after all, and it cannot be followed casually.

The game started soon. For the Grizzlies, except for replacing Link with Iguodala, the other four starters remained the same.

But after all, it was a long distance back-to-back, and Conley and others also had some colds. Therefore, Joger will greatly reduce the playing time of the starting players today.

The Raptors went out with all their strength.

All five starters, Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Patterson and Valanciunas, are ready to seize the opportunity of Link's absence to end the four-game losing streak!

From the beginning of the game, the Raptors showed their determination to win.

Valanciunas and Gasol were both on the floor, but the tired Gasol still let Valanciunas fight for the ball.

As soon as he came up, DeRozan relied on Wade to break through easily and successfully made a layup.

Wade's steps were extremely slow today, as if he was hanging on a lead.

The on-site commentator also noticed the problems of Gasol and Wade, "24 hours ago, the Grizzlies were still fighting with the strongest Cavaliers in the East, 1,280 kilometers away in Memphis. They fought hard until the last moment, and then did not get any respite. The opportunity now appears here again, fighting against another strong team in the Eastern Conference. It's hard for me to imagine how tired the Grizzlies players are now."

Everyone knows that the Grizzlies' physical fitness is not in the best condition, but there is no such thing as mercy in competitive sports.

The Grizzlies counterattacked, and Jokic passed a good ball to Conley who was cutting in with his back.

As long as Conley can catch the ball, he can immediately attack the frame easily.

But Lowry was one step ahead of Conley today, and Lowry, who is called a "little steel cannon" by fans, has a weight that is unmatched by ordinary No. 1 players.

His confrontation ability is absolutely outstanding among the No. 1 positions.

Being hit by Lowry like this, Conley, who was already a little weak, even lost his pace.

In this way, what might have been a wonderful pass in normal times turned into a mistake today.

Lowry successfully steals the ball and the Raptors counterattack!

Facing Iguodala who was retreating to the basket, Lowry didn't have any hesitation or fear and just charged straight at him!

In the air, Lowry softly sent the ball toward the backboard. Although the whole person fell to the ground during the confrontation, the basketball obediently reflected into the net.

The referee whistle blows, 2+1.

"A beautiful counterattack, Lowry played a one-stop fast break after a steal! As soon as the game started, DeRozan and Lowry scored goals respectively. It seems that they also want to end their recent losing streak as soon as possible."

After Lowry fell, DeRozan rushed up to give him a hand.

Lowry happily patted DeRozan on the back and then stood at the free throw line.

DeRozan and Lowry may be one of the best duos in the league.

They met in this icy "basketball desert" and both experienced the team's lowest ebb.

They know that no one will stand up in this team, and it is impossible to attract any superstars to join. The next Chris Bosh may never appear.

No matter what, they both have to shoulder the burden themselves!

Unless they are willing to stay in Toronto with this team for the rest of their lives.

As a result, the two guys who were not ready encouraged each other and relied on their own strength to lead the Raptors up step by step.

Until now, it has become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the east.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if DeRozan and Lowry lacked each other.

When DeRozan was unhappy because of his depression, Lowry would make him laugh. On the basketball court, DeRozan is also Lowry's most trusted partner.

Facing the Cavaliers led by James in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, DeRozan and Lowry failed.

But they were not really defeated, they still encouraged each other and were ready to start over!

They still firmly believe that the Raptors can break James' monopoly on the Eastern Conference championship!

They are nicknamed "trash brothers" by fans, but they are an extremely tenacious pair.

And today, with the opportunity to defeat the Grizzlies, DeRozan and Lowry will not show mercy!

They weren't going to allow the losing streak to grow and watch the Celtics throw them away.

No matter what, even if they fall and are pulled up by each other, even if they are bruised and bruised, they must end the game!

Lowry, with a determined goal, stepped to the free throw line and hit the extra penalty. The Raptors started 5-0!

Lowry and DeRozan made a good start to this game, but the exhausted Grizzlies were a little overwhelmed.

After that, the Raptors' offensive became higher and higher. The Grizzlies, after experiencing a highly valuable seven-game winning streak, are somewhat weak in the follow-up.

Slow movement, frequent turnovers, and inaccurate shooting. These labels that should not appear on the Grizzlies all appeared today.

Dazed, Link sat on the bench and kept drinking water.

Although he doesn't want to play in this state now, he must be prepared. As of now, the situation is not optimistic!

The game lasted half of the game, with DeRozan and Lowry scoring 14 and 15 points respectively. But from the Grizzlies side, only Gasol scored in double figures!

The Grizzlies were struggling, and it was obvious that no one wanted their winning streak to end. But there is no way, it is really boring!

Now, a huge 18-point difference hangs over the Grizzlies' heads. If the situation does not improve in the second half, the result will be final.

But the point is, the Grizzlies will become more tired in the second half...can they really perform better by then?

This appears to be a dead end situation for the Grizzlies.

Link stood up and high-fived his teammates as they walked off the court.

He admires Lowry and DeRozan from the bottom of his heart, and even more admires his teammates who never gave up.

But sometimes, not giving up is not enough.

After looking at the score, Link sighed.

If you are lazy today, you may not be able to steal.
