Two Hundred and Fifty-Four: Behemoth Tamer

By the end of the first quarter, the Kings had fallen into despair. The offense couldn't score, the defense couldn't defend, and the Kings couldn't find a good player in the entire first quarter. 6 people get a point each, and it is not easy to get 21 points...

On the Grizzlies side, Link scored 12 points alone, more than Cousins ​​and Evans combined. The Kings, like the Timberwolves, are free to have good talent, but they always make jokes on the basketball court.

However, it is not the Sacramento fans who are most worried at this time. After all, they are used to losing. At this time, the most worried and feared are the Clippers fans! They are now really afraid of Link's corner overtaking and get the starting position of the All-Star.

In all fairness, Link's performance during this period was indeed better than Griffin. After Paul was injured during this period, Griffin did not eat so smoothly, and all kinds of low shooting percentages came out.

On the contrary, it was Link. It seemed that the stats of each game were "unremarkable", but they were stable. The stats and hit rate would not collapse. Basically, each game was 20+5+5.

Griffin finally played decently in the last game, but I'm afraid he will be crushed by Link again today.

Fear, the Grizzlies brought only fear to the Sacramentos and Los Angeles.

But that's the big villain.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies continued to rise. Shane Battier, who came off the bench, had a good feeling. He made 4 of 5 3-pointers in a single quarter, and Fredette, who finally made 3 of 4 from 3-point line, was completely stunned.

In the third quarter, Pau Gasol pressed Cousins ​​to the ground and rubbed vigorously. He, who has never been known for scoring, scored 11 points in a single quarter and played the irascible Cousins ​​all over the place. On the brain, Pau Gasol is indeed easier to use than Cousins.

In the third quarter of the Kings, only 2 people had scoring data, and the others scored 0 in that column. Cousins ​​went 0 for 3, Fredette went 0 for 2, and Thomas went 0 for 4.

awful!

In the final moments of the third quarter, Link ended the final offense with his signature cross-step mid-range shot.

After the ball, all Memphis fans stood and cheered. With 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Link scored 30 points in three quarters. Griffin said he was ashamed.

"With 30 points in three quarters, Link responded to Blake Griffin's 18 points yesterday in an extremely tough way! If you ask me to comment, I definitely think Link is more qualified to play as an All-Star starter! Griffin is in After Paul was injured, he was like a child who could not find his mother,

Head-to-head. Link, but always knows what to do on the basketball court! Vote now guys, the All-Star Game needs this kind of good starter! "

Hubby Brown kept blowing, no way, this game was really good. From the first quarter, there is no suspense until now. The Kings are already 25 points behind at this point, and the game has entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

The Kings team only scored 16 points in the third quarter, which means that even if the Grizzlies don't score a point in the fourth quarter, the Kings may not be able to level the score.

The Memphis Grizzlies are now facing these lottery teams and really have no trouble playing! On the other hand, the Clippers and Griffin overturned on the head of the Timberwolves!

After the start of the fourth quarter, Link sat directly on the bench to rest. Today he wanted to get some rest time, so he worked so hard in the first three quarters.

The intensive schedule has caused injuries to various degrees in each team, and Randolph has only just returned from the Grizzlies.

In order to protect yourself, this kind of game that can not play the fourth quarter, resolutely do not play! The three-quarter punch was Link's goal from the very beginning.

"Ready to be an All-Star starter?" On the bench, Randolph looked even more excited than Link.

"It's impossible to say, Zach." Link smiled and waved his hand. The fans' love was beyond his control.

"Can't tell? You were just 5,000 votes away from Griffin the last time the results came out. You know what? If you do, you'll be the first All-Star starter in Grizzlies history! That's another one. Team history record, Link." Randolph looked serious, obviously not joking with Link.

Pau Gasol was an All-Star, but he was just an All-Star backup during the Grizzlies. The same goes for Randolph, who has never enjoyed a start in the All-Star Game. As for Conley, this poor guard is in the West and can't even squeeze into the All-Star bench.

Link suddenly felt this solemnity. He was not only carrying himself, but also the glory of the entire team.

Don't look at Randolph giggling all day, in fact, he is very concerned about the development of Grizzlies and Link. If Link can become the Grizzlies' first All-Star starter, Randolph believes it will be a big breakthrough for both Grizzlies and Link!

Link now knows why Randolph said, "If Link scores less than 18, I will walk back to the locker room on my head." Maybe he didn't just want to be funny, but wanted to force Link secretly.

This guy really did his best for the Grizzlies.

"I'll go to All-Star Weekend with our pride and honor, Zach. Tomorrow, wait and see the result." Link stretched out his arm and touched Randolph.

After 12 minutes, the game was over. 128 to 95, the Grizzlies mercilessly beat the Kings by 33 points at home!

This is the Grizzlies' highest-scoring game so far this season! Of course, it was also the game with the biggest point difference.

Link didn't play for a minute in the fourth quarter, so the data was still 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. In addition, Gay also scored 23 points, Conley 22 points. Pau Gasol scored 20 points... Counting Link, a total of 4 Grizzlies scored 20 points today.

On some teams, maybe a player in a certain position will turn into an ATM. But the king is very strange, the whole team is an ATM!

After scoring 19 points and 11 rebounds, Cousins, who was blown up by Gasol Jr. in the second half, did not forget to hug Link after the game. But obviously, the guy's expression wasn't as cheerful as the first half.

"I shouldn't have said that, Link." Cousins ​​shook his head while hugging Link.

"What?"

"I shouldn't have said that I support you. Now, I'm fucking supporting you in action."

"Hahahaha, then should I say thank you?" Link finished, pulling on Cousins' headband, "Keep going, man, one day we'll start together at the All-Star Game."

The reporters were stunned to pull Cousins' headband. Isn't Link afraid of being beaten! ? Who dares to interact with Cousins ​​like this!

However, Cousins ​​didn't respond, just shrugged.

There are currently two people in this league who will never be afraid of being beaten by Cousins. One is Cousins' college teammate John Wall, and the other is Link.

Watching Link make Cousins ​​extremely docile, watching Link overwhelm Griffin's wild beast in performance, ESPN's reporter suddenly came up with a headline.

And this title finally appeared in the newspapers of major media the next day.

"Link, the beast tamer, will wait for his own destiny".

There are only three hours left until the NBA All-Star starting lineup is announced.
