1,262: Memphis Level 1 Protected Athlete

The Lakers won nine consecutive games and ended the Grizzlies' four-game winning streak.

This undoubtedly makes Lakers fans happy. After all, they are the team with the record closest to the Grizzlies in the league.

The most important thing is, closer to the Grizzlies than the Clippers.

After the game, James, who completed the quasi-killing shot, showed his kingly style again: "We have the perseverance to fight with any team until the end, and we will not give in."

James is really good at talking. If Link were here, he would definitely be moved to tears and applaud James' strength!

I have been overwhelmed by Link for most of my career, and now I am still so impassioned. Can I not be touched?

James really deserves respect for this.

Unfortunately, Link was not at the Lakers' press conference. Therefore, when James finished saying that, he found that the underground reporters had no reaction at all and looked absent-minded.

"James made a buzzer-beater to win the game? Oh, that's great, then what?"

This is what reporters really think at this time.

No matter how great James was tonight, he is no longer the most popular player in the league right now.

Although the Lakers won the game, most reporters were more concerned about the Grizzlies and Link.

They wanted to know how Link felt after the Grizzlies lost this game. I am also very concerned about whether Link's injury will affect the Grizzlies' remaining games this season.

Therefore, even though the reporters who came to attend the Lakers' press conference were sitting here, their hearts went to the Grizzlies.

James curled his lips. Sure enough, this world championship is king.

Link has won the most championships, so the spotlight is on him. Even if he loses the game, he is the one who attracts the most attention.

James shook his head helplessly. When you said I was the chosen one, you didn't treat me like this...

A bunch of scumbags!

On the other side, Link, who has attracted much attention from reporters, is not happy either.

Because he was furious at this obviously provocative question.

Link looked at the reporter who asked the question and showed a disdainful smile: "If I had taken the last shot, would the result have been different? Then let me ask you, if Derrick Rose had not been injured, would he have missed the last shot? ? If the Trail Blazers had chosen Jordan, could they have created two dynasties? If I had chosen to play overseas, you wouldn't be sitting here talking to me."

"None of these 'ifs' will happen and the answer will never be known, because 'ifs' mean nothing, the next question."

Link replied angrily. If it had been a few years ago, he would have swore loudly.

Anyway, Joke doesn't dare to fine himself easily now.

The critical reporter was turned away and was very unhappy.

He is still so arrogant after losing the game. I have never seen such an arrogant person in my whole life.

However, once this topic was raised, even if Link did not answer directly, he could not suppress the reporters' creativity.

After the press conference, Link took out his cell phone and took a look.

Sure enough, the whole world is discussing this topic.

"Without Link's 61 points, the Grizzlies really can't compete with the Lakers."

"The Grizzlies are a team that relies heavily on Link, and this kind of team that relies too much on its star player generally has a hard time going very far."

If he just said this, Link wouldn't be very angry.

But the key is that someone actually took advantage of Rose.

"Stop mentioning the double MVP combination. Without Link, Rose can't do anything."

"Rose's victory is all based on Link. In this cruel world, there are no inspirational stories of resurrection. Rose still cannot help the team on his own."

Seeing the negative reports about Rose, Link felt quite uncomfortable.

No wonder Rose is reluctant to embrace the spotlight. Sure enough, they kick you away faster than you think.

Rose's hard work, strength and determination were completely unknown to them and they didn't care.

Adding insult to injury is their real specialty.

Link looked at the blank wall in the player tunnel and shook his head.

I just hope Rose doesn't lose confidence again due to these bullshit reports.

※※※

After the game against the Lakers, Link drove to the training facility early the next day.

True to form, Dillon Brooks, a new generation of gym rats, has started shooting. In the locker room, Dwight Howard tidied up the locker room just like every morning.

Although it has been a month since the season started, there are also rumors that the Grizzlies are considering turning Howard's contract into a guaranteed contract.

But even so, Howard remains as humble as he was at the beginning of the season. It seems that his label as "a cancer in the locker room" can really be taken off.

But what surprised Link was that beside Brooks, Derrick Rose was already wearing training clothes and starting to practice shooting.

He is practicing his mid-range step-back jumper, which is one of Rose's trump cards this season.

Rose's training uniform is already soaked, which means he's been here for a long time.

Link was just about to go up and shoot two more balls, but he felt a chill down his spine.

Turning his head, he saw that, sure enough, the chief team doctor Moon was staring at Link with his serious eyes.

"Um...I said I came here for breakfast, do you believe it?"

Link scratched his head. Moon had informed Link last night, telling him not to rush into training the next day.

After giving him a complete evaluation, we will decide whether he can play.

Moon knew that Link couldn't be obedient, so he came to the training hall early in the morning.

"Come down Link, we will give you a comprehensive physical assessment now." Moon did not fight with Link.

Link had no choice but to put down the basketball and follow Moon.

Although Link's ankle no longer felt severe pain, it was not swollen at the same time.

The examination results also showed that Link's injury was just an ordinary mild sprain.

But after Moon completed all the examinations for Link, he still suggested a truce.

"You can play now, but it's definitely safest to wait until you're healed."

After hearing what Munn said, Link looked at Jorge pitifully.

The team doctor only gave his advice, and it was the head coach who ultimately decided whether Link would play or not.

Qiaogel nodded slightly to Link, with an expression of "Don't worry, leave it to me."

"Moon, it's obvious that Link's injury is almost healed. He just suffered a mild sprain..."

After hearing what Qiao Geer said, Link waved his arms excitedly.

Qiao Geer is really interesting!

Tomorrow, the Grizzlies will also face the Utah Jazz at home. A few days ago, the two sides met, and Link missed the winning goal in the last 0.4 seconds. This made Link depressed for a while.

There is finally a chance for revenge tomorrow, and Link doesn't want to miss the game.

But just when Link was waving his arms in excitement, Jorge changed the subject: "Although it's just a mild sprain, I agree with Moon's view. Link, you should rest in the next game. November's You don't play in the last game, and you wait until the first game against the Timberwolves in December before you come back."

Link looked at Munn and Qiaogel, and the two guys looked at each other and smiled.

It turns out that they were on the same side, and he was a partner who was deceived.

Link shook his head. Is this what it feels like to be a panda?

He is simply a first-level protected athlete in Memphis.

Link knew that it was useless to refute, so he could only silently accept Qiao Geer's arrangement.

Tomorrow's game against the Jazz, Link can only watch from the sidelines wearing a suit.

As for the last 0.4 seconds of revenge last time, only other people could help Link get it back.

During the media opening session in the afternoon, Joger officially announced that Link would not appear tomorrow.

This news was also confirmed by Link himself: "My injury is very serious. Really, I can't go out without a wheelchair. We are definitely not doing rotational rest on purpose, absolutely not!"

After Link finished speaking, he swaggered back to the locker room...

Did you agree to use a wheelchair?

Link's absence from the game has undoubtedly become a topic of conversation among reporters and fans.

Of course, this also raises another topic - without Link, can the Grizzlies defeat the Utah Jazz?

After all, the last time Link was around, the Jazz dragged the Grizzlies to the end and won the game.

In this regard, most neutral fans believe: "Without Link, the Grizzlies have nothing to fear. In the next game, the Jazz will most likely give the Grizzlies their first losing streak this season."

But just the night before the game started, Link posted an update on social media.

"Even if I'm on the sidelines, the Grizzlies still win."

Suddenly, the originally ordinary game between the Grizzlies and Jazz began to become very popular.
