One Thousand Three Hundred and Five: Something Incredible Begins

Link dunked Zion Williamson, and the Grizzlies beat the Pelicans.

There is no doubt that this game has become a hot topic in sports circles recently.

As expected, the scene of Link dunking on Zion began to be played on a loop in major sports media.

His achievement of killing Ingram and Zion by himself was also talked about by fans.

Of course, apart from that, what fans find most incredible is the Grizzlies' 26-game winning streak.

The 26-game winning streak is not just the NBA, but the second longest winning streak in the history of the entire North American professional sports league.

This is a very incredible number, but it is the second time the Grizzlies have achieved it.

There is no doubt that this is much harder than Link defeating Zion and Ingram.

However, if it just ties the previous record, it is not enough to surprise the fans.

The reason why everyone is so hotly discussing this second 26-game winning streak is because everyone knows that the Grizzlies are likely to continue to expand this winning streak this time!

The league's second-longest winning streak is likely to be rewritten.

A very cruel fact is that the Grizzlies' next few opponents don't seem to have the ability to win the game.

After the Pelicans, the five opponents behind the Grizzlies are the Celtics, Pistons, Suns, Nuggets and Knicks.

Among them, the Celtics can only be regarded as an ordinary playoff team this season. They do have the ability to compete with the Grizzlies, but it's best not to have high expectations.

As for the Detroit Pistons, they finally made it to the playoffs last season, but this season they are getting closer and closer to the lottery.

Blake Griffin's season reimbursement made the Pistons completely lose their competitiveness. It is said that the Pistons management has begun to seek to trade Drummond and Reggie Jackson.

It can be seen that the Pistons now want to completely rebuild. It is naturally impossible for a team like this to take a bite out of the Grizzlies.

The Phoenix Suns are the kind of team that has yet to realize their talent, although they have potential stars such as Ayton, Booker, and Oubre. But it turns out that any potential stock will be shut down in front of Link.

There have been too many examples of this this season.

Therefore, the Phoenix Suns have no chance of winning.

The Nuggets are similar to the Celtics. They have playoff-level strength, but they are not at the top of the league.

Needless to say, the New York power forward team, except for Julius Randle, no one in the team can average more than 15 points per game, and their strength is worrying.

From this point of view, it seems certain that the Grizzlies will win five consecutive games.

However, some fans believe that competitive sports are full of uncertainties. Although these five opponents are not as good as the Grizzlies on paper, the result of the game may not be as everyone expected.

In short, these five games that were originally uninteresting have now become quite eye-catching.

If the Grizzlies can really win all five games, it means that their winning streak will reach 31 wins!

In NBA history, except for the 33-win Lakers, no team has won more than 30 consecutive games.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the Grizzlies' next performance.

Once again, they will have a chance to make history!

The Lakers won 33 consecutive games in the early 1970s.

In other words, the vast majority of basketball fans have never witnessed with their own eyes how a team with 30+ consecutive wins plays, let alone what the concept of 30+ consecutive wins is.

When a miracle that only exists in legend is about to happen, everyone will feel a little awe.

So this time, no one stood up and made sarcastic remarks, and no one could intervene.

Even Michael Jordan said in an interview with reporters: "I don't want to make any comments, or I can't comment. After all, even I have never experienced such a long winning streak. So, everyone watched quietly. That’s fine.”

Everyone is mentally prepared to meet a brand new league record.

What about the Grizzlies? At the beginning, everyone was still under a lot of pressure.

The record of 30 consecutive victories is right in front of you, but if you make one wrong step, all your previous efforts will be wasted. To say there is no pressure is definitely impossible.

In the game against the Celtics on the 22nd, everyone was very nervous.

It can be seen that the Grizzlies players were a little too cautious and played timidly on the court.

Even though there was an opportunity, he was procrastinating and did not dare to make a decisive move.

Everyone is afraid of making mistakes and making mistakes. But the more afraid you are, the easier it will be to make mistakes and make mistakes.

The Celtics' barefoot players were not afraid of those who wore shoes, and instead played very well.

They don't have any pressure to win in a row. They don't feel ashamed if they lose, and they gain blood when they win. Therefore, the Celtics played very relaxedly, which allowed them to exert their full strength.

Until three minutes before the end of the game, the Celtics still took the lead thanks to the outstanding performances of Kemba Walker and Jayson Tatum.

But at the last moment, Link stood up and took up the offensive banner.

He is the only person on the Grizzlies team who can still maintain a sense of normalcy, and he is also the only person who still has the courage to step forward at critical moments.

This is where Link's value lies.

In the end, Link relied on his big-hearted performance at critical moments to lead the Grizzlies to a narrow victory over the Celtics 113-108, continuing their winning streak!

In this game, Link scored 42 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. He was the best player in the game.

He seems to be born for big scenes. When others are extremely nervous, he is quite excited.

After the game, former Grizzlies coach Brad Stevens, who was interviewed by reporters, shook his head helplessly: "There is nothing to say. Everyone is ready to witness history."

After this campaign, Link stepped forward to eliminate the tension of the Grizzlies players.

Yes, with Link at his side, what else is there to be afraid of?

So what if I make a mistake? As long as Link is here, victory will always belong to Memphis!

Now, everyone on the Grizzlies team is heading towards the record of 30 consecutive wins and embarking on a crazy impact.

In the second game against the Pistons, the Grizzlies' performance bottomed out.

Today, Link only scored 21 points and took a rest early. Because the performance of his teammates was also outstanding. Link didn't even need to take action, the game was won.

Rose's 23 points, Jokic's 18-point triple-double, and Dillon Brooks' 22 points were all key to the Grizzlies' victory.

The fact that this team has gotten to this point is not solely due to Link.

After this game, Bill Simmons posted a sentence on his social media: "Everyone can celebrate the birth of the second 30+ winning streak in history in advance, because the only thing that can stop the Grizzlies is themselves. And it's clear that they've defeated their negative emotions."

Bill Simmons is right, when the pressure is off, the Grizzlies are completely unbeatable.

The next three opponents, the Suns, Nuggets and Knicks, fulfilled what Bill Simmons said.

In these three games, Link's score did not exceed 25. The highest game was against the Nuggets, but he only scored 24 points.

But in all three games, the Grizzlies ended with big wins.

The Grizzlies who break out as a team are the strongest.

January 29, New York, Madison Square Garden.

When the electronic buzzer sounded, many New York fans even stood up and cheered for the Grizzlies.

Once again, fans witnessed a miracle inside Madison Square Garden.

And once again, this miracle doesn’t belong to the home team at Madison Square Garden…

"At the end of the game, 131 to 106, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Knicks! Cheer, because this is the Grizzlies' 31st consecutive victory this season! Yes, 31 games! They just broke the record of 30 consecutive wins the day before yesterday , but their winning streak still hasn’t stopped!”

Amid Mike Breen's shouting, Julius Randle, the Knicks' top scorer per game, even took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Link.

Although the Knicks were defeated, Randall didn't care about it at all. He only knew that he had to take this jersey with great historical significance home to treasure.

It seems to be quite good to become a background board for historical nodes...

After the game, countless reporters gathered around Link.

31 consecutive wins, this is a miracle that has never happened in modern basketball history!

Even in the Grizzlies' peak years, they never had a 30+ winning streak.

No one wanted to take a photo of this historic scene.

However, facing the reporters' cameras and questions, Link just kept grinning and said nothing.

He turned sideways, pointed to the retired jersey belonging to Patrick Ewing hanging on the dome of Madison Square Garden, and then walked away.

The reporters looked at Ewing's jersey and were stunned.

What does the "Gorilla" jersey have to do with Link? What does Link mean?

Finally, the reporters suddenly realized and opened their mouths in horror. .

The number on Ewing's retired jersey is No. 33.

It seems that Link hasn't won enough yet.
