"Memphis Grizzlies beat the Knicks in three quarters and won eight straight!"

"Eight-game winning streak starts, and the golden age of Memphis is here!?"

"Link has 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and his all-round data is better than Carmelo Anthony! The best of the week in the West defeated the best of the week in the East, and Link is unstoppable!"

The next day, the Memphis Grizzlies were once again the hottest team. 105 to 95, the score doesn't look like the difference is too big. But fans who have watched the game know that the Knicks were extremely passive by the Grizzlies.

Of course, the outside world is not unanimously praised for the Grizzlies. At the press conference after the game, Carmelo Anthony said, "We lost inexplicably because we were called a lot of inexplicable fouls."

The New York media also booed, "Three players fouled 5 times, it's unbelievable. This is a shameful game, and the referee is the best player of the night."

However, Anthony and the New York media's own defenses are actually not very tenable. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Knicks did a lot of action in that game, and the referee just enforced the law impartially.

In addition to common fouls, the Knicks had three technical fouls. This is not because the action is too big, but because of the trash talk.

Therefore, although they tried their best to argue, the Knicks did not escape the fate of being taken out by the major media the next day.

After beating the New York Knicks, the Grizzlies can finally take a breather. The new season started with just eight games, but the Grizzlies basically met a few strong teams.

The Clippers, Rockets, Heat, Thunder and Knicks... In 8 games, 5 of them have strong opponents, which is a huge test for the physical and psychological strength of the Grizzlies players.

But after the Knicks, the situation improved. In the remaining games in November, the Grizzlies will face the Bobcats, Nuggets, Lakers, Cavaliers and Raptors. Among them, the Lakers and Nuggets are also notoriously difficult to deal with.

But in the end, it's better than playing James and playing Durant, and playing Durant and Anthony.

After the victory over the Knicks, in addition to lamenting the strength of the Grizzlies this season, the media are also discussing Link's progress.

His ability to win three straight games against top small forwards surprised many pundits.

"Victory? Please, without Andrea Iguodala, do you think Link can win?"

"Link's performance was really good, but honestly, his teammates also contributed. So we can't say that Link beat James, Durant and Anthony, but the Grizzlies beat them."

"In the game against the Heat, Link should thank Nick Young for his incredible shooting percentage. Against the Thunder, Link should thank Jimmy Butler who suddenly stood up. Against the Knicks, Link should thank the referee for his whistle. He won? Win what?"

Many said Link didn't really beat the three top small forwards. After all, it's not easy to get people to accept that an undrafted pick is so powerful.

For those voices that denied him, Link didn't feel angry. When someone discusses you, it just proves that you are already famous.

Otherwise, why don't people compare Ronnie Brewer to James?

The words of the outside world did not affect Link's mood at all. He happily set off to the airport, preparing to fly to Charlotte with the team.

When I went out, I even hummed a little song.

But Link is in such a good mood, not only because he won the Knicks and Anthony.

Stevens deliberately brought the players to Charlotte one day early, just to free up enough training time.

So in the afternoon, the Grizzlies players were already working out at the Time Warner Center's No. 2 practice facility in Charlotte.

Since the Bobcats left the group of Gerald Wallace,

The results, which were finally improving, declined again.

Last season, the Bobcats ranked last in the league. All season, only a humiliating seven games were won. Even in a shortened season, winning only seven games in a season is an exaggeration.

Even more unfortunate is that the wildly rotten Bobcats have not yet drawn the No. 1 pick. So, I can only watch super genius Anthony Davis go to New Orleans. And they backed off, taking Kentucky forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

Although the two are only one pick apart, from the current point of view, the talents of Gilchrist and Anthony Davis are not at the same level...  

Therefore, even with Kemba Walker and Gilchrist two rookies, the Bobcats' record this season is quite anxious. Not surprisingly, he went to the top spot again.

But even in the face of such an underdog, Stevens did not relax too much. A game that shouldn't be lost, it's best not to lose a game at all.

Stevens can't stand things like a gutter capsize.

So the Grizzlies' workouts are still the same, just less intense.

After training for a while, it was time for the media opening time.

Stevens was surprised to find that even on the road, there were quite a few reporters who came to the training hall to interview... Maybe more reporters than the home team.

The lynx is so miserable.

"Hey, look and see." Just as the reporters were looking for someone to interview, Randolph poked Tony Allen beside him with his elbow, and pointed at Link.

"What are you looking at? I found out why you are so interested in Link. You might as well move to his house."

"Damn, look at the female reporter who interviewed Link! Are you familiar with it!"

"Which one? Hey, isn't that Rachel Demita? Why did she follow her to Charlotte again?" Tony, who was still serious just now, started gossiping in an instant.

"Hey, let me just say it! This season, they meet more and more often. Ouch!"

Tony Allen patted Randolph on the head, "It's none of your business, you look like a paparazzi."

"Cut, why don't we take a gamble?"

"Okay, okay... No, I mean, it's okay to play with you." Tony Allen couldn't hold back his excitement when he heard the word "gambling".

"Bet $1,000, and I dare say that Link's kid definitely has an affair with her!"

"Boring, okay, deal!"

After the interview, everyone ran a few more tactics together, and today's training is over.

In the evening, the players are free to roam in Charlotte. On this point, Stevens is more relaxed than Hollins. However, Stevens also has his own rules, no drinking, no staying up late, no overeating, this is the most basic.

While changing in the locker room, Randolph winked at Tony Allen. Mr. Tony then approached Link and began to frame his words.

"Just change your clothes? Why don't you practice today?"

"Extra practice? Aren't we going to play tomorrow? Besides, this is the home ground of the Bobcats, and they may not keep us here until the evening." Link replied, putting on his casual clothes.

"Then... let's play games together at night!"

"Tony, what are you trying to say?" Link looked at Mr. Tony contemptuously. "You never play games! Come on, do you have any plans with a fat guy?"

The whole locker room laughed, and Randolph whistled, pretending he wasn't the fattest person in the locker room.

"No, there are no intentions. It's just that life here is unfamiliar and boring, and I want to hang out with you."

"You guys go Tony, I have an appointment tonight."

"With whom!?" Tony Allen immediately became excited, this is about a $1,000 bet!

Link didn't answer, but walked out of the locker room with a pleasant smile.

Randolph looked at Tony Allen and shrugged, "You owe me $1,000 now."

"Shit, what if he goes out with friends?" Tony Allen was still struggling.

"Have you heard that Link has friends in Charlotte? Even if there is, you told me that boy dressed up so handsomely to meet men?"

Link, who had walked out of the locker room, didn't know that he had become a bet between Randolph and Mr. Tony. He just took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Rachel using his private number.

"I'm off, I'll be there soon."
